THE COEKIXG RAILROAD DISASTER.
Evidence at the inquiry into the cause
of the terrible railroad disaster at Corn
ling, X. Y., in which over forty lives were
llost, went to show that the engineer
of the train waa in a "staggering drunk"
j condition four hours before he was ached
luled to enter the cab and begin his swift
'run, while other evidence asserted that
!the engineer had to be called twice be
fore he responded to the summons to
i start the train and, moreover, that liti
! denied, on climbing into the cab, th'tt
'anyone had called him. The first start
1 ling feature of the evidence was sup
plied by a long-time friend of the engi
neer, reluctanctly supplied, to be sure,
but' quite conclusive as coming from a
' person who would not willfully accme
the engineer. The other evidence wai
presented by fellow-employes of the rail
road. If such were the facts in the case,
there is a tremendous liability hanging
over the engineer. But more than that,
there is a burden of responsibility rest
ing on his superiors, who permitted the
nuin to take charge of one of the conn
try's fastest trains, bearing scorts of
passengers. Other railroad men knew
the conditions; those immediately in au
thority above -him must have been cog
nizant of the facts also, ' inasmuch as
the engineer is reported to have been
late in entering his cab and starting the
fatal trip. Therefore, why was the en
gineer permitted to have charge of the
train? In seeking the immediate causes
of the disaster, the court of inquiry
should go further up. To place the full
j blame on the engineer would not be jua-
I tice to all concerned.
j Another lesson to be learned from this
j disaster, if the testimony is reliable, is
the wisdom of the modern policy adhered
to by many railroads in hiring men for
their work, in insisting that the appli
cants give satisfactory proof that they
are not addicted to drink. Xon-drinkers,
only, deserve places of such great re
sponsibility.

Thoughtful Georgia.
Tapa," said Georgie, "It worries me
awful to think bow much trouble I
give mamma,"
"She hasn't complained.
"No; she's Tery patient But she of
ten sends me to the shops for things,
and they are a good way off, and I
know she get's cross waiting when
she's In a hurry.'' '
"Not often, I fancy."
"Ob, she's nearly always in a hurry.
She gets everything all ready for bak
ing and finds at the last minute she
hasn't any yeast, or she gets a pudding
all mixed and finds she hasn't any
nutmeg or something, and tben she's
In an awful stew, 'cause the oven Is
all ready, and maybe visitors are com
ing, and I can't run a very long dis
tance, you know, and I feel awful sor
ry for poor mamma."
"Humph! Well, what can you do
about it?"
"I was thinking you might get me a
bicycle." Pearson's Weekly.
Where Was It?
President Mellen of the New Haven
likes railroad stories, no matter what
the variety, and was Immensely pleas
ed with one of the lesser officials the
other day when be told him this one
as being not only true, but as an oc
currence In the New Haven station:
A nervous lady stopped a baggage
master and demanded to know why
her train was arriving so late.
"Well," said he, "it's Just like this:
The train ahead is behind, and this
train was behind before besides,"
The lady could not figure It, and nei
ther for a moment cruld President

"Neither Does the Editor."
A man who own eighty acres of land
and has sense enough to till it makes
the lot of country newspaper men look
like the last sad remnant of a Dutcb
lunch.
The farmer has the best of it all
around. lie is as independent as an
express company. He doesn't have to
write a soulful obituary over some
peak headed fellow that keeps on dis
play an exhibit of cut plug profanity
that would make the efforts of a
steamboat mate sound like the meeting
of the Epworth league. He doesn't
have to go into raptures over the
beauty of an open face bride with a
cast of countenance that would blow
out the gas.
The farmer isn't required to lie until
. his back teeth fall out about the
sterling manhood of a bridegroom with
ears like a cauliflower plant and tbe
- brain power of a yearling shote. He
doesn't have to run a contest for the
most beautiful young lady In the com.
munity, make everybody sore and then
print a seventy-five cent half tone of
the beauty that looks like a tintype of
grandma at the age of thirteen.

Essential to Success.
Lambert Kaspers, Chicago attorney,
told the following story at a recent
Young Men's Christian association ban
quet: A Kansas farmer, a Dane, applied
for naturalization papers. Tbe judge
asked him, "Are you satisfied with tbe
general conditions of the country?"
"Yas," drawled the Dane.
"Does the government suit you?"
queried the judge.
"Yas, yas; only I would like to see
more rain," replied the farmer. Chi
cago Tribune.
Words of Weight
"Tbe ancients used to write in clay
and tben bake It"
"Yes." replied the man who was
reading the latest speech. "In those
days when they spoke of hurling epi
thets at a man It meant something,"

Taking No Chances.
"I see in this paper that Dr. Wiley
lays a wife is entitled to one-third of
the husband's salary."
"Yes. The trouble Is that so many
wives don't seem to know which third
it is and take all three." Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
Calcimining the Lily.
The Manchester Guardian has a
story which aptly illustrates our habit
of "bettering instruction." The Japa
nese ambassador had been lunching
with Mr. Leopold Rothschild and was
being conducted around the wonderful
gardens at Gunnerebury. "At last,
after careful preparation, the Japanese
garden was, so to speak, 'burst open
before him.' He held up bis hands In
enthusiasm. 'Ahf be said. "Wonder
ful! Wonderful we have nothing like
this in Japan.' "Pail Mall Gazette.
, Hope Springs Eternal,
"Now, ladles and gentlemen," said
the conjurer, pointing to his magic
cabinet. "I beg to call your attention
to tbe great illusion of the evening. I
will ask any lady in the audience to
enter the cabinet I will then close
the door. When I open it again the
lady will have disappeared, leaving no
trace."
In the second row of the audience a
puny, undersized man with a haunted,
harassed expression turned, with a
strange gleam of hope in his dull,
mild eyes, to an enormous female who
sat next to him. She had a strong,
stern face, with black, beetling brows
and a chin like the ram of a first class
battleship. "Maria, dear," he said
eagerly, "won't you oblige the gentle
man?" Ideas.
