Bluefield evening leader. [volume] (Bluefield, W. Va.) 1906-1911, 1906-10-05

The queen of mountaineers. Mrs.
Bullock Workman. has added ono
more thrilling experience to her rec
ord OF adventures by accompanying
her husband on his great climb of
$4,000 feet in Kashmir. Mrs. Work
man has several times climbed over
21,OOO feet-higher than any other
woman in the world. The rarefied
air at these great heights has con
siderable effect on her. She finds II
distressing to sleep at night beyond
an altitude of $4,000 feet The di-
minished pressure shortens hor
brething and she experiences severe
headaches. But, curiously enough
the headache leaves her after 21.-
900 feet.

WORKING HARD TO REACH THE
CNFORTUNATES.

Tho Leader has man on the
ground but all through --.er.-y Il
was impossible to get anything def
mite as to the extent OF the. explo-
sion In the West Mines at Pocahon-

extent of the disaster. but nothing
authentic all through the day could
be obtained The work of rescue
goes bravely on and every pos
sible effort is being made to save
the human beings which have been
entombed in the mines since Wed
nesday morning at O'Clock. Those
in charge of the rescuing party are
not giving. ont anything for publica-
ton. The situation is indeed a very
sad one and 1t is generally under
stood that the fatalities will be
biNae. ~ Ice uoN DtlcNeu tudl tnp
rescuing party is very near the men
penned In the deadly mines and that
they will soon be reached, but
whether they will be found dead OF
alive cannot even be surmised, The
mine Is cut off from the, outside
throng and there Is absolutely ne
news of any definite character to be
obtained at present.
The scenes about the mines arc
appalling. Women relatives are Graz
ed by the knowledge that their low.
ed ones are either dead or dying.
They urge on the rescuers and beg
to be allowed to go in the min,
themselves. Ii is really a distres.
sing situation with nothing to re
lieve the anxiety of those who
throng the outside.

CtRB AT TEACHERS COLLEGE.
Young Women Had 10 Re Very Nice At
Their Last Entertainment.

Lucetta Daniel, direotress OF Teachers
College, Columbia University, has decided
hat some things in the amusement line are
not in accordance with the high dignity Of
women who expect to be teachers A short
time ago the girls planned to give an enter
tainment to be Known as The Salt Marshes
OF New jersey A regular imitation Of
Coney Island, to be seen for the sum OF ten
cents, was what was announced.
All h arrangements were made without
consulting the diTectress. When she heard
of it she sent for the leaders in the entertain
ment and inquired what sort Of a show
they were planning.
-Oh, something like 'Screamland,' was
tie reply.
~~Screamland" was an entertainment given
last year, in which there was a fighting The
flames" a shoot the chutes," Indians,
q chamber Of horrors and a whole museum
of wonders.
Il think such a thing il a little too undigni-
fed for prospective school teachers," said
Miss Daniel. Consequently the girls gave
last night instead an entertainment that
n girl termed a pink tea salmagundi
party
