The Richmond palladium. (Richmond, Ind.) 1906-1907, 1906-07-22
The Victorian Cross of the Sea.

How often, In reading an account Of
some serious disaster at sea. one notices
the announcement that certain of the
heroes of the occasion have been awarded
Lloyds medal. 1t is the reward almost
comparable, In fact, to the little bronze
cross On which the two stimulating words
for valour'' are engraved which is pre-
scented on the recommendation of the
commanding officer to The soldier who
does some deed of special gallantry In
the face Of the enemy, or the sailor who
distinguished himself under similar con-
ditions. To the public, however. Lioyd's
medal does not convey SO serious a mean
Ing: perhaps because the recipients sell
dom wear ii on their dress plain for all
folk to see," no doubt shrinking IN nat
ural modesty from the display on ordi-
nary attire Of the record OF deed which
involved the imperiling Of life and limb
from the overwhelming forces of nature
instead of from the bullets of the enemy.
Lloyd's medals are two In number. The
older, which wac founded In 1897, as made
In silver and bronze, and Is awarded as
an honorary acknowledgment to those
who have, by extraordinary eXertions,
contributed TO the saving Of life at sea-
while In 1888 II was decided to give a
medal 10 ships officers and others who.
by standing by, have contributed to the
preservation OF vessels and cargoes from
perils Of all kinds. This latter emblem
Is in silver. though at first It was made
In bronze The medal for meritorious
services Is an oval one. The reverse
side bears the words Presented by the

Lioyds for meritorious services" and con-
tains scroll between the two inscrip-
tionS on which the recipients name II
engraved, surrounded by design of oak
leaves. while the clasp by which the
medal is suspended is appropriately
formed Of two dolphins, with their tails
together, encircIing a ball.
1t need hardly be said that 1t would be
impossible for the committee of Lloyds
to recognize all the heroic deeds which
add iustre to the story of the sea; but
Lloyd's is the center OF informa ton
connected with shipping, 1t may be taken
for granted that cases Of merit rarely es-
cape the notice OF The institution. En-
tracts from the log, and the evidence Of
the master or officers who have been res
cued, with In some cases letter from
the captain commencing the conduct of
various members of the crew are generally
procured to serve as evidence on which
the committee may base its judgment.
Since 1887, when the medal for saving
life at sea was instituted less than 125
medals have been awarded, so that the
average Is barely two a year, though In
1901 IA medals were given, but most OF
them were for one ship. That the stand
ard is kept very high Is evidenced by the
fact In 1900, and In 1893, and 1894 only
one medal was awarded in each one Of
these years, while In 1892 none were
given The bronze medals are consider
ably more numerous, numbering as they
do some 300, while the medal for brave
service has been awarded to considerably
less than a hundred recipients during
the dozen years IL has existed.

the working class) who daily carry to
their work, In dinner pail and lunch-box,
packing house sausage sandwiches, thus
adding to the natural dangers that beset
them in their toll, the insidous menace of
death that glares at them from their
daily bread and turks in the lunch which
their wives with loving hands prepare.
While it is true that every laborer, in a
greater or lesser degree. takes his life in
his hand when he enters the place OF his
employment, 1t is probably equally true
that no class is in the constant danger
that besets the coal miner. Only short
time ago there was a fearful mining dis
aster in the Courrieres district OF France
where 1,400 men met their death. and
hardly month passes but that In some
part of the world a mining disaster OF
appalling magnitude does not occur. To q
certain extent explosions OF fredamp can
not be entirely prevented. but science has
come to the rescue with appliances which
enable men 10 live even In an atmosphere
laden with the deadly gases. The first
invention OF such apparatus was that OF n
Frenchman, DR.. Regnard. whose appliance
has been improved upon by other con-
trivances built upon the same principle
that Of supplying pure air by artificial
means. Two devices to be worn by miners
while in n mine filled with fredamp have
been tried and found successful. One
furnishes fresh air or renews the supply
OF purified air. while the. other carries a
supply of compressed air TO be liberated
as needed. Both are strapped upon the
person of the miner, and the head OF the
operator Is encased in an alright helmet
SO that the only air which is allowed TO
reach his nostrslS Is that which comes
from the continuance upon his back OF
course. the great force of miners could
not work with these appliances upon their
backs, and besides 1t would be too great
an expense. They are invaluable how
ever. for rescue work, when men are sent
to the relief Of imprisoned or overcome
miners.

