Mr. Roosevelt sajs:

Although many men must shine with

ourselves and the nation if wo fail to

In the highest ofilco In our land, is stiiv

in paiticular ciises, but we havo never
had one concerning whoso personal In
tegritv tlioio was as murh as a shadow ot
BUBpleion. Appointments and policies
Tihleh aie nominally routine anil unim

REAR END COLLISION
NEAR LANCASTER
Passengeis on the Harrisburg Ex

an Awful Catastrophe.
0ivhi3n Wire from The Associated Pi HI.
Uincasttr, Pa., Oct. 29. Passengeis
on tho Ilairisbuig expicss, lcaing this
city .it 7.1" o'clock this evening, fned
a catastrophe of appalling possibilities,
and miraculously escaped with .1 vio
lent shaking up. The express was run
ning at the rate of loitv miles an hour,
when it suddenly crashed into the ic.ir
of a freight train which was standing
on the tiack at Dillcrvttlc. one mile
noithwesL of this city. The engine of
the cxpicss ploughed f.ii-t'i t!y lyt
car of the freight trainvliii li wis an
empty box: car, and there it .stuck.
I'rom some inexplicable cause, none of
the cats wero derailed.
Tho violence of the compact shat
tered the windows, of the passenger
coaches and hurled the passengeis from
their seats, but aside from the Jar, no
one was hurt. The escape of the en
gineer, Harry K. Thomas, and bis fire
man, C. 11. Downes, of llatilsburg, was
even moie lem.nkable. By the" roof of
the fi eight car they weie knocked down
against their fire-box, but managed lo
crawl out of the, wreck, slightly scalded
and bruised. The express engine and
three freight cats at once caught flic
and weie consumed. The passengei
cais weie uncoupled and pulled back
from the conflagration. Engineer Thom
as had the usual 01 dots of .1 clear ttack
through to HatrlsbuiR. The freight
ttain was waiting lor outers tc go onto
a siding at Dillersville. The flagman
of the latter waved a danger signal
when he saw tho expiess coming, but
did not attract Engineer Thomas' at
tention until It was too late to avert a
collision.

Over 11 centuiy and n a.iui ter has passed

malice, domestic or foreign levy; when
tho hand of the Txird was heavy upon It
In drought or flood or pestilence; when
In bodily distress nnd anguish of soul It

Tho year that has just closed has-been

prosperity than we are now cnjovlng.
For this wo render heartfelt and solemn
thanks to tho Giver ot Good, and wc seek
