A libera! supply of scntimentalism Is good for a man; it keeps him from brooding over his nonperformances. A St. Louis man chewed up a $5 bill with a sandwich. At that it was about as cheap as a piece of meat of corre­ sponding size. Massachusetts woman wants a dl- Tlrse because her husband keeps a live lobster in the house.

A Chicago surgeon has discovered how to graft new extremities on the bodies of his patients. Science should, in this way, be able to assemble a •maw superior to the natural article.

Just what their rea­ soning is, la difficult to understand. Evidently, however, they are trying to meet boycott with boycott. The thrifty Dutch also are buying large amounts of American bonds and other securities for permanent and safe investment. The Netherlander are a canny folk, and when they make a purchase of this kind it is pretty strong testimony to the excellence of the bargain. That Culebra cut is one of the great difficulties in constructing the Panama canal.

Physicians have succeeded in mak­ ing the stethoscope and telephone so sensitive that the heart beats of a pa­ tient in London were distinctly trans­ mitted to a seismologist on the Isle of Wight.

The ex-Shah of Persia appears to have settled for himself at least the problem of what to do with deposed monarchs. He is studying medicine and hopes soon to become a practising physician. And that is a much more honorable and commendable proceed­ ing than dwelling apart in sullen idle­ ness or plotting revolutions against his country. Some other "exes" might imitate his example with much credit to themselves. Beverly, Mass.--A smile spread over the face of President Taft Thursday afternoon as he hurriedly left his work in the library of the Burgess Point eottage and rushed to the veranda when the Lodge limousine drove up, the "honk honk" of which was an­ nouncing the arrival of fbrmer Presi­ dent Roosevelt. They met just outside the door and simultaneously Taft clapped a hand on the Roosevelt shoulder as Roosevelt seized the president's hand in a strong grip. "Mr. President," exclaimed the one; and 'Theodore," cr'ed the ether. "By George," continned Roosevelt, "this is fine. I am mighty glad to see you, Mr. President." Thus, after a separation of sixteen months, Taft and Roosevelt met again, at the Taft cottage here in Beverly, with only Senator Lodge and Secre­ tary Norton present, all the rest of the world being barred out. Those who witnessed the meeting say it was characterised hy all the old-time cordiality of relations be­ tween the two--that there was the best of feeling displayed--and that the hearty bursts of laughter that pro­ ceeded first from the president and then from Roosevelt as they sat on the veraJbda and chatted for two hours and a half, was strongly reminiscent of the oM White House days. As to the talk between them--it covered a wide range of topics and there wy a period when the president and Roosevelt drew aside from the rest of the party and conversed in low tones. What was said must remain a secret, Itowever, between them, for Taft dMlined to make any statement after tfcfe colonel had departed and Roosefalt would say only that he had had a tboBt delightful time. In 9 long interview with Chairman Martifi A. Knapp of the commission Pridaf President Taft went exhaustive­ ly int«C the provisions of the new law and l£ter, in conversation with callers, he earnestly pointed out that there need be no apprehension that the com­ mission will run amuck or that the new law will be used to club indiscrim­ inately all railroads that propose an advance in rates. The law, the president pointed out, was not passed for the purpose of lowering rates, or even of holding all rates where they are at the time of the passage of the law, but rather for the purpose of equalizing rates. Fear has been expressed that the idea would go abroad that the United States government was about to em­ bark upon a campaign of oppression against all railroads, which would be disastrous to the railroad business, with crop moving time approaching, through the avoidance of American se­ curities by foreign investors. This is one of the things that the president desires to avoid. He is desirous of reassuring invest­ or* as well as the business managers of the railroads, that the latter are not to be clubbed, that the power of sus­ pension of increases in rates is not to be used on all rates, but only on those that appear to be unreasonable and that the proposed increases are only to be invalidated when they are proven to be unreasonable*. In support of this fixed policy of the interstate commerce commission it was pointed out in connection with the visit of Chairman Knapp that while the recent decisions of the com­ mission relative to freight rates in the west was against <t number of pro­ posed increases, the commission at the same time sustains some of the in­ creases and in all of the cases has al­ lowed the railroads until next Oc­ tober to show by a practical working of rates, as fixed by the commission, the reasonableness of the tatter's rulings. Of course It is guesswork as yet, and no one will know the actual popula­ tion of the United States until the decennial federal enumeration now in progress shall be completed. But word comes from Washington that census officials, basing their opinion on what has been learned thus far, believe that the total for the country will be not far from 100,000,000, which will surpass most estimates made pre­ viously. Diver Finds Man's Body. La Crosse, Wis.--John Murray, a diver, located the body of the man sup­ posed to be John Pleln of Waupun in the hull of the steamer "J.

