The Dominican order owns two ha-
ciendas within sight of Manila, upon
each of which an annual profit of $780,
900 was made prior to the arrival of the
American forces. 1t is no wonder the
church is seeking to know whether the
present owners are to be dispossessed.

Some cantaloupe growers in the river
vallies of New Mexico have received a
profit of $40 per acre, while others have
got little or nothing. 1t all depends up
on the variety grown and the manner
of marketing. Nc one has had carload
shipments, or more than $40 per acre
would have been realized.

The ten new regiments are being filled
almost as rapidly as were the other ten
organized this summer, notWithstand-
ing the lea that has interfered with all
other public movements, and the de-
mand for all idle men to engage in la
Dor at high wages. The utter failure of
the anti-administration shouters, who
sought to keep Americans from enlist
ing, by talk of an u%nrighteous and ig-
noble war, is thus shown. The people
do not pay any attention to such talk
except to resent it, for pride in the
country has been increased rather than
diminished by the wars. Patriotism has
been stirred into activity, and the sedi-
tious language of politicians and the
men whom they influence only increases
the determination of good citizens to de-
fend their country and help it to accom-
plish whatever it undertakes.

A CHURCH "R00F-GARDEN.'
Novel idea of Rev. A. C. Dixon's New
York Church.
New York Journal. }

The roof gardens of Manhattan furnish
the idea. and in a general way the model.
on which the Rev. A. G. Dixon's Peo-
pies Church will be built i'll Brooklyn.
Instead of sweItering in hot, stuffy pews,
the congregation during the summer
months viii Worship on a roof far above
the heat and noise of the street.
The Rev. DIR. Dixon is the pastor OF
the Hanson Place Baptist Church. The
old church was found too small, and the
congregation decided to build. Seven of
the leading architects are working on new
plans. All have been instructed to ar
range for audience room ON the roof
The sides and roof will be of glass.
They will be arranged so that they may
be thrown open In pleasant weather
Four large elevators will run to the roof.
The ground plan Of the church pro-
vides for Il seating capacity of 1000 in
the main auditorium. There will be a
lecture and Sunday school room SO sit
llated that they can all be thrown into
one room, giving a seating capacity of
$500.
IT will admit that the theatres have
furnished us the idea for the roof aT-
dftorium," said DR. Dixon last night.
There will be pulpit and comfortable
seats ON the roof, and we expect to have
some grand camp meetings"

EXPLOSION AND
DEATH IN A MINE
The Scene of the Disaster Is
Carbon Hill.
IN WASHINGTON STATE
SIXTEEN MANGLED BODIES

A Number Of Men Badly Blackened and Burned
Drawn up From the Mine AID Drap-
ped in Cloths Soaked in

Carbonate, Washington. Dec o.
About noon today this quiet coal mining
village was stunned with the report of 4
terrific subterramean explosion in the
mine of the Carbon Hill Company, the
tunnels of which rum for miles under the
ling, smothered sound for few moments
and then it ceased abruptly. The people
who had been accustomed to livelihood
by mining knew at once what this meant
and stood around with bandled faces.
Apprehension of some fearful disaster
We're confirmed in a Little while with i'm
formation that the morning shaft IN tIln-
ned No. { mad been caught in an explo-
sion of fire damp. Between seventy and
eighty men were at work in the mime at
the time.
The coal mines were those of the Car
bon Hill Coal Company, but they really
belong to the Southern Pacific Railway
Company. The foreman in charge of the
shift was J. III. Davies. 1t is said that
rs men were working under him. Six
teen bodies. all mangled out of recogni-
tion. have so far been taken out by the
relief corps. SO far details of the disaS-
ter are meagre. The number of men
employed in the first day shift was -.
Their hours are from Z Il. M. to 3 b. IN.
The explosion occurred between 10 and
il a. In. as near as can be ascertained.
Davies the foreman, escaped unhurt,
and besides him about twenty of the
Firms Most of the men are Welsh and
several of the Welsh mmers also escap-
ed, but they Immediately turned to and
went back into the mine in the hope of
being able TO rescue those still supposed
to be alive.
The tunnel in which the explosion took
place is about one and one quarter miles
in length ON a water level under the
southwest part of the town. There are
several air chutes running up to the sur
face at Wingate He'll, west of here.
The force of the explosion was such that
it knocked down John Ryan, so-called, q
Finn, who was working at the light
cross-cut, ID feet above the water level
The depth of the mine varies from $50
to about LOCO feet according to the con-
tour OF the surface.
At 10 o'clock a number of men were
pulled up through the timber chute near
the summit of Wingate Hill, from 4
depth of several hundred feet. They were
picked mp from six of the levels near
the water level. Three more were res
cued through the inclined tralnway All
of them were badly blackened and burned
and they were Immediately taken to the
conipany's hospital and wrapped in
cloths soaked in linseed oil.

INTERESTING RAILROAD RUMoR
The Vanderbilt System Said to be
Coming South.

A gentleman who is in EdentOn. N .
G., writing to "a representative of the
Columbia State, says that it has been
rumored there that the Vanderbilt
System" had bought the Norfolk and
Southern, running from Norfolk to
Edenton, and would build from the lat
ter point to Newbern, "a distance of SO
miles. At Newbern connection will be
made with the Wilmington and New
bern railroad, branch of the Coast
Line, which IS IS miles long. Thence
the proposed line will run to George
town. a distance of about 125 miles.
From Georgetown an extension will be
run to Columbia, so the story goes, and
another branch to Charleston. 1t has
already been published that the Wander
bilt System had purchased the Norfolk
and Southern, which, as has been stated
above, is in operation between Norfolk
and Edenton The Wilmington and
Newborn is also in operation, leaving Il
gap Of so miles between Newbern and
Edenton.
1.-THE details OF the proposed route
from Wilmington toward Georgetown
and Columbia have not been gathered, =
continues the State of yesterday. But
as the Vanderbilt System and the Coast
Line appear to be on more than mere
friendly terms it is possible that the
entire line from Wilmington to George
town and from Georgetown to Columbia
would not have TO be built Some of
the Coast Lines branches might be alb
sorbed.
This is not a new proposition. but it
is the first time that the Vanderbilt sys-
tenn has been connected with the rli-
mored building of line from Norfolk
to Columbia About five years ago some
Philadelphia parties obtained charter
fer such a line. Col. James q. Gibbes,
of this city was named as Il corporator
on account of services rendered IN the
capacity Of civil engineer. Col. Glbbes
says that the line, on parts OF 1t, was
in this venture. but it never amounted
to anything.
Between Columbia and Georgetown
more direct railroad facilities are de-
sirable. and the intervening country IS
now the seat Of a great timber indus
try, and part of it a fine farming sec
ton. Between Georgetown and Will
mingtOiE there are several large towns
which the new line might touch. Be-
tween Wilmington and Norfolk there
are several very important cities on the
rivers and sounds Of Eastern North
observation-disclosures Newbern Bay
boro. Washington, Edenton, Plymouth
and Elizabeth City. This would very
probably be the most direct line from
Norfolk to Wilmington. At Norfolk
