A LudicrOus Blunder

In a dry goods store in this
city there is employed a young
man with a pale moustache and
slightly defective hearing. This
young man was the victim of an
unintentional joke the other day.
One well known lady, while In the
store trading, misplaced a vail
which this young man found and
carefully laid aside until it should
be called for. About an hour Ia
ter, another lady entered the
store and inquired of another
clerk if he had seen anything OF
her baby. The young man with
the pale moustache, not hearing
distinctly, thought she said vail,
and, running forward, asked the
lady if 1T was a black one. The
rest can be better imagined than
described. 1t is reported that an
irate husband has taken the case
in hand and that the pale NOUS
tached young man has asked for
a vacation.-Tampa Tribune.

The Butter King of the World

Among the many interesting
things said of John Newman, the
butter king Of the world, we
take the following from the New
York Press:
''He's the worlds butter king
and he lives in our state" said
| the Chicago man. His name is
John Newman, president of the
Elgln board of trade, the body
which controls the greatest out
ter producing center in the
world. His first step to his pres
ent emlneDce was a clerkship IN
Potter Palmer's general store, on
a weekly wage of So. He was
wiry, active and little, fresh from
an English country home. Now
he possesses, directly or Indirect
ly, $500 farms IN Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and Iowa, the pro
ducts of which go to make pro-
vender for the COWS which give
the milk which Mr.. Newman
needs in his business. He skins
cream from 100000 quarts a
day.
The butter kings aggregate
farms contain about 100000
acres, from which he receives
sufficient milk to make between
100000 and 100000 pounds
of butter annually. This bulk IS
wholly beyond the comprehension
of man, whose cake usually
weighs one pound, or the metro
politan bachelor, who thinks the
butter comes to his Broadway
restaurant in small chunks about
the size of checkers. One days
output would spread a slice of
bread as big as the area of
Greater New York; yes, and
spread it good and thick, too. A
years output would butter the
continent, while a stack of the
tubs used to hold the output
would build an overlapping fence
around the pyramids.
We happen to know this butter
king, having enjoyed his hospl-
tally, and grand fellow he is.
His case is another REPUTATION of
the assertion that no man can
make fortune these days unless
he belongs to a trust. In New
mans case it was brains and
good business Judgment. He
could see what others could not,
and improved the opportunity.

1HIRTY-IHREt NORKMEN WERE KILLED.
CAUGHT In A MINE.
An Explosion Of Firedamp Causes a Terrible
Loss Of Life al Carbpndale, Wash.
Some Heroic Rcscues.

In mine explosion at Carbonate,
Wash, last Saturday, 32 miners were
killed. The theory OF Superintendent
Davies is that a small pocket OF gas was
opened, became ignited and caused the
terrific explosion OF dust which resulted
in all the damage and loss OF life.
The explosion occurred at II a. m,
and shook the mine from the water
level to the surface, nearly 1000 ieet
above. Nearly a hundred miners were
at work, and between 80 and 40 OF them
were killed outright OF the 20 or 80
miners who were in the upper levels and
who escaped unhurt, several immedi-
ately started down again to rescue their
unfortunate companions, but at the
lower levels were overcome by the al
ter-damp. which killed number.
The noise OF the explosion brought
the entire population OF the town to the
mouth OF the tunnel Wives and chill
dren of the doomed men were wild with
grief. Governor Rogers arrived i'll the
evening and took charge OF the mine.
He began an investigation to determine
the responsibility for the accident.
Miners who were brought to the sur
face alive were muflledd i'll sacking to
protect their burns until they could be
carried to the hospital
Many instances OF heroism were re-
corded. Rescuers would continue at
work until overcome by the gas. They
would be carried to the upper air to re-
vive them and then descend again.
None of the bodies so far recovered
were crushed. Timbering and excavat-
ing are being CARRIED on as rapidly as
possible. Nearly all the men killed were
smothered by the gas and after-damp.
AS to the cause OF the explosion, even
the miners rescued cannot give the
slightest explanation. Only safety
lamps are worn when at work. II, how
ever, n man carelessly opens his lamp
the coal gas quickly explodes. The only
open light known was that from the
small locomotive used to haul the cars
in and out the cannon on the main level.
When the first rescuing party reach
cd the mine workings they found that
timber and coal pillars had been ground
into an inextricabie mass. By the dim
| lights of their safety lamps they found
charred and twisted bodies behind piles
OF timbers and tons OF coal.
Whenever a live man was found a
rope was placed about his body, under
his arms. With this he was dragged 400
| feet, to point beneath the nearest tim
ber chute running to the surface. From
the surface the manned men were car
| red a mile or more to the foot OF the
big incline, running 100 feet up to the
top of Carbonate. On this journey the
wounded men were carried on stretch
crs and on horseback.
The mine belongs to the Southern Pa
| cific Railroad Company. The coal is a
SOFT bitumnous variety, productive OF
large proportion OF gas, and has been
much used in gas manufacture.
The total number OF men in the unfor-
tunate shaft was 70, of whom "A are
alive, having escaped or been rescued.

COINAGE OF THE MiNTS.
The Production oI Gold Coin Last Year The
Greatest In History

George +. Roberts, the Director OF
the Mint, in his annual report, says:
The mints and assay offices operated
upon more bullion in the aggregate,
and greater coinage was executed dur
ing the last fiscal year than in any pre-
vious year. Original deposits of gold
were slightly less than during the pre-
vious year, amounting in value to $I43,-
4o7, 100, against $I47, 7,6o3, Io4 in the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1893. Domestic
deposits were the largest in our history,
amounting to S7o,252,4S7 against $6o,-
8SI, 100 in the preceding year, but there
was a falling off in foreign coin and
bars.
The coinage of gold was the greatest
in our history, amounting to $Io8,I77,-
ISo, against So4,o34,8o5 in the preceding
year, and might have been considerably
larger il the capacity of the mints had
been greater. The stock of gold bull
lion on hand increased from Soc, 6,6S8,-
sSe on July I, 1893 to $IIo,S92,772 on
July I, 1900.
The coinage of silver dollars from
bullion purchased under the act OF July
II, 1890, was SIS,2547oo against $Io,-
o227So in the preceding year, and the
coinage of subsidiary silver, $9,466,S77.-
05 against $6,4S2, ,So4.
