A LIFE CRUSHED OUT.
Sad Fate of California Man Travel
ing Eastward.

Last Thursday man named P. B.
Derby was killed in wreck on the
Northern Pacific at DrummOnd. 1t
seems that the freight train going east
parted just before arriving in that
town and the engine was run up to the
water tank. The rear division came
crashing up against the fore part of the
train and caused wreck, jamming
several cars loaded with lumber in "a
heap. Derby was on one Of the cars
and was crushed. The ends of the
lumber broke one ankle and mutilated
him about the face and abdomen terri
bly,. The coroner's jury rendered a
verdict as above. Derby, Judging from
papers found in his possession, was a
mechanic and resided at 71S Mission
street, San Francisco. Withdrawal
cards from two mechanics associations
were found on his person. A telegram
was received from his relatives re-
questing that he be buried here at a
cost not exceeding 1925. Mr.. Allison
found $50 pinned in small purse in
his drawers just inside one shoe. The
unfortunate man was buried from AL
lison & Sherman's undertaking rooms,
w. G. Bradshaw, G. H. Coy, A. A.
Fairbairn, e. G. Harrington, Finley
Mcdonald and julius Hanson acting
as pallbearers.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
Two Men Injured By Blast at
Combination.

50,
Last Friday night at about 9 o'clock
two miners whose names are l.. l..
Moore and John Martin were injured
ia the Combination mine by the un-
expected explosion of a blast. 1t seems
that two of three holes that had been
loaded had gone off and part Of the
third. The men We're running ma
chine and drilled into the unexploded
powder with the result stated above.
Moore was badly injured and may lose
the sight in one of his eyes. The shat
tered rock completely riddled him.
The explosion struck Moore squarely in
the face, chest and body and made
him almost one solid mass of rock. No
bones were broken, however, except
in one of his fingers. He is doing
nicely and will be around again i'll a
couple of weeks, as there are no neces-
sarily fatal wounds upon his person.
Martin did not sustain any serious in

the question of free coinage has ever
been and is now above party. The ac-
tion of the Chicago convention has
made a victory for the cause possible.
but no sane man will assert that this
can be accomplished without the aid
of republican and populist votes The
one object is to unity, not to separate
these votes. We do not mean to say
that the slurs of the Butte paper could
have any effect upon the gentlemen at
whom they are directly aimed. but we
do mean to say that there are many
republicans who are thin-sklnned
enough TO make these attacks an excuse
for refusing to fuse on an electoral
ticket or even to vote for Bryan and
Sewall electors. The plea set up that
man cannot be republican or Il
populist and vote for Bryan is prepos-
ferrous. The eminent array OF men
who were at the Chicago convention
from the eastern states, and who refuse
TO vote for Bryan, insist very vehem-
emily that they are democrats, and it
is certain that the Miner cannot read
them out of the party any more than
it can force the republican silver men
into it.
The cause for this outbreak on the
part of the Miner is the approaching
contest for state and county officers. 1t
seems possessed of an idea that If 1t
can aid in creating split in the re-
publican ranks the democrats will
profit by it, This is the acme of sell
fishness and shows that the loud pro-
fessions of the Miner that it was ready
to subordinate all else to the cause of
free coinage were only bubbles, and
that it has been travelling under false
pretenseS.
We still insist that every voter Of
every party is needed in and is well
come to the silver ranks, 50 far as the
national ticket is concerned, and, re-
garding state and county officers, they
can take care of themselves, as they
have always done. We are under no
obligations to support a republican or
populist for state or county office be-
cause he votes for Bryan, nor is there
any reason under the sun why they
! should support a democrat for home
office because that party happened to
be the first to name Mr. Bryan for
president on free coinage platform.
| The Miner has nothing to gain either
! for itself or its cause, by the course it
is pursuing, and it should cease its
efforts to belittle those who are its
equals in honesty. earnestness, and
ability in advocating free coinage.

republicans who will support Bryan

publicans, that they should have no
place in the party councils, and must
of necessity tag themselves on to the
democratic party. In doing this it

POLLS Wonderland Theater.

