DUE TO THE POOR CARS. DEATHS ON RAILROADS CHIEFLY IN THE DAY COACHES. Few Persons Who Ride in the Pullmans Are injured or Killed In Wrecks. Hallway statistics on their very face show that the greater per cent, of people killed on the railroads during the past year were those who were riding in the ordinary day coaches, which make up the greater part of all passenger trains. Only a very few passengers were killed in the Pullman cars. There are several reasons why so few people are injured in Pullman cars and such a great number killed. In the day coaches. The chief reason is the flimsy construction of the day coach as compared with the substantially built Pullman cars. It Is said among railroad men that the Puilman car weighs 125,000 pounds while the day coach hardly approaches 90,000 pounds. The difference in weight is the difference in the strength of the materials used in the two coaches.. One of the reasons put forward as to why Pullmans are built stronger, is that the company furnishing the cars to the railroads, is a private one, and it is to their interest to build only the most substantial cars. The railroads on the other hand are not so careful. Pullman cars are seldom wrecked. When a collision occurs they may roll from the tracks and over and over again. They remain intact however where an ordinary day coach would be completely demolished. In a collision the heavy Pullmans hauled to the rear of the train veritably plow through the flimsy day coaches which are so lightly constructed. Until all steel cars or more substantial wooden ones are built by the roads, deaths will continue to occur in day coaches with fearful enormity. SUNDAY'S EXCURSIONS. The excursions running out of Rich--rJ Saturday night and Sunday were patronized. A large number of 'holies went to Kokomo over the Pennsylvania to attend the Catholic

t church dedication while a large nums her of Richmond neoole went to Chlca-

s go Saturday night and to Cincinnati, . Sundar. SHORTAGE OF CARS. It Is said the car shortage is daily becoming more pronounced and the 9m crVi f rtfr-zx hara theJr Tn m.

, exceed far In quantity the expecta

tions of shippers, and there are large quantities of hay, oats, and wheat yet to be moved. Summing it all up, where the cars are to come from to handle the increasing local business and the through traffic is a question which the wisest railroad men can not determine. INCREASE IN TONNAGE. The Pennsylvania has handled 21 per cent more coal this year than for the corresponding period for 1906. The total tonnage for anthracite and bituminous coal and coke for 1907 up to last Saturday was 42,160,000 tons, a gain of 7.036.533 tons over the same period of last year. FURNITURE MANUFACTURERS.

The merits of the various managements have been under fire. Fortunately neither the present nor former management has allowed the property to suffer through the official changes. The road is now in a fine condition and doing the largest business in its history. AN EMPHATIC DENIAL ENTEREDJO REPORT C. & 0. and C, C. & L. Will Not Combine Interests. SEVERAL REASONS GIVEN. Rumors of a deal between the C. and O. and the C, C. and L. for a seaboard traffic arrangement is emphatically denied by officials of both roads, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. It is pointed out hat the C. and O. and the Big Four are so closely allied in traffic matters that their relations would not be more satisfactory if they were under one and the same management. "It would be preposterous," said a local railroad official yesterday, "to assume that the C. and O. would attempt to divert its business from the Big Four in view of the volume of its traffic, which will easily aggregate 750 loaded cars in each direction daily. "There is only one other road beside the Big Four that could handle this rru T -.1 t ,u ! take care of it, and it is the only Cincinnati-Chicago line that could. "The C. and O. in connection with the Big Four, has a slight differential in rates to European points as against the New York Central and Pennsylvania lines via New York. It appears not Improbable to me that the C, C. and L. management has been given authority to use the differential rates, which are applicable via Newport News and Norfolk in connection with the C. and O. This is probably the extent of the deal alleged to be on." INFANT INGERMAN VERY SICK.

