Clearing Track for Fast Mail
Was Well Known Here.

Sapulpa, Oklahoma. Dec. l5.-Another
one Of those horrible accidents which so
often befall the railroad man occurred this
morning. just as Conductor Fred Rices
train was pulling into Sapulpa,
TO perform his duty faithfully and well,
and in order not to delay the fast mail
then due TO leave the station, Conductor
Rice cut his train in two and sent part Of
il in on double quick time and another
freight just behind his train pushed the
remainder Of the train into the station,
Rice remained on that part Of the train
which was left behind, and il is thought
though not positively known that the un-
fortunate man slipped in some manner
and was thrown under the car wheels,
where his body was almost severed from
his limbs. The accident occurred at ex-
actly at li,20 o'clock and was not discov-
cred until the train had reached the sta
ton, when the crew returned and picked
up the remains Of the conductor who
was then dead.
The remains we're taken TO the Buiilng-

PRACTICAL RELIGION.

Suffering from an excess of misin-
formation and a desire to say some
thing unusual. the Rev. William Thur
ston Brown attacks the Hospital asso-
citation for giving the charity ball, as
though the ladies composing that body
were doing something wrong. Mr.
Browns opinions need concern no one
vicious an impression of a great charity
that IL calls for attention.
TO begin with, he says the Hospital
association lis professedly religious
organization" That is not true II is
composed of women who are connected
with churches. it includes those of
every faith and some Of little faith. 1t
"professes" nothing but an unselfish de-
sire to help the helpless, succor the
needy. comfort the sick and minister TO
the wants of those who most need min
istrations. There is no question of re-
ligious creeds none of faith OF unfaith:
the only question asked is. does the
man or woman or child need medical
attention. and can he afford to pay for
IL? If he cannot. the association as
sumes the expense
Every dollar of the money earned by
the charity bail goes To relieve pain and
distress. to alleviate physical suffering
and tide over the derelict of humanity
until they are able to help themselves.
Mr.. Brown says there is no religion
about that sort of work. and he is well
come to that notion il he likes il or
thinks IL shows extraordinary intelli-
gence. Other people. those who know
the work done. the self-sacrifice II In
wolves. the good it realizes. win prefer
to think it approaches very near TO the
divinity that made the Son of Man go
about doing good, healing the sick, cur
ing the blind, making the lame to walk
and bringing happiness where sorrow
reisned.

The highest wages paid To men in the
factories at Dundee is s. 30. the machin-

clearly defined line between the work
OF men and Of women Some of the
heaviest work is done by women, but
where the work requires both skill and
strength men have To be employed.
Women are not allowed by law to work
overtime. but men can do so in those
processes where women are not re-
quired
In regard TO food, an investigation by
the Dundee Social union in 1905 showed
that in families containing two to seven
persons the daily expenditure per head
for food was from cents up. the aver
age for well-managed families where
the mother looked after the household
at home. not being much over 10 cents.
The family usually orders every Satur-
day night enough supplies to last them
the coming week. The usual breakfast
is p0rridse and milk. tea, bread and
butter The father or mother will gen.
orally nave an egg. Scotch broth soup
is the staple dish for dinner, being made
with one-half pound boiling beef,
pennywOrth of leeks, carrots and tur-
nips, and half-pennyworth of barley.
The meat is eaten with potatoes as a
second course. Poorer families win only
have one-fourth of a pound of beef,
with a pennyworth Of bone or parings.
and there is no second course. Pea and
lentil soups are also used. Potatoes are
largely used. Some families will have
rice pudding for dinner also. Supper
consists of bread, butter. jam or syrup, |

These people have reached a point |

would be almost impossible to save |

FORAKER A CANDIDATE.

That Senator j. Z. Foraker is still in
the ring, although slightly disfigured, is
amply evidenced by the publication OF
the correspondence with Virgil p. Kline
the Standard Oil attorney, who en-
plOyed the senator in a legal capacity
some years ago. The Archbold letters
read by William r. Hearst during the
recent campaign for the time being put
the Fire Alarm out of the running,
but he has evidently regained his wind
and proposes to stay in the race until
the tape is crossed
According TO recent advices, Foraker
has forty votes in the Ohio legislature,
members of the old guard in the Buck
eye state. The majority of the Repub-
licans on joint ballot is only thirty. so
that in any event the legislature can be
deadlocked. Foraker is determined at
any cost to prevent the election of
Charles p. Taft. brother of the presi-
dent-elect, or Theodore Burton, both of
whom he detests. 1t is said that failing
10 secure his own reelection. he will
throw his strength TO Governor Harris,
who has just been defeated by Judson
Harmon-an old man who probably
would not live to the end of his term,
and the field would again be open.
Whatever else may be said about For
aker, there is no doubt Of his ability to
put up a fight and his willingness to
enter the lists at any and all times
The struggle in the Ohio legislature this
winter will be decidedly interesting to

IAPs GOING SLOW.

The Japanese parliament has made
up the next years budget in accord
ance with the resources of the people, a
consideration not shown by any of the
European governments, or even the
United States. Japan still feels the ef-
fects of the war with Russia, and the
impulse TO remain among the fighting
nations of the world is strong. yet the
reductions in the army and navy esti-
mates amount TO S1s,5O0,0Oo.
This is a notification TO the great
powers of the earth that Japan is not
seeking trouble in any quarter, and that
the nation intends to advance by peace
able methods, an example which Great
Britain and Germany would do well to
follow. in view of the enormous load of
debt piling up on account of the craze
for larger warships and more of them.
