FOUR ARE DEAD.
Disastrous Explosion of Powder in West
Virginia Mine.

Disastrous Explosion of Powder in n West
Virginia Mine.
WHEELING, w. Va, May PA dis
astrous explosion at the Monongah
mine, near Paramount, occurred at
1890 o'clock p. m. A Pole carelessly
ignited can of powder in mine No. 4
of the Monongah Coal and Coke COM
pany and a terrific explosion followed.
The accident occurred in the main air
course leading to mine No 2, about 500
feet from the mouth of mine No. 4. and
the smoke was thus driven through the
different parts of the mine, suffocating
four miners. Quite number of others
were seriously, but not fatally, affected
by the smoke. The dead are: G. L.
Bertcher, William Shaver, Luke
Verika and Andrew Dunloe.
Mine Inspector Harr is on the ground
making an investigation. An inquest
will be held in the morning. The
Monongah mines are the principal
works in the upper Monongahela coal
field and the company is headed by ex-
United States Senator Camden. The
dead and injured were taken out of the
mine Immediately after the accident.
The injured will all recover. AS soon
as the powder smoke cleared away it
was found that no damage had been
done to the mine, so that work will not
be interrupted.

transferred the case of ex-Consul John

This action apparently nullifies the
sentence of 20 years confinement i'm
posed on Waller by French military

either his trial by the civil judiciary or
his ultimate release from prison.

Now that the supreme court has de-

this law is unconstitutional, the old

All the principal halls of the city
were occupied day and night by the
many meetings of the Congress, and
the Congress was the greatest event
hitherto in the religious history of
Canada.
Rev. DR.. Smith remarks in his an
nual address, that the world awaken
ing to a sense of universally, was the
KEY note and inspiration of this re-
markable gathering in which the
various Professionals and Roman Cath
Ollie bodies were represented.
1t is too soon to indicate the extent
and influence of the Toronto gather
ing, but the selection of Toronto as
the place of meeting was most oppor-
tune in view of the religious excite
ment in Canada over the Manitoba
school question. Such large and
enthusiastic gathering of all denom-
nations, moved by the liberal spirit
implied in the name of the Congress,
can not but allay the bitterness of
sectarian zeal and rancor and make
for righteousness"

"The Bible is not lightly esteemed in
this age," remarks the New York Inde-
pendent. "The Higher Criticism is not
bringing it into contempt or tending to
make it less popular. Even the des-
tructive school of critics do not for
moment think that it is becoming an
out-worn book, and should be thrown
aside. There never was time in the
history of the world when it was priced
so highly as now, or when SO much criti-
cal acumen and reverent scholarship
were brought to bear upon it to uncover
its riches"
A man made the remark in our hear
ing lately: "If what you (Universalist
ministers) teach is true, there is no need
OF churches. for all are to be saved any
how" And the remark was about as
rational as if some one said to Presby-
terrain minister, IF your doctrine is true,
you need no churches, for the elect are
sure of their salvation anyhow"
The Christian Endeavorers make this
wise remark: 1--WE believe in everything
that will take religion into politics, and
everything that will keep politics out of
religion"

THE PAN AMERICAN CONGRESS- AT
TORONTO.

The Pan American Congress which
gathered in Toronto, the capital of
Ontario, last week, is direct outcome
of the Worlds Fair Parliament of
Religions. Toronto is a specially
appropriate place in which to hold a
great gathering of all the religious
denominations, as the city has won
the enviable title of Toronto the
Good" and illustrates, perhaps bet
ter than any other American city, the
fact that religion still has something
to do even with municipal govern
ment. In Toronto no street cars run
on Sunday, no newspapers are pub
lished, and all drinks" even at
hotels, must be ordered and procured
Saturday evening, if the guest does
not wish to go thirsty ON Sunday.
The Pan-American Congress of Re-
ligions in session there will doubtless
add to Toronto's fame as a law-abid-
ing, self-respecting and religious city.
There will probably be from 10000
to 5000 delegates, Chicago sending,
among others, President Henry Wade
Rogers, of the Northwestern Univer-
sity; DIR. Wilcox. G. G. Bonney, ex-
President of the Worlds Congress of
Religions at Chicago in SO, Mrs Hen
rotin, Miss Jane Adams, Rev. Dr.Ar-
thur Edwards, editor of Northwest
ern Christian Advocate, and others.

To have monopoly of type occurs to
but few. Mary Wilkins must divide
New England with her contemporaries;
Charles Egbert Craddock must permit
others to revel in the quaint people of
the Tennessee mountains, but Mr.. Gable
need fear no poaching upon his well
stocked literary preserves.
George Washington Gable was born in
New Orleans on October II, 1874, and
there lived until the death of his father,
the easy, happy life of any New Orleans
boy. But the death of the father in 1852
brought the serious things of life sharply
home to the young man, and he found it
necessary to become one of the particle
pants in the race for bread and butter.
Those who argue that circumstances
make the man may learn something from
the life here outlined. Mr.. Cables early
experience was one weary round of work,
of hard, unremitting toll to support
family left destitute; labor SO fatiguing
that the young clerks health broke down
several times under the strain. But in
spite of WEAKNESS and i'll health, in spite
of encouragement, and in spite of what
would have been to others insurmounta-
BILE obstacles. he yet succeeded in MAX
ing beginning toward literary career.
His early efforts found publication in
the New Orleans Picayune, and there
found such favor that he was soon con-
sidered one Of the editorial staff. His
next advance was to contribute short
stories to Scribner's, and he soon aroused
the attention of the critics as new man
in a new field. About this time the bus.
mess house in which he was employed
went out of existence. and the young au
thor determined on a step which showed
plenty of courage. He resolved to give
up commercial life altogether, and to live
by his pen alone. The first work to ap-
pear after this decisive step was "Old
Creole Days." collection of seven short
stories. These stories only served to
deepen the impression that here at lest
was writer who had practically found
some NEW thing under the sun" to write
about. Then came his first complete
novel. Here was severe test.
But all doubt was dispelled by the
publication of the"G randissimes," which
ran in Scribner's serially before making
it's debut in book form. Then in 1881

is in no sense a literary grist mill like
some of our modern story tellers.
His last book, John March, South
erner," is so fresh in the minds of the
readers that a criticism Of it is scarcely
feasible. Suffice it to say that his rep
utation has not suffered any serious loss.
Mr.. Cables style is even, smooth and
limpid, and his books treat Of the simple

not have a mission. He does not put
