BOATING IN VENICE IN WINTER. Pleasant Exercise on the Finest Row

D0A A11NT IN NEN1CE IN w IN IIIl. Pleasant Exercise on the Finest Row.
 ing Course in the World.
 There are days, and at times hor- rible long weeks together, in the Eng fish winter when even the most con- vinced wet-bob will not venture out on the river, says The London Globe. It is then that one may sigh for the South. These who have lived in Venice will look back with happy memory to the winter there, when on the sharp lest, shortest January day it was al- ways possible to get the exercise one needs on what is perhaps the finest rowing course in the world. To the tourist the lf-Byzantine queen city of the Adriatic is gondolas, St, Marks, the Florian and canals to the oarsman 1t is lagoons, sunsets, 'and-fogs There is a rowing club in Venice that would make no discred- itable show against many an English eight, and their hospitality is bound less. In one of their lightest outrig- gers a sprint over, the lagoons be- comes the veriest joy of easy pulling. The gondola, which, in spite of it's beauty and the poets, is only dis guised species of barge, can be out dlstanced in a moment; the penny steamer that fusses about between the outlying islands and the Riva dei Schiavoni may be raced, and once out in the open water it is only the torpedo boats darting down the coast to Ancona that will pass the oarsman. Before the latter prudence dictates an early surrender.
 Only one obstacle mars winter boat ing in Venice. There are fogs there scarcely less dense than London's se- cond best efforts and they are apt to come on suddenly. The plight of the unhappy oarsman who has to feel, rather than to find, his way back, is one that even an enemy would not re- joice over. The clinging damp shuts out every light and every landscape. There are shadows and mudbanks

easy to ground on and difficult to es- cape from. There is the possibility of mistaking the channel and pulling up lat last wearily on the most distant | of the outer islands, whence it is al- most hopeless to pick a course back. and from which no steamer is to be Ihad, while the necessary gondolier turks in an evil smelling cafe and leaves his business to look after itself.
 But fogs are rare, and against these drab days when the world and the wa ters alike vanish in sullen mist may l be more set off the Wondrous beauty | of the sunset. Artists and word paint CTS have done their best at description. but they are a feeble folk who give faint idea of the radiant contrast of tint and shadow that steals across the campaniles and lengthens on the la goon. After a few minutes of increas- ling splendor it vanishes out to sea; the subdued ripples of the ebbing tide, which lap against the craft moored |here and there, appear as if anxious to follow the power that has kissed
 them into such recent glory. But the
 gold, transformed to ruby and then
 dull copperS as twilight fled into the
 Adriatic, is soon changed again to sil-
 yer by the rising moon.
 It is then, in the later days of Feb
 ruary, that a night trip becomes en-
 joyable When one has wandered in
 the stuffy Venetian streets all day
 and danced promiscuously with the
 carnival crowd all the evening 1t is a
 relief to get away from the noise and
 the revelry into the spacious silence beyond There will be litle life in the
 lagoons. The steamer to Trieste or
 Plume may beat the shallow water into momentary tumult. A party in a gondola, tourists all will applaud their hired singers vociferously, and wonder what they havJ been listening to, A police boat may pant past scenting contraband traffic further down the harbor, and from the now distant Piazza San Marco will ring out an occasional echo of the band, the cock growing of some more fer vent nerrymakers and the quarter chimes of the great city clock. Other- wise there will be nothing but the sweep of one own cars to be heard. In general, one is well advised to keep to the lagoons.

 wherever he appeared don't recall his first name-perhaps
 twas Tom or Joe l know that somewhere, somehow, he

 won fame; think as I recall 1t, that Lawton was
 his name; We gave him praise and loudly we
 cheered as he rode by; We hung our flags out for him-but
 I've forgotten why. And there were Captain Phillip and
 Schley and Clark and Cook; We cheered them for the noble and
 fearless part they took; I don't just now remember how they
 were great or when, But am almost certain that they were
 gallant men, And there Is yet another whose name l

THE NEW DOUMA.

