The Worlds Rainfall.

The total rainfall over the whole
world is given by Fritzsche, as 465.3OO
cubic kilometres ca kilometre is about
one-fOurth Of a cubic mile), per year,
which is equivalent to uniform depth
of 81 centimetres (centimetre about
% of an inch) Bruckner gave 81 cen
timetres. The rain falling on land is
estimated by Frltzsche at III $40 cubic
kilometres per year, by Bruckner at
122,540 cubic kilometres, and by Muir
ray at 122,31S cubic kilometres per
year. The amount given by Fritzsche
is equivalent to a depth of 70 centime-
tres, Considering only the land which
is drained by rivers into the sea, it is
calculated that only 80 per cent of the
water returns to the sea in this way,
the remaining 20 per cent being remov.
ed by evaporation.

SABBATH DAY
IS KEPT HOLY
''BIue" Sunday Sure Enough
in New York-LaW Likely
to Be Repealed.

New York, Dec. S.-New York today
treated its millions of residents and
tens of thousands OF weekend visitors
to the novelty of a thoroughly blue"
Sunday. the first and probably the last
in the history of the metropolis. The
aldermen will meet Thursday to mod
ify the ordinances so far as their au-
thority goes.
Broadway was deserted except for
those who found nothing better to do
than to walk the streets. Upon the
closed doors of the opera houses, thea
tres, music halls, dancing academies
skating Kinks and penny ercades pla-
cards mad been posted. These bluntly
announced that the places had been
closed for the day in accordance with
Justice OGorman's decision. At the
theatres even the box offices were
closed ana the advance sales for the
week Interrupted.
The "blue" Sunday restraint was
applied only to places of amusement
and tonight some Of the theatrical men
declared that from saloon standpoint
the town was unusually wide open. It
was not denied that ali places having
licenses of any description had done a
big business, but the police insisted
that they mad not permitted any vio-
lation of the liquor law.
AS the evening grew late and the
crowds left the cafes on Broadway be-
gan to fill up, and soon a throng such
as seen on New Years eve and cleo
ton night was moving up and down
the popular thoroughfares.

Chicago, Dec. S.-Delegates to the
national Republican convention will
find the Coliseum. the big hall where
the 1904 gathering of the party was
held, improved and enlarged. Just as
soon as word was received in Chicago

which have been under consideration.
and as a result the big structure will
be remodeled 20 as to seat $4,000 per-
sons, 5000 more than the minimum
requirements of the party leaders.
The building is unique not only for its
great seating capacity but also for its
light, acoustic properties and ventila-
ton. At the south end of the Coliseum
proper is an annex of two floors. either
one of which is large enough to accom-
modate all the delegates. The upper
hall of these two has galleries under

HURLED TO DEATH
BY FAST TRAIN
Man Thought to Be Walter
Neal of Garfield Killed While
Crossing Tracks.

A man believed to be Walter Neal. a
carpenter formerly employed in the Bos-
ton Consolidated mill at Garfield, was
run down and almost instantly killed at
800 yesterday afternoon by an Oregon
Short Line passenger train in the north
yards The opinion of those who saw
the fatality was that it was case of
suicide.
As the train was entering the yards
the engineer saw a man standing beside
the track. Just as the locomotive had
almost reached him he stepped on the
track Before the engineer could stop
the train the man was struck and hurled
from the track striking on his head He
was found by the train crew uncon-
sciOuS beside the track. The l.. d. s. am
bulance was called, but before the am
bulance reached the hospital the man had
expired. Death was due to a fracture of
the skull at the temple.
There We're no papers or money in the
man pockets, or anything by which he
might be identified. On his shirt, how
ever, appeared the name walter Neal. d"
In the city directory the only Walter
Neal given is carpenter at the Bos-
ton Consolidated mill and lives at Gar
of the mill and has not been for some
time. No trace of him could be found
last night. Whether or not he and the
dead man are identical has not been de-
termined.
The dead man was about 35 years old.
of medium stature. His complexion and
hair were light. He had rather prominent
cheek bones. His clothes were neat and
his general appearance was not that of
a tramp. That he was resident of Salt
Lake or vicinity is shown by the fact that
the suit of clothes that he wore bore
the mark of Barton & Co. of Salt Lake.
After the arrival of the body at the
hospital DR.. ]. c. Landenberger physician
for the Short Line made an examination
and determined the cause of death was

London, Dec. 8.-Count Edward Sizzo
of Norris, a member Of a wealthy and
prominent Austro-Hungarian family
and connected with the diplomatic SER
vice, died from morphine poisoning in
his room in London on Friday night.
1t is supposed that he took an overdose
of morphine, as he had been suffer-
ing from insomnia and was in poor
health, but the idea of suicide is not
excluded.
Count Sizzo had an adventurous ca
leer, an incident in his life being u

Fire Breaks Out Again.

