RAILROADS HAVE SPLENDID BECOBQ Railroads Entering New York Have Handled Passengers With Safety. AN UNFAIR COMPARISON STATISTICIANS INCLUDE TRAMPS AND NON-PASSENGERS KILLED IN COMPILING RECORDS IN THIS COUNTRY. New York, Feb. 7. One after another, the railroads running into New York are calling attention to their records in maintaining the safety of travelers. Since the first of the year the Lackawanna, the Erie and the Pennsylvania have issued statements of this kind. The Lackawanna's figures showed that it had not killed a passenger in ten years, during which time it transported 193,787,224 persons. The Erie, with its 2,171 miles of line and its total trackage of 4,581, has a record of five years without a fatality. In this period it carried 123,000,000 passengers. The Pennsylvania's recent statement showed a clean bill of health for 1908. The latest annual report of the Lehigh Valley contains the information that 4,876,801 passengers were transported during the year without a single fatality. Record for Three Years. In the three years 1906-7-8 three hundred and sixteen companies, operating 124,050 miles of road, did not kill a passenger. In 1909, according to the Bureau of Railway News in Chicago, 340 roads operating 153,000 miles of road have kept their score clean. In gathering figures about railroad accidents in this country, statisticians are accustomed to include tramps, other trespassers, and all persons who are killed while not actually traveling by rail. Often they compare this totat of fatalities with the fatalities only to passengers on European roads. IYom such a comparison, of course, the American record seems not so good relatively as it really is. As an illustration of the confusion that may result from this method, over 5,000 trespassers lost their lives on railroads in the United States last year. A great proportion of these were tramps who were stealing rides on- the trucks or roofs of cars. On one line over 9,000 trespassers were arrested during that time, and convictions were obtained in 75 percent of the cases. The danger from persons whose presence is authorized upon railroad property is not only to themselves but to the traveling public as well. The interstate commerce commission has the following figures on the increased safety of railroad operation : "Prom 1SSS to 1897 the fatalities were 1 in 45,300,000. "From 1897 to the present time the fatalities were 1 in 54,900,000. "Gain in ratio, over 20 percent-" For a good, wholesome, cheap hr.- fa&fr fllu-ava Vmv UTra Austin's pancake flour.

Trial Union Contract a Failure

Decision Was Rendered the Other Day in a Paris Court in a Remarkable Case W as an Important One.

Paris, Feb. 7 A remarkable contract of a trial marriage which proved a failure was exhibited in the Paris courts the other day. Viscomtess de Nuce brought an action to have the court force her trial husband marry her, but he claimed he merely made a contract with the woman and the idea of marriage, as usually and legally considered, was never contemplated. The contract was produced in evidence, which after stating the serious financial situation of the trial wife, she se forth her conditions which were, that she should receive Frs. 2,000 per month with which to pay off her indebtedness and to allow her a certain amount of spending money, but reservedf the right to make a change if among her many admirers she found one for whom she cared more than her trial husband or whose financial condition could be more beneficial to her. A fifteen days' notice had to be given of the proposed change of husbands. The trial husband, a well-known manufacturer, accepted these conditions and stated as his requirements from his trial wife that he also reserved the right to have other adventures and make a change on fifteen days' notice and stipulated that his trial wife should be faithful and true in all things and conduct herself in a dignified manner, never to wear loud clothes, but to always dress in plain, but elegant taste; never to go out alone VIRGINIANS ANGRY AT TRESPASS ORDER George Gould, the multimillionaire, who has been getting into trouble on his Virginia estates because of attempting to bar trespassers after the old established English fashion. His private ducking clubs at Back Bay, Princess Anne county, have just been wrecked by the angered residents of the locality, who resented the posted warning that no gunning would be allowed on the reservation. Heretofore hunters from all over the state have always had access to the preserve. Two arrests have only resulted in trivial fines before sympathizing magistrates. Two of Gould's keepers bare bean shot at

especially to cafes, theaters and restaurants and to never pose for the admiration of men or try to make herself conspicuous by her conduct. Jointly they agreed that the contract should have no limitation, but could be rendered null and void upon a fifteen days' notice, and that if either were met by the other accompanied by a companion of the opposite sex, the contract would become null and void at once. The court could not see how this contract constituted a promise of marriage. Some Frenchmen with nothing better to do has calculated that the famous Socialist leader, Jaures, has uttered 415.GC6 words in four years, counting only those spoken in the chamber of deputies. Jaures , like other French notables, makes his reputation part of his capital and charges for anything which he is asked to say in the public press in the way of interviews, so, what he has said for the public outside that which has been officially spoken in the chamber is consequently limited. ? In the heart of the forest of Apremont, living in a small wood cutter's cottage away off rom the world has been found the prize mother of France. The wife of Jeanne Baptiste Napoleon Grasset, a wood chopper of the forest, has given birth to twentythree children in twenty-three years of married life. She had twins in 1907 and triplets in 190S.

HARDY HENLEY HERE Harry Henley, who has been criticall ill with appendicitis, returned from Chicago this morning, where he recently underwent a successful operation in the Mercy hospital in that city. His condition is greatly improved and hopes are entertained for his complete recovery.
