A Former Resident of Laingsburg.

From the State Republican:
Relatives and friends Of S. Ii. Manner,
who resides at $40 Michigan avenue east,
fear that some mishap has befallen him, as
no trace of his whereabouts can be discov-
cred. Mr.. Manner has been sick for some
time, and since his illness his mind has
become slightly deranged. This morning at
about o'clock, while the attention of his
wife was diverted, he wandered away, and
since then nothing has been heard of him.
Mr.. Manner is Ga years old. He is five
feet eight inches tall, and of medium
weight. His facial features are thin, and
he wears long, full, grey beard. He was
dressed in dark grey suit of clothes with a
white straw hat.
The matter was reported to the police
and all day long search has been in pro-
gress but up to the hour of going to press,
not the slightest clue as to the direction he
took, had been obtained.
Later-Mr. Manner was found in the
chapel at the cemetery in semi-conscious
condition. His friends hope that he will
soon recover from his trouble.
Still later-A Lansing dispatch of the
26th says: S. FL. Manner, who wandered
away from home Monday morning while in
demented condition and who was found
on the floor of the chapel at Mt. Hope
Cemetery last night, died this noon. He
was in semi-conscious condition when
found and very weak, having had no food
in over forty-eight hours. Aside from this
he had taken considerable morphine, which
he purchased last week. The circumstances
90 to show that he had taken this drug with
suicidal intent, but when found, although
talking wildly and inccherently, he would
not admit that such was his purpose and
consequently that his body be not taken
home, but be buried at once in the potter's
field. His home life was pleasant, and he
leaves valuable estate.

Burying without COthns.

From the earliest ages to within about
100 years ago it appears to have been Gus
tomary to bury either with or without a
coffin. The following is an extract from
a terrier of lands, fees, ETC., belonging to
Caistor vicarage, Lincolnshire, dated
t717: 'For every grave in the church
ward and without coffin, 4 pencei If with
coffin, 1 shilling" Among the vestry
minutes of st. Helen's, Bishopsgate, dat,
ed March 5, 1904: "Item, that none shall
be buryd within the church unless the
dead corpse be cofined in wood" Inc
late John Bernard Palmer, first abbot OF
the Cstercians in England since th'
reformation, was buried in the chapter
house at Loughborough without a cofnn'
In the days when burial without comm
was general the body was shrouded' ueo

grave in a closed bier, which was gen
orally provided by the parish for This

the case, the matter is made infinitely
worse. As for butter, not long ago

The regretted death of M. Tschalkow-
sky, which was occasioned by an attack
of cholera, deprives music of master
who had attained in his so and odd years
| distinct measure of greatness in his art.
He was past 20 years of age before he re-
solved to devote himself to musical ca
reer. This was in 1862. when the Con-
servatoire of Music was founded at st.
Petersburg. From that date practically
his career as composer began, although
it was only during the last Is years that
his M ne has been prominently associat-
ed with musical composition throughout
Europe.
Despite this widespread reputation,
however, he contrived to instill pecul-
iarly native inspiration into his music
He had bold conception of melody
which in his hands was subjected to
luxuriant and massive change, and into
which he was fond of, as it were, drop
ping Russian native phrases, imparting
70 it singularly characteristic quality
Perhaps his most ambitious operatic ef-
feet was Eugene Onegin," the chief de-
feet of which lies in its lamentably weak
iibretto.
Nevertheless it is an opera which is the
true storehouse of melody and most me-
lodious modulation. His music is rarely
dull. II is for the most part lit up by a
kind of merry and keen vitality. Indeed
he seldom persuaded himself to be calm.
and his art has consequently somewhat
restless character. But he was man OF
great distinction, whose loss it becomes
us to deplore. Pail Mall Budget.

She Knew II Already.

There is an old lady living in Somer-
setshire village who makes frantic efforts
to keep abreast of the times. Circum-
scribed, however, in her social sphere
and with limited opportunities of devel-
opment, it is difficult, and she is COM
PEELED sometimes to resort to her imag-

a somewhat surprising and amusing de-
scription.
Vain is the effort to tell her anything
she does not already know or startle her
with information.

THE WORK OF A MIGHTY BLAST.

Nearly 100000 Tons Of Rock I,oosensd bv
Single Explosion.
For many years a huge mass Of rock
technically known as "dike," legacy
from previous workers, has frowned
over one Of the Great Dinerwic quarries,
the property Of Mr.. Assehton Smith,
and has been a growing menace to the
safety OF men employed in the galleries
below, which, in series of terraces, rise
almost from the edge Of the lake far up
the steep breast Of the mountain. The
Hon. W. W. Vivian, who manages the
quarries for Mr.. Assertion Smith, de-
cided to remove the dixie, and during the
last three months preparations for its
destruction have been in active progress.
From three longitudinal tunnels in the
solid rock 10 chambers, each II feet by
feet, were made and charged with gel
attn dynamite. Each bag Of this ex-
plosive was placed in position by Mr..
Vivian himself. Everything having been
satisfactorily arranged, Mrs. Assehton
Smith was requested to fire the 90 min
utes' time fuse leading to the mass of
some 81 tons Of gelatin dynamite safely
packed in the entrails of the rock, re-
quest to which she readily acceded. The
hour was fixed for o'clock on Satur-
day, and shortly before the time thou
sands of people from Llanberis and ad-
jacent villages-Bangor, Carnarvon and
other towns-took up advantageous posi-
tions in the neighborhood.
Punctually at the appointed time Mrs.
Assehton Smith fired the time fuse, and
at l :02 o'clock the earth for mile round
was shaken as if by an earthquake. At
the next instant the face of the tremen.
dous dixie, which lowered gloomily mp.
ward and on either side of which the
rain covered rock glistened in a passing
burst of sunshine, began to quiver omi-
nously, and the loose earth in its crevices
clattered down its smooth face like an
avalanche. Next from different parts of
the rock came sputtering bursts of smoke,
and then enormous blocks detached them
selves from the mountainous mass of rock,
toppled slowly forward and finally crash
ed into the abyss below with deafening
uproar, which, mingling with the thun.
ders of the exploding dynamite, now
freed from it's rocky prison, reverberated
grandly among the mountains that tow
cred ruggedly into the cloud darkened
sky. Again and again was the downfall
of the huge masses of rock repeated till
lsO, 900 tons lay like "tumbled fragments
of the hills" far below. A dense white
smoke, the deadly afterdsmp, clung for
awhile around the scene of theexplosion,
and, when cleared away. in the place Of
the dixie there was great gap, In which
glistened here and there pinnacles Of
splintered rocks.-London Telegraph.
