MINE HORROR IN MEXICO.
Probably Thirty Men Are Entombed
and Burned Alive.

Fire broke out in one of the chambers
of the La Paz mines at Matehauala,
state of San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and it
spread so rapidly that many miners were
entombed and persisted. Eleven bodies
have been brought to the surface and
near twenty miners are missing. An
effort was made to send down a rescuing
party from the surface, but the terrific
heat made it impossible. Ramon Gomez,
foreman of the day shift, persisted in an
attempt to go down from the surface
and save his comrades. The cause Of
the fire is not known. An official inyes-
tigation has been ordered.

Decrease co, 100000.

Cape Town reports give an inkling OF

the trade with the Transvaal and Orange
Free State was nearly f.. 80. 600 sterling

Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church in
Chicago will probably be supplanted by
new institution. This would embrace the
First Methodist Church, Clark and
Washington streets; the Wabash avenue
and Fourteenth street property; Marie
Chapel, Wentworth avenue and Twenty
third streets the Methodist missionary
training school, Wesley hospital and
Northwestern Medical school, two mis-
sions and the Trinity Church property,
at Indiana avenue and Twenty-ffth
street and Indiana avenue and Thirtieth
street. This would place Trinity Church
in control of property valued at $4,000
900, and put it in the same class of in
stitutional churches as the Metropolitan
tabernacle of New York. The new build
ing itself will probably be erected on the
property at Indiana avenue and Thirtieth

support of several wealthy and influential
men, The work will be pushed as soon

that copies of papers containing this

Ciation.

During the past ten years the price
Of leaf tobacco has declined year by
year, until at the present time the
prices paid for the different grades are
only about one third of what they
were in 1889, while under existing con
ditiors the future does not hold out
any prospects that encourage the
grower. At the present time the money
received for his crop by the grower is
barely sufficient to pay the cost Of the
fertilizer and the labor expended, and
there is no profit. This is not as it
should be and the time has come for
the producer 10 have something to say
regar ding the returns he shall receive
for his hard labor. There is a way by
which he can bring about state of
affairs in which he will be called into
consultation when prices are made on
his property-R state Of affairs in
which he whose intelligence, labor and
skill causes the earth to yield bounti
fully of it's fruits will reap full and
just reward for his efforts.
Such state of affairs can be brought
about by organization. The old adage,
''In union there is strength, is just as
applicable to the farmer as to any
other class of men. There are trades
unions almost without number in our
country; there are unions in the vsri-
GUS lines of business; the railroads and
other transportation companies have
their understandings; almost every
trade and line of business in the Iand
is organized for the purposes OF ad
vancement or mutual protection, or
both. The farmer is the found alton OF
the whole social fabric. Without his
efforts our kings Of finance would b.
beggars, though possessing untold & Id
and our ship of state would go to pieces
in a twinkling. Without his ef1rrs 1t
would not be possible to dig into the
bowels of the earth for the treasure
hidden there, nor could we extend our
civilization to the remote parts of the
world. Without the farmer there
would be no wealth, no government
and no civilization. Yet he, upon
whose toll everything depends, has
been content to labor for such recon
pense as others have seen fl to grudg
ingIy bestow him. That recompense
in the case of the tobacco grower at
least, has been growing smaller and
smaller as the years have gone by,
until now he is actually working for
his board and clothes, and unless he
wakes up and asserts himself soon he
will be starved to death on the land
his forefathers subdued and prospered
on and left as a heritage to him.
The farmer might be a power if he
would, and the way to secure recogni-
tion of his merits and his rights lies
through organization Organization as
thorough and as full Of purpose es that
of any Of the great combinations which

we find the people are not going to be

selecting. There are many men who
would vote for prohibition if, in their
Judgment they believed prohibition
laws are practicable, but notwithstand-

they do not propose to be ''Leagued"

voters do their own selecting: as a,ule,

he wishes TO cast his vote for them
without being carrolled into Il

Answers His Critics and Takes Preach
ers to Account.
CHARLESTON, April 2.-Following his
sermon of last Sunday, Rev. Arthur
Crane, who recently moved here from
New Jersey, preached again last night
against vice in Charleston.
He said that unless the blind tigers,
the gambling houses and houses of Ill
repute are closed in Charleston he will
produce evidence and facts which will
force the authorities to act. Rev. Crane
has visited the places about which he
has preached and he reiterated his de-
termination of seeing them closed. He
denies that he has emulated the example
of DR.. Parkhurst, and severely criticised
the other ministers Of the city who have
talked disparagingly of his crusade
sgainst vice and sin.
