\ NARROW ESCAPE.

Lord Decies, the husband of Miss
NiVen Gould, was talking in New
York about American cab fares.
They seem to be intended only for
the rich," he said. 81 was amused
by a cabby who, after a drive that
would have cost a shilling in London,
said:
you're an Englishman, sir, and
so I'll only charge you s2.'
HE made me think of a lawyer
who having won a case involving 100
pounds, kept so for his fee, and said,
as he handed over the balance of 20
pounds to his client:
"I am your friend, sir. 1 can't
charge you my full fee. I knew your
father
Thank goodness said the client
warmly that you didn't know my
grandfather

SARAH BERNHART GUEST
 OF NATIONAL PRESS CLUB.
Lauds Panama Canal as Monument to l
 American Energy and Grit.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Sarah Bern hart, who was the guest of honor at the annual ladies' day reception at the National Press club today, lauded the construction of the Panama canal as a great achievement that would be @ monument to the energy and grit of the American people," She declared that inasmuch as she had gone to Pan anna with Count De Lesseps to cele- brate the turning of the first sod for the canal, she desired to take part in the celebration in 1915 of the comple- tion of the great waterway and would return to America at that time.
 Madame Bernhart was presented to the club by M. Jesserand, the French ambassador, who characterized her sas one of the imperishable glories of her country
 Nowhere Better Understood Than Here
 '"The United States have grown said Madame Bernhart in responding, since I first came here. grown in power and grown in wealth Your po- litica1 and commercial development has been the wonder of the civilized world, but I am here to tell you that they have not outstripped your appre- citation of things artistic. The more appear before the American people the more am impressed by their great love of things beautiful, by their true enjoyment of that art which lays bare the soul of things as they are. Mo- where have been inspired to greater efforts than in this free and great country; nowhere have met with more fattering receptions and nowhere have felt myself better understood" :"

no death limit being fixed. A few were in favor of a limit.
 B. P. Arvine of Bristol believed that a limitation should be fixed by statute. above which or below which a jury would not be allowed to go. He be- lieved that there is no means by which the value of a mans life can accurate Iy be fixed.
 Mayor Dunn of Wiliimantic said he believed there would be no limit whatever. He thought this would have a tendency to mako manufactur- CTS more careful in caring if for their i help and inspecting the condition of their plants. He did Aet~believe that jury would award an outrageous amount because a victim happened to be wealthy, but would be fair in all cases. He believed the limit should be removed.
 Hartford Man Speaks for Himself.
 Edward Rozelle of Hartford. repre- senting himself, said he wanted to ask that the pledges of both parties ought to be lived up to. He thought he was just as valuable to his seven children as President Taft, was to his family. and did not think, either, that mans s life could be valued in dallars and cents. He wants the present statute repealed. Attorney Arthur l.. Sllipman of Hart ford said: 9To measure the value of one mans life by that of another is carrying the insurance idea to the point of absurdity. Some men are worth little or nothing to their fam lilies, while the value of other men to theirs can be measured only by a very great sum.
 ator Judson declared the hearing clos ed No date was fixed for another hearing, but 1t is presumed that such will be held.

