Dynamite I'm Coal Mines.

According to United States Consul
Brunot, at St Etienne, local inventor
named Albert has produced a success
full apparatus for exploding dynamite
with safety In coal mines where gas is
present in dangerous volume, without
the use of electricity, the installation of
which Is always costly and subject to
disarrangement.
The instrument seems to cover the ex-
posed end Of the safety fuse, to fire it
and to receive all fame and sparks
thrown off without allowing any COM
munication with the atmosphere.
A copper tube receives the end of the
fuse TO depth of several inches. At
the other end of the tube is fixed per-
cussion cap, similar to those used in
toy pistols, and lying against the side
of the tube, which is pierced In Its turn
by a small hole. The distance between
the extending end of the fuse and the
percussion cap is only OF inch. The end
of the tube with the percussion cap is
introduced into another cylinder, also
of copper, which contains the firing
mechanism. To operate the apparatus
the tube containing the fuse is held In
the left hand, while with the palm of
the right smart blow is struck on the
button of the percutient. when the cap
explodes.
The gas produced by the fuse fills
the cylinder, says the Black Diamond,
but cannot escape outside, unless extin-
guished as the holes in the cylinder are
covered with metallic gauze. In prac-
| tice, the tubes are prepared outside, in
| the daytime, by the lamp cleaner, sc
that no stray percussion caps may be
| brought into the mine.

HanpY Homes of Poor.

Some OF the happiest and most ideal
homes where peace, contentment and
harmony dwell have been the abodes of
poor people. No rich carpets covered the
floors, no costly paintings were on the
walls, and there were no pianos, no
works of art; but there were contented
minds and unselfsh and devoted lives.
Each member of the family contributed
as much as possible to the happiness
Of all, endeayoring to compensate by
kindness and intelligence for the poy-
erty of their surroundings.

Elkins and Babcock and the rest Of us who
we're called Insurgents are ready to with
draw opposition; at least, l am. We find
that the people of the country are with
the president, and we will give the people
what they want. / understand that there
is practically no change between the treaty
proposed last year and the one now up for

DoRRE HOWARD RECOVERING
Dependent Hoy Lover IL Surviving
Wounds He COnfesses Were
seI~f-Inhicted.

Dorre Howard, the youth who shot him
self twice at the Arcade hotel Saturday
afternoon, is making satisfactory progress,
and yesterday morning was sufficiently re-
covered to make a statement to DR.. Powell,
the attending surgeon, in which statement
he substantially corroborated the story as
printed in The Bee, saying that the man
Walter w. DAILY was urging Wilhelmina
Sadler, the sweetheart of both, to go to
st. Louis as his bride and that he, Dorre,
felt that he could not bear to give her up,
yet did not wish to stand in the way of
her marrying one better able to provide
for her, so attempted self-destruction. The
boy further states that, in a way, he re-
grets having made the attempt on his life,
yet makes no promise not to repeat the
effort.
His father called at police headquarters
Sunday afternoon to ascertain II any charge
was to be preferred against the boy for his
attempt at his own destruction. He was
closeted with Acting Captain Dempsey for
nearly an hour, at the end of which inter-
view he said that he was fully satisfied
that the son had made the attempt alone,
and that he was not shot by another per-
son, which last rumor was reported to
police headquarters and Detectives Drummy
and Mitchell sent out to ascertain its fal-
sity or truthfulness. They learned, after
conversing with Miss Sadler, that she had
caused one of the bullets to go wide by
grasping Towards arm as the revolver
was discharged.
The detectives complain OF the secrecy
which clouded the shooting, as the matter
was not reported to them until In the early
evening.

ballots and dancers are all carried with
the company. but these additional super
numeraries are selected in each town, one
week in advance, for the impressive scenes,
especially the Mount Of Olivet and the am
phitheater after the chariot race.
The work OF the necessary drill was
taken up yesterday. Applicants were par
celed of into senatorial, military and popu-
lace groups, each group going under one

boys and girls make up the waiting throng
at the Mount; at another point some pose

OF the third chapter Of Acts; And He
took him by his right han and lifted him
up"
why" asked the speaker. when we are
so anxious to save the Indians and con-
vert the Mexicans in this country. do we
not give proportionate attention to the saw
ing Of the negro? Not only for the negro's
good, but for our own selves is It our duty
to save him. Left by himself. consider
what a terrible factor he would be for
the destruction Of this nation. 1t is our
duty to save this people, first because they
have souls; second. they are intensely
patriotic; third, they are an industrious
people: fourth, because they are afec-
~tionate; fifth. they are religiously inclined.
"In helping the black man we must first
help him iniustrially. Give him first an
Industrial education. Every mans first duty
TO his country and his God is to support
himself. Then give him a literary educa-
ton. At present there is one college
graduate among SO, 900. They need leaders.
They make good soldiers now, but always
they are under the command OF a white
man. They need people OF their own race
to lead them out Of bondage, and to set
an example to inspire them to higher
works. Then educate them spiritually. Give
them the benefits Of our Christian re-
ligion."
