VANCOUVER, Wash., July 21. A
somewhat strange fatality occurred late
yesterday afternoon on, the cut-off of
the P. V. & Y. road, two miles from this
city. John Hughes, a laborer, aged 24
years, was working under the dump
platform when the structure caved in
and a gravel car, the platform and sev
eral loads of dlft covered Hughes. When
he was rescued there was no sign of
tfe, .and his body was brought to an
undertaking establishment here and pre
pared for burial.
This morning the undertaker in charge,
of the body stated that there were no
bruises, broken bones or concussions
found on the body, and that the do
ceased must have died from organic
heart trouble. A fleeting glimpse was"
allowed of the face, which exhibited no
unusual marks ln the shade of the cof
fin.
There was no inquest held, and the
railroad company bears the expense of
the funeral, though Inquiry was made
yesterday evening to discover what
funds the county had for such burials,
the amount allowed was found by the
company to be only $10, and county aid
was not requested? The body has been
placed ln a silver-adorned coffin and
will be burled at the-Catholie. cemetery.
John Hughes had no realtlves in this
region, and fow Intimate friends. A
letter has been written to the Catholic
parish at Montreal, where It is said
Hughes formerly lived. He is said to
have left Montreal in 18!)7, an since
that time has been engaged ln construc
tion work In the Northwest.
The undertakers in charge of the
body visited the scene of the disaster
and stated that Is was an unavoidable
accident, and that Hughes probably met
his death through a shock that over
exerted his weak heart. Just what por
tion of tho gravel car, 'timbers and
gravel fell on his body without making
noticeable hrulses was not stated'.

(Journal Special Service.)
VANCOUVER, Wash.. July 21 Th
Army Blue will soon be a thing of the
past, and Instead of the serried ranks
of blue, the post poet will have to re
tune his harp and melodlae about the
bonny brown.
The first samples of the new service
uniform have been received at the head
quarters office here' and the men are
longing ror the time when they can
make the change. The new regalia la of
an olive brown tint, the uniforms being
made of a rich, heavy cloth that has
none of the appearance of the present
cheap cotton stuff inflicted on the pri
vates. The officers' uniforms have
considerable quantity, of gold braid and
tinsel attached for dress occasions, and
the European order of military aris
tocracy Is seemingly being copied,
The change will be made as rapidly as
possible, since the War Department has
ordered that no further supplies of blue
clothing be sent here, and that when the
present supply Is exhausted, that requl
sltlons be made for the new uniforms.
The entire garrison will be regarbed
within a year, and many of the com
panies will appear rehabilitated ln a
few months. As the troops return from
the Philippines Jhey will receive the
new suits to replace their worn cloth
ing.
The cost of the new material Is much
greater than of the present blue as .
private's uniform of blouse and trousers
will cost $11 Instead of 14.50 ; the serv
ice overcoat will be 118 Instead of $8
and other trappings In proportion. The
new cloth Is guaranteed to wear three
times as long as the old blue, and has
a soft and silky feeling that is most
pleasing. With the blue goes the white
facings, that have so long distinguished
the infantry officers and non-coms. A
sky-blue replaces he old white.

GEORGIA'S FINE -EXAMPLE
In Georgia certainly the ruling senti
ment of the white majority Is In favor
of giving the negro minority a fair show
both in the school houses and at tne nai
lot boxes. The House of Representatives
at Atlanta has Just voter! down by a
big majority a resolution offered by one
of Its leading members to divide the
school fund between the two races in
proportion to the amount of taxes paid
by each. If this were done, the negroes,
being relatively very small taxpayers,
would have been practically denied any
thing like equal school privileges with
the whites.
This recalls the fact that theTTeorgla
legislature at its last session rejected a
measure aimed at the exclusion of ne
groes from the votinsr lists. The spirit
of fair play thus strikingly exhibited In
one of the most typical of Southern
states Is the spirit in which, affer the
passitws of this period of mobocratle
madness have cooled down, the negro
problem both In the North and South
for It Is no longer a sectional but a na
tional problem will have to be met and
mastered New York World.

It Is easier fer some butchers to get
six hams out of one hog than it is to
get one truthful word out of some men.
Cyrus Townsend Brady was talking
about the Itinerant preachers of the
past.
"These men,' he said, "were rugged
and sincere. Their minds, If they were
coarse, were also strong. Their .elo
quence was sometimes powerful; some
times it was amazing.
"There was s. JiotahleJltlnerajit . wJia
once preached on 'The Olory of the
Saints,' and the description of a saint's
glory that he gave in this Sermon de
serves, I think, to be perpetuated. This
is It, word for word:
"Who, my brethren, can describe the
glory of a saint? Why, nothing on
earth can liken It. If you drill a hole
through the sun and put it in your
head for a, crown and split the moon In
sunder and put the pieces on your
shoulders for epaulettes if you tear
down the starry curtain of the skies and
wrap It around your body for a robe,
and ride to heaven on the lightning
wings of the tempest this will be noth
ing to the glory of the saints.' "
