seanlon Hears of His Sisters Death

NEW YORK, Nov. 3-Willam j.
Scanlon's wife and father and daugh-
ter visited Bloomingdale asylum Tues
day night and told the demented
comedian that his sister Sadie was dy-
ing. He does not know yet that she is
dead, but the news will be broken to
him today. The announcement Of his
sisters illness did not produce the effect
that it was first thought il might do.
He told Harry Kean the news and
they both sat down and discussed the
matter. Scanlon said his sister would
never be in that condition if he could
reach her. "My little sister dying,n
said he; "why with my medical science
/ could bring about cure immediate
ly." The two comedians dropped the
subject suddenly, and they have not
been heard to mention it since. The
doctors thought it was best TO tell Scan
lon, for they feared he would learn of
it through the papers aud that Kean
might tell him. Such information
given suddenly might make the pat
lent violent. Scanlon is thoroughly
demented. He is growing very fat,
and seems TO have lost his memory.
| His voice is clear, and occasionally he
sings parts Of his old songs, but never
goes through with them.

The death rate Of the Russian people
in ordinary times is greater than that
Of any other civilized nation. 1t runs
between thirty-fve and thirty-seven
per thousand. This is "a per cent.
greater than the death rate Of Great
Britain, 81 per cent. greater than that
Of Germany and 80 per cent. greater
than that Gf France. Over the whole
Of Russia the average death rate Is
about thirty-six to the thousand in or
dinary times, and this is twice as high
az that Of our largest cities. II is esti-
mated that fully half Of all the babies
born In this country die before they
are five years old. A curious thing
about the health statistics Of Russia Is
that the mortality Is greatest In the

STRUCK THE Vein AGAIN
Another Coal Find by B. B. Improve
ment Co.'s PrOSpeCtOrS
A HOLE SUNK ON THE CROP
The Area of the Vein Estimated al
Not Less Than One Thous-
and Acres

II. B. Symington, the Bellingham
Bay Improvement Company's coal
expert, again struck the lost coal vein
yesterday. The vein was struck right
at the crop, and had the hole been
sunk twenty feet to the northward IL
would have missed the vein entirely.
The coal was struck while pounding
through the debris and before the drill
had been placed. The pipes went into
the coal two feet Work was then sus-
pended and the drill rugged for boring
through the vein, which will be re-
sumed today. Mr.. Symington fears
that he cannot get the full thickness
Of the vein. The discoveries now
made in this vein insure an area of
| 900 acres and not less than 10000, 900
tons Of coal. The least find was in the
ninth hole, located about two miles
north Of where the old mine was
worked In Sehome. IL will he remem-
bered that after the first discovery
Of the 1ifteen-fOot vein, at the depth Of
All feet below the surface, the drill was
moved north One-fourth of a mile,
where eleven feet of coal at depth of
$40 feet was found. The drill was
then moved 500 yards to the north
where yesterdays discovery at "A
depth Of 266 feet was made. These
discoveries show the regularity and
extent Of the measure, and insure the
possibility Of developing here one of
the greatest coal mines on the coast.
Mr.. Symington calculated in locating
the last hole to bore the vein at a
depth Of about 400 feet. The last
hole was remarkable for the depth OF
the drift. In six of the preceding
holes there was only from $50 to lS0
feet of drift, and the eighth only 2IO
| feet.

Good Roada

Lovers Of the wheel, says the New

Prof. Shaler, Of Harvard, declaring in
the Atlantic Monthly, that "in It's So
clal Importance the bicycle deserves TO
rank next to the railway and the tele-
graph among the inventions of our
waning century," General Miles has
recently assigned TO the bicycle high
military value, not only for courier
service, but for the transportation Of
bodies Of troops. But Prof. Shaler's
appreciation of its uses Is still higher
and more comprehensive. One Of the
special services performed by the
wheelmen is TO create an interest in the
bettering Of the public roads. "Every
cyclist becomes a critic Of the highway

use are now, as Prof. Shaler says,
