Terrible Disaster at the Colby Mine-Ex.
plosion of q Powder House.
BEssEMER, Mich, May S.-The powder
house at the Colby mine blew up at 8:15
this morning. Frank Robatsky was
killed instantly and Richard Riddlestone
John Riddlestone and VIM. Williams
seriously injured, although it is thought
not fatally. Several others received
slight injuries.
The explosion occurred in small
engine house 16x2O feet, twenty
feet from the main engine house
of the mine. There were two
small hosting drums in this
building which were used for lowering
timber into the mine. The drums were
tended by Richard Riddlestone. who
was the only occupant Of the building at
the time.
The first intimation that ANYTHING was
wrong was given by a subdued report of
an explosion, as if only one stick of
dynamite had exploded. Then Riddle
stone was seen to escape from
the building and fal: on his
face and hands. His brother
John, and Williams and Robatsky
heard his screams and ran toward the
building, when there was such terrific
explosion that it was plainly heard at
the Iron Belt mine, fifteen miles west
of Bessemer.
Robatsky was hit on the head by
some of the debris and when picked up
life was extinct.
The main engine house caught fire
and was totally destroyed. The loss
will probably be about $1,000.
The explosion broke glass fronts in
Ironwood and Hurley. It is thought
that there we're about ten boxes of dyila-
mite in the building, but it is not yet
known how they exploded About that
amount Of dynamite was placed in the
building every morning for the days
work in the mine
An old plant of mining machinery will
be used temporarily by the manage
ment of the Colby mine, SO that ore can
be hoisted again in day or two.
About $1,000 tons of ore will be
shipped from this mine this season, and
fully 900 men are now employed in
getting out ore.
HURLEY, Wis, May 8.-The explosion
of the Colby mine powder house, at
Bessemer, this morning, was plainly felt
here, shaking houses, breaking win.

Printers as Title Makers.

'The printers are again responsible
for giving sovereign bis title, says the
st. James Gazette. 1T has been found

ton of the fact that the new Emperor's
proclamation was signed Frederick Ill
AS we observed the other day, his maj
esty, though Frederick III. of Prussia,
is either the first Or the seventh Fred
erick Of Germany. In any case. it is
customary for royal personages to omit
the number in their signatures. The
Emperor. it appears, signed himself
Frederick l. r. but the compositor
took the two letters for a Roman numer-
al and so Frederick Ill went forth to
the world. Similarly, it is said Louis
Napoleon's first proclamations were
signed Napoleon with three notes of
exclamation after the name; and the
printers taking these signs for figures,
thereupon conferred on the Emperor

The Color of the Eyes.

Clear, light blue, with calm, steadfast
glance, denote cheerfulness, good tenn
per, constancy.
Blue, with greenish thus, are not so
strongly indicative of these traits, but a
sight propensity to greenish tints in
eyes OF any color is a sign of wisdom
and courage.
Pale blue, or steel colored, with shift
ing motion Of eyelids and pupils, denote
deceltfulness and selfshness.
Dark blue, or violet, denote great
affection and purity, but not much in
tellectuality.
Gray, or greenish gray, with orange and
blue shades and ever-varying tints, are
the most intellectual. and are indicative
Of the impulsive, impressionable tenn
permanent mixture of the sanguine
and bilious, which produces poetic and
artistic natures.
Black Ozark brown are sign of pas
siorate ardor in love.
Light brown or yellow denote incon-
stancy; green, deceit and coquetry.
Eyes of no particular color (only some
feeble shades of blue or gray, dull, ex-
pressionless, dead-looking), belong to
the Emphatic temperament, and denote
a listless, feeble disposition, and cold,
selfish nature.

other, hoping thereby to escape I'M

Why the New Irish Club, Of the First,
Was Formed.
CRACK AT THE FAWN-EYED
One Effect Of High DEMONSTRATIONS
Events of Interest Because Of
Their Peculiarities.

The Irish club organized in the First
ward Tuesday night has an ulterior
object. Politics and spoils, of course,
figure very largely, and every similar
organization with this club is organized
for the specific purpose of unifying and
harmonizing the Irish voters of the First
ward. All who are interested in poll
tics will bear in mind the three-cor-
nered row in the First ward over
an aldermanic candidate last
year. 1t is conceded among
the Democrats that an IriShman
should have the denomination and it
was left to them to say whom it should
be. Mike Hoy, John Norton, Hugh
Butler and Ed Lawler were promi-
nently mentioned, and each had a host
of friends and hackers. Then Hoy was
elected police commissioner and left the
other three to fight it out. The Ger
mans had agreed to support the Irish
choice, but the Irish could not agree
among themselves. and thus lost their
opportunity. They are determined to do
so no more. so they have organized, a
club, and that club will crystalline
and be the exponent of Irish sentiment
in the ward. Of course it is Demo
cratic club. and of course the ward is
Democratic The club will probably
name one of the next aldermen from
the ward.
1t is singular fact that Blaine car
ried the ward in 1884. though it gave
Ames 100 in 1886. could Blaine
carry the Irish vote now?" was asked a
member of the club. "Not much" was
the response. He's been found out"

To the Editor Of the Globe.
You never uttered in your paper
truer word about the fawn-eyed Evert
Nymanover than you did recently in

it. In Christiania he occupied
sumptuous apartment III the
finest hotel in the city. According
to what he himself has said in a private
letter to the cashier in the State Bank
of Minneapolis, he paid per day fifteen
crowns, which propOrtiOnately equals
81 day here in this country! Then i'll
