English Trains on Time.

The public service rendered by the
British railway lines, the convenience
to the traveller and the shipper, Is far
In excess of anything to be found in
this country. The British isles are alb
surdly small when compared with our
vast areas, and this of course simplifles
the operating problems. There are no
snowdrifts to delay schedules, no Sec
lions of crudely built track awaiting
perfection, and the locomotives are
never far from their home shops. Yet
even with allowance for these advan-
tages both freight and passenger traffic
are habitually handled with regular
ity and certainty that deserve the high
est degree of praise. In any large
terminal in England the number Of
passenger trains that arrive either ex-
actly on time or minute or two ahead
Is far greater than that of trains even
the least overdue. Five minutes Is usu-
ally safe margin for an important
connection. At Finsbury Park, sub
urban station just outside London,
trains pass on an average of one every
two minutes night and day, yet this
tremendous traffic Is handled with
clocklike Professionally Morris lii At

Fumigated a Coach.

DR.. B!akeslee, county physi-

coach on the south bound M. s. I.
passenger train, in order that no
contagion could spread from a
smallpox patient who had ridden
in the car.
A man named McEadd was
taken from the coach Saturday
and removed to the Beltrami
county pest house. He was af'
fected with smallpox and came
to Bemidji from Itasca county.
He rode in the coach that was
fumigated this morning. McNadd
is now under strict quarantine,
with no possible chance of a
spread of the disease with which
he is afflicted.

overhanging hillside fell, burying
forty of the laborers under masses OF

Those who were not buried began to

gers were sent to nearby villages ask.
ing for help. Several physicians and
large force of workmen were sent
to the scene Of the disaster from Bop.
pard and other towns. The rescue
work, which was continued through.
out the night, was dangerous owing
to the possibility of fresh masses OF
earth falling on the laborers. Most
of the workmen killed were young
men. Among the injured are three
children. 1t is probable that there are
still fifteen bodies beneath the fallen
earth.

Queer Russian Ways.

If you drive through Russian vii.
lage about 10 p. m. you will be struck
by the absolute quiet that pervades
the scene. Not a creature man or dog,
Is visible moving about. The place has
the air Of a deserted village. Suppose
by some rare untoward chance you
come upon group of men standing
together, apparently in conversation,
you will notice that they speak in sub
dued tones, and, wait so long as you
please, you will never hear them
laugh. The cause is simply this: These
Russian peasants believe In evil spir-
its; but, unlike the Chinese, they be-
lieve that they are attracted, not
frightened, by sounds. And so if some
unlucky fate decree that the moujik be
out of doors after II p. m. he is pain
fully silent man. This feeling also ex-
tends to some of. the southern towns.
Kiev, the holy city Of Russia, is a
model in this respect. After 10 p. m.
you may practically have the streets
to yourself.-Blackwoo Magazine.

when Huchanan wa. KIM

when Buchanan Was King,
George Buchanan was a scholar, his.
torian, controversialist and the best
Latin poet Of his age. Buchanan was
tutor to Mary, queen of Scots, and to
her son James, afterward James l. of
England. One day he caused himself
to be made king Of Scotland, and this
was the way Of 1t: Having observed in
James tendency to too ready acqui-
escence, he drew up paper for the
royal pupil to- sign. James did SO at
once without having read it. The doc
ument happened to be a transfer of the
royal authority to Buchanan for fifteen
days, and no sooner had the poet got it
into his possession than he began to
play the monarch, even before the king
himself. James thought the man a lu-
matte until the instrument was pro-
duced by which he had signed away
his sovereignty. This incident was
used by the worthy preceptor to illus
trate the days lesson on the RESPONSE
bllitles Of monarchs.

Cleveland, Jan. THE gas supply,
which was completely cut off here
following the blowing up Of both mains
leading from West Virginia to Cleve-
land, was partly restored during the
morning. The East Ohio Gas COM
pany succeeded in repairing the break
in it's twelve-inch main shortly after
daybreak, which furnished consumers
In this city very limited supply Of
fuel. It is thought that the big eight
een-inch main will be repaired before
night. Both mains blew up almost
simultaneously in a celery swamp in
Summit county. There has been great
suffering for more than twenty-four
hours among the $4,000 consumers Of
natural gas in this city, who, in many
instances, depend entirely on the gas
for fuel. One death, that Of Mrs.
Honora Foley, has already been re-
ported as result of lack Of heat in
her home. Physicians state that many
deaths from pneumonia and ailments
caused by exposure to the cold will
inevitably follow. Many hotels and
restaurants have not been able to sup
ply patrons with warm food.

Ian, MEXICO, HER FIRST
STOPPING PLACE.

San Francisco, Jan. mo further
news has been received Are bearing
on the fate of the Pacific Mail liner
City of Panama, which sailed from
here Monday last for Southern ports.
According to telephone message re-
ceived from PascaderO two liferafts
came ashore at Wardell Beach, six
teen miles south of Pascadero, Jan. 4.
There were on the RATS oars, boat
hooks, barrel Of water and box Of
crackers. Later in the day two more
RATS came ashore two and half miles
below Wardell Beach, similarly
equipped, while off shore a large guam
tity of wreckage was seen floating.
Both Of these RATS, it is said, were
marked City of Panama.
It is known that the steamer, upon
leaving here on Monday in the teeth
Of heavy northwest gale, had some
trouble on the bar, as she was stopped
there for time before proceeding on
her way south.
The City of Panama, one of the old
est vessels in the Pacific Mail feet,
was commanded by Captain A. w.
Nelson, who has the reputation of be-
ing an excellent seaman. He formerly
was in command Of the company's
steamer San Jose.
Over One Hundred on Board.
The vessel carried, besides the cap
tain, First Officer Pillsbury, formerly
she went ashore on Rabbit island near
Honolulu; two other officers, freight
clerk and storekeeper, with crew of
twelve; fifteen men in the engineers
department and eight in the stewards
department. In all the crew num-
bered tifty-six.
There were fifty-siX passengers on
and fifteen were in the steerage. The
other twenty-six were Chinese.
Had the City of Panama continued
uninterruptedly on her way she would
have been due Friday at Mazatlan,
Mex, her first port of call. The Pa
cific Mail boats take the outer course
from San Francisco down, generally
keeping outside the Santa Barbara
channel islands and standing well off
shore until they reach the end Of the
peninsula of Lower California There
they turn into the anchor off the bay
of Mazatlan, which is on the mainland
shore, almost opposite Cape San Luz
cas-, the extreme lower end of Baja,
Cal.
The beach is now being patrolled
for miles watching for bodies which
may drift ashore.
