Edgemont. We're killed when struck by
a freight train. A pathetic feature Of
n double tragedy is that Mrs. Wilson
ABOUT TWO months ago was deserted by

The further fact that she was about to

The OrOner s jury is investigating
the accident. Those who have unoffi-
cially investigated the sad affair say
that not the slightest blame attaches to
n engineer, who did everything pos
sfble to stop his train and avert a col
lision when he discovered that women
were riding on the handcar instead of
section men, who are accustomed to
remove their handcars from the track
to permit the passage of trains.
Both of the unfortunate women re-
sided at Marietta. Desiring to make a
trip to Edgemont they took one Of the
~handcars which was used by the nus

OF the handcar. The blow crushed her

before she struck the ground.
Mrs. Bittrick was overcome with

passed over her. cutting off both legs

A Wicked Performance.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
There was never IL more needless OF
inexcusable thing than this investl-
cation by Senate committee, insti-
gated and forwarded by Senator
Foraker, Of tie shooting up oil
Brownsville, Texas, on the night OF
the 18th Of August last. 1t was shot
up either by the negro soldiers in the
garrison there or by the citizens OF
the town, and that it was done by
the latter, as is alleged, with IL view
to taxing the negro soldiers with the
responsibility aud through this find
ing a way to get rid Of them, is I'M
imaginable. The idea that the peO-
pie would terrorize and menace the
lives of their fellow-citizens, shooting
into their houses and actually killing
a boy, is without q shred OF credible
evidence to give it support, while
there is abundant evidence, direct
and circumstantial, to convict the
negroes. Three white witnesses gave
direct testimony of this character
before the Senate committee We'd
nesday.
The investigation is q wicked one,
prompted by Senator FOraker's
hatred of the President and underta-
ken in an effort on his part to make
favor with the negro vote OF the
country, especially that of Ohio, in
behalf of his recent half-baked can
didacy for the Republican nOmina-
ton for the presidency. 1t is out
rageous that for such personal reas-
ons OF revenge and ambition one
man should be permitted to subject
the government to the great expense
involved in an investigation for
which there is no justification, an in
vestigatiOn, moreover, concerning
needlessly the convenience of Il con
gressiOnal committee during u sum
mer recess and one intended to put
Il stigma upon whole cummunity.

Somewhat Complicated Family.

There was a double wedding in
South Dakota the other day. A
widower of sixty years of age married
a girl of twenty. The widower's son,
aged thirty eight, married the moth
er of his fathers bride, aged forty
four. An exchange says here is a
man whose daughter-in-law is his
mother-in-law and one whose son is
his father-in-law. Those are slight
complications compared to what
they will be when children are born
to the two couples. Can any one
figure what will be the relationship
of these two sets of children?

The Reward OF Genius.

Petersburg Index-4ppeaL
This suggests many similar cases.
| Our contemporary, when reminded,
will recall that Mark Twain, in
"Roughing It," quoted the mother
of Burns as saying, when a monu
| ment to him was erected, "Aye,
Robin. We asked them for bread, an
they haze gi'en We a stane.'' ''The
Vicar of Wakefield" a classic, a book
that will live forever, brought it's
author sixty pounds, enough to save
him from the debtors prison; and
| the price would not have been so
large had not the sale of the manu-
script been negotiated by Mr.. John
son, the most influential man of let
tiers of his time. Instances could be
multiplied. That old Fleet Street
prison has lodged many a literary
genius. Wadsworth said that for
years and years he did not make
enough out of his poetry to keep
himself in shoe strings. Kipling gets
for u lyric poem more than Milton
got for paradise Lost"
And that suggests the marvellous
| rise in the immediate market value
of literature. The first man to en-
rich himself with his pen was Walter
Scott. Byron, who came next and
who overshadowed Scott as liOn,a
first spurned the offer of pay for his
poetry, holding the production of
literature to be rather an land a
passion than a trade; but long before
the end of his career he changed this
notion and drove stubborn bargains
with his publisher. Nowadays the
making of literature has come to be
business, greatly remunerative. 1t
has been said hat the death of the
late du Maurier was caused by worry
over the sudden fortune that "Trilby"
brought him. Tennyson was paid a
thousand dollars for little poem
contributed to the Youths Com
panion. Kipling is paid twenty-five
cents a word for his prose and doubt
less much more for his poetry. (These
statements are made, Of course, on
information and belief. While the
illustriOus OF the craft are so extrav
agantly paid, the rank and file of
literary workers do not suffer; the
numerous magazines are generous
to their contributors. In view of all
OF which, it need not be said in our
time "Poets take in the beauties of
nature; their wives take in washing"
Ii Poe were living now he would have
a good time.