Mrs. Levi Z. Leiter, widow of the man who, born of poor parents in Maryland, died, worth $25,000,000, is confined to her apartments in the Ho tel Ritz in Paris, suffering from liver trouble. Although friends of the worn an, whose daughter ruled the court of India like a queen, with the title of Lady Curzon, try to minimize report of the aged patient's condition, she is known to be in grave danger. The upper photograph on the right shows Mrs. Levi Z. Lieter, while on the upper left is a photo of Mrs. Colin Campbell, who was Miss Nancy Leiter and who is on the way from Scotland, while below is a photo of Lady Suffold who was Miss "Daisy" Leiter, who is expected to arrive at any hour. NO CLUE WAS FOUND TO RECENTHORSE THEFT All Efforts Have Thus Far Been in Vain. STRONG EFFORT WAS MADE Cambridge City, Ind., Sept. SO. The efforts of the local Horse Thief Detective association to locate the thief who stole the valuable horse and buggy belonging to Jesse Hormel, a prosperous farmer living north of this city, have all been in vain, for as yet no clue has been found. Descriptions of the stolen horse and buggy have been sent far and near and several parties have been out scouring the country but met with no results as the thief is still at large. FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY HE SUFFERED MANY HARDSHIPS. Was at Lait Rewarded by a Great Discovery. The great scientist that devoted twenty years of his life to travel and study for the betterment of humankind, was at last rewarded by a discovery that is today filling hundreds of homes with health and happiness. Hundreds of letters of thanks are being received from every direction; and while money is a much needed thing, the scientist in an interview said: "I would gladly give every dollar I have and every dollar I ever expect to have if all people now suffering with stomach, liver and kidney troubles understood the wonderful merits of Root Juice. It is a compound that heals and tones the blood-making and blood-filtering organs. It creates a healthy appetite, prevents fermentation of food in the stomach and bowels, cleanses the system, stops bloating, belching and heart burn. It removes all causes of constipation and kidney symptoms. In after effects of La Grippe, when the general health is bad, Rot Juice has a truly wonderful toning action on the whole system. The great remedy is sold for $1 a bottle at A. G. Luken's drug store. We are iiiitbtuil to John Adams for our national inDtto. "E Pluribus Unum."

TRIBDTE IS PAID M'KINLEY MEMORY BY THE PRESIDENT (Continued From Page One.) Mr. Cortelyou, whose relations with him were of such close intimacy, gives me the following information about it: On the President's trip to the Pacific slope in the spring of 1901, President Wheeler of the University of Califor nia, conferred the degree of LL. D. upon him in words so well chosen that they struck the fastidious taste of John Hay, then Secretary of State, who wrote and asked for a copy of them from President Wheeler. On the receipt of this copy he sent the following letter to President McKinley, a letter which now seems filled with a strange and unconscious prescience: Dear Mr. President: President Wheeler sent me the Inclosed at my request. You will have the words in more permanent shape. They seem to me remarkably well chosen, and stately and dignified enough to serve long hence, please God as your epitaph. Yours faithfully, JOHN HAY. "University of California, Office of the President, "By authority vested in me by the regents of the University of California, I confer the degree of Doctor of Laws upon William McKinley, President of the United States, a statesman singularly gifted to unite the discordant forces of the Government and mold the. diverse purposes of men toward progressive and salutary action, a magistrate whose poise of judgment has been tested and vindicated in a succession of national emergencies; good citizen, brave soldier, wise executive, helper and leader of men, exemplar to his people of the virtues that build and conserve the state, society, and the home.' "Berkeley, May 15, 1901." Great and Good Citizen. It would be hard to imagine an epitaph which a good citizen would be more anxious to deserve or one which would more happily describe the qualities of that great and good citizen whose life we here commemorate. He possessed to a very extraordinary degree the gift of uniting discordant forces and securing from them a harmonious action which told for good government. From purposes not merely diverse, but bitterly conflicting, he was able to secure healthful action for the good of the State. In both poise and judgment he rose level to the several emergencies he had to meet as leader of the nation and like all men with the root of true greatness in them he grew to steadily larger stature under the stress of heavy responsibilities. He was a good citizen and a brave soldier, a Chief Executive whose wisdom entitled him to the trust which he received throughout the nation. He was not only a leader of men but pre-eminently a helper of men; for one of his most marked traits was the Intensely human quality of his wide and deep sympathy. Finally, he not merely preached, he was, that most valuable of all citizens la a democracy Iike oars, a man who

