and Elmer Mulvaney and found that

cal attendance. Kerwin was arrested

of Ryan, the contra ctor, two weeks ago.
Ire inquest into the mans sanity was
held before Judge Lindsay. Contractor

the street and the latter told him he
was going to die of quick consump
ton and that there was a woman in
Florida who was treating him. DR..

win in Jail and that when first locked

MET A FR|GHTfUL DEATH
r. II. Thomas Plunged Down the
Leonard Shaft.
FELL FIVE HUNDRED FEET
He Was Pumpman and Was Standing
on Plank Thrown Across the
Shaft When the Horrible
Accident Occurred.

Richard H. Thomas, we'll known
pumpman, met death in a frightful
manner yesterday afternoon by falling
500 feet in the Leonard shaft. His head
was horribly lacerated and his right
leg and right arm were severed in the
fall.
Shortly after 2 o'clock Thomas went
to the 500 station to repair some defect
in the pipes at that point He threw
a plank across the pump shaft at
point few feet above the station. He
was alone. John Angove, helper, was
short distance from the shaft, but
out of sight of Thomas. 1t is pre-
sumed that the plank upon which
Thomas was standing projected just far
enough into the operating, or cage,
shaft to be struck by the cage in its
hasty flight, with the terrible result
that the pumpman was thrown off his
bearings and down to the bottom of
the shaft. 500 feet, the shaft being 1000
feet deep. He was a large man, and
although he fell that great distance,
his body, aside from the leg and arm
mentioned was not lacerated or bruis-
ed to a remarkable extent.
Richard H. Thomas was born 46
to the United States rs years ago and
worked in the mines at Virginia City,
New He returned to his native coun-
try and again came to this country
ID years ago and settled in Butte where
he had since resided. He has two
brothers in Butte, Charles, employed
at the Parrot in the capacity of pump
man, and W. H., holding similar job
! in the Ella mine. His wife and son re-
side in Cornwall. He lived near the
Western Iron works. Mr.. Thomas was
well known and highly respected
among a large circle of acquaintance.
He was a steady, sober and industri-
Gus citizen. The body is at Richards,
undertaking rooms and an inquest will
be held there this evening at 1870
o'clock by Coroner Julien.
| John Angove. the man who was
helping Thomas, said last night that
he was with Thomas when the acct
dent occurred. This fact was not known
| when the above was written. Angove
said that he was working on the man
way station just above Thomas. He
said something dropped down the shaft
and struck Thomas, knocking him
| down to the next manWay station.
these stations being 10 feet apart and
connected with ladders, running dag
onally with the shaft He said that
when Thomas fell he went down to
where Thomas was reclining against
the timbers which divide the pump
shaft from the cage shaft, his leg and
one arm projecting into the working
| shaft
II shouted to the station tender be-
low to give the engineer the danger
| signal, nine bells. Instead of doing so
he gave the flash light signal, code
in vogue among the several station
tenders, and hence the engineer got
no bells. The cage. flew up and caught
Thomas projecting limbs and dragged
him up on the bonnet of the cage, from
which he fell to the bottom of the
sump."

with it the conviction that the work
has been we'll done, for of surety
no play builder now contributing to the
contemporary stage can equal Thomas
in the composition of bright, eplgram-
NAUTICAL dialogue, or in the construction
of convincing situations. Accepting this
assertion as a fact, we also have the
further assurance that Mr. Robson he's
peopled the cast of THE Meddler'
with some particularly well dressed,
mannerful and intelligent men, togeth-
err with several artistic, as well as
handsomely gowned and beautiful wo-
men, and the natural deduction is that
an evening spent in witnessing The

A SCHOOL INNOVATION.
Bath fubs introduced in Some European
School Houses.

A famous German professor of by.
giene declares that above all things
our schoolrooms should be provided
with a good system of ventilation. And
all of us agree with him. We want
some arrangement whereby the impure
air can be constantly swept out and
the pure air introduced. And vet we
who have stood in the schoolroom, sur
rounded by nearly hundred little un-
washed bodies, cannot feel satisfied
with this arrangeme ent alone. We know
by experience that even the best ven
tilating apparatus will fall short in
producing exactly an ideal condition
of the atmosphere. We hal often
thought Of making the bath tub part
and portion OF the education of the
children intrusted to our care, in for
mer years, says the Illustrated Homo
journal, and yet we lacked the neces-
sary funds for making the experiment.
Many teachers have entertained tho
same views with the same results.
But now we find to our surprise that
the idea is very old, and, in fact, has
been carried into excellent effect long
ago in many of the schools of Europe.
Warm shower baths, ana plenty OF
them, have been provided for the chill
dren, with whom this innovation seems
to be extremely popular. These baths
are practical and economical, as we'll
as hygienic. A school in Gottiugen,
Germany, took the lead in this direc-
tion in 1888. and now some forty cities
in Germany, Switzerland and Scandi.
navia have such baths in their school
buildings. Reference is made to one
foreign school where the facilities for
bathing sixty children an hour cost
only 1887. The Superintendent of
Schools in Spring gfeld, Mass, is urg-
ing the introduction of these facilities
there, though the people of Springfield
claim to use more private bathtubs
than those of any other town in tho
United States, population considered.
The question is a fair one whether the
character of the atmosphere in our
popular assemblies, as well as our
schoolrooms, is not more of q reAec-
ton on the amount of our Tubing

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
from Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkhan.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. II. RANK, No. 1854
last Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia,

lief from utter Encouragement. She
says:

to thank you for what Lydia e. Pink

Some years ago Ihad womb trouble

ing any improvement. At times
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So il went on
until last October, l felt something
terrible creeping over me, knew not
what, but kept getting worse. l can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. / was SO depressed in spirits
that did not wish to live, although
had everything to live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
Indeed, thought would lose nv
mind. No one knows what l endured.
l continued this way until the last
OF February, when l saw in a paper a
testimonial of a lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. determined to try it,
and felt better after the first dose. /

WORDS or WISDOM.

No men living are more worthy to
be trusted than those who toll up from
poverty.
A man who does not know how to
learn from his mistakes turns the best
schoolmaster out of his life.
1t is not our failures that ruin rs,
but our fear and tardiness in making
new beginnings after failure.
There are many who traverse the
world in pursuit of happiness; but it
is within the reach of every mana
contented mind confers it.
Useless fretting and worrying bring
more gray hairs to the head, wrinkles
to the face and cares to the mind, than
old age and actual trouble.
1t is continued temperance which
sustains the body for the longest
period of time, and which most surely
preserves it free from sickness.
A life merely of pleasure Co Jhiefy
of pleasure is always poor and worth
less life, not worth the living; always
unsatisfactory in its course; always
miserable in its end.
1t has been said that to the pure all
things are pure. Just as thoroughly
has it been proved that to the vile, all
vileness is of the vilest, and what is
pnre is considered only grade of
vileness all the more reprehensible,
because it is obviously impossible of
comprehension by minds attuned to
less harmonious chords.

are the first heavy engines to be used
on the line. 1t is expected they will
increase the train haul about 10 per
