San Francisco, May 10. - The pro-
grams for the entertainment of Gov.
Nash and the Ohio visitors were de-
clared off last night on account of the
illness of Gov. Nash. While attending
the christening of the big tree in his
honor near Santa Cruz on Monday he
was poisoned with poison oak. He was
partially blinded and suffered very
much while addressing the Union
League club Wednesday night. Yes
terday he was not out of bed and is
attended constantly by a physician.
While his affection is not serious, it
prevents him from participating in any
of the functions that had been ar
ranged in his honor.
Yesterday was Ohio day at Golden
Gate Park. The tally-ho rides and the
banquet were given but the open air
reception and the speaking were aban-
doned, as Gov. Nash was not present.
At the banquet Gov. Geer of Oregon
RESPONDED for his state and Messrs.
Burkett, Longworth, Allen, Zerebe,
Collier Whiting and others from Ohio
were called out by Toastmaster NJ. H.
De Young, who paid high tributes to
President Mckinley, Gov. Nash and
other Ohioans and referred to the af-
Fiction of Mrs. Mckinley as the cause
of such general sympathy that no fes-
tivities could be participated in. At
ter drinking to the health of the presi-
dent and Gov. Nash the party drank
to the recovery of Mrs. Mckinley in
impressive silence while standing.
Among other events that were declared
off last night was the banquet of the
Ohio Society of California to the pres
ident at which over 100 visitors from
Ohio were expected to be present.

she Forgot Her English.

A young Russian woman. who has
only been for a few months in this
country, is an intrepid speaker Of Eng
lish, and is constantly telling her
friends that she has mastered the lam
guage in this short space Of time with
out any difficulty whatever. The other
afternoon, when she called on Baltf-
more girl, she was shown at once to
the boudoir of her hostess, and found
that young woman in charming neglige
costume.
II hope you will pardon my desha'
billie" the. American girl said. II have
just come in"
''No, indeed, certainly not" the Rus
sian maid replied, vivaciously, in her
pretty accent, II would not do so, no,
no."
Then there was an embarrassed
pause, and the American girl had just
commenced, in a constrained voice, to
talk of the weather and the Easter
frocks, when there were signs Of wild
excitement from the Russian.
1.-THE answer was yes" she ex-
claimed. II have it all wrong. have
my English forgotten. The answer was
most certainly yes"
And then the conversation ran on
smoother lines.-Baltimore News.

KIDNAPPED HIS CHILDREN.

South Dakota Mining Man Takes
His Children Away From Oshkosh.
Oshkosh, Wis.,, May 1.-Two Oshkosh
children, Ted and Barring Gould. have
been kidnapped, presumably by their
father, who has not been living with
his wife for two years. He is an Eng
lishman, and has been interested in
mining in South Dakota. The children
were missing Monday noon, and later
in the day telegram was received
from the father by the mother, stating
that he had taken the boys for trip,
and had not had time to notify the
mother. Chicago detectives were notf-
fled, and they announced they had To-
Gated the children. The parties are
prominent. Mrs. Barring Gould was
formerly Miss Mamie Bigger of osh-
kosh, daughter Of a wealthy dry goods
merchant. Mr.. Gould has been In
South Dakota. His visit here was un-
known to any until his telegram was
received.

Pekin, May II. - The difference OF
opinion among the ministers regarding
the manner in which the indemnity
should be paid makes the date Of their
next meeting indefinite. China's reply
to the demand of the powers is consid.
cred as an acknowledgment of her in
debtedness and of her willingness to
discuss the question of payment, out
not as a solution of the matter. 1t IS
understood that no source OF revenue
requiring to be collected by the chi
nese, such as the lilkin, will be salts

the customs is generally approved. 1t
is expected that formidable dlfncultles

A FAMOUS OLD HOUSE.

The house of Walter Baker & Co.,
whose manufactures Of cocoa and choc-
olate have become familiar in the
mouth as household words, was estab-
lished one hundred and twenty-one
years ago Q7S0) on the Neponset river
in the old town of Dorsetshire, a sub
urb of Boston. From the little wooden
mill, "by the rude bridge that arched
the food,' where the enterprise was
first started, there has grown up the
largest industrial establishment of the
kind in the world. 1t might be said
and go, Walter Baker & Co. go on for
ever.
What is the secret of their great sue
cess? 1t is a very simple one. They
have Won and held the confidence Of the
great and constantly increasing body
of consumers by always maintaining
the highest standard in the quality Of
their cocoa and chocolate preparations.
and selling them at the lowest price for
which unadulterated articles of good
quality can be put upon the market.
They welcome honest competitions; but
trey feel justified in denouncing in the
strongest terms the fraudulent methods
by which inferior preparations are
palmed off on customers who ask for
and suppose they are getting the genu-
inc articles. The best grocers refuse to
handle such goods, not alone for the
reason that, in the long run, it doesn't
pay to do it, but because their sense OF
fair dealing will not permit them to aid
in the sale of goods that defraud their
customers and injure honest manufac-
turers.
Every package of the goods made by
the Walter Baker Company bears the
well-known trade mark LA Belle Choc-
olatiere," and their place of manufac-
ture, dorchester, Mass" Housekeep-
ers are advised to examine their pur-
chases, and make sure that other goods
have not been substituted.
An attractive little book of "Cholce
Recipes" will be mailed free to any
housekeeper who sends her name and
address to Walter Baker & Co., Ltd,

Fairmont. w. Va, May II. - Six
miners lost their lives, five were fatal
ly injured and three seriously burned
IN an explosion at the shaft of the
Georges Creek Coal and Iron company
at Pennington. seven miles west of
this city on the main line of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad yesterday morn
ing.
The Georges Creek company had
headquarters in the Equitable building,
Baltimore and extensive mining inter-
ests in Maryland. This is the first
mine the company has opened in this
state and fully 100000 has been in
vested and the mine is one of the best
equipped in the Fairmont coal region.
Col. r. l.. Somerville, an experienced
and capable mine superintendent, has
charge of the works. The mine was
only recently put into operation and
about 125 men were employed, only
forty of this number under ground.
Owing to a shortage in the car supply
the men have only been making about
half-time for several days, but yester-
day quite a number of cars were left
at the mine and the management de-
cided to break all records with yester-
the morning the miners. who reside in
cosy cottages on the hill top above the
mine, made their way to the main
opening and the car carried them
$50 Feet Into the Earth.
Fifteen of them were assigned to
portion of the mines that had been
worked for some time and the remain
der were put to work on headings quite
distance away. One of the men it Is
believed had struggled torch into the
mines. as it gives so much better light
than safety lamps prescribed by the
company. There is an immense fan
which sends 5000 feet of fresh air into
the mines at every revolution, and as
the shaft was considered one Of the
safest in the region, the miner did not
heed the frequent warnings of fellow
emplOye who warned him Of the risk
he was taking. At 9:15 the miner fired
a shot and the smoke, which was very
dense. caught fire from the torch and
spread to either the gas or dust and
the explosion resulted. Fortunately
the fire did not catch fire to any extent.
The explosion vented itself through
the air shaft and almost demolished
the building on the surface in which
the fan was located. The men on the
headings did not know there had been
an explosion until informed of it. In a
short time the headings were cleared
of foul gas and the work of rescuing
the unfortunate commenced. 1t was
S o'clock before the work was con-
cluded. This is the most serious ex-
plosion that ever occurred in the Fair
mont coal region.
