Forbach, Germany, March 17.--As

Up to late hour 81 dead men and
IL men dangerously wounded had
been brought to the surface while 40

that only one Of the remaining ten

Forbach, Germany, March 16.-An

Last night, resulted in the death Of

were In the shaft at the time of the
explosion are still missing.
Over 100 others escaped into adjoin.,

Two hundred and ten men went into
the mine at 5 o'clock last evening AMI
about midnight the news was spread
to the villages near by that terrible,
disaster had occurred Almost the
whole population of the countryside
gathered at the mouth Of the shaft,
among them being the families of thel
men below. Rain was falling heavily
and the most distressing scenes OF
grief were witnessed as the bodies
were brought up by twos and threes
and laid out under a blaze of electric

RAILROADS TAKE UP TIME.

Washington, d. c., March 17.-Ques-

dents time yesterday. During ths
morning there were informal talks
with some of his callers on the sub,
ject, dispatch came from President
Mellon Of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford railroad asking for an ap-
pointment to see him, and in the after
noon there was a visit from Governor
Deneen and Attorney General Stead
Of Illinois. A semi-official denial was
made that the governor and attorney
general talked either finance or raiI.
roads. From statements, however,
which have come from authoritative
quarters preceding the governors
visit, the inference is drawn that there
was some reference during the talk
with the president to the Chicago q

MILLIONS TO CHARITY.
Last Testament of Oil King VIII As.
tonish The World.


New York, N. Y, March 18.-The
Herald says that according to a men,
Der of John D. Rockefeller, Jr.'s bible
class and who is also personal
friend of John D. Rockefeller, and In
a position to know of his affairs, the
latter purposes soon to make a prince
ly gift to the city of New York, which
will amount to at least $4,000, 900,
partly charitable and partly educa-
tional.
The Herald adds:
"This man informed a Herald re-
porter that when Mr. Rockefeller was
comforting with his son at Lakewood,
N. j., fortnight ago, the meeting
was not for the purpose of discussing
any immediate gift, but was on the
subject Of Mr.. Rockefeller's will,
which document the oil king was then
completing with the aid of his SON
and his lawyers, and 1t Is said that
this document will astonish the
world when it is made public tit
will, 1t is declared, donate no less
than $250,000,C COO for charitable and
educational purposes and 1t will be so
bestowed that the benefit therefrom
will at least be perpetual.
"In his will, the Herald's informant
states, Mr.. Rockefeller has provided
these three things-bequests for re-
ligious purposes, though not of large
sums; liberal requests for education;
and what are described as princely
requests for charitable purposes. 1t
is said that there is scarcely man,
woman or child that will not benefit
in some way by these prospective do
nations" 8,

clipping" in Europe.

According to immemorial usage, Eu-
topean servants are entitued to tips
as an assured part of their income.
At the hotels the theory is that the
landlord furnishes a guest a private
room and the use Of the public rooms,
heat and light, food and dishes, but
not mental service. For convenience
he keeps at hand corps of servants
who will respond to the guests sum-
mons, but at his expense. In old
times, says Travel Magazine, travellers
were attended by their own servants
to wait on them. The modern custom
echoes the ancient. The traveller no
longer carries with him a retinue OF
servants, because he can hire temper
arily those of the landlord. The Gus
tomary fees are the payment. To
avoid feeling is really to cheat the SER
wants, who need all they can get,
heaven knows. A chambern aid at the
best hotels receives as wages only
about two dollars month. Tipping
servants In America is a regrettable
limitation of the European custom,
without its resting on the reasonable
basis of the foreign institutions.

American Chivalry.

Toward women the American mans
attitude is fine. She is neither his
deity nor his doll. He simply treats
her with Difference. His chivalry has
as little to do with saccharine utter
ances, scraping feet, and Bonded
knees, as has his patriotism with hys-
terical shriekings and the waving Of
ensanguined flags. He is stronger In
his silence and apparent submission
to the ladies of his household than thu
most blatant vulgarian who prates o
domestic domination. Place aua
Danes is more than a phrase to tho
American man. His Unborn respect
for her rights" often causes him to
sacrifice his own God-given privileges.
Upon the face of the earth or upon
the waters thereon, says Minna
Thomas Antrim in Lippincott's, exists
no more chivalrous being than the
American gentleman.

RESUME OF THAW TRIAL.

With Attorney Delmas fighting
every inch Of the way, District Attor'
ney Jerome secured from Abraham
Hummel his complete story as to the
affidavit which 1t is alleged Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw made in the lawyers Of
fee In 1903, charging Harry X. Thaw
with beating her when she told him
that the statement that Stanford
White had drugged and ruined her
was not true.
That Harry X. Thaw stripped on
Evelyn Nesbit's clothes and logged
her cruelty before she was married to
him because she would not tell lies
about Stanford White" was argued
by District Attorney Jerome in court.
The prosecutor was telling, in the
hearing of the jury, what he intended
to prove by the testimony of Abraham
Hummel, the disbarred and indicted
lawyer, his arguments serving the
same purpose as would the testimony,
should Justice Fitzgerald overrule
Mr.. Delmas' objections and permit 1t
to be given.
District Attorney Jerome scored Oh
the defense in the Thaw trial by Sc
curing the admission of testimony by
James Clinch Smith, brother-in-law OF
Stanford White, who said he talked
with Thaw just before the killing and
he seemed entirely sane. The attor.
neys made tentative plans for the clos
ing stages of the trial.
District Attorney Jerome attempted
to introduce testimony to disproveo the
story told by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. but
was completely blocked by the ob1ec'
tons of Attorney Delmas and the re-
newed ruling of Justice Fitzgerald
that young Mrs. Thaw's story was ad'
MISSILE only as tending to show the
effect 1t might have had in unbalan'
cling the defendants mind, and that
its truth or falsity is not material.

Again comes a statement going to
blow the great access Of prosperity
that has come to the farmers Of the
country, notably in the west, from a
succession of big crops. The receipts
from this source have enabled the
farmers to pay off an enormous
amount of mortgages and to put great
sums of money in the banks, which
explains the abundance of funds In
some western quarters and the lack
Of need of drawing on the east for a
supply. The latest movement by the
farmers is toward forming a combina.
ton, or trust, for maintaining and
regulating prices. Is it possible that
the lair of the octopus is to be re.
moved from Wall street and other re.
sorts Of high finance and located on
the boundless prairie?
