NUT a SOUL ESCAPED.
Every Miner in the FraterviIle Collier,
>}s-.t '.~.5'. Is Dead, ~

Coal Creek, Tenn, May 21.-At 6
a. N. the bodies of "a victims of the
terrific explosion at the Fraterville
coal mine lay in the old Armour sup
ply store, ready to be dressed for bu-
rial. All of the bodies will be buried
in the Leach cemetery, just east of
town, on a little mound where the
United Mine Workers of America will
be asked to contribute fund to build
a monument to the dead and where
a section has been bought by them.
Women and children were present to
see the bodies and identify them if
possible. The burials began at noon,
as some of the bodies were torn and
charred and a hasty interment was alb
solutely necessary. AS result of the
terrible force of the explosion the
faces and heads of some of the vic
tins are torn as if they had been
pummeled. Two bodies have their
heads completely severed. 49,. f
Superintendent George Camp and
others, who worked all night, have
gone almost through the entire course
of Fraterville and Thistle mines and
are now, assured that the other missing
bodies are in the rooms and wings
leading from the main channels. Air
is being pumped into the mine, but a
sickening stencil has arisen from the
corpses inside and men find it almost
impossible to work without stimulants
Doctors are on the scene to render
any assistance, %.~,

thai hours before the time set they be-
gan focking here from all quarters Of
the city. Many were already before
the palace with the rising sun and
some even slept in the park to be cer-
tain not to miss this sight.
A portion of the plaza was kept clear
BY the police very early. The re-
mainder was packed with people, so
thick that the grounds seemed alive.
Soon all the side streets running
into the plaza were choked into a solid
mass of humanity, and every door and
window fronting the square was walled
in with faces, white and black, old
I'D young, male and female. Then
.uWds sought the roofs, overfowing
~ cry building that commanded a view
Of the flagstaff on the palace. AS far
as the eye could see the roof lines
were fringed with human freight. 1t
was sight to live forever in memory.
Drawn up below, in the open space
Of the plaza, were eight dismounted
troops of the Seventh cavalry, with
sabres at their heels. Their horses
were already on board the steamer
which was to take them back to the
United States.
Shortly before 80 a. M, those
who were to witness the ceremony be-
gan to arrive, in carriages, through a
street kept clear by the police. All
the naval officers were arrayed in full
uniform, resplendent in gold braid and
plumed chapeauX. The Cubans, gen
orally, wore black frock suits, white
waistcoats and silk hats. They formed
a distinguished looking assemblage as

The Book DeluGe.
Roswell Field, in Chicago Post.

Roswell Field, in Chicago Post.
Mr.. Halsey seems 20 be much exercised
over what he calls the literary deluge,'
and bemoans the fact that in England and
America over 11.O9O books are published
every year, and that of this number not
10 per cent. remains even as a memory at
the end Of twelve months. But what of
this? Why complain of a deluge Of books
when nothing in the Constitution or the
state laws cOmpels anybody to read them?
Book publishing is a useful and legitimate
industry. 1t stimulates the paper trade,
gives steady employment to a large force
of printers, proof readers, pressmen and
traitors. More than this, il gives a great
composition, of which most Of them appear
useful and laudable ends. OF the 1000
books there must be at least eleven which
are really worth while, and we have known
the number to rise 10 fifteen in a single
year. Let us have as many books as posi-
BILE. Three minutes intelligent study will
tell us whether any book is worth more
time. DR.. Johnson had the correct idea
when he said: you don't read your books
through, do your" 1t would seem hat Mr..
Halsey is one Of these painfully conscien-
tious gentlemen who think that they must
toll painfully through every page, because
il is a book. If that is his view no wonder
he complains of -"deluge' when a wiser
man merely regards it a gentle shower
from which he may protect himself if he
wishes.

Rochester Post Express.
The future OF this country is in safe
hands at last. There has been a rush TO
the rescue by Winston Churchill, historical
novelist. Everybody can sleep as peace
fully as the humidity will allow and Pres
ident Roosevelt may enjoy the delights of
Oyster Bay to the limit. If it were not so
exasperatingly hot, we would give three
cheers for Winston. Under the circum-
stances this ceremony will be postponed
until late in September. Let us instead
bark to the thrilling measures of his Eo-
merle harp as he sings, as he sings.
Winston Churchill is the modest and re-
firing author not only of Richard CarveI,"
but also of ''The Crisis which his publish
ing firm believed to be the great American
novel; at the time il fell I'm millions from
the press. Since then there has been a
great American novel published monthly
by this and other houses. Winston also
wrote a little story called 1.-THE Celebrity, "
which was more entertaining from a hot
weather point of view than his more elabo-
rate historical lungeS, but earnest efforts
are being made to forget it.
Now, The Crisis is a sort of sequel to
Richard Carvel' and in each story the
history of the country is toyed with in a
reader is requested to observe MIR. Churchill
with both eyes and all his ears. To an in
tcrvieWer he has coyly conided that "a
right conception of our history is what
Americans need at present in order 10 weld
them into one people and develop true pa
triotism."
AS the deep tones of this noble utter
ance goes crashing and thrilling through
our tingling nerves. it is with breathIess
emotion we read that, with this grand end
in view. Winston intends 10 write a series
of five novels dealing with American his
tory! In this patriotic quintet the two
already mentioned will be included.
Thus screams the eagle of freedom.
Many novelists would be content to an
nOunce that they were going TO make an
other stab at popularity with a new yarn
containing old names, but novel incidents,
hoping that as many readers as had the
price would purchase the same at the usual
discount given by frst-class booksellers.
Blu Churchill, never! No such dalliance
with drOss for him. II he can't save the
country with his pen and assault the flu
ture with ~rapid-fre calculations and long
range periods. he win refrain from increas-
ing the libraries Of the great hence. It's
just as easy to shout from the second
story window as ii is from the ground floor.
So here's to YOU, Winston! Go ahead and
save. In the meantime. eight hours will
constitute a days work n the sun will
rise as usual in the east.

American playwright is the one who has
grasped with appreciative intelligence The
requirement Of the American manage and

Mr.. Alden's wide experience as editor Of
Harper's Magazine places him in the posi-
ton TO speak with some authority regard
ing the relations existing between authors
and editors. In the August number of that
periodical Mr.. Alden will set forth some Of
his observations in the following interest
ing manner:
As the editor looks back upon the large
company Of contributors who have been
associated with him and with the manage
ment in shaping the destiny OF the maya
zine, he says, the most gratifying feature
OF the retrospect is the amenity OF the re-
latfonship. The ablest writer's are always
as a rule, most amenable to the natural de-
mands OF editorial management and the
most ready TO admit their reasonableness.

OF a contribution. The very fervor Of

overlOng and suggests stricter economy, the
author must of course be the judge as to
the demands Of his art, but we have always
found the lesser writer's the most unwilling

Sometimes, too, a contribution from the
best of writer's must be declined. and the
strain upon the relation between editor and
contributor is in such a case reduced 10 the
minimum. It is much more difficult for the
ordinary writer to understand the reason
