Court Officials Attending McComas Flu
 neral Are Badly Shaken Up.
 Washington, Nov. 13.-Vice President Fairbanks and a distinguished party of court officials of this city were in Q wreck on the Baltimore and Ohio rail. road at Weverton, Md. in which Fire. man Clarkson was severely injured and the passengers were badly shaken up. The vice president escaped injury as we'll as those who accompanied him in the private car of President Murray of the Baltimore and Ohio.
 The party were on a special train returning to Washington from Hagers- town, Md, where they had been to at tend the funeral of the late Judge Louis E. McComas of the court of ap- peals of the District of Columbia. Up- on leaving Weverton Junction the switchman let the special in on a blind switch, resulting in the engine being ditched. The sudden stop and the roar of escaping steam from bro. ken pipes under the private car threw the occupants into a panic, but quiet was soon restored, and it was found that, beyond severe shaking up, no- body was hurt. The car was extricated from the wreck and sent on to Bruns. wick, where 1t was picked up by q 'assenger train from the west, arriv. ;ng in Washington an hour and half later

SIX KILLED IN HOTEL FIRE.
Victims of New Haven Blaze Burned
 Beyond Recoqniton.


 New Haven, Conn, Nov. 13. - At least six lives were lost as result of a fire that badly damaged the Hotel Garde this morning, and several others were injured. The dead were employ ees of the hotel. 1t is believed that all the guests escaped.
 The fire followed an explosion on the fifth floor in the north wing of the building. The entire fire department was called to the scene before the flames were controlled. The bodies of the dead were burned beyond recog- milton. The Garde is one of the lar gest hotels in the city.
 The identified dead include Isaac Le- vine, porter; John Usa, a Polander (name not known) and Jacob Dublin. An Irishman known by the name of Henry is missing, and it is not known whether he is dead or living.
 The fire broke out shortly after 1 o'clock in the servants quarters on the fifth floor of the north wing, and here four persons were suffocated to death. Levine lost his life by falling from a rope which he was using as a fire escape.
 He lost his hold and fell on his head. Michael Cosgrove, a bellboy, was awakened just in time by his room mate and had descended the rope a little ahead of Levine. John Lynch, another employee. made wild dash through the flames and managed to reach the outside.
 H. c. Alderman, drummer of New York, was sleeping on the third floor and had his side injured in making his way from the hotel
 The fire was confined to the fifth floor, where it started, and the one be- low. The damage, it is thought, will be over $25, ,O0O, although no estimate could be given. Much of the damage will be by water.
 When the firemen made their way to the top floor they found four bodies so charred as to be unrecognizable, two of them in the room where it is thought the fire started. One of the men was on his knees.
 One man, a fireman employed iat the hotel, was badly burned about the body and is now at the New Haven hospital. He is Peter Antuzan.
 Coroner Mix is now making a pre-. liminary investigation.

AN OHIO IDEA.

1t seems Ohio has had a finger in the
making of the Oklahoma constitution,
which has come about through the in
telligent suggestion of Mr.. Allen r.
Foote, commissioner of the Ohio state
board of commerce. The following
section in the article on revenue and
taxation was drawn by Mr.. Foote:
Section 30.-The legislature shall
require all money collected by taxa
ton, or by fees. fines and public
charges of every kind, to be account
ed for by a system of accounting that
shall be uniform for each class of &C.
counts, state and local, which shall be
prescribed and audited by authority OF
the state"
That Is an important provision. It
brings into relief the public business
and makes it understandable. A great
deal of the corruption and reckless
business in the public service results
from the irregular and bunglesome
way of keeping accounts. Uniformity
encourages care, because mistakes are
easily discovered and explanations are
made unnecessary. There is a best
way for accounting, and the people
should have the benefit of that best
way; and it is pleasant to note that
Oklahoma is opening the way to get
that advantage through the thoughtful
ness of an Ohio UNCONSTITUTIONAL: Ohio

EMBROIDERED TRUTH.
Mark Twain on His Own Reputation

WARN wan on tbs OWN reputation
For Veracity.
l am used to having my statements
discounted. My mother began it before
l was seven years old. Yet all through
my life my facts have had n substra-
tum of truth, and therefore they were
not without p~reciousness. Any person
who is familiar with me knows how to
strike my average and therefore knows
how to get at the jewel of any fact of
mine and dig it out Of its blue clay
matrix. My mother klew that art.
When l was seven or eight or ten or
twelve years old-along there-a neigh
Dor said to her:
"Do you yer believe anything that
that boy says?'
My mother said:
"He is the ~wellsprlng of truth, but
you CAN'T bring up the whole we'll with

ceiyes me. l discount him 30 per cent