When General Trepoff found the crowds assembled to witness the open ing of the first Douma too large for comfort, and too unruly for safety, he used guns and sabres and killed to the right and left, and the Czar dissolved the Douma and ordered the election of another. The new Douma has as- sembled and organized, and though the crowds on St. Petersburg streets were too large for comfort and too unruly for safety, General Dracheffski, suc- cessor to General Trepoff, only used whips ucon the shoulders of the crowds and dispersed them more ef- fectively than the guns and sabres of Trepoff did,
 So far so good, and quite a gain. Nor does it look as if the new Douma would be speedily dissolved, as was the first one Beyond that there are no clear indications of what has been or will be accomplished by the new Dou- ma. The radicals will, of course, ask more than can be granted, and the government may not be willing ito go as far as it should. Time will tell. It will be highly encouraging if there can be @ session of the Douma with out dissolution and without such ac- tion as will be ridiculous or intolera- ble.

NOT LIKE CONNECTICUT.

If Massachusetts ever finishes her State House 1t will be worth going far to sec The old State House didn't seem adequate, and so six millions or more were spent under Governor Ames and his successors in enlarging it.. The completed structure has been de- scribed as resembling a train of cars, with the dome for the locomotive smoke stack. Now, more millions are to be spent in erecting another side- hill extension which will reach nearly down to Cambridge street, between Temple and Hancock streets, and will be eight ste" ties in height, on it's north erly side. The length of the whole structure, when this addition is made, will be considerably more than an eighth of a mile. A legislative com- mittee has approved the expenditure of a million and a half dollars for the extension, but it is believed by those competent to judge that it cannot be built for less than five mil- lions.
 Compare this situation with that which exists in Connecticut, where we have an adequate and beautiful build ing, honestly and meritoriously built within the appropriation. Verify we have done some things pretty well in this State, though, of course, there is still grief over the disappearance of the Grecian temple known as the old State House from the New Haven fy.oow

The probation system seems to work as well in Massachusetts as it does in Connecticut. Judge Gaskill of the su- perior criminal court, in a talk to the Jury the other day, said that he was a first believer in the probation sys- tenn as exemplified in the superior crim- inal court of Boston. He said that he was shown list of those who had been put on probation in the Middle sex county court last year, and the percentage of those who had gone the straight and narrow path was very gratifying one. He also said that the criticism that had been made of late in magazines as regards the delay of the courts in reaching cases surely does not apply to the Massachusetts courts. and the honorable justice said that it must be apparent to all that the courts are not institutions to rail- road men to prison"

< Inglis Stuart writes to the Sun that, in his opinion, the Maine woodpeckers are innocent of tearing up the Maine hornet nests in winter to get at the cold storage food inside. According to my observation, extending over many years," he writes, "these nests are sought by the small snow birds as a shelter winter nights. These birds can readily squeeze through the en- trance hole, and once inside bestow themselves snugly between the combs. The passing in and out of creatures far more ponderous than the agile hornets tends, after comparatively short period, to rip the home apart"

Dr. Lyman P. Peet, president of Foo chow College, says that the present oc- casional outbreaks in China are chiefly anti-dynastic. He has no doubt that the world will ultimately see a united Japan and China. He was asked by a recent visitor whether that coming day will find the Chinese as formidable fighting men as the Japanese. T do not know the Chinaman of the north, :" he replied. "I know the southern China man very well, and I should not be at all afraid of that material. I think the southern Chinaman would not stand against any organized disciplined force with firearms. He would drop his gun and run"

VIOLENT WAS DEATH
Dismembered and Disfigured
Bodies Broughtto Surface.
MAKES THE NIGHT HIDEouS
FOREIGN Miners Who Escaped the Dis
aster Followed Their Holiday Custom
Of Drinking to Excess-Rescuers Re-
port Mine Badly Damaged.

