Who Became Confused and Wrote "Xo. 30" in Place of "No. 31," Blamed For the Disaster. White River Junction. Vt.?Plunging into cach other at forty miles an hour, the Boston and Maine Railroad's Quebec express and a freight train at daybreak met in a crash that killed twenty-five persons and injured more than thirty. Twenty-seven of the wounded were in such dangerous t condition that they were rushed to the hospital at Hanover after being brought to this town. Many of those killed were women and several were children. The express was running south with a full load of holiday makers returning from a fair in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Most of the victims were Americans, a few being Canadians on their way to points in this State and New Hampshire. None had a chance of escape. The headon collision drove the baggage car of the express back through a passenger coach carrying half a hundred persons.

He helped to take several bodies and half a dozen injured persons out of the wreck in the first two hours he was on the spot. Then he lifted from under a pile of timbers the body of a woman. As he turned the body to get a better hold he found himself looking into the dead face of his mother. Mrs. Briggs had been visiting friends north of this town and was going to Boston.

Blast Toole Place Inside Shield o Starboard 10-Inch Gun, Badly Damaging Ship. Tokio.?An explosion aboard th< Japanese warship Kashima killed fiv< officers and twenty-two men and six teen others are seriously wounded The catastrophe occurred after targe practice near Kure, at four o'cloci in the afternoon. The cause of the explosion is un der investigation. It occurred insid< | of the stileld or the starboard artei i ten-inch gun. It was not the shel I which exploded, but powder, whicl evidently caught fire from the gai emitted from the breech when openec for the purpose of reloading the gun The hull of the Kashima is no damaged. The Kashima, in command of Cap tain Koizumi, reached Kure- tw( hours later, where the wounded wer< placed in the hospital. The Kashima is a battle ship ol 16,400 tons, built in England anc completed in 1906. She is 425 fee' long, heavily armored, mounts foui twelve-inch guifs, four ten-inch anc twelve six-inch and a number o: smaller rapid-Sre guns, and carries ? crew of 980 officers .and men. Hei speed is estimated at more than nine teen knots. She is a sister ship ol the Gatori, also built in England. Outside of the disasters to Japan ese war vessels during the war witt Russia, the sinking of Admiral Togo's flagship, the Mikasa, this is the mosi serious disaster which has befallei the navy of Japan.

Two hundred and fifty-sij were killed or missing and 343 injured. Admiral Togo was not or board at the time. The explosion on board the Kashima recalls the disaster of July 15 last on board the United States battl? ship Georgia, ofT Provincetown, Mass. when nine men, including Lieutenanl i Caspar Goodrich and Midshipman i Faulkner Goldthwaite, were killed and thirteen were injured by an explosion in the after turret of thai vessel.

I UNCLE SAM L c I t r I t ?Carto ! FARMERS RELBLL A L Health Department Sa and Flank Must Be C v Troughs?Clean 5 Florida, N. Y.?Farmers in New York State are receiving from the New York Department of Health letters setting forth the requirements of i the department necessary to insure a pure milk supply for the New York City market. The requirements run ; ?ll * K ^ mav frr\m f>loO nine thp winHrtW ' an IUC n ckj iium vtvuu*uQ .. s panes of the cowpen to cutting the ? cow's hair. t t One farmer who had received a list i of the department's requirements de> clares that if some of the rules are carried out there will be a serious t shortage of milk in the market, as to obey orders would mean a great ex pense and require so much time at' tending to the animals that very little : profit would result to theowners. The farmer said: i "While the price of milk for the coming six months by one big controlling concern has been advanced sixteen per cent, over last year's price, it must he taken into consideration that the price of the principal feeds has gone up twenty-five per cent." , The same man pointed out that to meet the requirements more help ! would be required and that all this would eat up the little profit that the [ cow raiser now makes. In addition ) it is hard to get competent halp. Too Early For Cleaning, i One requirement to which local i farmers make strenuous objection is that requiring that the cowshed be ! thoroughly cleaned before the cows are milked. As the milking is done t very early each morning, perhaps long before daylight, it can be seen I that the cleaning process will be alt most an impossibility. The farmer ? is not wealthy, and many of them have not the cash to make the re quired improvements about their premises. c "Where are our very small present profits to come in?" said an owner of several head after reading the de partment circular. "Where is the money to come from to put in a 'non absorbent' floor and six-inch gutters with rounded corners of the non-absorbent material? Are we required to put in lights, so that the feeding troughs be lighted? I am unable to see \ where it insures pure milk to have the cow see what she is eating, > or perhaps have the window clean so that she may gaze pensively over the barnyard while she chews her cud. "Another requirement is that all the help be provided with clean suits when they go in to make the cows comfortable or relieve them of their milk. My wife would object to that, and farmers' wives never have much fn Ho " f j A NICE YO r f Oklahoma's Constitntion is strictl; . ? z JEKYLL-HYDE IN HEAL LIFE.

I * As a general thing the farmers dc ? not believe that epidemic of disease has been caused by the condition o! the milk they have sent to the market, and they consider that the Health c Department's demands are beyond ? reason. Already some are deter" ? mined not to send their milk to New J York City, and are arranging to send , it elsewhere or dispose of it locally. Health Department's Requirements Some of the requirements of the New York Department of Health fol- v low: That the floors be constructed oi concrete or some non-absorbent material. e That the floors be made water tight ? and properly graded. , r That the drops or gutters be con- v structed of concrete, stone, or some E non-absorbent material. That they ' be at least six inches in depth, with c all corners founded. ? That the" feeding troughs, plat- v forms and cribs he well lighted and s kept clean at all times. That additional windows be in- s stalled in the cow barn to provide J sufficient light. (Two square feet ol * window space for each cow to be the J minimum). c That the window panes be washed 2 and kept clean at all times. " That the walls and ledges be thoroughly swept down and kept free P from dust, dirt or cobwebs at al) c times. t' That an inspection of the herd by a veterinarian be made and a copy oi c his report forwarded to this depart- * ment. ^ That the long hairs on the flanka 0 and tail be clipped and kept short at ? all times. ' S That clean, special suits be pro- ^ vided l!or all the attendants engaged c in the production and handling of ? milk. P That the milk at all times be C strained at the milk house, and In an J atmosphere free from dust or odors. ? That the milk pails used be of the h small-mouthed design, so constructed C that they can be readily and thor- t oughly cleaned, and top opening not li to exceed eight inches in diameter. t That racks be provided in some v suitable place so as to expose the milk t pails to the sun or to live steam. That a milk house be built and lo- 1 cated on elevated ground, with no i hog pen within 100 feet. F The New York Health' Department's instructions tell the farmer in J conclusion that n? milk on his premises will be permitted to be brought j into the city of New York unless conditions are remedied within a certain time.

The encyclical makes the. following - , provisions: First?The teaching of philosophy, positive theology, etc., is to be car-, , ried on In the Church schools and universities, but in a Catholic spirit^ Second?Modernists are to be re-, ' moved from professorships and the Vdirection of educational institutions. !
