QUEEN WILHELMINA WEEDS.
HoLLANDERS GAVE RULER A
GREAT OVATION.
Dutch Form of Marriage Severely
Simple, and Pastor Gave Couple
Some Fatherly Advice.

The Hague, February 7.-Queen Will
helmina's marriage to Duke Henry or
Mecllenburg- -Schwerin. who today be-
came Prince Heinrich of The Neither
lands, was a huge family affair. All Hol-
land that could came to The Hague to
participate. Those who stayed at their
homes IN other cities and villages of the
kingdom celebrated with parades. deco
rations ard banquets.
Never was seen more beautiful and
happy wedding. The popular belief Is
that it is a love match. like that of Vie
toria and Albert. ard this gives ro-
mantle Coloring to the event, when as
generally lacking in royal marriages.
The ceremonies We're the same SIMPLE
and unritualisJc rites of the Reformed
church by which the humblest of Queea
Wilhclnina's subjects are married. The
whole spirit of the affair was plain and
democratic, although the costly gowns
and Jewels and the SNOWY uniforms OF
distinguished personages. high officials of
the kingdom, the army ana the navy ami
representative Cf the people IN pdrlia-
ment and the municipalities furnished a
regal stage setting.
The venerable pastor administered to
the bride and groom "a caution that the'r
high positions would not shield them
from the common sulterings and sorrows
OF humanity.
Queen Niihemina made very WIN
ming AMI human bride. She blushed ana
became confused over the ceremonial WIG
the ring, as all brides are supposed To DO,
while her happiness ana pride over the
enthusiasm of her people were plainly
deeper than a mere matter of form.
Prince Heinrich was an awkward but
stalwart and manly figure. Either he
was forgctful or badly trained in the
part. for the pastor had 10 give him two
ar three hints as to how 10 carry HIM

The responses describe him as say ms

KILLED IN MIN EXPLOSION.
EIGHTY-SEVEN PERSONS ARE
BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Victims Occupied Residences Just
Over Mexican Mine in Which
Explosion Occurred.

chihuahua. Mexico. February 7.-Word
has lust reached here or one of the most
terrible mining disasters that ever oc-
Cured in Mexico. An explosion in the
San Andres mine, situated in a remote
locality of the Sierra Madres, in the west
ern part Of the state of Durango, caused
the death Of eghty-seven men. women
and children and injured many others
The catastrophe was due to the explo-
sion of several hundred cases of dyna-.
mite which was stored i'm an underground
chamber of the mine. Electric wires, con-
Meeting with the hoisting machinery,
passed through the room in which this
dynamite was stored and it is supposed
that these wires became crossed. thereby
causing a fire which set off the dynamic.
All of the killed and injured were located
on the surface, most Of them occupying
residences Immediately above the under
ground workings of the mine The explo-
sion tore away the whole top of the
mountain on which the village miners
were located. and men. women and chill
dren were blown into small pieces.
Among those who were killed was
Herman Luetsman, the superintendent of
the mine, and all the members of his fam
lly. At the time of the explosion there
were several hundred miners at work in
the lower workings of the mine, and,
strange to say, none of them were serious
ly injured although they were all severe
" shocked in the terrific force of the ex-
plosion.
They rushed to the surface through one
of the shafts that was not filled with
debris. and the sight that met their eyes
I'm the almost complete destruction OF the
little village IS indescribablc.
The work Of gathering up the fragments
of the unfortunate victims of the eXplo-
sion scattered over the mountains was
begun, ana they were placed together and
buried i'm one grave. But few of the
mang,ed remains were recognizable.
Summons was sent to neighboring
camps for surgeons to attend the injured
and it was some time before this aid ar
rived.
The San Andres mine is the most cele-
brated silver mine IN Mexico. 1t Is val
ued at $200O.000 1t has produced many
millions of dollars worth Of ore.