Election week finds a very attractive
and entertaining bill at Polls Wonder
land theater, Special arrangements
have been made also for election eve
ming, an operator being stationed in
the theater to take returns from the
voting centers from a special wire. The
news thus received win be announced
between each speciality, thus bringing
the announcements at intervals not eX-
ceeding fifteen minutes. The perform
ance will continue until after midnight,
so that, unless the election should be
very close one, all who attend will
be able to know the final outcome in
New Haven, Connecticut and the Unit
ed States before they go to bed, Among
the attractions provided for the week
the cinematograph will undoubtedly
be one of the most welcome, as an en-
tire new set of views has been secured
for the weeks display. The instrument
will be shown in the afternoon at 8

They are not forgetting their charities
either. Plans for innumerable sewing
classes are well under way.
There is no end of dancing at the
different country clubs-Essex County,
Meadowbrook, Westchester, Tuxedo,
Morris-in fact the girls have almost
as many invitations to dance now as
they have in the season. They love to
go to the golf and hunt balls given at
the out-of-town clubs. There is the
same sort of fascination about them
that the balls at West Point have. The
charm lies not in the red coats and
brass buttons, though.
Last week a party of young people
got up a jolly dance at a country club
in the neighborhood of New York;
there were no ride coats there that night
there We're no red coats Their that night,
but plenty of black ones. They all went
out from town on a coach on Friday
afternoon. After a delightful dinner
they spent the evening playing billiards
Next morning, directly after breakfast,
a walking party was arranged to gather
autumn leaves to decorate the rooms
for the dance to take place in the even
ing. Such hunting for ladders and balls
of Irvine, tacks and hammers! The
whole of the back Of the big fireplace
was transformed into a bower of bright
yellow and redf the mantel-piece was
banked with them. Wreaths were made
and hung across from windows to
doors. One of the girls took out a lot
of Japanese lanterns, and another rolls
of yellow crepe-paper, and their clever
fingers soon made the room look most
attractive. The gas globes and lamps
We're shaded with the paper, and the
effect though perhaps not so becoming
as pink would have been, was wonder
fully pretty to the eye. There was much
morning before the lights were put
out-Harpers Bazaar.

ABUSES OF THE KINDERGARTEN

ABUSES OF THE KINDERGARTEN.
AS a psychologist, interested in the
development of the child, it's senses and
movements, | wish to urge that scien-
tiflc education begin with the kinder
garten, There are but few things more
pathetic than the ignorant zeal of the
average kindergarten teacher. ] have
recently examined the catalogue Of kim
dergarten supplies offered by the Mil
ton Bradley Co., and find 1t simply
abominable. Nearly everything seems
especially devised to injure the eyesight
and the nervous system of the child.
The young child should be taught to
concentrate the attention, to observe
accurately and to make easily move
ments not requiring nice adjustments.
The best thing he can do is to learn to
classify things by their resemblances,
to watch plants grow, to take care of
animals, to learn the geography of the
school-house to use tools, to weigh and
measure on large scale. These are
the beginnings of science and are the
best subjects for the kindergarten.
We begin to ruin the eyesight of chill
dren in the kindergarten and continue
to prosecute them until the end of the
college course. Some time since i
wished to find an edition of Homer for
my own use, and after examining about
twenty editions could not find one that
regarded as properly printed. If chill
dren are legally forced to attend the
public schools, and their eyesight is in
I jured by long sessions, badly printed
books and badly lighted and ventilated
rooms, could they not bring suit for
damages against the state or district
that has forcibly injured them? My
own progressive myopia and aocompa-
nying headaches We're caused by pri-
waite schools, and'I have no redress; but
IL some philosophical man of science
would bring suit against the proper
body, the result, whether damages were
allowed or not, wouldsbe most useful.
What we need is a scientific study of
the conditions of fatigue in reading,
and a step in this direction is made by
a research from the psychological labo-
| ratory of Columbia University by DR.
Griffing and Mr.. Franz published in the
| September number of the Psychological
Review. Starting, from a research of
my own on the legibiiity of the letters
used in printing, the authors investi-
gate the size and style Of type the col

Hyperion.

