GAVE UP HIS LIFE
Ontario Man Killed at getroit Trying
To Save Children.
Dashed Forward to Pop Runaway
Team in Detroit Circus Parade.
,•••••••••••11,1,1•••
Windsor despatch: William Persons,
aged thirty-nine, a maceinist employed,
in Detroit, and whose home la at
Fletcher, Ont., was carried into St.
Mary's Hospital yesterday, les spine
fractured, both legs broken and his
body a mass of bruises, as a result of
his heroics attempt to prevent a team
of frightened horses from dashing into
a crowd of children who were watching
a circus procession. Parsons died short.
ly after be was placed on the operating
table, having literally given up his life
to save the childreh, among the group
being two of his own.
The accident occurred at Detroit,
on Jefferson avenue, near Beanfait,
while both sides of the street were
lined with children. The whistle of
the steam calliope caused a team of
horses, attached to a heavy truck, to
take fright, and the driver was un-
able to control them. The animals
made a wild dash straight for the
group of little ones. Parsons ' hap-
pened to be standing near by, and
without hesitation he ran into the
street, caught the bridle of one of
the maddened horses, but was forced
to loosen his hald and fell to the
pavement. The forward wheel of the
truck passed over his legs and the rear
one across his back, breaking his spine.
The runaway team was caught before
doing any damage.
Parsons had resided in Detroit for
some time. • He leaves a widow and two
children. The valuate were taken to
Fletcher last night for interment.

Washington, june 3.—Fabert, IL
Gary, chairman of the directors of

took the witness etand before the
Stanley steel truse in,vestigation com-
mittee of the houee of representatives.
Soon after the committee met Mr.
Gary deelared that enforced publicity
and governmental control of eorpora-
tions must come, even as to prices.
He believed the Sherman antietruet
law was too exclude to deal with mod-
ern situatione and never could fully
prevent great conbinations of capital.
What the United States Steel Cor-
poration wanted, ha said, was some
responsible ahd official department
of government to which it could go
and :say:
The following is the subsiariee of
the testimony:
United States tel eorporation
wants a. government department that
shall fix prices.
Government has the right to fix
prices on all commodities in inter-
state commerce.
Government control and enforced
publicity is the only solution of the
trust problem.
Sherman law is arelmic and never
can prevent formation of great com-
bines.

London, aline 0.—That five small
South London children, who emusee
themselvea Friday efternon by play-
ing hospital witha. bottle of pills that
they foetid in a rubbish heap are not
dead. to -day Is purely and simply a mat.
ter of the greatest good luck,
The children, George Utindertmark,
aged 13, Isabel, his sister, aged la
amtit, 0. baby of 14 mouths, all of 150
fsangarth street; Horatio Dunn, eked
7, a. neighbor's child, and his little sis-
ter Ada, aged 8 menthes were all very
aiek for some hours Friday night.
The Hundertmark family are pre-
paring to move, ana in clearing out
steno article Friday afternoon, Mrs.
Hundertmark COMO across a bottle of
pills contaleing considerable opium.
Having no use for the medicine elle
took it to 0. rubbish heap at the far
end of the yaed, and threw it there with
some other useless things, never dream-
ing that the children would get it.
About 6 °clock, Fred Hundertinark,
rambling around in search of adven-
tures, spied the bottle, and fishing it
out took it to the verandeti of Mrs.
Donn's house, where the girls were
playing and alluding the babies. It
was instantly decided to play hospital.
This decision was encouraged by the
fact that the pills in the bottle were
of a sweetieh taste.
George Handertnierk, as the oldest
of the quintette, was selected to be the
doctor, and his 'sister Isabel was nurse.
, The Dunn boy and the two bithies
in their little goaarts, were the pa-
tients.
The little ones shouted with glee at
the sweet licorice -like pills dissolved
in their maths, andwere so delighted
that the nurse and, the "doctor" de-
cided to taste the medicine also, They
also were pleased ,and as fast as they
could be eaten the pine were distri-
buted until the whole bottle containing
more than 100 pellets was emptied.
Then the childrenlonged for more,
but couldn't gel; them. A little later
they were all celled in to supper, and
efreellundertinark was greatly surpria
ed -when the baby commenced to vomit.
ft 'became very violently sidle and mid-
denly as Mrs. Hundertmark was won-
dering what to do, Mrs. Dunn rushed
wildly in and said her litibh was sick,
toe, and that her boy said the children
had been feeding each other pills they
had found.
The other children at once owned up.
Dr, E. G. Daalawas sent for in a hurry,
end .when he arrived he found five aw-
fully sick children. Having discovered
what they had taken he gave thein an
antidote for the opium and other drugs
to make them vomit, and tater had
them all put to bed as soon as he was
sure that there was no more danger.
"They are practically all right to -
clay," said, Mrs. Hundertmark, "but it
certainly wee a close call. I never
thought of the -cuildren getting the bot-
tle out of the rubbish where 1 Intl
thrown it. If that bottle bad contained
anything very poisonous, I guess there
would be five dead children around an
right. It is dreadful to think of, and it
was all so simple, too. The pills were
very sweet from the qoantity of opiuna
lai them and the children liked them.
The baby wasn't out of my sight for
ten minutes, but the other youngsters
never said anything about what they
had been doing, and I didn't know what
to make of it when Pieta commenced to
votnit after they brought her in. I guess
we were pretty lucky."

