Some Pathetic, Some Heroic, All of Them Tragic. There were countless deeds of courege and heroic self-abnegation. A I). IJagerman, of Reading, Pa., refused the aid of his brother nooles after they had dragged him, fatally hurt, from tJie wreck. 'I am dying," he said, "go help the women." Sander Deabald, of Cleveland, worked heroically but unavallingly to save the lives of two women pinioned beneath the diner. He got one out, but she died lu a few minutes. A. D. YVasson, of Buffalo, was eating at a corner table. He was within six Inches of the hot water tanks.
When the rescuers neared him he
yelled encouragingly. Dragged from
under the range of the scalding steam
he murmured "Thank God" and died.
Charles M. Tyson, of Buffalo, Is ill at
the Potter hotel here, completely un
nerved by his experiences. He faced death many times, dragging from the
debris the bodies of friends. He final
ly collapsed under the strain.
YYben the relief train arrived at Sut-
ton on the way to the wreck Miss
Mnria Fuller, 10 years of age, of Los Angeles, jumped on board. "I want to
go with you to the wreck," she said to
Dr. W. A. Taylor, the Southern Pacific division surgeon, whohad charpe of the train. "You cannot go," re died the surgeon. Ten minutes later -when the traiu was clipping miles at the rate of fifty miles an hour the girl was discovered clinging to the brake-beam of the tender. YVhen brought into the car
she said: "I really had to go. I am
a member of South Gate Eastern Star, and I am pledged to give aid whenever
I can."

the Most of the Dead.
The wreck occurred at 2:35 p. m.
one hour and forty-five minutes after
the conclave visitors, forming a merry
party, had spent all the morning sight
seeing at Santa Barbara. The special plunged upon the defective switch, and in an instant the big locomotive, baggage car. diner and Pullman coupled with it were hurled together in a husre heap of wreckage. The engine shot forward on the broken track, tearing
up the rails ana ties and twisting me huse iron spans into fishhooks. The dining car, in which were thirtyfwo persons eating their noon day meal, leaped into the air and was thrown directly on top of the demolished locomotive. Xearly every pc-rs-m in this coach was instantly killed. The terror and tunnoil of the scene was indescribable. Many of thos? who escaped instant death by the first impact were crushed by the rear coaches hurled upon the wreckage. Others, pinioned in the debris, were roasted alive. Engineer Frank Champlain was pitched with his cab twenty-five feet beyond the engine, and got up and ran
three-quarters of a mile seeking help, before he discovered that his arm was broken and that he was severely scalded. A man standing behind his 'wife in the baggage car. was hurled through a huge rent in the roof and alighted
soft and yielding sand almost uninjured. The woman was forced through the floors, and wreckers had to lift tons of baggage to get her body out. But the unfortunates who occupied every seat in the dining car were caught In a veritable death trap. A last call for luncheon had just sounded a few minutes before. Rajah temple, of Reading, occupied the last car on the train, and its members were the last ones to go forward to the diner.

Kansas City, May 13. fclrs. Whimple. of Kansas City, Kan., a sister of Edmund G. Ross, ex-United States
senator from Kansas, who died at Al
buquerque, X. M., YY'ednesday last, in
an interview here threw some new
sidelights on the stand taken by her brother in voting against the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson. It
was Senator Ross' vote that saved President Johnson from impeachment, and for this act he was censured severely by his Kansas constituents. Mrs. YVbimple Is 73 years old, a pioneer Kansan, who came west in lSoo. He Could Have Got Rich. She probably was more closely associated with her brother than any other person, and to her alone he appears to have confided the motives that prompted his attitude in the Johnson episode. "Through his life," said Mrs. YVhim-
ple, "Senator Ross had every phase of dishonor meted out to him. He had been burned in all the fires of persecution and public reproach. I remember well the time of this great trial, when an ordinary man would have sold out and made himself comfortably rich for life, but when he let the opportunity slip by and chose rather the scorn and abuse of his countrymen. Offered a $200,000 Bribe? "He said once, prior to the trial,
that some one had approached some of his friends in a cautious way in hopes of discovering his price. Tho
senatorsaid little about what he might have made out of giving in at the last
moment uutil late years, when he intimated to me that It was In the neighborhood of $200,000. He was an extremely reticent man about matters to

trouble about the President "Johnson

going to do.
Knew He AVas Digging His Grave.
"A few days before the great trial
he told me that he was digging his po
litical grave. 'I am looking into it
now,' he said, 'and in a little while it
will be a reality; but I am right, right
lie never seemed to me to regret the
attitude he took on that occasion, a! though years of actual wrant followed
years during which there was no
friendly voice of encouragement or
cheer. Every constituent he had in Kansas turned fanatically against him." Mrs. Whimple concluded: "He will be vindicated; I know he will be
vindicated, and then the world wil
know just how much he was a patriot and a true man in times when such
were hard to find in Kansas."

