MORE THAN A HUNDRED KILLED.
Mining Disaster In Mexico One of
the Worst on Record.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Feb. 3.-The
latest information from the Hondo
NIexico) mine explosion shows it to
have been fully as serious as at first
reported. There was a total of JOG
miners at work in the mine when the
explosion occurred, and all of them are
dead The majority of the victims
are Mexicans and Cinnamon, very few
Americans having been at work in the
mine.
Every mule in the mine was killed,
three dead ones being taken from the
debris. The work of clearing away
the wreck in order to get to the bodies
is being rushed as rapidly as possible,
but there is no hope that any of the
men will be rescued alive.
The explosion occurred in mine No.
6 and was, occasioned by striking gas
pocket. The mine is the property of
the Coahuila Coal company, 2. NJ.
McEenny being superintendent The
names of the victims have not been
learned here. The loss to the owners
of the mine is very heavy.

somewhat forgetful from a severe cold,

GIVES ODD PHONE DECISION.
Merchant Who Sues Recipient Of Mes.
SAGE Loses in Berlin Court.

In Berlin q legal decision was re-
Gently rendered which is of interest
to every business man in every coun-
try who uses telephone.
A merchant one day sent an order
by telephone to firm, and as the
order was not carried out to his sat
isfaction he sued for damages, claim
ing that the person at the other end
of the telephone to whom he had given
his order was responsible for the loss.
The court however, decided against
him and refused to award any dam
ages, on the ground that, as rule,
the person who goes first to a tele-
phone and asks to be put in connec-
tion with another person must bear
the consequences of any loss which
may be the result OF such a conversa-
tion.
The court admitted that the person
to whom an order might be sent in
this way might not catch all the
words, or might fail to understand
their full import, but it insisted that
1t would be contrary to all the prin-
ciples of law to hold him responsible
on that account.

ANOTHER LINCOLN STORY.
Told Poor Woman That What che
Needed Was a Grocer.

Abraham Lincoln was not what
might be termed religious man. but
he possessed that quality which alone
makes religion ndmirnble-brOad char
ity that takes no note of cant and de-
splSeS sham of every sort. says the
Chicago Chronicle. AT Il meeting held
recently to raise funds for the endow
ment Of hospital number OF
speeches were made commenting the
worthy charity and sounding the praise
of the management OF the institution.
But none of the speakers once during
their little talks alluded to the main
object of the meeting until 1t came 20
Representative Goldfogle toaddress the
gathering.
After stating that he had listened
with pleasure to the high words of
praise and commendatiOn bestowed by
the speakers on the management of the
hospital he said he had failed to note
that anyone had felt il necessary to
call the attention of the audience to
The purpose that had brought them to-
gether. This oversight on the part of
the gentlemen who had preceded him
reminded him of story.
When Lincoln was president Of the
United States" he said, "he took a
walk .down Pennsylvania avenue one
cold winter evening During his stroll
he met a poor. fOrlorn woman, thinly
clad, shivering with cold. When she
saw the President she mistook him for
Il minister. and. falling upon her knees,
with hands uplifted, begged his bless
ing, saying that she had three small
children at home starving and freezing
to DEATH She said: oh, Mr.. Minis
ter pray to the Lord to help me-
when she had finished President
Lincoln said: My good woman, it's
not minister that you need. You
need grocer and the president took
a card out of his pocket and gave her
an order for 800 worth of provisions.
The point was at once seen by the
audience, who appiauded loudly and
the result was liberal subscription to
the benefit fund for the hospital.

GREAT FORESTS OF CORK.
Home of the Evergreen Oak in Spain
and Portugal.


The cork forests of Spain cover an
area of $4,000 square miles, produc.
ing the finest cork in the world These
forests exist in groups and cover wide
belts Of territory, those in the region
of Catalonia and part of Barcelona
being considered the first in import
ance. Although the cork forests of
zEstremadura and Andalusia yield cork
of a much quicker growth and pos
sessng some excellent qualities, its
consistency is less rigid, and on this
account it does not enjoy the high
reputation which the cork of Cata-
lonia does.
In Spain and Portugal, where the
cork tree, or Quercas suber, is il
digenous, it attains to a height vary
ing from 35 to 60 feet and the trunk
to diameter of 80 to 36 inches. This
species of the evergreen oak is often
heavily caparisoned with widespread
ing branches, clothed with ovate OBJ
long evergreen leaves. downy under
meath and the leaves slightly serrated.
Annually, between April and May, it
produces a flower of yellowish color.
succeeded by acorns. Over 10000
square miles in Portugal are devoted
to the cultivation of cork trees,
though the tree virtually abounds in
every part of the country.
The methods in vogue in barking
and harvesting the cork in Spain and
Portugal are virtually the same. The
barking operation is effected when
the tree has acquired sufficient
strength to withstand the rough hand
ling it receives during this operation.
which takes place when it has at
tained the fifteenth year of its growth.
After the first stripping the tree is
left in this juvenescent state to re-
generate, subsequent strippings being
reflected at intervals of not less than
three years, and under this process
the tree will continue to thrive and
bear for upward of $50 years.
