Lungs That Are starued

It is a fact that most of us are vic tins of our own lazy respiration and deprive ourselves of oxygen that is so necessary if We would keep our bodies at their highest point of efficiency.
 Oxygen is absolutely necessary to the existence of animal life. Man gets oxy gen from air breathed into his lungs
 Besides introducing oxygen into the blood, the lnngs act as excretory organs, removing undesirable clements from the system at each expiration.
 In ordinary or unconscious breathing, only ten to thirteen per cent of the air in the lungs is changed at each breath. This leaves a capacity of eighty to ninety per cent Of the lung capacity filled with stale air.
 Forced or conscious breathing of pure air ventilates the lungs, driving out the eighty to ninety per cent of the station ary or stale air.
 All bedroom windows and doors should be wide open during sleep, thus connecting the lungs directly with pure air of the outside world.-Delineator

Heroes of the Chinese Famine

The kind of courage worth while is that which will face danger and even death in behalf of others without the hope of fee or reward. Four notable examples occurred during the late fam inc in China. Drs. Williams and Lynch, of the China Inland mission and the customs service respectively, and the Revs. Wallace $. Paris of Shantung and J. R.'Jones of Ranking, all volunteered to go into the famine-stricken district and distribute food and medicine, with a full knowledge of the dangers of the fatal famine fever. All fell victims to che deadly disease. It is almost a commonplace to say that their courage vas far superior to that of the soldier who falls in some deadly cavalry Weekly.

 EIG.lT LIVES Workmen Killed in Train
 Wreck. RUNS INTO THE REAR-END Engineer Jumped and Escaped All
 Injury. Thirty-One Victims Of Accident Are In Hospital At Hartford, Conn.,,
 and Two of Them May

Hartford, Conn, June 23-Eight workmen were killed and thirty five injured when passenger train on the Highland division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad crashed into the rear of wor,- train that was going into the city. Of the injured two probably will die.
 What caused the wreck Is not defi- nitely known. Engineer Wilson of the passenger train, jumped in time to es- cape injury. The passengers. however, were badly shaken up and some were cut by flying glass.
 Half dozen priests administered the last rites to some of the sufferers
 Soon after the wreck one man under several tons of debris was seen way ing a reg flag Some one reached him with a bottle of whiskey and gave him draught. He remarked, The first drink in twelve years and God knows I need it." |.
 At St. Francis Hospital there are thirty-one victims tonight. The doc tors say that two of them cannot live. At the Hartford Hospital there are four injured, none fatally.
 When the train left New Britain there were fortyfive workmen aboard. Some of these got off at various sta tions.
 Before the rescue was complete, dark ness set in and torches were procured and the men continued to labor for the remaining dead.

DID MURDER
 IN HIS SLEEP Italian Immigrant Tells Unusual Story. USED A PISTOL ON A TRAIN John Pa1lo Declares He Had a
 Terrible Dream. Man Who Killed Carl Topp and Wound ed Women Declares He Was
 Awakened Fly Report of
 the Weapon.

Goodland. Kansas. June 23.-John Ballo, the Italian who killed a man and wounded two women passengers on a Rock Island train east of here last night, told through an interpreter today of the shooting. Ballo asserted that he committed the murder in his sleep as he result of a dream. His story follows:
 My wife and children and Patsy Leganbradi and his wife and children lived in Genoa. We decide to come to the new world and grow rich as we heard 1t was easy to do. We landed in Boston few days ago and took a train for the west.
 We were in a strange land among people whose language we could not understand. had been nervous from the time I left home. Last night l went to sleep in my seat and had a terrible dream. dreamed that a man with a white handkerchief over his face had me by the throat and was trying to rob me.
 T fought with all my strength. Fin ally I managed to throw my assailant off The robber turned to run. I had a revolver in my pocket and I seized it and began to shoot.
 All of this was in my sleep. The report of the weapon awakened me and I found myself on my feet with the pistol in my hands shooting right and left. God knows I did not mean to kill any one. It was all a terrible dream"
 Carl V. Topp, the tailor who was killed by the Italian, was almost asleep in his seat with white handkerchief
 Ballo is in the county jail here. He sits rocking to and fro with his face in his hands muttering in Italian.

TO CLIP THEIR WINGS
WOULD TAKE AWAY POWER OF
 ENGLISH LORDS.
Campbell Zimmerman wilI Begin Today One Of The Greatest Political Contests In The History Of
 Great Britain.

