she declined to accept, and then emf
grated to the states. There, after a
long struggle, he succeeded about a
year ago in paying off the last penny.
and since has been saving with view
to marrying the lady of his choice. He
had not corresponded with her for
years. but knew through mutual friends
that she was still living. few DAYS
ago he sent her the following cable
gram: "All debts paiu: am coming"

THE GREATEST MATCHMAKER
Some Pages from the Instructive
Biography of d. H. Church.

From the July Success.
Not very many years ago, ID. T..
Church was an itinerant Matchmaker
IA very good workman, to be sure, but
just plain artisan. OF a rowing ma
ture, he left the East, where he was
born half century ago. and sought
fortune in the West. His bent was for
mechanics; he liked to tinker with ma
chimes. In st, Paul he met a watch
maker named Gridley, from whom he
learned his trade. While working at
his bench one day, Gridley stopped TO
examine watch Church had been at
work on.
rs that the best you can do?" he
asked.
Maybe ! might do little better"
said Church.
Then, young man." said Gridley,
you just begin and do it all over
again, and remember this: never leave
piece of work until you have done
the best you know how to do"
The great matchmaker says that he
began to achieve success from that
day. He has always done his best.
Leaving st. Louis, he drifted about
the West, working at his trade. He
wanted to travel and found a place
with a watch company as an advance
agent" for it's make of watches. He
was to travel through the West ahead
OF the sales agents, proclaiming the
praises of their wares. After four
weeks on the road, he went back to the

Chicago Office and turned In the
watches he was carrying.
Here's your truck" he said TO the
manager II am tired OF trying to
make other folks believe things about
these watches that don't believe my
self"
could you make any better
watches?" asked the manager, jok-
ingly.
III couldn't, wouldn't call myself
a matchmaker"
I'll take you at your word. I'll set
you to work in the shops, to see what
you can do"
That was twenty years ago. Mr..
Church had not been long in the fac
tory before 1t was found that he was
rare genius. He told his employers
that their watches cost too much to
make. They were spending too much
for raw material. and the wage account
was extravagant.
give me a free hand in this fac
tory he said, land I'll save you
money"
So Mr.. Church was made mechanical
superintendent of the works, and told
to go ahead and do whatever he liked.
He saw that men were performing
purly mechanical operations that
might better be done by machines
which could work more rapidly and ac-
curately. He set himself to the task
of devising the wonderful automat tons
that have made him the first watch
maker in America, If not in the world
Mr.. Church is constantly at work, maxi
ing more wonderful machines, and
more than one hundred and fifty
matchmaking machines bear his name
and the stamp of his genius So rapid
ly does he work. that the machine shop,
where his tools are made, is five years
behind his designs.

EXPLOSION STILL A MYSTERY
Officials of the Dayton Coal and Iron
Company Have Not Progressed Suf-
ficientIy In Their Investigations Yet
to Arrive at Cause of Disaster.

Chattanooga, April 2.-InYestigation
today revealed the fact that the Mel
son mine at Dayton, in which the ex.
plosion occurred, is not on fire and has
not been. Workmen are engaged to.

bodies will be recovered. The funerals
Of those recovered were held today In
all there were 16 killed, leaving SO or.
pnans and IA widows.
George Swaff0rd, negro one of the
miners reported injured yesterday
died this morning.
The miners claim that the explo-
sion was due to failure to sprinkle
the mine on Sunday. The prevailing
opinion seems to be that it was caus-
ed by combination of coal dust and
gas In the mine, The officials of the
Dayton Coal and Iron company state
that they have not progressed suff-
ciently in their Investigations to make
full statement, but they claim that
the Nelson was one of the best gov
erned mines at Dayton, and that they
have always been willing to comply
with the regulations of the state gov.
erning mine interests Superintend-
ent Roy Meyer, of the mine, said today
chat the rules governing the mine
were very strict and enforced To the
letter. and the cause of the explosion,
he added, Is to him problemattc.
j. M. Head, the lessee and contrac,
tor in charge of the mine, said to the
Associated Press representative that
ehere had been no premonition Of the
explosion and that the mine, previous
to the occurrence, seemed to be all
right. He said that he knows the mine
Is not on fire, but that the hot air and
fumes noticed in the mine are due to
the combustion and will disappear
when ventilation is restored.
Mr., Shifflet impaneled a jury of In

inquiry into the cause of the acci.

Remains Believed TO Be Those Of Mrs.
Gideon Manchester, Who Disappear
ed SO Years ago and Who Was Be.
Iieved to Have Been Murdered.
Ttverton. r. l.. April "A mystic
rious disappearance and suspected MUIR
der of half century ago are recalled
by the discovery of human skeleton
wind and tide exposed this week on
the shore Of Island Park.
The body is believed to be that Of
Mrs. Gideon Manchester, who disap-
peared 50 years ago and was never
heard from thereafter, Her husband,
who still survives, was a seafarilg
man, and she left her home in this
town about the time he was due to
reach New Bedford to meet him, going,
it is thought. through the woods on
foot. Her shoes and stockings were
found in an unfrequented swamp sey.
erai weeks later. and investigation
showed that young woman who lived
in New Bedford then a prosperous
whaling town, had rings, earrings and
other trinkets known to have been
owned by Mrs. Manchester. Her hus,
band was arrested, but released for
lack of evidence, and the most thor,
ough search failed to reveal the slight,
est trace of his young and comely
wife.
The keeper of the old stone bridge,
then toll bridge, testified before the
coroner that he let a man cross the
bridge one dark and stormy night just
before the search for Mrs. Manchester
began. On his wagon the man had a
long box, covered by an old quilt The
remains found this week had been bu.
ried close to this bridge. The body
had apparently been too long for the
box and some of the bones had been
broken to force it into the improyised
coffin.
There is little doubt here that the
bones are those of Mrs. Manchester,
and the interest Of the authorities has
been revived in the case they thought
closed early in the sos.
