THE CADDY'S COMMENT.
One That Was Not Very Complimen-
tary to a Professional
Player.

Walter J Travis. the golfer, set up
his ball, end then made half a dozen
swishes at the short grass with the
driver, relates the New York Tribune
Il am not in good form. he said, Il
am playing like a broker we had here
last week.
This broker played once around,
making a dreadful exhibition of him.
self or this, though, he was not
aware. He was doing pretty we'll for
him.
The mans caddy was an unusually
quiet, stolid lad, boy with a freckled
face quite devoid of expression.
And since the caddy never once
laughed or sneered at his bad play,
the broker took a fancy to him. And
he said at the end of the round, in
the hope OF getting compliment:
II have been travelling for the last
six months. | am quite out OF prac-
tice. That is why | am in such bad
fern to-day.
"The caddy replied. calmly:
Then we've played before, have
We. sir?'"

Fire, Carrying Death to Work
ers and Rescuers.

Anaconda, Mont.-One OF the most
serious accidents in the history OF coal

mines OF the Northern Pacific at Rocky
Fork, near Red Lodge, Carbon county.
Eight men are dead, all victims OF
the deadly white damp that filed the
corridors OF the mine after the fire
which started Wednesday. Their
bodies have been recovered. but the
story OF the work OF rescue parties Is a
tale Of unexcelled bravery and heroic
self-sacrifice.
OF the dead, two were members OF
one OF the parties that entered the
mine in the effort 10 reach the men
known to be there.
The fire which caused the trouble
started in incline No. G Wednesday.
This was believed 70 be under control,
after along. hard fight. Al 1880 Thurs

down No. 6 incline, proceeding eau
tiously. as il was found that there wore
still traces of the fire. When they
reached n depth of / 200 feet all were
overcome. Seven managed 10 struggle

piled with by the packers. such as add
ditional sanitary facilities
AS to the charge that canned meats
were boiled in water to "freshen them
up. Mr. Wilson said there was abso.

THE results OF The agitation have
been disastrous. The sale of fresh and
manufactured produats has been more
than cut i'm Two. Every country in
Europe has taken up the agitation. Ii
is hurting us very materially. Other
countries that produce in competition

period of about three years was adj
mitted Wednesday by Joseph Boyer,

the coal companies which furnished
the fuel TO the railroad Mr. Boyer
named five companies which allowed
him from three to five cents on each
ton sold to the railroad company. He
declared that he never asked for the
allowance, but accepted il because he
believed he was following custom of
the department. In fact, one OF the
coal company officials told him that
he had paid It before and wanted to
continue paying it to the witness.
A. w. Gibbs, Mr. Boyei,s superior
officer on the stand, said he was IN
aware that such conditions existed in

clined to accept the money. but after
