HORRIBLE SIGHTS
 FOLLOWING WRECK
fwenty-Six Are Dead and More to Go-Bodics Are Bundled To- gcthcr in Basement of
 a Store.

Manchester, N. r., Aug. 26.-- Twenty-six are dead, half a dozen are lying at deaths door and 63 oth- CTS crowd the hospitals from Can andiagua to Rochester this after noon as result of yesterdays Le- high Valley wreck. A 90-pound rail on a 400 foot bridge spanning the Canandiagua outlet, shattered into II pieces, caused the disaster. The rail showed defects in manufactur- ing.
 Only half of the victims are iden- tiled, all eastern people. Four of the victims are of Rochester. The other 9 lie in the Shortsville morgue in rough pine boxes, await ing Identification and transporta- ton for burial. Steps toward the usual rigid investigation are all ready taken by the public service commission, cOroners and other of iicers.
 Sixteen undertakers worked all night embalming the bodies of vic- tims of the wreck yesterday and re- moving all possible scars made by the wreck. The places selected as morgue was ill adapted for the purpose. It was the basement of a country furniture store about 50 feet long and 9 feet wide. The walls were cluttered up with stock.
 In front small space was af- forded for handling the bodies. As fast as they were brought in they were placed side by side on cheap wire cots. They soon filled the cellar, and in many places two were placed on one cot. A room full of personal effects remains piled up in the Manchester passenger room. On top of the mound, along with a half dozen soft hats of the G. A. R. veterans, is some little girls doll, waiting probably in vain for it's owner to claim it.

SAYS ONE CHILD IS ENOUGH
Sc Declares Olive schrelner In Her New eook--Hard Work Would
 Make Women Much Happier.

Cambridge, Mass.--"One child ip enough for the Twentieth century fam ily." says Olive schreiner in her new book, Woman and Labor"
 The woman who doesn't earn her own living is therefore parasite, ex- cept for that small portion of her time when she is engaged in propa. gating the species. but for that time she should be paid.
 Wherever in the history of a na- tion great numbers of it's women have become parasitic, that nation is on the road to downfall and decay. America is, therefore, on the road to degenera- tion, unless It's women Of leisure can be allowed--or induced-to exchange their vanities for hard labor.
 The human female parasite" the book states further. whether in mod ern Paris or New York. or in ancient Greece. Rome or Assyria, is the wom. an who. relieved of manual labor by the prosperity of her class or nation, or by the invention of labor-saving machinery, will trade on her unused potentialities of motherhood for her support. Unless she can or will en. ter the industrial field or some other line of productive activity she has no right to live on the labors of the male. except fin the primitive or decimated nations. where the duties of mother hood extend over greater period than the half dozen years now neces- sary out of her three score years and ten.
 'The woman of leisure today" shs says. like the hot-house specimen so notorious before the downfall of Rome. who seeks madly by pursuit of pleasure to fill the voil left by the lack of honorable activity. would be far happier if she had plenty of hard work to do. and the race would be correspondingly healthier and more ef- ficient"
