HERBERT SPENCER.

Spencer's illness. He was born in 1920.
The newspapers all publish long ap-
precautions and anecdotes of Mr..
Spencer, whom they universally de-
scribe as the last of the great thinkers
of the Victorian age"
Short Sketch of His Life.
Herbert Spencer, whose work as sci
enlist, philosopher and author gave him
front rank among the great men of his
time, was SO years old, having been born
at Derby, England, in 1920. In early life
his health was delicate, and only the
careful nursing of his father preserved
his life in boyhood. His early education
was by private tutors. Both his father
and grandfather were schoolmasters,
and much of the authors powers of ap-
plication and concentration he inherited
from his parent, who was known as
remarkable man. When his condition
of health admitted Of the change, Her.
bert was sent from home to live with
his uncle, Rev. Thomas Spencer, a
clergyman of the Church of England,
under whose instructions he profited
greatly. At II years of age he began
life as a civil engineer, but abandoned
it after eight years, and after having
contributed several papers to the litera-
ture of his profession. When 20 years
old, in 1912, he published series of
letters on the proper sphere of govern
ment, and when, in 1916, he gave up civil
engineering, he adopted literary work
as a profession. From 184S to 1852 he
was on the Economist, London paper,
in which Social Statistics" perhaps his
most popular work, was published in
the serial form. His contributions to
the Westminster and other quarterly
reviews have been frequent. In 1860 he
began his great work on "A System of
Synthetic Philosophy" which was pub
lished in ten volumes and took 40 years
to finish. Mr.. Spencer was never mar
ried. For many years, to the end of
his life, he made his home in Brighton,
on the south coast of England. He cared
little for society, his only recreation be-
ing salmon and trout fishing.

FIGHT WITH COAL GUARDS
Four Striking Miners Shot Near Sc
gundo, Colorado.
One Dead and Two Others PrOba bly,
Fatally InJured-Cause of
the Trouble.

Trinidad, Col, Dec. 9.-Four striking
coal miners, Italians and Sicilians, were
shot in the fight Monday night at the
Segundo coke ovens with the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company's guards. One
is dead, another is dying, third, shot
in the groin, will probably die, and the
fourth, who was shot in the wrist, is
in jail. There were seven in the party,
three of whom escaped. Strikers assert
that all the shooting was done by the
guards, who, however, say that the min
ers opened the fire. None of the guards
were wounded.
Previous to the fight party of five
nonunion men was ambushed while
proceeding from Berwind to Primero
under the guidance of Tom Jennings,
brother of the superintendent of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company's
mines at Berwind. None was hurt and
Jennings gave an alarm. Armed guards
soon fastened from Segundo and Pri-
nero to cut off roads leading into the
old town of Segundo. Seventeen men
were seen coming down to the hills from
the direction of the ambuscade, and
when the leader was ordered to halt all,
according to the guards, opened fire.
