TRACKMAN'S WIFE
SAVES R. R. HEADS
Runs Mile to Flag Train After.
Big Landslide: Two Presi-
dents on Filler
Special TO The Telegraph

Port Jervis. n. Y, July 2s. =
Through the prompt action of Mrs. AL
fred Maillett, wife of the Erie section
foreman at Shahola, Pa, a serious
wreck with probable loss of life was
avoided
In the midst of heavy rainstorm
she ran from her home a mile along
tire Erie tracks with a red flag and
halted a special train of four cars
running as a section of Chicago ex-
press and conveying Erie President
Frederick d. Underwood and A. L.
Kohler, president of the Union Pacific
Road, from Chicago to New York
City.
About two hundred feet east of the
Maillett home. the mountains along
the track rise to a considerable height
at what is known as Handsome Eddy
Rocks. The severe rain had caused
the earth and stone to loosen and slide
down the steep incline, covering both
tracks for a distance of nearly half a
mile and to a depth of several feet.
AS soon as she saw what had hap
pened, Mrs. Maillett secured a flag and
ran twards Shohola just as President
Underwood's special was coming east
on the westbound tracks. The train
was running at a fair speed, as it was
using a track other than it's own
when Engineer George w. Murray
saw the woman waving the red flag
He brought the train to sucn an abrupt
stop that both railroad heads got a
shaking up. Mr.. Underwood sent
word to the woman stating she practi-
cally had carried out the Erie slogan
of safety first"

Many
By .4ssoctatcd Prcss

New York, July 2S.-The National
Organization of Street Railways En-
ployes to-day continued efforts to
unionize all the motormen and con-
ductors of New York city
After day marked by rioting and
bloodshed the operation of cars in the
Bronx was suspended at o'clock last
night. The police made nearly 100
arrests yesterday and last night, but
the strike leaders asserted that few of
the men arrested were mem bers of the
union.
1t is estimated that more than 100
persons we're injured in clashes.
Twenty cars were badly damaged.
No attempt has been made to fasten
on the strikers blame for the fatal ac-
cident that occurred in the Bronx late
last night In this accident a strike
breaker as motorman was killed and
two policemen and three strike guards
employed by the railway company
were hurt. The car jumped the track
and struck an iron pillar and five min
utes later three empty cars in some
mysterious manner rolled down a steep
hill and crashed into the wreckage.

A prominent physician down In
Georgia went through a food expert
ence which he makes public:
1T was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food;

scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients that this food Is won

and brain tissue, asswell as muscle. 1t
improves the digestion and patients
gain. just as l did in strength and
weight, very rapidly.
Il was in such a low state that
had to give up my work entirely and
go to the mountains, but two months
there did not improve me; in fact |
was not quite as well as when left
home. My food did not sustain me
and 1t became plain that 1 must
change.
Il began to use Grape Nuts and in
two weeks could walk a mile. and IN
five weeks returned to my home and
practice, taking up hard work again.
Since that time have felt as well and
strong as ever did in my life.
AS a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers consider 1t duty to
make these facts public"

the regular food does not seem to sus-
tain the body will work wonders.

1t is pleasing thus to be able to
conceive of the saint as a young lover,
the initiated Archfarhen of Hymen, as
Charles Lamb named him, removed
III the early stages of mounting pas
sion to be the patron of all true lovers,
and to inspire forever the daintily
sentimental. endearingly naive, over
decorated human documents we call
valentines.
The pretty customs of the Lovers
Festival have fiourished for centuries
on the European continent, In England
and Scotland, and even in America to
some extent. But the ceremonial OF
Valentine Choosing, which is actually
an adaptation of the blind lottery of
the Roman Lupercalia, is now unused.
Mission the Traveller gives this seven
teenth century account of the ritual:
"An equal number of maids and
bachelors indite their names upon sep
arate billets, which they roll up, and
draw by way of lots, the maids TAX
ing the mems billets and the men the
maids';' SO that each of the young men
lights upon a girl that he calls his
valentine, and each of the girls upon a
young man whom she calls hers. By
this means each has two valentines;
but the man sticks faster to the val
entine to whom he had fallen. For
tune having thus divided the company
into SO many couples. the valentines
give balls and treats to their mis-
tresses, wear their billets several days
upon their bosoms or sleeves and this
little sport often ends in love"
