.COLLIDED IN TUNNEL
Trains Crashed Together al Capt.
t0I Hill, IN Washington.
WRECK INJURED MANY PERSONS
The Switch In the Tunnel Was
Changed, and Southbound Train
Ran Into Northbound Express
How Accident Happened.

Twenty-Five persons were injured
in head-on collision between two
passenger trains of the Southern rail-
way which occurred at $40 O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon at the southern en-
trance of the new Capitol Hill tunnel
which leads to the union railway ter
minal In Washington.
Train No. 215 bound for Charlottes-
vile, plunged headlong into the en-
CINE of train 210. which was due about
that time from Danville. They coll
lided about so feet from the southern
mouth of the tunnel. The former
train was just emerging from the tun-
mel on the northbound track when it
should have been on the southbound
track.
The accident was due to the fact
that switch near the northern end of
the tunnel was opened when 1t should
have been closed. This circumstance
shifted the southbound train to the
northbound track, upon which the
train going south proceeded all the way
through the tunnel without discover
ing the mistake that had been made

How the switch came to be changed
is mystery. The railway officials de-
clare most positively that it should
have been closed They made public
q general order issued only few days
ago to all employees directing that the
switch in question should be set and
secured and not opened under any
circumstances The railway officials
said that since the switch was not in
operation and therefore had no switch
man stationed to guard it, they do
not yet know how it could have been
changed.
They say it could not have been

AFTER PAPER TRUST
Gigantic Monopoly Will Receive At

CONDITIONS ALMOST INToLERABLE

bine to Dictate Prices
Prices Are Advancing.
Perhaps one OF the most rapacious
and odious trusts In the country, and
least deserving of liberation, IL the
paper trust. 1t places a burden upon
the printing industry which is moth
ing but a tax on learning In all its
stages, upon the sources OF knowledge
of the masses and the pleasures Of In
tellectual enjoyment 1t Is tax on
mind, an impost on the soul, and
threatens to shackle the higher nature.
The scheme has been elaborated with
devilish cunning and farsighted
finesse by some Of the keenest and
most selfish men in the land. This
trust, in epitome, is the best illuatra-
ton OF the overwhelming power of
giant monopoly Of daily and hourly
necessity. The monopolies Of Queen
Elizabeth to favorites who beguiled
her leisure and caught her variant
fancy, were not more rigid and COM
prehensive nor more inexorably en-
forced The imperial edict OF that
atuocratic lady no more firmly en-
chained her subjects than does tho
harsh ukase Of the paper trust control
the supply Of that material to SO,d00,-
900 Of people who masquerade as free
and self-governing
OF course the tap root of the evil
sucks its sustenance from the tariff.
The plots OF the cormorants begun to
be spun IL years ago in a proposition
to unite the paper mills In pool. This
of course, would have been futile In
the face Of foreign competition. Con-
gress was therefore, successfully Inn
portuned to place duty OF $6 a ton
on new print paper, and the founda-
ton, sure and four square, was thus
laid for the stupendous superstruc-
ture Of imposition. The next move is
to exhaust the surplus stock and
create paper famine, and thence 1t
is an easy step to raise In prices. Now
1t is proposed to advance the charge
$12 ton for the current year, and
an additional advance next year OF
$40. Conservative estimates place
these increases, in the aggregate, at
the enormous robbery of $10,00o,000
for the present, and $19,O00,00o for the
coming year. The American Newspa-
per Publishers association, In pre-
senting its grievances to President
Roosevelt and urging relief both from
the department Of justice and from
congress, says:
1.-THE excuse for these advances on
the part of the paper-makers Is that
the cost Of wood and labor have in
creased"
This excuse was met in the argl-
ment to the president by the state
ment that the published report Of the
largest manufacturer Of news print
paper gives the increased cost OF ma
terial and manufacture. including ex-
spense of administration and sales, at
about 81 cents per ton. That is what
we call geometrical ratio run to seed,
and. incidentally, run mad. An In
crease of total cost Of Ga cents and
an enhancement of price Of twelve
dollars! 1t is gracious boon that
the merciless pirates grant the news

How a Dog Keeps Cool

Professor E. l.. Trouessart of the Paris Museum of Natural History in a recent lecture on animal heat, remarked that the dog, whose respirations in re- pose number only twenty five or thirty a minute, may in running acquire a rate of respiration as high as $50 min ute. The effect of this acceleration favors the dissipation of animal heat
 by evaporation from the pulmonary vesicles. The dog perspires very little, or not at all, by the skin, pulmonary taking the place of cutaneous trans piration. It is this fact which enables the dog to pursue its game so long and Animals of the eat family on the other hand do not possess this peculiarity, and for that reason tigers, partners and lions lie in wait for their prey, but do not pursue it over long distances. The bird possesses pulmon ary transportation in very high degree. s Companion.

