A GREAT RECORD ; WAS ESTABLISHED

Past Year Not One Passenger on Panhandle Killed By Train Accident. WERE ONLY 102 ACCIDENTS DURING THE PAST YEAR THE SYSTEM CARRIED 141,659,543 PASSENGERS, SHOWING LOSS OF SEVEN PER CENT. Pittsburg. May 17. Reports just compiled of all accidents on the 2o,OUO miles of track of the Pennsylvania Railroad System for the past year, show that during r.siN the various lines of the System carried Hl.h',,54:i passengers, and that not one single passenger was killed as the result of an accident to a train. During the year the lines of the Sys tem carried 11,344,413 less passengers than in 1!M7 a loss of 7.4 per cent., but the total number of passengers In jured in train accidents numbered only 1, a reduction of 42 or M.5 per cent. from 1!N)7. These figures include ev ery case requirin surgical or medical attention, however trivial. It will thus appear that, counting every personal injury due to train wrecks, only one person out of every l,.'!Si,si', passen gers carried was injured. Injured Per Cent Small. The number of passengers traveling a distance of one mile during the year was 3.457.071,44i2, so that for each passenger carried one miie. the proportion was a.XSSt.tSoU carried in safe ty to one injured. " The passenger trains of the Pennsyl vania System during 1908 traveled 5vS.44O.440 miles. The fact that the millions of passengers carried were handled with much safety is made more significant by the fact that along side the passenger trains, freight trains were operated for a total of 60,293.996 miles. Statistics for the Pennsylvania Lino East of Pittsburgh, directly operated, show a total of SS,32S,fi04 passengers carried in 1908, and but 51 injured in train accidents. Passengers carried one mile numbered 2.148.457.351, so that 42,120.14 passengers travelled one mile oerore anyone was injurea through a train wreck. West of Pittsburg. On the Lines West of Pittsburg, directly operated. 22.314,209 passengers; were carried during the year, and there v. ere um i j iitjuicu aa iuc itouu , train accident. Thus the chances were l,?i12;KK'to one that every passenger who started upon a journey during the year would reach his destination in safety. Of the subsidiary lines, independent-, ly operated, the record of the Long Is-' land Railroad is most striking. That line carried during the year 23.242.83S passengers and only 17 were Injured in train accidents. Passengers carried one mile numbered nr.2.228.050. Thi3 line has now been operated for some fifteen years without a fatality to a passenger, 'due to a train wreck. On the Vandalia Railroad passenger trains traveled during the year. 2.583,jerr miles, and freight trains 2,836.3i miles. The number of passengers car ried was 3,273.947 and passengers car ried one mile lOrt.874,926, and only 11 were injured on account of accidents to trains.'. THE THEATER THEATRICAL CALENDAR. NEW PHILLIPS. All Week High Clas Vaudeville. (SENNETT THEATRE. June 1 and 8 Opera, "Priscilla." May 20- "The White Hat." May 21 "The Governor, the Girl and the Wise Guy." "The Governor, the Girl and the Wise Guy." "Music and Mirth in plenty" Is what a leading critic wrote in his review of the performance of the new musical comedy presented by The Wayne company at the Gennett theater for three nights engagement commencing Thursday, May 20. This opinion is but a repetition of that expressed wherever the performance has been accorded criticism. From a managerial standpoint the best proof that it pleases its audiences lies In the fact that return engagements are al most invariably requested. It is prom ised that it will be presented by an unusually strong company that Includes a cberus of twenty and with scenery and costumes which for lavishness will compare with those of any other like attraction now on the road. , - . ::A : The New Phillips.

The scenic effects and electrical displays are wonderful, both to the trained and untrained eye. The Itfe and vivacity put into the singing and dancing Is also a strong point in this company's favor. And the little comedy is good. too. Hamlin and Notes, the two girls put ting it on, do not make any bones about their acting but they, are certainly there.

Hains was today given an indeterminate sentence to Sipg Sing prison of from eight to sixteen years at hard labor, for killing William E. Annis, at Bayside yacht club last summer. Justice Garretson overruled the motion for a new trial, and declared the killing of Annis was unjustified. Captain Halns received his sentence without showing either regret or fear. When aBked his name, he replied, simply, "Halns." When asked If he was married he stood mute, but his counsel answered for him, saying "Yes." He Has No Home. Asked where his home was, he muttered in a faltering voice. "I have none." The counsel then moved that the verdict be set aside as contrary to the law and evidence,- but Justice Garretson overruled this and after the Junior counsel for Hains pleaded for leniency, in which he was joined by District Attorney Dewitt, the justice declared that Hains stood before the bar of justice the same as any other prisoner and proceeded with the sen tence as above. Mains' father and brother were in court and received the blow with much emotion. HISTORY ON A TUSK. Picture Made by a Cave Man Millions ef Ysars Ago. Long ago, so long that even a scien tist would hardly dare venture a guess as to the date, a man clad with only a wild beast's skin about his loins was sitting at the mouth of a cave in one of the rocky highlands In whst Is now southern France. He was scratching with a sharp flint on the fragments of an Ivory tusk, perhaps picturing for some youthful admirers adventures through which be bad passed or animals be bad slain. That Ivory chip was stored away as a treasure, to be lost snd forgotten after the cave man's death. One day a man named Lartet. digging la the cavern floor, found It On it was scratched a very fair representation of the hairy elephant probably at once the oldest picture snd the oldest human record In exlsteace. We know the cave man was a faithful workman, for the melting Ice fields of Siberia have yielded a perfect specimen of this extinct mammal, and the paleolithic picture Is a true copy. Not only has this ancient sculptor gtren-us a sample of the earliest art, but he haa left us. more valuable then alt. a historical record of his time, for this rude picture Is simply a page from the cave man's history which, translated Into twentieth century English, says. "Men. thinking men. were contemporaneous with the hairy elephant." No record that any of humankind have ever left It half so ancient as this. The oldest Egyptian papyrus Is a thing of yesterday compered to- this paleolithic sculpture. While the cave man .was living la Europe the valley of the Nile was yet only a wild waste.
