the Debris.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD

lAssOclated PreSS Dispatches to the HERALD
WELLINGTON, B. c., January "a
An explosion took place on No. S
shaft, Wellington Colliery at s:45 A.
NJ. to-day. There were about 150
men in the mine at the time-whites
and Chinese. The explosion was 30
violent that it wrecked the hosting
gear and blocked the bottom of the
shaft for about thirty feet. There are
as near as can be estimated, 81 or 20
white men in the mine. and there is
no hope of rescuing them alive. A
cage can be lowered to where the
debris is, and from there the rescuing
party must descend by means Of
ladders. The work of clean
ing away the debris from
the bottom of the shaft is being
pushed forward with all possible
speed, and not till this is done can
any dead bodies be brought up. None
up to this time, 10 P. NJ, have been
brought to the surface. 12O of the
$50 in the upper levels have been
rescued.
LIST OF THE MISSING.
The following are the names of the
few that are below: Elisha Dairs,
w. Finch, Chas. Tiller, David Gordon,
John Mcneil, r. Robinson, L. Rob-
inson, A. Ross, J. Morrison, Robt.
Williams, R. Vincent, VIM. Wilkes,
Greenwell, Duncan Mcdonald, E.
Godfrey, four Frenchmen and three
Italians.
LATEST REPORTS.
The closest estimates make the
number of white men in the mines
thirty and the number of the
Cinnamon forty. All possible en-
deavors are being made to recover the
bodies. The greatest obstacle is after
damp. No hopes are entertained of saw
ing the life of any of those below.
There is no scarcity Of volunteers, as
the officials and employees of the Van
couver Coal Company are rendering
every assistance required. There is
not much damage done to the mine,
but how the explosion took place is a
mystery. Mr.. Dunsmuire is here
experimenting affairs. So far 1O3
have been rescued alive.

SAN Francisco, January 24.-The
rain of the past week has been gem
eral throughout the State. Dispatches
received from various points covering
the territory between Santa Ana in
the south and Redding in the north
show that an average of an inch of
rain fell between Sunday and Monday
night. The rainfall Of the season
compared advantageously with that Of
the same time last year, and provid-
ing that another downpour is had in
April large crops are assured. Some
fear was expressed that the cold
weather had greatly damaged the
crops in the citrus regions, but it now
appears that such is not the case. The
cold weather was too quickly followed
by warm rain to do much damage,
and few oranges at the most will be
lost.

Sad Adventures Of q Party Of
EXCurslOnists.


PoRT TOWNSEND, w. T., January "a.
L. Cunningham, H. G. and Frank
Wells and Hiram Lee, of Tacoma, w.
T., went hunting on large, unin-
habited island on Puget Sound, and
separated in their search for game.
A binding snowstorm came up, and
when late at night Cunningham and
H. G. Wells succeeded in reaching
camp they found the boat containing
their bedding and provisions deluged
by high tide, and everything covered
with ice. They built fire and re-
mained awake to keep it up, hoping
to guide their companions to the
camp. Early in the morning they
heard voice crying, and found Lee
within few hundred yards of the
camp, exhausted and badly frozen.
AT day-break
AsEARCH WAS INSTITUTED,
And Frank Wells found a mile and a
half up the mountain side. He died
while being conveyed to the camp.
They remained on the island three
days, not daring to leave in the frail
boat in the heavy seas. On the
fourth day they succeeded in attract
ing the attention of the settlers on
Eliza Island, and were rescued. Lee
will probably lose both feet the other
men are badly frost-bitten.

SECTION LINE HIGHWAYS.
Judge Osborn's Construction OF
the Law.
Ness CITY News, Ia,

Ness City News, II.
The matter of the county commission
ers allowing claims for damages done te
numerous land owners in this county by
reason of the act of the legislature Of
1887 which declares all section lines In
Ness and adjoining counties public high
ways, is substantially settled so far as ou1
district is concerned. It was contende0
on the part of some that the law itself
without any further action on the part OF
the county commissioners or other au-
thority than that contained in the act, act.
ually made every section line road, and
that the owners of the land appropriated
thereby were at once entitled to damages
by reason of such appropriation. In
order to test the matter the county at
torney secured an injunction from the
Probate Judge restraining the county
commissioners from allowing such dam
ages. This was done at the time the
board was convened in regular session
last January. Recently motion to dis
solve the temporary injunction was argued
at chambers before His Honor, Judge
Osborn, at Wa-Keeney, and the motion
was, as we think, properly overruled, and
the temporary injunction continued in
force. The judge holds that the special
act of the legislature had no other intent
or effect than to do away with the neces-
sity for petitions. viewing, ETC., as provid-
ed for by the general law for opening
public highways, and that it was just as
necessary for the commissioners to pro-
coed regularly to open roads upon Sec
ton lines as is had been prior to the pas
sage of the act referred to, except that the
tedious and expensive proceedings in
cident to securing roads under the gener-
al law were unnecessary. In other words,
the court held that the special act did not
open up the section lines for actual use a.
roads, but put it within the power of the
county commissioners to so open them
without the necessity of petition, publica-
tions. viewing, etc. We believe the
decision of the Judge to be not only good
law, but likewise good "horse sense" as
there is no immediate need of a road on
every section line, and the legislature
certainly had no intention ofsforcing our
people to have too much of good thing,
but rather sought to simplify the manner
in which the public highways might be
secured as rapidly as they became neces-
sary. Financially, the decision, if sus-
tanned finally, is of incalculable benefit to
our county, as already claims had been
filed to the amount CT more than $4,000.
This decision takes away none of our prop
erty owners rights, as they may yet file
their claims for damages under this act at
any time within one year from the time
such section line roads are opened in the
precribed by the general statutes,
and until such time they will remain in
peaceful possession of the land.

