While running at a lively clip,
street car No. SO jumped the track
at Sixth and Clark streets yesterday

The car rolled to the sidewalk and
plowed up several feet OF brick be-
fore the runaway could be stopped.

injured on the head, but revived and
walked home. Mrs. Conner is so
years old.
Motorman George Alexander was
in charge of the street car, and he
escaped injuries, although when the
ear struckthe sidewalk the pilot was
torn on and glass broken. The
damage to the sidewalk shows that
the car hit the walk with great
force. which threw the passengers

Language Of the Future.
-om the Philadelphia Press


1t must be very gratifying to every
American, and, indeed, to all who speak
English, that that language is fast be !.
coming the dominant speech of the
world. At the beginning of the nine
teenth century. and for great part of
that century. French was the diplomatic
language of the nations, but now it has
been in great part supplanted by the Eng
lish tongue. the use of which will con-
tinue SO to grow until in time it will I'M
doubtediy come into common use as the
language of international intercourse At
the opening of the last century French
was spoken by about 3O.GOO.OOO people and
English by but about 2O.O0O.OOO. One hun
dred years later Participating people
numbered about 52,OGO.OOO. while the Eng
disappearing people numbered over $780,
100000. and doubtless since this century
opened a greater disproportion exists.
This has been caused not only by the
greater increase In population, but by the
fact that in many Of the great colleges
abroad. especially the missionary col
leges of the east, notably the Roberts
College at ConstantinOple and the Canton
Christian College and others, the English
language is part of the curriculum, and
SO as the teachings of Christ go to these
oriental lands hand in hand with it goes
the speech OF the greatest governments OF
the world, and the nations are growing
closer to each other in the more general
use of a common language.
