TERRIFIC EXPLOSION
Igniting Coal Dust After a Blast
Wrecks An Indian Territory
Coal Mine.
2S DEAD AND BURIED ALIVE
As the Subways Are Torn Asunder There
Is Little Expectation of Rescuing
the Entombed Miners The
Mine on Fire.

Poteau, I. t., Dec. 13-At o'clock
last night, in mine No 2, of the Indian
ola and Railway Coal Company three
miles from this place, a terrific eXplo-
sion took place. Five men are known to
have lost their lives, and about 90 more
are buried alive
The explosion was caused by coal dust
igniting aftei >. Dlast. The timber work
of the hoist was bluwn lar into the air
and the shattered remains Immediately
caught fire. Over 100 men were in the
mine at the time of the explosion, and
only about half have been accounted
for Those who escaped were employed
in another part of the mine. There
seems to be little hope of rescuing the
entombed miners as the explosion liter
ally rent the subways asunder, and
there are hundreds of tons of earth to
be taken away before they can be
reached. One hundred men are working
valantly to rescue their comrades.
They are driven away at times by the
intense heat. So it is probable the inte-
rior of the mine also is burning. 1t is
impossible to ascertain the names of
those who have been killed and are bur-
led in the mine.
NOT so BAD AFTER ALL.
st. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 13.--A late special
from Fort Smith says that only two
men We're killed in the Witle-
vile coal mines near Po-
teau, I. T., last night. 1t is be-
lieved they were the only men in the
mine They were shot firers breaking
coal for the next days work. The mouth
of the mine is blocked by the fall of rock
loosened by the blast.

sehepeniaaner on Women.

Schapenhauer's mother, Joanna, was
a singular with whom he was
perpetually at war. She was lively, he
was grim. She was a s~entimentalist, no
detcsted sentiment. She was devoted to
society, to gossip, to the convenances Of
life. He lived for ideas. and with an al
most savage moroseness poured scorn on
the round Of "at homes and aesthetic
tea parties. Both We're selfish and quar-
relsome. We may judge, therefore, that
Schopenhauer took his notions of wom-
en- partly from his mother. 1t goes with
out saying that these notions were vio-
lent in the extreme, yet not without
some aspects Of truth.
The new woman would rave at this
satire on her p%retensions, and yet it
would do her good to read what Scho-
penhauer has to say with as much calm
ness as she can command. Woman is
here depicted as emphatically "a lesser
man'-indsed go far below man as to
be fit only for the role Of the old fash
Toned German hausfrau. Self Culture.

There IL doubt in some mans mind
very often a. to when he should make
known 20 his people the girl he hopes
20 marry. In sone cases he prefers that
they should become acquainted before
the die is cast and he has bound him
self to her for better, for worse, By Q
promise. At other times he has Z Ger
tain difidence about introducing them
70 each other till they know In what po-
sition she is to stand toward himself.
and the result is that he is q little be-
wildered. Perhaps in many ways it is
more comfortable for q girl to know his
people before she is presented TO them
rs q future relative. But circumstances
often render this out of the question,
and then there is only n correct form
of proceeding.
Where his people and hers live in the
same place his family must call upon
her as soon as they are informed of the
engagement. If they live at a distance,
they should at once write, welcoming
her as q future relative, and 1t ls usual
where possible to invite her to stay with
them and make their acquaintance.
