IL was Sunday there were but fourteen
men at work in the mine at the time of
the explosion. These were all either
killed or badly hurt. The injured were in
such condition that they could not be re-
moved from the mine, and it is feared all
will die. The accident was caused by a
naked lamp The damage to the mine
will reach $50, 600.

BOB INGERSoIL ON WOMEN,
He Thinks They Should Have Divorces
at Their Will.

CHICAGO, Nov. g. Colonel Ingersoll,
aPope Bob" the agnostic, lectured at the
Auditorium Saturday night on Liberty.
In the course of his lecture he had this to
say about women: "Men are slaves, but
women are the slaves of slaves. In my
opinion woman has every right but one,
and that is the right to be protected. They
say that woman is the cause of all trouble.
All grief and pain and tears have been ac-
counted for because Eve ate the forbidden
fruit. But / would rather live on earth
with the woman l love than in a heaven
alone with men. A man who destroys
the happiness Of wife and child is MUIR
derer. 1t is duty to get married-the
nobiest ambition to have a home. A man
who has loved and been loved has made
success, even if he dies in the gutter.
Not a Square Deal for the Men,
u would give divorce to every man if
the woman had violated her contract. 1
would give divorce to every woman who
wanted it, whether the man had violated
the contract or not No woman should
live with a man she does not love. 1t is
not virtuous to do it. and the highest
form of virtue is the purest form of love.
LII women are the slaves of slaves children
are something worse. Parents make a
mistake in bring up children instead of
letting then grow. If father is tyrant,
his child will be liar. The lie comes
crawling out of the white mouth of fear.
An Open Worlds Fair Sunday.
''The orthodox barbarian in the dugout
was opposed to all happiness on Sunday.
We are going to have in this city the
greatest fair ever witnessed by mortal
man. 1t is not only to be worthy of pro-
~ va l,,t, hr ftI Ia
republic. The man who says the fair
should be closed on Sunday is monu-
ment of impudence No day is too good
to be happy" The cheers that followed
these words testified to the temper of the
audi ence

Swede arrived from Minneapolis Satur-

hotel without registering. Yesterday
morning smoke was seen issuing from his
room, and while Proprietor McKinnon
was breaking in the door, which was
bolted on the inside, the lodger smashed
through the heavy glass pane and threw
himself headlong from the third story
window. After extinguishing the flames
McKinnon hurried to the pavement and
found the man covered with blood dying
from hemorrhage. Papers on his person
were directed to Nels johnson and showed
that he lived in WermIapd, Sweden.

THE G. A. r. AND THE REBEL FLAG.

Comm anderPalmer Calls the Latter the
Emblem of Treason.
ALBANY, Nov. 9.-Commander- in Chief
Palmer, of the G. A. R.. has issued an Or
der in which he refers to the recent par
ticipation of members of the G. A. R.
wearing the badges and uniform of the
order IN the ceremonies of unveiling the
monument to Editor Grady, of the At
lanta Constitution, recently at Atlanta,
and upon which occasion the rebel flag
was displayed by some too Jealous
mourners of the lost cause"
Union Vets in the Wrong Box.
General Palmer says in effect that a G.
a. r. man, wearing the badge and uni
form, marching in a procession or attend
ing ceremonies where the rebel flag is dis
played Is in the wrong box; that he is vio-
lating his obligation, and should always
avoid even the sem blance of liberation of
the emblem of treason" While having
no desire to arouse sectional animosities
or passions, the general thinks that men
who are loyal 10 the United States should
relegate the stars and bars to the limbo to
which it was sent when General Grant
gave vanQuished enemy the most mag
unanimous terms ever recorded in the his
tory of the world, and that at any rate G.
A. r. men should not encourage its dis
play

declining the offer, the story goes that the

THE JOKE SEEMS ON ARxeLL.
A Humorous Conspiracy That Somehow
Did Not Materfalize.

Dfu NOT Mater1aItZe.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9-Mr. w. J. Arkell
invited twenty of his friends to meet Mr..
William Wilde, Mrs. Frank Leslie's hus-
blnd, at dinner at the Gilsey house
Friday night. 1t was to be an American
dinner, and the original idea was to i'm
p 'ess Mr.. Wilde with an amazing exhibit
tion Of some peculiarly American customs
prepared for the occasion. The guests
came with a smile on their lips and
wink in their eye, but then Mr.. Wilde
came, too. And as Mr.. Wilde lowered
several inches over the tallest of the
guests and looked as if he could raise a
man with each arm, the project began to
look rather risky.
For He Was a jolly Good Fellow.
When, after dinner, Mr. Arkell, who
reaches to Mr.. Wilde's shoulder, intro
duced him, and he made short speech,
interesting and full of wit, the project
was laid aside completely, and everybody
went in for an evening of solid enjoy.
ment. Half dozen speeches were made.
and when the party broke up Mr.. Wilde
was on pleasant terms with many news
