SIXTEEN MEN KILLED.
ExpIoslon al a Shaft Resulted in Great
Disaster

Dubois, Pa, May /. - Sixteen men
we're killed and one will die as the re-
suit of an explosion in the Eleanora
shaft near big Run. The shaft is To-
Gated one and half miles from Big
Run on the Buffalo, Rochester and
Pittsburg railway, IL miles south of
here. 1t is in an isolated part of the
country and the explosion, which &C.
Cured last night, was not known in
this city until today. The mine is
owned and operated by the Rochester
and Pittsburg Coal and Iron Company
and is a comparatively new shaft,
having been opened two years ago.
The mine was thought to be free
from dangerous gases. The night
force was small or there would have
been more fatalities. Every man who
was in the. mine at the time of the
explosion except one is reported kill
ed. Three bodies have thus far been
recovered.

The most selfish and ignoble races
that ever flew through the air or swan

of the accidental possession of power
to establish orders of patrician and
plebian, or of lord and commoner, and
thus to doom one portion of theiI
number to perform all the toll and
bear all the burdens of the tribe
while they themselves monopolized all
its leisure and its luxuries.-Horace

Chicago, April 30. - With 800
teamsters on strike tonight, with con-
slant accessions being made to their
number, and with the expressed de-
termination of the Employers Asso'
citation to take a firm stand for the
open shop and fight the team
sters union to a finish, Chicago to-
night to all appearances stands on the
eve of one of the greatest industrial
upheavals in her history.
There was rioting in various parts
Of the city today, despite the strong
guards of police and private detec-
lives hired by the Employers Asso-
citation to protect their wagons. Dur
ing the troubles three persons were
seriously injured two of whom will
probably die. The injured are:
Richard Cumming, police sergeant,
ran over by an omnibus driven by
John Ceresa, union driver. Cum
mings will probably die. Ceresa has
been arrested.
Samuel Jackson colored teamster
employed by the j. V. Farwell Com
pany. attacked by a mob numbering
200. He was badly beaten and his
head cut by blow with shovel
Mark Moran, district messenger
boy, struck on the head by board
thrown at a non-union teamster from
a building at Van Buren, and La Sale
street. Condition critical.
The declaration made last night by
the members of the Employers Asso-
citation that they would promptly dis
charge any transfers who refused to
deliver goods or call for them at the
establishment of Montgomery, Ward
&. Company, brought out the team
sters in many down town mercantile
houses during the day and the num-
Der, it is expected, will be increased
largely tomorrow morning. Strikes
have been declared tonight against
twelve leading firms and l,32l team
sters have gone out. In addition 10
these firms the teamsters employed
by number of smaller concerns were
called out late in the evening The
business agents of the transfers de-
clared tonight that by tomorrow they
will call on strike 1000 truck drivers
and thereby cripple to large extent
the entire transportation business in
Chicago. II was declared also that
drivers for grocery houses which de-
livered goods to any of the firms
where a strike exists would be order
ed to join in the lockout.
While the labor leaders were in con-
ference delegates of the Chicago EN-
ployers' Association, the Commercial
Exchange and representatives OF out
side industrial organizations met at
the Union League club and declared
that they would fight Chicago.
Subscriptions We're taken during
the day to strengthen the Employers
Teaming Company, the weapon with
which the Transfers Union is to be
actively fought. and tonight President
Mark Morton of the company, who is
brother of Paul Morton, secretary
of the navy, had over $1,000, 900 at his
disposal and had ample assurances
from business men that he could have
as many times that amount as was
necessary.

poFF's STRIPES TO PRAY.
Admiral Shows His Respect for the
Scriptures in Peculiar Way.


A certain and favorite junior officer
in the United States navy had for q
considerable time observed that the
admiral always removed his uniform
coat and donned one of less preten'
sions when he read his Bible on Sun
day mornings. He often wondered
why the commander of the flagship
should do so strange a thing, and so
one day, when the good humor of the
admiral permitted the great amount
of freedom such question would re-
quire, he asked:
Admiral, will you tell me why you
always remove your uniform coat be-
fore you open your Bible for Sunday
mornings reading?'
The Admiral lifted his eyes and
gravely stared the young officer in the
face. His smile was more beatific
than forbidding.
Lieutenant, I remove my uni
form coat before reading the Bible
because | can never give the Lord of
Hosts the proper amount of respect
and alteration with the stripes of an
admiral embracing the arms that sup
port the Bible.
1t was question of the pride of his
heart-which was in his admiral's
stripes-overcoming the love he held
for his Maker when he would render
his devotion to him.-Lippincott's

Private and Government Property.
There is difference between gov
eminent and public property. While
all property owned by a nation or
municipality is government property,
still there is part of that which is
public property, as, for instance, parks
and Libraries, which may be used by
the general public. Forts belonging
to the army and ships to the navy
are government property but are not
for the use of the general public.

A TRAINED NURSE
After Years of Experience, Advises Women in
Regard to Their Health.

Mrs. Martha Pohlman
of So Chester Avenue,
Newark, N. j., who IS a
graduate Nurse from the
Blockley Training School,
at Philadelphia, and for
six years Chief Clinic
Nurse at the Philadelphia
Hospital, writes the letter
printed below. She has
the advantage of personal
experience, besides her
professional education,
and what she has to say
may be absolutely relied
upon.
Many other women are
afflicted as she was. They
can regain health in the
same way. 1t is prudent
to heed such advice from
such a source.
Mrs, Pohlman writes:

after eight years Of experience
with Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, that it
is the safest and best medicine

An idea of the difficulties encoun-
tered can be formed from the fact
that this line in forty miles crosses
the Potomac river nine times, the
Chesapeake G. Ohio canal seven
times. the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
three times, passes through noun
tain ranges and spurs by five tunnels,
varying in length from 700 feet to
400 feet, through ridges and hills
by innumerable cuts, many OF them
over fifty feet deep through solid rock
and some almost mile in length, and
that a great portion Of the road is
being cut out of the rocky sides of
mountain ranges, directly above the
canal. One OF the most unusual diff
icuIties in railroad construction, and
vet the most troublesome on this line
has been a disposition OF the earth
and rock removed in making the road
bed. a dificulty arising from the fact
that the wabash follows closely the
canal route. While waiting for legal

A woman tells how coffee kept he;
from insuring her life:
II suffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with my heart, with Sc
we're nervous headaches and neuralgia;
but although incapacitated at times
for my house work, L did not realize
the gravity of my condition till l was
rejected for life insurance, because.
the examining physician said, my heart
was SO bad he could not pass me. This
distressed me very much, as l was a
widow and had a child dependent
upon me. 1t was to protect her flu
ture that I wanted to insure my life.
Fortunately for me, 1 happaned to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from q man who had been
affected i'm the same way that / was
with heart trouble, and who was
cured by leaving off Coffee and using
Postum Food Coffee. / grasped at
the hope this held out, and made the
change at once.
MY health began to improve imme-
diately. The headaches and neural-
gia disappeared, 1 gained in flesh, and
my appetite came back to me at
once. Greatest of all, my heart was
strengthened from the beginning, and
soon all the distressing symptoms
passed away No more waking up
in the night with my heart trying to
fly out of my mouth! Then I again
made application for life insurance.