Albany.--Swiftly and emphatically the senate fell in line with the adeem bly Friday and sent the Cobb direct nomination bill down to defeat The final vote was 25 ayes to 19 noes, seven Republicans combining with the Democrats against the bill. Twenty-six votes were necessary to pass the bill The measure was killed after the amendment-; proposed by Lloyd C. Griscom. ̂ chairman of the New York corporation committee, and indorsed by Theodore Roosevelt, had been In­ corporated in the measure by a vote of 24 to fcl. The progressive inheritance as amended and passed by the assembly was enacted by a vote of 38 to 4 and the bill providing for an appropriation of $25,000 for the expenses of the ex­ traordinary session was passed in both houses. The result of the fight in the senate was even a more positive refusal to accept Theodore Roosevelt's leader­ ship in the matter thnn that of the assembly. The direct tax bill failed of enact­ ment. MANY DIE IN CLOUDBURST Three Kentucky Counties Are Swept by Storm and Flood--Deaths May Reach Forty. Saylersville, Ky.--Fifteen people are known to be dead, fifteen addition­ al are reported as having died and fully forty are missing as the result of a cloudburst In Magoffin, Floyd and Knott counties, Ky., late Tuesday. Twelve bodies of the known dead have been secured by the workmen In Saylersville and the towns affected by the terrible cloudburst When late reports came in from sections lying near Saylersville, it was estimated by the people here that fully forty have been killed in the floods and that forty are missing from their homes. Saylersville Is the county seat of Magoffin county which is in eastern Kentucky. There are no railroads running to the town and little else than farming is done in this vicinity. Floyd and Knott counties lie adjacent to this county and have several small towns lying directly on the Licking river and large creeks which were af­ fected greatly by the downpour. It has been raining in this section for three days and the rivers and streams were all full of water when the down­ pour from the cloudburst broke over this section. Instantly many bouses in this section were carried from their foundations and were swept into the streams. Many of the people in these three counties are homeless. The property damage is estimated to be fully $100,- 000 and the losses in stocks and grains will go to even higher figures. RAILROADS GAIN A VICTORY Boy Killed at Charivari Party.

Commerce Commission Grant Permit sion to Advance Grain Rates East of Buffalo. Washington.--Announcement was made by the interstate commerce com­ mission Thursday that it will not sus­ pend official classification 36, Involving more than G.000 items, which was filed to, become effective July 1. This is rfgarded as a victory for the rail­ roads. I Permission was granted by the com­ mission to railroads operating out of Buffalo to advance rates on flour and other wheat products one cent a hun­ dred pounds to eastern destinations. For nearly a month the commission has been overwhelmed with protests against the proposed new classifica­ tion, many shippers seemed to believe that the rearrangement of freight claa- siflcaticatlon would result in largely Increased rates. The subject was con­ sidered carefully by the commission, a thorough and comprehensive check being prepared on the entire classifi­ cation. In the items and ratings in­ volved there are only fifty-eight changes, of which twenty-eight are re­ ductions and thirty advances, the lat­ ter including twelve increases in car­ load weights. FOREST FIRES PERIL TOWNS Terrible Havoc Is Wrought in Rainy River District, Manitoba--Loss Is Heavy.

DANIEL DEAD OLDEST DEMOCRAT IN 8ENATE DIES AT LYNCHBURG. Has Third Paralytic Stroke, but Cause of Death Was Cerebral Hemorrhage. Lynchburg, Va. -- John W. Dan­ iel, senior senator from Virginia, died at the Lynchburg sanitarium Wednes­ day night, his death being due to a recurrence of paralysis. The immedi­ ate cause of his death was cerebral hemorrhage. This was Senator Daniel's third paralytic stroke. He suffered the first last fall while In Philadelphia and the second in Daytona, Fla., during the winter, having gone to Florida to re­ cuperate. He had not been in Wash­ ington for several months. Senator Daniel was sixty-seven years old. With Senator Daniel were his wife and his son, Edward M. Daniel, and his daughter, Mrs. Fred Harper, whose husband, also here, is Senator Daniel's law partner. The death of Senator John Warwick Daniel removes the oldest of the Democratic senators In point of serv­ ice. Of the entire list he was the only one who could be said to belong to the old regime. And, as he was the oldest in service, he was one of the most conspicuous in popular favor. New Orleans.--Samuel Douglas Mc- Enery, United States senator from Louisiana, suddenly expired at his home here Tuesday from an attack of acute indigestion. The senator arrived here Monday from Washington. He was seventy- three years old, and death was super­ induced by old age. The senator Is survived by his wife, who was before marriage Miss Eliza­ beth Phillips of Monroe, Pa.; his daughter, Mrs. Warren B. Parker, and his two sons, Charles P. McEnery and Dr. Douglas W. McEnery of Wash­ ington. In all probability Gov. Jved T. Sanders will be chosen by the Louis­ iana legislature, now in session, as Senator McEnery's successor. It is thought that the leading figures in state politics have figured upon the aged senator's passing for some time, but it was not anticipated exactly at this Juncture. RAIL RATES ARE LOWERED Interstate Commerce Commission Takes Action In Cases Affect­ ing the Entire Country. Washington.--Reductions in class and commodities on all shipments west from Chicago to the Pacific coast were ordered Wednesday by the interstate commerce commission. The commission decided that the cap­ ital invested in railroad property and betterments did not justify the ad­ vance In rates to the point marked in the new schedules filed by thp rail­ roads. The decisions ai^e in what are known popularly as the Pacific coast cases. These cases were heard last autumn by the commission on its six weeks' trip to the Pacific coast and intermountaln territory aQd bad been under consideration ever since then. In every instance reductions In the existing, rates were made. Loses Eye Making Fireworks. Bloomfield, N.

