They once were the property of Mrs. Catherine Maria Ellis, whose picture appears in the oil painting of "The Prince of Wales at the Tomb of Washington," in the Harriett Lane Johnston Collection. One of the fans was presented to Mrs. Ellis by William R. King, who, for 25 years, was Senator from Alabama, and then Vice-President of the United States. It is inlaid with mother-of-pearl and has a hand-painted border. TWO OF THE MOST FAMOUS FANS IN THE COUNTRY. The other fan was presented to Mrs. Ellis by Washington Irving, who purchased it when he was United States minister to France. This fan is of the most exquisite design. The sticks are of mother-of-pearl in which is carved at group of figures of women clothed in the fashion of the Empire. The rosy tints of the pearl blend beautifully into the carved fabric of the figures, making them appear to be delicately painted. On one side of the border is painteda scene which might be Versaillesand on the other is a picture of a battle between two frigates. Other rare fans are on exhibition in the National Museum at Washington but none receives more attention than Saving the life of one trainman out of every two who under former conditions would have been killed under the cars; saving similarly one out of every three of the trackmen formerly doomed to death in the performance of duty; reducing the accident toll among passengers (upon one railroad line only and within the space of one year) by 152 more passengers saved from death and almost 5000 more spared from injury than the year before this is a remarkable record for any man and any organization. This has resulted chiefly from the initiative of one railroad claim agent and the groups of railroad employes organized by him into "Safety First'' committees. Forty-six of the greatest American railroads, operating more than sixty per cent of the mileage in the United States, have already sanctioned the work of the Employes' "Safety First" committees. John Anson Ford tells here of the work of these committees in an article which is of the greatest direct importance to every one who rides on a train, which, of course, means everybody.-Editor's Note. O an outsider this incident may seem trifling, but for railroad men it is deeply significant: One day last November while freight No. 563, of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, was pulling out of Baraboo, Wisconsin, a switchman noticed that a door on a passing refrigerator car had swung open. He immediately notified the despatcher, who, in turn, telegraphed an order to North Freedom, the next stopping point of the freight, to this effect: "Hold passenger 518which was soon to pass the freight until arrival of 563. Notify latter's conductor to fasten swinging refrigerator door before proceeding farther." Just what damage and personal injury were averted by the thoughtful switchman's act, no one will ever know; suffice it to say that swinging doors on freight cars have many times wrought untold havoc to to passing trains. There was a time when switchmen would have said the fixing of a freight car door was "somebody's else business". But the day when a railroad employe fails to realize that his thoughtlessness endangers not his safety alone but also the lives of others, is rapidly passing. The creation in railroad men of per sonal interest in the accident problem and of To one man particularly is due So remarkable has been the showing on this line that within the last few months no less than forty-six other roads have joined in what is called the "Safety First" Movement, of which Richards was the organizer, and many of these have sent committees directly to him to make a first-hand study of his plan. Richards is one of those muchmaligned railroad men called "claim agents". But he is a claim agent with a great sympathetic heart and with the faculty of getting men to co-operate with him in good causes. Some five or six years ago he began working out a plan for enlisting the ployes of his road in a great crusade against railway accidents. The average man reads the details of the latest collision, shudders, mutters something about "the insane mania for speed", and turns to the next page of his morning paper. With Richards it has been dif R. C. RICHARDS He put into systematic shape the initial ideas of the "Safety First" Movement on railroads, with tremendous success, em |
