A Miracle In China,


Actors in China are very well paid.
but are much despised. No. actor or
son Of an actor, says the Chicago News,
can compete at the public examina-
lions for the literary degree which is
the doorway to public office, and con-
sequently the actors profession, when
once adopted, 10 vital to those who fol-
low 1t.
An English doctor was called to at
tend young actor whose leg was in a
bad condition from careless treatment.
The foot had been amputated as a re-
suit of compound fracture caused BY
q fall on the stage. Filth and neglect
had done the rest, and there was very
little chance Of the mans recovery.
STU the doctor felt justified In taking
that chance and therefore amputated
the mans leg. To the surprise Of the
doctor, the leg healed by first inten-
ton. and In few weeks the actor
was ready to resume work The doctor
lifted him with an artificial leg, and
his good fortune began.
He at once undertook part where
his leg was knocked of, to the horror
OF the audience. After the apparent
accident he was carried of the stage
and presently reappeared, walking as
well as before.
The Chinese are unfamiliar with ar
jtihcaai legs. and each time the dramat-
&c incident occurred they regarded It
% a miracle.

COLOMBIA MAKES READY.
Will Invade Nicaragua in Order to Hold
Both Canal Routes.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Whatever
doubt existed in Nicaragua as to the
intention of Columbia to carry out Her
threat to attack her as soon as her
own revolutionary movement had
been checked has been removed by
the receipt of advices of a semioficsal
character here that the Colombian
army officers at Panama and Colon
are steadily but quietly making ready
for an invasion of Nicaragua. =
It is stated further that there Is
double reason for the attack In the
first place, Colombia wishes to take
forcible possession of the Mosquito
strip, which would control both routes
available for an Isthmian canal, and
SO enable her to make her own terms;
and secondly, she must find congenial
employment for the Colombian sol
diers who have been fighting rebels
for four years, and cannot now. be
easily turned to ways of peace, and
would, it is feared, start a new reYo-
luton if not allowed an outlet for
their energies outside of Colombia
The advices are to the effect that
the officials in Managua are seriously
disturbed at the outlook and are cast
ing about for means to avert the at
tack by Colombia. IL

THREAT TO RENEW STRIKE.
Coke Brothers Miners Demand Reinstall-
ment of Union Men.

New York, Dec. 17.-More than A.
600 miners at Drifton, near Hazelton,
will go out on strike unless their en-
ployers adjust grievances they COM
plain of, says a dispatch from Scran-
ton to the Press. The shipment Of
coal to New York will be decreased
10000 tons day if this strike is de-
elared. The dissatisfied miners are
employed by Coke Bros & Co., the
large independent operators. They
say that the company has repeatedly
refused to re-employ all its union
miners.
District Presidents Duffy, Fahey and
Nichols, who are in this city, have
lad conference regarding the ques-
tion. Duffy upholds the attitude of
the Drifton miners, but the other dis
trict presidents, together with their
attorney representing the miners be-
fore the strike commission, are doing
their utmost to prevent a suspension
of work. They belive that the action
of the Drifton miners in declaring
strike before they see whether the
commissions intend to protect their
rights in their decision will have a
bad effect.

the part he took in the murder of
Nelson Bradshaw was tried Decem-
Der and 4, and a verdict of guilty
of murder in the first degree was en-
tered by the jury after a strong eff
fort for a lighter verdict. Upon the
action of the jury being announced to

degree. After the state had advised
in the matter the plea was accepted,
and the sentence of 20 years inflicted

MRS. GRANT DEAD.
Widow of Warrior President Succambs
to Heart Failure.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Mrs. Ulysses
S. Grant died at her residence in this
city at 11:17 o'clock Sunday night.
Death was due to heart failure, Mrs.
Grant having suffered for years from
valvular disease of the heart, which
was aggravated by a severe attack of
bronchitis. Her age prevented her
rallying from the attacks. Her daugh-
ter, Nellie Grant Sartoris, was the only
one of her children with her at the time
of her death, her three sons, who had
been summoned here, all being out of
the city. There also were present at
the bedside when the end came Miss
Rosemary Sartoris, grand daughter; !;
DIR. Bishop, one of the attending physi-
clans, and two trained nurses. Death
came peacefully, the sufferer retaining
consciousness practically to the end.
Julia Dent Grant was born January
26, 1926. She was married to U. S.
Grant August %, 1S48.
Four children were born to her
three sons. Frederick Dent, Ulysses,
Jr,. and Jesse, and one daughter,
Nellie.
The remains of Mrs. Grant will be
deposited in, the tomb at Riverside
park, New York, where those of her
husband now repose. Whether they
will be taken there Immediately or this
ceremony postponed for time could
not be ascertained tonight.

SNOW IN THE ROCKIES.
Fell Over Large Area and Is Gladly Wei
coined i'm Most Places.

Denver, Dec. 1.-THE entire Rocky
Mountain region from Northern Wyom-
ing to Southern New Mexico has been
visited by storm during the past SO
hours. The ground in the plateau
section is covered to depth of six
inches, while the fall in. the noun
tains has been much Heavier. The
greater portion of the precipitation
fell yesterday and last night. Today
about two inches of snow fell during
the morning in most sections of Colo
RADIO, but tonight the weather has
cleared. No snow fell in Western Wy
oming today, although around Chey-
enne and in the region Immediately
north of there light snoRfall was ex-
perienced. In Southern New Mexico
a light rainfall was reported, with snow
in the north. In some parts of Colo
RADIO, particularly in the San Luis val
ley in the south, the snow was the
heaviest for years.
For the past three years drouth has
visited the San Luis valley, and the
present moisture has brought rejoicing,
assuring as it does good conditions for
next years crops. Railroad traffic is
no serious interruption
as result of the storm, because of the
fact that the snow drifted but little.
For the same reason there ia no fear for
the safety of stock on the ranges, and
no losses have been reported. The
storm originated in Arizona, and the
temperature at no time has been un.
cold.

