MOTHER LOVE AND PRAYERS.

No man of sound mind and of nor
mally humane spirit would do what a
stranger. dressed in clerical garb, " is
reported to have done last Monday
in Hagerstown, in house of mourning.
according to dispatch published in
The Sun.
In this house lay the body of a boy
five years old, who had been killed in a
railroad yard in Hagerstown. Into
the presence of the mother, bereft of
her child and suffering as only mother
can suffer, this man was admitted, be-
cause, he said he wanted to offer a
prayer for the dead. If it had been
his purpose to add to the sorrow of that
mother, to stretch her heart strings
beyond endurance, he could not have
employed more effective method He
thanked God in has prayer, it is stated
for taking the boy away, saying that
that it was far better that he should
die and not grow up to be sinful man.
1t is strange that any mother hearing
such an Invocation should be overcome
by emotion and be Frustrated physi-
cally? She expected a message of
sympathy and consolation. She heard
the voice of one praising God for the
death of her child. Only a person of
dlsordered mind could have so outraged
human sensibilities and so torn moth
er's heart.
In the mind Of the unbalanced man
who brought additional agony to a
mothers heart there was a thought,
however, which has found lodgment in
the minds of not few men and women.
That thought is based upon the fear
that youth is beset by so many tempta-
tons that even when children are rear
ed under the best environment the out
come is uncertain. But the healthy
view, and the hopeful and encouraging
view, is that as the twig is bent so the
tree will be inclined. Home training
must be relied upon to fortify the child
against temptation, to it in the funda-
mental principles of integrity and of
clean living. The mother can do this
as no other agency, and, whatever the
environment Of her children, she will be
in the future, as she has been in the
past, the greatest instrumentality for
molding the character of the youth of
the nation. Innumerable mothers do
this in every station of life and they
constitute today the greatest force for
righteousness which the world possess
es. The world is very evil and full of
pitfalls, but mothers love and pray
ers follow her children like guardian
angels, saving them from many snares
and raising them when they fall. Bal

INDEFENSiBlE.

James A. Patten puts away from
himself blame for the high price of
wheat and -four today, and bread itself
tomorrow, with a weak show iof
simple motives and guiltless acts. He
foresaw wheat supply short of the
breadeater's demands for their food, he
explained, his air grandiose loftiness
above feeling petty injuries from false
report, and he bought most loads of the
grain sent to market on the way. When
the millers' bins were nearly empty and
the new wheat was needed for the
bakers -four, the millers had to buy of
him. He did not ask a Shylock's price
of them. There was enough wheat to
go around. In their eagerness to
obtain part. ever so small a part, of
his supply, they of their own free will
offered him prices well above the past
average figures, and they are still climb
ing one above the other, these ardent
rivals for his wheat. He merely takes
their money.
But suppose last summer he had been
the owner of city's water supply in
that severe drough, and he had held the
water for what the parched people
frantically bid him, each crazy to get
all possible water for the wife and
the children. The peoples anger
against that heartless villainy could
hardly have found vent within the
law. But, woe to him, it would have
found a vent And TIE next human
necessity to water is bread. Persons
do not dare take either from the
criminals undergoing the hardest
punishment dealt in modern times.

THE DEATH PENALTY.

Pennsylvania Legislature recently
passed law under which it would have
been possible for juries in murder cases
to decide whether persons whom they
had found guilty should be sentenced to
be hanged or to spend their lives in
prison. When the bill came before
Gov. Stuart for consideration, he vetoed
it. And this is the reason that he gave:
"In view of the disregard Of human
life which some elements of our popula-
ton continually exhibit, | do not think
that our criminal law governing the
punishment for murder in the first de-
gree should be relaxed"
1t any one outside of Pennsylvania
had SO indicted the people of that state,
doubtless the governor would have been
among the first to call him to account.

