ENGINES CRASH HEAD-ON.
Voar Are Killed, and Tito More
"Will Die.
HALIFAX. N. S, April 12. Four per
sons killed, two fatally hurt, at least one
missing, and several "others slightly In
jured Is the record of a head-on collision
on the Inter-Colonial Railway, which oc
curred Just before midnight last night
near Windsor Junction, 17 miles from
Halifax. The dead are:
WILLIAM WALL. exprws driver.
MICHAEL OAKLET, express fireman.
HILL rretaht ftrrmsn.
THORP, freight brakeroan.
COPELAND. freight driver.
M'CREART. a tramp.
The poles and telegraph" line along the
roadside were wrecked, and this city was
cut off from communication with the out
side world for hours.
The trains In collision were the Cana
dian Pacific Railway express from Mon
treal and Boston for Halifax, and a fast
freight from Halifax for Montreal. The
conductor and driver of the freight had
orders to take the siding at Windsor
Junction and let the express cross, but.
for some unknown reason. Driver Cope
land, of the freight, ran past the Junction
on the main line and met the express two
miles beyond.
It is thought that Copeland may have
lost control of his train, which was made
up of 75 cars. The freight was running 23
miles an hour, and the express, which
was two hours late, was traveling about
4 miles an hour. Both trains were hauled
by new and powerful locomotives, and
they crashed together on a level piece of
road skirting a lake.
The engine crew of the express and
Fireman Hill, of the freight, died almost
Immediately after the crash, and Brake
man Thorp was Instantly killed. The
locomotives locked together and remained
on the track. The postal and baggage
cars went over the embankment down
Into the lake. Two railroad mall clerks
In the postal car were shaken up. Their
car landed right side up and began to
fill with water, but they escaped by climb
ing through a window In the roof and
wading ashore. The men In the baggage
and express car had a like experience.
Driver Wall, of the express, was caught
In the mass of twisted Iron and scalded to
death by escaping steam. Fireman Oak
ley was thrown, or jumped from the cab
and was drowned In the lake, where his
body was found In 6 feet of water. Fire
man Hill was burned to death. Another
brakeman of the freight train Is missing,
and the lake Is being dragged for his
body.

of the Aspen tunnel late todiy. burying
the Union Pacific tracks IS or 30 feet for
a distance of 200 or 300 feet and 'badly
caving in the end of the tunnel. It is
thought the tracks cannot be cleared for
at least 24 hours. No one was killed
In the slide as far as known.
The east-bound passenger train had
Just passed through the tunnel when the

BETTER AFTER EASTER.
Cheerful Outlook on the London
Market Effect of Merger llullnc.
LONDON, April 12. While business
lasted, the atmosphere of the stock mar
ket last week was decidedly more cheer
ful, and it Is pointed out that the fact,
notwithstanding the disturbing reports
from the Balkans, that the public is de
manding all the best Investment stocks
Is an Indication of better times after
Easter. The Improvement In consols was
reflected In the other leading securities,
borne rails showing especial strength.
Americans also strengthened last Thurs
day and showed general advance.
The decision In the case of the Northern
Securities Company came too late to have
an effect on the market here, though
some apprehension existed regarding the
situation when business Is resumed next
Thursday. The writers In the financial
papers, however, do not predict any serf
ous fall. If any. in view of the fact that.
while the decision Is Important, it Is not
final, and does not affect the statistical
position of the roads Involved.
Iron Frieda Recover.
BERLIN. April 12. The Bourse had a
quiet week of a holiday character, but
values were well maintained. Industrials
developed greater "strength. News from
the Iron and other industrials indicates a
continued recovery in prices, and it Is re
garded as a favorable omen that the de
mand for structural Iron Is Increased in a
marked manner, owing to extensive build'
lng operations.
The money market showed a further Im
provement, and rates were lower. The
Relchsbank statement shows an unusual
recuperation, and the Impression prevails
that the general market will undergo an
Improvement after the Easter holidays.

