Here is something worth knowing:
When splinter has been driven deeply
into the hand it can be extracted with
out pain by steam. Nearly fill a wide
mouth bottle with hot water, place the
injured part over the mouth and press
tightly. The suction will draw the
flesh down and In minute or two the
steam will extract the splinter
and inflammation ogether.-Ponca

Pensacola, Fla, April ia dis
astrous explosion occurred On the bat

at target practice In the gulf. The for
ward port 12-inch gun burst from a
premature explosion of the shell. One
side Of the turret was demolished.
Three men were killed and five injured.

The killed are:
FIRST CLASS SEAMAN KIELE.
ORDINARY SEAMAN PERCELL.
GUNNER'S MATE BERRY.
The injured:
First Glass Seaman Caught.
Ordinary Seamen Thursdale, Brown.
Mansdale n Purcker.
The men killed and injured were on
the second or gun deck at mess. Three
pieces Of the exploded gun each weigh.
ing over a ton, passed downward
through the spa deck, falling upon the
men at mess, instantly killing the three
men named. All were horribly mutt
lated.
The heavy missiles after passing
through the gun deck continued down
to the third deck, where they came in
contact with the armored deck, the
heavy steel bringing them to q stop, thus
saving the engineers and firemen, who
were at work below. Although the
upper decks were covered with men
no one there was seriously hurt.
The injured men were taken to the
hospital and their injuries dressed.
The dead were brought to Pensacola.
Some claim the explosion was caused
by a defective shell, and others think
the frequent firing OF the pieces at
Culebra during the winter, added to the
work done here during the past ten
days, SO strained the piece that the
force or the charge burst the gun.

Philadelphia, April 1.-THE numerous
small strikes In the anthracite coal re-
gion resulting from the disagreement be-
tween operators and miners regarding the
strike commission ruling on the number
of hours to constitute a days work has
brought forth a letter of Instructions from
President Mitchell.
District officers of the miners union are
in receipt Of a communication from Presi-
dent Mitchell calling upon them to end all
strikes and induce the men to return to
work. If the strikers refuse to do so Mr..
Mitchell suggests that a grievance COM
mittee representing the colliery employees
be appointed to confer with company Of
fcers in an effort to adjust the differ
enCes.
At the Maple Hill colliery of the Read
ing company, near Mahanoy City, run
ners, leaders and door tenders yesterday
joined the striking drivers, and about $50
men are idle. The drivers have estab-
lIshed the picket system and the company

Drivers Strike Rather Than Bride tsa

Altoona, Pa, April 1.-THE question
Of whether or not a bride is part of a
set Of harness has caused u strike of
/, 200 bituminous miners at the thirteen
operations Of the Beech Creek Coke and
Coal company aC Patton, Cambria
county, and Arcadia, Indiana county,
will remain idle. The drivers at these
mines say a bride is part of the har-
ness, and since the Altoona convention,
which stated that drivers shall not har-
ness or unharness the mules, they re-
fuse to put the brides on.
Yesterday morning they, found the
mules all harnessed save fthe brides.
They refused to touch the brides and
struck. The miners, Therefore, could
not work.
Mine superintendent Lingle held sew
eral futile conferences with the strikers.
The superintendent claims a bride is
no more a part of a harness than a
hat is a part of a suit of clothes.