London, June 23-The consideration of the resolution which Premier Camp bell Zimmerman will move in the House of Commons tomorrow for the clipping of the wings of the House of Lords be- gins what will likely develop one of the greatest political questions in the his- tory of Great Britain.
 The nremier calls the resolutions 'sThe preface of the volume" It Is as follows:
 That in order to give effect to the will of the people as expressed by their elected representatives, it is necessary that the power of the other house to alter or reject bills passed by this house should be so restricted by law as to secure that within the limits Of a single parliament final decision of the House of Commons shall prevail"
 The government proposes only to ad- opt this resolution this session. It had expected to carry the Irish coun- cils bills in the Commons and have the Lords reject it, when 1t would have been provided with specific grievance, which would have paved the way for a bill carrying into effect the of the power of the house of lords.
 It is foreseen. however, that the Lords probably will veto some popular measures next session. Then the gov ernment will try to arouse public optn- ion to support its program so strong ly that the House of Lords will be forced to accept some measure of re- form. It is improbable that this re- suit will be reached without another campaign and perhaps more than one. but the liberals confidently count upon ultimately obtaining a mandate from the voters so iron clad that the House of Lords cannot resist 1t.

JAPANESE JINGOES
 STILL TALK OF WAR
TOI<iO Politicians Are Using American Question For Their Own Ad-
 vantage.

Tokio, June 23.-Public excitement over the American question has almost passed away but the agitation Is still going on. It is mostly the work or politicians of the opposition who are employing the question as a weapon of attack upon the ministry.
 The progressives and a coterie or politicians called the Daido Club, will likely join hands in common attack on the ministry over the American question, their principal aim being to thereby strengthen their respective po- sitions in the coming election of local assemblies and also in the general election of next year. fhei1' principal watchword is the diplomatic impotency of the Sainoji cabinet which has result ed. they say, in suffering compatriots in America and inability to receive treatment with the subjects of first class power.
 It IS difficult to foretell how far they can succeed in stirring up public sem timent but whatever attempts are made in the way of agitation. actual hostilities with the United States are not even dreamed of.
 The war talk in some of the Ameri- can papers is totally ignored here.

DARROW TO SPEAK
HAYwoOD's DEFENSE TO BE OUT
 LINED TO-DAY.
Jury Will He Asked To Believe That Sole Purpose Of Prosecution Is to Wreck Miners Asso-
 citation.

Boise, Idaho, June 23.-W. D. Hay wood having already pleaded not guilty to the charge of murder and having heard the evidence the State of Idaho has presented before the jury in sup port of its charge, will tomorrow morn ing formally assert his entire innocence and outline the evidence he proposes to present in order that the presump- tion of innocence still resting in the mind of the jury may become a fixed judgment.
 Clarence Darrow, as attorney for Haywood. will say that his client Is not only not guilty of conspiracy to as- sassinate Frank Steunenberg, former Governor of Idaho, but that Haywood is in fact the victim of conspiracy to disrupt the Western Federation of Miners and under the guise of legal procedure condemn to death the chief officers of the federation of which Hay wood is the secretary and his co-defen- dant under the indictment, the presi- dent.
 MT. Darrow's statement to the jury is to outline the evidence he proposes to introduce and the position he hopes to be able to prove probably will take up most of the day. Court meets at 10 o'clock and takes recess at noon. MT. Darrow says that he expects his speech will occupy at least three hours and possibly more. It will be an ex- haustive presentation. He will assert that Haywood, by sheer force of char acter rose from the humble position of a miner, working for a days wages to become the secretary treasurer of a labor organization with upward of fifty thousand members. He will show that Haywood was elected to office by the members of the Western Federation of Miners, through successive terms of of- flee by his ability and his honesty. He will point out that the past character of the man has not been assailed but that a conspiracy has been charged.
 Mir. Darrow will not attempt to deny that many foul crimes have been com mitted. He will not deny that Steun- enberg was assassinated. but he will maintain that his client had nothing to do with this or any other murder and that the State has not connected Hay wood with any conspiracy. He will charge a conspiracy on the part of the mine owners association with a large membership and unlimited money be- hind it who, finding the Western Fed eration of Miners inimical to the mine owners, plotted to wreck the Western Federation and. by conspiracy with de- tectives and others. create such feeling against the federation that Governors of States and even the Federal govern ment would be willing to help the mine owners to drive the members of the federation from the land. It will be asserted that the Orchard is true only in that the crimes were commit ted.
 In his speech to the court on SatuF- day last MT. Darrow intimated that there was not even proof other than the statement of Orchard that Orchard committed the crimes he has enumer- ated.

COTTON CROP
 IS ADVANCING Plant Responding We'll
 to Conditions. FARMERS MORE HOPEFUL Two to Four Weeks Behind the
 Season. Weather Has Been Favorable and Plant Has Not Suffered For Lack of Moisture Takes On
 Good Color.

