Scenes at the Mine.

AS the night grew blacker the scene
at the shaft became more sorrowful-
The rain came down in pittiless tor
rents and each moment the air was
more chill. Back of the fateful pit rose
a solid mass of mountainous darkness.
In front, but far across the railroad
tracks, were the Pickering lights OF the
homes of the miners. At one side OF the
mouth of the shaft some huge Jumps

MATTER OF EXPENSE,
Trial and Execution of John Berry

UPPER MARLBORO Md, June H.
The execution of John Berry yesterday

an attraction. Yesterday afternoon the

nickels enough to pay his board.
Berrys execution was the first that has

Quoted, Some complaint was made be-
cause of the expense incurred by the county
In the arrest, trial and execution of the
murderer. 1t was stated that the case cost
the county about $780, The removal of the
prisoner to Baltimore for safe-keeping and
the securing of change of venue made
the proceedings much more expensive than
they would otherwise have been.
Had it not been for the threats Of lynch
ing, 1t is declared. there would have been
no necessity for Berry's removal, and the
expense account would have been kept
down. 1t was therefore argued by some of
the citizens that the people had only them
selves to blame in the matter.

DINNER TO- MARK TWAIN
Noted Humorist Guest Of White Friars
Club.
Many Distinguished Literary People
of EngIand's Friendshfp.

A dispatch from London says: The dinner
which the White Friars Club gave Mark
Twain last evening, at the Hotel Cecil, was
a remarkable tribute to the author. and at
the same time to the friendly relations ex-
| listing between Great Britain and the United
States.
Each Of the speakers, among whom were
| the Very Rev. s. Reynolds Hole, United
States Senator-elect Chauncey M. Depew
and Mr.. Poulteney Bigelow, dwelt upon this
theme. Mr.. Bigelow presided, with the
guest of the evening on his left, and Mrs.
Clemens on his right. The company in
cluded Max O'Rell On. Paul BloueD, Mr..
Robert Barr, the Misses Clemens, Mr.. and
Mrs. Gilbert Parker, Mr.. T. P. O'Connor,
member of paliament; Sarah Grand, Mrs.
Frank Leslie, Miss Beatrice Harraden and
200 other representatives Of literary Lon
don.
Mr.. Louis Frederic Austin, in proposing
Mark Twain's health, said:
What most appeals to men and women
in his own calling, and what will ever
cause his name to be associated with Sir
Walter SCOTS in similar circumstances, is
his noble courage in misfortune, the high
honor which accepted the penalty of dis
aster, and the undaunted toll that now
enables him again to lift the colors of VIC
tory"
Inc reply Of Mr.. Clemens, who was re-
ceived on rising with prolonged cheers, was
in his happiest vein, causing much laugh
Dr. Depew, after some light bantering
and tribute to Mark Twain, struck a
serious note, which received hearty indorse-
ment Abiding to the change of sentiment
in America, produced by Great Britain s
attitude and action during the Spanish
American war, he said:
When Captain Coghlan Of the Raleigh
returned from Manila he told US about the
attitude of Admiral Won Diedrichs and Sir
Edward Chichester of the Immortalite; and
he told us-what all in our hearts al
ready knew-that the European powers,
save England, sympathized with our enc
mics, and that it was only their knowledge
that England would support us morally,
and actively If necessary, which prevented
their interference lapplause); and it was
this knowledge which made it possible for
OF 20OO people in America the other day,
to take the stars and stripes in one hand
and the Union jack in the other and not to
hear one dissenting voice in that vast au-
dience."
A fitting climax was given at this point
when Sir Edward Chichester, who had been
prevented by another engagement from
coming earlier, entered the room and was
greeted with three cheers. Sir Edward
Chichester expressed his admiration for Ad-
miral Dewey and his officers and for the
American sailors generally. He said:
Il was very glad to be at Manila and
the visit increased my respect for the Amer
lean character After ALL blood is thicker
than water; but l must not go on, for
friend of mine, Captain Coghlan. got into
trouble through talking the other day"
daughter and cheers.)
From this stage of the proceedings Mark
Twain and Captain Chichester shared the
honors of the evening, everybody desiring
to shake hands with both.

tentious presentation the success that il
was The performance of the classic old
comedy was smooth throughout While
some Of those concerned We're better than
others, the cast as a whole was very well
balanced, and there was a minimum OF
amateurishness about the acting that made
the play enjoyable and entertaining. The
amateurs OF the capital city have unlimited
ambition, as evidenced in the recent pro-

by Washington's young men and women

temper, but they have not been
educated up to the point of a
reasonable performance of
their religious duties. And
it is idle to talk about arousing
them to a just performance of
their duties to their church
and State until education is
more generally diffused among
them.
Education is the magic KEY
that unlocks the door to every
avenue of progress in thought
and action. BY this, the
writer does not mean a college
education necessarily, but
simply enough education, no
matter where obtained, to
make us conscious of the
faculties God has given us and
to know how to use them. To
this end a great awakening
among the masses is urgently
needed. The apathy for edu-
cation among them is aston
ishing, We like to close our
eyes to this fact, but there is
nothing to be gained by so
doing. Better face the stu
alton as it is. Two years ago
this summer every township
in the State voted on the ques-
tion of local taxation for
schools. Very few townships
in the State voted the tax, and
none in this section of the
State. Many would not have
done SO, had the question of
taxation been entirely elimi-
mated and the schools been
absolutely free. This apathy
for education must in some
way be removed. To do
successful mission work the
basis must be laid in general
education. Any plan of mis-
sions that ignores education
will fail of the best results.
If we would build up the
churches generallyin Western
North Carolina and vitalize
and stimulate our denomina-
tional work, we must see to it
that a first class school be
maintained in every commun-
ity that can support it,.
