She is now capable of more and better
work than at any other time in her life.
She is rapid and steady worker and in
the course OF year turns out an amaz-
ing quantity OF superior matter. Two
novels of goodlY length and half hun
dred random papers are no unusual task
for her to accomplish in a twelve month.
1t she wrote twice as much as she
does there would be market for it all.
for she is the best paid female, and,
perhaps, male author in America. Mrs.
Burnett formerly enjoyed this distinc-
ton, but it now belongs to Mrs. Barr.
Her copyrights yield her large and
steady revenue; she often receives SIS, 900
for the serial rights to novel and her
shorter papers are eagerly sought for by
the editors at fancy prices. Moreover,
she is an excellent business woman and
can on occasion drive as sharp
bargain as William Dean Howeils.
and that is saying a great deal. This
ability to guard we'll her own interests
calls to mind all incident which has re-
Gently occasoned no little amusement
for her friends. 1t should be stated by
way of introduction that Mrs. Barr,
though she has spent the better part Of
her life in the United States. is still
British subject. Last winter London
publisher, without her knowledge or
consent, published in England novel
of hers which had just been issued in
America. Some months later Mrs. Barr
visited London and called OH the pub
Usher.
''Mr. Smith," she said, ''you owe me
$1,000"
what tol?" was the response.
'For the novel of mine you published
little while ago"
"But, Mrs. Barr, you know we don't
pay for that sort of thing. You Ameri-
cans steal from us,and we English think
it only tit for tat to now and then steal
from you"
Il beg your pardon, MIR. Smith, but l
am subject of the queen, and your code
of Morals does not apply in this case"
a check for $4,000 was Forthcoming
without delay. As Mrs. Barr folded it
and placed it in her pocketbook she re-
marked, with smile, II have charged
you, Mr.. Smith, $1,000 for your want Of
Torethought. Had you asked me for the
story you could have had it and well
come for $4,000"
1t is safe to say that there is one En-
glish publisher who will not again at
tempt TO pirate the novels of Mrs. Barr.

on what the theatrical profession nave
adequately termed "a frost" But with
the breaking down of the Democratic
machine, Republicans seem to have
come to life again. The corridors of the
hotel are thronged every afternoon
and evening with men anxious to get
word with ex-senator Plat. who is the
leader of his party, and who deserves
much credit for the success in the re-
cent battle. There are old-time Repub-
licans who have not been seen in the
glare of public light since the sun went
down OIL the last Republican disaster in
this state. These same men are now
the lOudest Shouters at the political pie
counter, but when disaster befel the
party they faded away as the mists of
the morning. Now that there are few
offices in sight they are on the quarter
deck, so to speak, all the time. To hear
them talk you never would believe
there was such man as Thomas
&. Plat. He is at once the wisest, most
learned and deepest thinker we have
ever had. He knows it all. These men
bow to him, cringe before him and
are more than eager to serve at
his beck and call. Mr.. Plat bears
his aonorS well. He is a remarkable
example of one who has been left for
dead oil many battlefelds only to come
to life again when the enemy expected
he was in the death throes. The RepuO-
hcams of the state of New York are
jubilant. They are already talking about
what they will do when they elect a
Republican mayor and governor of this
state. They are even looking forward to
the presidency.
calmly, has a word for everybody, keeps
himself as much in the background as
possible, smooths out all the tangles
all over the state, and is the least
aspiring of any man in the Repub-
lican party in this state today. Those
who ENJOY MIR. Platrs confidence
surmise that this will be his last
year in politics. He is anxious for the
rest and quietude of private life. His
only ambition now is to put the party
on strong fighting basis. Then be
will retire. 1t is doubtful, however, If
his successor, no matter who he may
be, will ever equal Mr.. Plat as fighter.
Plat has been in more desperate strug-
giles than any man in our state politics.
But somehow he seems to come up
smiling after the smoke of the battle is
lifted, and at this time with his party in
power in this state, his smile is trife
broader and more angelic than ever was
seen before. FOSTER COATES.

