men strong in the community: men who
look upon religion. not as a sentimental
theory OF life. but as a great force IN the
regeneration Of society, and in the reform
Of social and legislative abuses"
Mr. Clayton pointed out that the ideal
Of Christ was a universal religion as
permanent force in human conduct. and
that he attached far less Importance 10
church worship than 10 al everyday re-

Two Killed, One Injured.

New York, Oct 31.-Dr. William G.
Terwillger of Brooklyn and Robert
WEIGH, a real estate operator. were Kill
led and young New York University
law student, Gilbert Rhoades, of Mil
ton, N. H., was seriously injured in a
smashup near Long Beach this after
noon when the automobile in which they
were riding was struck by train of the
Long Island Railroad. The locomotive
hit the auto fairly, while it was in the
middle of the track and shattered it.
The men in the auto were tossed into
the air and all fell in the marshes many
feet from the crossing. Terwilliger's
body was picked up at least forty feet
from the crossing, while Welch's body
fell fifty feet from the crossing and in
another direction, and Young Rhoades
landed at nearly an equal distance in a
third direction and some 100 feet or
more from the spot where Terwillger's
body was found.
A physician summoned found that the
skulls of both Terwillger and Welch had
been crushed and he said undoubtedly
they had died instantly from the blow
of the locomotive. Rhoades was I'M
conscious when picked up.

Four Fall 80 Feet With Wrec Ike d
Auto.

In an automobile crash on the Mama
roneck Boulevard near White Plains
yesterday touring car with two
women and two men was hurled over an
embankment and crashed into ditch
thirty feet below. None of the oc-
cupants, strange to say, was seriously
injured.
The wrecked car was owned and in
charge of Joseph Merriam of Mount
Kisco. The auto party was bound for
Larchmont and was travelling at slow
rate.
Near the country estate of Paul Gil
bert Thebaud another car, going in the
same direction and at a fast clip, came
up behind the Merriam machine and
dashed into them. The Merriam ma
chine skidded and went over the en-
bankment, being badly smashed. Mrs.
Rumsey suffered fracture of the left
arm and her shoulder was dislocated.
In addition she sustained severe contus-
ions about her body. Mrs. Merriam,
who received Commissions of the body
and severe shaking up, was able to be
taken to her home. Both Mr.. Merriam
and Mr.. Rumsey escaped unhurt.

Brattleboro Auto Accidents.

Brattleboro, Oct 81. While speed
ing along the West river road late this
afternoon in an automobile, Charles S.
Brown, his wife and party of friends
were precipitated over an embankment
landing in West river so feet below.
The occupants chung to the machine
and as the car struck the rocks on the
river bottom, all were thrown out.
Mrs. Brown was severely injured and
has slight chance of recovery. The
other occupants were scratched and
bruised. The accident happened near
the farm of John j. VIEWER, in the town
of Dummerston, about two and half
miles from Brattleboro. The party
was returning home after a days trip.
At the time of the accident Mr.. Brown
was driving carefully around bad
curve when the steering gear broke
and, before he could reduce the power
the car shot over the bank rolling over
and over to the river bed below. The
car was badly damaged in its fall and
may be a total loss. Medical assistance
was summoned from Bratteboro to at
tend Mrs Brown, who was afterward
removed to her home. Examination OF
the machine showed loose nut on the
steering post

The Moruan Horse.

The Morgan is the horse that made
Vermont famous. In the history of
the Green Mountain state the name of
Justin Morgan ranks almost as high as
that of Justin Morrill,, which is saying
great deal.
The fashions change in horses as in
everything else, and for time it looked
as though the Morgan was slipping into
obscurity and that there was danger of
the entire loss of the pure Morgan type.
Happily this has been averted, partly
by the aid of the United States govern
ment, and at the White River Junction
fair the 200 animals entered in the Nor
gan classes included many who would
be recognized at once as true descend
ants of the founder of the family.
No breed of horses ever surpassed
the best Morgans in their concentrated
combination of endurance, pluck and
power. A strain of the blood is valu-
able in trotting pedigree as indicating
the stamina which should accompany
speed. 1t was shown at the Vermont
fair that proper handling is all the Nor
gans need to make them successful as
show horses. But their great value,
and in this respect it is not probable
that they ever will be surpassed, is as
the New England farmers all-purpose
horse among our everlasting and
strengthening hills.
In our opinion the Morgan horse de-
ton is worth to the state of Vermont
all the fair costs it. concord Monitor

CHILD KILLED BY AUTO.
Little Mother" Having fun After
doing Household Work is
Crushed by Texicab.