Shortly after ) o'clock this afternoon fire
broke out again in mine No. s and the
rescuers were at once ordered to the
surface.
Thousands of sightseers from the sur
rounding towns had gathered about the
openings. Through megaphoneS the
crowds were notified of the fire and the
danger of another explosion, but they re
fused to leave, and it was with great
difficulty that the special police, assisted
by many miners. forced the people to
seek places of safety.
Efforts were then directed toward eX-
tinguishing the fire and it is thought
that it will be subdUed within a few
hours.
1t was said by members Of the rescu-
ing party that over a hundred bodies
have been located in both mines and that
they will be brought to the surface
soon as the fire has been extingUished.
1t is not believed the fire will reach any
of these bodies

Hanging Galleries.

The ordinary seating capacity of the
great main hall is 10000. This can be
increased to 1900 without overcrowd-
Ing, but present arrangements leave
too much waste space \ beneath the
great galleries which encircle the main
floor. 1t is proposed to utilize this
space by the construction of hanging
galleries which will accommodate 3. 200
spectators. This will give a greater
seating capacity than has been availa-
BILE at any previous national conven-
ton.
The Coliseum is easily accessible to
transportation lines and is within
walking distance of all the principal
hotels in the downtown district. The
Cottage Grove avenue and Indiana

Contest Over Will.

The warrants for the arrest of Brown
and Bartnett were obtained today from
the district attorneys office by the at
torneys for Helen SacEer, who is con-
testing for portion of the Cotton es-
tate. Mrs. Ellen NJ. Cotton, widow of
the late ID. d. Cotton, who was asso-

most her entire estate TO Mrs Caroline
Dahlgren of Washington. d. c., one

her granddaughter, Helen NJ. B. Sach-

contested in the courts of this state. It
is alleged that Mrs. Cotton was induced
to make the will as she did by undue
influence exercised by Bartnett and
Mrs. Dahlgren.

Heart Breaking Scenes.

Heartrending scenes and incidents
crowded fast one upon another in this
sorely afflicted mining community today.
Funeral professions were I'm sight in all
directions during the entire day. On the
way to the cemeteries these solemn lit
tie professions were constantly going and
passing vehicles coming from the mines
laden with victims en- route to the mOrguC,
there to be placed in baskets and pre-
pared for another series of funerals.
About twenty victims were buried to-
day in the three cemeteries near the
town. The services were simple and
brief and except for the grief of the
mouTners which at times became almost
frantic were without special feature.
Several of the services were interrupted
by women fainting, causing mOmentary
excitement, but this was soon dispelled.
Women Become Insane.
Many women believe their husbands or
sons will be still found alive and refuse
to leave the vicinity of the mine. When
bodies are carried from the mine these
women become almost insane, screaming
and pacing back and forth. and calling
aloud the names of their loved ones. One
woman overheard a man say that most
of the bodies were badly mutilated. With
a piercing shrek she fell to the ground
and was carried to her home near by.
Tonight she is still unconscious and her
who lost her husband refuses to believe
he is dead. She has put clean linen on
his bed and insists that he will be brought
to her
Il know he is injured. and nobody can
take care of him like | can she said.
She prepares his meals regularly, neigh
bors say as she has done for years
thinking he may come for them.
Survivors Need Relief.
That stage has been reached where re-
lief for surviving dependents of the VIC
Tins is necessary. aud much progress was
made in that direction today. Several or
CARNATIONS have been Incorporated and
the work is being systematized. Churches
are taking the lead in this work. The
coal company is showing a liberal spirit
and is using money freely to relieve dis
tress. Great quantities Of food were dis
tributed today.
The fire which started in mine No. S
this afternoon is now under control and
is said to have done little damage. Res
cue work will be resumed as soon as the
federal and state authorities finish an in
vestigatiOn they are making and pro-
nounce conditions safe.
