W. Poole, one of the oldest engineers on the Nickel Plate, who was running the fiver, stopped to reverse his lever and put on the air. This cost him his life. He was pinned between the engine and tender of his a i and terribly mangled. T.

The freight crew jumped and escaped i The loss of life was confined almost enHrely a flrst wwflh a a these cars might as well been made of paper. One of the strange features of the wreck and the thing that probably prevented a fire and a much greater and more terrlblo loss of life, was that the baggago car, immediately behind the engine, ithstood tho shock of tho collis- lid not telescope and remained on the track.

STORES ELYRIA, OHIO Country In Which the Per Cent, of Illiterate People la Very Large. In the kingdom of Poland, with its 127,000 square kilometers, somewhat less thickly settled than Galicia, it is true, having only 73 inhabitants per square kilometer, there are less than 2,200 common schopls, writes David Bell Macgowan, in "The Future of Poland." Fifty per cent, of the adult population of Warsaw is illiterate. With a school population of 110,000 between 7 and 14, this city has a total primary school accommodation for not more than 40,000. The public schools, conducted in an alien language (Russian), have a capacity for only an equal number are accommodated in the Jewish schools, which teach Yiddish and Hebrew, while private enterprise gives facilities for 10,000 or 12,000. The flrst common school building ever erected in Warsaw was opened in 1903.

All the others are housed in second-class private lodgings. Lemberg, Galicia, with only 130,000 inhabitants, has 30 handsome schoolhouses.
