The Bible for lie PIaYwrighl.

Charles Ram Kenneiy's plays, The
Wnterfeast' and The Servant in the
House show the literary influence
upon their author Of the Bible. While
this is. no doubt. due partly TO the
early training of Mr.. Kennedy, yet
there is room TO believe that most
EugliShmen are better acquainted with
Bible-reading than are Americans
Tt seems that the priest I'm "The
Wiuterfeast" startled one reader by
his remark that he would not die
chiIdless. THAT Old renar!. about sin
c0uceiying and bringing forth death
doesn't seem TO occur TO people, says
Mr.. Kennedy. THAT is the priests
way of saying, Il have brought death
upon your household. TragicaIIy
speaking. it is hate that enEendeTs the
child, death. ] wonder whether people
nalf read their Bibles?''

PROGRESS ON NEW YORKS'
GREAT WATERWAY.

The report of the State engineer of
New York serves to remove the i'm
preston that the State Is not doing
any work on the Erie canal. He saws
that contracts amounting to S350O0.OOO
have been let This is a third OF the
total estimated cost OF the canal. and
indicates that progress Is being made.
The important matter is that the CON
tracts awarded thus far have been let
for a million or more less than the
engineers estimates.
This Is one of the greatest works
ever undertaken by "a single State, and

DEATH TOLL WAS HIGH.

son Killed on Steam Roads.

The death toll in the wreck Of two
dnteruHban cars on the Chicago Lake
Shore and South Bend line at Ches-
terton in june has placed the inter
urban roads OF the state ait great dis
advantage in a comparative statemen;
cG faF@lqties for April, May and june.
as shown III the accident report tor
that quarter, which is soon to be is
sued by the Indiana railroad commits
seon Eleven 81 the twelve passengers
Killed by interu,0ans during the omar
ter were killed at Chesterton. For
the same quarter the steam roads
Killed only enc passenger.
\ comparison ,of the report for the
quarter just ended with the repor.
Tor the corresponding quarter OF
1905 shows the Following: The cas-
ualueS to passenges on steam road
passenger trains declined from 35 to
% or more than 30 per cent. The cas-
ualties to passengers on freight trains
Increased from two to seven; those
hurt in collisions dropped from two
to one.
X Similar comparison for the
quarters respecting interurban roads
shows a frightful increase OF casual
;des, says the report. I'm the cor
responding quarter OF 1905 there was
a total OF So, as against "a total of So
ter the quarter just ended, an in
crease OF go per cnt. Those injured
IN collisions sprang from seven in
1905, an increase OF over 200 per cent.
The deaths were twelve as against
none for the corresponding quarter
of last year 1t should be noted, how
ever, that the figures do not show
general and proportionate distribu-
tion OF grave accidents over all the
electric lines OF the state, but the
most serious results were confined to
a few roads"