MRS. Woodruff. human race;
there were young women, who in our
mothers days would not have been sup
posed to know The meaning of the title
of this lecture; and there were middle
aged matronS, of undoubted respectable
itv and modesty, all with faces eagerly
and unDluShingly turned toward the
lecture platform where this remarkable
pioneer in many of the reforms of the
day stood addressing a New York audi
ence after silence of seventeen years.
Time was when Victoria Woodruff
drew only men and hoodlums to her
lectures in New York. In those days
thought was more conservative and con-
ventlonal than it is now, and the world
at large was not yet awakened-aS it is
awakened in degree at the present
time-to subjects of vital Importance to
the peace, safety and prosperity of the
country. Added to that, in her early
career Victoria Woodruff handled these
dangerous subjects with brutal free
dom of speech which shocked and re-
PEELED people who might have been her
allies had she gone about the matter
with more fineSSe.
She was like surgeon once knew,
who exhibited TO suffering patients and
nervous attendants the knives with
which he was to perform an operation.
Had this undoubtedly brilliant and
sincere woman concealed her weapons
with little more delicacy, she couht
have accomplished greater things and.
reached her goal sooner. Years have.
brought her caution evidently, in the
use of words. Indeed, her audience.
went away dissatisfied and disappointed
on this occasion. because of her too
great caution of utterance. In spite of
her intellectual power, Mrs. Martin does
not know how to strike happy medium
of expression. She SAYS everything or
nothing. On this occasion she said
nothing which every progressive re-
former has not said or written a score
of times i'll the last five years. She told
us with much insiStency, that the crlmi-
nal and diseased portion of humanity
ought to be deprived of the right to
propagate its species. This is simple
assertion, but it is not solution of the
great problem of increasing crime (and
consequent disease and poverty which
faces the world today.
Mrs. Martin did not seem to realize
that by the substitution of the word
power i'll place of right in the phrase
above quoted, she would have been
able to offer solution of the whole
question to the consideration of the au-
dience, and At least set them to thinking
on the subject. This undoubtedly was
her idea, but she did not know how to
present it to the Enthusiastically refined
audience, which she evidently did not
wish to antagoniZe.

brickbats promiscuously flew. One negro
drew a revolver.
State Detective McVey attempted to
quell the disturbance. He was assisted by
Sergeants Shields and Bailey of the police
force. The policemen were assaulted
by the negroes, who drew revolvers and
razors and hurled bricks at them. Detect

Mr. GLADSTONE has given notice that
he will expedite the passage Of the home
rule bill by the enforcement of the
closure rules. This will give Joy to the
millions who are anxious for home rule.

to keep the measure pending until
Christmas, and some of the home rulers
in parliament were becoming FESTIVE I'M

we're when the element of time is so inn

age. His ability to lead the forces I'M

day these powers may fail, and no other
hand in the united kingdom can SO skill

gas should be cleared away.
After taking up the bodies found at the
bottom of the shaft the rescue party waited
for several hours before making another
descent. About the middle Of the evening
they went down again. The gas had cleared
of near the shaft and they were able to ex-
anime part of the working.
The bodies of the miners lay in heaps.
Many were sent to the surface. Unremit-
ting efforts are being made to reach the
few miners who may still be alive. About
ITO are supposed to have been killed.
So much gas finally accumulated In the
mine that It was necessary to stop the
work of rescue. The men and boys missing
number 145. The dead body of the under
manager, badly burned, was found in the
mine near the shaft.
The cause of the explosion has not been
ascertained. There Is no indication that
the explosion was exceptionally violent,
but the flames spread through the main
airways with extraordinary rapidity and
produced an enormous amount of after
damp. With view to shifting the fire,
some of the passages were blocked with
wood and sand. The old unused seam in
which the fire appeared will be flooded.
There were terrible scenes of grief at the
pits mouth when the manager announced
that moro than 100 miners were lost. One
woman fell dead when she learned that hel
husband had been killed. The lord mayor
may devote to the relief of the stricken
families the fund collected for the royal
wedding fetes.

Many Miner. Entombed.

LONDON, July 6-Great excitement was
caused in Thornhill, Yorkshire, by an ex-
plosion that occurred In Ingram's colliery.
One hundred and forty-five miners were
sntombed, and it Is feared the loss of life
would be heavy.
Many bodies have been recovered and
brought to the surface. The pit Is badly
blocked with fallen rock, dirt and timbers.
Il was feared that the men who escaped
death In the explosion would be suffocated
BY the choke damp unless speedily rescued.
The day shift went to work as usual.
The ventilation was reported good. All
went well until noon, when the workers at
the pits mouth were startled by a muffied
explosion and by clouds Of dense smoke
rolling mp the main shaft. They tried to
communicate with the working, but found
that the interior had been cut of from the
shaft.
The pit managers organised an explosion
party and descended slowly through the
smoke. They were driven back repeatedly,
