dered decision that will be of interest

ex-Congressman Thompson, contended
that the delegates must be selected ac-

MINERS ENTOMBED.
An Explosion Occurs at the Vulcan
Mine in Colorado.
OVER FIFTY LIVES PROBABLY LOST.
a Scene of Wild Confusion at the Mine,
Women and Children Rushing Wild
ly About In Their Anguish-An
business Suspended.

GLENWooD SPRINGS, Col, Feb. 49,
A gas explosion occurred in the Vulcan
mine at Newcastle, just before IL
O'Clock yesterday, when there were
between so and 60 men at work. At
the shaft mouth hole 100 feet square
was blown out. Ed Welch, who was
at the mouth of the tunnel when the
explosion took place, was blown to
atoms. Tim bers two feet square were
blown into the Grand river, 400 feet
away. 1t is almost certain that all the
men in the mine persisted.
Smoke rushed from the shaft in
dense black clouds, which prevented
the entrance of anyone. The fans
were the only means of supplying air
to the workmen, and as these were COM
pletely demolished, the last hope of
anyone being found alive was cut off.
The scene at the mine was one of the
widest confusion. Wives and children
of the victims rushed wildly to and
fro, tearing their hair and rending the
air in the deep anguish which such a
calamity brings.
All business is practically suspended;
everyone is dazed at the awfulness of
the sudden disaster. No warning was
3
sudden report, as from hundred can
non, resounded throughout the valley,
making the earth trem BILE. People
rushed out of homes and places of
business to see what had happened,
and one look toward the Vulcan was
sufficient, for dense cloud of smoke
issuing from the mouth of the slope
met the eyes of the gazers and told the
tale of death.
The cause Of the explosion is not yet
known. The coal fields in which the
Vulcan mine is located have been
trou bled with subterranean gases for
many years and it is thought that the
disaster may have been caused by the
breaking into an immense pocket of
gas. On February s State Coal
Mine Inspector Gritfiths inspected the
mine and pronounced it in spendid
condition, and the work is said to have
been done at all times in the most
careful manner.
The Vulcan has always been fruit
full source of disquiet to the Canon City
Fuel Co. Despite it's bad reputation,
the company maintains that if only an
explosion occurred that was not fol
lowed by fire there were frequent
places in the tunnels and drifts for the
men to seek refuge. But the violent
surface disturbance does not tolerate
the belief that anyone is saved from
the wreck and miners have abandoned
hope.
The mine was running almost to its
full capacity, owing to the fuel war
that has been waged in the west, and
was shipping 10 to Is cars day.
Owing to the dangerous character of
the mine the miners were not allowed
to enter the slope with any matches in
their possession, but the rule was not
enforced, for, although death was i'm
minent for anyone venturing to strike
light, some of the more ignorant
miners could not be taught that their
lives depended on the observance of
the order and frequent infractions of
the rule were reported at headquar-

THE HEROIC SYMPHONY.
Tow Napoleon Ceased to he the Ideal o.
Beethoven.

Tow Napoleon Ceased to BE the Ideal OF
Beethoven.
work of art requires no explana-
non, but the very title Beethoven gave
the Heroic symphony provokes ques-
ton and there have been many en-
1eavors to explain it. Wagner tried
less to explain its meaning than to ex-
plain it away. Chained to his one
idea. he asserted that Beethoven's
hero was not a military hero but a
young man of complete spiritual and
physical endowment, who passed from
mere brute delight in life and his
strength through tragic suffering to a
high spiritual satisfaction in love;
that is to say, he asserted that Bee
thoven's hero was Parsifal or Siegfried.
Now, this much of Wagner's theory
is true, that Beethoven would not wor-
ship a mere human butchex any more
than he would worship pork butcher
as hero. On the other hand, Beetho-
ven's hero was undoubtedly military
hero, Napoleon Bonaparte. We know
that the symphony was originally ded-
icated to Napoleon. that the dedication
was altered when Napoleon las Bee
thoven thought turned traitor and be-
came emperor: we know that when the
news of his death came Beethoven cas-
ually remarked that he had already
composed the music for that event
Of what parts, then, of Napoleon's
career do the first and last two move
ments tell? These are questions which
can never be answered; and, mere GU
riosity apart, it SO happens that it mat
tiers little whether they are answered
Or not answered, SO long as they are
not answered altogether wrongly. For
whatever events Beethoven might at
any moment have in his mind he never
tried to depict them, but only to com.
municate the emotion they aroused.
He himself said as much. It is in the
expression of human emotion he is SUI
preme, and to feel Alright the emotions
of the Heroic symphony we need only
have our minds clear of a story which
Beethoven did not and could not have
had in his mind.-London Saturday

Decision I'm Favor of the De Long Hook
and Eye.

and Eye.
Judge Acheson, in the United States
Circuit Court at Pittsburgh, has just
rendered, in the case of Richardson &c
belong Brothers VS.. Campbell & Smith.
an important decision of great interest,
sustaining letters patent owned by
Richardson & De Long Brothers, which
were granted to Frank z. De Long for
a bumped hook and eye, and enjoining
the defendants from selling the Golden
Spring" hooks and eyes.
The hooks dealt in by the defendants
were manufactured by the Golden
Spring Hook and Eye Company, of
Springfield, Mass. In these hooks the
positions of the straight and curved
portions of the De Long loop were re-
vC1sed. The Court held that this did
not void infringement, and directed a
decree to be entered for the plaintiffs.
The case, which was a test one of
great Importance, was contested at
great length, and has been pending for
almost two years.
Messrs. Richardson & De Long Broth
ers were represented by Messrs. Straw

John G. johnson, of Philadelphia, and
Frederick P. Fish, of Boston, and the
defendants by Messrs. Allan Webster

Thirty years ago when the Salzers

of Americas greatest seed growers!
The production of rare vegetable sorts
and new farm seeds has long been s
great speciality with this company,
owning and operating many thousands
of acres Of land. Their great eight
hundred acre tria1 farm in South Da,
kota was visited by thousands inter
ested in higher farming, and all rail
roads gave half-fare rate within the
state to any wishing to see the farm.
The Salzers pay great attention to tbs
new grasses. clovers and fodder
plants, and their catalogue contains
the largest list of rare farm seeds
found in America.
A strong point of the John A. SalzeI
Seed Co. is that they keep large stocks
of everything in the seed line on hand,
so that a customer ordering of them
is always sure of getting what he or.

A slight idea of the magnitude of this

''In that country once known as the
Great American Desert embracing q

are no odors," said citizen of Dallas
to reporter. ttThere luscious grapes
and many other fruits grow, especially
near cross-timber country, but there
is no perfume; wild flowers have nc
smell and carcasses of dead animals,
which in dry seasons are very plentiful,
emit no odor. It was always supposed
to be a treeless plain, upon which no
plant could grow or breathing thing
could live. but large part of it is now
successfully cultivated, and but for
the rarity Of the atmosphere, causing
the popularity I have named, and the
mirages, which are even more perfect
than in the desert of Sahara, no one
would look upon it as barren country
now. Another singular feature com.