Sweets and the Disposition

Nothing could be said in greater praise of a people than that they like sweets. It shows wholesome, vigor- ous, healthful condition--an appetite not iaded from excessive indulgence. The child whose appetite has not be- come polluted or calloused by false rel ishes, smarting sauces and burning drinks loves sweets; so does the girl of bright eyes and untainted youth, as is evidenced by her fondncss for ice cream and desserts. The young athlete among men loves sweets nearly as well as does the child. But the bar room rounder, the "cigaretta fend, the "dope fiend" and the depraved of all other classes do not like sweets. Long ago their minds and appotites lost the de- sire for everything pleasing to the nat ural palate.-What to Eat.

CARNIVAL WEEK CLOSES

Bessemer, November 23.-(Special.) J. Business in this city has been very good throughout the entire day. notwithstand- ing the fact that there is a certain feel ing of unrest prevailing all over the entire city and the immediate district, regarding the rumors that are going the rounds about the closing down of the many in dustries that give employment to a great number of people There is no use trying to conceal the fact that the merchants in this city are pretty blue over the pros- poets, still they are trying their best to do business and keep a stiff upper lip
 There have been good many visitors in the city today, and trading has been very fair along all lines. Many visitors were brought here by the fact that this is the last night that tic Robinson show will be in the city, and several of the merchants state that on this account their sales for the day have been consid
 erably increased. The new issue of checks which the bahKs are putting in the market have gone a long way to- ward keeping up the confidence of the people, and most every one seems to be well pleased with the new order of things.

Origin of Ballot"

From the Kansas City Journal.
 Ballot as generally used, has wan- dered far from its original meaning of little ball." Even "blackmailing" Is no longer necessarily literal. Language has several fossil relics of primitive methods of voting. Most famous is ''ostracism." :" which perpetuates the memory of the "ostrakon,' the potsherd or shell upon which the Athenian citizen voted for the punishment of a too prominent person. age. Another instance Is ''spondulicks," the slang word for money. "spondulos." properly vertebra of the spine, came to mean any round thing, and in particu- lar the voting pebble or its metal equiva- lent.

 It seems that Emerson Hough responds to certain queries for reasons why for his new novel, "The Way of Man in a characteristic manner by saying, "as to the the philosophy of this book, don't know that 1t has any be- yond my personal fondness for early western history. and my resentment at what call wild west faking.

 REALN OF BOOKS
.0.sGs.o-.0.G.0.G.<
BY PAUL PRY.

Emerson Hough will be pleasantly re- membered as the author of "The Missls- sippi Bubble," very successful and popular story.
 The scene of the new story, "The Way of a Man is laid in the west, mostly during the time of the great westward movement previous to the Civil war. The first half of the story is indeed master piece. The characters are strongly drawn and the spirit of the time is wonderfully portrayed. The situations are full of power and human interest and the rela- ton of them ringing and true, John Cowles and Gordon Time are well matched and the readers quick sympa- thy and interest Is nicely divided be- tween the two.
 When Jack Cowles and his ladylove are lost in the wilds of the forest and spent weeks living by their wits as primitive man was wont to do it, seems a queer episode for modern day fiction, but not altogether unenjoyable one. It is indeed something of Gall of the wild" which is only compatible with the authors eX pressed love of the forest. However the ending of his story, with it's ignominious and really inexcusable blot is scarcely reconcilable to the sweetness, vgor, and freshness of the early pages of the story. A good story, yes--but let us have purity above all else
 American Birds" by William Lowell Finley, published by Charles Scribner' s Sons. This volume, all about American Birds,' is most valuable and suggestive one to the reader especially 'who is in terested in the subject. It is splendidly illustrated by photographs secured and studies from life. And in the preface the author says: "The naturalist who uses the camera in the field often has the ad- vantage of backing his observations with proof, and if he produces good authentic photographs, one may be quite sure they were not secured without patient waiting and a careful study of his subjects
 The book treats of a series of repre- sentative birds from the humming bird to the eagle. The author is from Port land, Ore, and many of the studies, he says, were made in the vest but in the list of birds treated an effort has been made to have 1t national in scope.