TURNED TURTLE.
Four Occupants, Hurled Against
Embankmept, Suffer Serious
Injuries

Mays Landing, N. j., Aug. 90
While rounding sharp turn at Grav-
ely Run, mile below this place, in his
big touring car at high rate of speed,
DR.. William E. Darnell, of Atlantic
City, with his wife and two friends,
was hurled into the embankment of a
nearby mill pond, the machine turning
turtle. Passing autoists came to the
rescue of the party and rushed them to
Atlantic City, where their injuries were
dressed.
The force of their fall tore off cloth
ing and jewelry and inflicted painful
wounds, and also, it is thought, inter-
nal injuries. Mrs. Darnell was report
ed in a serious condition. The names
of DIR. Darnell's guests were not made
public, but both were badly injured
The machine was almost a complete
wreck. New York Tribune.

Two Killed by Auto.

Speed eaters and joy-riders"
will doubtless feel encouraged at the
result of recent automobile race in
Indianapolis. Two American records
were broken, but at what cost A
driver and his mechanic were killed
outright, having lost control of their
madly-rushing machine. The driver $
racing partner collapsed and required
the services of physician. One of the
record-breakers was led into the hospi-
lal almost blinded from tar and dust.
Another mechanician was suddenly
taken i'll and had to be carried to hos
pital, and a driver fell from his seat in
a dead faint. All this in one afternoon,
and still the report says, in spite of ac-
cidents, the race teemed with dramatic
incidents. Evidently so, but why should
American citizens be shocked at Span
ish bull-fght, when such gruelling con-
tests as the foregoing are condoned and
encouraged? Has the American sport
ing spirit so degenerated that it de-
mands such sacrifice of human life ?
When will this record breaking mania
be appeased Rutland Herald.

Battleboro, Aug. 20. AS the result
of an automobile accident which occur
ed at Spofford Lake, N H., shortly
after four clock this afternoon A. H.
Forbush, a Boston broker, lies uncon-
scons at the Brattleboro Memorial hos
pital with but slight chance for recov-
cry.
Mr.. Forbush came to Brattleboro
yesterday to inspect the six cylinder
Ford automobile owned by j. H. Ullery
and which Mr.. Ullery had advertised
for sale. This morning they started
out to test the machine, going to Ches-
terfeld and Spofford Lake about ten
miles from here.
They stopped for dinner at the Pine
Grove Spring hotel at Spofford lake.
About four O'Clock they started on their
return to Brattleboro. Instead of pro-
ceeding directly to Brattleboro they
turned down a side road along the shore
of the lake and stopped at the cottage of
Lynn d. Taylor of Brattleboro. Mr..
Ullery left the engine running at the
neutral and got out of the machine to
speak to some one at the Taylor cottage
and Mr.. Forbush, who claimed to be
able to run the car, said that he thought
he would take short run up the road,
turn around and pick up Mr.. Ullery on
his way back.
Before Mr. Ullery could utter pro-
test Mr.. Forbush had started the auto
mobile and was travelling along the road
| about eight miles an hour, When he
had proceeded for about 20 rods the on
lockers saw the machine suddenly
swerve and barely grazing large pine
tree it tore over the bank aud dropping
to the beach rolled over into the lake.
The bank at this point is about eight
feet high and as the machine went over
it turned complete summersault and
Mr.. Forbush was pinned under the car,
the back of the seat falling upon his
neck.
DR.. F. H. O'Connor of Brattleboro,
who happened to be close to the scene
of the accident, rushed to his assistance.
Several people removed the machine
from the PROSTATE man and he was car
ried to Mr.. Taylor's garage where the
doctors work ed over him for two hours
without restoring him,to consciousness.
He was badly bruised and although
his neck was not broken it is feared
that his brain and head was injured so
badly that he cannot live. Rutland

FOUR KILLED.
Three Women Visitors at Seattle
Exposition.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 20. Four occu-
pants of an automobile were killed to-
day when their machine plunged over a
bank and, turning turtle crushed them
underneath. The dead are

Miss Maggie Paul, Vancouver, B. c.