chinery. They are 100000 men and boys
who delve into the bowels of the earth
and work there in an unnatural condition.
John Mitchell, president Of the United
Mineworkers of America, in Al interesting
interview recently said of the conditions
of their employment:
They are removed from the sight of
their fellow beings. obscured from the
rays Of the sun, With hundreds, often
times thousands Of feet Of rock between
them and those they love. They work in
a place that teens with dampness and
danger, where not a day goes by but
what more than unfortunate miner
meets death by falls of rock, coal or slate
and where at frequent intervals. by rea-
son Of the explosion Of gases which are
permitted to accumulate in the Mines
there are accidents by which the nation Is
appalled,; humble homes are made DESC
late, wives are made widows and children
orphans. That is how these men dig the
dusky diamonds whose ruddy glow cheers
the hearthstone parties in many homes"

RECOGNIZED Dangerous Trades.
There are certain trades that are recog-
nized as dangerous. Take, for instance,
that Of structural ironworkers. Thanks
to the erection of many steel-frame build
ings all over the country this trade has
come into prominence during the past
few years. Everybody knows that these
men. crawling about at great heights. are
in constant danger; that is, everyone
knows It. but the men themselves. Dur
ing the erection of the great cantilever
bridge over the Niagara Gorge, below
Niagara Falls, a certain workman was
chided by the gang foreman for the need
less risks he took while working in his
elevated position. Take a chance like
that again and I'll fire YOU" said the
foreman after some particularly fool
hardy piece OF climbing.
Fire away" responded the workman,
and to show his contempt both for dan
ger and the foreman, he ran nimbly to
the end OF a two-foot plant and stood on
his head. kicking his feet in the air
over n chasm $50 feet deep. He was dis
charged, but, being a particularly va:u-
able workman, was reinstated after \ day
or two. During the erection of the cleo
trio tower for the Pan-American Exposi-
ton structural ironworker fell from the
very tip Of the tower-407 feet from the
earth. He spread out his arms, instinc-
lively. and, as luck would have 1t, they
caught on a projecting piece of scafold-
ing and his journey was stopped when he
had still over $50 feet to go. He crawled
slowly over the beam to the tower and
went back to work, not even shaken or
unnerved by his miraculous escape.

Especial Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.)
Springfield, ILL.,, January u. w.
Cheesman and c. B. Youtsey, doing
business as distillers at Newport, KY,
under the name of the York Distillery
Company, were to-day fined $500 and
costs each, which they paid, in United
States district court, on pleas of guilty
to shipping into the state packages of
liquor not previously ordered.
This firm is only one of several of
tenders who have been sending agents
into Illinois to prohibition towns, Sc
curing the names of persons who drink
liquor and sending packages C. o. D.
to them through the express companies
The particular case in question was
at Goreville, Johnson county. 1t has
been a common practice of dealers and
distillers in Kentucky, Missouri and
Indiana to send these packages into
southern Illinois, and the local officers
could do nothing in the matter, as the
offenders always quoted the interstate
commerce act
in sending the packages G. o. D. to
persons who have not ordered the liquor,
when the express company is paid, that
constitutes sale in the town to which
the liquor is shipped, in distinction to
a sale in the place where the liquor is
sent from, in cases where the packages
are ordered by bona fide shippers.

THE MONTANA CIRCUIT
Butte Is Again Maintaining Record As Had

InS Meet Attract; Crowd

Butte, Mont, Aug. 21,--The first
racing meet on the Montana circuit
will begin here this afternoon and
continue until September Z. Several
good stakes are offered, including
six Of $1,000 each, and as a result
q better class OF horses are entered
than ever before. The conclusion
OF the racing here will be followed by
meets OF weeks duration each at
Livingston. Boaeman, Great Falls,
Helna and Missolu.
Now that the mining troubles are
settled, Butte Is again maintaining
its record ms the habitat Of dead
game sports" and II Is believed that
the racing meet will attract thous-
auds to the city. Already several
pool rooms have been established in
the city and are doing a rushing bus
mess on returns from all the leading
tracks OF the country All OF them
will open books at the local tracks
on this and succeeding afternoon.