NO TARIFF TALK
COMING WINTER
Payne Says Republicans viii
Defer Discussion Until Aft
er Next Election.

Washington, d. c.. August.-That there
is an agreement among Republican poll
ticians to keep all tariff revision in the
background prior to the next election was
the information conveyed here today by
Representative Serene z. Payne chair
man of the house committee on ways and
means, Republican floor leader of the
house and one of the leading tariff ex-
perts among the Republican members of
the house committee on rules.
Mr.. Payne was surprised at the mention
of such a thing as tariff. In fact, he had
to pucker up his brows for few minutes
before he could recall the word. When
he did he brushed it aside with his No. II
smile
Il do not think there is going to be any
tariff talk until after the presidential
election, he said. 'In my opinion there
is, by general consent, among the Re
publicans an agreement that il will not
be wise to agitate revision of the tariff on
the eve of presidential election"
'Will there be revision after the presi-
Dental electiOn?' he was asked.
L think that the Republican national
convention will decide that question" he
said. Il have great confidence in a Re
publican convention and in a Republican
congress. j am willing to abide by the
decision of the Republican party upon any
question relating to party politics"
Mr.. Payne was not peSsimiStic about
the financial outlook. He said New York
is prosperous, with factories running full
time, and a scarcity of labor.

ITO'S PLAN FOR
LITTLE KOREA
Loans Will Be FIoated as Soon
as Possible, With Guar
antee of Japan.

Toxic, Aug. 2S.-An important state
council which was to have been held
tomorrow has been postponed until
Friday, owing to the fact that some of
the ministers and elder statesmen from
out of town have been detained on ac-
count of the recent flood and conse-
quent damage to the railways. The
council has been specially called to
consider Marquis Ito's plans and Ko-
rean policy, necessitated by the new
relations established by the last con-
ventiOn between Korea and Japan.
The details of Marquis 1tO's plans
are unknown, but the fundamental
points are believed to consist in effect
ing thorough reform in the land sys-
tenn which is now in a chaotic condi-
ton, and also the establishment of a
new system of judiciary and police on
the Japanese plan. These measures
will naturally be considerable of Il
drain on the japanese treasury. 1t is
thought that Marquis Ito plans to ask
an extra annual outlay of a little over
100000 yen for a period of five years
Those well informed are confident that
with a reform effected in he land sys-
tenn Korea's revenues will increase re-
markably without in the least incon-
veniencing the present taxpayers in the
next five years.
With Korea's finadcial independence
assured, it is more than likely that
loans will be flOated with Japans guar
antee. Marquis Ito by his usual tact
has now apparently won over the pow
erful politicians to his side and conse-
Quently no opposition Will be raised at
Fridays council meeting. 1t is also
expected that his plans will pass the
next diet without much opposition.

In rejecting the agreement entered into

must come from the miners and come
quick. The last proposition submitted to
the miners by the Consolidated is abso-
lutely final. he said today, and he was
very much in earnest. Unless the miners
recede from their position it is probable
that every mine in the district will be
drawn into the controversy and while ii
is still the general belief that the differ
ences will be adjusted there Is danger of
another tie-up of all the mines in the dis
trict.
