M,COY HAS HARD FIGHT.
Carter Knocks Him Down Five Times
 in Six Rounds

Philadelphia May 19.-"Kid' Mccoy was twice saved by the bell in six round bout with "Kid' Carter at In- dustrial hall tonight. He was knocked down five times and was much the weaker at the finish although Carter was badly punished. During the first round, Mccoy had all the advantage, but in the second he was floored by a blow on the jaw and would have been stopped but for the bell. In the third round he was knocked down three times, but again escaped a knockout. He recovered in the fourth, and al- though Carter again succeeded in put ting him to the floor Mccoy in turn had his opponent almost out In the fifth and sixth round Mccoy kept away from Carter's vicious swings, but he was ''groggy' at the finish and Carter, though showing more evidence of rough usage, had considerably the better of the bout.

CRUELTIES IN PHILIPPINES
CORPORAL O'BRIEN BEFORE
 SENATE COMMITTEE.
Present When Water Cure Was Ad- rnfnfgtsreu to the Prcsidemte of Ig- baras-Declares Army Officers Violated a Spanish Woman of fEducation-Very Dfsorderly Conduct of Other Officers fin Presence of Women Guests.

Washington, May 19.-Former Cor poral Richard O'Brien of North Adams, Mass, of Go. M, 26th Volunteers, who served in the Philippines for eighteen months. was before the senate commit tee on the Philippines to-day.
 Before MT. O'Brien took the witness stand Chairman Lodge laid before the committee a letter from General k. +. Hughes enclosing a letter from senator Culberson of the committee, to Captain V. 1T. Bridgeman of Baltimore, Md and a reply to that letter. In his letter Senator Culberson said he had been in- formed that Captain Bridgeman could give testimony of having heard General Hughes and other officers give orders for the administration of the water cure Captain Bridgeman's reply con- tained a denial of this report. General Hughes, in his letter, said that if there was to be an investigation it should be thorough and he enclosed a roster or officers in his command whom he said he would like to have summoned if his conduct was to be inquired into.
 General Hughes in his letter said: Il presume there were about 25,00O troops in my command, first and last and am certain that no one of them can truthfully assert that I ever consciously verbally or in writing, directly or indi- rectly, by sign or signal, authorized, in- structed or ordered any of them to use the so-called water cure, in any form or of any character whatever"
 Witness O'Brien said that he had been present at Igbaras when the water cure was administered to the presidente of that town and then made a charge of serious nature against the American of ficers. There was,' he said, "a Span ish woman in the town-a woman of education-who was violated by the American officers This statement was made without any questioning and as soon as the witness had made 1t Senator Lodge asked for the names of the officers. These, the witness said he could not give, adding that he had not witnessed the incident, but that the woman's husband was his authority for the statement.
 Senators Rawlins and Patterson ob- jected to the testimony as mere here say and urged that it should not go in- to the record. The witness then was asked if he could not give further proof of the correctness of his charge In response he related another in- stance of disorderly conduct which, he said, had come under his own observa- tion This occurred at San Joquin, the presidente of which place gave a recep ton to which a number of native wo-

MINE DISASTER
DEATH LIST NOW PLACED AT 175
 TO 225.
Only Ono Man Alive That Wont to Work in the Morning and He May Not Live-An Heroic Effort to Save tho Victfms-Indoscribabl Scenes at tho Mouth of the Mine.

Coal Creek, Tenn, May 19. - The
 worst disaster in the history of Tennes- see mining occurred at 7:30 o'clock this morning, when between 175 and 225 men and boys met instant death at the Fra terville oal mine, two miles west of this town, as a result of a gas explo- sion.
 Out of the large number of men and boys who went to work this morning developments at 10 o'clock tonight show that only one is alive, and he is so badly injured that he cannot live. This man was William Morgan, an aged Englishman. who was road man in the mine, and was blown out of the One hundred and seventy-flve miners were checked in for work this morning by the mine boss. In addition to these were boys who acted as helpers and drivers, road men and others to the number of perhaps fifty.
 Fraterville mine is the oldest mine in the Creek district, having been opened in 1870. It is fully three miles from the mines opening to the point where the men were at work. They had not been at work long before the terrible explosion occurred. There was @ fearful roar and then flames shot from the entrance and the air shafts. News of the disaster spread like wild fire, but as soon as possible two rescu-
 ing parties were started in, one at the main entrance, the other through Thistle mine, which adjoins, and where no men were at work. The Thistle party was unable to make any head way, as the gas stifed the workers. The Fraterville party went fully two miles under the earth, until a heavy fall of slate was encountered. At this barrier men worked like demons, hop ing against home that those beyond might be safe.
 The scenes at the mouth of the mine while the workers were within were
 
