THE TOBACCO HABIT

To THE EDIToR or THE HERALD-The

by kindly feelings OF school In present.

a discussion OF perhaps more far reaching
consequence than we realize. The ques.
tion seems 10 be not II we condemn all
smokers, but Is II right for a teacher,

II any would advise the expense and pos
sibly injury from the use Of tobacco.
Now, most men when they begin 10 teach
are young, men seldom adopt the prOfes-
sion af'er thirty. Then, II ever, the habit
would be easily broken. ! have the ut
most respect for man who after fifty
breaks the force OF habit But man OF
twenty-five, who has not will power
enough 10 do so, is not strong enough 10
be u leader OF youths. He who cannot
control self, cannot successfully control
others. II a man feels he cannot give up
this one selfish pleasure, let him look
elsewhere than the school room for his
vocation, where the effects OF his lndul-
geBce will injure none but himself. I'm
less a man be called 70 be a teacher, there
are avenues oDen 70 him where wealth
will be much more accessible, and honor
more sure. II he n called 70 lead the

century since, there would be less q question.

BRADFoRD, April ia quiet struggle
for supremacy, which threatened to develop
into a first. class row, has been going on, it
is said, for some time among the stock
holders of the Bradford Oil Exchange.
Ever since the bull ring was ]relegated to
the cellar members of the board nave been
asking for q dividend on their stock, but so
far without avail. At a recent meeting a
proposition was submitted by a representa-
tive of one of the largest stockholders to
wind up the affairs of the exchange by sell
ing the building either at private sale or
public auction. This was agreeable to a
large number Of the minority stockholders,
who readily signed a petition to close the
business Of the exchange. Some hitch in
the matter has occurred, and it is now said
the court will be asked toappoint a receiver
for the institution.

MAY Be DEAD
Fearful Explosion in a Mine at
Pridd.
MANY uNFoAruNAres ENToMeED.

over 800 Miners sim i'm the workings
with but Little &c Any Chance of Eeinr
Rescued Alive-The Calamity Caused by
SPARKS From an Engine Rcscuiug Par
ties Hard at work.
LONDON, April IA frightful mining
accident occurred yesterday at Pouty Pridd,
Wales. A spark from an engine iguitcd
the gas ina the coal pit near Ponty-Pridd
aud caused the gas to explode. A large
number of miners were at work at the time
and the explosion caused terrible havoc.
The exact number of lives losti is not known,
but it is rumored that twenty persons were
killed and many others were more OF less
seriously injured.
Later accounts from Ponty Pridd show
the situation to be more appalling than at
first supposed. Over 800 miners are en-
tOmbed i'm the mine.
The engine house is destroyed and there
is the greatest fear that hundreds may
have persisted. The rescuers who went
down were driven back without being able
to bring up more than five of the dead
and the fate of the othermiuCrsi is la doubt.
The most agoniziug scenes are witnessed,
and throuEs of men, women and children,
relatives OF those below are crowding about
the mouth of the coal pit.
Sell later adyices from Ponty-Pridd do
not tighten the calamity, and the worst
fate is feared for hundreds OF miners. The
pit is worked i'm sections, one seam being
above another. The fire resulting from the
explosion broke out i'm the eastern section.
From this section seventy men succeeded i'm
reaching the surface through the main dip
working, led by a miner who knew the
roads.
They had a terrible struggle to get out,
forcing their way through fire and smoke.
Many of them were scorched and all were
terribly exhausted when they emerged to
safety. They brought no good news as to
those who were left behind, but on the con-
trary expressed their dread that all those in
the mine had persisted.

LONDON, April 12.-Hand grenades, bar
rels of water and pipes attached to fire en-.
gines on the surface are being used to eX-
tinguish the flames in the mines at Ponty.
Pridd. In two sections of the mine the fire
was put out. The extinction Of the flames
has been followed in each case, however, by
the accumulation of gas, and it is feared
that explosions may follow shortly. An.
other attempt to enter the seam in which
the fire started has proved resultless. Al
though the rescue party saw six dead bodies
they were prevented by smoke and heat
from reaching them.
