Five Hurt in Auto Wreck.

John S. Mackay, former Assistant
Prosecutor of Hackensack, and four
other men were injured when the au-
tomobile in which they were riding
hit a big stone in Terrace avenue and
overturned. The four with Mr.. Mac
kay were Henry Roster, a hotelkeep-
er, of Hasbrouck Heights; John Nit
chell, Of Hasbrouck Heights, and
Emil Ansler and Henry Umbach, of
Carlsbad. All five were caught I'M
der the machine. Mitchell managed
to extricate himself from the wreck
and tried to release the others, but
finding his efforts in vain aroused a
number of persons living in the
neighborhood, who went to his aid.
The most seriously hurt were Mr..
Roster and Mr.. Mackay. Both were
taken to the Hackensack Hospital.
1t was feared that Mr.. Rosters skull
is fractured. Mr.. Mackay was suffer-
ing from conclusion and shock. UNI
bach's lips were split and several
stitches had to be put in them at the
hospital. Ansler and Mitchell were
bruised and cut, but they and UNI
bach went home after their injuries
had been dressed.

Washington, D. Captain Cas-
par H. Conrad, Of the Quartermaster's
department of the army, has suggest
ed a new method of marking horses
in order to enable the War Depart
ment to keep a record of them. Fol
several years the hoofs of the animals
have been numbered This method,
however, has not been satisfactory be-
cause of the fact that the number Of
ten wears off the hoof and is obliter-
ated in other ways. Captain Conrad's
scheme is to tattoo the number on the
inside of the animals lip. This sys-
tenn is in practice in the Quartermas-
ter's department of the army of Great
Britain.
1t is probable, however, that the
humane societies of the country will
raise objections to the proposed plan
of tattooing numbers on the lips OF
army horses. John P. Heap, secretary
of the local humane society, had this
comment to make on the subject:
81 cannot speak for the executive
committee and / cannot reach them
at this season to learn their views, but
it is my belief that the members
would disapprove any such system as
this. l would like to have data ON

society for action, because it would
be necessary that we know how much
pain is inflicted upon the animals
when they are subjected to such
marking, and what results are
achieved by it,"
Discussing the subject, DR.. A. D.
Melvin, chief of the Bureau of Animal
Industry of the Department of Agri-
culture, said that the method of tat
tooing letters, numbers and other de-
signs inside the upper lips of horses is
one of the plans being considered to
secure permanent marking of such
animals.
"a system of this sort is now being
followed in the marking of English
army horses DR.. Melvin continued,
land / understand it is considered a
decided success. A similar scheme is
used in this country for marking reg
istered cattle, only with cows and
steers the t~attooing is done in the
ear"
DIR. Melvin explained that the tat
tooing need not be very painful to the
animal because it car easily be done
with a pincer-like punch, on which all
the needles are linked at once and the
mark placed in the lip with n oper-
alton.

Washington, D. C.-The total num-
Der of persons killed on or by railroad
trains in the year ended June 80,
1909, was 1922, and 1886 persons
were injured, according to an abstract
of railway statistics made public by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. OF those killed outright, only
253 were passengers, as against 3S1
passengers killed the previous year;
1914 were trespassers on the road,
and the remaining 1926 killed were
railway employees.
To passengers the greatest cause of
injury seems to have been derailment
or collisions. In this way Sc passen-
gers were killed and 1905 injured.
In the whole year, the report states,
1 passenger was killed for every
3,523,606 carried, while the injured
averaged / to every 86,458 carried.
The indications are that railroad ira
vel is becoming less dangerous with
the installation of improved safety
devices.
The statistics for the year show an
increase of 1915 miles of single track
ing in the United States, mostly scat
tered through the West and South,
while the increase in mileage of
tracks of all sorts is 8705. On June
80, 1909, the report shows, a single
track mileage in the United States of
236,868; 2O,949 miles of second
track, 2169 miles of third tracking.
The increase in locomotives over
the year previous was 479, the total
number in operation on June 80,
1909, being returned as 57,212. OF
these about 1900 were classified as
passenger engines and about $4,000
as freight engines. The total number
of cars in operation showed a reduc-
ton of 1901 under the returns OF
the year before, this year the total
number being 2,218,2S0.
The total number of persons on the
pay rolls of the steam roads in the
United States was on June 80, 1903,
1902, 1923, or an average of 63S per-
sons to every 100 miles of road. These
figures show an increase in the total
number of employees of 66,54S over
the previous year.

Sentence Sermons on Faith.

No man ever broke faith with man
who did not first break faith with
God.
No man ever kept faith with God
and deceived his fellow men. No
matter what a man has. if he lacks
faith. he lacks all; if he can't be
trusted. the more brilliant, powerful,
successful he is, the more he is to be
dreaded. The one fruitful source OF
failure in business and social life is
unfaithfulness. 1t disintegrates the
home. The bonds which hold homes
in peace are eaten off by the acid OF
unfaithfulness. Fruit shows the sap;
work proves the words
Faithfulness is the fruit and out
working of faith. "Show thy faith by
| thy works" Our claim is that We are
| saved by faith in Jesus Christ, but a
| faith which does not make faithful is
not a saving faith. You trust Christ,
| but do men trust you?
No subtler temptation can come TO
man than to use Gods given power
for self. Many break down right

appointing them. but to self. Fol

Rural Justice Up on Law.

If Justice John Beach, of Clinton,
does live in the country he knows the
law. This fact was proved when a
big touring car stopped in front of
the Beach farmhouse and a young
man asked to see the squire. The
latter was in the barnyard milking
cows. I'VE want to get married"
said a pretty nineteen-year-eld girl,
when the justice came out. Every
thing was in readiness for the cere-
mony, when Justice Beach asked for
the license. License? You don't
need it in this place, do you?" asked
the would-be bridegroom. You GER
tainly do if you want me to tie the

pie admitted that they did not think
persons working on farms ever read
