KILLED
CASSATT

NEW YORK, Jan. Ale died Of
broken heart. This is the out
spoken comment of friends of
Alexander j. Cassatt, president of
the Pennsylvania road. Another
cause is given by physicians. Cas-
salts intimates realize what the
real cause was.
The sensational disclosures made
during the investigation of the
Pennsylvania road by the interstate
commerce commission that officers
of the company had enjoyed big
profits from coal companies in ex-
change for favors Is held respon-
sible for Cassatt's death. He was
in Europe when these facts were
brought out. but he FASTENED home
to investigate for himself.
From the day he became con-
vinced the stories were true he was
a changed man. His health began
to fail. and his death was no great

ton, or the peaceful fulfillment Of
the ancient and just demands of the
whole people, showing other Chris
tians nations both that the injus-
tice from which men have suffered
so long and so cruelty can be abol-
ished, and how to abolish it.
Whether the form of social Or
ganiZation under which you hold
power has or has not outlived its
day, so long as you still hold power,
use it not to multiply the evil you
have already done, and the hatred
you have already provoked; but use
it to accomplish great and good
deed not for your nation alone, but
for all mankind. If this social or
ganization has outlived it's day, let
the last act be done under 1t be one
not of falsehood or cruelty, but of
goodness and truth.

The acknowledged basis of all
governmental power is solely the
promotion of the welfare of the peo-
pie over whom the power is ex-
erted.
But what are you-who now gov
ern Russia-doing? You are fight
ing the revolutionists with shifts
and cunning such as they employ
against you; and, worst of all, with
cruelty even greater than theirs.
But of two contending parties the
conqueror, always, is not the more
shifty, cunning, cruel or harsh of
the two, but the one that is nearest
to the aim, towards which humanity
is advancing.
Whether the revolutionists right
ly or wrongly define the aim to-
wards which they strive, they GER
tainly aim at some new arrange
ment of life; while your only desire
is to maintain yourselves in the
profitable position in which you are
established.
Therefore, you will be unable to
resist the revolution, with your
banner of autocracy, even though
it be with constitutional amend
ments. with perverted Christianity
called orthodoxy, renovated
patriarchate, and all sorts of mys-
teal interpretations.
All that is moribund and cannot
be restored. Your salvation lies
not in doumas, elected in this way
or in that; still less in rifle shots,
cannons and executions; but it lies
in confessing your sin against the
people and trying to redeem it and
efface it while you are still able to
do so. Set before the people ideals
of equity, goodness and truth, more
lofty and more Just than those your
opponents advocate. Place such an
ideal before the people, not to save
yourselves, but seriously and hon.
estly setting yourselves to accom-
plish it, and you will not only save
yourselves, but will save Russia

Here Is family of prize fighters
"as is prize fighters" and there is
no gainsaying that assertion.
1t is the Attell bunch-Abie,
Monte and Caesar-brothers
All the country knows about Abe,
the featherweight champion Of the
world, but not so much is known of
the other two boys outside of San
Francisco, the home of the Attell
family.
Abe has the stamp of greatness.
Monte is fair performer In his
class, which is a trifle heavier than
his illustrious brother. Caesar has
not yet developed anything that
would stamp him even as conner.
A little story from the maternal
side Of the Attell house will better
illustrate the position of the three
. boys in the prize ring.
Mrs. Attell was conversing with
u neighbor.
"And aren't you ever afraid, Mrs,
Attell, that your children will get
seriously hurt in the ring some
day." There was some Irish in
Mrs. Attell's neighbor.
we'll" replied Mrs. Attell, wen
Able fights | never worry one bit,
because Able can take care of him
self. Ven Monte goes into de ring
I'm not quite so certain, yet. be-
cause he isn't half so smart as
Able. But I'm worried every min
ute ven ! know dat Caesar Is going
to fight for fear dat he will get
killed"
Abe Attell has made a small
sized fortune in the ring and is
hanging onto every cent he lays
his hands on. Abe comes from a
frugal family Monte has installed
himself in fair cigar business.
Caesar is still doing stunts In the
