PENMANsHIP A FINE ART.
Typewrlting Has Not Driven Hand
Work from the Field.

There is renaissance in penman-
ship, despite the speedy comforts of
the typeWriters. Ten years ago it prob
ably would not have occurred to any
one to show page of manuscript at
any exhibition; to-day pages or books
Of script form feature of every show
which takes to itself the name of arts
and crafts. Some of the work is in
Roman capitals, but the form Of letter
usually adopted is the unciel or half
unciel. Apparently all the writer's
have founded themselves in these
models. Within these last few years
not only has the art attracted a good
deal Of attention, but it has become
quite the rage, so that in some circles
it creates no more surprise now to
learn that an amateur is taking les
sons In script than it would have done
some years back to be told that he or
she had taken to poker work From
one viewpoint 1t is difficult to say
where writing ends and illustration
begins, but though in the recent re-
vival the two arts naturally have gone
hand in hand, the scribe and the illum.
tnator are not necessarily one and the
same person. Some of the illumina-
tions show most elaborate and minute
figure decoration, so delicate In color.
Ing and so refined in treatment that
1t challenges comparison with the best
of old work.

The man who declares that the
Wright brothers have solved the prob
lem of aerial navigation and predicts
that the flying machine will be &C
cepted publicly before the end Of this
year says that he knows of no other
sport which is so calculated to tune
up the nerves, fit men to make prompt
decisions and teach them confidence
AS to the latter quality it may occur
to the ordinary man that considerable
confidence is requisite for a man to
take up the pastime.

Ahout Renottlno Plants.

Plants growing in pots in which the
soil has not been changed for year
should be repotted az soon as they be-
gin to show signs of growth. You
cannot grow a good plant in wornout
soil, even If you do give liberal supplies
Of liquid fertilizer. A good soil is to
plants what bread and butter Is to
man. But remember to let it be- ONE
established before giving it very rich
food to digest.

that he was addressing the students,
young gentlemen, hazing must be

week a gentleman declined to give

SEVEN KILLED IN COAL MINE.
Tragedy Caused by Gas Explosion in
Pennsylvania.

SCRANTON, Pa, June 19.-Seven men
were killed outright and two others serious
ly injured in two explosions Of mine gas in
the Johnson No mine at Prceburg late
yesterday. The first explosion, which oc-
CURED about o'clock, was caused by the
carelessness of a doortender who by leav-
ing a door open, allowed gas to accumulate
in the workings. One man was injured as n
result Of this explosion. The second eX-
plosion, which resulted in the death of
seven men and the injury of another, oc-
Cured about o'clock, and resulted from
the ignition of the deadly firedamp which
accumulated after the first explosion.
One man was badly mangled it is i'm
possible to identify the body. All the VIC
Tins were frightfully burned the clothing
being burned off most of them.
Harsh measures had to be pursued by
the mine officials to keep the crowds back,
and hundreds followed the ambulances to
undertaking establishments.
About 1.500 men work in the mine, but
as no account was kept of those who had
come out before the explosion occurred it is
impossible to determine until the rescuing
party returns if the present death list is
complete.

NEED SUPPLEMENTAL BILL
Widespread Doubt as to Ac-
curacy of Count Must Be Re-
solved - Takes 1t for
Granted Ballots Have
Been Preserved.

ALBANY, June 1e.-The Hearst mayor
atty recount bill was signed last night by
Gov Hughes. The governor filed this men,
orandum:
1T is the object of this bill as summarily
as possible to dispose of a controversy
which should have been settled long ago.
"In the mayoralty election in New York
city in 1905 about CAT GOO votes were cast, Of
which, according to the official canvass,
George 3. Mcclellan received 22S,39Y and
William Randolph Hearst 224,923 The ac-
curacy of the canvass was challenged The
election law provides that the ballots shall
be preserved inviolate for six months after
the election and that the boxes may be
opened and their contents examined upon
the order of the supreme court or one of it's
justices, or of a county judge. On the as
sumption that the supreme court had power
to compel summarily any needed correction
of the canvass an application was made for
a mandamus. This was granted. The case
was then taken to the court Of appeals,
where, on December 10, 1906 by divided
court, it was held that the election law did
not authorize a summary recanvass after
the original canvass had been Completed.
For Summary Recount.
Following this decision an effort was
made during the session of 1906 to obtain
legislation providing for a summary re-
count. This without result. In April,
1906, Mr.. Hearst made application to the
attorney general to have an action brought
to determine the title to the office The
attorney general denied the application,
holding that the facts presented did not
warrant his intervention On April 30 1906
the supreme court made an order for the
preservation of the ballots In July 1906
after the attorney generals ruling the cor
porauon counsel moved to set aside this or
der, but the motion was denied, and it's de-
NAL affirmed on appeal. Under this order
1t must be assumed until the contrary ap-
pears, that the ballots have been duly pre-
served.
1T is well known TO all who are CONVEX
SAINT with sentiment in the city of New
York that there is widespread doubt as to
the accuracy of the official canvass The
failure to resolve that doubt and to deter
mine in prompt and decisive manner sat
isfactorily to all far-minded citizens the
result of the election has become grave
public scandal. The denial of all relief

to the mayor to procure the recanvass of
any districts not mentioned.

to the mayor to procure the recanvass of
any districts not mentioned.
1T is also evident that the cost of can
'vass of such districts should not be borne
by the mayor in case his title should be con-
firmed. The present bill provides that If
the result is to seat Mr.. Hearst the city
shall bear the cost. Mr.. Hearst's attorney
has formally stated on behalf of his client
that in the event of the signing of this bill
Mr.. Hearst would ask for recount in every
election district in the city. However i'm
portant this may be a matter of moral
obligation. it cannot properly dispense with
appropriate legislation. Accordingly a sup
Elemental bill has passed the legislature
and is now In the hands of the mayor pro-
viding that he may petition for a recanvass
of the votes in any districts not specified
in the petition presented by Mr.. Hearst,
and that the cost of the recanvass OF such
districts shall be borne by the city.
The Supplemental Bill.
THE supplemental bill provides that moth
ing therein contained shall be held to re-
quire a recanvass in districts where the
ballots have not been preserved. And the
present bill provides that where returns
have not been superseded by others made
pursuant to the recanvass provided for,
such returns shall stand in determining the
final result.
I'm regard to the procedure under the
present bill it.may be observed that If the
petition specifies more than one district, the
court shall appoint as many commissioners
as 1t may deem necessary, not more than
one commissioner canvassing the ballots of
any one district, The matter is thus within
the control of the supreme court which
may appoint the number of commissioners
deemed necessary and allot to each COM
missioner such number of districts as may
be thought advisable The court can be
trusted to deal with the matter inteligently
and fairly and to avoid unnecessary embar-
rassment and expense incident TO an undue
number of simultaneous proceedings.
in the belief that public policy requires
the settlement of this controversy as speed
lily It's nature VIII permit, and that 1t
would be most unfortunate that legislation
to this end should fail, L approve this bill"