JACOBS CREEK. Pa. Dec. 20.-of
the 200 or more miners who were made
prisoners in the Darr mine of the Pitts
burg Coal Company by a terrific explo-
sion at noon yesterday, the bodies OF 80
this morning lie in the main entry where
they were tenderly laid during the night
by the brave rescuers, until they can be
brought to the surface. Some of the
bodies are iismembered and all are dis.
torted by the agony OF violent death and
disfgured and begrimmed by the con-
cussion and the smoke and dust of the
explosion.
: Faint though it is, hope is cherished
by rescuers and grieying friends and
relatives that some of the men may
have survived the explosion and are
awaiting release far back in the mine,
For this reason the rescuers did not take
time to bring out the bodies as they
were found, but continually pressed for
ward, their only aim being as soon as
possible, open a passage to and explore
every section of the mine.
Beginning this morning, the bodies
located during the night will be brought
out as rapidly as possible, while the
search continues. The foreign miners
who escaped the disaster made the night
hideous in the little village. They had
suspended work because OF the holiday
and most of them followed their usual
holiday custom OF drinking to excess
Many were intoxicated before the
catastrophe and afterward they got
themselves in worse condition, some
drinking on the celebration of their
escape and others drinking to drown
grief over the death of relatives OF
friends. All night long there was ca
rousing and disorder, at times bordering
closely upon rioting

NEW YORK, Dec. 20,---Secretary Taft
returned today from the trip around the
world bringing renewed assurances OF
Japanese friendlmess toward the United
States, but declining to say anything re-
garding the political situation in this
country. lie said he had been too long
out Of touch with affairs In this country
to discuss them in any way. Regarding
the Pacific fleet, Taft said the sight
when they sailed must have been mag
nilcent, He said the Pacific belonged
to this country, as much as any one, and
could not see why we should not send
our ships there on practice cruise. The
Japanese are too highminded and intel
ligent, said Taft, to misconstrue the
meaning. He said his visit to Japan
was only incidental to his mission
to the Philippines and II was only oour'
tesy for him to pay his respects to the
Emperor The trip through Siberia and
Russia was made partly to save time,
and partly because he has made the trip
across the Pacific six times, and wanted
to see the territory. He predicts West.
ern Siberia will some day be the center
of population of the Russian Empire
He was much struck with the person
ality OF the Russian Emperor and with
his familiarity with American politics

experience, dining one day with an Of

for bomb. This was General Guer'

The pittsburg Coal Company has ar
ranged to provide Christian burial for
all Of the victims and will bear all ex,
penses connected with the funerala
1t is believed that a majority OF the
victims are Americans.
The rescuers report the interior of the
mine badly damaged. As they advance
they are compelled to rebuild much Of
the bracing that was blown out and a
great deal of bratticing is necessary Ia
make possible the ventilation of the re-
mote sections, There is a shortage OF
many OF the supplies needed for repairs
and the work of rescue will OF necessity
progress slowly. The distance from the
mouth of the mine to the most remote
sections is said to be about three miles
and it is thought many of the bodies will
be found near the end of the working
Nothing definite as to the number Of
men in the mine has yet been learned.
W. R. Woodford, vice-president Of
the company, said early today that he
did not believe there were over It's men
entombed He said he and his fellow
officers felt that there was scarcely a
possibility OF any of the men still being
alive, but on the remote chance that
some may have survived the greatest
possibles volume of air is being force,l
into the mine and the openings made as
fast as possible. Mr.. Woodford believes
the explosion was due to gas.

JACOBS CREEK, Colo, Dec. 2O.--Only
six bodies have been brought to the
surface of the Darr mines, where yes
terday between $50 and 100 miners were
imprisoned by a terrific explosion and
probably killed. Others have been locat-
ed and Lie in the entry waiting removal
to the temporary morgue. Most are still
hemmed in by heavy falls of slate a
mile and half from where the rescuers
have penetrated. The rescue work has
been stopped until necessary work Of
bratticing can be done and ventilation
supplied To provide these safeguards
will require many hours of time and it
is not believed the great mass of bodies
will be reached until tomorrow after
noon. Conrad South, crazed with grief,
by the death of son and other rela-
tives, ended his own life by drowning in
the river near the mine. President Nit
chell of the United Mineworkers, has
telegraphed authorizing the district Of
fetal to draw on the national treasury
for $1,000 for the relief of families OF
the victims.
