GOT RID OF THE DEVILS.
Chinese Sailors Used Fireworks to
Eviet unwelcome Visitors.

New York.-A story or fight with
devils and their conquest by its crew
of AZ Cinnamon was brought to this
port by the steamship Enroll from
Hong-Kong
"Debbils allie gone down side one
time, chop, chop" said Wan Coon,
bos'n. in telling of the conflict.
The Enroll shipped her crew of Mon
golians in Hong-Kong and set out for
Yokohama. On the night of August 4
there suddenly came dazzling rain
of meteors, lasting 16 seconds. In the
meteoric display the moon entered up
on a total eclipse. Wan Coon and his
men were stricken motionless with
fear. But when they found their
moon had been devoured by big
devil fear was galvanized into frenzy.
Finally, in answer to their petitions,
the devil disgorged the moon. After
that the men were quiet, but mistrust-
full. There was not the slightest doubt
that great many minor devils re-
manned on board even after two nights
spent in chasing them with hand
spikes, capstan bars and chunks of
coal.
When the Enroll made Yokohama
every man went to the captain and
demanded all the pay due. At night
fall a delegation of sailors returned
with several great bundles Of fire.
works. -.
Wan Coon told the captain there
was going to be such pyrotechnical
eviction of devils as the ports of all
the seven seas had seldom witnessed.
1t was even SO. and at the conclusion
of the display the bos'n announced
that not devil was left.

not possible. don't marry at all. II
you do marry for love, and not for
money, your family must be small, in

These were some of the radical ut
terances Prof. Edward Everett Hale,
Jr, Of Union university. gave vent to
at the opening session of the annual
convention Of the Association of Col.
lege and Preparatory Schools, held at
the Boys high school, Broad and
Green streets.
Dealing sarcastically with the SUBJ
ject, Prof Edward Everett Hale said:
The present system of compulsory
plain living may produce race of
professors incapable of high thinking.
THE trustees of universities think
professors would grow lazy in such a
Utopia as college would be IL decent
salaries were paid. This is not the
case. They would have a chance to
take a greater interest in college life
and become more valuable IL they
were not compelled to skimp and save
and spend their time doing outside
work to earn living.
Marry rich wife," he said; her
means will provide you with the time.

and the social setting you need.
in the event of not being able to
do this, a brilliant solution is not to
marry at all, and If you take unto
yourself wife, it is certainly due to
all concerned to have as small fam
lily as possible"

KILL 20 600 A YEAR
FATALITIES AMONG AMERICAS IN.
DUSTRiAL ARMY is APPALLING.
Compulsory Data ls Wanted-Dr. Jo-
siah Strong Says $4,000 Are Now
Under Sentence Of Death Dur
ing Next Ten Years.

New York.-Important steps are
soon to be taken In this city and else
where to establish system of COM
pulsory and accurate records of the
enormous number of persons who are
annually killed and injured in Amer
ica's vast army of industrial workers.
In New York city alone the meager
records obtainable are startling. In
1904 there were 4,162 persons killed
in New York city through accident and
negligence as shown by the reports OF
.he department of health, and these
reports are said to be incomplete.
DR.. Josiah Strong, president of the
Institute of Social Service, in speaking
of the number of persons killed each
year in our Industrial occupations,
made some astonishing comparisons.
He said:
I'VE in the United States kill In
four years some 10000 persons-more
than fell in battle and died of wounds
during the four years of the civil
war. We are killing more than twice
as many every year as persisted by
violence In both the French and Eng
lish armies during the three years of
the Crimean war.
There are more killed and wound
ed on our railroads every year than
the entire losses of the Boer war on
both sides in three years. We have
industrial casualties enough every
year to keep one. conflict like our war
with Spain going for 1900 years or
IL such wars going for 100 years. Our
peaceful vacations cost more lives
every two days than were lost in bat
tie during the entire Spanish war.
From the best statistics obtain
able, I may say there are to-day $751;
600 persons In the United States un-
der sentence of death to be executed
at an unknown moment during the
next ten years., 100 next week and
the same number every week until
the CHASTITY work is complete. An in
telligent and earnest effort would pro-
cure the reprieve of multitude of
these innocent victims"
For two weeks beginning January
% an exposition will be held In the
American Museum of Natural History,
in this city under the auspices Of the
American Institute of Social Service
for the purpose OF studying and ex-
bibiting safety devices for dangerous
machinery, methods of industrial
hygiene and to set in motion the
movement to establish a more accur-
ate record of industrial fatalities and
accident in all parts Of the country.
At present Wisconsin is said to be the
only state In the union where any ef-
fort is made Of official compilation of
these statistics.
In Europe there are several perma-
nent museums of this character where
experts are constantly studying how
to safeguard industrial employees and
as result the percentage of death
and injury from accidents has been
greatly reduced. Ex-President Cleve-
land and many other prominent and
influential citizens are interested in
this movement.

They are safe because they contain

medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-

the purposes for which plaster is re-

go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and

Of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original

make sure and get the genuine.
