AN MOND-EYED MIDGET.
Tsui Yew Me, the Baby Heiress of the
Chinese Minister.

Chinese Minister.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. THE
heiress of the Chinese legation, Tsui
Yew Me, is as much Of a mystery as
ever. She is now months old, and
few people have yet been allowed to
meet her. The Tsuis have one son
and Miss Ne. The minister is perfect
~ devoted to the little girl and wanted
to know immediately If Miss Me wasn't
a pretty baby, as pretty as American
babies. She is pretty, with cunning
almond eyes and regular button of s.
mouth. Her clothes are regular Chinese
baby clothes, and over the various blue,
red and yellow pieces was a heavily
quilted wrapper of pink bound with
green, and shaped just like Yum Yatna's.
All the time she wears a funny black
silk cap with a hole cut out on the
crown. In the center OF the front is q
brass ornament and a couple Of bobbing
red pompons. Four flat coins are sewed
along the front edge. They express
wishes for her lifelong health, wealth,
and prosperity, and were presented by
friends when she was born. The droll-
est feature is a little silver bell like
sIeigh-bell, that is sewed on the top of
the cap, and tinkles with every move
ment OF the baby's little head.

ARREST OF A SUSPECT.

SAN Francisco, CAL, Dec. South
worth, who is believed in New York to
be the bomb thrower, is well known
here, but it is not believed he is the man
who threw the bomb. Chief of Police

Southworth was the man. He was not

Terrible Catastrophe in Mine in Rus
sian Poland.

sian Poland.
ST. PETERsBUR3, Dec. IA terrible
catastrophe has occurred in a colliery
located at Nifka, in Russian Poland. No
details Of the affair have as yet been re-
ceived here, but it is conjectured that
the accident was the result of
an explosion of fire damp. Further
intelligence is anxiously awaited and
hopes are expressed that the loss of
lie, which the first dispatch places at
$50, is over-estimated. In addition to
these $50 men who are said to have lost
their lives, forty horses were killed.
PARIS, Dec. IA sad scene Is being
enacted at the mouth of the Puts de la
Manufacture, the mine belonging to the
St. Etienne Colliery Company where an
explosion occurred yesterday. Wives,
mothers and sweethearts stand about
the pit mouth, weeping bitterly and
mourning their dead. Here they stood
through the long, dreary night,
needless of the many entreaties made
to them to return to their homes. The
hope that some of the miners who had
been imprisoned by the falling walls Of
the chambers might be still alive has
been abandoned. The air in the mine
is still foul and sitting, and the men
who have been down in it say it
would be impossible for anyone to
live in it for any length Of time. Since
midnight fifteen bodies have been taken
from the pit. There are yet twelve
bodies in the lower gallery. The res
cuers are making their way as rapidly as
possibly toward them, and it is expect
ed that they will shortly reach and re-
move them.
