CALLS FOR PRIEST.
Railroad Mans Remarkable Vitality Arm That Was Cut Off Hurt Him.


 Arm That Was Cut on Hurt Him.
 Hartford, Sept 19.--After falling from the running board of switch engine on which he was working and having his body literally ground to pieces about 10:30 last night, John Danahey, switch brakeman living at No 380 Windsor street, remained conscious for nearly an hour last night and lived to be taken to St Francis's hospital, but died about 10 minutes later. Engineer Helgren, on whose engine he was working. felt the body under the wheel and slpposing him to be dead, as the en- tire body was horribly mangled, he sent word to the Union station and from there the request was sent to aminer.
 As he lay on the stretcher in the baggage room of the Union station one of the men thought that he could see his heart, which was ex- posed to view, beating. Just then, like a voice from the dead. the in- jured man spoke up and said:
 For Gods sake, get me some wa- ter.
 Haste was made to pour the wa- ter down his throat, and then he called for Father Rogers of St Pat rick's church, who lives near the depot, and messenger hurriedly brought the priest to his side, and while the railroad men stood with their heads uncovered, Father Rog- CTS administered the last rites of the Catholic church, Danahey fully conscious of what was going on around him. As he was being lifted from the baggage room into the pa- trol wagon, he asked them to take him to St Francis's hospital, and then asked for more water. Offcer John J. Welch sat holding his head as they went atAa mile-a-minute clip for the hospital, and asked him if he felt any pain.
 Not much" he replied in clear. strong voice, .bu: please straighten out my left arm His left arm had been cut of by the engine and was lying under seat in the wagon.
 Danahey is survived by wife and two children, who live at No 380 Windsor street.

Message of Coincidence from Banking
 House to Deceased's Widow.

The funeral of Morris Tafel, which was held yesterday afternoon, was very largely attended, thus showing the high esteem In which he was held by all who knew him. Rabbi Ruben of New Haven read the service. The bearers were Samuel Weinstein, NJ. Musler, Joseph Burros, Isadore Fa- bricant, Abraham Kramer and NJ. Liebskind. Among the messages of condolence was the following from the house where MT Tafel did his banking business:
 Dear Madam: On behalf of the officers of Manufacturers National bank. wish to extend to you and your family our sincere sympathy in your great sorrow. MT Tafel was counted among our very good cus- toners and we always were glad to talk with him when he came to see us. Yours respectfully.

twothrds of the work of this Association would
be done away with, and gladly would we all give
up our positions to such state of affairs. 1t
may be unwise to tell state secrets but some day
soon there will be public uprising from the poor
against unsanitary living places, and the owners
of them may look to visiting nurses meters of
the movement.
Third. Decent and humane for incurable
cases of tuberculosis. The situation is most de-
plorable, both from lack of protection to the
community as we'll humane care of the sick.
1t is the overcrowded dwellings of the poor that
we must regard as the real breeding place of tu-
bercuosis, and we must first direct attention
to abolishng this, If wish to attack the evil at
its root. The City Council would come to the
rescue if they would go with the visiting nurse
on one days rounds.
Not only the City Council but anyone who goes
a day with Visiting Nurse and sees the misery
that she does and observes what she herself is
too modest to observe the amount of good that
her visits do the sick and the poor will appre-
ciate the nobility of these women, who are devot-
ing their lives to their fellow men in the finest
service in the world. Chicago has many women
of whom she may be proud, but none of whom
she may be prouder than these self-sacrifcing

from the doctor, and turns the case over to the
nurse in charge of the district in which the chlld
lives This nurse cares for the child and instructs
the mother at home and gives back to the doctor
a history of the family, housing, etc Fitty-one
cases were treated in this way since October
Not content with doing the work of today alone
the Association is planning for the work of to-
morrow They have outlined the objects that they
desire to accomplish this year. These are three in
number:
First without further delay the establishing
of a Children's Hospital for contagious diseases
The lack of it is blot upon our city. Children
are taken as good of as possible under the
circumstances at Cook County Hospital but for
lack of proper facilities and overcrowdtng they
are subject to the danger of running the whole
gamut of contagious diseases before they are
discharged from the institution. This report is
not the proper place to go into detail. but first
hand contact with this situation, with the chill
dren of the poor as her wards has urged the Wis
iting Nurse to lend her voice in protest against
this neglect and this with spirit of criticism of
anyone.
Second. Such housing reforms as shall make 1t
criminal for landlord to take rent for an un
sanitary living place. Could this be brought about

English Table Manners.

