Nine Little School Girls SmOth-

Filth.

Cine nnati, o Sept. %. School
closed today at Pleasant Ridge,
seven miles north of Cincinn att,
with the first quarter OF the session,
when nine, possibly ten, school
girls were suffocaied in vault
during the forenoon recess, and
over a score OF others narrowly es-
capped the same horrible death.
When recess was given about
thirty ot the smaller girls were in
the clubhouse assigned TO them,
when suddenly the floor gave way,
precipitating them into a vault of
filth. This vault is twelve feet
deep aud walled up with stone like
a well. There was four feet of wa
ter or filth, that would have been
over the heads Of the girls falling
in it singly, but those falling first
filed up he vault partly so that
others were not entirely SUBJ
merged.

The girls fell eight feet from the

The frame shelfov these vaults

without windows, and only one

She ran into the school building and
told the teachers what had hap

reinforced by the entire population
of the town, the police and FIRE de-

out on the ladders themselves were
rescued by Principal Simmerman,

went into the vault and kept bring

THE EIGHT HON. JOHN MORLEY.

Mill and MI Gladstone" When Mr.
Gladstone saw that he was to lose
Joseph Chamberlain lie determined to
attach Mr.. Morley TO his cause He
made him chief secretary for Ireland
and member of his cabinet. Thence
forth Mr.. Morley became his right
hand man in furtherinG the policy OF
self government for Ireland. No states
man was ever more faithful to his po-
litical leader than Morley to Gladstone.
But lie is no mere disciple. He is
himself Il strong figure. 1t could be
said of him If he were an American
that hc would rather be right than be
president, for he Will not surrender his
convictions for political eXpcGiency.
This was shown when lie was repre-
sent.ng in parliament Il borough in
which wage earnNrs We're powerful.
He had been very popular with them.
but an issue arose over the proposition
to enact an eight hour law, and Mr..
Morley found Lee COUld not advocate the
plan by which il was proposed to bring
the system into effect. To the labor
delegates who waited upon him he
refused 10 commit himself. and his
stand cost him his return to parlia-
ment. He was elected afterward from
another borough.
Mr.. Morley IS sad to lee the first Eng
lishman to step from an editors desk
to seat in a cabinet. 1t was in the
columns of Tie Pail Mall Gazette that
Mr. Morley first made his mark in poll
ties. In the house If Commons he IS
always listened - with great attentive
ness. His voice is clear. resonant and
musical.
In composition his addresses are
models of English. T. L. O'Corncr
once wrote: His speeches have done
more to ripen and educate English
opinion and TO rouse the English con
science than those Of any other living
man. Their lucidity. their fine diction.
their lofty appeal. often their poetic
imagery, have made them all sink deep
into the public mind
Many thought that Mr. Morley would
be MIR. Gladstone's successor as leader
Of the Liberal party. but tie choice fell
upon Lord ROsebery. Mr.. Morley is
HOW about sixty-six years OF age. liz
il gracious in manner and genial rs =
companion. tolerant and sympathetic.
patiently listening to others and slow
TO speak himself He is popular in
English society and is personally liked
even when his opinions are not.
When at home Mr.. Morley never per
mits himself to be interviewed. He
rarely goes TO the theater. and he loves
music and books. One Of his pecuIiari-
ties is that he is much opposed to bav-

Carnegie makes it point TO be pres

all night from Scotland in order 10