Ottawa, lune 5.— With the bbjea of
preserving to Canada the last herd of
wood bison in the world, two employees
of the forestry bran& of the Depart-
ment of the Interior are being sent on
a mission to the banks of the Great
Slave River, over 600 miles north of Ed-
monton. They will remain there for
some years and their sole duty will be
to see that the herd multiplies without
outside disturbance. The herd of wood
bison numbers from 160 to 300, an ex-
act count being impossible on account
of the wooded country, in which they
live. They are heavier and darker than
the plain bison, and as stated are the
last of their species. Their elief enene
ies are the wolves and at times the In-

is maintaing absolute secrecy, hinting,
however, that "something is to. drop" in

"It was not the work of it lunatic,"

thomeands from the provinces joined in
making the event one of national lin-
portanee, The Mayors of various town
and cities througbout the kingdom, who
were in attendance, timbered eight
thouland.
The nionument is the most eolossal
structure of the kind in the world. It
pccupies the nett section of the Cape
toline Hill and opens into:the very heart
of Rome on the Itiazzo where stands the
Palace of Pentee, which Paul III. erect-
ed. In front is the Corso, the leading
thoroughfare of the eity, so that the
equestrian .statue of the King Liberator
in gilded bronze can be seen from A
great .distance shining against the white
ma.rble lackground of the colonade. The
statue le forty feet high and weighs fifty
taus, It was east in eighteen pieces,
the -work oecupying two and a half years.
The monument is composedof a greet
portico in white marble with sixteen
immense eelunnh3, surmounted by a freize,
ana at the ends quadrigae in brenze. In
front of the oolonade stands the gigan-
tic equestrian statue of the father of

cases decorated. with fountains, statues,
groups and antennae with gilded fig-
ures. The entire length of the monu-
ment is 500 feet, its depth e50 feet and
its height 250 feet.
Notwithstanding the relative cheap-
ness of marble and labor in Italy, the
monument when 'completed will have
cost $20,000,000, and will represent thir-
teen years'work. King Humbert laid
the earner itone of the great structure
on Mara. ea 1885,
One of the incidents of the dedica-

as mutt enthusiasm as the populeee.
teeming his gown the priest showed the
tri -color sash, the emblem of the mayor-

of the miserable recompense accorded
miesionaries in the Canadian home
field was given at the Methodist Oen

Ifiesionary Society had last year an
income of $600,000, the greatest it
had ever had, but the needs, owing to
the immense immigration, bad ex-

of the home mission worker it lad been
decided to try and raise a fund of 51,-
500,000, the income from which would
be devoted to city missions and in-
creasing the salary of workers. Under
present eonditions many workers were
forced to go into debt, a audition which
utterly nuned their influence, and he
argued that missionaries should be paid
at least sufficient -to provide the Scrip.

found necessary to curtail the work,
with lees territory and fewer workers,
in order to pay a decent, hiving rate.
