ONE can hardly pick up paper but
that he sees several accounts of acct
dents and deaths caused by automo-
biies. Railway wrecks and railway
accidents are clearly put in the shade.
The fault is not 50 much with the auto,
but rather in almost every case, the
blame can be placed on the thought
Iessness of ''the man at the wheel. .
Autos are here to stay, but the handl-
ing of cars, many of large horse power,
should be under control of those who
understand them and who recognize
that the walking public have some
rights that they are bound to respect.

NIGHT COLLEGES.

The trustees of the City college have
resolved to establish next fall a night
college for bright boys who must work
In the daytime for a living. 1t is an
admirable innovation, remarks the
New York World. The old-fashioned
American college course was laid out
upon the analogy of seven years spent
in learning a trade. The student was
four years ~apprenticed to learning to
become a bachelor. Three years more
he practiced what he had learned, like
q j%ourneyman in a trade, and then he
was a fully fedged master of arts 'in
course" His four years in college
allowed generous vacations to teach in
winter and work in the bayfield, in
summer. Under the modern point sys-
tenn, with the aid of summer sessions,
any bright boy can complete a college
course in three years. One year more
in residence gives him a masters de-
gree. In a night college a student can
easily in four years, by reciting two
hours every evening for 46 weeks, pre-
sent the equivalent of the minimum
cellege requirement. BY reciting
three hours each night except Satur-
day the minimum college require.
ments could be met within the college
terms; or with night summer sessions
in three years.

DEWEY'S CHIEF is BLIND
as Result of Battle Ex-
perience.

Washington, D. C.-Rear Admiral
Lambert, who served as chief of staff
to Dewey at the battle of Manila Bay,
has gone blind. The trouble started
within a few months of the great fight
and the admiral's physicians attribute
the origin of the malady to the strain
of that trying occasion.
His sight is now irrecoverably
gone, but, surrounded by his family,
he is rounding out his days in his
pretty Washington home and interest,
ing himself in Church work, keeping
up his cheerful attitude toward the
world, beloved by everybody and, ex.
cept for his afhiction, in perfect health
and in possession of all his faculties.

Boston, Mass.-Rev. DR.. Edward
Everett Hale, chaplain of the United
States senate, died at his home in
the RoXbury district of Boston. He

Heart disease was the cause of DR..

his physician, Dr.. Temple, and several
personal friends were at the bedside
when the venerable chaplain OF the
senate breathed his last. The end

LION KILLS 7. R.. GUIDE

BONE AND RIPS FLESH.
n. Williams, old-Time African Hunter
Falls Victim to His Quarry
Roosevelt is Near Scene.

Naivasha, British East Africa
Colonel Roosevelt has at last had
the dangers Of big game hunting in
Africa brought home to him by the
mortal injuries sustained by II. Will
liams, who, while hunting with F. q.
Selous and w. H. Mcmillan at Sotik,
was attacked by a lion.
The runner who arrived with news
from the Roosevelt camp did not
state whether Mr.. Roosevelt was q
witness of the tragedy or not, but as
Selous was to act as the guide for the
ex-president, 1t is inferred that the
latter was also in the party.
Williams was attacked by the lion
after it had been shot. His shoulder
was broken and his flesh ripped into
shreds In a dozen places. Williams
was an Englishmen living in the
Tumbwa district and was a hunter of
large experience.
The unfortunate occurrence, the
first of it's kind that has befallen the
party, checked the enthusiasm of all
the members ~perceptibly. One good
that has already resulted from it.
however, is the determination Of the
other hunters to take greater care in
the future. especially in the matter OF
having sufficient weapons at hand to
guard against a misdirected shot.
The party had just got started on
its hunt when the runner arrived and
he was not able to say whether the
party had been successful.

1t is getting to be a cold and cruel
world for the rat. Not only is he be-
ing slaughtered by the thousands in
localities where he is regarded as a
dissemination of deadly disease, but
the hunters are on his track for other
purposes. LONDON has a great rat
killing industry, the rodents being re-
moved" in vast numbers because of
the value of their skins for certain
uses. These skins are utilized for
bookmaking and making photograph
frames, purses and parts of ladies
gloves, and not less than 5000, 900 is
paid out for the skins annually, MAX
ing the rat-catcher's trade quite a
notable industry. There are lots of
rats in Scandinavia, and the Norwe-
gian or brown rat is a big and both
ersome rodent who because of his
fighting ability and other qualities
has made himself a nuisance in vari-
GUS countries to which he has mi
grated. And now comes a consular
report dealing with rat-catching in
Denmark which says the business is
extensive and a source of consider
able revenue to men engaged in it,
and who make from rs to 80 cents a
day. With all the hostile agencies
at work the rat would seem to run a
fair chance Of being exterminated.
Yet a great many of him survive.
