Sam Lee Abbott's Auto Struck by Train,
Mr.. Abbott Not Injured.

Sam Lee Abbott was driving his car
alone toward home yesterday noon, when
il was struck and considerably damaged
by an engine drawing a freight train on
the White River railroads River street
crossing. He heard it coming, but sup
posed it was a train on the Central Yer
mont, whose tracks run parallel with
those of the White River railroad. He
had driven through the underpass before
even suspeeting the approach OF the en-.
CINE, which was almost upon him when
he first saw it. He was so near the
track that he could not stop his car, and
the train was so near that he could not
get across. The White, River engine was
under full head Of steam, preparatory
to making the steep grade which occurs
on the east side of River street, and
struck the automobile with force sutfi-
cient to turn it almost completely
around. Fortunately, Mr.. Abbott was
not injured. The car is at the garage for
new wheels and other repairs.

Fashion is inclined to be tolerant
and broad-minded this summer allow
ing several paths to be favored so long
as they lead to the same goal. And the
goal in afternoon gowns is styles
that are utterly feminine. One may
reach 1t by travelling the rich, sleek,
silky way, or take the airy route that
leads through clouds of thin, misty
materials. Even the silhouette varies
according to the character of the fab
rics whercwithal we are clothed.

After the "Reign of the Hundred

Napoleon at Waterloo, the congress
of Vienna reassembled. meeting In
June when the smoke Of Waterloo
had scarcely cleared away. The deie-
gates came again to the council taDle
with an appetite for plunder, whetted

over to Prussian and Russian rule, or
the Norwegians, who were transferred

INV voice in the matter, seems not to
have weighed with the map-makers.
Large armies were still kept under
arms In France and Italy. Murat, the
sergeant of marines whom Napoleon
had made n marshal of France and
king of Naples, had deserted the en-
peror when things went against him
In 1914, hoping thus to keep his throne
of Naples and the two Sicilies. But
Murat knew that the congress of
Vienna was seeking some excuse to
oust him and dispose of his kingdom;
that they would. by hook or crook.

NAPOLEON broke out from Elba. he de-
clared for the emperor. Whereupon
an allied army promptly drove him
out of Naples. Now the congress gave
Murat's kingdom to that line Of the
Bourbons which had formerly reigned
there, whose misrule had been q scan

The congress spent very agree

their work. When 1t was concluded

There are many curious facts about
our second war with England. among
which may be mentioned that the
greatest battle of the war was fought
after the treaty of peace had been
signed and that negotiations for peace
began at about the same time as the
declaration of war. The United
States declared war on Great Britain
on June 10. 1872. and Napoleon de-
clared war on Russia four days later.
AS England was an ally of Russia.
whatever harmed England at such n
crisis had more or less effect on Rus

should have Interested himself so
much. for In the great struggle of the
Napoleonic wars the United States
had been treated by Europe as a
negligible quantity. and her neutral
rights coolly disregarded by every ma
ton. She had been protesting for
twelve years and her protests were
disregarded as petty annoyance
which nations engaged in more seri-
GUS matters had not time to consider.
There was hardly a nation in Europe
that we could not have found cause
for going to war with.
Why England Was Chosen.
However, England had acted per
haps n trifle more nasty" than the
others and we chose England. The
war was exceedingly unpopular in
New England, which talked secession.
When President Madison received Mr..
Adams communication he appointed
james A. Bayard of Delaware and AL
bert Gallatin, then secretary of the
treasury, to proceed to st. Petersburg
and Join the American minister there
in negotiating a peace. Mr.. Adams
called upon Count Roumanzoff. Rus
sian minister of foreign affairs, and
Informed him that the two new COM
missioners were on their way. Count
Roumanzoff was very sorry. really. but
the British government had replied
that the question at issue between
England and the United States was
not one which could be settled by
mediation. Meantime, Gallatin and
Bayard had got as far as Gottenburg
on their way to Russia. Anxious to

happened. Communication between

But England stood committed to the
negotiations and in August. after keep
ing the American delegates waiting
six weeks. the British delegates ap-
peared. The British delegates were
men of little experience and no abil-

British demanded discussion of the
right of search and the question of al
legiance, revision of the Canadian
boundary, discussion OF the right OF
fishing on the Grand Banks, and the
erection of an Indian buffer state out
of the territory of the United States.
The Americans replied that they
had no Instructions regarding the In
dians or the fisheries; these matters
were not in dispute. But with regard
to the search of American vessels and
the impressment of her seamen they
had very full Instructions; also with
regard to the Canadian boundary. the
right of blockade and the payment OF
indemnity to American citizens.
But Castlereagh sent word asking
them to wait. Wellington was asked
to go to America and take command.

MOTORS INSTEAD OF DOGS
Trip Over the Cascades in a Gasoline
Sleigh Was Distinct
Success.

A spectacular trial trip was recently
made across the Cascades in motor
sleigh, and number of photographs,
taken at various stages of the journey,
are reproduced in Popular Mechan-
les. The achievement of the motor
sleigh was almost as amazing as that
of the first army tank, conquerlng. as
ii did, all kinds of obstacles. Swimming
the surface of snowfalls, old or new,
the strange little vehicle broke Its way
through primeval passes with never
stumble. The rescue of an automobile,
hopelessly stalled In the drifts of Sno-
qualmie pass, was mere Incident in
its progress. Crossing deep gully on
n pair of hemlock poles was but one of
the days adventures. The intended
substitution of the motor sleigh for the
dog drawn sledges of Alaska's snow
bound post trails means more to the
people of that great territory than may
be generally realized. Jack London and
others have limned the malemute as
romantic figure; but the followers of
the trail know well he is never that 1t
