Aterrible railway collision occu at Battle Creek, Mich., last Fr night by which 28 people lost their ives in a horrible manner and as many more were seriously wounded. The two rains were ordered to cross at a long switch and the west -bound train dis- beyed the order. The jar of the col- ision caused one of the lighter coaches o "telescepe" the one adjoining, crush - ng its way through the other care and ipping up the floor and seats as it went long, thus carrying the passengers with in a fearfully maimed and bruised ondition, to the far end. The cars ught fire from the overturned stove d in a moment were a mass of flames, their helpless, penned -up condition the unfortunate passengers were enable to extricate themselves so that only a few- minutes were required to reduce their bodies to cinders. One poor woman managed to get her body out of a window but her limbs were held fast in the debris and she had finally to be left to burn to death before the eyes of the horrified spectators. The fault of the accident appears to lie between the conductor and engineer of the ill-fated train; As they disobeyed positive orders to go onto the siding at this point, and the collision occurred immediately on their having passed the switch., T, Dewitt ` Talmage, the great preacher,' is moving in. the matter having "aa world's celebration of th 1900th anniversary of the birth of Chris He chooses New York as the'spot an in an axle sermon gives reasons wh the celebration should be held. craft 38ft:- nd had 'The Christian Inquirer, of New York city, a conservative Baptist paper, has come strongly against high license. A ecent editorial contained these words : "Well, gentleman of the high license Utopia, what next ? You have asked u4' to wait until high license could be fairly tried, and come back to us with the broken fragments of your beautiful sys- ntem in your hands, and with sad and rueful countenance say to us, 'It don't -work." Of course it don't. Nothing will work that leaves the liquor traffic to manipulate our courts,_frame our legislation, defy our laws nd defeat :..the ends of justice. What next gentle- men ? What else shall we try before we kill the liquor traffic ; What new ex- periments. A saloon keeper in Yuba city, Sutter "county, Cal., ran his saloon without a license. He was arrested, found guilty =acid fined, and sent to prison until the tine was paid. The county court . sus- tained the justice of the peace, and the saloon man got out a writ of habeas cor- pus from the supreme court. The court decided that "the judgment of the lower court was in proper form and >valid," and the saloonkeeper was re reeled to the custody of the sheriff of Sutter county. The Sutter County Farmer reports the case. Saloon men, ._after all. do not own all the earth and `the sky. The Metropolitian police commission £ers of Leavenworeh, Kansas, and the ,assistant attorney general having about closed or run out of the city all jointists, rave turned their attention to the druggists, and as a result suit has been begun in the district court against fifteen -druggists for violating the state prohib- :itory law, and selling intoxicating liquor 'contrary to a druggists permit. A suggestion comes from a writer in the St James Gazette far making methy- :,;pirits undrinkable. He says: Why mot add an emetic ? Then, if the palate huts up with such objectionable liquors the stomach will have something to say npan the question." He wants the echemists to devise "an irresistible and :instantaneous emetic." This is a pro - 'position for the misguided drinkers `which should inspire them with terror ; 'but it certainly would put a stop to the 'consumption of the maladorous stuff, 'possibly by doing away with some of the patrons ; eit least, it would create a feel- ,ing of profound distrust for a beverage 'which was so unreliable in its staying ;power; few people would waste their 'tittle on an unfriendly spirit which re- .mained within them for a brief space "only, and the vendors also might have :something to say if the emetic was irre- • sistible and, above all, instantaneous.

Oh, woman, if you will have carpets somebody must propel the sweeper; if you must have stuffy curtains and hang- ings some one must fight the invading moth ; if you will make your house an art gallery, a museum of modern curios, a furniture warehouse, a china empor- ium, a toy shop and a World's Fair in miniature—why, you do make it a dim_ ple of loveliness, but know this, my daughter, and hear it for thy good, she that increaseth bric-a-brac increaseth care, and much bijouterie is a weariness to the flesh, writes Robert J. Burdette in his own inimitable way on "The Taskmistress of Wom n ' in the Novem- ber Ladies Home Journal. But all this is your own doing. Wherefore, do not come around the den of the man, wail- ing that woman's work is never done that you are tired to death, and that you have no time to read or improve yourself. Go to your mirror and make faces at the responsible party. Of course, the monster enjoys all these things—the exquisite taste and the art and the loveliness in his house. He en- joys the toothsome breakfast and the dainty china. the elaborate luncheon and the great dinner. But he doesn't really need so much, and I doubt very much if it is good for him ; he is alway apt to get more than is good for him. `e As we intimated in the GAZETTE last week the preliminary trial of Hooper on a charge of murdering his wife re- sulted in his acquittal,although the ver- dict "that the said Georgina Hooper came to her death on Sept 18th, at Terreboune station; P, Q., under suspicous circumstances and from caus- es unknown to this jury," was not as satisfactory to the prisoners friends as they could have wished.
