Philadelphia, April 30. Crashing into an automobile at Ninth street and Girard avenue early this morning, the Bethlehem Express, going out from the Reading terminal at 2.15 a. brought death to one person and injury to two others. The automobile, speeding out Girard avenue, reached the track just as the train came to the southern side of the street. Whether the chauffeur, seeing the ap proaching train, intended to speed across the tracks in front of the train, real iring that to attempt to stop the machine would prove fatal or wcether -he did not see or hear the express, is not known.

The engine struck the automobile full, hurling it to one side of the street and throwing the occupants to the sidewalk. William Adams, 27 years, the chauffeur, was instantly killed. Andrew Donnelly, 26 years old, and William Kerr, 30 years, were the other occupants of the car. Kerr was badiv bruised and sustained internal injuries while Don- nellv was cut ahnnt th. an w.

CLOSELY QUESTION CAPT. IIAINS' FATHER Aired General Is Cross-. By District Attorney Flushing, X. April 30. Cross-examination of General Peter C.

Hains. father of Captain Peter C. Hams, on trial here for the killing of William E. Annis. was resumed bv District Attorney DeWitt to-day.

The District Attorney asked him about the alleged eent'e'ssion of the captain's wife to her tmsband. At that time, the witness aid. the captain appeared irrational. General Hains stated that his son had talked rationally about the children and about some things which he had brought from the Philippines and intended giving to his wife. "When you went back to Washington did you consider the captain rational or' irrational? asked the District Attorney.

"It-rational." replied the witness. Gef.eral Hains was closely qaestion-ed bf the prosecutor regarding various achats of his son after the captain's from the Philippines and prior to the shooting. Some had impressed the parent as irrational, while others appeared rational enough. On a few points General Hains pleaded lack of memory, and the District Attorney accused "the witness of shielding himself behind the expression, "I don't remember." Judge Garret son remarked that it seemed natural enough for a man to forget now and then. DEATHS AXD FUNERALS.

(Th tickets 'will be ready for distribution Saturday morn- ing, May 1. The subject of Mr. Carle-; ton's address will be "Helping the Fellow." HUBERT CARLETON. Mr. Carleton is a Canadian bv birth, educated at Trinity University and Brasenose College, Oxford.

He has always been engaged in boys' work, first in- Toronto, where he, with some other young men, had a society of boys num bering several thousand. After he graduated from Oxford he was engaged in boys' work in the slums of London for two years. Since then he has been general secretary of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew and taken a very special pari in developing its junior department. Both at Trinity and Oxford he did good deal in athletics, especially in long-distance running, being what is known, in England as an "Oxford Blue 'for both mile and three miles, perhaps the biggest athletic distinction in England.

He is now connected with a good many boy movements. Mr. Carleton is regarded by those who know him best, both in this country and in England, as being an authority on boys' work. He is both spiritual and practical, and one of the strongest aud most eloquent speakers ever heard on any platform. The ob ing Mr.

Carleton to this city at this time is to try ana do something definite for the boyhood of the community in addition to what is already being done by churches, Sunday schools, associations, along religious, moral, educational and physical lines, and the first attempt will be made by holding this meeting with the hope that hundreds of boys from all classes in life may take advantage of this opportunity hy being present at this service to hear theme that should appeal to every boy, that of "Helping the Other Fellow." The association -will put forth every effort to make this not only one of the greatest meetings for boys ever held in" this city, but one of the most helpful as well, and te this end it invites the hearty co-operation, of the boys of HarrisTiurg, both Christian and They can begin to help right now by talking about the meeting, Inviting others to come, distributing tbe tickets for admission in the homes, schools, plavgrounds and wher ever is a gathering of by-i Pas- tora bundar school superintendents. public school teachers and all who are tk. waIIopa Vtn. will interested in the welfare of boya will be supplied with as tickets as they can use, i CELEBRATION ENDS.

"In 1S64," says the well-known artist Alnia-Tadouia, in the May "Strand Magazine, "I received a visit from the English picture dealer, Qam-bart il priiicipe Gambarti, as they used to call him in Italy. He was the picture dealer par excellence of his day, and was naturally held gTeat respect by artists. I him on that first visit to me, standing before, my easel, on which I had posed my 'Coming Out of and instantly exclaiming 'Did you paint that picture for the Vanderdonktsf' assured him of the fact. He asked me if they had seen it, and what was the price. I told him that they had not seen it as yet.

'Well, said Gam-bart, 'I'll take it; and let me have a couple dozen of that kind at progressive prices each half It was really as if he bad beeh'buying bales of cotton. Of course, I thought, and not without reason, that my fortune was as good as made. Moreover, il principe Gambnrtt agreed that I might deal with the antique period I loved instead of the Middle Ages, where I had latterly been 'seeking my subjects. And so it came about that some of the pictures by which I am, perhaps, best known as a painter were included in this first singular bargain. "Four years did it take me to carry out Gambart's first commission, and the day arrived when Gauibart again paid me a visit.

'I- want he said, 'to paint me another four dozen pictures on the same condition of rising I consented, and I did my best not to disappoint him. 'The Vintage' was painted as one of tliem, and when the dealer saw it, perceiving that it was a far more important canvas than any of its predecessors a work, too, that had cost me far more time and labor he at once insisted upon paying for it the figure which was to have been given for the -last half-dozen." Their Bite Is Fatal. Mrs. Clemen tins Deslion and Mrs. Clara Clark are sisters, who inherited a farm house near Louisville from their father, and divided it into two parts.

They do not visit each other; in fact, they do not like each other. Mrs. Deshon raises chickens. Her sister raises sheep. It would seem that this arrangement would prevent embarrassment, for though hens have a penchant for laying eggs outside the family circles, sheep never do so.

Not long 'ago, however, Mrs. Clark applied to the Circuit Court for an injunction to restrain Mrs. Deshon's Chickens from trespass on the Clark side of the farm. She set forth that the chickens frightened the sheep and kept them from eating. The court, reasonably enough, granted the injunction.

Now this recalls two important points. First, that your chicken, which has a reputation tor good nature and peaceful habits, is really an overbearing, rowdyish and often ferocious biped. Any fowl which will refrain from laying eggs when eggs are high-priced, and lays throe or four in a forenoon be counted on to commit acts of an of fensive nature toward sheep or other timid natures. This refers to the ordinary barnyard variety, and not to the well-known dog-killing breeds, which terrorize dog owners throughout the country. The other point is that litigation is great sport, and evidently is not discouraged by the Kentucky Circuit Courts.

Has Upton Sinclair's iconoclastic book, "The Jungle," succeeded in breaking down another idol The "hot dog" has been tabooed in his very stronghold. Coney Island, and is succeeded by the Hamburger steak and onion. Immediately after Mr.

Sinclair's book came out, frequenters of Coney Island became wary of the frankfurter and roll, and the consumption quickly fell off, until many small "hot dog" men were forced to retire from business. But Coney is essentially a place where expediency is the measure bv which success is gauged, and the Hamburger steak is consequently installed in the place of the frankfurters for the present.
