My husband got up on top of the car and helped to take the dead and dying out. "One of the first bodies taken out was that of a little girl with her head crushed. It was the most terrible thing I ever saw. "My husband came down from the top of the car and told me that he could see the old conductor, standing upright, just as though he was collecting tickets. He was dead. He looked natural. He had his glasses on, and they were not even broken. "But the thing that made us all cry was the taking out of a dead mother and her child. The child was clasped In her arms when they found her. Cries of Scalded. "It was terrible to hear the cries of a scalded man who was taken from (the wreckage. He was taken into the Wilson home next door to ours. We carried water to the wounded. They were crying for it." There were telephones nearby and it was not long until the members of the Irvington fire department and other firemen and police from the city arrived. There was an almost complete telescope of the two engines. They reared up toward each other. It was not until daylight that one of the engineers jwas discovered in the wreckage of his cab, scalded to death. The baggage car was badly splintered, but the two passenger cars just 'behind it were damaged worse. They ilooked more like a big heap of kindling than railroad cars. The passenger cars were telescoped like the engines. ; The entrances between the cars were so filled with wreckage and joined with each other that it was impossible to rescue the dead and Injured through them. The heavy tender of one of the locomotives was thrown .clear out on the main track by the Impact. Eternity closed upon four members of the family of Cliftcfh Chaney of Jackson, Ky. The wife and brother of Clifton Chaney and their baby were found with him with hands outstretched as if yearning for a last embrace. While Carl Groce, the head brakeman of the freight train lies at his home with a broken leg bemoaning the mistake that brought on the manifold tra ?dy Superintendent White of the C. H. & D. declares that his investigation places the responsibility upon Gross without any doubt. Gross declared when he became conscious that the switch was left open by one of his men, but he also said that the passenger train got the signal that the track was clear. A letter Written by Florence Gross from San Francisco to her brother Carl Gross was received yesterday and told of a premonition of impending danger. She wrote as follows: "Dear Carl I am sending you a necktie for a birthday present. I can't send you anything expensive as I am saving money to come to Indianapolis when you are injured or killed. You must quit the road for it will surely come, and I am sure it will come very soon." Under the above circumstances our accident policy pays double indemnity. Dougan, Jenkins & Co. 13-lt MAKE MEATS GO FARTHER. We Americans find it harder to give up eating meat even in spite of the present prices, which seem bound to continue. The problem of the American housewife is to maKe meats go as far as possible, and to this end there is nothing more helpful than macaroni and spaghetti. The better grades of American-made macaroni and spaghetti are, pound for pound, more nourishing than meat, and when combined with just enougfc meat to flavor it, dishes made with it have all the nourishing and delicious qualities of entire meat dishes. Here are two recipes which are most excellent and which every housewife, who is relly interested in reducing her meat bills, should try for herself as soon as possible. She is certain to have one or both on her table pretty regularly if she gives her family a chance to pass their judgment. Spaghetti With Chicken. This is an improved way of making chicken pie, and has the further merit of making one chicken go as far as two when stewed or roasted in the ordinary way. One chicken boiled until very tender; take the meat off the bones, and pick into small pieces. While this Is being done, boll and drain without breaking the sticks, a five-cent package of spaghetti, as directed In the package. When chicken and spaghetti are ready, butter a baking dish and put in a layer of spagheti; then put in a layer of chicken, season to suit taste; then a layer of spaghetti, and so on until the material is used, making last layer spaghetti. Thicken the liquor in which the chicken was boiled and add one cup of milk and pour over the whole, and bake half an hour or until top is browned. Spaghetti With Minced Ham. Any left-overs of roast or boiled meats may be utilized to make this delicious dish. Boil and drain without breaking yie sticks, a five-cent package of spaghetti as directed in the package. Take one onion and a cupful of chopped ham; brown in butter; then add spagheti, cover top with grated cheese and bake until brown. Advertisement

HALE ON WILSON
William Bayard Hale, Formerly of This City, Writes Entertaining Life of Wcodrow Wilson. BobbsMerrill Company's Autumn Novel Crop.
BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "For Beauty I am not a star; There are others handsomer, far; But my face I don't mind it. For I am behind it; 'Tis the people In front that I jar!" So wrote Woodrow Wilson in a moment of "light persiflage," for the coming President of the United States is a limerick writer of parts and a famous raconteur. All of which Is told fascinatingly enough by Dr. William Bayard Hale in "Woodrow Wilson A Story of His Life" published by Doubleday, Page & Co. Dr. Hale Is an entertaining writer. And never more so than when writing about Presidents of the Republic. Instanced by "A Week in the White House with Theodore Roosevelt," which had a great sale at the time of its publication. While Woodrow Wilson's life cannot be lined up with the thrillers it is still an interesting study, in that it is typical of that of a certain class, and its perusal on the printed page is more or less absorbing. Wilson is generally ranked as a Southerner. But if he can so be classed it is rather by accident than ancestral habitat since his birth In Staunton, Virginia, followed a removal of his clergyman father from Ohio, and his continued residence in that section was due to his father's various clerical appointments in cities of the South, mainly in Georgia and South Carolina. Wilson's paternal forebears were Scotch Irish, his grandfather coming to this country early in the last century, the Wilsons living in Ohio and Pennsylvania until the residence of Woodrow Wilson's father in Virginia and the latter's attachment to the Presbyterian church, South. That Woodrow Wilson did not learn the alphabet until he was nine years old goes to prove nothing in particular since it was merely an educational experiment on the part of his mother who was inimical to the English method of infantile cramming of which she had been a victim, a system of absorp tion being substituted by her through much reading aloud of the classics to the Wilson youngster. Like Dickens, Wilson learned stenography In his college days recognizing its value in the class-room and as conducing to clarity of thought, but the record of his salad and college days varies little from that of the average youth of democratic ambitions but aristocratic manners from a family representative of intelligence and culture but not wealth. The most significant phase of his college life was his interest in the science of government as related to the institutions of this country, Wilson, in his senior year at Princeton haying written an article, accepted by a leading magazine of the day, called "Cabinet Government in the United States," in which he denounces secrecy as "the atmosphere in which all corruption and evil flourishes." "Congress should legislate as if in the presence of the whole country, in open and free debate," says Wilson in this article, and Dr. Hale adds "these words were written thirty-two years ago." To those who regard Woodrow Wilson as an impracticable theorist it might be pointed out that for twelve years he was the head of the department of jurisprudence and politics in Princeton and that he was the first layman to become president of this university. Woodrow Wilson's fight with the alumni of the University in his effort to eliminate false social standards and snobbishness by the introduction of a different housing and preceptorial system, and his failure, his election to the governorship of New Jersey, and his contest with the bosses of his own party In that commonwealth, is familiar to the public, but forms the most absorbing part of Dr. Hale's narrative. "It is surely an interesting prospect held out by this taking of the center of the stage of national politics by a man made up of the combination of qualities which Woodrow Wilson possesses. "It is the combination of the gentleman and scholar and the practical politician. "Imagine a type of culture in its finest flower and then add to his endowment, tact, method, efficiency, a shrewd knowledge of men, a sense of humour, a passion for facts, a zest for constructive work and you begin to get something like a picture of the remarkable man whose history, now but entered upon, this biography has so inadequately narrated, and whose personality it has so imperfectly pictured." Imagine "Get Rich Quick Wallingford" ship-wrecked on a Prisoner of Zenda shore and you have "The Jingo," by the versatile George Randolph Chester, just published by the BobbsMerrill Company. In this Arcadia there are no telephones, sewing-machines, airships or corsets but there is a beautiful princess and a moldy king with a dogeared prince-cousin or two in the offing who start revolutions when the princess, in love with the Wallingford hero, refuses to enter into a matrimo nial compact which will unite two of those famed ancient houses which are invariably found in these mythical kingdoms. The story is what Is sometimes termed "a rattling good one" and its burlesque diverting. "The Sign at Six," is a curious tale Written by Stewart Edward White and published by the Bobbs-Merrill Company. Curious, but fascinating. And, as said somewhere in the book, appealing to those with imagi nation.
