girl' who was fatally burned bv an
overturned lamp in a West Madison
street hotel, strange story is reveal
ed by Chicago business man. IT is
the romance of the petted daughter of
noble English family who with very
broad views of what she thought was
a woman's opportunity in America
cast aside the wishes of her parents,
VINO planned a brilliant career for her.
came to America and met and marie !
a Chinaman.
The pathos of her romance is shown
in the fact that when her family real
lied what she had done she was dis
owned. The name of the girls family
has not been revealed. She came to
America six years ago, hoping to earn
living as school teacher. Very well
educated, 20 years of age, yet she could
not find work.
While she was dying at the County
hospital she lay for hours half con-
scious, refusing to give her real name,
frequently asking. HAS he come yet ?'
The Chicago merchant whose name is
kept secret by the hospital officials,
and whom she had sent for, did not re-
ceive her message until too late. He
told the hospital attendant this story:
''She was the wife of a Chinaman
She came to me about two months ago
and told me her story. She fell in love
with Wong. a rich Chinaman in Prov
idence, r. I. He taught her to smoke
opium.
''It was the most pitiful tale I ever
heard. She had tried to get away, but
Wong followed her and wherever she
was ne would find her. When she
could keep away from the opium she
was a woman whose whole desire was
toward decent living. She told me how
she mad worked in laundry in New
York, because the work was so hard
it helped her to fight her hunger for
opium.
"On investigating her husband,
found ne was doubtless illegally in
America. About the middle of Janu-
ary she left him. She went to the Chi
nese inspector and made complaint.
Wong was arrested. His certificate is
forgery, and he will be returned to
China. But the woman is dead"

Explosion Of Gas at Letters

LITTLE HOPE OF REscuIMs Men

ZE1GLER, April 3.-An explosion of
gas occurred at Letters mine this
morning at 6:45. just after the men
mad been lowered. At least so men
are entombed and small hopes are en-
tertained that any are alive. The force
of the explosion threw timbers, rail-
road ties and debris 200 feet in the
air. The earth for rods is cracked.
The smoke and flames rushed from the
shaft through the breakers house.
Only one man in the air shaft escaped.
The crowd is kept back from the mouth
of the shaft by the extreme heat.
Later reports say that at least "a

Another report says that 20 are dead
and Is injured. A strike has been In
not known whether the disaster is the
result of an accident or a plot. Letter

abandon the mine and the men had
been notified accordingly.

60. Of theminers who were entombed
in the shaft on the day shift but three
are known to have escaped. Two of
these are so badly injured that they
probably will die. AT II o'clock two
more miners were rescued through an
air shaft, but they are terribly burned.
Attempts to rescue are useless on ac-
count of flames from the burning mine.
All entrances under the ground works
are blocked by debris. 1t is not
thought possible that any of the en-
tombed miners are alive. The smoke
and flames from the cracks in the
earth indicate that all were burned or
suffocated.

bids at an early date.
