Seven Men Killed and Six Others Seriously
 Injured.
 NIEHART, Mont, April 20.-An ex- plosion occurred in the Broadwater mine by which seven men lost their lives and six others were seriously hurt, The accident occurred in the magazine used for thawing powder. Frank Doran was looking after the powder and had just commenced load ing the magazine when the explosion occurred. It is supposed that his can dle must have ignited some powder. He was found 20 feet from the mag azine in another drift, and must have seen the danger and tried to escape. The men had just finished eating their midnight lunch and were on their way back to work. Thirty of them had to pass the magazine, and it exploded as about half were past. Those in the center are the dead and seriously wounded. The mine is badly caved in.

FISHERMEN DROWNED.
. schooner Overturned and Nine Livcs
 Are Lost

"A
 Are Lost.
 NEW BEDFORD, Mass, April 20-Nine Gloucester fishermen were lost of Long Island on Friday night when the fishing schooner J. w. Campbell of Gloucester was sunk in squall The seven survivors arrived here last night to tell the story. They were brought into port by the Gladiator from the schooner Norman, which picked them up after they had spent an entire night and cay in an open boat without food. The sinking of the Campbell was re- marltable in several respects. The fatal sQuall was one of the most sud- den and terrific in the memory of the surviving seamen. When it struck her the vessel careened under the terrible blow, and all realized that their lives ors quickly clambored up the masts. No sooner had they done so than a second and more powerful gust of wind seized the craft and seemed to lift it bodily out of the sea. Then, as if in mighty grasp, the vessel was wrenched and given a sudden twist with such violence that the masts snapped off even with the deck like toothpicks, and they were hurled far away from the reach of the vortex made as the ship fell back into the water and sunk like a piece of lead. After the squall had subsided, the moon came out, and by its light the seven survivors who still chung to the masts in spite of the awful shock of being thrown through the air and striking the water as they did, were able to find dory, in which they climbed, after bailing it out All night and all the next day they drifted helplessly about the sound without food or water. Then they were picked up by the schooner Normal and later were transferred to the tug Gladiator, which brought them to this port.

A PASSION FOR ATHLETICS.
Ae Infected All Glasses Among the Ancient
 Greeks.

It Infected All Glasses Among the Ancient Greeks.
 How many such pilgrims there were Is, of course, difficult to estimate. The seats of the stadium would have pro- vided for some 40, GOO, and, though only men were admitted, it was often diff cult to find place. It was natural that so large and varied an assein blaze should have furnished some of the features of great fair or exposition. Merchants found ready sale for their wares, and there were side-shows for the amusement and instruction of the people. Poets recited their latest pro- ductions, historians read their chtoni. cles, and philosophers discoursed upon nature and the unseen world. Such gathering could not but have power full effect in strengthening the unity Of people scattered far and wide over the ancient world. Here they wor- shipped common divinity, and recog- nized in one another members of the same race.
 But the chief, absorbing interest of the festival centered in the athletic games. Lucian, in his "Anacharsis," we'll expresses the passion of these contests. The Scythian Anacharsis expresses his surprise that the best people of Greece could divert them- selves in seeing men batter each other with blows, and throw each other to the ground, and even kill each other. To which Solon replies: 'Were we present at the Olympic, Isthmian, or Panathenaic games, you would see in what took place that we are not wrong in being so keen for these spectacles. l could not, on my honor, give you any idea of the pleasures of being seated in the midst of an enthusiastic audi ence and of seeing the bravery of the athletes, the beauty of their bodies, their admirable poses, their marvellous agility, their indefatigable force, their daring, their rivalry, their invincible courage, their incessant efforts for victory. I am sure that you would shout and applaud, and not cease to shower them with praise. "-Prof. Allan Marquand, in Century.