Crews Defeat Yale Boats In Three Shell Races on Thames River. New London.--Harvard's day of vic­ tory on the Thames Thursday culmi­ nated with success in the varsity eight. With her stroke oar all but col­ lapsed, Yale crossed the line at the New London bridge four lengths be­ hind the Cambridge crew. For three and a half miles the shells sped down the river almost abreast, first one and then another forging slightly ahead. Harvard was nearly a length ahead at the two-mile point and her bow showed in front for the greater part of the way, but time and again a gallant spurt brought the New Haven shell on even terms. Not until the boats entered the final quarter mile stretch did the Crimson look like a winner. Harvard's victories were the most decisive that ever marked the open­ ing of her annual rowing regatta with Yale. The Crimson freshman eight- oared crew beat the youngsters from New Haven by three lengths, and the Harvard 'varsity four bettered this performance a little later by rowing away from Yale in the last eighth mile of a surprising race and finish­ ing four lengths in the lead.

CLEAN SWEEP FOR HARVARD Mlddletown, O. -- Nineteen people are dead asd a score or more injured as the result of a wreck Monday on the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton tracks between the Big Four Twen­ tieth Century Limited and a Cincin­ nati, Hamilton & Dayton freight train a quarter of a mile west of Middle- town. The engines are a mass of ruins, the passenger coaches were telescoped, two partly telescoped, while the smo­ ker went over the baggage car and landed In a cornfield. Hardly a pas­ senger on the train escaped without some injury. The Big Four people had asked the right of way over tbe Cincinnati, Ham­ ilton & Dayton tracks because of a freight wreck at Sharon, O. .and the train was bowling along at appjoxi mately fifty miles an hour. It is said that the engineers of two trains did not see each other's engine until toe close for the accfdent. Orders had been given it was said for "clear track for the Big Four train," which left Dayton ten minutes behind time abotit one o'clock and which was trying tc make up the lost time. The two engines crashed with ter­ rific impact. The massive engines rearing up like living things then crashed Into and through the cars ol both trains. As soon as news of the collision was received In Cincinnati the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Daytor officials sent a train to the scene witt Cincinnati physicians and nurses. Railroad officials of both roads alsc went to the scene. At the same time Mlddleton and Dayton rushed as­ sistance and the people of Middletowc turned out almost en masse to ren­ der what assistance they could. When the engines crashed one oi the steel monsters crushed through the combination baggage and smoking car and day coach which was large­ ly filled with women and children. Ii was some minutes before a move at rescue work could be started, as the crews as well as passengers wert tossed about. When those too able reached the upturned cars they found dead and injured persons lying near or pinned under the heavy wreckage Within a few minutes 11 bodies bad been removed. Some of them werf females, for the coach was what ie known as the ladies' car reserved es­ pecially for the women and children. While the dead were being removed willing hands were working with might and under distressing circum­ stances. The shrieks of injured, some of whom were dying, the din and shouting, the noise of escaping steam as it hissed from battered engines, made the affair most distressing. The bodies of the dead were con­ veyed to the station at Hamilton and here the scenes were heartrending. Crowds of men and women thronged around the building, many in search of relatives or friends they knew were on the train. The Twentieth Century train was in charge of Conductor Weaver. The freight in charge of Pilot Wald, had orders to meet the flyer at 1:07 at Coast Town. In advance of the regular engine of the flyer was a Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton pilot engine in charge of engineer, fireman and Con­ ductor Lange. The Big Four train was in charge of Conductor Thomas Maloney. It is thought the fact that the Twentieth Century Limited was late was the main cause of the acci­ dent with having left Dayton ten min­ utes late the effort was being made tc regain that lost time. The freight was on the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton siding and it seems had orders for a clear track at 1:07 p. m. When that time arrived she pulled out on the main line but was scarcely under headway when the flyer flashed Into view and crashed into it. There wae practically no chance for either en­ gineer to reverse levers before the crash came. The dead: A. S. Garrigun, Colum­ bus; Thomas Dunlevy and Wildman Dunlevy, brothers, Dayton: Richard Van Horn, Dayton; Charles W. Molten, Dayton; J. -Smith Kirk, Dayton; H. A. Smith, Dapton; George Fohley, Dayton; H.
