yacht and before any preparation could be
made to meet it, the vessel capsized. The
squall passed away as quickly as 1t had come,

upturned craft. They succeeded in picking
up thirteen persons who were struggling in

Indiscriminate Giving.

It is all very well to preach against in
discriminate charity, and to those who
are inclined to benevolence the lesson Is
most valuable. There is too much care
less giving, for charity no doubt often
breeds mendicancy, and if there is to be
giving it ought to be thoughtful, to the
end that it may do good and not evil
Besides the charitably disposed, how
ever, are those who are careless of the
misfortunes Of their neighbors and
those whose selfshness is rarely tempt
ed to make sacrifice for the happiness
Of their kind.
When such as these do a charity they
are the important benefciaries, and it is
TO them that the divine precept concern
ing the blessedness of giving applies. It
matters little whether these give with
discrimination or indiscrimination; their
gifts are so few that they cannot work
much harm. IF the encouragement Of
begging depended on the occasionally
and spasmodicaHy generous, the trade
would assuredly die out. 1t is well not
to preach the cold truth to them, for
they need little enough excuse for but
toning up their pockets. Let them open
their hearts when they will, thoughtless-
Iy or not, as it may chance. What good
is done by them will be chiefly to them
selves, and they will always, for a time
at least, be the better for their improved

EIGHTY MINERS KILLED
Terrible Explosion Of Fire Damp
Occurs in a Bohemian
Coal Mine.
Eighty of the Workmen Killed
and Scores Of Others
Injured.
Many Fruitless Attempts Made
to Rescue Those Yet
Alive.

VIENNA, Jan. 25.-An explosion OF
fire damp occurred Tuesday in the Fort
Ochritt mine, at Dux, in Bohemia.
Eighty miners We're killed and scores
were injured. The explosion occurred
in the morning when the shifts were
changing. A cage of miners had been
lowered half way down the shaft when
the ground trembled, loud, rumbling
report was heard, and the cable at
tached to the cage gave such lurch
that the lowering machinery broke. A
rush of air and dust from the pits
mouth, the sound of crashing timbers
and the cries of the men in the cage
gave warning to the men above Of the
extent of the disaster. Help was sum-
moned, the machinery was repaired
after delay of half an hour, and the
cage was raised. Ten of the occupants
had been
Killed Instantly by the Shock,
ten had suffered fractures from which
they cannot recover, five who had
broken limbs and internal injuries will
live. They had been half suffocated by
the gas rising in the shaft, and said
that no man could live below. An hour
later the superintendent of the mine
and five miners from the night shift
went down in the cage. They were un-
able to go more than 100 yards from the
shaft into the gallery, but they found
fourteen dead bodies. Of the fifty men
who were waiting for the cage, ten had
been killed and forty had been partially
crushed by falling timbers or half suffo-
Gated by the foul air. A short distance
from the shaft the superintendent
found four bodies which had been
crushed beyond recognition by falling
beam. The bodies and the injured were
taken to the top, where the whole min
ing settlement had gathered to
watch the work of rescue. The men
who had been brought up from the
bottom said that few minutes after
the explosions they had
Heard Cries and Groans
from the mouth of the gallery about 800
yards from the shaft. There was heavy
timber work at this place and twas be-
lieved that the men in this gallery had
been imprisoned by the falling beams.
They believed that some forty men had
been at work there. Shortly before the
cage came down they said all the cries
had ceased. Another rescue party went
down at once. They could see several
dead bodies ON the other side of the tim
bers but were unable to get at them and
returned to the top empty handed. 1t
is believed that all the men in the gal
lery were suffocated or killed by the
shock of the explosion. Twelve miners
who worked in the extreme interior of
the mine on the night shift and had not
started for the shaft as soon as their
companions, are also believed to be
dead.

New YORK.. Jan. 25.-The Press, in
skiing of the visit of Hon. Thomas
IT. Bayard to the president-elect at
Lake8ook, says:
Some Of Mr.. Cleveland's friends were
surprised to hear that he had sum-
moned his former secretary of state,
Thomas F. Bayard, of Delaware, to
Lakewood and that Mr.. Bayard was
ikelyto be the secretary of state in the
next cabinet.
The Press has high authority for the
statement that Mr.. Cleveland practically
decided to make this appointment be-
fore inviting Mr.. Bayard to Lakewood.
A reporter asked an ardent adherent of
the president-elect, one who has held
confidential relations with him, whether
Mr.. Bayard had sought the office. Mr..
Clsveland's friend said: ''No, not any
more than he did in 1885. But there
'are excellent reasons why he should be
made secretary of state. 1t must be
remembered that the president-elect
looks upon the reformation of the tariff
sytem as the most important work en-
trusted to him. If the president-elect
is to have time and opportunity to
carry out this difficult work he and his
friends both recognize that tried men
must relieve him of the details and es-
pecially of those foreign complications
that arise to trouble almost every adj
ministration. One of the arrangements
put forward in favor of Mr.. Bayards
reappointment to his old post is that
the question now important in foreign
affairs are almost identical with those
that came to the front during Mr..
Cleveland's former administration. Mr..
Bayard would be prepared to enter upon
his work almost without any necessity
for the delay inseparable from the
choice of new secretary"
