SCORES ARE KILLED.
Dynamite stored in q Mexican sill
yer Mine ExpIodes Causing
Death and Destruction.

ST. Louis. Mo-, Feb. S.-A special to
the Globe Democrat from Chihuahua,
Mexico. says: Word has just reached
here of one of the most terrible mining
disasters that ever occurred in Next
co. An explosion in the San Andres
mine. situated in remote locality OF
the Sierra Madres in the western part
of the state of Durango, caused the
death of 81 men, women and children
and injured many others.
The catastrophe w0s due to the ex-
plosion of several hundred cases OF
dynamite. which was stored in annn-
foreground chamber of the mine. Elec-
trio wires connecting the hosting ma
chinery passed through the room in
which this dynamite was stored and it
is supposed that these wires became
crossed. thereby causing fire which
set off the dynamite.
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
was seriously injured, although they
were all severely shocked in the ter
rife force of the explosion.

The ruberculou. cocknex.

Every day the Londoner becomes
more like those animals which hide in
holes in the day and only come out
at night, or those submarine crea-
lures which come up to breathe at
intervals. The business man runs
after breakfast to "tube" which
takes him to his -subterranean Office
in the city; he lunches in restau-
rant below the surface, travels by
the Underground to Charing Cross
and back, and "tubes" home again.

little of Piccadilly and the Strand as
he does to-day of the Tower or Vest

IT HERE were surprise, entreaty and
i one or two other emotions plain
1y to be read in her blue eyes and on
her pursed lips.
"But it's my party, you know, Ted,

That's just what makes il 80

eyes, but over her shoulder and far,
ever SO far beyond.
1t was only a coaching trip into the
country which she had planned; but
when one is 20, and pleasure-seeling
is the serious business of life, such af-
fairs makes up the sum of things.
"But you know really want you to
go. IL don't think you ought to dis
appoint me like this" She looked
very aggrieved. Ted could see that,
even though he kept his eyes directed
into the far distance.
"You know I'd like to go, too" said
he. "But--" He shrugged his shout
ders and was silent, his gaze still fixed
beyond her.
"But why will you not goP" she de-
handed, looking up into his face.
Now, do not laugh at her. The child
cries when the pretty soap-bubble
bursts beneath his eager fingers. And
this was a bubble of her own blowing.
Besides, some day he might be very
near to her. 1t was not settled. She
was to have her own time in making
choice between them. So why
should he not come when she called?
"Tell me why?" she persisted.
