EIGHT MEN IN PERIL.
Buried Three Hundred Feet Under Ground
but Saved by Fellow Miners Who Dug
Drift from Another Mine.

Ironwood. Mich. May 21.-Eight men
were entombed in an immense cavein
at the Ashland mine this morning.
They were working 800 feet from the
surface when the cave-in occurred. All
were rescued by miners who drifted
through from the Norris mine. All
were uninjured.

Lived Without a Brain.

From The Wilkesbarre. Pa. Record.
\ Wiiiiamsport man has surprised the
scientists by living for years without
brain. John BY. aged twenty years. who
died recently. had suffered for a long time
with 2 tuTnor which grew i'm the very base
OF the brain and Occasioned his death The
growth had n visible effect upon his brain,
and the case became a curiosity 10 she
medical profession. The tumor vas IN
bedded too deeply into the brain tissue to
admit Of an operation. II was found that
the tumor was nearly as large as a billiard
ball il was so located a. to demoralize
the nerves of the sight center. and. as a
consequence. young Bly, was blind for over
three years.
1t was developed at tho autopsy that the
entire brain had been followed ont by the
action of the tumor. The cavity was AZ
least five inches in length and was filed
with pus. All that was left Of the brain
was a thin shell. composed Of the tougher
tissues. which were less susceptible TO ths
process of decay. When iacisi91 VAS
made in the shell the whole mass collapsed.
The circumstance which made the case
almost unprecedented in the annals of
medical science was the manner IN which
the patient retained his nationality and
faculties under the circumstance lie had
the senses of touch taste. hearing and
smell. had very tOlerablc control Of his
lOcomotor muscles could talk. and, in fact,
was comparatively disconnected in 10
other way than by the loss of vision. His TO-
tention of memory was remarkable lie
was able to memOriZe poems up 10 within
two weeks of his death.

One night at about II o'clock I found
Mr. Tesla in the cafe. seated at his usual
table. looking tired and haggard. lie
greeted me with the kindly smile aud
strong grasp of the hand that are natural
to him. but | saw by the pallor of his face
and the troubled look in his dark eyes
that something had gone wrong.

nfe pleasant companion tonight. The
fact is ] was almost killed today"
This he said in quite a matter-of-fact
tone, which did not prevent me from show
ing the concern / felt.

Is no joke however small the volume
A great difficulty, and at the same time
delight. in talking with Tesla, Is the
utter inability one feels to understand
what he is saying. or lift ones self to the
plane on which he is thinking. What
ordinary person could grapple with the idea
of three and a half million volts or the
electrical contrivances necessary to pro-
duce it! I knew perfectly well that 10000

They were all married, according 20 the
custom OF the country. at the early age or
sixteen or seventeen. which, he thinks,
great mistake.

''about that in Americe. When girls marry
at such an early age they are old women

FRANK MAYO,

EFT" expired through the operation Of
the statute Of limitations enacted by
the popular taste Mr.. Mayo found 1t ex-
ceedingly difficult to gain the attention
of the tickle public in anything else.
Accustomed to seeing him in the buck
skin coat of hunter, nothing else
seemed just right. and thus 1t hap
pened that from 1884, when "Davy
Crockett was put aside, until within a
recent period, his fortunes waned.
During that interval he wrote a play,
'Nordeck,' in collaboration with John
G. Wilson, and appeared in the chief
role with artistic but not financial sue
cess. He also appeared as a member
OF various combinations and stock
companies. but failed to regain his old
position before the public until little
more than a Far ago. when he hit up
on "Pudd'n head Wilson,"
AS an actor Mr. Mayo was sincere
and sympathetic. He believed in
straightforward methods, and was des-
titute of mannerisms or Alterations.
His beautiful daughter, Eleanor. was
seen last year in Princess Bonnie"
but her stage career was cut short by
marriage. James Elverson, Jr., of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, became her hus-
band year ago last April, when she
permanently retired from the stage.
Frank Mayo was beloved by every
one in the profession and l do not
think any man in 1t had warmer
friends than he. He played his first
engagement in Chicago in 1869. His
death takes away one of our foremost
actors. 1t seems that all the old ones
are going, and the new ones do not
seem to fill their places. Frank MAYO
was prince-not only as a man. but
as an actor.