BOSTON. April It-Mrs. W. Potter,
whose sister. Miss Ida C. Rose. Is the
bead of an American school on Ponape.
cyi which Island the native students from
Ruk are imprisoned, says that she can
not understand the report of trouble at
Kuk. Mrs. Potter says:
"lly sister write ma often, and she
states that the German Governor of the
Island Is very friendly to the missionaries.
There has been some talk, of the with
drawal of the American missionaries, and
the German government declared that no
English missionaries should ever fill their
places, so It may be that they intend t,o
banish missionaries entirely."
MISS GAUSE MAKES REPLY
To Qneatlona of University of Ore
gon Historical Society.
NEWBERG. Or.."" April 12. Miss Lucy
M. Cause, who won second prize In the
contest In which E. A. Smith, of MeMlnn
ville. took first place with his alleged
plagiarized oration, in answer to queries
propounded to her by the Historical So
ciety of the University of Oregon, sub
mits the following:
I desire to make the following state
ments in answer to the inquiries made
by the Eugene Historical Society:
First Madison did defend the Consti
tution before the Virginia convention, but
so did John Marshall. The part taken by
Marshall in the debate can be found in
almost any historical work. George
IL Williams, In his address delivered at
Salem on John Marshall day. February
4. lira, said: "Marshall confronted Henry
upon all these points with great power
and success, and the convention ratified
the Constitution by a majority of ten
votes. It is Impossible to speak too high
ly of the services of Marshall In this
convention."
Second Plnckney is supposed to have
been the originator of the phrase. "Mil
lions for defense, but not one cent for
tribute." That phrase is an epitome of
the answer given to France by the Ameri
can Commission. I did not mean to as
sert that John Marshall was the origin
ator of the phrase, but referred figura
tively to his active work on the commis
sion that answered France to that effect.
Third The statement that John Marsh
all was the first Chief Justice Is a mis
take, which I am glad to have-corrected.
I first wrote the sentence "was made one
of the first Chief Justices." and in the
hurry of remodeling the oration In the
two or three days allowed after the local
contest, the sentence was changed Inad
vertently to read, "was made the first
Chief Justice." LUCY M. GAUSE.

FROM SERVANTS' RULE.
How a Western Womnn In London
Wonld Solve a Great Problem.
London Mall.
A bright American woman has come
from California to solve London's great,
servant problem. Miss G. Stewart Is a
young university graduate, and her cam
paign opens with a lecture nt the Wom
en's institute. tZ Victoria, street, Mon
day .afternoon.
"Her solution is a sweeping one that
English women should follow the West
ern model" and do their own worle. "In
California It is the common thing for per
sons of good standing to do their own
housework," she said In a conversation
yesterday afternoon. "Life Is less com
plicated there In many ways, and tasks
that here are wearying are there made
easy by simpler house construction and.
by labor-saving appliance.
"The American housewife who does her
own work is .by no means a domestic
slave. Jt is true that she cannot, like so
many Englishwomen, spend her mornings
reading the" newspapers. Her day com
mences earlier, as it is customary to have
breakfast between 7:30 and 8:30. During
the morning she works and work does
her good. Her domestic tasks are done
easily, quickly and thoroughly.
"How does your aervantlcss wife man
age for boot-cleaning, kslte-cleanlng.
washing up, blacking grates .and answer
ing tbe door.?" Miss Stewart was asked.
She had her answers ready. "The Amer
ican man and woman wear the rubbers
(goloshes) when it te wet, and these are
easily washed. The woman cleans her
boots with 'liquid blacking, which Is far
less labor than the old paste blacking. It
English people wore rubbers they would
be saved much rheumatism.
"Knife cleaning Is not necessary, be
cause electro-plated knives are universally
used. Our grate Is a small cradle in a
tiled hearth, when the rooms are not
heated by steam.
"Washing dishes Is, I admit, one of
tbe things that must so far be done in
the old-fashioned way: but in American
houses the handling of the dishes Is not
to perious a matter. There It is usual
for the, kitchen to adjoin the dining-room
and for the two to be connected by a slid
ing panel.
"But even In washing up we have some
things to save labor. The enamelled
saucepan Is in general use. and is easy
to clean. A wooden handle with a bunch
of armor chain at the end Is used for
scouring. We use earthenware pans gen
erally for stews, and serve up In them.
"As to answering the door." Miss Stew
art continued, "why should you not
answer your own door? What is there
derogatory in It? There is something In
credible In the notion that you demean
yourself by opening the door to a caller."

