HIS I.I IK, BUT . - HIS FBIEJfD IS KILLED. ., Hartford, March 22 "With a few in significant grease spots on his coat tails as- the only evidence of his exper ience, William Scott, of Westminster, British Columbia, a tobacco dealer, es caped death at the Avon street grade crossing in this city, yesterday, by calmly standing sideways as two ex press trains dashed past him in op posite directions. Mr. Scott's friend, Thomas H. Ryan, of Bing'hampton, thought he could es cape from the predicament by darting across the tracks; but he was struck by one of the trains and ground: to pieces. Before they discovered their plight the trains were almost on the men. who were walking from one side of the grade crossing to the other. Mr. Scott alone realized there was no time to get past either of "the trains and he decided to take his chances, be cause he remembered having read that there is Just enough room for a person to stand sidewise between two trains. -There was a blinding- flash of head lights, a roar and suffocating blast of diist for: what seemed an hour," said Mr. Scott later. - "I knew I could not move one-half an inch either way, and so I escaped wifch, just this grease where my coat was drawn out to the engine drivers. When the gate man saw me as he came out to pick up poor Ryan he was the most amazed person you ever saw. He thought I, too,-had been killed."' Ryan's body was found 200 yards down the tracks.

TRAINMAN SIMMONS NOT T0L0SE LIMB First Report of His Mishap Was Exaggerated He's Pursued by a Hoodoo Charles Simmons of 1250 Main St., the freight brakeman who was in jured in an accident at Great Har rington, Mass., last Wednesday night will' not lose the leg which was so badly mangled. At the House of Mercy hospital in Pittsfield where Simmons is confined, it was stated today that the leg will be saved al though part of the heel and part of the flesh from the ankle to the knee will have to be amputated. The limb will probably always be etif f but Simmons will be able to walk on it. At the time of the accident Sim mons was switching on freight train 1882-1883 which runs . between this city and State Line, Mass., ' on the western division. He was struck by a section of the train and three cars ran over him. He was immediately taken in the caboose to Pittsfield. The accident recalls the fact that Simmons has been unfortunate in the past. A year ago' this month he was switching in Derby when he was struck by a passenger train. His Jaw, right arm, three ribs and left leg were broken. His escape from death was considered miraculous at that time. " Simmons is a member of Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, Lodge 201. He originally came from New iMilford but has been living in this city about two years.

PROF. PHELPS. ' Richmond, ' Va, 5 ' (March- 22Mark Twain attributed his long -and healthy life to his constant violation of - all " the rules j of right rliving,- according., to Dr. William - Lyon-Phelps ' of '.Yale, who de livered a lecture ;at the Richmond-, Col lege recently about the humorist. .. . Dr. "Phelps" was a personal f riend-of Twain, -and-spoke of -Twain's life as a wonderful romance, in which every.- cir cumstance tended to.push.him forward in the -great career for .which -.he .was destined." .In his youth he said" he had no literary ambition, and .he." would never have left j his position ' as" a Mississippi River pilot tout for the out break of the civil , war. ? . , He- then - be came" aiminer. in ' the West, and missed striking ail ' immense " fortune toy five minutes, so that he, remained poorand had "to become a newspaper man. He was sent abroad) as a correspondent, and the book, "Innocents Abroad", which first made hisi reputation, was the result. - The - great flaw- in Twain's charac ter, said Dr. Phelps, was his pessim ism, for, with. all his humor, he con sidered life wholly bad." He declared in all seriousness that hie always felt happier "at a funeral than at a wed ding, because at a wedding the trou ble was Just beginning, whereas at a funeral it was all over. "Mark, at one time," continued -' Dr. Phelps, "said that for twenty-four vears he had known that life was not worth living." This trait, Dr. Phelps said, showed-that although a great lit erary artist, he was not a great phil osopher. Dr. ' Phelps read' several letters from Twain to him, including one which was brobably " the last that he wrote. Mark Twain's humor, he said, was the typical American humor, having noth ing of the cynicism and mockery of the French, nor of the careless good humor of the Irish. American humor he defined as an explosive reaction against American nervousness. It was a sort of broad and incongruous buf foonery; REFORM CONVICT KILLED BY THUG HE BEFRIENDED .Chicago, March 23 "Dick" Lane, familiarly known as "Dead-eye Dick" who for 45 years led the life of a criminal, serving five prison terms during the time, and who for the last 16 years had engaged in evangelistic) work, died, yesterday, the victim of a thug he had sought, to reform. A few weeks ago he took -home with him a man who had started out for a night's work as a pickpocket. He 'talked with him and thought he had him started on the right path. A few days later this same man re turned with three' thugs and the quartet assaulted and robbed Lane and fled. Lane was eeriouely assault ed and failed steadily. During his career as a criminal, Lane was equally skillful as a pick pocket, highwayman, safe blower and burglar. He was a friend of such notorious criminals as Eddie Guerin, 'Baldmore Pat", "Red" Farrell. "Chi cago Jack" Merlweather and John Barry. According to his own statements, robberies in which he participated netted more than $2,000,000. He began in Philadelphia when 18. years of age and operated in every large city in the country. He became converted in Chicago while attending a mission a few hours after he had been ordered by the police to flee the city. He went.to H. H. Kohlsaat and told his story.

