MWTBIKIM Impossible to Give Accurate Statement of Tucson Wreck Victims. — Bodies So Burned and Mangled That the Full List Can Not Well Be Determined. '.o More Jhaa • Score of Dead, However, Hawe Been Thus Far Accounted For. Tucson. Ariz., Jan. 30.—A revised list of the killed an* injured in the collision between the Sunset Limited, westbound, and the Crcscsnt City express, on the Southern Pacific railroad near Vails, place the number of dead at twenty-one, of which eight have been identified. The injured number twenty-Wne. There is a conflict between two coroners as to jurisdiction in the case of the wreck, which is likely m delay the investigation. One coroner had a deputy on the ground, who took possession of the bodies of the victims. The other cofoner arrived after the bodies had been put on the train and were cn the way to Tucson. Both have summoned witnesses to appear in the counts. That all the bodies have not been taken from the wreck is further strengthened by the odor of burning flesh which comes comes from the ■wreck, and especially at the point where U»e smoking-car of th<- Crescent City Express was telescoped. Scores of messages are arriving from all parts of the country making inquiries as to people on the two trains. The ©pinion of t.be passengers who were on the wrecked trains is tha, the number of persons killed will exceed thirty. Railroad officers will not make any statement further than that Operator Clough at Vails was responsible on account of his failure to deliver orders. Clough is under Instructions to say nothing until called to the witness stand at the in*uest. Superintendent Stoufe saj-s the investigation will be pushed forward and that the blame will be fixed as quickly as possible.

A box full of mutilated bodies was taken from the morgue yesterday and buried in the Tucson cemetery Information from the scene of the wreck aayff that there are many pieces of bodies scattered about and that it is Impossible to give an accurate statement as to the number of persons that lost their lives.

THE COURT OF CITH) SOME DEFINITIONS OF LOVE, POE I IC AND OTHERWISE. Differing; Ti.ik-v That Blend I" “ “ Hurinoniouv Matrimonial < bora. Diverge Views «* »<> What Constitutes “The Ideal Woman." Teunvson says in the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. With the young men and uomen of Vigo county consideration of this interesting theme is not confine to one season. It has the right of way at all times and seasons. Definitions of love were being discussed when a refine# woman said the most comprelihiislve and beautiful deli nitlon she had ever seen was written by Amanda Douglas. Here it is: “Love comes with truth in her heart and constancy in every pulse to sit down an everlasting guest in the heaits of those wbo truly welcome her. If there are sorrows and storms, she spreads her wings for an ark of shelter: if toil and cure, she lightens them with her blessed smile. No room for regrets or jealousies, for both are true in deed and thought; no coldness, for she stands between them and the frosts of time. Year by year they grow into perfect accord* bringing heaven j nearer with every dawn. "Can such love ever fail?'' A jolly girl present said, "Love is a tickling sensation round the heart that. cannot be scratched." A modest, blushing young lady re- ; marked, "It is something indescribable, must be spontaneous, cannot bej bought or coaxed into being and when | It grows cold cannot be warmed. Still we hear people constantly saying. "I I learned to love him." ’, There is no subject upon which a man or woman, young or midd » :ig-‘d. provided they are not married, will heroine ao animated as “my Ideal woman” and "my ideal man.” Usually the tall men and women admire those of medium or diminutive stature: the fat. the lean; the blond, the brunette; the jolly, the sedate. The union of two people with different characteristics. provided they agree on the fundamentals, makes a bun.on - whole*, the one furnishing the needed complement of the other. The lawyer prefers the woman averse i to arguing. He gets his sufficiency of; close reasoning in the courtroom The garrulous man seeks a good listener. The conceited one admires the modest I woman who enjoys burning incense be- > fore his altar. The man of few words picks out the woman of bright conversational powers, it is difficult to surmise from • man’* general attributes what is his idea! woman. I asked a Terre Haute gentleman who has been much in public life and has been thrown with many brilliant wo-! men what was his ideal woman. I was surprised to hear him say emphatically not a convention woman or one who goes about delivering speeches and tures upon a public rostrum. “My ideal woman is ue who can lioid her own in conversation with other women and men of brains in the parlor, who is self reliant, yet looks to a man and depends ’ upon him; not too good to drink a glass of wine, to tell a good story if the occa-1 sion warrants it. yet she must not be carried off her feet. She must be able to work both physically and mentally and be ashamed to follow in the wake ol ffih' women."

