Two Smiling weepers.

In all the history Of optimistic philoso-
ply there will not be a page that will
crinkle more 1oyously than the record Of
the composed fortitude with which two OF
our Mugwump friends. the Boston Herald
and the Springfield Republican bear up
under the tremendous crash In Pennsyl-
vanis. "A few years ago." says the Boston
philosopher. "Mr. GROW urged that free
trade In coal would be decidedly advan-
tageous to the mining industries OF Penn
sylvania. Accordingly. his election Is. to
this extent. an endorsement Of the WILSON
bill" The Springfield philosopher puts the
same conclusion In an interrogatlve form.
but the Interrogation Is merely for rhetori-
cal effect:

PhfadpLii Rec long been In favor Of free coal

how big q Republican majority will be re-
Quired for an entire endorsement and q
complete tariff-reform victoryl
This question Is for mathematiclans only.
We wouldn't vex the souls and set a-boiling
the brains of two so buoyaut philosophers
and good men struggling with adversely. AZ

Herald by any base considerations Of num-
bers and logic. Dear souls How sweet 1t
Is to see them smiling through their tears.
and removing their handkerchiefs once In

of the partial endorsement and victory In
Pennsylvania.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
Miners Rescued.

PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Mar. latter
working under great difficulties, but
with great energy under the direction
of Mine Inspector Stein, the men en-
tombed in the Boston Run mine were
rescued at 1920 o'clock last night in
the east counter lift of the Buck Noun
tain vein. 1t was not, however, until
after n o'clock this morning that
they were brought to the surface and
were restored 10 the arms Of their
loved one who had stood at the mouth
of the slope eighteen hours dreading
every moment to hear the same dread
full news as had been sent up to
the surface OF the Gaylord slope,
in Luzerne county, last week.
There was general rejoicing when the
five men were seen emerging from the
dark slope in a mine ar. The accident
was caused by the bottom Of an old
water-flled mine breach dropping into
an old workod-out breast and running
down to the counter gangway and
blocking it up. The rescuing party in
cutting through this rock, dirt and ice,
juggled or fore-poled and thus made a
small gangway as they went along.
The work was attended with much
danger caused by the water making the
top-rock unsafe. The gangway was
blocked by a pile of debris twenty-five
by fifty feet in extent. Among this
there hung cakes of ice weighing sew
eral tons each. This made the work
most dangerous. The men entombed
in counter lift We're William Irwin,
Louis Weikel, James Kramer, Charles
Mohant and Elwood Mendel, all Of
Frackville. The men entombed in the
lower life, who were rescued earlier in
the evening, were two Polanders by the
name of Wilkes.