He had been a waiter in smart West End
hotel London, and had come to Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, for his health
Speaking of Manners he said pointing to
article in recent woman's magazine upon that
subject while we eating at the same table in
the Vegetarian Cafe, lit is queer the atrocious
manners people, even in so-caled polite society,
exhibit in public, especially at the public dining
table,"
"Apropos of what are your remarks?"
inquired timidly.
He lifted up his eyes in a somewhat critical way
so far as my experience goes" he went on, 81
have seen a great deal of bad manners in waiting
on public diningtables In London, some through
ignorance of table etiquette; others because they
were careless of the laws governing table polite
ness.
For instance both asparagus and Indian corn
should be eaten with the fingers. l have often
seen such tackled with knife and fork. OF course,
this is not crime, but how embarrassing IL MADE
those thus misusing the knife to discover their
felow-diners using their fingers. What to do with
the knife they knew not! They could not very
well lay it back the table and to leave 1t ON the
plate would cause them to be minus what they
would need for the next course. In such cases,
have often mercifully removed the used tools and
supplied clean ones In their place VI course l
was usually tipped for my trouble
"Again olives are usually a puzzle to diners.
These should be taken in the fingers from the dish,
and eaten between courses. l have seen amateur
diners-out place them on the plate with Whatever
dish they were eating, and franticaly strive to
cut them into pieces with knife; and often the
olive flies off into a neighbors lap
Tipping ones soup plate toward one is com
mon error. 1t should be tipped away from the
eater
"Oysters are another puzzle in eating have
often seen young ladies' who from their actions
one might judge to be dining out for the first
time try to cut the bivalve in half and sometimes
the results would be very amusing. oysters
should of course be eaten whole balanced on
fork Then again, thoughtless people will often
smother said food in cayenne pepper and nearly
choke themselves when trying to digest It,
"Then there is the fnger-bow One would
think that this was such a common thing that
people knew what it was for. But saw one man
at hunt dinner in country house in England
actually pick up the bowl and drink the water
therefrom to the great astonishment of the other
guests"

The flower seeds and flower boxes purchased
with the money left from the Easter flower dona-
tion has given not only pleasure but opened up
an occupation for many of the tubercular children.
Three prizes were offered, and Matt Skelleys let
ter to Miss Fulmer will give you some idea of
how hard the children worked and what pleasure
it really was:
Dear Miss Fulmer:
81 am so GLAD that | a prize and got so
cents that thought could buy suit of clothes
with it and nv Mama said could buy whatever |
wanted to so went to the store and asked the
price of most everything I bought pair of
suspenders, pair of stockings and had 20 cents
left so I bought Robbie cap for Is cents and my
Mama big spoon so | wish could win another
prize again one of my little bushes has little
on it, and it is sweet only have my trouble
to keen the cats ont of my flower box they broke
some of my morning glorys last night.

The Babv Tents in the three congested districts,
financed bv the Relief and Aid Society and man.
aged and nursed by the Association were as far
reaching in their usefulness as anything we nave
ever done before Two hundred and thrtv-one
different sick babies given bath. clean clothing
and clean bed. and sterile milk in clean, cool
tent eight to ten hours day, certainly warranted
the expenditure To this we must add the benefit
of instruction to the 291 mothers who came with
the babies and who knew that the next day their
homes would be visited by the nurse in the dis
trict A doctor in attendance each day at the
tents and many babies not i'll enough to remain
at the tents returned home and the nurse
in the district followed the case up to see that
the parent carried out the instructions Through
this work the Association obtained foothold in
the Ghetto district Mr.. Kingsley of the Relief
and Aid Society says:
'"The Relief and Aid Society has special reason
for gratitude to the Visiting Nurse Association
this year. The cooperation which we enjoyed
with your organization not only profitable to
the poor of city and to the community, but it

OF INTEREST TO THE SOUTH.

The pending bill relating to war
claims appropriates nothing directly,
although it overs claims amounting to
fully 81, 900, 600, 900 due to southern
claimants. The bill gives the court of
claims jurisdiction of the cases arising
from captured and abandoned pro-
perty during the war. This property
was sold by the government, and the
proceeds turnd into the treasury. The
pending bill aims to have the just claims
on account OF a property adjudi-
Gated by the court Of claims. Claim
ants were permitted to esta blish claims
for a period oftwo years after the end
of the war, but in that period nearly ali
~southerns were disqualified. The am
gnesty proclamation came too late to
let them take their claims to court.
The pending bill should be passed.
It is not extravagant to say that no
spurious Or e~xtravagant claim could
be established under it. The court OF
claims would sift them to the utter
most, and only just and meritorious
claims would be established.
h sums have long been due, and
xthe government can certainly trust one
tofits own tribunals to adjust them,
Vi is said the pending bill is to &C
through. It has been reported unani-
mously, at any rate, by the House
committee on war claims.

UNCLE SANS Big FIGHT.

Attorney Genera Bonaparte has de-
cided to apply the Northern Securities
case to Hartman, Sch1f, Kahn, Still
man., Rogers, Frick, Clark and their
associates who have combined, it is
charged, seven competing and parallel
trunk lines, including their branches
and steamship lines. This means that
an attempt is to be made to dissolve
the working partnership and joint
ownership of the Union Pacific and the
Southern Pacific railroads.. The men
who have Joined them together are
charged with conspiracy in restraint
of trade under the Sherman antitrust
law. The suit has been begun in the
federal district court in Salt Lake City,
and Attorney General Bonaparte pro-
poses to look after its progress il per-
son. He has, however, several ef6ci-
emit assistants.
The railroads have almost as much
money as Uncle Sam has, and a con-
test of an exhaustive nature may read
lily be anticipated. The real meaning
or rather influence of the Northern
Securities ease was to forbid the con-
troll of the railroads of the country by
one man or one set of men, and if that
decision is confirmed in the suit just
begun against Hartman and his as
sociatas the country will perhaps be
saved from q gigantic railroad mo-
nopoly. Attorney General Bonaparte
lis confident that the outcome will be
favorable to the government, and the
final decision in the supreme court
will be awaited with interest by nearly
every thoughtful man in the land.