Leonidas Polk, the fighting bishop of the
Confederacy. The other was a chaplain.
Each was accompanied by a son ot the
old "mammy." The physician and the
chaplain died before the war was over.
Their body servants returned to Tennes
see, where the sisters of the dead Con
federates were still living with the old
"mammy" and her daughter, although
they might have come 'North.
The sisters of the dead Confederates
were married and each had children. When
the war was over the married sisters were
dead: the old negro "mammy" was dead.
They were buried in the same family lot
In a Tennessee cemetery.
When the children of the sisters c-rew
up, they married. The three children of
the old negrj "mammy" lived with them
through the days of reconstruction, and
married.
More than once these children of former
slaves were forced to leave the old home
by people who thcugbt they knew more
about the happiness and welfare of the
negroes than the negroes themselves. But
as often as they were forced to go away,
as often did they return to "them chlllun."
These negroes Anally died on the old plan
tation and their bodies are burled in the
family lot In the Tennessee cemetery
They left chlldrer.
The children of the sisters who were
the -daughters of the old physician and
his wife came tc New York, and are the
beads of two families living beneath the
same root. Their servants, are the .children
of the children of, the old nam "mammv"
whose faithful husband went to California
with "Mars John."
There la a retired merchant in New
York who was .raised by a negro
"mammy." An estrangement separated
him from his mother. It was a sad af
fair. The mother, bereft of nearly all she
possessed from her hueband.. retired to a
farm. Her old servant, the "mammy" of
her boy. had gone away to another state
and had accumulated 'what to her was a
small fortune. She returned to her "ole
missus" and remained with her until the
latterla death.
A few weeks before the death, the old
negro "mammy" hunted up the son. her
young master, and, through her, a recon
ciliation was effected. The son was at the
bedside of his mother In her last, days,
thanks to the old negro "mammy."
The property of the mother was given
to the old "mammy" and there she lived
until she died and her young master
buried her beside his mother. The prop
erty was sold and the money was sent to
a school which is educating .negroes.
"There must have been something." said
this retired merchant, referring to the in
cident described, and others that were
mentioned. 'In the conditions between
master and servant that was higher and
better and nobler than the people of the
South have had credit tor'. And while
God knows, I have no grtves that I would
open, nor would I lift a finger to put the
negro back where he was. I cannot help'
thinking that the day when social equality
was dangled before him was a black one
for hla race."

heart's action; it enriches the blood. Improves
the circulation and replaces sickness with

"Dr. Miles' Heart Cure has been of inesti
mable value to me and I doubt if I should
have tried it at all but for others statements
of its beneficial results. I suffered from val
vular heart trouble for a number of years,
was given up to die on several occasions,
and twice pronounced 'gone.' In Septem
ber, 1S96, the date of ray last severe attack,
my physician advised me that there was no
hope. The valves did not dose at all. there
wis constant regurgitation, and the circula
tion was so sluggish that the slightest effort
caused fainting, followed by muscular con
tractions, each one seeming the very throbs
of death. I began taking Dr. Miles' Heart
Cure under my doctor's care and when the
first bottle was gone I was ordered to buy a
half-dozen more. The effect of the seven
bottles was something remarkable. I am
now restored to a condition of good health
and bid fair to enjoy many years of life."

11 rat Mpchta In Philadelphia.
Leslie's Monthly.
Philadelphia la more like London than
any other American dty In its unman
ageable gallery. Mr. Sothern produced
"The King's Musketeer" there, and the
first performance lasted very late. In
the last Intermission the gallery boys
sang, "We Won't Go Home Until Morn
ing." and when, in the final act. the
queen majestically struck a gong, a boy
called out, "Heavens, it's 1 o'clock!" Miss
Ethel Barrymore, who was brought up
in Philadelphia by her grandmother, ,the
late Mrs. John Drew, long the favorite
actress-manager of the city, made her
stellar debut .there in "Captain Jinks of
the Horse Marines." The gallery cheered
her through the performance by cilllng
her "Our Ethel." and reminding her at
frequent Intervals that "We knew your
grandmother, and you're all right," At
the end of the play, when she led Mr.
Fitch forth, they showed very plainly
that they didn't want him -but only their
"EtheL" "You're play's rotten," they
called, "but you're the real thing. Ethel!"
