The Presbyterian Ladies’ Aid will | The Vacant Literary Throne. ' There 1s, we must admit, ‘today no monarch in any tongue upon ithe liter- ary throne, no sovereign, wotld name in poetry or prose, in whom, as has bappened before mnow, not 80 many Zenerations ago, in royal shceession to | Scott, Byron, Goethe, Hugo, Tolstoy, all the civilized weorld—Teuton, Latin, Celt, Slav, oriental—is interested, for whose new works it looks or where it seeks the gospel of the day. Naboch- lish, to use an Irish word that became | a favorite with Sir Walter Scott, it | does not matter. Do not let us nurse | the humor of the despondent editor who mournfully told his readers, “No new epic this month.” Nobody can tell how the wonders of language are performed nor how a book comes into the world. Genius is genius. The lamp that today some may think burns low will be replenish- ed. New orbs will bring light. Litera- ture may be trusted to take care of itself, for it is the transcript of the| drama of life, with all its actors, moods and strange flashing fortunes. | The curiosity that it meets is per- { petual and insatiable, and the impulses that inspire it can never be extinguish- ed.—John Morley. Thrifty Harry Lauder. i There are many stories told of the | wonderful thrift of Harry Lauder, the Scotch comedian. Once when Lauder was in New York he was in a wine buying party at the Astor. Everybody but the Scot bought wine. When it came his turn to buy he sighed. ! “Well, boys,” he said, “it's my turn to treat. Come along with me. I've got a fine bottle of old Scotch up in my room. I brought it over with me.” On another occasion he was with 2 drinking party and instead of liquor he took cigars, for which those who treat- ed him paid 50 cents apiece. Harry put all but one in his pocket. He spent two hours smoking that one. After the drinking was over the little comedian went to the cigar counter and said to the man in charge, *“I say, man, wud ye mind givin’ me ten cent cigars for these fafty cent ones?” The exchange was made, and Harry went to his room with five times as many cigars as he had at the start. Thought It Was Serious. The burning of the famous Grey- friars church in Edinburgh occurred one Sunday morning, and the young people of a house which backed upon the churchyard were among the first, as they were preparing to start for church, to observe the flames. It was the housemaid's Sunday out, and oid Kitty, the cook, was that day respon- sible for her dutiecs. Hearing unwonted commotion and excited outcries up- stairs, she came panting and hobhling up from her basement kitchen, erying anxiously at each stair: “Oh, what 1s't? What §s't?" “Oh, Kitty, look here!" cried one of the girls from a window. “Greyfriars church is burning up.” Kitty dropped limply on a settee. - “Is that a’, miss?” she grnmbled be- i lowest working in the mine, did not do MORE THAN FOUR SCORE ARE DEAD Pefin#ylvania Mine Accident : (irows More Serious. 'ALL DIED OF SUFFOCATION Bodies of the Victims Not in the Least Mutilated, Indicating That Death Was Due to Asphyxiation—Several Employes Gave Up Their Lives in Attempt to Warn Others of Danger. Scranton, Pa., April 10—It is esti- mated that the dead in the Pancoast mine at Throop, where an explosion and fire occurred, will reach eighty. i five. Seventy bodies have been re- covered and there are still fifteen workmen unaccounted for. These, it ks said, were working in that part of the mine where the fire raged. Stories of brave deeds done By res. cuers are told by miners who had been warned of the fire in time to es- cape. It is related that Councilman Perry, Mine Foreman Knight and Fireman Ross Dawes perished as a resuit of their going into the depths of the mine to warn others of their danger. They were overcome before they could re turn to safety. - There is a difference of opinion among mine workers as to whether the men who lost their lives could have been saved. Some think that if all men in the underworkings had been immediately notified that there was a fire in the mine all could have got out before the workings became filled with smoke and gas. Made Hard Struggle for Life. The bodies of the dead showed that | all had made a hard struggle for lifs, burying their faces deep in the culm and wrapping their coats about their heads in an effort to ward off the poi- sonous air. The disaster was the worst in ‘the history of the hard coal fields in this section, exceeding the number of dead in the terrible Twin Shaft disastei ! near here some vears ago, when fifty- | one men and boys lost their lives by entombment. The fire, which started in one of the hoisting engine rooms in the *“China” vein, 750 feet beneath the surface, the as much damage to the workings as had been believed. The fire did not | reach the entombed men and the con- dition of their bodies shows that death was due to suffocation from smoke or . tween gasps. *“What a fright ye geed » 1 3 bold their annual .Easter sale of | el I thicht ye' ss1d) the: pasler fite fancy and useful articles, give a big supper April 12th. in the Odd Fellows hall.

SEVEN ARE FATALLY BURNED Mother and Six Children Victims of Explosion. Chicago, April 10.—By the explosion of a kerosene stove six children and their mother, Mrs. Luddie Pototil, were fatally burned at Clyde, a suburb | of Chicago. One of the victims, a five-year-old boy, is dead. All the others suffered fearful injuries from flaming oil. The explosion oecurred just as tha mother hid assembled the children preparatory to putting them to bed. Mrs. Pototfl attempted in vain to ex- tinguish the fire on the clothes of her offspring, while her own dress and the wals of the room were crumbling away. The house was so quickly destroyed that it was with difficulty neighbors were able to drag out the helpless mother and children. A Marked Judge. The descriptive reporter of a certair daily paper in describing the turning of a dog out of court by order of the bench recently detailed the occurrence. as follows: “The ejected canine as he was ignominiously dragged from the room cast a glance at the judge for the purpose of being able to identify him at some future time.” Work of Providence. “The man died eating watermelons,” some one said to Brother Dickey. “Yes, sub,” he said. “Providence sometimes puts us in paradise befo’ we gits ter heaven."—Atlanta Consti- | tution.