 suspended in Coal Creek and all it's mines, as soon as the news of the disas- ter became known, and men, women and children gathered around the Fra terville entrance. Women whose hus- bands and sons were within were wild with grief. All day long the rescuers toiled at the slate obstruction and not until 5 o'clock this evening did they force an entrance through it. Up to that hour only five dead bodies had been recovered and hope was still high that many within were safe. The hopes of the living were doomed, however, for when once the rescuers could enter and proceed they walked through a contin- uous tomb of death. There was not a sign of life, Every man had perished, they believed, although it will be to- morrow morning before all the rooms can be entered
 Eight dead bodies were first recovered and these were sent to Coal Creek. Twenty-six more were soon found. They were not disflgured beyond iden- tification, and each corpse, as it was borne trom the mouth of the gigantic tomb was surrounded by eager crowds of relatives of the men who were en- tombed. The mine was not on fire, ex- cept in remote portions and all bodies perhaps may be reached before day. light.

 Mines.
 The police commissioners held an ad- journed meeting last night and the most important business transacted was the reinstatement of M. J. Con- molly as a sergeant and the appoint ment oG Patrolman Seaman M. Smith to a sergeancy.
 Connolly was reduced from sergeant to patrolman in January after charges preferred against him to the effect that he was in a saloon after closing hours. The evidence showed that when he was on his way home in citizens clothes he stopped at Grand avenue saloon shortly after midnight and bought a sandwich for a lunch before retiring. The announcement of his reinstatement was received with much satisfaction by his friends last night. The reinstate- ment is to take effect June 1.
 The newly appointed Sergeant Sea- man M, Smith is one of the most effi- cient policemen In the department. He is a son of the late ex-Chief of Police Treadwell Smith and is forty-six years of age He was first appointed mem- Der of the department in 1887 when he began duty as a patrol driver. He was promoted to grade A, the highest grade for patrolman In 1894.
 The police board voted that if next Friday is a stormy day. the annual spring inspection of the department would be postponed to the next fair week day
 Detective Frey, representing the Po- lice Baseball association, appeared be- fore the board and requested permis- sion for the policemen's baseball team to play games with teams from other police depart ment teams from other cities this summer. The board decided to grant permission for four such matched games.

WHY NOS ulST EsSI

very few leope nosts are set prop
perry upon their faces Any observant
person who will go along the street and
take notice of the nasal organs of the
passerby may easily convince himself
on the subject. Not one individual in
hundred, whether man or woman, is
above criticism as to the arrangement
OF his or her nose.
One might think that nature is lit
tie careless about this matter When
the nose turns off at an angle instead
OF assuming it's just and proper atti-
tude, it tends, at all events in extreme
cases, to give disordered effect to the
features as whole. but if nature real
~ does not care which way a nose
points there ought to be as many noses
turned one way as are turned the 9TH
er.
But is this the case? Not bit of it.
AS you walk down the street look at
the people as they go by, and you will
discover that the noses of ninety-nine
out of every hundred turn to the right
When once YOU have begun to notice
this fact, it will constantly attract
your attention. In truth, the objec-
uon to starting in upon study of this
kind is that you cannot get away from
it afterward. 1t haunts you steadily
and persistently. Whenever you meet
a friend you look at his nose to make
sure whethe" it turns to the right or
not.
Now, the phenomenon being as de-
scribed, what is the reason behind it?
Why should nearly everybody's nose
turn to the right rather than to the
left? There seems to be only one way
to account for it, and that is that al
most everybody is right handed and
uses his handkerchief correspondingly:
SO from infancy to old age the nose in
the process of being blown and wiped
is persistently tweaked to the right;
hence as the infant passes through
childhood and later youth-when the
nasal organ is flexible and in process
of formation. SO to speak-it is obliged
gradually but surely to assume an in
clination eastward.
If this theory be correct, the noses of
left handed persons ought to turn GUS
tomarily to the left. Such, in fact, ap-
pears to be the case, but data or this
interesting branch of the question are
not sufficiently complete to afford a
final conclusion. - Saturday Evening

The Table Napkin.

considered almost indispensable, the
table napkin. was first used only by
children and was adopted by elder
members of the family about the mid
die of the fifteenth century. In eti-
quette books of an earlier date than
this among other sage pieces of advice
for children are instructions about wip-
ing their fingers and lips with their
napkins.
1t seems that the tablecloth was long
enough to reach the floor and served

they placed them first on the shoulder,

Black Sen Pecu1iaritfes.

The Black sea differs in most re-
markable manner from other seas and
oceans. A surface current flows con-
tinuously from the Black sea into the
Mediterranean and an under current
from the Mediterranean into the Black
sea. The latter current is salt and, be-
ing heavier than the fresh water above.
it remains stagnant at the bottom. Be
ing saturated with sulphuretted hydro
gen, this water will not maintain life.
and so the Black sea contains no living
inhabitants below the depth Of about
100 fathoms. The deeper water when
brought TO the surface smells exactly
like rotten eggs.