The automobile was speeding along
Tide-Flats lane at high rate when it
suddenly swerved and crashed against
the railroad which was all that sepa-
rated them from a drop of twenty feet.
The railing furnished little resistance
to the fast moving car, and the automo-
bile dropped to the foot of the embank
ment, turning over in its fall. The oc-
cupants were crushed and lived but a
short time. Barre Times.

STOPPED HORSE.
Animal Frightened by Auto Horn
at Fifth Avenue Scatters
Pedestrians.

Frightened by an automobile horn at
10th street and Fifth avenue, last night,
horse took the bit in his teeth and was
soon beyond the control of the driver,
Anthony Father, of No. Sc Varch
street. The animal ran west, narrowly
missing vehicles and pedestrians,
and was brought to a stop only
when within twenty feet of the
North River, after having left in his
path a trail of damaged wagons and ex-
hausted policemen.
Sitting on his horse at Sixth avenue
and 49th street, Patrolman Beck saw
the runaway bearing down on a crowd
of people returning from work. He
spurred his mount to the middle of the
street and prepared to stop the runaway,
Beck apparently had not considered the
force with which the animal was NOV
ing, for when he reached for the bride
he was thrown from his own mount and
dragged.
At ninth avenue the horse ran into a
heavy ice wagon. The shock wrecked
the delivery wagon. The horse thus
freed of its burden, dashed madly on,
needless of all efforts to stop him, until
Joseph Schultz, hardy longshoreman,
grasped the bride and hung all his
weight from it. New York Tribune.

Two Racers Lose Lives.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 20. - Two
lives were lost and two records broken
during the inauguration of the Indian
apolis motor speedway yesterday Will
liam A. Borque. driver of the Knox car,
in the $50 mile race, and Harry Hol-
comb, his mechanician, We're killed in
the frenzied carnival of speed.
Barney Oldfeld, driving high pow
cred Benz car, covered mile in 43 lilo,
breaking De Palma's mark of 81, and
Louis Chevrolet in a Buick negotiated
10 miles in the marvellous time of 1856
40, cutting Oldfeld's time of 9:l2
The Knox ear was in second place
with Burnham in his Buick leading. He
had covered nearly $50 miles when the
crash came. Coming down the home
stretch the car suddenly swerved and
tore into the fence at the left of the
track, turning completely over and pin
ming its two occupants beneath it.
Both men We're alive when taken from
under the ll-fated machine, but Bourque
died IN the ambulance on the way TO the
Emergency hospital. Holcomb lived a
few minutes longer but was dead soon
after arriving at the hospital.
Theories as to the cause of the acct
dent vary and no one will ever know
what really caused the car to swerve
from the track. According to wtnes.
of the accident something caused both
men to suddenly turn and look behind
AS they did so the steering wheel slipped
from Bourque's hands and he threw his
arms helplessly in the air. Then came
the crash. One of the rear wheels was
found few hundred feet from the scene
of the accident and this has led to the
belief that the axle nuts had not beer
properly frightened. Barre Times.

POLE FLIGHT FAILS
Second Attempt Spoiled by Acciden
to Wellman's Airshp

Spitzbergen, Aug. 15.-Via Ham
merfest. Aug. 23.-Walter Welman's
second attempt to sail over the north
pole in a balloon has resulted in a
failure.
The giant dirigible balloon America.
in which Welman and his party of
three set out on their perilous flight
today, met with a mishap after it had
proceeded about thirty-two miles from
the starting point.
The leather guide rope, to which was
attached 1000 pounds of provisions
and stores, broke away just as the
airship was nearing the pack ice of
North Spitzbergen.
Wellman and his party succeeded in
making a landing without injury to
any member, and returned to this
point on board the steamer Fran,
which also towed in the disabled
balloon.
