Home Music.

ITO use the player piano and the re- productive instrument not only for pleasure. but to increase your knowl edge of music, is duty you owe yourself" says o. H. Claudy in the Wo- mans Home Companion. 1.-The imusi- cally ignorant may prefer light opera and march and waltz music to that which they do not understand. yet an evening of light music alone Is much like dinner of dessert alone. If you give a concert at home on player piano or photograph. strive to arrange your programme with some regard to the fitness of things. As the chef in- creases the enjoyment of meat with a sauce, of an entree with 8 sweet side dish. for contrast. 50 can you increase enjoyment of musical program or menu by contrast, by skillful ar. engagement of your numbers and by in termissions If you have several short numbers of the same general charac- ter. play them one after the other without intermission."

WOMEN KILLED WHEN
 SPECIAL IS DERAILED
Eleven DIe as Train Load Of Teachers P,ungeS Over Bank.

A train carrying 165 schoolteachers. friends and relatives. bound from Uti- ca, Syracuse and Waterville, N. T., to Washington, was hurled down a forty foot embankment at Martins Creek. N. J.
 Eleven persons were killed, eight are missing and more than fifty were maimed, crushed or burned in the crash and fire which consumed the five coaches immediately after the ac cident.
 The train was travelling at fifty miles an hour and the passengers were en- toying the early spring scenery along the picturesque Delaware river valley when in taking a curve where men had been repairing the tracks there was a sudden jar and the excursion fists in each car were thrown together in a heap. The locomotive jumped the track, carrying four cars with 1t.
 Hardly had the train come to a stop before fire started and spread so rap idly that some of the imprisoned pas sengers were burned to death.
 As the train left the track 1t side swiped and broke a tank of oil which ran over the wreckage and added to the fury of the flames. The fire start ed at both ends of the train, hot coals from the firebox of the engine startI ing the fire at that end and flames from the stoves in the dining car start. ing the destruction at the rear.
 Physicians were called from every town within a radius of ten miles, and they went to the scene in automobiles and special trains.
 Every farmhouse in the vicinity was quickly transformed into an tmprovis- ed hospital, and farmers wagons were pressed into service as ambulances. Many of the injured remain with the farmers and at Martins Creek hotel
 Willing hands began the work of res cue as soon as they were able, and had it not been for the heroic efforts of the men and women, some of whom were cut and bleeding from their own wounds, the loss of life would have been appalling.
 Unconscious forms were pinioned be- meath the wreckage with the flames leaping toward them, when the less seriously injured, at great risk of their own lives, plunged into the debris. worked the unconscious. victims loose and carried them beyond reach of the flames.
