Galveston. Texas September 1i,--"I am
glad to see you alive" is the greeting with
which Galvestouian now meets his fell
low citizen on the rubbish blocked street,
of tho once proud city by the Texas coast.
Those who have not been here can not
realize what It is to man to meet
friend alive. or to aud relative who
since Saturday has been missing from the
huddled few remaining who are gathered
In some desolsted. wrecked and wind-tor
building, which but week ago was a
happy home of happy people.
When II drama has finished, the curtain
naIls. and as the orchestra plays some pop
ular air the audience makes its way To
the strset, talking for few moments OF
the characters and the scenes, but shut
ting out from mind, with the failing OF
that curtain. the happiness and the pain
which was depicted by moving characters
whe but represented a story OF mans
imaginative mind Not so with this. No
curtain can be drawn and the stage re-
mains ever before them. They have It
now as desolate picture to gaze upon,
and they will have it forever, wander
where they will upon this earth's surface.
No curtain can force II from the mind,
and no efiort can effGce It from the tablets
OF memory, Many Of the actors in this
great drama are not here, Some OF them
yet remain. and their stories are stranger
than fiction which Jules Verne or Dumas
have written.

was the creation of County examining
boards, to insure miners licenses.
Without such license no man can mine

this would protect them from unskill

the competition Of the foreigners that
were pouring into that region. They
soon found, however, that the protec-

are paid fec for each license they is

are not going to work against their

So the "liccnse" has dcgencratcd into
farce, in SO far as it serves as pro

les the measure has proved q great
thing. By employing only licensed"
miners they are released legally from
all responsibility for accidents. If a
miner is buried under tons of coal and
rock when he is at work, the fault is
his own. If the laborer working at
his side is also killed, tho laborer' s
relatives may look to the family Of the
"licensed" miner for damages, but not
to the operator. If there is an explos-
