SAD SUICIDE OF A JAckASS.
It's Grief for the Loss of Dog Too
Much for Its Nerves.

GREENWICH, Conn.,, Nov. 2O.-This
is the story of a sentimental jackass
and it's suicide.
The iackass was owned by John
Boies, a neighbor of Ernest Thomp-
son Seton, at Cos Cob. 1t had as a
friend and companion, dog which
was killed by a trolley car in front OF
Mr.. Boies' house.
The jackass witnessed the tragedy
Evidently it's nerves were uns:rung. A
little later when another car came
along the desolate jackass leaped over
the fence in front of the car AMI per-
ished. The car was derailed.
The Seton Indian tribe, composed of
neighborhood boys, are so certain that
the jackass in lis grief for the death
of it's friend committed suicide de-
liberately and did not merely seek to
,lerail the car out of revenge, that they
will attend the funeral of the jackass
in a body.

Jacobs Creek. Pa. Dec. 23.-Search for
the victims of last Thursdays explosion

company was practically suspended this
afternoon because it could only be con-
tinued at great risk of sacrificing the
lives of those in the rescuing party.
Gas in ominOus volumes was encoun-
tered today. the deadly fire damp espec-
tally menacing the men. FOrty-six bodies
had been brought to the surface and a
number had been located when those in
charge of the rescue work called a halt.
The rescuers had penetrated within
about one and a quarter miles of the
end of the workings when they were
obliged to stop. The air had been foul
all day and the relays had to be changed
every two hours instead of every four
as heretofore. and finally the gas became
so dense that it was decided TO concen-
trate all efforts upon improving the ven-
tilation by bratticing off more headings,
increasing the currents of air and fore
ing the gases out before attempting to
penetrate to a greater depth 1t has been
expected that most of the bodies would
be reached tomorrow, but on account of
the delay the rescue is likely to be delayed
until Christmas day. although il is prob
able a number of bodies will be brought
out tomorrow.

METHODIST VIEW
OF LABOR UNIONS

Declares Head of West
ern Book Concern.

Cincinnati, O., Dec. 23-"The greatest
tyranny on earth is the tyranny of an

concern of the Methodist Episcopal
church
In some places" said Dr. Jennings.
there is a belief on the part of the
wOrkingman that the church is prejudiced
against him. This is not so. This idea
has originated largely from the hOarse
from those who spend LOCO a year in
saloons and not a cent in church Hard
~ anything more than such a miScOn-
ception can be expected from those who
hold their meetings on Sundays, in sa-
looms orr back of saloons
1.-THE wage question has been crowded
to the limit" DR.. Jennings declared. If
this thing keeps on much farther the
breaking point will certainly be reached.
Crowded Too Hard.
why, brethren. I could tell you things
that have happened right here in this
book concern within the past fifteen
months that would open your eyes. The
Saturday nights work is not half so
hard on the workingman as is his Sun
day nights carousing. l tell you right
now that things are being crowded toe
hard in this country. There has got to
be a limit.
IF the workingman does not go TO
church it is because the wOrkingman does
not want to go to church l don't see
that he goes to church any more when
he gets his Saturday half holiday for rec
reation than he does when he has TO work
all dav Saturday. 1t is the whisky bill
that the wOrkingman pays that is his
ruinatiOn."
