VICTIM
OF OLD NIAGARA

Niagara Falls, Nov 2S.-An un-
known man was swept over the Horse
Shoe Falls in a small boat yesterday
afternoon, after a daring attempt
hade been made to save him. An en-
ploye of the Ontario Power company
first saw the little craft coming down
the river in the grasp of the swift
current The occupant a man. was
standing up frantically waving his
hands. Two rowboats started down
the Chippewa river towards the Ma
garia falls to attempt to rescue at the
mouth of the small stream The
rescuers went far beyond what is
considered the danger line. but a
cross current carried the unfortunate
man away from them toward Goat
island and In a few minutes he was
carried over the falls. The would-be
rescuers were by this time in a peril
Gus position and it was with great
difficulty that they succeeded in reach
ing shore.

BRYAN WINS
WITHPEOPLE
LATEST VICTORY
OF the Great Commoner in
Trans Mississippi Con-
sress 80 His Wonderful
Perception of the Popular
Sentiment.

Mr.. Bryan's resolutions directed
against private monopoly furnished
a1othe revidence OF his personal pow
er in representative lssem1laGes. in
this case, due to his unfailins per
ception of the popular sentiment and
his ability to embody 1t in the written
word As noted in Yesterdays Her
aid. the BRYAN resolutions we're a
simple declaration offered for odop-
tlon by the Trans-Mississippi con
gress, declaring that private monop-
oily is indefensible and intolerable,
and calling for the enforcement of
present laws with the enactment of
further laws, if necessary to abate
the trst evil.
These resolutions went before q
committee OF the congress which tab
led them for reasons which were not
set forth in the dispatches, but which
were probably political in their origin
Before the resolutions We're brought
before the congress itself, after their
defeat in committee, Mr.. Bryan had
itllb YET lntS Mtit idlANu Np hS AhN
congress and passed by a decisive
vote which left no doubt as to the
attitude of the delegates.
The sole result of this abortive eff
fort to discredit Bryan is to demon
strate anew his qualities of leader
ship. Whether he can ever again win
a nomination in view of his failures
as candidate. there can be no ques-
tion as to his hold on the popular
sentiment, his strong following
among the common people of every
shade of opinion. 1t may well be
doubted whether any man since JEFF
ferson's day has discerned so clearly
or held SO firmly to the desires of the
masses who ordinary have little pow
er in politics. Twice discredited as 4
candidate. he has rlveted to himself
the affections of the masses so that
nothing can shake their confidence in
his dlsinterestedness and sincerity of
purpose without office. without any
of the glamours that attaches to the
power of place. he is still the greatest
of the leaders of his party and pow
er in its future destiny.-Salt Lake

Old English Coal Records.

There is record, dated S52, Of the
receipt Of twelve carloads Of fossil
coal at the abbey of Peterborough, and
this was assuredly not the first case of
production and delivery.
The deeds Of the bishOpric of Dur.
ham contain records Of grants Of land
to Golfers as far back as 1850 in va
rious parts of the county. In the year
1889 charter was granted by Henry
III. to the freemen Of Newcastle
Tyne to dig coal in the fields belong
ing to the castle, and it was in or about
this year That coal was first sent to
London. Very early in the fourteenth
century evidence abounds Of a large
consumption of coal by smiths, brewers
and others. Already the smoke nui
sance appeared, and a commission OF
Edward 1. levied fines to prevent 1t.
Another charter, or license, was
granted to the freemen Of Newcastle
in Edward ILLS time to work Goa

1867 coal began to be worked at Win

LOVE AND
LAUNDRY
BY JOSEPH LANE
Copyright, 1905, by p. c. Eastment

"If you keep on having deaths in the
family at this rate, you will kill them
all off before the end of a year and
have to marry into another family to
get more relatives to KILL" warned
Freeman as he regarded the woman
who was supposed to keep his apart
ments in order.
The ebony face opened wide in q guf-
faw. Cynthia regarded Freeman as n
rare joker.
"'Deed," she protested, II didn't lose
no family. It was my bes' lady. ,Her
lille gal done got married yesterday"
"Well, don't let it happen again." he
warned. 'Give the rooms a good clean
ing today"
Cynthia wriggled first on one foot,
then on the other. II doan' can do no
cleanin' today" she protested. "Dis
my young lady day. 1 jes' come for
your wash. She tole me could wash
yours there"
eff you mean you are going to do
my laundry on some one else's gas
range, be careful that you get all my
things back"
Cynthia, with many voluble protesta-
tons, escorted him to the door and re-
turned to the apartment to gather up
the soiled clothes, and Freeman went
downtown to work.
Things all went wrong that day, and
when he came home in the evening he
! went to the top drawer, where from a
photograph and handkerchief he was
wont to draw comfort. The girl in the
photograph smiled up at him, but the
handkerchief was gone, and, though he
turned out the contents Of every draw
er, he could not find it.
With an odd sense of fOrebOding he
sat down to think it over. Freeman
was of an unusually sensitive tempera.
| ment, and the loss of the handkerchief
seemed to him to be an omen.
Bessie had worn it when he had gone
to say goodby before he had started
for the city, and she had given it to him
to wrap the photograph in when he
slipped it into his pocket. 1t had been
his talisman, and the faint perfume
that he knew so well cleared his brain
of worries.
Now it was gone, just as Bessie had
gone. There was something uncanny
in its disappearance, and it seemed to
him to presage evil.
She had dropped utterly from sight.
She had written him that she, too, was
coming to town, and that was the last
