Instructive Little Tale.

There were two brothers, George and
William.
William was the good boy. He was
studious, methodical, and economical.
He went into business, and by hard
work and much self-denial at last &C
CURED a moderate competency.
George was a gay, careless, easy 60
ing fellow, who never applied himself Sc
riously to anything, but enjoyed life as
he went along.
One day, however, when he had moth
ing else to do he invented a mouse trap.
1t was simple little affair, but operated
on new principle, and was different
from any other trap In use.
He showed it to his brother William.
bill" he said, 'if you will lend me
money enough to patent this thing and
put it on the market I'll divide all the
profits equally with you"
Nit" answered William, glancing
carelessly at the trap. There's nothing
in it."
Thus repulsed, George went to shrewd
capitalist, who at once invested $1,000
in his invention.
And lost every cent of it.
William was right.-Chicago Tribune.

GAS KILLS MINERS.
Death List From German Horror May
Reach 800.

Saarbruecken, Jan. ga fre-damp
explosion occurred yesterday morning
in the Reden coal mine at st. John-On-
Saar, opposite Saarbruecken, and
caused the loss of from $50 to 200 lives.
The mine is owned by the Prussian gov
ernment.
Up to O'Clock last evening "
bodies had been brought out and SO
Only so live men have been brought
out, and of these the doctors say at
least 80 will die, as they are frightfully
injured through having been hurled
against the walls of the galleries by
the force of the explosion. An official
report given out last night says the
number of dead cannot exceed 100.
Immediately after the explosion res
cue workers were hurried from all the
adjacent mines and boldly entered the
Reden shaft in great numbers. The
work of rescue has been greatly ham,
pered by the poisonous gases resulting
from the explosion and from fierce
fire that broke out Immediately after
wards. This caused efforts at rescue to
be suspended, and the workers had to
be ordered out Of the mine.
After all tie rescuers had reached
daylight, ae. ording to one version, a
second terrific detonation was heard
underground. But according to another
report, many of the rescuers were still
below when the second explosion oc-
cured, and it is estimated that the cas-
uality list from the two explosions will
reach total of 300 men.
1t is regarded as certain that the low
est levels of the mine are completely
wrecked, and the inspectors are deliber-
ating upon further measures to get con-
troll of the fire. The managers are dis
cussing the advisability of flooding
these levels as the only means of extin-
gushing the flames.
1t is believed that all the men who
were in the lower levels assuredly are
dead. 1t will take full week to enter
and explore the mine.

and thus aid in checking the pest.
Further drastic action may follow,

the city, a move which was considered
when the epidemic first broke out but
was abandoned as unnecessary. If the

DISEASE CAUSES TERROR.
Rapid Increase in Gases and Deaths
Repcrted At Chicago

Chicag0s Jan SO Hhe epidemic 0i
contagious diseases In Chicago assumed
some Of the features of plague today,
reports of new cases pouring into the
Health department office at the rate of
one every three minutes. The Health
department corps was hopelessly
swamped with the tremendous squirt,
472 new cases being added to the al
ready long list of patients. Chicago's s
sick from scarlet fever and diphtheria
are now said to number over 10, 260.
Five deaths were reported today, the
total number of deaths from all causes
for three days to noon being 342, or an
average of one death every ten minutes.
Last week, which was called the worst
of the epidemic by Health Commits
sioner Whalen, the average of death
was one every Is minutes.
The appalling seriousness of the epi-
demic was mirrored in the confusion
and semi-panic which seized the city
hall departments, to which the city
looks for check. The Health depart
ment was overcrowded with physicians
and policemen reporting cases, while
the health commissioner was engaged
in three cornered squabble with the
police, Building Commissioner Bartzen
and members of the city council.
Aldermen were besieged by constitu-
ents, who demanded that official action
be taken toward the appointment of a
committee of the best physicians in the
city to combat the contagious diseases
and help quiet the panicky feeling
which developed in all sections. May
or Dunno thought the appointment of
such committee might be good
thing, but he said it had not been
brought to his "official" attention that
a serious epidemic exists and that the
Health department was unable to cope
with it.

HARMONY IN SIGHT.
CaIifornians Confident of Solution of
Japanese Question.

Washington, Jan. 81. - After two
hours conference at the White House
last night regarding the japanese ques-
tion on the Pacific coast, the California
delegation in congress authorized the
following statement:
"The California delegation had a
very full and Harmonious discussion
with the president, the secretary of
state and the secretary of the navy on
the serious questions relating to the
Japanese on the Pacific coast. The
character of the discussion leads us to
feel confident that a solution will be
reached satisfactory to all concerned. "
The existing treaty between the
United States and Japan will expire
March II, this year. President Roose-
velt has heretofore assured the mem
bers OF congress from California. that he
would endeavOr to form a new treaty
with the japanese empire which would
meet with their entire approval and at
the same time prove satisfactory to the
Toxic government. The Californians
have in the past insisted on an exclu-
sion act to bar Japanese coolies out of
the United States. but it is hinted as a
result of the conference that Senator
Perkins and Flint and the members of
the house of representatives from that
state have practically agreed to waive
this demand and leave it to the presi-
dent to negotiate new convention that
will keep the japanese coolie labor cut
of this country.

Conditions in China Beyond All
Description.
AMERICA ADVISED TO GIVE aid
Relief Would Do Much to Remove
III Feeling That Prevails-Un-
rest Pervades Empire.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Mail reports
from American Consular officers in
China which reached the State De-
partment today regarding the famine
and resulting conditions further con-
firm the stories of suffering and hard
ship. Consul Haynes at Marking says
that the famine is ten times worse than
anything known in that part of the en-
pire for the past 40 years.
The Chinese officials, he says upon in
formation given him by the Vioeroy,
admit their inability to cope with the
situation. The government is trying to
help the starving people to keep their
cattle and to this end is taking their
oxen and buffaloes in pawn for two
taels each, keeping them thus until next
Spring, when it will return them.
Mr.. Haynes declares that whatever
aid may be extended by this Govern
ment in the present crisis will certainly
do much to dispel the ill-feeling recent
ly aroused by the boycott, the exclu-
sion act, etc.
Consul General Rogers at Shanghai
advises the department that the reports
as to the conditions appearing in the
newspapers, both foreign and Chinese,
are for the most part sustained by the
Investigations made by American naval
officers. He says an inquiry which he
has made gives the general conclusion
that the famine by March l will be
regarded as severe and perhaps more
so than that of 1878, by which it is
thought 100000 lives were lost.
The report of Mr.. Rogers is accom-
panied by statement by DIR. Henry M.
Woods of the Southern Presbyterian
mission at Hwai Ain Fu, wh2 estimates
that 10,000,000 Of people are Affected

as passed by the house. The large in

which the United States treasurer will

money now held IN trust as Indian
tribal funds. The senate committee
feels that these tribes are competent to

this city of the relations between the
Southern Pacific, the Union Pacific and
the Santa Fe railroads and the result
of these relations, with view to de-
termining in what particular, if any,
these roads have violated the interstate
commerce laws. 1t developed early in