Jennie Bernstein, little mother"
of Harlem, seven years old, got the
dishes washed and the three younger
children in bed last night and then, when
she ran out to the street to play that
she was little girl having some fun,
she was run over by red taxicab and
killed.
The killing which beholders classed
as murder, occurred in front of the child s
home at No. 1906 Park avenue. AS
Jennie left the house after dark she
spied schoolmates standing in front
of a candy store across the street and
she ran to join them.
The taxi was going down the avenue
at a fast clip and the child neither
saw nor heard it. 1t struck her
as she reached the middle of the road
and hurled her fifteen feet straight
ahead. Then, without swerving an inch
to right or left, the machine kept on at
the same rate of speed and ran over the
child. And still it kept on at the same
speed in spite of the shouts of the crowd
to stop, and disappeared by turning
west in One hundred and Eleventh
street. But Patrolman McRae of the
East One Hundred and Twenty-sixth
station was confident, as were several
bystanders, that the number of the taxi
was 1902. The police of the whole city
were Immediately asked through head
quarters to look out for a chauffeur
driving a car with that number.
The chld's father was told what had
happened and ran to the drug store
where his daughters body had been
carried. Then he hurried home to pre-
vent the news getting to his wife,
whose last baby was born only three
days ago. But two hysterical children
of the neighborhood had RIM into the
house ahead of him crying Jennie S
killed, and the shock to the mother
was so great that she may die.

Four Persons Drownd When Ma

bridge Into Chicago River.

Chicago, Nov. Z. -Four persons were
plunged into the Chicago river at Jack
son Boulevard late tonight when an
auto ran into an open drawbridge. 1t
is believed that all the occupants of the
car were drowned.
The Waterman on the bridge heard
screams and saw man swimming down
stream with woman clinging to his
neck, after the touring car disappeared
beneath the surface. The cries soon
ceased, and in a moment the desperate
swimmer and his burden We're lost to
sight.
The accident occurred at 10 O'Clock
when the bridge swung open to allow a
tugboat to pass through. Although the
Waterman says the danger signal lights
We're burning and the warning bell ring
ing, the approaching car did not slack
en- its speed. When it got near the
Waterman shouted a warning, and APP
parently the occupants of the car heard
him, for an answering cry arose. The
touring car swerved, plunged over,

S25o,ooo,ooo For The State.

At time when DR.. Eliot is appealing
for the preservation from monopolistic
control of the country's remaining
power resources, such as coa-felds and
water falls, the foresight shown by
Minnesota in securing a perpetual in
come from its mineral deposits is of
interest.
The Western commonwealth adopted
the fore-handed policy of eXacting roy
alties from ore mined on State lands
and provided by legislative enactment
for the investment of the revenue Ac-
cording to Attorney-General Simpson,
the income from the fund is now $500, =
600 annually, and during the next fifty
years the principal may be expected to
approximate $3.50, 600, 600.
The figures suggest an extract from
Steel trust balance sheet rather than
fiscal transaction by a State. 1t is idle
at this day to estimate the benefits
which might have accrued to Pennsyl-
vania from a similar exhibition of legis-
lative sagacity covering its coal and oil
fields. The example of Minnesota is
mainly serviceable to the newer States
and Territories which have not as yet
alienated their natural resources. But
it should not be lost on States which
like New York possess a capacity for
vast future revenue from water-power
and forest lands.

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER IL, 1909.
Two Types.

Lord Northcliffe laments the fact that
Canadians look and act so much like
Americons. He deplores the nonexist-
ence of Canadian type" 1.-THE Can
ada first knew" he said to an Ottawa
audi ence, Seemed to me to be more in
dividual than today. Lately in the
West it seemed that, apart from the
flag and the rosy cheeks of the children,
Winnipeg might have been Kansas City
and Calgary Portland, Or, or Portland,
Me-, for there is little difference in the
people of modern American cities. The
standardization of the human being, one
of the results of the American public
schools, is being copied. think, most
unnecessarily in Canada. Like the
Americans, your people are beginning
to look alike" This is the American
peril which Canada evidently faces,
much to the alarm of his lordship.
A Canadian journalist, j. A. Mac
donald, editor of the Toronto Globe,
who attended the imperial press confer
ence in London last summer, has recent
~ written out his impressions of the ap-
pearance of the people of England.
The American type does not please Lord
Northcliffe but the English type did not
pleace Editor Macdonald. The Canadian
observer, after describing the spendors
of the conference he attended, tells his
roaAaro OF homo uyhot bo COW, I on
don, Sheffield and other English cities
Frankly, the thing that impressed me
most, the thing that stands out as the
background of every Renaissance, was
the bloodless, mirthless, hopeless face of
the common crowd. Nothing seems
able to dim or wipe out or soften the
hard lines of that impression. The
dress receptions, the gorgeous pageants,
the galleries, the colleges, the stored
castles, and all that rare procession of
beauty and wonder and worth may fade
into dream-like memory, but the pale
and sunken faces of the nameless city
crowd haunt one like weird.
Everywhere Mr.. Macdonald was stag
gered by the misery he saw. There was
1.-The hollow-eyed procession of the
homeless of London. The sight of
"the human sediment that Uttered the
doorways and lanes" of Portsmouth APP
palled him. In sheffield he was aghast
at 1.-THE utter darkness of the faces
that looked up at US from the pavement
or down on us from the windows: .
STOPPED shoulders, hollow chests, ash
coored faces, lightless eyes, and ghast-
hest of all, loose-set mouths, with
bloodless gums, and only here and there
a useful tooth. Certainly no delegate
to the imperial press conference had
ever seen the like in any white country
over seas or even imagined it possible
within the limits of human nature.
The Canadians can take their choice
of types. But it is certain that the
American type, which fails to gain the
admiration of Lord Northclffe, might
be worse. And there is possibility that
it NAV be improved
