Two Marrow Escapes.

A Swiss workman was busy repair
ing the roof Of a small railroad sta
ton. says the Strand Magazine, when
the cleat against which be was rest
ing gave way and be began TO slide
over che edge 81 the roof To avoid .
spiked iron railing below be made a
desperate jump into space. An en-
press train was rushing by. and the
man landed on the roof Of a car HIa
outnung hands found and elutched a
ventilator chimney. He was carried
on four miles to the next station and
descended unhnrt.
More tragic was the occurrence on q
Rocky mountain railroad. Four EN-
ployees Of the Great Northern were
speeding down a precipitous grade on
hand car at thirty miles an hour
when a special train confronted them
around q curve. There was no avoid
ance Of a collision. Two Of the men
Jumped to death on the rocks below.
The others stuck 10 the car, and one
was crushed by the wheels Of the ad-
vancing engine. but the other man
was tossed uninjured into a clump Of
bushes which grew on a projecting
rock twenty feet below the edge Of
the cliff. II was the only safe place
where be could have fallen.

HAWAIIAN RACE DECLINES.

II Is probable that the Hawaiian
population had begun TO decrease
In numbers several centuries before
the advent Of the whites. This is ae-
counted for by the long series OF
bloody wars carried on by the rulers
Of the several islands. and the gen.
eral degradation Of the masses OF the
people. II 10 believed that the IIa-
waiiana at ono time numbered nearly
half million persons. but there were
probably not more than one-fOurth OF
this number az the beginning Of the
18th century,
Since the discovery of the islands
by Capt look. the race has been dim
inlshing rapidly. Like most primitive
peoples diseases Of the whites have
proved terribly destructive. The So
called "ehildren's diseases OF civil
Iced races. have more than once PROV
cd acouFge to the hawllIans. In
ls4S measles we're introduced to the
Island from California, and spread
to all parts Of the group, with the
result that II 10 estimated thai not
less than one-tenth Of the population
died. In 1853 smallpox gained foot
hold. and census taken three years
later showed decrease In native pop
ulation Of nearly $4,000. In 1879
there was another out reak Of small
pox and In 1881 Honolulu was agln
decimated. 2s2 persons dying out of
less than 500 cases. Tuberculosis
has found the Hawaiian an easy con
quest. and other diseases have been
very destructive
In 1874 the census showed 49,944
HawaiianS In the sroup. while In l 600
the number had dropped 20 2S.7s7, or
u per cent decrease. The number OF
paFt-Hawallans had also decreased
several hundred between 1895 and
1900. There Is little doubt that the
race will be practically extinct within
another quarter Of century unless
unforeseen conditions arise.
Like the North American Indian.
the native Hawaiian must disappear

a Scene Not Ina rmy.

An extraordinary scene took place N
the Princess theater. London, on the
night Of the frat production OF Charles
Reade's great play. Never Too Late
to Mend" Oct 4, 1866. During the
prison scene a large quantity Of water
was thrown over Mlss Moore, who took
the part Of JOsephs, the character done
to death by the warders. One Of the
critics. Mr., Tomlln OF the Morning Al,
vertiseF, rose from his seat and pub
licly protested against the unnecessary
cruelty, This, aroused almost a riot
among the audience, and the action Of
the play was stopped for some con
siderable time. Fuel was added to the
IRE by George vlnlng, the lessee Of the
theater, who was playing the part Of
Tom Robinson and who made q most
imprudent speech. In which he prac-
ticaily insulted every critic present,
with the result that the theater was
left severely alone by the press for
many months. The play, however,
turned out 20 be a popular success
and had. for those days. the phenOm-
email run Of 40 performances.

On the eve of the cath Of February,
lS4S, the workers of one Of the mines
Of st. Etienne drove the boss admins
tration away and declared the mine a
republie;-this fact is unique. But on
the coming 18th of March the miners of
Carmaux, Amin, of the Pas de Calais,
will proclaim the mines, where they
work, national property, and make
ready to exploit them for the good of
society.
Some coming 18th Of March there
will be a general uprising and every
where the working class will have lead
ers whom it long since knows, through
theil work, who inspire it with en-
tire confidence and who are broken
into public business through their
going in and out in their municipal
councils. The heads of the conscious
and organized best of the proletariat
are prepared for the social revolution.
Since the 18th of March, 1871, cap
italist production marches with giant
strides; it creates the economic mill
wherein will roll around the future
Communist society; it shapes the men

The socialist view of the matter is
summed up by Robert Hunter as
sdless to say that every
socialist deplores the outrage of yester'
day in Union Square. The fanatic
who threw the bomb has not only in
jured himself and threatened the lives
Of others, but he has made it impos-
sible for the public TO consider calmly
the two important questions thst the
socialists were attempting to bring TO
the notice Of the public.
"It is the opinion of well informed
persons that at least 100000 are now
unemployed in New York City. Most
of them have been without work for
three months at least. This means
that many of them are facing starva-
tion. Various attempts have been
made TO call the attention Of the pub
lie authorities to this widespread
misery.
luc bOCldlloNS ltti lut hloSb tlANtt-
i've way Of attracting public attention
to the subject was to have mass
meeting. This has been done and is
being done in most cities of Europe.
There seemed no good reason why 1t
should not be done in New York City.
1t was my intention and that of my
friends to discuss the problem Of un-
employment, to state the facts as we
know them and to pass resolutions
urging the city and state authorities
TO provide work.
"If the meeting had been allowed to
proceed peaceably, as they are allowed
in many other countries, there is no
reason why the gathering should not
have made a profound impression and
materially aided the cause of the uD'
mployed.-Common Sense.
