Serious injury in a runaway accident

daughter of Richard Reid Rogers, gen.

mission. She was carried many blocks
by her frightened holse, and only the
heroism of c. H. Birdsall of 1853 Irving

as the animal passed the corner of 18th
street and Columbia road and saved her
While Mr.. Birdsall failed in his first at
tempt he succeeded in turning the horse
into vacant lot, where he overlook it
and brought it to standsti!l halfway
up the side of steep embankment. Miss
Rogers held her seat bravely, but she was
thrown as the horse bolted up the en-
bankment and part of her riding habit
caught in the saddle. Her head was drag
ging on the ground when the horse was
stopped, but she escaped with only a few
bruises.

Senator Hale a Busy Man-Instances
of how he Pushes Things.
WARRINGTON, d. c., Feb. Is Especial
lot of work of late. He became tired of
the endless talk-talk in the Senate on an
appropriation bill, the other day, and
went to his residence to spend the after
noon. He had bad cold, and thought it
would be good opportunity to rest. The
word went around the capitol that at last
the senior Maine senator had given up,
the grip as so many senators and members
younger than he have done at this session
of Congress.
But there was where Mr.. Hale fooled
them all. He was back in his seat next
day, and very lively sick man. For he
warned the Senate that it must be pre-
pared not only to sit days, but also to sit
nights to get the appropriation bills out
of the way. Mr.. Hale never asks the SEN
ate to do anything he is unwilling to do
himself. He was ready to work night and
day because he realized the necessity of
giving the appropriation bills careful con-
sideration. II the Senate had not loafed
as much earlier in the session and had not
talked as long on other matters much of
the talk probably having been unnecessary
Mr.. Hale would not have needed to prod
his colleagues to action.
"But some one has to look out for u.s."
said a prominent republican senator re-
Gently. 'If it was not for Senator Hale
we should drift on, and find the close of
the session confronting us without having
accomplished our tasks"
The senator made an especially good
record this year with his navy appropri-
alton bill. As soon as it came over from
the House he called his committee to-
gether. They met in the morning at 10
O'Clock, and by noon, when the Senate
convened, the bill had been completed,
and, with its total OF over 500, 900, 600 was
ready for report.
Following that Mr.. Hale secured the
passage of the measure in the Senate in the
exceedingly brief time OF ffty-two min
utes. 1t used to take three or four days to
pass the navy appropriation bill, but Mr..
Hale has the confidence of the Senate to
such an extent that it accepts his state
ments without question.