Mark Twain's "Pudd'nhead Wilson"
night. Said John Fl. Martin, who is
here preparing for the coming of this
popular attraction: Never was the old
saying more truthfully illustrated, A
rose by any other name would smell as
sweet, than it is in this play, made of
Mark Twain's Missouri story. After
you have seen the misunderstood old
Missouri philosopher, Dave Wilson, who
is by his neighbors good naturally call
ed a puddnhead;' after you have seen
this pathetically patient and wittily-
wise old village lawyer unravel the
mystery of the murder and demonstrate
to his neighbors that what they have
thought for years were the dreams of a
visionary were cold hard facts-when
you see him win the respect of those
whose affection he already possessed,
and you look back over the play and
think over how it all occurred, no other
name than the one the play now bears
will suggest itself to you"
The play has met with most remark
able favor from the public, and large
house should be present tonight. Sale
of seats now open.
ELECTION RETURNS.
Election returns will be read from
the stage tomorrow night, both at
the Grand opera house and the Hy-
perion theater, Mr. Bunnell having
made arrangements to receive them by

Manager Bunnell of the Hyperion is
to be congratulated upon securing for
the attraction tomorrow and Wednes-
day evenings that remarkable new play
by Denman Thompson and George w.
Ryer, entitled 1.-THE Sunshine of Para
disc Alley" 1t proved such an innova-
ton among contributions to the stage
when presented in New York last
spring that it took week of perform
ances for the public to realize that
these authors had given them another
play in some respects as remarkable as
1.-THE Old Homestead" Whereas "The
Old Homestead" dealt particularly with
country life, this new piece deals par
ticularly with certain phases of city
life a very strong company of actors
and singers will appear. Seats now on
sale.
During his recent prolonged and
highly successful engagement in New
York, it was the consensus of the crit
ical opinion that, in Marty Malone
Edward Harrigan who will appear al
the Hyperion theater on Thursday eve-
ming, has a play that Is likely to sur
pass in wide spread popularity any
thing that has emanated from his pen
since the days of the "Mulligan
Guards" 1t has all the hilarious vi
vacity all the buoyancy, all the humol

Shannon of the Sixth" 1t is full of
strong dramatic situations and tells of
brave deeds by brave men. Scenically
Shannon of the Sixth" has much to
recommend it. The stage sets are the
work of the celebrated artists, Howard
Tuttle and Charles Heineman, and are
of the most elaborate nature. The first
act shows the interior of a bungalow
near Delhi and is made from drawings
brought from India. Act second is a
gloomy ravine in the hills, and presents
a weird, forbiddfng landscape that has
never been surpassed on the stage. Act
third is the exact opposite to this. 1t
shows a swamp in the jungle and is
one blaze of gorgeous color. Sale of
seats now open.
UNUSUAL FARCE COMEDY.
An extraordinary production of farce
comedy is announced for the Grand
Opera house Thursday Friday and Sat
urday of this week. "A Night at the
Circus has been winning more than
ordinary favor on account of the mag
nitude and strength of the company
and the gorgeousness of its stage set
tings. 1t is one of the brightest efforts
of H. Grattan Donnelly, the author of
Natural Cas- and other successes.
Despite the fact that it is pure farce
comedy, it tells a story that boasts of
sequence and interest. The company
numbers thirty people, something I'M
usual for a farce-comedy and is headed
by dainty, clever and sprightly Fanny
Bloodgood, and includes Paula Ed
wardes, Ann Warrington, Leary sis