No One On Either Side Hurt In First Battle

foot arrived breathtess after if waa all over, except for an occasional Viva Madero' echoing from the hills. The .'revoltosos'' resumed tho inter- rupted task of watering the horses. Through Cactus, Soap Weed and
 Bouiders.
 At the alarm of the automobilist. as the federals marched out, the whole mountainside awoke to life. At two looked like insects making their way on all fours to avoid bullets, through the maze of cactus, soap weed, sage brush and boulders. It was about two o'clock this afternoon when Col- onel Rabago marched out the river force opened fire when the foot sol-s diers appeared on d crest about six hundred yards distant.
 FederaIs Soon Retreat.
 The federals halted in a compact mass, but escaped injury because tho thirty thirty carried by the rovo- lutionists are not effective at that dis tance. They returned the fire for fif- teen minutes They then turned and ed men of the federals did not come within range.
 The sightseers on the American side bear witness to the celerity of the retreat, for the federals were in full view for nearly mile.
 Tired of Eating Goat Meat.
 The skirmish had been over for an hour when an insurrectionist, clutch ing a five peso bill in his hand, crossed to the American side. He had been sent to buy dinner for Orozco. who had had surfeit of goat meat. A soldier turned him back, fearing that he wished to purchase anmunitions Again on the Mexican side he en- countered some newspaper men who guaranteed the innocence of his nn1s | sion. He bought his supplies under their supervision and was sent back, grinning. The rebel force consists entirely oe mounted infantry. Those not with Orozco are near Bauchs, or on scout I the federal troops, there are no women camp followers with the insurrectos- Wor.en Forage For Feder.is. Y President Diaz has no organized commissary. In it's place there are the women. Each soldier gets few centavos a day to buy food. This they tuTn over to the women who for- age the country, cook tortillas. if they are able to buy corn, and provide jerked beef. More often than not. the women have children with them. They are officially recognized by the war department, which furnished them passage on troop trains. Two of them were killed at Bauche. It was a spectacle both ludicrous and pathetic today to see do8en of them, mostly barefoot. running after the troops as they advanced toward the rebel camp. Their faces bore evi~ dences of anxiety, as most of them are bound for, what serves as matrf> mony to the men in the ranks. There is no danger or privation they will not face. Residents of Mexico declare also that they are more cruel than their men folk, and that it is they who usually strip the dead, commo4 practice.

Fl Paso, Texas, Feb. 1.-The first battle of Juarez between federal troops and insurrectionists was exhib- ited today. "Exhibited'' is the proper word, for no one on either side was hurt, and the exhibition was viewed by a thousand or more Fl Pasoans who lined the banks of the Rio Grande on the American side about three miles west of Fl PasO.
 The exchange of missiles lasted about fifteen minutes and about two hundred shots were fired. According to Orozco leader of the insurrectos, his men fired only fifty of these. He declared that the federals got away so fast that they were out of range before more shots could be fired at them.
 Orozco Awaits Blanco's $50 Men.
 Tonight the federals are behind the walls of the Cathedral of Guadeloupe, of the barracks and of the bull ring at Juarez, across the river from here. OrOzcO remains in possession of the position which he occupied at noon and held against the federal advance. He declared i'll an interview with the Associated Press correspondent that he firmly intended to attack Juarez, but that he awaits the arrival of Gen. eraI BlancO with $50 men. He ex- poets the latter any moment.
 Orozco's present force around Juarez numbers under 500 men, probably 500. Of these 320 were with him in the skir- mich this afternoon. The federal forces by actual count number 1S4, including 100 foot soldiers and S4 infantry. They took with them no artillery, and Oroz- co has none.
 The insurrecto leader and his men spent last night at Rancho Flores, usually inhabited by a few horses and herd of goats, which tine rebels took.
 Correspondents on orozco's Trail.
 Orozco quit the ranch during the morning, and by moving through the deep arroyos which scar the desert river there he reached a new position on the hills along the river across the Fl Paso Snlelter. Here the cores pondents, who had been on his trail since daybreak, discovered him.
 He and six of his lieutenants met the visitors half way up the boulder strewn mountain side. He carried a rife, like his men. He looked care worn but determined. He answered questions only after deliberation, and often evasively.
 Expressed Wish for "square MeaI.' Orqzco was of no mind to betray his plans. He borrowed some ink for his fountain pen,S and also writ ing tablet He expressed a wish to visit Fl Paso to get a square meal
 His 320 men were scattered along the hills for ree-quarters of mile Some of them had their horses on the other side of the range. watering from the river. Some one leaving Fl Paso in an automobile coincident with the departure of the federals from Juarez under Colonel Rabago gave them the rebel warning. Making his trumpet with his hands, the Fl Pasoan shout ed: Get busy, troops are coming. r. Autos To See the Fight. The scout machine was quickly fol- lowed by scores of others, each with load, many of the passengers being women. Others came on horseback in carriages and express wagons, on hay rakes and bicycles and hundreds by the street car line, which runs out to the shelter. Other hundreds on
