tertained at a tea given by Mrs. John NJ
Cunningham at her beautiful home on Pa
cifc avenue Saturday afternoon but So

because the great pianist would not cut
rates.
Mrs. Cunningham, a daughter Of the Ia Il
millionaire, Nicholas Luning is a gracious
hostess, and, desiring to give an attract
i've entertainment to the guests who
thronged her mansion, sought to engage
Paderewski to play during the afternoon
A note was written asking what Paderew-
ski would charge to play for five minutes
at tea.
Mr. Gorlitz, who attends to financial
matters for the pianist. answered in writ
ing announcing Paderekski's charge as
$500. Mr.. Cunningham thought the sum
extremely large, but as she was not dis
posed readily to yield to her desire to have
the pianist play at her tea, she wrote an
other note. offering $1,000 for five minutes
of Paderwskis music during her reception
THAT note was not even answered. u
said Mr.. Gorlltz. who told of the cores
pondence between Mrs. Cunningham and
himself. "As soon as I read 1t said to the
boy There is no answer The correspond
ence ended, but l have kept the letters !

FIFTY MEN BURNED.
Earth Rent BY Terrific Gas Explosion in
Colorado.

Newcastle, Col, Feb. 1s-The Vulcan
coal mine, located just below here, was
completely wrecked and set on fire by a
terrific gas explosion shortly after II
o'clock to-day. About 90 men, including
firemen and coal operators, were in the
several rooms along the slope when the
explosion occurred and so great was the
detonation that not a single man could
have survived the shock, to say nothing
of the gas or the fire which Immediately
ensued
With the exception of few bosses, the
killed are Italians, but in the confusion
and excitement 1t Is impossible at this
time to obtain a complete list of names of
the unfortunates.
The town of Newcastle was shaken as IL
by an earthquake by the explosion and d
dense black cloud obscured the site of the
Vulcan mine and workings, indicating
plainly what had occurred The entire
population rushed to the scene to behold
the surface workmen, in the midst of a
thick cloud of dust trying to start the
work of resclnng their unfortunate fell
low laborers within the mine.
The earth has settled perceptibly near
the hillside, and the black smoke issuing
from crevices in the earth gave evidence
that the coal vein had been set on fire by
the explosion. Women and children rush
ed shrieking to the scene, adding to the
confusion.
The mine owned by the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company, two and half mixes
away, was promptly closed down and all
hands FASTENED to assist superintendent
Herrick of the Vulcan in the work of res
cue, but 1t was quickly seen that little
could be done. Herrick. with several men,
had torn away the broken tmbering at
the landing and rushed into the slope soon
after the explosion; only to be driven back
again by the deadly fumes. A special train
was sent to the mine by the Colorado Mid
land Railway company with medical aid,
prepared to assist In caring for the wound
ed II any were rescued, but night came on
before an opening could be made
The force of the explosion was tremen
dous. The building and treste at the
mouth of the slope were completely wreck
ed, hole 100 feet square was carved out
of the hill side at the mouth of the in
cline while tmbers two feet square were
blown into the Grand river. 400 feet away.
One miner was on his way down tho
slope when the explosion occurred and
his mangled remains were subsequently
found several hundred feet away from tho
mouth of the slope. There were 40 men
employed in and about the mine at the
time and about 80 were at work under the
ground this morning.

IN HUB MARKETS.
UTTER MARKET HAS GAINED CON.
SIDERABLE STRENGTH.

Improvement In Cheese-Downward
Turn In Eggs-Low Prices For Potatoes.
Live Stock Quotations.
BOSTON, Fob. 19.-The butter market
ls gained strength In all sections this
bek. The west has advanced / cent,
ew York is up 4 cent, and Boston is
lily as strong as it was q week ago, II
bt stronger. Prices here having been
lAtively higher on fine grades than other
aces, are not advanced but sales at
ltsde quotations can be more easily
nde.
Receipts this week from Vermont and
bw Hampshire creamerics show little
rger proportion of new milk butter, and
nsequently the quality is better, but the
mand Is fully equal to the supply, and
ceivers find no trouble in selling all the
Ugh grade they can get at outside QUOTA
bns
Western invoices are also showing some
hprovement in quality, and where the
litter is put up in assorted sized packages
table for this market some advance on
gular quotations can be obtained
So far as can now be seen, the butter
arket is in fairly healthy condition.
eccipts are being used up, stocks are de-
easing, and prices are just about right
insure good consumption.
Cheese.
There is nothing in the cheese market
at indicates any improvement in de-
and or price. Small lots of fall-made
ntinue to be held at 10 to IL cents, in
hiding large sizes and twins, and 1t
build be difficult to flnd buyer for a
und lot at over 1917 cents.
It was rumored that one or two large
'lders were anxious to sell at conces-
bns, but no sales were reported, except
me summer made lots at a low price.
Eggs
The egg market has taken another
Swnward turn, and IA cents was an out
lie price for fresh western. Some receiv-
3 quoted at 1877 cents, which is re.
.arkably low figure for fresh eggs in
bruary, and has not been equaed for
|nny years.
Other Produce.
Tho bean trade continues light, and
fge lots are hard to sell at any reason
