The Folly OF 1t.


About ninety out Of every hundred
murders, the world through, are done
by habituaI drinkers when drunk. In
some countries the proportion is less,
in others greater; in none does it fall
below eight in the hundred For 9TH
er crimes the statistics are less COM
pIete; but we know that the crimes
are all plotted in the dives and dens
that flourish through the drink habit
Finally, the whole business issues
from the instinct for sOciability. Two
friends meet and wish to have a talk.
The convenient place is the saloon;
the natural aid to free conversation
is drink
1t is a stupid performance. Moth
ing is worse for the general fibre of
the body than gulping down liquids,
other than Whitewater being one of
the two great free natural foods of
the body To drink soft stuffs'' or
hard is more or less to poison and
debilitate ones self.
The remedy? 1t is the universal
remedy-the spread Of good sound
commOn-sense, enlightened by knowl-
edge Of the constitution Of the body
and the value of, and the ease Of,
health 1t is not easy to induce men
to stop things because they are mildly

help and the committee on arrange

brought the word that Rev. Edith Hill

was a great disappointment, but the
plan for union meetings has not been
given up. Another leader is being

foundation stones of his prosperity:

Where German Towns Excel.

Towns which half century ago
were famous only for their galleries or
their picturesque medieval survivals
are now great hives OF artisans. This
change did not come to Germany, as
il came to England. when municipal
science was In it's infancy: and so In
Germany we see industry developing
from the start under the most scien.
tific conditions.
Mr.. Low is chiefly struck by the er-
forts OF German authorities to make
all parts OF their cities agreeable TO
live in. and he thinks their municipal
government the most efficient TO be
found anywhere. Our own public
health system Is better and our
method of paving greatly superior, but
the level OF apparent comfort In Ger-
many is far higher. There are no
such contrasts MS between Piccadilly
and Poplar.
The lot of the German workingman
may be really harder one. what
with the high price OF food and exor.
bitant rents. but AT least he has an en-.
yironment free from the worst kind
OF squnlor.-The Spectator.

WYOMING'S DEAD
AWFUL EXPLOSION IN DIAMOND
WILLIE COAL MINE.
NINETEEN MINERS KILLED

Caused by Blowing Out Of Shot
Previous Explosion in the Same
Mine Killed Thirty-Two Persons In
1901.
Diamondville, Wyo.-An explosion
of coal dust in the No. l mine of the
Diamondville Coal and Coke Company
at 1890 O'Clock Friday night resulted
in the death of nineteen miners, consti-
tuting the entire night force OF the
mine.
The explosion was precipitated by
"blown out shot, which is a blast
which blows burninepowder out OF the
hole in which the powder Is placed,
much in the manner in which burning
powder Is blown from the muzzle OF a
gun. The flash of this shot ignitea
coal dust hanging in the air, the flame
spreading through the dust to the re-
motest quarters of the lower levels OF
the mine with such rapidity that the at
mosphere was disturbed as violently
as though by tremendous explosion
OF powder.
The explosion occurred about 4,Ooo
feet down the main slope of the mine,
all of the night shift being employed
at that point in knocking down coal
for removal by the day shift. Every
one of the men undoubtedly was
killed instantly, as the force of the ex-
plosion was so terrific that the entire
lower workings of the mine were
wrecked.
A large body of coal torn from the
walls and roof of the slope entirely
blocked the road to the lower levels,
making the work of rescuing the bodies
of the victims very difficult.
The body of Robert Marshall was
blown up the slope to point above
where the cave-in occurred and was
the first found by the rescue parties
who entered the mine soon after the
explosion took place. 1t lay amid
pile of wreckage and was badly disfig-
ured.
Fridays explosion was the second
in the history of Diamondfield No. l..
On February &c. 1901, an explosion In
the mine killed thirty-two miners and
set the mine on fire, much difficulty be-
ing experienced in extinguishing the
lanes. Following the explosion the
mine was equipped with brick brattices
instead of wooden brattices, and other
precautions against a repetition OF the
accident were taken. The last previous
mine explosion of importance in
Wyoming occurred at Hanna, June 30,
1908, 1863 miners losing their lives.
