COLLISION OPENS
PRISONERS VAN

Negligent car operation, of the kind
winch has fattened the harvest of
death and injury reaped by the United
Railroads during the last few months,
was responsible for an accident which
seriously injured three men and al
most resulted in the escape from Gus
tody of half dozen dangerous crimi-
nails al the corner of Castro and Chen
cry streets yesterday morning Car
1143 of the Ocean View line was backed
deliberately down the steep grade at
the corner into a Sheriff's van filed
with prisoners. demolishing the rear
of the vehicle, setting the occupants at
liberty and infiicting injuries which
necessitated taking three of those who
were riding in the van to the hospital
The collision occurred at 8 o'clock
yesterday morning as the van was
being driven from the County Jail on
the San Mateo road to the city with
the criminals due to appear in the
various departments of the Superior
Court. Among those in the wagon
were several desperate characters and
the wrecking of the wagon afforded an
opportunity which many of them were
ready to seize The seven men in the
wagon were Alexander Hagen. held for
robbery; J. Curran, charged with grand
larceny; William Johnson, under con-
viction of assault with intent to COM
NIT murder; Nickola Basta, under con-
viction for manslaughter; I. Katzure
under conviction of murder; John Rey-
nolds, charged with grand larceny and
Peter Olsen, charged with grand lar
ceny.
The streetcar was outward bound
and had just passed the van on it's way
up the hill. The latter vehicle was
standing near the track and had been
stopped to give the horses a short rest.
In attempting to make the turn into
Chenery street the car missed the frog
and the conductor, who was at the
front of the car. gave the signal to
back, without looking to see that the
track was clear. The car was reversed
at full speed and crashed into the rear
of the van just as Mason, who saw his
danger. jumped from the rear step and
avoided being crushed The impact
threw the van to one side and stopped
the car. for fraction of a minute.
Then it crashed back again. striking

The ReEar d of Old Age lyon Youth.

From time to time old Williams
rSurg has either followed suit or
trumped, and at no time in her glo-
rious and superb past has she waver-
ed in the forward march leading to-
wards the goal. Her valiant sons
have ever been true and legal clti-
zens, and through the long years of
God they have manfully borne the
Ship of State, erecting here pillar
and there post, until today they
are numbered among the foremost
ranks of men. Sure the life and
work of these staunch sons of State
should be a stimulus to us who are
just entering upon life's tempestu-
GUS sea. These who know the his
tory of our grand republic best 60
forward into the area of political
strife strongest, and those who nur-
ture the fondest hopes and aspira-
tions of our country's ideals shall
be instrumental in forming her fu-
tire.
1t IS very becoming that the young
men of today assume some duty up
on themselves, for the burden of our
present craftsmen IS being slowly
but surely transferred upon us and
into our keeping. This is the re-
ward of old age upon youth. and
lest we as young men lay sure and
firm foundation the winds and floods
of life's stormy years will bear us
down.
There is time enough yet. The
wear is just emerging from its hlber-
nal CLINE, and as spring clothes her
self with robes of green landscapes
and rainbow sunsets, so you, Young
man, must think of and prepare for
YOUR next years schooling ere it Is

when an employer asks a young man,
"what he can do" but instead,
"what he knows Therefore, if We

MOUNT PELATTO.
How the Dazzling Peak Of Pumiee
Stone Is Mined.

