The Immense Transformation

I NET Lady Gregory AT an auspIcous moment
IL There had just been produced in the Irish National
Theater piece called The Play Boy of the West -;
and this piece owing 70 some crudities. and what
supposed to be libel on the character of the
Irish peasantry had raised scenes of tumult and
even hing approaching to a rot in the heater
for he previous week. Lady Gregory had been
OF he people who had defended the play against
this popular censorship, and was of course full of
the subject But Is not her general ConVersat ION
on which | dwell. ii Is curious little sentence
She uttered which has remained with me and which
is the keynote OF the article writing. |
conveying TO her he impression had got from even
my few DAYS in Ireland that there eXtraor-
binary amount of movement IN the country; in
short that ireland was alive again You seeing
III ireland" said Lady Gregory, not merely
revolution but a renaissance And then She went
on to say those words which ring in my ears-they
sounded FIRST almost grotesque There is
much going III Ireland that you darent
leave il for even month" So much going on III
ireland that dare not leave it for a month!
Strange striking. language applied 70 Ireland,
from which escape any other land seemed for more
than half a century to be the most burning desire
and chief ambition OF her sons and daughters!

Opposed to Woman Suffrage.

The Tribune is in receipt of The
Remonstrance, the organ of the fe,
male anti-woman suffragists of Mas
sachusset.s 1t sets forth lucidly and
forcefully the objections which its
publishers and patrons believe exist
to the 'burdening," as they term it,
of woman with mans responsibilities.
They believe that the tendency Of the
assumption of political privileges and
responsibilities will necessarily be to
divert the attention and energy of
woman from the home. They regard
it as step backward rather than for
ward in civilization. The entrance OF
women into so many avocations here
tofore occupied by men has, in the
opinion of these remonstrants, been
fraught with evil consequences. 1t
has hardened woman and enervated
man.
In Europe the female suffrage
movement is chiefly in the hands of
Socialists, and its extension is mark
ed by many of the demoralizing ten
denotes of that organization.
The plea for the home, for the care
of children, and the sacredness OF the
marriage relation, made by these
women remonstrants is sane and SEN
sible.

Medical men are coming round to
the view that personal history is Of
primary importance or, in other
words, that a mans own manner of
life, his record of health and his cir
cumstances should be much more
carefully considered than the illnesses
that his ancestors have died Of DIR.
Rabagliati, medical examiner for in
surance companies who is we'll known
in the profession which he adorns
and of high repute in the north of
England, has devoted much thought
to this question of heredity from a
life insurance point of view In his
opinion it is not so much disease that
is transmitted from one generation to
another but organization, or human
ity' as he expresses it. Any member
OF the human family may suffer from
any disease to which humanity is sub
ject, and when an individual SO suffers
it is the cause of the ailment that
must be inquired into Exposure to
this or that set of conditions brings
varying results. If the body is ex-
posed to one set of conditions it will
take on govt; if to another, consump-
ton; if to third, cancer. and so on.

Saarbrueck, Prussia Jan. 2s.-As
a result of two explosions today in
the REDEEM coal mine at St. Johann
on-Saar opposite Saarbrueck 300 per-
sons are dead ami fifty are injured
thirty-6ve of whom, it is said, will lie
Fire damp exploded early in the
morning, killing more than 200. Res
cuers Immediately entered the mine
and another explosion occurred, kill
ing scores.
Up to 6 o'clock this evening seven
ty-seven bodies had been brought to
the surface and fifty-six corpses wers
known to be still under ground. Only
fifty live men have been brought out
and of these the doctors say at least
thirty-6ve surely will die, as they are
frightfully injured through having
been hurled against the walls Of the
galleries by the force of the explo-
sion.
During the afternoon the efforts al
rescue had to be suspended, but be
for all the rescuers had reached day
light second terrific detonation was
heard underground. 1t is estimated
that the death list from the two eN-
plosions reaches total of 800 men.

