WALL FELL; THREE BURIED.
Rumble of Trains Causes Frisco
Pile to Topple.

San Francisco, Jan. IA wall of
masonry which fell shortly before
noon today killed one man, mangled
another so badly that he will die
and seriously injured third.
The accident occurred in the
ruins of the old California Can Com
panys building at Seventh and
Townsend streets. The laborers
were engaged in razing wall about
IL feet high and had undermined it
in the center preparatory to pulling
It down with ropes. While the men
we're working beneath the ruins a
Southern Pacific train Numbered by
and the slight shock caused the wall
to crash down without warning.
Bystanders began working franti-
cally to unearth the buried men and
succeeded in taking two out of the
pile alive. T. Uno, third man, was
caught by the avalanche of bricks
and was dead when the rescuers
reached his body.

DR.. Morrison, the well-known cor
respondent OF the London Times at
Pekin, went to see the recent mane~
vers Of the modernized Chinese army
IN the neighborhood Of Changtefu.
He describes them as repetition OF
the performance Of last year "a set
piece carefully prepared long before
hand by number of Japanese
advisers. The general opinion formed
by the military attaches was not, he
says, unfavorable, though many years
work without official jobbery will be
need ed before the troops can COM
pare with those of more advanced ma
tons. The inefficiency Of the officers
is still conspicuous, and the field
training of the men inadequate, but
the material is good. DR.. Morrison
hints pretty plainly that, without the
Japanese to direct affairs, the con-
tending armies would have been little
better than rabble.

A. J.CASSATT DEAD
President Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Died Suddenly at His
Home in Philadelphia.
WAS ENTIRELY UNEXPECTED
Sensational Development Regarding
the Operation Of the Property
Under His Control Is Said To
Have fastened His End.

Philadelphia, Dec. 20. = Alexan'
der Johnston Cassatt, President OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad company, and
one of the foremost railroad men and
financiers in the country, died sudden
" at his residence in this city Friday
of heart disease. He was victim OF
an attack known professionally as
"the Stokes-Adams Synbrome." Mr..
Cassatt was CT years old.
Though Mr.. Cassatts death was I'M
expected, he had been in i'll health
for nearly year. His condition was
aggravated by an attack of whopplng
cough which he contracted from his
grandchildren while at Bar Harbor in
September. He never entirely re-
covered from this attack, and when
he returned to Philadelphia he re
NAMED for several weeks at his coun-
try home in Haverford.
He was much improved by the rest
and early in October going regularly
to his office. Shortly afterward he
was again stricken, having contracted
a heavy cold. At that time 1t was
denied that his condition was serious
and there was no intimation that he
was suffering from any heart affec'
ton. During November he was sur
ficiently recovered to resume his work
and he continued attending to impor
tant matters until his birthday, De-
cember 8. Again it was reported that
he was seriously i'll, but this was de-
MED.
Mr.. Cassatt spent much Of his time
driving and he was out as late as
Monday. Subsequently he was known
to have been confined to bed, but
even then his condition was not re-
garded as alarming. While not feel
ing entirely well, Mr.. Cassatt arose
from his bed Friday morning but re-
NAMED in his room. He seemed in
good spirits and his family was not
alarmed about his condition and had
no thought of his death Shortly be-
fore 1 o'clock he suffered an acute
heart attack and became unconscious.
His wife and his daughter Mrs. W. H.
Lunkett Stewart, were with him and a
physician was summoned, but he was
dead when the physician arrived. The
latter said that death had been almost
instantaneous.
The operation of the railroad in the
last year is said to have had much to
do with the breaking of Mr.. Cassatts
health. He was in Europe when sen
sational developments in the inter
state commerce commission investi'
CATION of rebates brought him home.
Deprived of his rest abroad he plung.
ed into routine work until he went to
Bar Harbor.
Aside from being the head OF the
Pennsylvania railroad, Mr. Cassatt
was president of six other companies
and a director in % concerns, prin
cipally transportation companies
banks and trust companies. His
wealth is estimated at between $50,
100000 and s75,0O0,O0O.

Mans Span Of Life LensthenIns.

According to Sir Lauder Brunton,
writing in the Lancet, the average
length of life has rapidly become
greater. There has been a contin-
uous increase in the expectation OF
life from little under 40 years in
1854 to trifle less than As years in
1900" A gain of eight years in half
q century appears tremendous, but
the figures could be, OF course, more
significant still If we applied the COM
parison to two periods separated by
several centuries. Here is rather
intangible, but certainly important
element, that should enter into all our
attempts at formulating historical
perspectives. However unconscious
the average medieval man may have
been of what his worth as an insur-
ance risk was at any particular time,
his acts and thoughts must have been
profoundly Influenced by the fact that
he had on an average Is years less to
live than his successor of the nine
teenth Gentry, says New York Post.
The violence of primitive civilization
may be due to the instructive desire
for getting as MUCK satisfaction as
possible out of briei existence. Pos
sibly, we do not live longer in the
twentieth century because we fight
less; but we quarrel less because we
live longer. Leisure is necessary for
altruism. Just so people step on each
others toes and scowl during the
half-hour's expiation in the subway,
Sut are polite and form lasting friend
ships on the commuters train to and
from New Brunswick.

The baroness Burdett";outts who
was 92.years-old, was one Of the fore
most of English women. She was an

Queen Victoria and was one OK the
richest women in England. Her
wealth was used principally TO carry
on her work to improve the condition
of the poor and as phtlanthropist
her name was Worldwide The baron

Twenty-Five years ago the baroness
Burdett-C outts became the wife OF
William Ashmead Bartlett, then a
young man in the diplomatic service
and at present member OF parlla-
ment for Westminster. He was born
at Plymouth, Mass, and upon becom-

the surname of Burdett.Coutts.
The baroness Burdett-Coutts had a

The development Of Alaska Is con-

proof of this is furnished by the re-
port showing the operations Of the
government telegraph system in the
territory. Receipts during the last
few months have ranged from so to

the facilities are so inadequate that
additions are imperatively needed.
The system includes more than 5000

EnQIish Dukes Patriotism.

The British nobleman responds to
the demands of imperial patriotism
when they are called to his attention.
The duke of Westminster is the latest
of them to use his immense wealth
in assisting to make the distant pos
sessions of the empire British in fact
as well as in name. Two or three
years ago his interest In South Africa
was aroused by persons who thought
that more Englishmen ought to be at
tracted to that part of the world. The
duke bought 10000 acres of land in
the Orange River Colony, built Is
farmhouses and the necessary farm
buildings upon it, erected school
houses and other public buildings,
and sent out all the machinery and
tools needed to till the land and to
prepare the crops for consumption.
Eighteen families have been put in
the houses, and are now cultivating
the soil and attempting to- establish
a center of British influence and the
nucleus of large British settlement.
II the enterprise proves successful the
duke does not expect to net more
than two per cent. interest on his In
vestment. But when the Orange Riv-
er Colony is thickly settled the new
district Of Westminster-it is named
after the duke-will yield large re-
turns to future dukes.