It concerns the play of a mad scientist with unseen forces and who, to take out a grievance against the boss of the metrQpolis, sends out wlre-
! less warnings from some obscure spot, which he follows up with experimentations in nullifying the powers of sense and Bound. In other . words he cuts off the denizens of a great city from light, heat and power j for some agonizing intervals, but is I finally run to cover before he demonstrates his scientific prowess too forcibly. J The story, however, has, strangely j enough in this day of their paucity, an idea. I It is the dependability of man upon jthe push-button. i "As a city dweller," says the story, j "he was becoming a mollusk, -a crea- ' ture that could not exist wjthout its j shell. The city transported him, warm- ! ed him, fed him, amused him, protected him. He had nothing to do with it !in any way; he didn't even know how it was done. Deprived of his push-but tons, he was helpless as a baby. He not only didn't know how to do things, but he was rapidly losing, through disuse, the power to learn how to do things. "The modern city dweller, bred, born, brought up on this island. Is about as helpless and useless a man, considered as a four-square, self-reliant individual, as you can find on the broad expanse of the globe." But this is "good medicine! At last every man jack of them is up against something he has to decide for himself. He's buying back his self reliance. Self-reliance is a valuable pro perty." All of which is in line with Mr. White's "back to nature" propaganda. "The Woman," is a novelized play. And like all books of this character it lacks the charm of narrative. The machinery creaks. And the exits stick their heads out of chapters and grin at you. All the same there is a lot of good stuff In this story made over from a popular play. Its situation Is more or less Im probable. But its conclusion is logically work ed out. It concerns a Woman, an early lapse in her regard of the conventions, and Its consequent effect upon the for tunes of a political party and the lat ter's exponents. There is a telephone girl that talks like an oracle and who saves the day. Likewise the woman. And there's good talk on every page. For example "No woman ever loved a man be cause he was good." "Those same trifles and his wild extravagance of praise and the quick noticing of anything she puts on to please him, are the cords that lash a woman's heart to a man's. "It would be like all sacrifices. In time one gets to hating the person one made them for." "'Careful! she mocked. "On the phone! Not one in forty. And the "careful" ones are the easiest of all. They mostly forget that central is a live girl and not a machine. If there's anything a telephone girl doesn't linow It's because It Isn't worth knowing." "People don't vote for principles. They vote for personalities." "Laws are for the many. Not for the few. And the few must obey them for the good of the many." "Graft couldn't last as long as a tallow dog chasing an asbestos cat through hell if the public didn't permit it." Bobbs-Merrill Company. In the muck of new books mostly good and yet bad in that they have no raison d'etre you now and then stumble across something that holds the attention. And thus does "The Marshall" by Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews. "The Marshall" is a little French peasant boy who is what has sometimes been termed "one of nature's noblemen." He falls in with people of rank with whom his fortunes are cast and among whom the shuttle of the story weaves. Adopted by a certain Baron he becomes involved in the earlier career of Louis Napoleon, comes to America to look after the Virginia estates of a young Italian of the nobility whose guardian the Baron is, and finally returns to France to enter the service of Napoleon, for whom he dies. But the allurment of the story is not in its incident but in its characterization and in the creation of the player of the title role. And above all, in the telling. For this is done with the acumen of the artist. And is very rare in this day of glorified mediocrity. But it is "The Marshall" who torches the heart. He is one of those exquisitely molded beings whose lot It is to stand alone apart, isolated, separate but yearning with hands outstretched toward that near, yet distant, shore where unheedingly chatter his human counterparts. You will cry if you read "The Marshall," and it's the Marshall who will make you cry. Although it's the last thing in the world he'd want you to do. Bobbs-Merrill Company.

Kidney Trouble Vanishes GAINED EIGHTEEN POUNDS.
Some time ago I was troubled with what the doctors pronounced to be floating kidney. I was complete run down and so weak and exhausted that ' if I did my housework one day I , would have to stay in bed the next. I i doctored with several physicians and they all told me that my kidneys would never be well. I decided .to try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and found that I got relief. I continued the use of Swamp-Root and today my kidneys are in fine shape and I am enjoying the best of health. Have gained eighteen pounds, and feel as well as ever in my life.

DR. LYOIIS SPEAKS Oil HOME MISSIDHS Urges the Establishment of Churches in Newly Opened Territory in West.
