Oldest and Most Worked Properties ~ Have Become So Engulfed That Cost of Pumping Them Out Would Exceed Their Value. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 9 —As near: ly as can be at present learned, mines in the anthracite region will beaban- doned entirely, owing to the great damage done by flooding with water and the falling of< earth from the The loss will amount to $5,- 000,000, It is probable this list will be con- siderably increased, because it can- not be told now just what the condi- tion of some of the mines is. The ‘abandonment is due to the fact that since the strike began the companies have been unable to keep them clear of water, and they have gradually filled until now the expense of pump- ing them out and getting them in shape for work would be greater than the profit on the coal left in hem. Conservative estimates place the loss of the mines at over $5,000,000, while the cost of clearing the great pumber which are badly damaged will be twice that sum. Alrendy the loss to operators by unmined coalat the normal price is $20,000,000 and the immense sum of $40,000,000 will hardly cover their aggregate losses and expenses for the 13 weeks of the strike which ended to-day. The deeper the mine the greater the amount of water that flows into and the greater the cost of opera- tions, both in clearing the mine and mining the coal. The whole number of men affected will be about ten thousand, and many small. mining villages will be deserted, so that there is to be added tothe mining loss a property loss which cannot be estimated now, Itis noticeable that the men for- merly eisployed at those mines which are to be abandoned are moving from the region or searching for oth- er work, The loss of the several mines of the Philadelphia and Read- ing Coal Co. will not seriously de- crease the output of that company, as it has great tracts of virgin-coal in parts of the Schuylkill region which will now, it is expected, be mined. “SKULL OF AMERICAN ADAM.” — Scientists Much Interested in Lansing, Kas., Discovery. Kansas Citr, Aug. § —Professors N. H. Winchell of Minneapolis, War-| ? ren Upham of St. Paul, Erasmus Haworth, geologist of the University of Kansas; L. W. Willis, paleontolo- gist of the University of Chicago; Sidney J. Hare and A.C. Long, cu- rator of the Kansas City Museum, today visited the place of recent dis- covery of a human skull near Lan- siag, Kas., inspected the skull and its geological surroundings and are unanimous in pronouncing it of the Iowan stage of the glacial period, interuglacial or eariier. The discovery is said to be of great importance. The ‘Lansing skull,” as it is called, now ranks as the most ancient found on the American con- tinent, andis the brain case of the “Adam” of America, one of the geo- logists said. The skull is in the Kansas City Museum. Women and Jeweis. Jewels, candy, flowers, man—th is the order of a woman's preferences. Jewels form a maguet of mighty power to the average woman.

Instructidns Sent the Topeka’s Com- mander in Case of an Attack in Venezuela. St. Joseph Insane Asylum Drops In- Washington, Aug. 11.—Minister Bowen, at Caracas to-day, advised the state department that the Ger- mans intend to laud a naval force at Porto Cabello to protect German in- terests there threatened’ by the up- rising now in progress.

Kaiser Sent Word to American Girl that the Gold Band Belonged to the German People. New York, Aug. 13—Le Matin’s second articleon the “German and American Eagles” series, appeared this morning. It is entitled “The German Crown Prince’s Romance,” and «gain plainly gives the name of the woman with whom the prince is said to be enamored as Miss Gladys Deacon. Le Matin says the prince was able to meet Miss Deacon owing to the social protection accorded her by the Duchess of Marlborough. “The fact that the prince so early iost his heart,” says the paper, ‘‘can be understood if one remembers the pleasant contrast which the uncere monious, unrestrained association with the American girl and the pleas- ant surroundings of Blenheim form- ed to the artificial life of the German mperial court, The young prince felt’ positively emancipated His first essay at flirtation in the Ameri- can fashion was fatal. The prince made his declaration to Miss Deacon in due form and thisis what Miss Deacon ia said to have replied: “*Your highness, | love vou as you love me, but vou will reeognize that it is worthier of von asit is of my- self, that I should insist upon a mar riage, not morganatie and secret, as is the custom in certain branches of your family, but an) onen, legal pro- claimed marriages duly announced to the chancellors of Europe.’ ” Le Matin then goes on to suy that the prinee pleaded against such a condition, but that three dave after receiving Miss Deacon's ftimatum, he visited her and asid proof of my good faith engagement ring. It isa sacred em- blem. It was given me bv my great grandmother, Qneen Victoria, It was taken from her own hand and she begged meto part with it only to mv wife. T gave hermy word and now! give it to Then the prince slipped the ring on Miss Dea- con’s finger, Le Matin, eontinning. says: “Here is the This is our vou.” “The Duchess of Marlborough isin entire sympathy with Miss Deacon in her dreams of becoming an empress. The duchess argues that she married a duke, and why, then, should not her protege marry a prinee of the empire. The Duke of Marlhorough war at first ironieal bit afterward fellin with the dreams of Miss Den- con and the duchess The Emperor William has sent a Messenger to Miss Deacon, demand- ing the return of the ring given her by the crown prince, saving that the not the propert . of the erown prince, but was a gift from the Empress Frederick to the Gorman nation, Miss Deacon backed hy the Duchess of Marlborough. indignantly refused to part with the precious token Messenger su messenger, each of higher rank, and each more diplomatic in his manner than the preceding one until attast Miss Deacon, in a fit of anger and ring was love ceeded wounded love, threw the ring in the representative's face. Meantime the crown prince was closely confined to. his room and his uncle, Prince Henry of Prussia, was sent to represent Emperor William at the coronation of King Edward. Reading Admiral Evans. When Admirals Evans and Schley were both assigned to duty on the light house board, which convenes inrooms,at the treasury in Wash- ington. the colored messenger at the door one morning stopped Admiral Sehley. “T wish,” said the darkey, “you would speak a kind word to Com- *dore Evana for me. it in for me.” “You must be mistaken. George,” Schley replied. “1 happen to know that Commodore Evans. like the rest of us, thinks highly of your dis- tinguished services.” “Oh, I's sure.” persisted the color- ed man, “that Com'dore Evansdon’t lke me no more.” “What makes you think so?” de- manded Schley. “Well,” explained the messenger, “usualty when Com'dore Evang ar- rives in the mornin’ he says: “Hello, George, you blankety-blank-blank fool, how are you?” but dis mornin’ he done say merely, ‘hello, George.’ The Com’dore must surely taken a pow’ful dislike to me.” He's done got