The custom of kissing the feet of persons whom it was desired to honor originated with the ancients. The people of oriental nations used to kiss the hands and feet or hems of tho clothes of the persons they wished to show respect for. The ancient Egyptians got this custom from the Assyrians, and later the Greeks adopted the habit from the Egyptians. The Romans followed the
Greeks, and then Pontlfex Maxlmus had his great toe kissed by celebrities. The story will be remembered of the old Briton ruler who appeared to do homage to a Roman monk after tho conquest of Britain. He was told that it was customary to kiss the foot of the holy father. He hesitated for a
moment and then, bending down, he Buddenly seized the monk by tho ankle and, jerking it up to his Hps, toppled the worthy father over backward. The toe of the sultan of Turkey ta kissed by subjects of high rank. Those of more lowly position are merely allowed to touch the fringe of his garment to their lips, and the poorest classes must be content to make a low obeisance in his presence. The Sunday Magazine.

WATCHES FOR THE BLIND.
Simple Invention That Is Great Boon to Sightless Mortals.
WENT STRAIGHT TO DEATH
Father, Son and Daughter Killed by
Gas in a Coal Mine Wife Discovers the Fatality. Bismarck, X. D., May 13. Word
has reached the city of the death by
asphyxiation in a coal mine of John Lynn and his son and daughter. Lynn is a farmer living two miles east of
Wilton, and close to the YVashburn coal mines. He has a small coal mine on
his farm, from which ho gets his fuel.
He entered the mine for coal, and not
returning in a reasonable time his 15-vear-old son went in to look for him.
The son not returning a 10-year-old
daughter followed. Xone of them re
appearing the mother, fearing something had happened, went Into the
mine with a lighted lamp. A short way In the lamp went out, and the woman realized what had happened and aroused the neighbors, who finally secured the bodies.
The blind, like other mortals, wish to know the time exactly, and as very few of them are in a position to se
cure a good repeating watch, whoso cost is always great, they have to bo
content with ordinary watches, and
taking the crystal out of the face they
ascertain the time by th angles and
position of the hands, which frequent
ly causes disarrangement of the time
piece. In view of these, difficulties a for
eign firm has constructed a watch for the blind, which represents tho
figures in allegorical manner, and apparently is very convenient. The
signs in relief are the following: One
o'clock, one dot; two o'clock, two
dots; three o'clock, a triangle; four
o'clock, a sauare: five o'clock, a fivo-
pointed star; six o'clock, an elipse.
These same signs are repeated In bas-relief representing the hours from
six to 12. The number of signs is therefore limited to six, and It is very
easy to ascertain from them the time
of day. The hands are very strong and the watch has been used with
good results.
Another watch for the blind has been invented by M. Pierre TissotBersof, by which the blind can tell not only the hour, but also the minute. The hours are represented by figures of the Braille system.

Thirty-five bodies have been recovered, but as the fire is still raging it is feared that few others imprisoned will be found.
Ills Dad Writes It Alfonso Pio Chrlstino Eduardo Mother and Child Doing Well. Madrid, May 13. At 11 a. m. yesterday the ceremony of inscribing the name of the newly born prince of the
Asturias on the city birth register took place before the minister of justice, the first notary of the kingdom. The prince received the names Alfonso Pio Cristino Eduardo. The christening which was originally fixed for next Tuesday has been postponed to a date
not yet fixed, the king wishing to make the ceremony as Imposing as possible. The Duke of Sotomayor, chief of the royal palace, has received and sent replies to 8,000 telegrams of congratulation np to the present time. Both the queen and the infant prince are officially reported in excellent condition.
A Little Martyr. A minister's little daughter, who had been to church for the first timo and heard her father preach, was questioned by him on reaching homo as to how she liked his sermon. There was an embarrassed silence; then the little maid, tired out with the long, strain of "being good," and yet anxious not to offend in any wise, made answer with a long-drawn breath of patient resignation: "You preached awful long, papa;1
but I bared it."
The Patient Countryman. In driving through a certain part of New England where a number of writers have bought farms and made their summer homes I remarked to a farmer's wife who lived in their midst that there seemed to be a good many literary people in that neighborhood. "Yes," she replied, with a certain air of resignation, "there ar quite a few but we don't mmd them." I wish I could quote the tone of voice in which this remark was made. It was that more than the words though the words are amusing enough, particularly as Mark Twain was one of the literary people to whom she alluded. The Lounger, la Putnam's Monthly.
