The trains were the Cincinnati Sec
ton of the Twentieth Century limited
on the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago
and st. Louis railroad (Big Four) and
the second section of freight train
on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day
ton road.
The latter was attempting to make
a siding to give the passenger train
clear track when the flying limited,
travelling at a rate of so miles an
hour, flashed around curve and
crashed into it. The Big Four train
had detoured to avoid blocked track
on that road at Genoa, few miles
south of here, caused by a freight
wreck earlier in the day. In addition
to its regular crew, it carried pilot
engineer of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton road, who was practically
in charge of the train.
A misunderstanding Of orders caused
the disaster, which was one Of the
worst that this section of the country
has ever experienced. The crash when
the trains met was terrific, the freight
being made up of coal cars, fat cars
and box cars loaded with lumber.
Relief trains were made up at each
of these places and the injured were
placed upon them and sent to hospitals
in those cities.

oLD-AGE PENSIONS.

The expected has happened. A bill
for olG-age pensions has been intro
duced in the house of representatives.
The introducsr is William Bauchop
miner, former International secretary
of the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca, VINO now makes a living for his
ten children on u farm, when he is not
lucky enough to be drawing repre-
sentative's salary. says Brooklyn
Eagle. The provisions of the bill give
over the age of sixty-five who has
neither property worth $1,000 nor an
income of over $240 a year. Modesty
is to be expected of an entering
wedge. But Wilson's measure is too
modest by half. This is a rich coun-
try. How can it expect person over
on $120 a year? If the old-age pension
in each case were fixed at, say $4,000
year, more money would be put In
circulation and anyone would have a
motive for seeking longevity. Nobody
would bV silly enough to nurse thrift
or to pursue industry any farther than
would be needed to keep life going till
the age of sixty-five should be reached.
For that matter, why not make the age
forty? This is an era of humanitarian
experimentation.

of President Cleveland's first term
Justice Fuller declared this law uncon-
stitutional. On this decision the court
was equally divided, and the chief JUS
tice cast the deciding vote. The deci-
sion reversed the presidents of nearly
100 years, and it has been severely
criticized.
Justice Fuller was practicing law in
Chicago when named for the Office Of
chief ustice. He had been active in
Democratic politics in Illinois for
many years. In 1852 he was mem
Der of the state constitutional conven-
ton; in 1863 to 1866 he was in the
state legislature; he served as dele
gate to the Democratic national con-
ventions in 1864, 1872, 1876 and 1880.
He was born In Augusta, Me-, Feb.
II, 1888. He graduated from Bowdoin
college in 1853 and received honorary
degrees from Northwestern university,
Yale and Dartmouth.
He invested early in down town real
estate in the city of Chicago and thus
acquired considerable wealth. His
first wife was Calista o. Reynolds and
his second wife was Mary e. Cool
baugh, the daughter Of an Iowa bank
er. He was known in Chicago and lat
er in Washington as the father Of q
large and interesting family.
Justice Fuller continued to hold Of
fee after he had reached an age at
which he might have retired, and he
resented holly any suggestion that he
should make way for younger man.
The well known desire of President
Roosevelt to fill the place occupied by
Chief Justice Fuller made the latter
extremely angry, and it was his boast
that he would live and hold office long
enough to see that somebody other
than Mr.. Roosevelt filed his place.
Justice Fuller was a sticker for all
the formalities and traditions OF the
court

The mosquito season is at hand, and
New Jersey, where the Objectionable
insect most abounds, is moving in the
matter of destroying the pest. Bayonne
is one of the towns in which energetic
and organized action has been taken.
Infested sections are to be oiled and
ditched, and it is believed that by the
methods employed millions of larvae
will be killed and thus grave conse-
quences will be averted. 1t has been
shown that combined and systematic
effort, incluaing the most scientific
means of fighting the evil, can be very
effective, and New Jersey, which has
been a great sufferer from the ravages
of the mosquito, may add vastly TO
health and comfort by general war
aimed at exterminating the mos
quito.

Crossing the English channel in an
airship semes to have become almost
a habit. Louis Bleriot led the way
nearly year ago and r7as followed by
Jacques de Lesseps May 81 last. Both

they flew from France to England.
Now Charles Stewart Rolls, an Eng
lishman, has made the trip from Eng

In this particular line of achievement.

The movement for the devising of
sanitary rules for all passenger trains
and railroad stations is not aimed at
the carrying operations, because it
originated among them, and was sug-
gested by DR.. w. A. Apologize, chief
surgeon Of the Southern railway. The
railroads have always been leaders in
promoting the safety and comfort of
the travelling public, and they will CO
operate earnestly with the United

Is Cuba to furnish the means of
safeguarding the forests and producing
paper at moderate cost? 1t is an
nounced from that island that expert
ments in manufacturing paper from
sugar-cane fiber have proved entirely
successful, and that the product can
be turned out at much less cost than
from wood pulp. OF course the cane is
what is left after the sugar has been
extracted, and thus another by-product
comes into play. 1t has also been as
serted that American cornstalks may
be converted into paper. AS there il
practically an unlimited supply of such
material, making good the assertion
should be a very important step in
conservation.

Dispatches from Seattle report an
almost unprecedented rush to the gold
fields of Alaska. This does not look
as though there were general accept
ance of that story that Scranton al
chemist has discovered a method of
transmitting baser materials into gold

would inevitably minimize the value
of the yellow and white metals. In
short, the modern prospector or specu-
lator has no use for the philosophers
stone, so eagerly sought by the an