The interstate commerce commits
sion Monday sent to congress a re-
port of the Investigations made by it
under the Tillman- Gillespie resolu-
ton approved March last, concern
ing the relations of common carriers
by rail to the production and distribu-
ton of petroleum and its products
east of the Mississippi river, and in
cidentally, the Kansas and Texas
fields.
The report points out generally the
methods by which the Standard Oil
company "has built up and perpetu-
ated its monopoly and the relations
of transportation agencies to that
monopoly" 1t is asserted that "the
ruin of its competitors has been a
distinct part of the policy of the
Standard Oil company in the past,
Systematically and persistently pur-
sued" Considerable of the ground
covered has been gone into fully in
the report on oil and its distribution,
made public by the bureau of corpor-
atoms.

Terre Haute, Ind, JAM 29.-The
Indiana railroad commission today
took its turn in the investigation III
the disastrous explosion of a car OF
powder at Sanford.
Members of the train crew were ex-
amined, but did not throw light on
the explosion. The testimony of the
experts, notably DR.. John White OF
Rose Polytechnic institute, was that
high explosives, such as dynamite
Eliminates of others, would leave no
trace of their presence but would
pass off in gases. Nor would it like
ly have made an odor distinguishable
by these in the wreck. Therefore, ii
evidence is to be had of any explosive
other than the 500 kegs of gunpowder
as billed by the American Powder
company from its factory at Concord
crossing, Mass, it must be by dis
closures in connection with the load
ing of the car or by the Equitable
Manufacturing Company which has a
factory at East Alton, ILL.,, for the
manufacture of cartridges Fulmin-
ates for caps or for the percussion oil
cartridges might have been in the car
DIR. White says Eliminates are cap
able of ignition from several causes
one of which Is SDoufaueous cor1fbrrs
ton.

Opposition to Subsidies.

The science of subsidy bills, is a
very simple one, but it is not preach
ed in high places. No subsidy should
be given to millionaires to encourage
ocean lines because we have million
aires by the ton who could establish
such lines as playthings and plenty
who would build them if they paid
per cent on the investment
To make rabbit potpie you must
first catch the rabbit and if our mil
lionaires are sharp enough to wait
until the rabbit is caught le. congress
emulate their sagacity. t. Republi-
can party needs to steer ar Of all
such steals as would be reckoned
against it if Hartman Hill, Morgan
& Co. got subsidy upon no grounds
except gall. Four millions a year will
build the Chicago ship canal to the
gulf and be a better campaign docu-
ment for 1908 in the working mans
eyes than al the subsidies dreamed Of
1t is time congress stopped voting
money to milfionaires The doctrine
of protection as originally taught and
as still demanded by the toiler was
for the purpose of making prosperity
for the poor and not for the rich. And
the Republicans congress don't
want to forget this. Voting money
to millionaires is abusing the doc
trine.

That a meteor set off the car OF
powder and caused the disaster to the
Big Four passenger train at Sanford
last Saturday night, is the assertion
of R. E. Brown of Edgar county, IL
linois. Mr.. Brown. said that at the
time of the explosion a large meteor
passed over his place 1t appeared
like a great ball of fire, he said, and
made a noise like strong wind. The
meteor, said Mr.. Brown, was moving
in the direction of Sandford, and left
a trail of sparks. Almost immediate
ly after its appearance, he said, the
explosion occurred. Other people
living in the vicinity stated that they
saw the meteor.
The crew of the freight train in
which the powder car exploded testi-
fed at the coroner's inquest that they
believed the explosion was caused by
leaking powder being ignited by a
spark from locomotive. 1t was pos
sible, they said, that dynamite had
been struggled into the car with the
powder.

The Independent Farmer.

