to every living being in its path.
The men were working 1000 feet
from the spot where Golightlys lamp

unusually gaseous condition of the
mine the scorching flames spread SO
rapidly that there was no escape.
As soon as the explosion occurred,

gathered at the mouth of the shaft.
Great excitement prevailed among tho

children shrieked in an agony Of grief

SLEUTHS AT THE DOORS

CHICAGO, Sept. 10 - Experienced
sleuths in plain clothes mingled with
the crowd that sought admission To the
parliament of religion in the Art insti-
tutc, and closely scrutinized each face
as its owner passed in through the
doors OF the auditorium and main as
sembly rooms. Their presence was due
to the development that during the first
week OF the parliament the light
fingered gentry-and. for that ma tier
gentlewomen. also-played havoc with
the personal possessions Of many Of the
godly folk in the various audiences
Fat pocket-books had been distracted
from mysterious pockets. while the
heads OF their owners, and possibly of
the pilferers, were bowed in PRAYER.
Watches and chains disappeared from
vests and from dress pockets, and. i'm
credible as IL may seem, a pair of dia-
mond solitaire earrings were extracted
from the ears OF fair wearcr as she
sat spellbound under the influences
OF the peroration of Buddhist

from now on, however, is expected to
serve as warning to the depred.tors
to keep at q safe distance from the
