from their home and their mothers
thought they were In the yard at
play. Passenger train No. Q was
over due and many persons were
crowded around the station. When
IL blew the signal the crowd started
FOR 1T, but suddenly they heard sew
eral alarm whistles in rapid success
sion. All eyes were turned in the
direction OF the train, but many were
seen to turn and cover their faces
from the sad spectacle they had seen.
The train ran across one Of the lit
tie girls and cut off both legs. Jim
Brown, colOred man, who works
at Johnson's saloon seeing the dan
ger, rushed upon the tract. and
though endangered his life, saved
one Of the girls AS he cleared the
track, the train struck him but the
injury was not serious The child
which he could not reach was taken
to the Miners Hospital and died the
same afternoon. The girls mothers

beautiful wife, Augustine, in the
Superior Court Of Fairfield county.
Lord is one OF the wealthy retired
men who have settled in Trumbull.
.lte has magnificent estate with a
beautiful home, With 25 acres of
land, which were recently the pride
Of the Lords. The suit in many re-
spects resembles the Hartje case Of
Pittsburg, Lord naming as co-respon-
dent Harry Cameron, the Negro
coachman. The fact Of the Lords
having disagreed was sufficient in it.
self to excite society in Fairfield
county, but the allegations made in
regard to the conduct Of Mrs. Lord
and the coachman have proved de-
cided shock. -. ..--
The papers in the suit have been
fled, and Mr.. Lord asks for the Gus
tody. Of their one child, Dorothy, six
years of age, making the usual alleg-
alton that under the circumstances
Mrs. Lord is not the proper person
to have charge Of the little girl. Mrs.
Lords side Of the case has not yet
been set forth, but her host Of
friends say they are confident that
when it is heard, or she has an pp-
portunity in court, she will disprove
the allegations made by her husband. .
Mrs. Lord, who Is 28 years Of age,
Is one Of the really beautiful women
Of Fairfield county. She is an accom-
plished horsewoman and exhibited in
the last show Of the Fairfield Coun-
try Clubs where. her handling Of her
horses was greatly admired.

There is no mention as TO what

case is tall, good looking Negro.
He. is OF athletic build and consider

year he has driven Mrs. Lord and
her young daughter great deal, but
there has not been the breath of sus-
picion except that uttered by Mr..
Lord. The attorneys in the case have
been reticent in regard to the de-
tails, but both sides promises sensa-
tlonal revelations when the case is

Washingto NoX 6.-John Uri
Lloyd, of Cinnoiahti, author Of

the Raleigh last Mght. Mr.. Lloyd
came TO washington with Cherif
FPachi and A.. f;1Etanassy = 4Esqty s.T urks
whom he. vigftedsat Smyrna, Turkey,
several monfhs&ago. These two men
are now returning this visit, and
stopped in Washin gton to pay their
respects to the ambassador from
their own country to the United
States. 49,. .Eg... .
''The man, who goes into an
Oriental country said Mr.. Lloyd,
prepared TO compare everything
there by American standards will
surely find things which do not agree
with his ideas of life. But to one
who goes in the spirit of learning,
with a broad view of life. the idea
that these people are just as admir-
able or perhaps a little more worthy
Of praise than our own will surely
come.
There is no finer gentleman on
He Is educated usually far beyond an
American OF equal possibilities. He
possesses a deep knowledge Of his
own literature, as we'll as that Of
other countries. He lives in peace
and quiet, content with life and with
the customs Of his country. The as
sertion of superficial observers that
all Turks are opium fiends, drink
coffee to excess, smoke continuously,
and are immoral, are, I believe, en-
tdrely false. --
For six months I lived with a.
Turkish family. I found them ab-
stemious to a degree. Few of the
||Turks that ] saw, at least, INDUCED
in any stimulants. Alcohol is never
used by them, as the Koran forbids
that. Lesser stimulants are used
only In small amounts. Although
the Turks grow opium for sale, al
most none is consumed In Turkey"
The word "harem," Mr.. Lloyd
said, is entirely misunderstood by
most foreigners. Harem. he said,
means merely the family Of Turk,
and includes his wife and his chill
dren. The Koran, he said, allows q
man four wives, but few Of the Turks
exercise this privilege. The son Of
a Turk marries and comes to live
with his father Another son does
likewise. The whole family, under
this one roof, is then called harem.
The Turk, he declared, is content
with his life. He finds that in edu-
cation, in comfort, in. being entirely
q gentleman, man may live in
peace and may live to advantage.
Most of the Turks, he declared, are
proud of their nationality, but do
not, like many Americans, encroach
upon the poltenes Of men of other
nations by venturing upon odious
comparisons between things in Tur-
key and similar things in the coun-
try In which they happen to be.
Mr.. Lloyd said that the two Turks
who have come to Visit him are
lust two gentlemen" Concerning
Turkish customs, Mr.. Lloyd said that
one rule Of etiquette that seems par
ticularly strange to many people is
that all Turks remain with fez on
the head at all times. 10. doors or

OFFICERS HORSEMANSHIP
To Be Tested Annually in Even More
Severe Manner.

Washington, Dec. A revision of
Pres. RoOsevelt's order of last spring
providing for a test of efficiency In
horscmanship of officers above the rank
of captain is in preparation at var
department 1t is said that the provi-
siors are more severe than in the orig
inal order, with a view to the detail
ment of the highest degree of profici-
ency in iiorsemanship by army officers
and that it contemplates more active
participation in practice marches than
now obtains.
Reports that have reached the de-
partment of the recent rides taken by
officers of the various army posts show
lack of uniformity in the methods fol-
lowed and in the tests imposed. which
is sought to be remedied by the order
about TO be issued.
1t is understood that the tests here
after will be of annual occurrence.

Augusta already has quite contingent

The CLUB has been formed among the

the membership is small, but there IS
said to be healthy degree of interest
shown by quite number of the young

coming of the snow to make the sport
