ANDREWS GETS PLUM.
Ne7o Commissioner of Records
Nay Be .Stopgap for Grady.

county Clerk Dooling yesterday appointed
william S. Andrews to the office of Commits
sloner of Records which created by the
Legislature at it's last session The salary of the
office is $4,000 a year
The appointment of Andrews to the office Gre
ated great surprise among politicians of the
city partly on account of his record as former
oihcehoder and partly because it was under
stood that the place had been intended for State
senator Thomas f. Grady In view of the fact
that Senator Grady is debarred by the State
Constitution from taking such an appointive
office during the term for which he was last
elected there talk about the City Hall that
Andrews would be only stopgap until jan
uary l, when Senator Grady would take the
Office. Some Tammany men, however. said that
the organization might want to keep Grady in
the State Senate few years longer The ap-
pointment of Andrews was credited to Charles
F. Murphy since Dooling was one of the Tam
many district leaders left without district by
the new apportionment. but was saved to the
executive committee by the resolution which
Murphy put through last Tuesday night.
Andrews was an Excise Commissioner in 1887.
and Commissioner of Street Cleaning in
1898 and 1894 under Mayor Gilroy. On the night
of December 4, 1895, he was expelled from the
New York Commandery of the Loyal Legion on
the charge of conduct unbecoming a gentleman
and a companion" The charge grew out of dis
closures regarding Andrews before the Lexow
Committee in the summer of 1894. Three speci-
dCationS in the charge We're investigated by a
board of officers of the Loyal Legion and sus
tanned by the report on which Andrews was ex-
PEELED.
One specification that Andrews when an
Excise Commissioner in 1887 accepted bribe of
$500 for the issue of license to the notorious
Maison Tortoni, for which license had been
twice refused. Another that he had bor-
rowed $1,000 from George w. Plunkitt, who was
interested in street cleaning contract. The
specification which regarded most seriously
by the Loyal Legion, 1t said at the time, was
that Andrews obtained $3.50 from the govern
ment pension money for Alexander S. Top
lanyi. a veteran. and applied to his own use
about $2500, refusing to pay that amount to
Toplanyi before his death or to his relatives
later.

GAZE LIVES FOR MINERS.
White Damp OUercomes Rescue
Partg-Eight Die in Shaft.

Anaconda Mont June S.-One of the most
serious accidents in the history Of coal mining
in Montana has occurred in the mines Of the
Northern Pacific at Rocky Fork, near Red
Lodge, Carbon County Eight men are dead.
all victims of the white damp that filled 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 self-sacrifce. OF
the dead. two were members of one of the par
ties that entered the mine in the effort to reach
the men known to be there.
The fire started in incline No. on Wednes-
day. This believed to be under control af-
ter a long, hard fight At 7:3O a. yesterday
the first rescue party started down No. incline.
proceeding cautiously, it found that
there were still traces OF the fire.
At a depth of twelve hundred feet all were
overcome Several managed. however, to strug
gle back TO where they could be reached
BY this time dense column of smoke burst
from No 3 incline, and the air in No. was so
foul that volunteer rescuers fled back terrified.
The scene about the mines was distressing.
Frantic women and crazed about,
hamperng the work of rescue. The second vol
unteer party was successful. The fans were re-
versed and the smoke forced back out of No. 6
incline. In the slopes, brattices were made of
canvas and water was let in. The rescuers
were let down slowly in cars. They first found
the unconscious forms of six Of the first rescue
party, which were hurried to the surface. All
were revived but two. 1t is believed that the
injured will entirely recover.
Further down the incline six other bodies
were found all beyond hope of restoration
Several of the second rescue party, among them
Haggerty, pit boss. were overcome during the
day. but were restored, and Haggerty returned
TO the work of rescue 1t is believed that all
the bodies have been saved from the mine. The
work of fighting the fire is now being pushed.

Inheritance Tax on Irving Estate.

The estate of the late Peter Irving,
of Tacoma, will pay $5,7l1 into the
state treasury as inheritance. tax This
will be the largest tax ever
paid in from Pierce county and only
four or five in the state have exceeded
it. w. A. Fairweather and Elmer
Hayden, executor and attorney re-
spectively, of the estate, were in Olym-
pia today and after consultation with
the state tax commission and the state
treasurer agreed the amount of the
estate subject to the operation of the
inheritance tax law was $lS8, 3S9. The
reason the taxis SO comparatively large
to the amount of the estate is that
most of the property goes to heirs,
nephews and neices of the deceased,
the law providing for higher rate of
taxation when the property does not
descend to the direct heirs. Olympia

marvellous light of the Star of Beth
lehem.
Brightest and best of the sons of the
morning!
Dawn on our darkness, and lend us
thine aid
Star of the East, the horizon adjoining,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is
Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are
shining,
Low lies His head with the beasts of
the stall.
Angels adore Him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Saviour of
all!
Say, shall we yield Him, in costly de-
votiOn,
Odors of Edom, and offerings divine?
Gems of the mountain and pearls of the
Myrrh from the forest or gold from
the mine.
Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gifts would His favor Sc
cure;
Richer by far is the hearts alteration;
Dearer to God are the prayers of the
poor"
May this Christmas, the nineteen
hundred and tenth birth day of our
Lord, awaken new sunshine in our
hearts until we will offer gift that
will cause the Angels at Gods throne
to sing anew the anthems of old. Not
only will it cause the celestial worlds to
echo and re-echo with songs of rejoic-
ing, but old Earth will become Eden
again and men may eat of the fruit of
the Tree of Life and feel the zephyrs of
the divine. What is that gift? The
one that God and the Angels prize the
most, and that brings the greatest poss-
ible boon for man? Answer, "A life
fully consecrated to Cod"