in the highest place served as an unconscious example to his people of the virtues that build and conserve alike our public life, and the founda tion of all public life, the intimate life of the home. Many Lessons Taught. Many lessons are taught us by his career, but none more valuable than the lesson of broad sympathy for and among all of our citizens of all classes and creeds. No other President has ever more deserved to have his life characterized in Lincoln's words as being carried on "with malice toward none, with charity toward all." As a boy he worked hard with his hands; he entered the Army as a private soldier; he knew poverty; he earned his own livelihood; and by his own exertions he finally rose to the position of a man of moderate means. Not merely was he In personal touch with farmer and town dweller, with capitalist and wageworker, but he felt an intimate understanding of each, and therefore, an Intimate sympathy with each; and his consistent effort was to try to judge all by the same standard and to treat all with the same justice. Arrogance toward the weak and envious hatred of those well off, were equally abhorrent to his just and gentle soul. Attitude Commendable. Surely thi3, attitude of his should be the attitude of ail our people today. It would be a cruel disaster to this country to permit ourselves to adopt an attitude of hatred and envy toward success worthily won, toward wealth honestly acquired. Let us In this respect profit by the example of the republics of this Western Hemisphere to the south of us. Some of these republics have prospered greatly; but there are certain ones that have lagged far behind, that still continue in a condition of material poverty, of social and political unrest and confusion. Without exception the republics of the former class are those in which honest industry has been assured of reward and protection; those where a cordial welcome has been extended to the kind of enterprise which benefits the whole country, while Incidentally, as Is right and proper, giving substantial rewards to those who manifest it. On the other hand, the poor and backward republics, the republics in which the lot of the average citizen is least deslr able, and the lot of the laboring man ORDINa

worst of all, are precisely those republics in which Industry has been killed because wealth exposed its owner to spoliation. To these communities foreign capital now rarely comes, because it has been found that as soon as capital is employed so as to give substantial remuneration to those supplying it, it excites ignorant envy and hostility, which result in such oppressive action, within or without the law, as sooner or later to work a virtual confiscation. Every manifestation of feeling of this kind in our civilization should be crushed at the outset by the weight of a sensible public opinion. War on Wrong Doing. From the standpoint of our material prosperity there is only one other thing as important as the discouragement of a spirit of envy and hostility toward honest business men, toward honest men of means; this Is the discouragement of dishonest business men, the war upon the chicanery and wrongdoing which are peculiarly repulsive, pecularily noxious, when exhibited by men who have no excuse of want, of poverty, of Ignorance, lor their crimes. Men of means, and above all men of great wealth, can exist in safety under the peaceful protection of the state, only in orderly societies, where liberty manifests itself through and under the law. It is these men who, more than any others, should, in the interests of the class to which they belong, in the in terests of their children and their children's children, seek in every way, but especially in the conduct of their lives, to Insist upon and to build up respect for the law. It may not be true from the standpoint of some particular individual of this class, but In the long run it is preeminently true from the standpoint of the class as a I whole, no less than of the country at la whole, that It is a veritable calamity to achieve a temporary triumph by violation or evasion of the law; and we are the best friends of the man of property, we show ourselves the jEtaunchest upholders of the rights of ; property, when we Bet our faces like flint against those offenders who do wrong in order to acquire great wealth or who use this wealth as a help to wrongdoing. Example Is Set. Wrong doing is confined to no class. Good and evil are found among both rich and poor, and in drawing the line among our fellows we must draw it on AND SLACK

conduct and not on worldly possessions. In the abstract most of us will admit, this. In the concrete we can act upon such doctrine only If we really have knowledge of any sympathy with one another. If both th wageworker and the capitalist are able to enter each into the other's life, to meet him so as to get into genuine ympa thy with him, most of the misunder- ! standing between them will disappear and its place will be taken by a judgment broader, Juster, more kindly, and more generous; for each will find in the other the same essential human attributes that exist In himself. It was President McKinley'a peculiar glory that in actual practice he realized this as it is given to but few men to realize it; that his broad and deep sympathies made him feel a genuine 6ense of oneness with all his fellow-Americans, whatever their station or work In life, so that to his soul they were all joined with him In a great brotherly democracy of the spirit. It is not given to many of us In our lives actually to realize this attitude to the extent that be did; but we can at least have it before us as the goal of our endeavor, and by so doing we shall pay honor better than in any other way to the memory of the dead president whose services in life we this day commemorate.
