favorite receipts. Mrs. Peter Martin
formerly Miss Lillian Oelrichs, is
devotee of the chatting dish. and in
vites her friends to the little suppers
where she presides over the chatting
dish with great skill. She has a re-
ceipt for cooking reed birds and potato
balls that cannot be excelled. Mrs.
John Jacob Astor loves salads and des-
serts and has discovered many new
combinations, the secrets of which she
will not disclose. Her pride is mac

tents are prunes, macaroons, whipped
cream and sherry. Mrs. Payne Whit
ney, formerly Miss Helen Hay, adds
to her literary ability a fruit salad
that is pronounced delicious. This
she makes of Malaga grapes, bananas

serves it in banana skins, with a mix
ture of French dressing and mayor
naise. Mrs. George B. DeForest loves
baked things, vegetables or fruits. One
OF her luncheon dishes is original and

WAR HAS BEEN AVERTED.
Russian Government Promises Liberal
COMPENSATION.

London, Oct. 31.-War between Rus
STA and Great Britain has been avert
ed and the settlement of the only
points in dispute regarding the attack
by the Russia second Pacific squadron
on British trawlers on October 81 has
been referred to an international COM
mission under The Hague convention.
Premier Balfour, speaking at meet
ing Of the National Union of Conser-
vative clubs at Southampton broke the
silence which had been so long pre-.
served and had brought the people of
the United Kingdom to a condition
OF almost desperate irritation, and had
given rise to misconceptions which
Mr.. Balfour tonight exposed.
THE Russian ambassador" said Mr..
Balfour. has authorized statement
to the effect
Inc RUSSIAN government on hear
ing of the North sea incident. at once
expressed its profound regret and also
promised most liberal compensation.
The Russian government has ordered
the detention at Vigo of that part of
the fleet which was concerned in the
incident, in order that the naval au-
thorities might ascertain what officers
were responsible for it; that those Of
hcers and any material witnesses
would not proceed on the voyage to
the Far East; that inquiry would be
instituted into the facts by an inter-
national commission as provided by
the Hague convention"

RECEIVED BY EMPEROR.
Acute Situation But Capable of Civil
Adjustment.

London, Oct. 29-The situation
growing out of the action of the Rus
sian squadron in sinking the British
trawlers is described in today's dis
patches as acute, but still capable of
satisfactory adjustment The eagerly
awaited report of Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky has been received by the en-
peror. but his explanation only serves
to increase the mystery and throw
an additional sensational feature into
the affair. He said that he was at
tackled in the darkness by two torpe-
do craft, which came from the direc-
ton of the fishing fleet, and that, if
the fire he directed against the tor
pedo boats struck the trawlers, it was
accidental, and expressed his warm
regret of the occurrence.
Russian dispatches place much
stress upon the report as giving an
entirely new aspect to the situation
and point out that the skipper of the
trawler, Moulmein, in an interview on
Sunday night, said that two torpedo
vessels approached the feet and that
firing followed. The report of Carr,
the admiral of the fishing fleet, how
ever, made no mention of this Incl.

PHANTOM FOES.
Russian Officers, Panic Stricken, Made
an Awful B!under.

London, Oct. 2S.-There is no sign
as to when Admiral Rojestvensky's re-
port will be made public, but if unof-
fetal reports should turn out to reflect
the admiral's official report, it is evil
dent that the Russian officers made an
extraordinary blunder in MISLEADING
trawlers for torpedo boats and fired
on their phantom foes. This aston
ishing explanation is regarded here as
not fitting i'll with the state of panic
suggested as having prevailed among
the officers of the Baltic fleet; and in
that case it is suggested that the Rus
sian government should find no diff
Guilty in removing or otherwise pun
ishing the officers responsible.
The newspapers this morning evince
more heat and Impotence than here
tofore at Russia's delay, which is con-
sidered absolutely indefensible in the
present circumstances.

EXPLOSION IN MINE
Many Bodies VIII be crsmaied Under
Ground.
BETWEEN THIRTY AND SIXTY.
News of the Terrific Explosion Has
Brought Assistance From the Ada
cent Camps and Hundreds of Miners
are TrIns TO Get into the Mine.

Trinidad, Col, Oct 31.-The most
terrific explosion in the history of
coal mining in Colorado occurred at
Mine No. of the Rocky Mountain
Fuel and Iron company at Teroio, ten
miles due west of Trinidad, and the
number of dead is variously placed at
between thirty and sixty men. The
number reported as having gone into
the mine was seventeen miners and
four company men. This afternoon
many more miners are known to have
gone into the mine. and the exact num-
Der Of the dead may never be known.
as the mine is still burning and in all
likelihood the bodies will be cremated.
A large number of mine officials left
here as soon as word of the accident
was received. Company doctors were
picked up all along the line as we'll
as other available physicians. United
States Government Stock Inspector
F. ]. brennan was at Teroio when the
explosion occurred. He returned here
tonight and gives the following &C
count of the affair:
L was standing not more than 800
yards from the mouth of the tunnel
when the explosion occurred. The ex-
plosion was proceeded by low rum
bling sound resembling an earthquake
which made the earth tremble and
startled the whole camp.
Immediately after the explosion
which was for all the world like a
volcanic eruption, came the widest
excitement. Women, men and children
rushed to the mouth of the tunnel,
and women whose husbands were in
the mine had to be brought away by
miners to keep them from being killed
by deadly fumes coming from the
mouth of the tunnel.
THE mine in which the accident
occurred works eighty men and it is
believed that at least sixty men were
in the mine at the time.
News of the explosion brought as
sistance from the adjacent camps and
tonight hundreds of men are trying
to get into the mine. Deadly fumes
overcome the rescuers, frequently, but
their places are Immediately taken
by others ready to risk their lives
1t is not thought possible that anyone
in the mine can escape death if they
are not dead already.
1T will be impossible to secure the
names of the dead and injured to-
night. Nearly all the miners employed
are Slavs. The mine is a new one, op-
ened only year ago, and extended
1000 feet into the hill. The explosion
is supposed to have been caused by
dust. Only one body has been recov-
cred, that of T. Duran, a driver, who
was just entering the tunnel when the
explosion occurred. He was torn and
burned almost beyond recognition. All
mines within radius of twenty miles
have been shut down and the miners
are on the way to assist in the res
cue of the bodies"

