A Terrible Disaster.

ploSlon occurred this morning IN the
Bamfurlong colliery, Wigan, and not
less than fifty lives are lost The
men went to york this mora:ag as
usual after the mine had been in
spected. Shortly afterwards fear
full explosion shock the earth and a
cloud Of smoke shot up through the
shaft. L is supposed the explosion
was caused by an accumulation of
coal gas which the inspector over
looked on his rounds. As soon as
the explosion occurred women and
children rushed to the mouth of the
pit, where there were the usual
heartrending scenes when such ac-
cidents occur. Steps were immed>
lately taken to ascertain the extent
of the disaster and many volunteered
to explore the pits.
Later advces say the loss of life
may be less than at first reported,
but the situation is critical. One
hundred men remain IN the mine
unable to get out, owing to the fire
which followed the explosion, and
which is raging fercely. Every eff
fort is being made to subdue the
fire and bring the survivors to the
surface. Iii impossible at present
to give the loss Of life.
Twenty miners have just been res
cued in bad condition. The men
still below are imprisoned in seam
below where the fire is raging.
There are strong hopes that many of
them will be rescued.

the two are in partnership on that

The Kilkenny Cats.

During the rebellion in Ireland in
1903 Kilkenny was garrisoned by troop
of Hessian soldiers, who amused them
selves in barracks by tying two cats to-
gether by their tails and throwing them
across a clothes line to fight. The Off
GERS hearing of the cruel practice, re-
solved to stop it, and deputed one of
their number to watch. The soldiers, on
their part, set a man to watch for the
coming officer. One day the sentinel
neglected his duty, and the heavy tramp
of the officer was heard ascending the
stairs One of the troopers, Selling q
sword, cut the tails in two as the ami
mails hung across the line. The two cats
escaped, minus their tails, through the
window, and when the officer inquired
the meaning of the two bleeding tail
being left in the room, he was cool,
told that two cats had been fighting ano
had devoured each other all but thei
tails. - Detroit Free Press.

REV. DR.. TALMAGE.
THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN
DAY SERMON.
Subject: "Thc New Year"

TEXT: "This year thou shaft die."-Jere
miqh xviii, 10.
Jeremiah. accustomed to saying bold
things, addressed Hananiah in these words.
They proved true. In sixty days Hananiah
had departed this life.
This is the first Sabbath OF the year. Its
a time for review and for anticipation. A
man must be a genius at stupidity who does
not think now. The old year died in giving
birth to the new, as the life OF Jane Sey-
mour. the English queen, departed when
that of her son, Edward vi, dawned. The
Old year was a queen. The new shall be a
king. The grave of the one and the cradle
of the other are side by side. We can hardly
guess what the child will be. 1t is only two
DAYS old, but prophesy for it an eventful
future. Year OF mirth and madnessl Year
of pageant and confagrationl 1t Will laugh;
it will sing; it will groan; it will die.
Is it not a time for earnest thought The
congratulations have been given. The
Christmas trees have been taken down or
have well nigh cast their fruit. The friends
who came for the holidays are gone i'll the
rail train While we are looking forward
to another twelve months of intense activl-
ties the text breaks upon us like bursting
thunderhead, This year thou shalt der
The text will probably prove true of some
OF us. The probability is augmented by tue
fact that all OF us who are over thirUy-nve
years OF age have gone beyond the average
of human life. The note is more than due.
1t is only by sufference that it is not col
lected. We are like debtor who is TAX
ing the "three days grace of the banks
Our race started with nine hundred years
for a lifetime. We read of but one antedi-
luvian youth whose early death disappointed
the hopes Of lis parents by his dying at
seven hundred and seventy-seven years of
age. The world then may have been ahead
OF what it Is now, for men had so long time
in which to study and invent and plan.

years for work, he makes great achieve