Facts Concerning Stage w.ees.

~~AA~~~AsAAA8
The prevalence Of the ''stage craze" among
women is not due to the love Of excitement
or other emotional cause, but to the gener-
orally accepted opinion that they can make
a better living in the dramatic profession
than In any other vocation. To certain
extent this Is true. The moment woman
gains recognition as a Trustworthy and capa-
bic performer in the legitimate drama or
Light opera she commands salary from $50
week upward for the entire season. Esti-
mating this at forty weeks would give
minimum salary Of 81 200 year, or $A
week. The position requires disbursements
unknown In other callings. She must have
good wardrobe and be neatly II not hand
somely dressed in private life, and both Of
these conditions involve considerable out
lay. On the other side she receives certain
discount in nearly all business dealings. Not
only do hotels, but milliners, bootmakers and
other tradesmen regularly give what are
known as Theatrical rates." these meaning
an average discount Of at least thirty per
cent.
In no other industry are such figures
known. The average shopgirl receives $6
week, seamstress S., bookkeeper 40, type
writer $1o, factory hand S., tailor operative
a and cigarette maker g. Allowing for
dull seasons, these figures, small as they are in
comparison with those paid upon the stage,
are still further reduced. Besides this nota-
bic inequality is much moro powerful
difference. On the stage there is no limit as
to earnings Every actor has before him the
potentia1ity Of fams aud fortune. Each looks
forward to enjoying at some time the princely
success which has rewarded Mary Anderson,
Mrs Langtry, Lolita and Maggie Mitchell.
In the other industries the limit Of earning
is quickly reached beyond which Industrial
laws allow no progress This is the real
magnet which draws women toward the foot

THE VICTOR vANQuisl4ED.

With the Hottentot and Bushman and the Terra
del Fueg!an
He had fought with frenzied fury, so he said.
At the Patagonian giants he had hurled his proud
defiance.
And had painted all the Sandwich Islands red;
Of Mahratta,
From the Rio de Ia Plata to the sources Of the
Nile;
He swept with his bravado realms Of khedive and
mikado
And regulated all the earth in true imperial
style.
With the catamount and tiger and the Abyssin-
ian lion
He had grappled single handed and had never
met defeat;
Every spouting hipropotamus he got his eagle
eye on
Was sure to lay out. first or last. dead brute
at his feet.
With his blazing eye a-brightening he would dash
about a-frightening,
just like fabricated tightening lunging through
the thunder storm,
Frightening with this facial feature every savage
living creature
And make the sizzling atmosphere superdu-
Then his wife came in the grocery store-a sorry
Interruption
In the middle Of story on the jungles Of
Brazil
How he fought boa constructor and came OF
bloody victor
When the serpentine devourer chased him with
intent to kill.
And she took him by the collar, bade the timid
suppliant follow,
And we heard the fellow 'holler" like doomed
soul for his sins,
"Come," she said, land have some gumption, I
want you for home consumption,
And while do the washing you must entertain

DIET OF THE AGED.
What an Authority Says ON the Subject
A Popular Error.


A Popular Error.
An authority Of no less weight than Sir
Henry Thompson declares, in arecent hand
book, that considerably more than half Of
the disease which embitters life among the
middle and upper classes Of the population is
due to avoidablo errors in diet And while
he tells us that with few exceptions men and
women are healthier and stronger in every
way without alcoholic drinks than with them
he does not hesitate to declare, at the same
time1, that more mischief, in the form Of
active disease, impaired vigor, and shortened
life, arises from erroneous habits in eating
than from the occasional use Of alcoholic
drink, great as he knows the evil of it to be.
Sir Henry does not think it q bad sign that
the appetite should diminish as age increases;
and he deprecates any attempts by stimu-
lants or tonics or concentrated foods to ''im.
prove" the appetite In such cases. As we in
crease In age we put forth less energy and
activity, and as a consequence we have less
power to eliminate excess Of food. The
scientific view Of the case is simple enough
to be popularity comprehended The over
supply Of nutrition must be thrown of or
absorbed into the system. With the young
the surplus is got rid Of by active work or
exercise: but even in tender years it makes
it, presence felt in occasional sickness. From
about middle life onward It is packed away
In the form Of fat; and it may make its
presence known by interfering with the
action Of the liver, by rheumatic attacks and
obscure and troublesome diseases.
While condemning excess generally, Sir
Henry Thompson holds, with Cornaro, that
from middle life onward persons who would
have health and long life 60 together must
conform to nature and reduce the daily sup
ply Of food. When 70 is reached it IS more
than ever necessary, he tells US, that this
should be done; and in the same way, at 80
with less activity, there must be less support.
II this course be followed, right good and
happy and even useful old age may be en-
joyed; providing, Of course, there is no in
herited faint to be combated and accidents
do not come in the way. The difficulty in
such case is that a man wants to be saved
from friends and relatives who arc apt to re-
gard lessening appetite with alarm, and
seek by endearments, and when these fail by
threats and also by superstitious means, to
force the palate beyond its natural require
ments Plain and frugal fare, then, would
seem to be the essential condition not only Of
prolonged but Of happy existence; and tho
ancient maxim remains guiding principle
to the race, that "man must eat to live, not
live to eat.n-Leeds Mercury.
