William O'Brien, of North Salem,

The February session of the Wayne
terday in high school hall at 10
o'clock. The session was opened with
music by the orchestra of the Rich
mond high school, after which devo-
tional service was conducted by Rev.
Clarence Case, Of the South Eighth
street Friends church. The leading
feature of the morning was an address
by Dr. John NJ. Coulter on THE Mis-
sion of Science in Education" The
association is very fortunate in getting
DR.. Coulter to come to Richmond,
since his wide experience as teacher
in the schools of this state. the power
he has acquired through his scientific
investigation, and the fact that he is
a speaker who can easily express
what he knows, have combined to
make him of great value to the audi
ence, which on this occasion he adj
dressed. He has keen analytical
mind, unusually whetted by years OF
experience, and the employment of
these qualities in handling his sub
ject makes him easy to follow and
listened to with appreciation.
He regards science as it is today
only a late conner Formerly there
were clearly defined types, which had
to be taught because they were laid
down in the books, but now educa-
ton does not receive information about
science, it means coming in contact
with the material itself
In this new role of scientific thought
certain definite results have been OBJ
tanned. First. Science has revolu-
tionized our methods of education. The

New York, Feb, 16.-Speeding
electric trains on the Harlem divisI II
of the New York Central railroad
jumped the track tonight and scores
were killed and injured. Every car
in the train was filled with commuters
on their way to their homes after
a hard days work and all were laugh
ing and joking as the train sped
along. The crash came without
warning and in an instant the air was
filled with the crashing of wood and
metal and the shrieks of the injured
and dying, pinned down under thous
ands of pounds of debris, car trucks,
etc.
The crash was heard by citizen
who at once telephoned to the Tre-
mont Police station that something
terrible had happened. Without wait
ing to learn any details the sergeant
sent in a hurry call for all the am
balances in the upper part of the city
and notified police headquarters after
which he started for the scene with
all of the available men that could
Caring for the injured.
The work of getting the badly
injured out of tEae debris was at
once gone at Systematically and ev-
cry building in the neighborhood was
turned into a temporary hospital
while the dead, as fast as they were
taken out were tenderly laid on the
snow covered street to await the ar
rival of vehicles to take them to the
police station which by order of the
coroners was converted into a tenn
porary morgue.
The work of getting the victims
out was most difficult and dangerous
owing to the heavy charged electric
rails, the motive power being derived
from the third rail system and it was
not until the arrival of wecking
train from the Grand Genital station
that any progress could be made.
In the meantime police headquar-
ters had hustled every ambulance in
the city to the scene and had called
out every city surgeon and all doctors
that could be reached so there was
soon plenty of skilled aid at hand
to care for the injured. The firemen
of the district were also called on and
did yeoman service in getting out
the shattered and torn atoms of hu.
manity that but few hours before
had been men, women and children
Wrecked Train a New One.
The train that was wrecked was
one of the new ones, recently placed
in service to do away with the old
steam hauled trains. Following the
wreck in the Park Avenue tunnel
some years ago the State Railroad
commission ordered the New York
Central and New Haven railroads to
abolish all steam motive power and
substitute therefor electricity within
the city limits. The company has
been working on the change ever
since and the electric trains were put
into service less than a week ago
between Mount Vernon and the Grand
Central.
The train was known as the White
Plains Express and the scene or the

Emanuel Kivikao reached st. Joseph
today on the last stretch of a three
year-and-a-half jaunt around the
world on foot. He has six months in
which to reach San Francisco to win
$4,000 cash and a house and lot. He
says he will be at his destination at
least three months before the expira-

from the Golden Gate early in 1904. In
his pocket was $1.91 and the agree
ment with his employer that if he
walked around the world within four
years he was to win the reward mem
toned. The agreement permitted him
to ride on boat at any time, but he
was under no circumstances to set his
foot on train.

SEATTLE, Aug 5.-Rain which

The betting had been spirited and

though all received considerable NAV
trace G., the winner was held rather
cheaply at SKIES and Fights, and Fire
pall' on account of his top weight, was
not much fancied.

start, and clear into the stretch

field of seven. Fireball went to the
front Immediately, and at the three
elghths st. Francis went out in front

swung into the stretch Firebau had
again annexed the lead, St, Francis
having shot his bolt on the short

Estimate of Russ Halls
Boys

SEATTLE, Aug. 6.-Virgil Garvin
is still one of the great pitchers of the
country. Time was not so long ago
that he was king pin in the National
league, but his habits were uncertain
and he dropped back to the minors,
when he still had lot of good things
concealed UP that long right arm
Clark Griffith, himself one of the fox
lest pitchers the game ever produce
once said of Garvin, There is the only
pitcher ever saw that had too much"
In his prime Garvin had a curve ball
that broke over the plate with the
swiftness of a leaping trout, and he
mad a fadeaway ball as good, as
Matthewson's. Garvin is in great form
right now, as his two games against
the Cubs will show. He shut them
out Tuesday, allowing but three hits
and he would have shut them out with
two hits yesterday but for his own wild
throw to first to catch a runner nap
ping. The long fellow will try to ease
the harpoon into Seattle again this
afternoon. and if he gets going like
ne was yesterday, he will do it, too,
FOR the Cubs were absolutely helpless
before him. AS Frank Allen, will pitch
for the Cubs, the fans are assured of a
run for their money, for the Ianky Mis-
sourian always gives a good account |