A crowd that almost filled the Second English Lutheran church attended the second union home mission week service last night. The speaker of the evening was Dr. S. R. Lyons, whose subject was "The Frontier and Our Island Possessions." The meeting tonight at the First Presbyterian church is expected to be the largest of the series. The speaker will be Mrs. F. F. McCrea of Indianapolis, who will speak on "Mormonism Today." Mrs. McCrea is said ! to be well informed on her subject and ' will be able to throw some much need-' ed light on this timely question. Mrs. F. M. Krueger and Mrs. Fred J. Bartel will sing. This meeting will be under the direction of the Women's Mis-! sionary societies of the city, but the men as well as the women are invited. In regard to the frontier, Dr. Lyons said last night, that strictly speaking this country no longer has a frontier, but that as the conservation of our national resources is. making arid land fertile, the new settlements springing up still call for home mission work. The work of conservation does not end with the land, but must be continued till a moral and religious conservation is effected among the people. "A great field for mission work has been opened up by the acquisition of Porto Rico and the Philippines, and the close relation of the United States and Cuba. In these islands where over fifty per cent of the inhabitants are illiterate, and where government has been unstable and sanitary laws almost unknown, our government has rendered invaluable service in establishing educational systems, methods of sanitation and better forms of government. But an even greater work remains to be done in the moral and religious uplift of the people. "This is the problem of the home mission enterprise.. Great advance has been made by many of the denominations in establishing missions and churches, and phenomenal results have been seen in many places. But the problam has scarcely been touched as yet. "There is a great responsibility on the churches to prosecute this work vigorously, for all else we have given the people Is but vain mockery if they do not have the fear of God in their hearts. "While practically all Christians admit the need of the people and in a way acknowledge the obligation, yet there must be more than a theoretical belief in the work. There must be that loyalty to Jesus Christ and devotion to His cause that will put the means and the lives of Christian people at His disposal for the sake of accomplishing the work." Buying Fish In Copenhagen. Copenhagen has a model fish market, built by the municipality. With the exception of the larger varieties, like cod and halibut, all the fish are kept alive in tesselated tanks filled with running water. There Is no other town whereall the fish, whether cheap or dear, are so beautifully fresh. In the harbor there are a large number of wooden boats pierced with holes and filled with fish. These boats Jnst float on the surface of the water, and the living fish are taken out of them when wanted. But. as every one cannot go to the water's edge to buy fish, there are water tanks on wheels, and the live fish are brought to the doors of the people's houses. More than

RESEHTS ATTEHT10H Sittloh Smashes Murray and Is Fined for the Blow.
Harry Sittloh was fined Jl and costs in police court after being found guilty of assault and battery on Sylvester Murray. The testimony showed that the boys started a row when Sittloh objected to Murray's attention to his lady friend. In the fisticuff that resulted, Murray received a blow on the head. Sittloh received the minimum fine for the offense. Tommy Reivs, colored, was arrested last night at the city building on suspicion. Reivs had been too regular in his visits to the basement of the city building where he spent the night. He was asked to give an account of himself in police court this morning. He told the court the various places where he had worked and said he had not been able to support his mother and rent a room for himself. He has been loafing In saloons. After promising the court to behave he was allowed to depart. Got Smith, colored, pleaded guilty to a charge of assault and battery on George Robinson, also colored, and was fined (1 and costs. The fight took place on Ft. Wayne avenue yesterday. His Incurable Disease. The late John Hay had been ailing one time, and a friend made bold to ask what the trouble was. "1 am suffering from an Incurable disease," Mr. IIay replied with due gravity. Delicacy prevented the friend from making, further inquiry, but he told the story to acquaintances, and the report Eoon spread through Washington that a deadly disease held the secretary of state within its grasp. At last an in tlmate acquaintance determined to as certain the nature of the secretary's ailment, and. meeting the latter one day, be said: "I have been told that you are suffering from an Incurable disease. Is It truer "It is." said Mr. Hay in a sad tone. "What is the incurable disease?" asked the Insistent acquaintance. "Old age." said Mr. Hay, with a chuckle. Ths Word -Striks." The earliest use of the word "strike" in the sense of stopping work occurs in the London Chronicle for September, 17C5. In connection with a coal strike. This publication reports a great suspension of labor in the Northumberland coal fields, and th colliers are stated to have "struck out" for a higher bounty before entering Into their nsual yearly "bond." The time honored illustration of profitless labor, "carrying coals to Newcastle." appears to have received Its first slap in the face during this strike. The Chronicle reports that "several pokes of coal were brought from Durham to Newcastle by one of the common, carriers and sold on the sand hill for nlnepence a poke, by which he cleared sixpence a poke." London Chronicle, Love. We are oft deceived In lore, and oftener wounded, and oftenest unhappy; but. after all. we love, and when we stand on the threshold of the tomb and turn about to look back upon the ground we have traversed It will be well if we can say, "I have suffered often, I have been deceived many times, but I have loved. It is I who have lived, therefore, and not a dream being created out of my pride and my weariness." Grorge Sand. Little Drops of Water.
