to the worship OF the COW or. to be
precise. Of the, buffalo. Y Their most
sacred temple is a COW house. and
the whole life of the people is gov.
erned by the most rigid observance
Of the routine Of dairy work, every de.
tail OF which is performed with the
most elaborate ritual They alone can
perform the duties of milking and but
ter making who have been duly conse.
Grated for this work BY fasting and
the performance of mysterious rites.
Representing the only priesthood.
they are compelled after their initia-
tion for the rest of their days to play
the role Of the dairyman. The lesser
priests may marry, but the high priest
must be celibate, at least for given
period Of years. Polyandry is the fam.
lily rule, but divorce is unknown.

Negroes will Make Funerals
the Big Events of
the Season. C

Richmond, Va, Dec. 7.-ihe ne
groes of this city are planning to
make funerals in the future great
social functions. They complain
that IL the dead are buried during
working hours the mourners and
their friends cannot get away
without being docked. and SO
there is being formed a company
which will install electric lights in
all the negro cemeteries, so that
funerals may be held at night,
when the negroes are at leisure.
Two meetings have already been
held. and the plan, backed by
influential negro ministers. is as
sured. Many well-to-do negroes
make yeariy contracts with livery
stable keepers by which they are
furnished carriages for funerals
by paying round annual sum.
The livery-stable keepers don't like
the electric light burials.

In the city to present their mail

A couple of days before Christ

carriers went out on his route lad

packages. One of the business men
TO whom he brought the mail daily
handed him fifty cent piece
and wished him a merry Christmas
The man in gray accepted it and
was profuse in his efforts to thank

of the disaster.
| Of these victims, six dead bodies
had been taken from mine No. at
midnight last night and 65 Others
were piled up in the entry, await
ing completion of facilities for bring
ing them to the surface.
From mine No. 8, at the same
hour, IA bodies had been removed
land number of others are ready
to be brought out as soon as ar
rangements can be completed.
Five rescuing parties, with 10
men in each party, are working at
different parts of the two mines to
the end that every part of the work.
Iings may be reached in the shortest
possible time.
Clarence w. Watson, of baltimore,
president OF the Consolidated Goa,
company, was at Frostburg, Nd, and
Immediately chartered special train
to bring him here. After conferring
with the mine superintendent and
other Representatives of the company
he said there was no doubt but that
400 lives had been lost.
The explosion occurred shortly after
10 o'clock after the day force of 400
men had gone to work in the two
mines affected. These mines are
Nos and of the Consolidation
Coal company, located on opposite
sides of the West Fork river, at this
I,,,t tn, hnir
ground workings by heading and
on the surface by great steel tip
pie and bridge.
The five living men are unable to
give any detailed report of the dis
aster or to even explain how they
Preached the surface. They state that
back of them, when thsy
began their frantic struggle for lib
lerty, there were large number OF
men engaged in similar struggle,
while still further back in the work.
lings there were a large number oil
whom they knew nothing.
1t is the oponion OF the mine Of
[ficials and others familiar with
INNING that these seven men had
not penetrated the mine as far as
had the majority of the day shift
when the explosion occurred. and
that they headed for and reached
the main entrance before the heavy
cave-in that now blockades the EN-
trance several hundred feet beyond
the main opening of mine No. G.
AS to the miners referred to by
the rescued men as having been alive
when last seen, 1t is believed that
they were caught back OF heavy
cave-in of coal and mine roof and
that they could not have survived
more than few minutes in the
deadly gases with which the entry
filled as soon as the ventilating sys-
tenn was interrupted. There is more
hope for those in more remote Sec
tions OF the mine, as they may have
REACHED workings where fresh air Is
supplied by other openings. But al
best only the most slender hope Is
lentertained for the survival OF any

lone OF the men in the mine until the
debris can be cleared away and COM
|munication with the outside re-estab-
lished.
4 The two mines regularly employ
1000 men, working in two shifts, 500
during the day and 500 during the
night, and the best information obs
tainaaIle at this time is that the en-
tir e day force had gone to work
this morning and that all were caught
II was shortly after 10 o'clock when
the explosion occurred, and at that
hour even the latest Of the struggling
force is customarily at work, ac-
cording to mine officials. Beyond
these figures the company officials do
not attempt to give estimates.
hThere is much speculation as to the
cause OF the explosion, but the most
generally accepted theory is that 1t
resulted from black damp, scientific
ally known as methane. II is be-
lieved that miner attempted to set
of blast which blew out and ig-
nited an accumulation of this dead
lyl gas and that this in turn ignited
the coal dust, in greater or less
quantities in all West Virginia mines.
The explosion affected both mines
and SO far as now known It has not
been established in which mine II
originated. Evidencipg the terrific
force OF the concuss!ons, props in
the entry of number mine, sup
porting the roof were not only shat
tered and torn from their position,
but were blown out of the entry and
TO the opposite side of the river.
Other evidence Of the awful force Is
shown In every section of the mines
that has been reached by the res
cuers. Huge quantities OF coal and
rock have been loosened and hurled
into every opening and all OF the un-
derground structure is wrecked be-
yond semblance of it's original shape
The entry Of No. mine, 300 feet
from the mouth is piled high with
wreckage of two strings of cars and
two electric motors.
Some OF the rescuers have climbed
over this and found dead bodies be-
yond, but have made no attempt to
remove these to the surface. nartlv
because 1t would be almost impossible
TO carry the bodies over the debris
but more particularly because thew
40 not want to lose any time In
reaching other sections of the mine
where 1t is possible men still living
may be entombed.
Inc American miners OF the town
have been placed in charge of the
relief work, but the Italians and 9th
er foreigners are working under them
most faithfully. 1t Is impossible for
a man to remain long in the DEPTHS
OF the mine, and the rescue forces
are divided in relays. with frequent
reiiefs. Many in the relief party
have already become exhausted and
have been sent to the surface
The mines are owned and operated
by the Consolidation Coal company OF
baltimore. General offices are To-
Gated In Baltimore and the Operat-
ing forces In Fairmont, w. Va, t
The company Is said to be one of
the largest in the bituminous coal in

! The two mines are connected by a
heading far back in the hills, open
ling off No. mine, and their under
lground workings are merged. They
lare also connected on the surface by
the largest steel tipple in the state
land one of the largest in the coun-
try. This structure includes large
steel pier bridge owned by the coal
company. The mines have both
lslopes and shaft entries.
Along the hills, far back from the
main opening on mine No. 8, there
|are number Of openings into the
mime and to these hundreds of rel
atives of the entombed men frantical-

their loved ones might find escape
through these channels, or that they
might be more readily reached and
released So far as Is known, not
"a single man escaped this way and
the would-be rescuers are helpless at
these points for out OF each entry
there is pouring forth a volume of
poisonous .>gas which no human
being can face for more than few
minutes at a time.
The scenes about the entries to the
mines and throughout the town are
even more pathetic and heartrending
than those which usually attend a
mine disaster, because of a larger por-
ton of American and Americanized
foreigners than are usually found In
Ia purely mining settlement

the carrier had to dig down In