Copenhagen M.arch 22.- The senti ment of nationalism is growing in Denmark by leaps' and bounds, and a notable result is the collection of a huge public fund for the defense of the country. Repeated demands en the government for additional fortifi cations have met with little response, and private interests have now deter mined to take up the work. The subscription is headed toy the King and Queen, and other -members of the royal family have contributed generously. The money is now pour ing in from all sources, schools, busi ness .houses and offices contributing freely. Several artists have donated their paintings to be sold for the fund. The present unrest in Europe is largely responsible for the interest In this - remarkable measure of national defense. The Danish people feel that In the case of a war between any of the great powers, their country would be crushed unless they are in a posi tion to enforce armed neutrality. No nation in Europe is taking more interest in the opening of the Pana ma canal than Denmark. The East Asiatic Company is mak ing arrangements to run a direct line of steamships from Copenhagen to the Golden Gate via the canal, and Den mark expects that the new waterway will place the fruits and wines of the Pacific coast i within reach of her purse, as well as provide a market for her products. . The visit to Copenhagen of the Com missioners ;of the Panama-Pacific . In ternational Exposition . aroused ' great local Interest, and Denmark is deter mined to be adequately represented at the San Francisco fair. , This feeling of neighborliness with the United States was increased by the recent gift of Rebbild -Park to Denmark by a large group of Danish -Americans. Many Danish merchants have return ed recently from tours of the United States, where they went to get into touch with the latest business meth ods, and the closeness with which American political and financial con ditions are studied is indicated by a number of new Danish laws modeled on those of the United States. Edward W. Winslow, the American Consul-General here, declares that American trade with the Scandinavian countries during the past year estab lished a high water mark. , America is learning rapidly that Copenhagen: occupies for Scandinavia the same place London does for the rest of Europe, and as a clearing house, that the Danish metropolis acts as a barometer of trade between the United States and the northern coun tries of Europe. American merchants find the free harbor of Copenhagen an excellent distributing point. It is in teresting to note, 3ays Mr. Winslow, that there , is no prejudice against American goods; on the contrary, they are preferred. Denmark is now buy ing from the United States in large amounts corn, machinery, oils, boots, and shoes, cotton garments, flour, canned fruits, apples and ready made clothing, and she is sending in return garden seeds, sugar beet seeds, raw hides, oerdials, flint pebbles, dried fish, Icelandic' wool, and beer. During the past year the Danish exports to the United States have increased by $1,- 000,000. The tourist trade is also growing. Hardly a family in Denmark is with out relatives in America, and conse quently Americans are made very wel come. The Consul-General declares that not only the cordial welcome ex tended to American tourists is making Denmark popular, but also the fact that everywhere in ' the country they find their own tongue spoken. causes run-down health and sickness. Scott's Emulsion and rest are needed, .but SCOTT'S EMULSION is more important because it enriches the blood, nourishes the nerves builds the body and restores strength, vigor and immediate energy without interrupting daily duties. Scott's Emulsion drives out colds and strengthens the lungs. Scott & Bowne, The yacht Constance, said to be th oldest ship in the world in active nr vice, has just been sold to a fisher man of Skaw, up in Jutland, who wii: use the ancient craft in his trade. Tr,. Constance was built in 1720, one hun dred and ninety-three years ago, ar,4 in her long life she has sailed Into al most every port in the world, il-r timbers are still staunch, and her ns-w owner declares he can see no reason why she should not sail the seas for a century to come. There is good reason to believe that Prince Erick cousin of King Gvorzt of England and King Christian r.i Denmark, will complete his farmtr, education by a tour of the asrrlculttir al districts of the United States. f'-r several years the Prince has ben j?t work on his farm' on Fionia Islan-I with intervals spent at agrtcultur-ii colleges. Next stfmmer he will sro ti England to study agricultural or.'l,' tions there, and afterwards he sail for America. If this young Prince considers th he should go to the United States t learn agriculture, it is'alao apparent that the American authorities are con. vineed that Danish agricultural Insti tutions have much to commend thorn, for only last week a special govern ment commission arrived here fr-m Washington ,and has already starf'l to study the rural schools, agricoitijra I schools and. co-operative agricultural societies of Denmark. The romt"i of the Commission are H. W. Fogh. Bureau of Education, Department 'A the Interior; L.L. Friend, State H'lf-r-visor of High Schools of West "Vir ginia, and W. H. Smith, Rural Scho',! Inspector of Mississippi. The Commission will remain tor three months in Denmark, and on it return make a report on the taciliii-1 for agricultural education In a coun try where the science has been de-l. oped more extensively than in nn9 other country in the world. Just at present the American visitors are in vestigating the highly successful nn, l landholders' school at Rin gated. The American Minister to Denmark, Maurice Egan, has given denial to th persistent rumors that the Danish sto. ernment has approached him with proposition for the purchase from t"r.-i United States of the island of lind anao, in" the Philippines. He 6o" not deny that certain prominent lMn have proposed that Denmark ihoii I exchange Greenland for Mlndna-), with the privilege of trading the laf.'r to" Germany for S lea vie, but he d .-- deny that such a proposition w; made to him by the German govr menf.
