AN EXPLOSION IN A MINE.
Heavy Loss OF Life Among the 15(
Men In the Pit Feared.

Heavy Loss OF Life Among the $50
Men In the Pit Feared.
LONDON, Aug "A fearful mining ac-
cident occurred this morning at the Park
slip coal pit near Bridgend, mining town
in Glamorganshire, Wales. The day shift
of the miners had not been long in the mine
before a most terrible explosion was heard.
The day shift comprised $50 men and their
relatives and friends rushed to the mouth Of
the pit to learn the extent Of the disaster.
The explosion has caused earth and rock
TO fall and the mouth Of the pit Is closed.
Hundreds of miners in the Vicinity vol
unteered their services. and the work Of
cleaning the pit mouth was pursued as
rapidly as circumstances would permit.
All around the piE were gathered women
and children hoping for the best. yet.ex-
pecting the worst. The mine officials hold
out oil the hope possible, but they failed to
make the mothers and wives believe that.
there was much hope.
THE MINE ON FIRE.
LONDON, Aug. 26, SP. MA dispatch
from Bridgend says: Though volunteers
have been working since morning it Is still
impossible to reach the miners who are i'm
prtsoned In the Parkslip pit From iudica-
lions it is believed that the whole interior OF
the pit was set on fire by an explosion and
that the flames are still raging At o'clock
rescuing party brought up two men found
near the bottom Of the pit. They were
badly burned and unconscious.

Making SmOkeless Powder.

At Barwick, near Ware, England,
stand the premises Of the Smokeless
Powder company, the only works of the
kind in the kingdom. These works
cover no fewer than 128 acres of ground;
and large company assembled there
recently to watch the entire process of
manufacture from the raw material to
the finished explosive. This new COM
pound differs from the old black gun
powder not only in its freedom from
smoke when ignited, but also in the cir
cumstance that it is unaffected by damp
or extremes of temperature. After the
works had been inspected the quality OF
the new powder was tried with various
weapons by expert marksmen, and ex-
cellent practice was made. The ex-
hibition concluded with the firing of SOC
rounds from Maxim gun, when it was
shown that far less smoke was produced
than with ten shots fired with the old
fashioned gnnrowder.- london Letter.

TWO DIALECT POETS.
THE LITERARY WORK OF J. w. RILEY
AND S. W. FOSS.

Each Has Gained Fame and Both Are Of
Nstional Reputation-Reasons why the
Humorist's Work Is Not Sure of Per
mansnt Place In Literature.
OF all forms of literature the humor-
GUS is notably evanescent. And it
makes the admirers of James Whitcomb
Riley and s. W. Foss-the men now de-
lighting us-grieve to add that of hu-
morous poetry the dialect kind is usual
ly the most evanescent. It is impossi-
BILE for the spirit of one age to be repro
duced in the next, and he who is not in
the spirit misses the subtlety of the
humor. 1t is only the very finest that
will even bear transplanting, for in an
other country the jokes must be ex-
planned, and humor that requires foot
notes is dead already. Instance Hing
stons English edition of Artemus Ward.
To an American the explanations are
almost as funny as the text.
Yet how rich III suggestion some Of
the lines Of Riley are; how delicately
suggestive are the sly illusions of Foss!
But "Indian summer" is season un-
known in England, and so Britons can
but wonder at American enthusiasm
over those richly suggestive lines:
When the frost is on the pumpkin and the
folders in the shock.
In England there is no ''husky rustic
of the tossels on the corn;" no ''raspin
Of the tangled leaves, as golden as the
morn;" no forest hues that mo painter

has the colorin to mock" and while
there's frost enough, alas! there is no
"fodder in the shock" So. incredible
as it may seem, this poem an English
man can appreciate little more than the
labored jokes in Punch amuse us.
Mr.. Riley is but tfAirty-nine years old,
yet he has been poet of local note for
twenty years and of national fame
nearly as long. He got his experience
early, and got it fresh from man and
nature. Born in Greenfield, Hancock
county, Ind, and designed by his well to
do father for business or professional
man, he good naturedly kicked over the
traces while still in school and took
mp the trade of travelling sign painter.
In this line he acquired all the phrases
Of the streets, the woods and the fields.
He started in literature the master of
two languages-English and "Hoosier."
Perhaps the most elaborate joke he
ever perpetrated was poem in imita-
ton of Edgar A. Poe, which went the
rounds as newly discovered produc-
ton of that poet, and deceived as cute a
critic as William Cullen Bryant. 1t
was in 1855 that his pieces began to at
tract attention in the papers, and he has
since 1880 been recognized as the lead
ing dialect poet Of the country.
Mr.. S. W. Foss, The Yankee Blade
man, as he is called, is admittedly the
foremost rival Of Mr.. Riley in the line
Of dialect poetry. His biography is as
yet brief. He WAS born in Gambia, N.
H., June 10, 1868, and was graduated
from Brown university in 1882, stand
ing, as he says, Every near the end of the
class" He was also class poet. While
editing the Lynn (Mass.) Union he was
compelled to get up humorous column
in a great hurry one day, and to his as
tonishment, as much as any other mans.

it's just the reverse-to pay a
patient when you can't cure him.
Nevertheless, that's what's done by
the proprietors of DR.. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy. They promise to
pay you $500 if they can't cure
your catarrh, no matter how bad
the case. It isn't mere talk-it's
business. You can satisfy yourself
of it, if you're interested. And you
ought to be, if yop have catarrh.
It's faith in their medicine that's
behind the offer. It has cured
thousands of the worst cases, where
everything else failed. You can be
cured, too. If you can't, you get
the money. They're willing to take
the risk-you ought to be glad to
take the medicine.
It's the cheapest medicine you
can buy, because it's guaranteed to
give satisfaction, OF your money is
returned.
You only pay for the good you
get. Can you ask more?
That's the peculiar plan all DR..
