is declared little short of an outrage.
This of course applies to those who

M'GRATH IS DEAD.
One of Last Presidents of Farmers
Alliance Passes Away.

Frank McGrath, state parole officer,
died at the Elnora hotel. Lansing, on
Wednesday afternoon, after a long ILL
ness. Mr.. McGrath never fully recov-
cred from a bad fall which he sustain
ed onsthe steps of the postoffice in To-
peka last winter, when starting out to
take a prisoner to the federal prison at
Leavenworth.
It is probable that his son, Lee Nc
Grath, will be named as his successor
in the position of parole officer. He
was appointed some time ago to this
place by Governor Hocn, to serve dur
ing his fathers illness.
Before taking the appointment of
parole officer. Frank McGrath had
been serving as deputy United States
marshal. He had the benefit of long
experience as sheriff of Mitchell coun-
ty, and bore the reputation of being
absolutely dauntlesS in the face of dam
ger Many interesting stories are told
of the thrilling single-handed captures
| of gangs of desDeradoes effected by
McGrath during his services as an Off
Ger of the law. At one time he pur-
sued a gang of four train robbers for
| a long distance alone. When he final
ly came with Them. they were eat
ing dinner in the woods. They did not
know him, and he joined with them in
the meal, after which he calmly cover
ed the bunch with a brace of revolvers,
and marched them single file ahead of
him to the nearest town, where he had
| them disarmed.
| McGrath was prominent in state
politics. He was one Of the organizers
of the PopuIist party, and was the
man who made the first Dou for the
Populists in the Sixth district. He was
chairman of the Sixth district commit
tee and his poll was wonder of ac-
lcuracy.
It showed that the district would give
/ certain majorities, and when the ballots
were counted McGrath's figures were

Dust Danger in Mines.

From the London Times.
At q recent meeting of mining engineers
held in Leeds, w. H. Pickering British
Dust Danger The Importance Of dust as
factor in colliery explosions was. he said.
now generally recognized and understood.
Provisions had been introduced in the coal
mine regulation act regulating the use of
explosives In dry and dusty places, and the
Observation-Disclosures mines order had been
issued by the home secretary In a few
mines dust was systematically laid by
watering. but no widespread effort had
been made to strike at the root of the dam
ger. Permitted explosives were only rela-
lively safe, for each one of them was capa-
BILE of initiating an explosion under certain
conditions, and 1t could not be too often re-
peated and emphasized that dust explo-
sion could be started in other ways than by
an explosive. Ignition of fire-damp might
result from a naked light or from a dam
aged or defective safety lamp, or from a
spark from a pick or an electric spark, and
this might be magnified by dust into a
great explosion. Dust also increases the
danger of underground fires. Obviously, the
only radical way of remedying the danger
was to keep the mines free from coal dust
by cutting off the supply or by other means.
AS long dusty roads were allowed in
mines the coal industry was under the dark
shadow of a coming great disaster. The
looming danger was recognized by all, and
he submitted that this period of peace and
immunity was the time to take practical
steps to avoid the danger He believed a
discussion would show that 1t was reasona-
bly, practicable to keep moist mines COM
paratively free from dust that was danger
Gus, anu this freedom would conduce to
safety and to health and comfort as well.

Craze for Antiques.

From the Chicago News.
Since the craze for antiques has reached
the west 1t would be hard to find home
among even the moderately well-to-do, to
say nothing of the wealthy class. that does
not boast Of at least one or two pieces OF
old bric-a-brac, silver. brass, pottery or
tapestry. That those same things might
have been relegated to the ragbag a Few
years ago does not matter In the least.
They are old. therefore valuable, ana the
older the better. For the average collector
fifty or hundred years does not count IN
the least. A thing to have any value must
have been made at least 200 or 3Oo years
ago. And If along with its accumulation or
years 1t has an interesting history all the
better. but 1t must have age.
There are many curio collectors among
Chicago people. Some OF the weather
bring back hosts of beautiful and costly
things every time they return from Europe,
while others do not care to use the time
collecting while away, and to these the
little curio shops in the larger cities appeal,
and. incidentally, do thriving business.
So great has been the demand for old
fashioned jewelry candlesticks. laces and
bric-a-brac that within the past year nu-
merous shops have sprung up that deal al
most exclusively in these things. Right in
the heart of the shopping district there are
half a dozen such places where one ma
buy curios from all parts of the globe. One
little shop on the north side which makes a
speciality of engravings, miniatures and
brasses has a large patronage from the
society women of the city. who are fond
of ancient curios. but do not care to devote
the time to buying them while abroad

Italian Ambassador Investi-

TRAGEDY AT LORTON
FEAR OF FURTHER TROUBLE NOT

Police Aiding in Search for
Information.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
ALEXANDRIA, Va, April 10.-The visit of
Baron Mayor des Planches. the Italian am
bassador to the United States, to this city
Saturday afternoon to make inquiries into
the circumstances connected with the dea III
of Joseph Leanto. the Italian subject who
shot George A. Malcomb at Lorton, Fairfax
county. last Thursday, is being discussed
with deep interest in this city. The tragic
affair at Lorton. resulting in two deaths,
had attracted unusual attention and had
caused grave apprehension of further trou-
bic. The fear that some of the friends of
Ieanto In the railroad camps, entertaining
the opinion that their fellow countrymen
had been unfairly dealt with, might seek
means for summary revenge, gave the
authorities in the vicinity of Lorton con-
siderable concern. This was shared In some
measure by the police of this city by reason
of the fact that hundreds of Italian laborers
are employed the railroad construc-
ton around Alexandria. In fac, a continu-
Gus chain of construction camps extends
from this city to the scene of the double
tragedy in Fairfax.
So far as is ascertained, nothing has oc-
CURED up to the present to bear out the
apprehension of the authorities. To his in
quiries respecting the general reputation of
the Italian laborers in this section of the
country. Chief James +. Webster of the
police force replied that it was good. Chief
Webster informed the ambassador that
only one Italian prisoner has been in the
city Jail in a long time. In answer to ques-
lions the chief also stated that 1aborers of
that nationality employed around Alexan-
dria are noted for their industry and at
tention to business. While the Italian rep
resentative made no specific statement as
to his mission to this city. Captain Webster
said his purpose was clearly indicated by
the line of his remarks and questions. He
was apparently satisfied with the result of
his visit. but Captain Webster made it
clear that the local department. not hav-
ing jurisdiction over the scene of the af-
fair, could furnish only collateral facts.