Comparatively speaking, what an
affluent and indepedent gentleman
the farmer is. The city man is the
victim of the butcher, the baker and
the poor gas maker. He pays for
every thing he gets except air and
would be glad to pay for that if he
could get the country kind Not so
the farmer. Though his fields are
broad and his fences high and strong,
he has neighborly feeling for every
one who lives within ten miles Of
him. His pastures and poultry yards
supply his meat and eggs, his garden
fills his vegetable cellar every fall
and his PENTHOUSE is stocked with
fresh canned and cured fruits in abun-
dance. He works leisurely through
spring and early summer, rushes a
little during harvest and then spends
the winter doing chores and cutting
his years fuel.

For Two-Cent Fare.

The first state in the Union to es-
tablish 2-cent fares by law was Ohio
The second was Michigan and the
next will be Indiana.
The 2-cent fare bill before the leg
islature will be passed without oppo-
sition, says the indianapolis Star. The
railroad Caesars came, saw and did
not conquer. They have met the en-
envy, but he is not theirs. The law
will not go into effect until sixty days
after its passage; it may not even
take effect until July. 1t may allow
a differential for higher fares on
trains, but this will likely be a NOM
inal fee for stated graduated distances
and not cent or fraction of a cent
a mile. But it will cut fares down a
third, and the railroads will try 20
look as pleasant as possible.

MARS HIS w1FR's BEAUTY.
Husband Hurts Boiling Coffee in
Face of Pretty Bride.

Elkhart, Ind, Jam 29.-Dis6gured
for life, the pretty young wife of Os-
car Prahl, an expert machinist, lies
at the home of friend in a serious
condition as the result of his jealous
attack Seeking to make her less at
tractive to others, Prahl snatchsd a
boiling coffee pot from the stove al
their home and threw the contents in
her face.
The incident was the climax of a
quarrel in which he had accused her
of inhdelity. Her right eye was dan
gerously burned and her physician
fears the sight is destroyed. The
scalding coffee. grounds stuck to her
flesh and inflicted deep burns
Mrs. Prahl, who was strikingly
handsome woman, will go through
life with ugly scars on her face
Prahl was arrested.
His hearing has been continued un-
til the extent of his wife's injuries is
more definitely known, when the
charge of assault, on which he was
arrested, may be changed to that oil

The Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette,
the Democratic organ of Allen coun-
ty says:
United States Senator Bailey, OF
Texas, attributes his political troub-
les to the Hearst newspapers. Sena-
tor Bailey while ostensibly repre-
senting Democratic Texas, was really
representing the Standard Oil trust in
the United States senate and was on
the pay roll of the octopus Mr..
Hearst exposed the Texas charlatan,
but by the use of Standard Oil money
he was returned to the senate some
days ago by a single tote above the
necessary majority in the legislature.
All these years the Democrats OF
Texas have been proclaiming against
trusts and monopolies and all these
years Bailey was in the service of
the arch enemy of competition. But
the power of Bailey is gone in spite
of his election and we want to COM
pliment Mr.. Hearst and his news
papers for the unmasking.

We will pretty soon be compelled
to develop international merchants:
England, Germany and France are
great manufacturing countries, and
they hunt the world for markets for
25 per cent of their products and
they go with their own ships.
In the last century there were
great conflicts for territory The cen
fury in which you are will witness
the greatest conflicts in the world for
markets. God grant that they may
be bloodless, but they will be just as
intense as any that have gone before.
And just as certain as the world, we
are going to need international mer-
chants. If you young men think that
we have had a surplus of agricultural
products all these years and are no:
soon going to have surplus OF man
ufactu-ed products, you are mistaken

200 ENToMBED IN MINE.
Dust Causes Explosion in West vir.
ginian Colliery.

Charleston, w. Va, Jan. 2s--Two
hundred miners were entombed by an
explosion caused by dust in the Stew
art mine near Lafayette tonight. Fiji
ly-seyen men are known to have per-
ished and the list may go much high
err Every effort is being made to get
out the men still in the mine, but the
work is greatly delayed owing large
ly to the fact that the shaft Is 56s
feet deep.
The mine is owned by the Stewart
Colliery Company, and has been in
operation for about three years, brit
is not fully developed. the work az
developing being done on the double
entry system.
