A Lincoln Joke.

One Of Lincoln's visitors in the early
days of his administration says:
"He walked into the corridor with
us, and, as he babe US goodby and
thanked - for what he had told him,
he again frightened up for moment
and asked him In an abrupt kind Of
way, laying his hand as he spoke with
a queer but not uncivil familiarity on
his shoulder, You haven't such thing
as a postmaster in your pocket have
your
g. stared at him in establishment
and I thought little In alarm, as IL he
suspected q sudden attack Of insanity.
Then Mr.. Lincoln went on: You see, 1t
seems to be kind Of unnatural that you
shouldn't have at least postmaster In
your pocket. Everybody I've seen for
days past has had foreign ministers
and collectors and all kinds, and /
thought you couldn't have got in here
without having at least a postmaster
get into your pocket 1.-THE True
Abraham Lincoln"

which he has ceaselessly striven to de-

While still engaged in the laboratory
he studied bookkeeping and devoted
his evenings at home to the study of
chemistry. He later entered the Car

career was marked by a series of
steady upward advances until he sue

important achievement of Mr.. Corey
was the invention of the Carnegie re-

TO push DETROIT
New Organization Of Business
Men Is Launched.
OVER 200 CHARTER MEMBERS
Name: "Detroit Board of Commerce"
Mice Cash Balance to Start With
viii Put Other Boosting Cities to
Shame.

Detroit, Mich, July with an en-
thusiasm that was Enthusiastically gen.
uine, the Detroit Board of Commerce
was successfully launched last night,
when over 100 Of the charter members
met in the Hotel Cadillac to perfect
the organization and elect board of
officers. The movement has now at
tanned degree of force that surprises
its most sanguine promoters, who were
last night warmly thanked for their
efforts.
1t Is but beginning. Not only were
the ESQ charter members secured, but
the organization Is one to the good
And this is regarded as but a nucleus
around which will rally popular roll
call that will put the business organi-
cations of Cleveland and other boast
full cities to shame. With $4,000 cash
in the treasury, the organization has
registered its birth, got itself christ
ened and is now throbbing, vital
force in the life of Detroit.
The Officers.
M. j. Murphy, president of the MUIR
ply Chair company, was honored with
the presidency. George H. Russell,
president of the State Savings bank,
was chosen first vice-president; George
H. Barbour Of the Michigan Stove
works was made second vice-presi-
dent; w. p. Holiday, the paper box
manufacturer, was given the treasurer
ship, and Ryerson Ritchie, the Cleve-
land expert, was made secretary.
These also act as members of the
board of directors, of which the fol-

Smith, Harry L. Pierson, Antonio c.
Pessano, ]. j. Crowley, j. l.. Hudson

Its Future Work.
The merging of all the sporadic bust
ness organizations into one well-knit
body is now an accomplished fact and
the Detroit Board of Commerce will
hang out its single in the State Saw
ings bank building, advertising to all
the world Of business that the city is OF
one mind as to it's significance as a
metropolis. The movement is a dis.
tinctly popular one and by the APP
pointment of a hustling organizing
committee the membership is to be in.
creased to 1000 just as rapidly as the
business men can be acquainted with
the fact that to be out of the Board of
Commerce is to be a drag on the city
in its race for the supremacy of the
middle west.

when Max O'Rell came to Montreal
some years ago." said man from that
city to a Detroit Journal contributor,
1--WE fixed up little joke on him. We
had noticed how gracefully he could
unite caustic criticism with compli-
ment, faculty that enabled him to
say the sharpest things without offend
ing the people he was criticising. We
were going to put the faculty to test.
1--WE had him lunch with us, and
there were at the table besides himself
an Englishman, Scotchman, an Irish
man and a French-Canadian When
we got our guest off his guard we de-
handed an honest opinion of the differ
ent races we represented. AS the opin-
lon had to be given in the presence of
all four, the situation for him was a
rather delicate one. But it never SEEM
ed to trouble him, and he gave his opin-
ion without moments hesitation.
"'The Scotchman,' he said, and he
clinched his right hand tightly and
1retended to try to force 1T open with
lis left. THE Englishman'- and he
went through the same performance,
opening the hand at the end after an
apparent struggle. The Irishman'-
and he held out his hand wide open,
with the palm upward. The French
man and he made a motion with
both hands as If he were emptying
them on the table.
"There was not word Of explana-
ton, but we all understood thoroughly
and had a hearty laugh. Max OReii
had maintained his reputation"

FRIGHTFUL
Two Hundred and Thirty Miners
Lose Their Lives.
EXPLOSION OF FIRE DAMP
In Workings of Union Pacific Coal
Mine In Hanna, Wyo.-Forty-Eigh
Men Rescued--Lack of Fresh Air
flinders Rescue Work.

