AUTO is HIT
ON THE ISLAND
Man and Family Escapes
When Struck by Train.

When an automobile owned and
driven by Bernard Connolly, forty
years old, of 1711 Richmond Ter
race, West New Brighton, was struck
by an east bound train on the AM
boy division Of the Staten Island
Rapid Transit at Sea View avenue,
Dongan Hills, shortly after 10
o'clock yesterday morning, Mr.. Con
nelly, his wife and two children, had
a narrow escape from instant death.
When the locomotive struck the car
all were thrown out, but luckily they
landed in some soft sand. Mr.. and
Mrs. Connolly received several Sc
we're cuts and bruises but were able
to go to their home. The machine
had three wheels smashed and it was
otherwise damaged. Mr.. and Mrs.
Connolly left their home about 8
o'clock to take a run around the
island and in attempting to the
railroad tracks did not hear the ap-
proach of the train which was hidden
by some trees. Mr.. Connolly did not
see the train until it was too late.
The train which was due in Totem
Vile at 11.50 O'Clock, was in charge
of Engineer William Smith and Con-
ductor William McAndrews, both of
Tottenville. Engineer Smith applied
his brokes but it was too late to avoid
striking the car.

GRAND CANYON.
An Ideal Place In Which to Realize the
Insisnificsnoe of Man.

An Ideal fl5cc IN Which TO fealixe khe
Insisnificanoe Of Man.
There Is one place in this country
where a man can step back not by
hundreds but by thousands Of years,
back to the time when the continent
was In the making. This place is the
Grand Canyon of Arizona. There the
visitor sees a panorama In q million
colors as the mists gather about the
rugged peaks and the sunlight glistens
on the metallic deposits Of the cliffs.
A whole chaotic world discloses itself.
Rock forms Of uncanny beauty stand
out on those unrivaled cliffs, and far
down runs the river channel.
Stand on some ledge and realize the
insignihcance Of man when compared
with the ~handicraft of nature, watch
a party of travellers threading their
way down some winding trail that
clings to the great wall and see them
grow smaller and smaller until they
become mere specks in the great rift,
then some idea Is gained of this won
derful place. Yet the canyon is so
symmetrical and so unlike anything
else that 1t is with difficulty that one
can acquire any notion Of its immen-
sity. Niagara poured in would hardly
have the dignity of a mountain stream.

The LATEST people.

There is no doubt that the Malays are
among the LATEST people in the world.
Except in rare cases they will not take
the trouble to learn when they are
young, and afterward, If they have
learned, they will not exert themselves
to apply their knowledge to any object
which require q sustained effort.
That they possess effort Is known to
any one who has seen Malays engaged
in any enterprise which savors or
sport. They do not mind the trouble
if there is only some risk and excite
ment in the work.-Times of Malaga.

The language Of Hawaii is very sim.
pie. To n who hears it for the first
time N the conviction hat the alb
origines expressed their sentiments in
primitive vowel sounds, to which some
~cOnsonants have been added. Each
vowel is sounded as in Latin, and the
words are easily pronounced by one
who is patient and wishes to speak
distinctly. The pronunciation will be
all the better if the speaker will draw
out, almost drawl, the vowel sounds,
for which reason the language is well
suited to the doleful Hawaiian wall.
Say Hoo-noo-luu-luu and let the word
sing itself.-Rosary Magazine.

THE ARTISTS IDOL.
She Didn't Know Anything About Mu-
sio; She Only Loved 1t.

She Didn't Know Anything About Mu-
sic; She Only Loved It.
The incident happened upon n OF
the great ocean liners during an au-
tumn trip when a famous violinist was
among the passengers. At first he
firmly refused to play, but was finally
persuaded, and upon the appointed
evening the salon was crowded with
eager passengers.
1t was a most enthusiastic audience,
intelligent, sympathetic and apprecia-
tive, yet as the evening wore on people
began to notice that the violinists
glance went always in one direction,
and after a time others followed 1t.
They saw a plain little woman, plain
~ dressed, with no marks of wealth or
culture. But she was looking at the
master with shining eyes, her face wet
with tears, unmindful of everything
except the magic Of his violin. When
the program was ended, pushing his
way through the people who would
have detained him, the musician went
straight to the little shabby figure.
Madame, I congratulate you-you
are re great artist" he cried.
She looked up at him almost in
alarm.
"I-oh-I cannot play a note" she
stammered. 81 don't know anything
about music. I only-love It,"
The ~violinist shook his big shaggy
head impatiently.
as it not what I say? You have re
artist soul-ze artist to listen. What
good to play to re deaf-like re restT'

lceberqs and Echoes.

Icebergs are always a source Of
worry to the transatlantic steamship
shippers. 1t isn't pleasant to run along
through a fog or a murky night and
smash into one of these floating noun
tains of ice. The liner captains have o
way of finding ice that at first strikes
the landsman as curious. When it is
suspected there are bergs In the neigh
borhood the whistle is kept going. If
there is an echo the navigator slows
down and keeps a sharp eye out, for
echoes don't grow in the open ocean.

Cooking Ham.

Ham is frequently too salt to fry
without previous preparation. Put the
slices In tepid water and let them
stand on the back of the range to
soak out the salt, not to boil, for about
half an hour. Drain dry between tow
els, then fry in a hot spider.
When a whole ham is to be baked
or boiled let 1t stand overnight covered
with cold water. ~l