Oisobedient Patient Was Not ShreWd
Enough to Deceive Doctor.
The patient was feeling so much
better that she insisted on rising with
the family and dressing. After break
fast her daughter declared that she
must undress and get into bed, as the
doctor had ordered that she stay in
bed three or four days.
There! l see the doctors carriage

I'll keep the doctor talking until you

she said.
But l assure you it is,' said the
physician gravely.
Then the patient began to giggle.

RUSSIA'S LAST DAY
VIII Have to Hurry Reply to Great
Britain.
WARsHIps READY TOR THE SEA.
Claims They Thought They Were Fir
ing on Torpedo Roats-No Official
Report of the Episode Has Yet Been
Made Public.

London, Oct 2S.-Tension increases
as time passed without definite settle
ment of the situation created by the
Russian blunder in North sea. Am
bassador Benckendorff's tentative CON-
munication to Foreign Minister Lans-
downe, and the fact that this was re-
garded as unsatisfactory, only served
to inflame the public mind; and while
official circles are giving out intima-
lions that it is their confident belief
the whole matter will be satisfactorily
arranged, it is now quite evident that
only short time will be allowed Rus
STA in which to give final and COM
plete assurances of her intention to
comply with any and all demands
Great Britain may make within reason.
The arrival of Admiral Roiestvensky
at Vigo and the certainty that he is in
direct communication with his govern
ment removes at once the possibility
of any delay on account of the inabil-
ity of Russia to get his side of the &C.
currence of the night of October 81.
With this official version before the
Russian government, together with
the official statement of the members
of the fishing fleet, it is unlikely that
the British public or the British gov
eminent will allow another twenty
four hours to pass quietly without re-
ceiving satisfactory reply to the note
which demanded a quick answer
Meanwhile the admiralty iS NOT i1lo
Reports from all naval stations show
that a tremendous state of activity
exists. This is especially true of Gil
braltar, from which place it is an
nounced that some of the best of Great
Britain's war vessels are under orders
to proceed in the direction of the Bal
tic squadron, and that all ships of the
British channel fleet are ready to go
to sea at moments notice.
Hitherto there has been no Indication
that a time limit had been set by
Great Britain for Russia's reply to her
demands, but the fact that three bat
tleships and three cruisers are under
orders for the morning of October %
is construed in some quarters to mean
that Great Britain will not wait Ion
ger than that before unleashing her
sea dogs, while it is also evident that
the Russian cruisers and smaller boats
Of the Baltic squadron may find diff
Guilty in passing the gateway to the
East unless the crisis is completely
over by the time they reach the en-
rance to the Mediterranean.

Cured Her rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa. Oct. 31.-(Spe-
cial.)-There is deep interest in Green
county over the cure of the little
daughter of l. N. Whipkey of Rheu-
matism. She was great sufferer for
five or six years and nothing seemed
to do her any good till she tried Dodd's
Kidney Pills. She began to improve
almost at once and now she is cured
and can run and play as other chill
dren do. Mr.. Whipkey says:
81 am indeed thankful for what
Dcdd's Kidney Pills have done for my
daughter; they saved her from being
a cripple perhaps for life
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved
that Rheumatism is one of the results
of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is
caused by Uric Acid in the blood. II
the Kidneys are right there, can be no
Uric Acid in the blood and conse-
quently no rheumatism. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills make the Kidneys right.

Avoid the Cheap and big Can" Bak-

The cheap baking powders have but one
recommendation: they certainly give the pur-
chaser plenty of powder for his money. These
powders are SO carelessly made from inferior
materials that they will not make light, whole
some food Further, these cheap baking
powders have a very small percentage Of leaven
ing gas; therefore 1t takes from two to three
times as much of such nowder to raise the cake
or biscuit as it does of Calumet Baking Powder.
Therefore, in the long run, the actual cost to the
consumer of such powders is more than Calu-
met would be. Cheap baking powders leave
times yellow and alkaline, and always unpala-
table. They are never of uniform strength
and quality.
Why not buy perfectly wholesome baking
powder like Calumet, that is at the same time
moderate in price and one which can be relied
upon? Calumet is always the same, keeps in
definitely and gives the cook the least trouble
