CHAPEL IN A COAL MINE.
Welsh Miners Meet There to Pray for
the Weeks Work.

the Weeks Work.
Few places of worship in the country have
more interest than the miners sanctuary in
the Mynydd Newydd colliery, near Swansea,
says the London Leader.
Situated $50 feet below the surface of the
earth, with four long rows of pibwood to
sustain the roof, rude desk on a large lump
of coal for a pulpit, and a series of rough
hewn planks as s"pews," it is indeed the
strangest of the many strange bethels in
wild Wales
Every Monday morning without a break
for ffty-fOur years the colliers have crowded
into the novel apartment to ask the blessing
of providence upon the weeks work.
To the eldest miner present the conduct of
the service is customarily intrusted, but
properly ordained divines have not infre-
quently descended into the mine before the
Mondays turn" had commenced and the
whitewashed walls of the little chapel have
resounded with that Celtic fervor which
Welshmen speak of as the hwyl (which nc
| irreverent Saxon should pronounce as how'll
One motto there is painted near the pulpit
| ''Os nos heb ddim ser mid nos heb Dduw
deyrnasadan wadnau Mynydd Curiog,
| Freely interpreted, that is IF it is night
without stars, it is not night without God
for He reigneth under the foundations oi

Dispatch From President Schurman
Shows Satisfactory Condition.
Washington, May 6.-The state de-
partment yesterday received a dispatch
from President Schurman, of the Phil
ippine commission, giving the sub
stance of the conferences with the
representatives of Aguinaldo, and ask
ing for further instructions. While
the text of the dispatch is not to be
made public Secretary Hay stated that
it showed a very satisfactory condi-
tion of affairs in the Philippines, and
pointed to a settlement of the diff
culties there.
The reply of the president to Pro-
fessor Schurmans cablegram, it is un-
derstood, stated that he was very
anxious to have the peace negotia-
tions concluded at the earliest possible
moment, and to this end he desired
that no unnecessary or humiliating
conditions should be imposed upon the
insurgents. 1t is believed in admin
istration circles that as soon as
Aguinaldo is convinced of the sin
cerity of the American government he
will agree to surrender. He will be
required, however, to lay down his
arms. This will be the principal con-
| dition.

The MoIIneux Cosa nolovad

New York, May 6.-The grand jury
took up the case of Roland B. Moli-
neuX, charged with the murder of Mrs.
Adams, again yesterday, but adjourned
until Monday without handing in an
indictment or report 1t transpired
that the relations between the district
attorneys office and the grand jury
were not of the most cordial kind.
District Attorney Gardiner said that
he would be rejoioed if the grand jury
would take the case off his hands and
assume the responsibility. He said II
had worried him a good deal, and that
he had been worried much by other
recent cases, notably the Dolly Rey-
nolds case. Some comment was caused
by the fact that Foreman Church and
another member of the jury belong to
the Loyal Legion, and are friends of
their fellow member, General Moli-
neux, father of the prisoner.

FORMER Congressman Reilly, in
unison with almost every resident of
Pottsville, is deeply chagrined at the
plain architecture of the public
building He expresses regret that
the appropriation was not greater,
and says it would have been had he
remained in Congress. The cause
ascribed by the ex-Congressman, is
not the correct one. To the greed of
the average Pottsvillian can be at
tributed the reason. The govern
ment was compelled to pay double
the price for the site, and therefore
had to curtail the expenditure on the
building. Don't blame the govern
ment.
