escaped. Fourteen are known to be
dead. State Mine Inspector Owen
says that he considered the Lawson
one Of the safest mines in the State,
and that the explosion must have re.
suited from carelessness Of some one.
Two years ago the mine was supplied
with the locked safety lamps and
since that time every precaution had
been provided against such disaster
as has just occurred.

PRESIDENT Roosevelt, at Cincinnati,
stated that tariff reduction on trust
made articles would injure the smaller
competitors of the trusts who manu-
facture the same articles. This arxu-
ment was answered several months
ago by Chairman Babcock who then
proved that every company manufac.
turing steel, for instance. was paying
inordinate profits as . result OF the
tariff schedules, and that the abolition
OF the tariff on steel would not drive
one OF them out of business.

Cause and Effect.

1t is hard dilemma in which the
Democratic party finds ITSELF Without
hard times the party cannot win, and
there can be no such calamity until it
does win.-Er.
1t strikes us that q very respectfully
sized calamity" is on just now, and it
has been on long enough to create the
most lively apprehension of suffering
all through the New England and
Middle States the coming winter,
which is now near upon us. The
strike is directly traceable to the AFRO
gance of capital, and were the opera.
tors to submit now, it would be i'm
possible to reinstate the former price
of coal before it becomes a prime
necessity for heating as we'll as cook
ing purposes. No strike has ever
equaled it in duration or the num-
Der of people involved, or in dis.
astrous consequences, and there does
not yet seem to be any hope of a
compromise. Coal now retails in New
York at SIS per ton and is scarce at
that, only a limited supply being avail.
able to customers. On the eastside
part OF the city, the World reports that
coal has been sold by the shovel-full at
the rate OF $27 per ton. Schools we're
closed and people went to bed to keep
warm. The Secretary of the Coal Ex-
change says that the prospect could
not be more gloomy, and that it is
seriously contemplated to deliver coal
with police escort to keep it from
being taken from the wagons BY
force.

proach TO Democracy, that the masses

The boast OF good times is extremity

for the latorer, or the producer, than
they have been, nor 80 good for the

no gift OF prophecy, we simply say,
wait and see.

that he would rather vote for some

did not want and be successful. This

HE LOVED ANIMALS
LANpsgER's CHARACTERISTICS.
Great English Painter Was on Inti.
mate Terms With the Animals
He Painted.

Conrad Cooke, the son of a distin-
guished English painter, says he used
to hold the paper while Sir Edwin
Landseer drew one animal with his
right hand and a different animal with
his left. writes j. A. Manson in "Sir
Edwin Landseer, r. A" This species
of dexterity comes from practice, no
doubt, and is akin to the adroit ma
nipulation of the accomplished plan
list, but is nevertheless extraordinary,
and several cases are recorded in
which Sir Edwin fairly astounded the
onlookers by such displays of manual
skill Two instances of well-applied
facility are related by Vernon Heath.
Once while staying at Arlington
house, Robert Vernon's place near
Vantage. Landseer consented to go to
church. AT luncheon he was asked who
had preached. Really. l don't know,
but it was someone like this" and he
sketched the priest in a few adroit
strokes. why, that's Mr.. Blank"
said Vernon Heath. His living is
nine miles off and don't think he has
ever preached here before. l know
him only from seeing him at meet of
the old Berkshires. But that's the
man, sure enough" At Arlington a
billiard table stood in the hall and one
day during a game Landseer went
across to the blackboard which screened
the CRATE and drew upon it in chalk
life-szed head of a royal stag.
When Mr.. Vernon saw it he was so
enchanted that he had a sheet of
plate glass placed over the board.
which he forbade being taken to the
hall any more.
An intimate friend of his gave a
most instructive account of Landseer's
ways with animals. He had a strong
feeling" she wrote. against the way
some dogs are tied up; only allowed
their freedom now and then. He used
to say a man would fare better tied
up than a dog because the former can
take his coat off, but dog lives in his

without daily exercise goes mad or
dies in three years. His wonderful
power over dogs is well known. An
illustrious lady (whom we shall ven-
ture upon Identifying as Queen Vic
toria) asked him how it was that he
gained this knowledge. BY peeping

WHY GIRLS PREFER THE SHOP.
They Have Greater Freedom Than In
Domestic Employment.

The Labor Bureau of the state Of
Wisconsin has been investigating the
subject of feminine labor and collect
ing reasons why girls prefer work in
factories and stores to household SER
vice. Inquiries were sent to 769 per-
sons. Among the answers were these:
If ladies would only give girls bet
ter rooms, kinder treatment and
warmer beds and let them live inde-
pendently more girls would do house
work.
l love housework, but, like a host
of other girls, refuse to do it under
present conditions.
The reason l won't do housework
is because | will not be treated like
half a slave and always a nobody.
None of the girls l know would do
housework because a girl who does
it is always looked upon as kitchen
drudge. always on duty and seldom
treated justly.
l am treated better in the factory
in every way and. besides, l am no
longer obliged to entertain in the
kitchen or receive my friends at the
back door, since l can live at home
with my own people.