Memphis. Tenn. June 23.-The Com mercial-Appeal will tomorrow print the following:
 The cotton crop has made material advancement during the week. An important step forward has been made In cultivation and excepting a few scattering localities. the crop is clean and in excellent state of cultivation for the season. An exception to this is the state of Oklahoma where rains during the week kept labor from the fields.
 Correspondents note that the plant though still quite small. Is healthy and in condition to respond well to favor able future conditions should such oc- cur The crop Is still two to four week late. however, according to To- caiity and in many sections of the central and eastern cotton belt the poorest have not been remedied.
 The older planted cotton in the southern districts Is fruiting, blooms are reported from several of these sections and in other places the stalk is taking on bolls.
 Such rainfall as occurred with the exception of Oklahoma as noted above was highly beneficial. coming as 1t did, following thorough cultivation and mo- where has the cotton suffered yet from lack of moisture. Over the entire cen- tral and eastern belt however, the rains were local in character and light in quantity. Temperatures were high and the cotton is taking on the best color 1t has yet had. The Carolinas alone complain of rather eool nights and slightly less plant growth than would otherwise nave occurred.
 In Texas and Western Louisiana, bon weevil are reported. but they have as yet done little damage.
 Improves in Southwest.
 New Orleans, June 23.-The Picay- une tomorrow W.-4 say:
 Continued improvement of the cot~ ton crop throughout Louisiana and tha southern portion of Mississippi is in- dictated in reports to The Picayune for the week ending today,
 Weather conditions have been ideal for field work, but considerable grass remains to be destroyed. Tn some sections the soil is hard and cIoddy and the growth of the plant Is slow.
 Late cotton as a rule has been chop ped out and mounded. and gives bet ter indications thar the early plant ings. Much good bottong land remains idle because of inability to drain and plant in time.

show that the tie-up is complete. Los Angeles was fifteen hundred messages behind at midnight Saturday. From Portland comes the report that there Is blockade of business on the northern route.
 By Wednesday of this week the con- gestion of telegraph business between the Pacific and Atlantic coasts will be as bad as during the earthquake and fire period. Already reports are coming to us that telegrams are ping mailed in bundles to eastern points.
 At Denver. and Portland the mes sages are put on the wires if there is room for them. If not they are mail ed to the next repeating point nearest to their destination.
 We estimate that every one can take care of himself financially until July l. After that we will pay weekly strike benefits. Before leaving the East I arranged with general secre- tary treasurer Russell to send me a certified check for s1.000 each week. The local treasury is strong, therefore our boys and girls are not worrying about the financial end of the trouble.
 We have the best of the bargain so far. There were two assertions from the Western Union today at Oakland and others will follow.
 The telegraphers of this country have it within their power to either bring the telegraph companies to terms or force governmental owner ship of the telgraphs. We have de- cided to secure justice, first through conferences between employer and employe, and if that fails we will then start a movement in favor of govern ment ownership and at the same time have bills introduced in congress and state legislatures having in view the Improvement of the telegraph service Two of the most important measures we expect to further and work to have passed are:
 Giving to the interstate commerce commission the power to regulate tele- graph rates and another requiring that both the filing and receiving time be shown on all telegrams''
 At present the receiver of a tele- gram has no way of knowing how many hours a telegram has been en route.'

 Spain.

San Antonio. Tex. June 23.-A spec ial from Mexico City says:
 Minister Jose Dolores Gamez, of Nicaragua, according to instructions from his government. has entered a positive denial of the report that Nic- aragua had demanded of Honduras a part of her territory. A denial was also cabied to Washington.
 This rumor had gained very general circulation here in the last twenty four hours and promised, If true to further compiicate Central American affairs.
 Minister Gamez says that Nicaragua is entirely satisfied with the ruling made by the king of Spain at the time of the former boundary dispute and has no intention of making demands of any kind to Honduras.

FOR PUBLIC SAFETY
RAILWAY TRACKMEN ASK AID OF
 STATE OFFICIALS.
They Declare Government Inspects Nearly Everything But Tracks .1F Used By srruiRs and Appeal
 Fdr Some Control

Kansas City, June 23.-President Roosevelt and the governors of the several states have been asked to aid the National Union of Railway Track men in a campaign for greater safety in railway trvel.
 J. l.. Shepherd of Fort Scott, Kan sas. secretary of the organization yes- terday sent out a letter addressed to the president and several governors in which he says:
 If we can obtain the cooperation of all who should be interested. we will have a safe condition for railway travel in our country as prevails in Europe We certainly should have either gov ernment or state inspection of rail way tracks Some one should be held responsible to the people for keeping the tracks in proper repair and prop erly patrolled.
 Tt is a serious condition of affairs. but 1t is true. We have state inspec- tion of factories and mines. of beer. barbers, pharmacists and dentists; there is state control over the product of the busy bee and the farmer who raises wheat must pay state inspee- tion fee before he can market his grain. But there Is no law that is observed that provides for the inspec- ton of railroad tracks"
