Need OF Funds.
The annual report Of the Society Of the Lying
in. Hospital for the year ending on Oct. /, which
has just been issued, contains the most compre-
hensive statement of the scope of the society's
work and its needs for proper development that
has yet been put forth. An appeal Is made for
contributions, the report undertaking to show
that not only as q charity but as an educational
institution the work carried on Is Of the greatest
Importance. The society Is at present hampered
in its desire for an enlargement Of its field by q
lack of funds. and the report calla special atten-
ton to the offer of J. Pierpont Morgan to erect
q 81, 000, 900 hospital II q fund can be raised
from other sources which will serve as an on
dowment. The report contains plans in detail
of the proposed building and lays great stress on
the necessity for such an institution.
1t Is pointed out that only thirteen of the
city's hospitals now receive maternity cases, q
total of 600 beds being afforded for this purpose.
Such q number. 1t is asserted. is lamentably out
Of proportion to the needs OF the city. Atten-
ton Is also called to The fact hat buttwo Of

SILVER SHELTERS MAY COMBINE

or Their Output.
Representatives of the leading silver smelling
and refining interests Of the country will confer
in this city this week on plans for the betterment
of the silver industry. 1t has been suggested
that a domination be formed with the view of
controlling the price and endeavoring to do
away with the cratic changes that the market
for silver has exhibited in recent months. The
silver smelters are accustomed TO buy the silver
ore from the mines and to sell ahead for future
delivery tho silver in the ore. A circumstance
that has been particularly CALLING TO them is that
owing TO the erratic course OF silver the prices
obtainable for futures have ruled materially
lower than current spot quotations.. Another
suggestion that has been made IL for the estab-
lishment of a Joint selling agency for the yari-
ous companies. 1t Is understood that no
definite proposition for a combination has yet
been made, the whole matter being in a pre-
liminary stage.

Two portraits OF MISS mario CorelN are on eX-
hibition in two London galleries tprice of adj
mission. one shillingl. and the fact has called
forth unkind remarks in certain public prints
not about tho pictures, but about the subject.
1t is the first tina that the counterfeit features
of the novelist have been exposed to public
gaze, and it seems to DO a cause of offence to
some persons that these features. as represented
on canvas, are on the whole comely. There
have been envious insinuatlons made which
suggest that the artists have not been true to
pature-as personihed by Miss Corelli. Others
have been cruel enough to accuse Miss Corelli
of Q lf.advsrtising. To those who know Miss
Corelli's shrinking shyness and modesty this
charge is simply absurd. Nobody. thank for
tune, has been so brutal as to couple hor name
with Hall Gaines In this respect, but there 10 no
knowing to what lengths her critics might have
gone IL she had not summoned UP courage to ad-
dress to them a gentle rebuke. which, In its APP
peal to their better natures. may have the effect
of shaming them into silence
Some might infer from Mas Corelli's note,
which hIls nearly q column in the Daily Mail,
that she was angry. Her anger. 1t may safely
be said, is only simulated. The Daily Mail,
through its correspondence columns. had been

Miss Corelli holds nothing back. She takes the
public into her full confidence and tells why she.

FIRE IN A COLORADO MINE.
Puts the Lives of Fifty Men in Peril-May
Result In Enormous Loss.


Denver. Nov. ia special to The
Republican from Aspen, Colo, says: A
fire that bids fair promise of closing
down every big mine in the camp is
raging in the eighth level Of the Snug
Eler mine. The cause of the catastrophe
Is supposed to be spontaneous COM
buStion, although there are few who
are inclined to the theory that a care
less miner and candle are responsible.
So far the fire is confined to a large
crib and is burning 1T point about 500
feet below the surface. This crib is
eighty feet wide, 164 feet long and 800
feet high. 1t contains many thousands
or cords of dry timber. So far as known
these timbers have not broken into a
blaze. but the sUpposition is that the
entire base of the crib is burning. All
efforts to reach the fire have proved
unsuccessful, and an attempt to place
bulkheads In the connection came near
losing the lives Of some fifty men, Over
forty Of those were so overcome By the
deadly gas that for time their lives
were despaired OF.
1t may turn out that the mine will
have to be flooded. in which case it will
flood every mine in the camp.

Determined Outlavs

No sooner had he opened the door
than the mob crowded into the cor
ridors. AL Of the men were masked and
the leaders carried ropes. Kelley at
once realized that the mob had come
after his prisoners. The lynchers were
quiet, but determined. The leaders pre-
sented a revolver at the head of the
deputy sheriff and told him they
wanted his prisoners. and demanded
that he open the cells which they were
confined in. Kelley demurred, but saw
that resistance was useless and un-
locked the cells. Two Of the prisoners
were confined in one cen and the other
in q separate cell. They had bean
aroused from sleep by the entrance o.:
the men and sat UP, half awake and
trembling with terror.
Holytrsck and ireland were dragged
from their beds. ropes were fastened
about their necks and they were dragged

that he was asked before he was hanged
