II Is largely due to this that we owe
the present craze for tableauX wants

promised to be among the dullest n the

While the innovation meets with the
disapprovaI Of some Of our old-fashioned
and straightlaced people, it cannot be
denied that the change has been for
the better. II has served to relieve

Yachting Season viii Be Dull.
According to present appearances the
yachting season this summer Will De the
dullest and most dismal In years. Boats
threaten to remain q perfect drug on
the market. There is little or no de-
mand for the purchase or charter Of
yachts. and so few VIII be put into COM

Robinson Engagement Broken.
Among ell the many engagements
which are constantly being announced
for Cupid has been exceptionally busy
this winter-I have to place on record
the breaking OF OF a widely heralded
and 9. still more widely discussed match,
namely, that OF Miss COrinne Douglas
Robinson and young George Draper, /
While the rupture OF an engagement
always attracts notice. and may be re-
zn~ded in a way as a handicap 10 the
brightness OF the matrimonial prospects
IF the young girl concerned, yet in the
,ase of Miss Robinson no one is much
surprised.
II has long been known the Douglas
were averse TO the union and
hat their hand was virtually forced In
he matter by the premature announce
mont Of the engagement In this cOun-
try while they were abroad, leaving
hem confronted with the alternative of
slther acknowledging it or denying the
news. which they could not do with any
regard for the truth. Their action.
however, In continually putting of the
date Of the wedding and in constantly
taking or sending their daughter
abroad. gave plenty of evidence Of their
views in the matter.
II popular rumor Is to be believed,
Miss Corinne Douglas Robinson, who is
a niece of the President, has been as
sisted In her compliance with the wishes
Of her parents through the bestowal OF
ner affections elsewhere, and after
decent interval il is on the cards that
another engagement of hers will be
announced.

FOUR DIE IN TUNNEL
OVERCOME BY GAS WHILE AT
 WOREk. q,
Ten Others Were Sc Badly AMectea That They Were Taken 10 n
 HOspital--No Theory For

Baltimore. March -7--Fourteen rail road iaborers were overcome by gas in the Pennsylvania tunnel here today.
 Four died and ten were so badly af- fected that they we're taken to a hos pital. The others revived. Three of the dead ara negroess the other is a white man. The men were al work grading in the tunnel which extends from North Avenue just west of the union station. to Penn Avenue. It forms one of the series of tunnels of the Pennsylvania road under this citv.
 The dead: Charles Roseleaf. (whIte) assistant foreman; Charles Williams. William Nefeld, Edward Johnson. the last three being negro laborers.
 There were twenty-one men in the tunnel. Besides the four dead. ten were overcome. while the remainder were but slightly affected. S0mo of these latter crawled a distance of three blocks to an opening and gave the alarm. A rescuing party with an en- zine and one car was sent into the tunnel and the dead bodies and the remaining workmen were taken to the union station. Two, who were in a se- rious condition and seven others less affected, were sent to the city hospital. where 1t was said later that all would recover.
 Discussing the accident, Joseph B. Gilmer, assistant trainmaster of the Pennsylvania Railroad. said that the men had been working about three hours and trains had been passing all the morning and none had been appar- ently affected. All were overcome at the same time and all dropped at about the same time. Such an accident. ha added had never before occurred in their tunnels. He could advance no theory for the presence of the gas.
