EsroxBED MINERS ARE RESCUED
Seven Miners Imprisoned Four Days
in Flooded Coal Mine

IN ANN4EN WV
A P~ittsburg. Pa. dispatch Of April 80
says the seven miners that were en-
tombed In the Berwind- White Goal Com
pany's mine at Fsustwell. Pa. for four
days, being shut of from the outer
world by o sudden rush of water caused
By the breaking Of . wall OF an aband-
oned mine, were rescued ut 10 o'clock
tonight. They were greatly exhausted.
Owing to their weakened condition IL
was decided not to bring them out until
after the mine had been drained. The
men were reached by two miners,
Stiney Rodon aud Charles Resm. who
made a dash through 80 feet Of water
filed headings. They came back half
drowned aud reported that portions OF
the headings were still completely filed
with water, and that mor PUMPING
would have to be done before the i'm
prisoned men could be reached. The
efforts at pumping were then ~redoubled,
and ct 10 O'Clock the water had so far
receded that il was resolved TO make
another attempt to break through to the
overcast, where it was believed the men
were still alive.
The w men who made the first at
tempt volunteered for the service. Over
an hour elapsed before either man was
heard from. and then Ream came swim
ming back. bringing the first news from
the imprisoned seven. He reported that
the men we're alive and all in good ON
dition, but that until more pumping
was done the passage to the place where
the men had taken refuge was impass-
able to those who could not swim. 1t
was then resolved to let them remain
where they were until the heading was
pumped out.
During the whole Of the time Of their
imprisonment they had been without
drinking water. fearing to drink the
water from the abandoned workings.
They had been without food for two
days. the supply of provisions in their
lunch buckets. which they hastily
grabbed up when the food came, lasting
only half the time of their imprison-
ment.

Every unprejudiced observer of the
present administration must regard
with admiration the marked change
in administrative, methods which
President Roosevelt has introduced.
The President is firm believer in
the advantages to be derived from
personal observation and contact with
the people. He has, therefore, urged
the members of his cabinet whenever
possible to leave their desks and go
themselves to the scenes of their re-
spective operations in order that they
might acquire a more practical
knowledge of the affairs with which
they are called upon to deal than is
possible where all information is
gained.

1t is weakness, or virtue, of
Presiden Roosevelt that he always
wants his information as nearly first
hand as he can possibly get it. For
instance, he asked Secretary Root
last summer, to visit the countries of
South America in the belief that a
more intimate acquaintance and a
closer familiarity with the problems
which confront our neighbors to the
South would make for more friendly
relations and greater success in any
diplomatic negotiations which may
arise. The same purpose actuated
the President when he asked Secre-
tary Taft to go to the Philippines and
open the Philippine assembly. 1t is
the hope of the President and of
Secretary Taft that the Filipinos may
gradually be educated to a point
where they can successfully govern
themselves. To that end they have
been granted an assembly, every act
of which may be vetoed by the Phil
ippine Commission, which will con-
tinue to be appointed by the Presi-
dent. This assembly they believe
will enable the Filipinos to learn the
process of self government, Mr.. Taft
goes there first to observe the process
which has been made in the islands
since he left there, two years ago, and
secondly to impress upon the people

GUM ARABIC.
Tho Two Glasses, AmberIike and
Bleached, and Their Uses.


Gum arabic, which forms one of the
more important minor exports Of
Egypt, is really the sap from special
kind of tree which grows from three
to five yards in height, whole forests Of
which are found in the Kordofan prov
ince and also near Gedid, in the White
Nile province. The natives are free
to collect the gum. The season during
which the trees yield their sap runs
from December TO May. Prior to gath
ering the crop the natives prepare the
trees by slightly cutting the bark in
numerous places. The sap then ex-
udes, solldities in the shape of large
and small Jumps and is afterward gath
cred by hand. such gathering being
done before the rainy season com
mences.
There are two main classes of gum
amberlilie and bcached. In the latter
the gum Is merely exposed to the
strong action of the sun generally in
Omdurman-while in the former in
stance ii Is allowed to retain its nat
ural amber color. The confectionery
trade is perhaps the principal purchas-
er of gum arabic, though very large
number of other industries chemical

ter press printers and SO on-are inter-
ested in this product Of Sudan.-Chica-
