In spite of all that may be said TO
the contrary, and despite all that the
fashionable papers and modlslcs may
tell one, the shirt waist has not gone
out of fashion and is not al all likely
to do so, for lla present. al any rate,
A separate waist IS quite TOO uSefuI
and even necessary an article TO be
done away with for mere Whlm
of Dame Fashion. II is quite true
that shir, waists are no longer a.
smar, as they once We're. and the bod
- ices that are now worn are more elaD'
crate than those seen a short While
ago. but nevertheless. for the light
suit. as we'll as short linen skirts, a
Separte waist will be not only correct
but perfectly in style.
Although ii has been declared thal
the separate shirt waist is no longer
considered as smart as a waist Of the
same material as the skirt. still, with
the tailored suil. any cloth waist
would be quite 100 warm for the sum
mer. so il is absolutely essential ton
the shirt waist to remain in vogue
Not, however, the comparatively sim

appropriate and smart enough for al
most any form Of afternoon wear
Now the waist should be made tC

r. MEN S%UFFOCATED
SUCCUMB TO FUMES FROM A 10.
CoMoTiVE WHILE PASSING
THROUGH TUNNEL.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 26.-A tele-
gram received at the Susquehanna
Coal company's Office in this city last
evening states that ten miners were
suffocatad by gas and sulphur fumes
from Z smau Locomotive Wednesday,
afternoon in the workings of the Sum-
NIT Branch Coal company at Williams
town.
The tunnel in which the disaster
occurred is one mile in length and is
used by the coal company to convey
the coal mined in the workings in the
Bear Valley to the breaker in the
Williams Valley.
About 4 o'clock p. m. General Inside
Foreman Golden and about fifty miners
boarded q loaded train which was
about to be hauled from Bear Valley
to Williamstown. Everything went
all right until about half Of the jour-
ney was made when some of the men
attracted the attention of the engi-
neer, who at once stopped and it was
found that nearly every man in the
party on the cars had been overcome
by the gas and sulphur which emanat-
ed from the stack of the locomotive
and 1oated back over them. The en-
gineer at once crowded on all steam
possible and the unconscious men
were hurried to the Williamstown end
Of the tunnel. Every possible effort
to resuscitate them failed.

TAKES HIS OWN LIFE
MAYOR M'LANE OF BALTIMORE
DRIVEN INSANE 1Y CRITI-
CISM AND WORRY.

Baltimore, May 31.-Mayor Robert
N. McLane of this city shot and killed
himself at his home Monday after
noon in his bedroom at his residence,
No. 20 West Preston street. His bride
Of less than two weeks was at the
time of the tragedy asleep in an ad-
joining room. and was awakened by
the discharge of the revolver, which
Mr.. McLane. evidently fired while
standing before the mirror of the dress
ing case. The bullet entered the right
temple and crashing through the head
escaped in the rear of the left ear.
Mrs. McLane and other members of
the household rushed to the mayors
assistance, but he did not regain
consciousness after he fell to the floor,
and expired within an hour.
No cause can be assigned for the
act by the members of MI. McLane's
family. Since the fire Of last Feb
ruary he has been kept a%ssiduously at
work administering the affairs OF the
city, besides endeavoring to direct the
rehabilitation and rebuilding of the
burned district. This, together with
criticisms by his political opponents,
are thought by many to have caused
a temporary alteration of mind.
Mayor McLane was thirty-six years
of age, the youngest chief executive
Baltimore ever had.