A society young mnn not given to explicit statements has confided this nutrb about bis ideal woman. Sbe must be good looking. Perish tho thought of sitting opposite an ugly woman at the table one thousand and ninety-five times in a year. His ideal woman must not be bold, still not afraid of athletic sports; must be a good golf and tennis player, ride a horse with confidence, lire a gun. row with a steady stroke. “A superb looking. well pr portioned woman in the saddle is a sight for the gods." Anything but a namby pamby woman’ one afraid of her shadow, for this voung fellow. s Whistling girls nnd crowing hens altrap come to some bad end." \i Terr. Haute gentleman thinls this is an absurd statement. In fact the ability to whistle well he regards as an essential in his ideal woman. A'ffi sh' must have rich, pl ,ss V hHil . ruminous dark eyes, shapely hands and fitaer nails, dainty feet, be mllv and companionable, n person to cheer a tel low up when worried nnd worn out with business. No bookworm or woman s suffrage advocate can be classed aHhisideni.

OVERPETTED PEIS. Dogs and Cats Spoiled by Appetite For Unnatural Tidbit*. Possibly the dog world might afford a better specimen of a living skeleton than one In the kefnel next to tin door of boarding place for animate, but it would take a day’s journey u find him. “What's makes him so thin?” wa« asked of the attendant. “He won’t eat,” was the reply—“that is, he won’t eat hospital food. He’s been spoiled. Lots of dogs and cats that are brought here have been spoH ed.„ Their owners think it is n sign of high breeding to cultivate an appetite for a peculiar and unnatural diet. They train animals to eat all kinds of food that they would never touch of their own volition. This emaciated fellow has been taught to like fruit. He Is particularly fond of pears; but, in case he can’t get them, peaches, apples and bananas are a fairly satisfactory substitute. Unfortunately, his present aU meat makes a fruit diet extremely dangerous, and slq** he Is deprived of his favorite fowl he is literally starving himself to death.” The attendant passed on to a neighboring cage and poked his finger sportively into the side a large gray eat that "meowed" plaintively in response to his cheery "Hello, there, Csesarl” The cat had such a healthy, wholesome apiiearance that the \totor Inquired what meat he was fed upon. "Humph!” said the attendant. “You’ve missed it there. He dfesn't feed upon meat. He’s a vegetarian. He likes onions better than anything else, un Jess it's rat ions. A good many cats like lnelons. and most of them are also partial to raw asparagus. The fact Is you might run through a list of all the that find a place on any up to date menu and you will find that some of our patients have acquired a taste for them. Tills epicurean appetite may tk'ir te aristocratic tendencies on (*<■ part of my boarders, but I don’t ap prove of it. Most of these acquired taste-- are a perversion of the natural animal appetite, and it is likely to prove harmful In the end. IJTie trick is pretty < xpensive fdr us fellows that run cat and dog boarding houses, and I'd like to put a stop to It.”—New York Times. APHORISMS. Liberality consists rather In giving seasonably than much.-Cicero. Labor is the divine law of our exist ence: repose is desertion and suicide.— Mazzini. T'nbecoming forwardness oftener jgoceeds from ignorance than impudence —Guville. Kindness is a language the dumb ct;n speak and the deaf can hear and under stand.—Bovee. Every one complains of the badness of his memory, but nobody of his judg ment.—Rochefoucauld. He who has no inclination to learn more will be very apt to think that he knows enough.—Powell. It is not what he has flffeveiiMhat he does which expresses the worth of a man, but what be is. AmiM Most people would succeed in small things if they were not troubled witli great ambitions.—Longfellow. Justice is the Insurance we have on our lives and property. umJ obedience is the premium we pay for it.—Penn. Cat» of Ancient By >n, persons the popularity of the cat in Egypt lias been attributed t’> the fj.-t that tlie anltoal was valu able in ridding the palaces of rats and mice and h*b> j n hunting fowls, There are several paintings in the British museum, executed fc-. ancient Egyp tian artists, representing Egyptian sportsmen in boats on the (|ver Nik' accompanied by large (gits, sitting on their haunches in Other I'ictures irrv i it* cats swimming with birds in their mouths after the manner of retriever dogs. These pictures have greatly perplexed modern naturalists because the cat of today has a strong aversion to water, and it is difficult to reconcile such different traits even after the Iti.se of thousandsof years. Food We Onaht to Eat. It has been said that a man should be in very good health if he takes no more than three different kinds of food at any one menl. It should be served ■is nearly as poMible in its simple •'t-ite. More fiMij j g required on u 1 'iinp. raw, eold day than on a cheer ful. dry one.
