We have been called upon SO often
to chronicle the deaths in our COM

would be accustomed to the sad task :
but no, we find it harder each time,
for each death has it's own peculiar
sadness. Thus we feel about our
little friend Percy Allen, who was
called upon to lay down his life at
the tender age of sixteen years. Percy
had been sick only two weeks with
typhoid fever and all that q kind,
patient, physician could do, was done
by DR.. Noble, relatives and friends
lending their assistance but all to
no avail, God was ready for his own.
and on Friday October 18th he
snccumbed to the dreaded disease.
The bereaved family have the heart
felt sympathy of the entire COM
munity in the Loss Of this noble boy.

DESERVES THE FIRST HELP.

TT MUST be accepted that one OF the most i'm
4 portant topics to come before the Legisla-
ture for consideration is the needed increase in
accommodations at the State Hospital at Farm
hurst. The article printed in THE JOURNAL
yesterday showed deplorabe condition of af-
fairs at the institution caused by the lack of room
and the overcrowding of the unfortunate patients.
AS was pointed out there is no room for the
proper care of these unfortunates who are thrown
upon the State for support and nothing can APP
peal to the hearts and minds of the legislators
more keenly than the situation at the State Hos
pitai There is imperative demand for an in
crease in the accommodations there and other
matters will have to stand aside il the States fin
fances are such that adequate appropriations can
not be made for all the interests that are seeking
money from the State for different purposes. 1t
is folly to talk of new State Capitol for instance
while there is suffering at Farnhurst. The Lord
knows the condition OF the unfortunates commit
ted there is deplorabie enough without having
an additional affection of improper care and in
adequate room. The question is a grave one
The institution is well managed, DIR. Black and
the trustees Of the hospita,having devoted years
Of time. and attention to th;s-matter, and we
trust that the Legislature will see that the State
Hospital at Farhhurst is we'll taken care of.

Try REASON Of q lsrtain remarks made in

day night the impression was given that our city
has defaulted in the payment Of certain bonds
Upon investigation and information given by
Mr. White, chairman os the Finance Committee
OF Council, and who is rtnaking most creditable
record for the attentisl and special ability he is
showing in dealing with the city's financial af-
fairs, the bonds referred to will not mature until
July and September I Of this year, and that the
interest on them is payable any time during the
present month. We are pleased to correct the
impression given by Councilman McGovern's re-
marks. Oud citys credit stands very high and
for it to default on it's bonds would be most de-
plorable.

What,a In q Name7

Editor The Evening Journal.
Some people object to the name
hired man." and wish to know why
farm hands are so called. Well, there
are two very simple reasons in my es-
timation and these ara: First, because
they are "hired men" in the true sense
Of the expression, and second, because
! II has become a custom. Presumably
the latter is the reason why enginemen.
lengine-driver and some other machin-
isis are called engineers. But they are
lengineers to certain extent and so
are farm hands "hired men, as are all
persons who are hired. Now this
brings out the trouble with American
| people-everybody wants to be some
body. Democracy has nothing to do
with it. In England the spirit Of DEM
ocracy is as strong as 1t is here, but
social position does not enter into the
matter. one Englishman is as gooi
as another as far as his political rights
go, but he knows that socially the case
is different. A butler who had at one
time been a clerk and also in several
other positions said: "As a clerk / was
much servant as ] am now, but all
the while pretending that 1 was not
pretending, always pretending!" Now
! have a small grievance against the
people who use the word engineers in
the wrong sense. Recently I have seen
advertisements In various papers stat
! Ing that a certain engineer understood
ice machinery. Now II he is an engineer
he must understand almost every kind
OF machine, together with physics,
chemistry and all the sciences dealing
with the forces OF nature. There are
but two kinds Of engineers. the civil
an dmilitary the letter does not need
70 know so much about machines and
has different work in general but the
principle is the same I'm both cases
Now let the word engineer be applied
in its right place and stop grieving
about the term "hlred man." which is
used correctly

TO INVESTIGATE CAUSE OF WRECK.

IT HE Interstate Commerce Commission has
\ begun investigation Of the recent seri-
GUS wrecks on several important railroads The
disasters on the rails following in close success
sion have made many persons fear that there must
be negligence or inefhcency. The list of the
killed and injured during the year on the roads
becomes appalling and anything that the COM
mission can suggest OF do to lessen the peril of
travelling will be warmly welcomed by the public
The accidents that happen with such alarming
frequency take place not only on roads in which
the management may be admittedly inefficient.
but some Of the best conducted roads are not
free from peril The block system was assumed
to be about as near perfection as could be OBJ
tanned and yet the terrible disasters must call the
present methods Of guarding the safety of pas
sengers into question.
