always by his son Erneste now about forty

The reading on the signs began with demand for
tho last will and testament OF brother of Nirgile

The Frenchman came to America twenty years ago
expecting TO inherit the fortune OF brother who
had died In California They both became insane
ON this subject, and probably imagined that by
going abont proclaiming their loss they might get
their rigbtful dues. The son. instead of attending
his fathers funeral went out the streets bearing

Victoria and Ireland.

Parliament reassembled yesterday, and
the Queens speech was read from the throne
by Lord Telborne, the High Chancellor.
Relative to the condition of Ireland the
Queen said
The condition OF Ireland at this time, as COM
pared with that which described at the begin
ming OF last year, shows signs OF improvement,
and encourages the hope that perseverance In
the course you have pursued Will be rewarded
with the happy results which are so much to
be desired. Justice has been administered
with greater efficacy, and the intimida.
ton which has been employed TO deter
occupiers OF land from fulfilling their
oflthe act OF last session shows upon the whole
a diminished force My efforts, through the
bounty Of Providence, have been favored by
an abundant harvest In that portion of the
kingdom. In addition to q vigorous execution
Of the provisions OF the ordinary law, have
not hesitated, under the painful necessity of
the case, TO employ largely the exceptional
powers intrusted to me for the protection
of life and properly by the two acts OF the
last session. You VIII be invited to deal
with proposals for the establishment in the
English and Welsh counties of local
self-goyernment which has so long been
enjoyed by towns, together with enlarged
powers of administration, and with financial
changes, which Will give you opportunity Of
considering, both as to town and county, what
may be the proper extent and most equitable
and provident form OF contribution from tho
imperial taxes in relief of local changes.
These proposals, In SO far as they are financial,
VIII apply TO the whole of Great Britain. 1t
Will be necessary to reserve the case Of Ireland
for separate consideration.

The Hebrew Question.

The Russian government is about to pub
lish statement which it hopes will put an
end to the foreign agitation regarding the
Jews. 1t is to the effect that it has hith-
erto thought it worth while to contradict
the unfounded rumors that England was
about to take course so much at variance
with existing good relations as to iatercede
on an internal question which every gov
ernment regulates in accordance with its
own views and which never admits of
foreign interference which is only
calculated to increase the irritation
of the ignorant and credulous people who
carry ON the anti-Jewish movement. The
statement then shows that hundreds of
people have been tried and otherwise dealt
with by the authorities of various towns
particularly by those of Warsaw, where
1902 have been committed for trial. The
statement concludes by saying that all pre-
cautions will be taken in future, but that it
is necessary to avoid aggravation by the
outside influence arising from false rumors.
A dispatch from London says that the
Lord Mayors Jewish relief fund amounts
to f35,000. There was great meeting of
sympathy with the Jews at Birmingham
yesterday. Letters fsympathy from Messrs
John Bright and Joseph Chamberlain were
read. The former said the frenzy which is
born OF ignorance and superstition would
not always be controlled by a government
but he hoped that Russia and Germany
would do what is possible to put an end to
the cruelties.

Death of n Centenariau.

Mrs. Elizabeth Kretzer died on Monday
at the home of her son, Jacob Kretzer,
butcher, on the Hartford turnpike, eight
miles from Baltimore, aged 105 years 9
months and 2 days. This remarkable old
lady was born in New York city, and came
Her husband, John Kretzer, was in the
country's service and lost his life in the
war of 1912. He was over 40 years of age.
Mrs. Kretzer had therefore been widow
for seventy years, and was the Oldest 1912
peusioner ON the Maryland records. She
enjoyed good health and never required the
services of physician until eleven years
ago, when she fell and fractured a limb.
A month ago Mrs. Kretzer paid visit to
Baltimore and enjoyed the trip. She was
able to go about until three weeks ago,
when she succumbed to bodily infrmities.
Her mind was clear and memory undimmed

The Cnnl MING niansicr.

The rumor that another explosion had
occurred yesterday afternoon at o'clock
at Grove shaft, In the Midlothian Grove
coal mines, caused the most intense excite.
ment at Coalfield, Va. This news, coaing
so close upon the heels of the terrible
calamity of Friday last in which thirty
two men lost their lives, spread through
the little hamlet of Midlothian and ada
cent country like wildfre. Women and
children ran through the village screaming
and yelling.
The mouth of the chasm was soon
thronged with crowd of anxious miners
and their families.
Mr.. George Kendler, one Of the most ex-
perienced miners, penetrated some 900 feet
down the first incline, and upon his return
reported that he had discovered evident
symptoms of the coal further on being on
fire. This led to the immediate withdrawal
from the shaft of the exploring party, of
which Kendler was member. Steps were
at once taken to close up and seal the mouth
of the mines, and all other apertures thereto,
to prevent air from reaching the fire.
The search for the twenty bodies of
the victims of the disaster of Friday had
TO be stopped, for the present, at least.
These mines caught on fire about year
ago and burned for weeks. In other mines
of this same group the coal has been known
to catch fire and burn for months.
The grief-stricken relatives and friends
of the dead now emboweled in this tomb
of fire are inconsolable at the prospect of
their remains being burned to crisp and
never recovered.
1t is, of course, impossible to tell how far
the fire has extended or when it will ex-
haust itself.
The coffins sent Saturday in which to
bury the bodies now in the mines are not
likely to be needed. There is no danger
of any further loss of life, even should
other explosions occur. All of the men
who were working down in the pit came
out as soon as the fire was discovered.
A meeting of citizens of Midlothian was
held yesterday for the purpose of forming
plan to procure relief for the families Of
| the entombed miners. Col. O'Brien pre-
| sided at the meeting, and a committee was
appointed to make general appeal to the
| public, and that the newspapers through
| out the country be requested to ask for and
receive contributions for the aid Of the
sufferers, and forward the same to the relief
committee at Coalfeld, Va, or to the First
National Bank, Richmond, Va. The ap-
peal sets forth that there are twenty-six
widows and 100 orphans thrown upon the
community by the explosion, the majority
of whom are in helpless and destitute
condition. The Richmond g. Danville
Railroad Company will carry free all
packages sent to the relief committee al

A Leave-Taking.

When am dead, you VIII not quite forget,
Dear loye-you Will not quite forget your
own,
Who sleeps so dreamlessly, with silent lips
Under the flowers tho gold-bee droning slips
Low down beneath the grasses, tangled
grownY
You Will quite not forgot the loving arms
That used to creep and twine about your
neck,
In those sweet far-onr days OF love and trust?
OIL that such love should turn 10 yerlest
Beyond the thrill Of cry, or smile, or beck,
You VIII not quite forget the clIngIng lips,
hose-red and warm with youths own royal
wine;
Not quite forget the kisses close and strong
Oh God, the rapture stayed not oyer-long
The worms will not much pity hesh OF
mine.
Dear heart, when l am dead, thro' all the
space
ofliying you may tread, ahl promise me
Sometimes you'll think OF one who mutely
Who dreams beside the unknown waveless
Whose bark went out upon the shoreless
sea.
Beneath the sunrise glorles OF the East;
Think OF the dropping lids that yelled the
eyes
Feast
Fen tho some fairer head may lie upon
The throbbing, passionate heart that was
my own
Fen tho some darker eyes look into yours,
Ana sweeter lips press close with sorceress
And she has all my kingdom, crown and
throne.
All, love, out there beneath the vlolets
Beyond the reach OF sin, and toll, and
fret
VIII lie the truest heart a man Ger won;
Tho deepest, tenderest love unspent un.
done.
AhI say, dear love, you will no, quite for
gotf