Crack Shots and Old Mountain Men from
Montana Will Join VenezueIans.

Butte, Mont, Dec. 1S.-It is stated
on what appears to be good author
ity that a filibustering party is being
organized in Butte to go to Venezuela.
1t is said, at least, that an alleged
Josh" story in the Inter-Mountain,
concerning party of Montana fill
busters, who are organizing to go to
Venezuela, is really based upon fact.
A number of Butte men have
already enlisted. The men conduct
ing the scheme are keeping it quiet,
but it is said at least one well-armed
company, all crack-shots, and old
mountain men, will go South in a few
days. A number of Spanish war vet
Grams and several veterans of the
Fenian invasion of Canada are among
the men enlisted.

Canal Dover, O., Dec. 16.-The CORFU
eating mills, the paint shop, the store

four mills on the west side of the
American sheet steel company's mills,

mainder in buildings and machinery.
A strong wind was blowing over the
burning pile toward the offices and the
machine shop. Fear that these, too,
might be doomed caused call for help
to be sent to New Philadelphia. The
fire engines from that city rendered
good service. The Offices, machine
shops, galvanizing department and the
mills on the east side are all that re-
main of this great paint.
The loss is partially covered by in
surance. A dozen railway cars stand
ing at tracks were consumed.

CONTINUE TO RUN TRANSPORTS.
Ludington Advising House Committee
Against Contract System.

Washington. Dec. 17.-Quarter-
master-General Ludington of the
Army, before the House committee on
military affairs, today advocated con-
tinuing the transport service under
the control of the War Department.
He said the cost of the service as now
conducted is about $4,000 less than
any of the estimates submitted by
private concerns, but said that in his
opinion it would be in the interest of
the soldier and service for the War
Department to operate its own line.
General Ludington, speaking of mat
ter of carrying private parties On the
Government transports, said the num-
Der was insignificant and that where
abuses had occurred in that direction
they already had been corrected.

ANOTHER SURPRISE.
MiddIemen Getting $11 to $12 Per Ton
for Coal While Poor Are Freezing.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 1S.-When the
coal strike commission met yester-
day Chairman Gray opened the pro-
ceedings by saying that the COM
missioners were impressed with the
spectacle of the little girls who were
before the commission yesterday and
testified that they worked all night.
He said the people of the community
and citizens of the commonwealth
should not let the incident pass with
out taking some steps to have the
Legislature of Pennsylvania serious
ly consider the enactment of a law
that will forbid the employment of
children at night. At the suggestion
of the commission the statements of
the wages of the fathers of two of
the girls were presented. One earned
more than $1,000 last year and the
other over 5000.
The miners sprung another sur
prise by presenting an individual
operator on the witness stand against
the operators. He was John G. Had
uOch, Ol "tIheSDdTTe, pIeSlu0Ht VI
the Plymouth Coal Company. Mr..
Haddock, in answer to questions put
to him by c. S. Darrow for the
miners, said he had been in the coal
business 35 years. His company op-
Grated the Black Diamond and Dod-
son mines near Wilkesbarre. He said
his company went into the hands of
receivers on March IA, and on No
vember IA trustees took hold of the
property.
Mr. Haddock then explained that
the miners ton, which runs from 2700
to 5000 pounds, was fixed years ago
so that the employer could get out
of the ton 224O pounds of pure coal
above the size of pea. Pea coal and
all sizes below that was waste. This
is now being utilized.
Regarding the price of Coal Mr..
Haddock said the middlemen in New
York are paying S11 and $12 a ton.
Judge Gray-"Do they pay the op
orators that price?"
"Possibly."

Caracas, Dec. 18.-The Governor of

When the combined fleets seized
the Venezuela ships at La Guayra the
German commander delivered to the
Venezuelan captains the following
document:
"By order of my sovereign and at

the German squadron in West Indian
waters, l, the commander of the PAN
ther, request you to lower your ships
flag Immediately and leave your ship
with your crew within ten minutes.
This is not a measure of war on the
part of Germany, but only with the
object of making provisional seiz-
ure of your ship in order to oblige
the Venezuelan Government to re-
cognize our just demands. In case
you disobey and wish to defend your
ship I shall be obliged to prevent you
from so doing by the discharge of
arms.

the Venezuelan ships have been OBJ
tained from an entry made in the
books of the signal men of the fort
ress at La Guayra. 1t is as follows:
Tuesday, December 9, 1870 night.
''The Adjutant called me to see if
knew the steamer Retribution of
the English Navy was towing the
steamers Crespo and Totune, of the
National Navy, three or four miles
north. I had heard four cannon shots
and saw the two steamers had disap-
peared and understood they had
been sunk by the Vineta and Retri-
button. At the end of an hour the
Retributfon returned to the harbor
alone"
The fact that the Retribution re-
turned to La Guayra alone two hours
after leaving with the captured ves-
sells was confirmed by English res
idents of La Guayra. Consequently
she did not have time to conduct the
Venezuelan ships to Curacao Or Trim
idad.
