ENGINEER AT FAULT
Failed to Observe Danger Signals and
Derailment Resulted

Boston, Feb. THE derailing of
an express train from Boston for Port
land last Wednesday night at Scar
boro Crossing, Me, was due to the
failure of the engineer to observe the
danger signals, according to Super
intendent c. E. Lee. 1t vas at first
reported hat a broken rail was prob
ably the cause of the accident.
The accident was solely due to the
failure of the trains locomotive engin-
eer to. obey the home and distant in

A FIGHTING PARSON
He Defies Church Authorities by
Whom He Was Deposed

Bethel, Conn, Feb. Stocked out
Of St. Thomas Episcopal church 5,
from the rectorship of which he had
been deposed by the bishop, Rev. NJ.
7. Bowie conducted services Sunday
from the front steps of the edifce to
fifteen of his followers in the parish
and a large number of onlookers.
The trouble between Bowie and part
Of his flock became so acute two
months ago that the matter was taken
before Bishop Brewster and the do
cese council and the rector deposed
and ordered to move from the rectory
on Feb. /. Bowie refused to move or
give up the keys to the church, and
legal notice vas served, ordering him
to vacate. He paid no attention to the
notice and the locks on the church
doors were changed.
1t is understood that other legal
steps will be taken to remove the de-
posed rector and his belongings from
the rectory.

SHAKE IN BOTTLE.
Tells the Readers of This Paper
How to Prepare the Mixture at
Home and Other Advice.

Now is the time when the doctor gets
busy, and the patent medicine manufac-
turers reap the harvest, unless great care
is taken to dress warmly and keep the
feet dry. This is the advice of an old
eminent authority who says that Rheu-
matism and Kidney trouble weather is
here, and also tells what to do in case of
an attack.
Get from any good prescription phar-
macy one-half ounce Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kar-
gon, three ounces Compound Syrup
S%arsaparilla. Mix by shaking in a bot
tie and take a %teaspoonful after meals
and at bedtime.
Just try this simple homemade mix
ture at the first sign of Rheumatism,
or if your back aches or you feel that
the kidneys are not acting just right.
This is said to be a splendid kidney
regulator, and almost certain remedy
for all forms of Rheumatism, which Is
caused by uric acid in the blood, which
the kidneys fail to filter out. Any one
can easily prepare this at home and at
small cost.
Druggists in this town and vicinity,
when shown the prescription. stated
that they can either supply these ingre-
dients, or, if our readers prefer, they
will compound the mixture for them.

ARRESTS OF HUB DRINKS
Police Statement Regarding Them
Gives RevivaIists a Bio Surprise

Boston, Feb. 10.-The evangelists
who are at the head of the big revival
which is now going on in this city
were surprised last night when there
issued from police headquarters a
typewriter statement which shows
that during last week there were
more arrests for Drunkenness in this
city than on the corresponding week
or last year. Why it was issued at all
was puzzling to them.
The amazement of the evangelists
was all the greater, because they had
been led to believe that, as in all
other cities they visited, arrests had
diminished greatly.
The only explanation advanced by
the police authorities for giving out
the statement at this time relative to
drunkenness was that it had been
asked for by a clergyman interested
in the revival.

PREVENTION OF DISEASE.

The prevention of disease as well as
the cure thereof is now being given con-
siderable attention. Professor Irving
Fisher has written book entitled A
Report on National Vitality" which has
Just been issued by the government
printing office. Professor Fisher has
spent ten years in gathering material
for this work, now for the first time
made public.
In the connection OF national waste in
lives Professor Fisher shows that there
are 5000, 900 persons ueedlcssly and con-
tinuously i'll in the United States and
that this condition might wen be pre-
vented by strict attention to even the
simplest hygienic measures. He shows,
also, that tuberculosis alone is respon-
sible for 100000 persons continually ST.,
and that it is entirely possible chat this
scourge be wiped out within one geuer-
alton. Typhoid alone costs the country
$3.50, 100000 and this Is a disease that
can wholly be wiped out by attention
TO neglected details. In support of this
statement, and showing what can be
done in an individual instance, the au-
thor cites the case of the city of Law
renee, Mass, which. by the introduction
of a new water supply, reduced this
typhoid mortality by over so per cent.
II is shown by carefully gathered data
that malaria costs the country S1OO. 900. 70
600. and that this is wholly. preventable,
as instanced by the action of several
cities that undertook, with successful
issue. the elimination of the malaria
mosquito.
Professor Fisher believes that the sit
uation could be easily remedied. and
quotes Professor T. :. Lambart, who. in
his Sources of Longevity" asserts
shat it costs no more TO raise a man
capable Of living eighty years than it

MUNICIPAL FINANCES.

Publicity in municipal affairs and a
movement for better municipal account
ing is attracting the attention of
thoughtful citizens the country over. An
analysis of the finances of las cities of
the United States having over 10000 in
habitants each has recently been made
by J. ". Howard for the American So
cioty of Municipal improvements. The
facts were drawn from the census bull
Ietins of the last five years From 1902
to 1907 inclusive, the total revenues of
the AS cities, not including borrowings
rose from $S2S.509. 429 to s42O. 637. 500. The
tax per capita rose from 1910. in 1902,
to HOS in 1907. The general property
tax rose from 1905 in 1902. to 14.G7 in
1907. All the other taxes. including spe-
cial property taxes, pOlltax, alcohol tax.
alcohol selling license tax, permits. and
so on, increased slightly. The total per
capita tax increase of s1.SS in five years
was equivalent to per capita increase
Of Il cents per year.
The New York Independent in ccm-
menting upon the figures given by Mr..
Howard, says:
The total expenditures increased from
S-l2,6l6.3l2 in 1852 to S3l3.711 0J2 in 1907. The
per capita increase was from Sl336 IN
1902 to $3.50 in 1891 rate of increase
of 30 cents per inhabtant per year for
five years. The expenditures covered in
this OUTLAY do not include outlaws for
peImament improvements and reduction of
dent, Expenses of general administration,
including expenses OF mayors and alder
men, have been decreasing. while the pO-
lice. correction and charities department
are costing more year by year. Santa
ton and schools are costing mora wise
increase. Streets and paving are cost
ing at the present time less than they
should. the work generally being unSu1-
stantial and inadequate: a mere handing
on Of an increasing BURDEN 10 the future.
The chief item of increasing eXpens is.
as we ar5 prepared to expect that for
the fire departments. American waste
fulness is nowhere more conspicuouSly
manifested than I'm cur enormous annual
loss by fire The fire department figures
of municipal expenditure confirm the con-
illusions long since drawn from insurance
futable facts. we find builders and own
ers persStently fighting every legislative
and administrative attempt 70 secure sub
stantial construction.
This is an era of reform i'm many
ways. An effort is being made to estab-
lish a more just distribution of the taxes
levied for the benefit of the national
government, and also to curb corporate
greed. But it is in the cities where the
greatest amount of reform is being at
tempted alas too often with meager re-
suits considering the amount of time
and energy employed. Much, however,
for better municipal government should
continue until the goal is reached. In
the meantime, the public is entitled to
know in detail how their money is being
expended and the benefits expected To
Be derived from such expenditure. In
10 other way can a tendency toward
extravaganza be checked.
