SUEDFm/5.m
Widow of Employee Killed in
Wreck and Injured Man
Claim Damages.
Two damage suits aggregating $75,000
were filed in superior court today
against the Southern railroad as a re
sult of a recent accident in the Mc-
Daniel street shop yards, in which
Odus Palmer was killed and William
O. Shell was seriously injured.
Mrs. Edith Palmer, widow of the dead
man, asked the court for a judgment of
150,000 for the death of her husband
and Shell brought suit for $25,000 for
personal injuries, which, he asserted,
had maimed him for life.
Both men were car repairers and
were working on a coach when a freight
train jumped a switch and crashed into
the car. Palmer was caught under the
trucks and horribly mangled. Ho died
within an hour. Shell was on top of
the coach and was thrown to the ground
by the force of the collision. He sus
tained numerous injuries.

SCOOPS COIL ILL
NIGHT, AGED II
Man Wishes Only to Continue
in Job He Has Held Down
Thirty-three Years.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22. —Edward T.
Aitken, 74 years old, who for 33 years
has worked twelve hours nightly for the
Intorborough road and its predecessors,
continues to bank his fires with a 50-
pound iron and to shovel tons of coal
at the machine repair shops at Third
avenue and 133 d street. Aitken weighs
only 120 pounds, has never been ill and
credits the simple life for his health.
Standing in the kitchen of his apart
ment. 2094 Valentine avenue, the Bronx,
Aitken told why he was able to stand
erect, do a strong man’s work and
laugh at the diseases which troubled
others.
' There is nothing unusual about me,”
he said, Sinless temperance and quiet
living are unusual. Here is my break
fast.”
It was a banana, a potato, roll and
coffee.
Two Meals Simple.
“And my second meal, which I eat at
midnight, will be equally simple. In
the morning, when I quit work, I will
have a hearty meal or meat, vegetables
and three cups of coffee. Bronx air,
Bronx water and the regular hours I
have always known in the Bronx from
the time this vicinity was a pasture,
have something to do with health, I
suppose, but hard work and never
touching alcoholic liquor seem more
important.
”1 use no drugs or medicines of any
kind. I wear the same weight of cloth
ing the year around and I retire and
arise at precisely the same hours every
day. In my 33 years with the eltrvated
railroad I have worked from 6 each
evening until 6 each morning, and it
has never occurred to me that I needed
a vacation.
Six Hours Rest Enough.
“For a funeral I once took seven
days, and as many more for two wed
dings, which came at different times.
With six hours of real sleep, from
which no ordinary noise can awaken
me, I never need a longer period of
rest. Besides, I would be lost with
out my work, and even miserable if I
were to change to a day job."
Aitken spoke of his children, who are
also perfectly well.
“My wife is dead,” he said, “but I
have four little ones. The eldest boy is
only 41 years old now. and Edward,
Jr., is 34. They both are stationary en
gine tenders. My youngest is a girl
1 baby, just 27 years old. It surprises
me sometimes to know I am five times
a grandfather."
STRIKE COMPLETELY
TIES UP STREET CAR
SERVICE IN COLUMBIA
COLUMBIA, S. C., Oct. 22.—The
street car strike in Columbia is at a
standstill, both the car company and
the striking carmen marking time.
No disorder has yet been reported
and no end of the situation is in view.
It is stated by the carmen that they will
hold a meeting late today, at which
time they will consider what they are
to do. Until the carmen do make a
move the strike will continue. The
railroad company is determined not to
move a wheel until the strikers cojne to
an agreement.
Not a car has moved since Saturday,
though yesterday saw the biggest crowd
of the year in the city for Ringling's
circus. The circus was on the edge of
the city, but the lack of street ca r s did
not seem to diminish the crowds in the
tents.
COLLEGE STUDENTS
USE REAL CRIMSON
TO PAINT TOWN RED
ADA, OHIO, Oct. 22.—Students at
Ohio Northern university have begun
to paint the town red —literally. They
began on the office of Mayor Campbell.
After smashing the Windows they
slathered the entire office with crim
son paint, and byway of decoration
added a few inscriptions indicating that
his legal lore and judicial proclivities
were not held in high esteem by the
students. To emphasize the fa; t that
their work was intended to attract at
tention they rang the bell in the chapel
all night.
Today the mayor is searching for le
gal precedents for action against the
students. The trouble originally start
ed when he refused to punish a city
fireman who struck a student.
DESERTER, WHO BEAT
POST GUARD, IS TAKEN
BY CIVIL OFFICERS
Frank Jones, private in the coast ar
tillery and military prisoner, who. with
Private Crady, of the Twenty-second in
fantry. escaped from the reservation at
Fort McPherson Jast May, has been cap
tured by civil authorities in Columbus,
Ga. Crady was killed by a guard.
Jones was held at Fort McPherson,
awaiting trial for desertion. In charge
of the guard, the pair were working on
a roadway near the fort, when Jones

WOMEN TO WIN IN FIVE
STATES, LEADER WRITES
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—Dr. Anna How
ard Shaw, in a letter to New York suf
fragists. declares Oregon will go for wom
an’s rights in November. Word from
Michigan, Kansas, Arizona and Wisconsin
says those states will do the same.
Such a phrase may not always describe the rela
tion between buyer and seller, but if the goods are
right and the prices right, and the seller shows a prop
er regard for his customers’ interest, the business rela
tions, at least, between them ought to be cordial and
welcome.
It is such relations that we aim to cultivate and
maintain. We know we cannot retain the favor and
friendship of those to whom we sell goods, if the goods
are not found, after they are put into use, to equal the
representations made when they are purchased.
This is particularly true of cooking and heating
apparatus. These goods are not bought for the use of
a week, or a month, or even a year; but they are going
to either please or to annoy the user for years to come
In this view of the case, it always pays to buy goods
that have real merit. These will last longer and give
satisfaction all the time they last. The difference in
price between meritorious goods and so-called “cheap”
goods is not as great as you may think.