Hanna, Wyo., July Hanna was
the scene of terrible disaster at 10: 80
a. m. Tuesday, when an explosion Of
fire damp in mine No. of the Union
Pacific Coal company snuffed out the
lives of ga men, injured scores of
others and caused the destruction of a
vast amount of property.
The mine was not fired, but the ex-
plosion was terrific and completely
shattered the timbers of the main
shaft and numerous entrances, filing
the working with debris, and those of
the miners that were not killed out
right by the explosion were buried
alive. The explosion was heard for
many miles around ana attracted peo-
pie from adjoining settlements. Huge
timbers and railroad iron were hurled
300 feet from the mouth of the shaft
Supt. E. S. Brooks and a large force
Of men began at once the work of re-
moving the debris from the shaft that
they might reach the entombed min
ers. Their progress into the mine was
blocked by the foul gases and several
times they were forced to return to
the surface
The First Rescued.
All day the rescuing party worked.
About l o'clock in the afternoon four
men were taken out alive and a half
hour later they were followed by forty
two others. Many were unconscious,
but it is believed all will recover.
Two hundred and eighty-two men
went down in the mine at o'clock in
the morning and up to late hour last
night only forty-eight had been ac-
counted for. OF this number two are
dead. The rescuers were unable to
penetrate further into the mine as it
was necessary to make another open
ing to permit fresh air to reach the
lower levels.
The work is progressing slowly ow-
ing to the narrow space in which the
rescuers are compelled to operate, but
in few hours the mine will be opened
sufficiently to permit of deep explora-
tions and the rescue of the dead
bodies.
Hope Renewed.
Late last night party of rescuers
reached four mules that were alive,
and this caused renewed hope 1t is a
faint hope, however, for experienced
mine bosses and miners say that when
the imprisoned men are reached all
will be found dead Some of the min
ers who escaped said they saw twenty
dead bodies in entry No. IT, They re-
ported that many of the men were
crazed by the explosion and ran hither
and thither in the mine. Many could
have escaped, but they lay down, bur-
led their faces in their hands and gave
up the fight Of the ga dead about
IT'S were married and leave large FAM
lilies. About 100 were Finlanders, so

DENVER, Jan. 27.-An echo of the fierce
contest in Colorado over the United States
senatorship, just concluded by the re-elec-
ton of Henry NJ. Teller, is heard In the
action taken by the Republican central
committee of this (Arapahoe) county. Res
buttons were adopted by a vote of LOG to
10 condemning Philip b. Stewart, Frank e.
Cloudy and other anti-Wolcott leaders for
"conspiring with the Democrats for the de-
feat of the Republican party in the Col
orado Legislature" Continuing. the reso-
lutions say:
1--WE condemn them as Republicans Tor
the part which they have taken in carrying
out their unholy alliance and wicked agree
ment with our enemies in the election of
powerful and influential Democratic leader
to the United States Senate, who, with all
his great abilities and experience. will for
six years exert them against the policies OF
our President, Theodore Roosevelt, and
who will strenuousy endeavor to embar-
rass, hinder and obstruct all Republican
ate"
Mr.. Stewart, who was one of the most un-
yielding OF the anti-Wolcott leaders in the
fight, is credited with being the spokesman
of the administration in Colorado, and Mr..
Cloudy was the principal opponent of ex-
Senator Wolcott among the candidates in
his own party.
Attorney General Miller has given an
opinion that the election of Henry Nj. Tel
Ter United States senator is legal and
Governor Peabody will sign the certificate
of his election as soon as 1T reaches him.
