Incidentally, in this connection. while Mr.
Cutter and his friend are getting their
breath, II is we'll to relate that the night
tefore Mr.. Cutter was awakened by a noise
in his house and when he numbered out OF
bed he heard a burglar get out Of the front
roIm m, The house had been completely
ransacked and everything loose had been
carried away.
Naturally, when Mr.. Cutter saw his
furnace gone, he became very much ratified
IL was cruel enough for burglars 10 take
bed clothing and other household neces-
stiles, but to take a furnace was simply
beyond his power 10 grasp. He murmured

lishmeats mad orders 70 remove an old
furnace an Fourteenth and Q streets and
replace II with a new one The Gutter

More Trouble Expected

Insurgents in Chihuahua and Durango
Are Well Supplied with Guns
and Ammunition.

ELPASO, Tex, Nov. 2.-AccordinR to
the staff correspondents OF the r. Paso
Herald, who returned here last night, there
IS every prospect OF further trouble in the
affected districts of Chihuahua and Dur

the natives in that part of Mexico are

those not openly supporting the revolu-
tiOnists are passive. They also state that
the revolutionist army is not made up of
poems and bandits as has been reported
but consists OF native railroad employees
farmers mechanics and others The in
surrectos appear to have plenty Of arms
and ammunition and seem to have plenty
Of money behind them.
Both correspondents agree that the in
surrectos have not been conquered, but
only driven into the mountains. Desuitory
fighting is expected to continue and there
have been several small fights within the
iast few days.
w. W. King. a resident OF Gomez Pal
AGO. declares he saw the bodies OF four
Mexican soldiers brought in from the
mountains near Gomez PalaciO last Fri
day. Confirmation has been received Of
report that revolutionists tore up rail-
road tracks west Of Parral on Thursday
and prevented repairs being made. Con-
hrmaton was also secured OF the report
OF a battle at MRnaquipa, near the Nor
mon colonies on Wednesday. Further
news Is 20 the effect that there was fight
Ing at FL Vale between ManaQuipa an6

are sad TO be in great fear OF an attack.

PARLIAMENT IS DISSOLVED
Cabinet Appeals to Country on PrOpO

SPEECH FROM THRONE IS BRIEF

Expression of Regret that an
Agreement Was Not

ward VII, which met on February 10 last,
was dissolved today in pursuance Of the
program of the liberal government to go
before the country on the question Of the
prerogatives Of the House Of Lords.
The kings speech was notable for its
brevity, the only reference to the consti-

of regret that the conference between the
leaders OF the opposing controlling parties
had failed OF an agreement over the re-
formation Of the upper chamber.

Todays dissolution of Parliament brings

COMMON HEROISM.

Charles Driver. a street car motor
man OF Washington. died 10 save his
passengers.
More than 1000 volts of electricity
charged through his body when he
heroically dragged live wire away
from passengers who were threatened.
1t happened in this way:
Drivers car had been stopped where
overhead repairs on a bridge were i'm
progress The passengers had left the
cars and were walking about. A cou-
pie OF young women approached too
near the sputter.ng wire.
Driver saw the danger. He leaped
forward, brushed the girls aside and
with newspaper in his hands seized
the wire. The current hurled him
backward against his car and his cloth
ing burst into flames
The scores OF people were Mortified
at the spectacle Some one spranc for.
ward and put out the flames with a
coat Driver was borne to the Poto.
mac rivoS near by, where water was
thrown upon him. Being removed to
a hospital, he died after a night of in
tense agony.
And the reporter says he left a wife
and three-weeks-old baby
lie died TO save others.
Which is the sublimest height of her
oism known to men or angels.
What ask you to note in connection
with the heroism OF this motorman
and his sacrificial death Is this:
Such incidents are happening daily.
One might gather from similar stories
recorded in the newspapers during a
single year material for a great vol
ume.
The heroism of everyday life and of
the average man is sufficient TO make
one who contemplates It a lover of his
KIND. Along. with its meanness aSl its
cruelty there is so much in our com
mon life that is Christlike.
The fagther back you go in history
the less heroism and self sacrifice YOU
find.
The dying Sidney pushed the cup of
water from his lips and, pointing to n
soldier, said: "Give 1t to him. His
need Is greater than mine" But the
incident was rare in Sidney's day, and
history makes much of 1t.
But
Today men and women are always
doing deeds as heroic as that of Sid
ney- Especially is this true of the men
who operate our lines OF transporta-
ton.
The railroads and the electric cars
have not merely one Sidney, but q
thousand and one.