Coming from Stromboli, as We
approach Liparia we see a noun
tain so dazzling white that the eyes
cannot rest upon it-Slount Pelat
to, the mountain of pun-ce stone.
1t stands out against background
of dark volcanic mass under an in
tense blue sky. Below it lies the
beautiful emerald green Eolian sea.
The pumice mines are worked
with as little expense as possible.
Thcn are no galleries, no stays or
pillars. There is no woodwork of
any kind. The men who mine the
stone are paid in proportion to the
quality of the stone mined. There
fore their only care is to produce
fine, light stone. When man finds
a vein of. fine stone he follows the
lead whether it is safe or not. If
the roof caves in, so much the worse
for him. The work is dangerous,
but it pays relatively well. The
stone is carried on the backs of the
women and children of the miners
to the workshops of Canueto. As
soon as it reaches the shops it is
sorted and put together according
to quality. The lighter, finer stone
is called "foam." The second choice
is known as "frst white" and the
third choice as "second white" etc.
The pieces are packed just as
they come from the mine, except
ing one very careful treatment-all
the sharp edges are filed down, be-
cause they cause breakage, and
breakage lowers the mercantile
value of the stone. The files used
are very large, and the filing is done
by women. AS soon as piece is
filed it is wrapped separately in pa
per and then placed in the tun to
be shipped. Pieces of inferior qual-
ity are not wrapped in paper. They
are placed in the tuns in fine shay
ings. 1t is claimed that the filing
is healthful work, but this is hard
to believe. II the room where the
women WELD The files the air is
dense, powuery white. The fine
pumice dust lsilicate of alumina) is
he'd in the ar, ard in such an at
mosphere ever act of respiration
must load the mucous Innings of all
the air passage. The women who
file the s;one breathe the air from
morning till night. Even a very
brief inhalation causes an exceed
ingly disasrceable sensation of des-
location. SO it is presumable that
the industry is less harmful to the
exploitcrs of the mines than to the
women who pass their lives inhaling
silicate of alamina. 1t has been
said that the work brings in "rela-
lively good pay" The expert filer's
pay is Is cents a day, but to earn
that much a woman must work very
fast. The pay is relatively good"

try-scarce and i'll paid. - Ex-

WITCHCRAFT In DARLINGTON.

buckets, fruit jars etc. danced
and pranced about in a manner
as if possessed with life. A Wa
ter bucket half filed with water
Jumped from its shelf in the
room and emptied its contents.
1t was picked up and replaced
when it jumped again. A bottle
of White Pine cough syrup leap
ed from the table a distance OF
10 or IL feet and struck the
chimney and broke; glass ware,
fruit jars and bottles and deml'
Johns cut peculiar antics, tell
about in profusion and were bro
ken. One empty jar fell to
pieces without moving from its
place. The people in the house
carried the bottles, one contain
ing turpentine, out OF doors and
these vials returned mysteri-
ously to the room and fell upon
the floor. A mirror about 10 in
cbes long sitting on the table
bounded from the table about II
feet to the middle of the floor
and was smashed to smither-
eens. Mr.. Odom is dumbfound'
ed over the phenomena. A num-
Der of the people in the neigh

mystified. The whole commu-
nifty became interested and some

There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and fue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called fue cured. In fue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
flues in houses especially built to re-
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process DEVELOPS in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
juicy flue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
Schnapps and other Reynolds brands
of high grade, fue CURED tobaccos.

FLUE CURING IMPROVES TOBACCO LIKE
ROASTING IMPROVES GREEN COFFEE
Flue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
Found In schnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps; the
outside of the imitation plugs of to-
bacco is fue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, flimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this flue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. If the
kind of tobacco you are chewing don't
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
expectorating, stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chew
ers formerly bought costing from 75c.
to $1.ooper pound; Schnapps is sold
at soc. per pound in SC. cuts, strictly
10 and IS cent plugs.

Sacramento Company Sends a
Shipment That Has Been
Long Delayed.

After being delayed for several
weeks in preparing the shipment for
the Eastern market, the Sacramento
Mining company on Friday sent on its
way to Philad elphia a car of quick
silver. This consignment of the slip
perry metal has been In readiness at
the mine for some time, but owing
TO the difficulty experienced by the
company in securing TASKS. 1t was i'm
possible sooner to send this precious
freight TO it's destination. The car held
in round numbers 500 TASKS, each
weighing about seventy-fve pounds,
and each flask will bring something
like $40
The Sacramento company is about
the only property in the State of Utah
that produces quicksilver. The man
agement is q very conservative one,
and little ever is given to the gen,
eral public regarding the affairs Of the
company or the developments in its
interesting possessions. The present
shipment, however. would tend to
establish the fact that the management
is meeting with good results In search
ing the property for its metal, and that
in the process of wringing gold ores
from the same group the company is
meeting with success also. The Sac
ramento is one of the old dividend
payers of Utah. and there arc several
years of usefulness yet ahead of the
