the. niche in which they were working was not filled by the falling debris.
 The imprisoned miners had oil enough in their lamps to allow them to explore their tomb, and in their search for way out they stumbled upon six-inch water pipe, which extended down the shaft and which escaped destruction in the accident.
 Through this the prisoners estab- ished communication with their res =euers and soon drinking water and rations were sent down Then, not satisfied with this crude means of talking with the outside world, they connected their telephone with a wire running tip the water column.
 Although in no need of the necessi- ties of life, the prisoners are still in grave danger, as the ground is still settling, and from time to time it will be necessary to i'll in the space with cordwood to prevent another cavein. Owing to the frequent runs of earth during the last three days it will prob ably be two weeks before they are res cued
 The. rescuers themselves face grave perils in the liability that the piled up muck and timbers on which they are working will give way, dropping them to the bottom of the shaft To pre- vent this each man works with a rope tied around his body and secured from above.

In a short time the schooner was mass of flames, the pirates being marooned in the swampy land without ammunition, food or anything except the clothing they had on All their booty was lost with their ship and they themselves were easily killed or captured by the Mexican au- thorities. The people of Mazatlan pre- scented Brownson with silver serv- ice as an expression of their thanks.

WOMAN SITS ON PIG;
 BUT ONLY FOR MOMENT
FEMALE PASSENGER GETS A BAD SCARE ON A BROOKLYN
 TROLLEY CAR.

New York.-Passenger on Ber~ gen street trolley in Brooklyn didn't pay very much attention when two men got aboard and placed a we'll filled carpet bag beside them. Not until the car reached Buffalo avenue and St. Johns place did the conductor learn that he was carrying a dead head.'
 The two men were engaged in ear stout woman, who climbed On the car and stood glaring at the space taken by the bag. She was carrying a large, square package and shifted un- easily from one foot to the other, but the men kept right on talking and ig- nored her presence.
 Suddenly she turned and sat down on the bag, but the second she did so an agonized squeal from directly un- derneath her sent her sailing across the aisle She landed in a group of school girls, her package knocking off their hats The bag had rolled off the seat and the way the occupant squirmed and squealed caused most of the women folks to tuck their skirts tightly around their feet. One of the men had picked up the bag and was trying to pacify the contents.
 T want those men arrested, shouted the woman. They've got a baby in that bag, tie brutes!"
 Whats in it?" demanded the con- ductor, who figured he'd been done out of a fare. ,e
 .Tools!' chorused the men.
 Thinking the men were fooling him the conductor grabbed the bag. In the tussle which followed the string broke and out bounded live pig. Released from its captivity the porker ran wildly through the car and was finally dragged from under a seat by Special Officer Edward J. Manton, of the s. P. c. A.. who happened to be on the rear platform.
 He placed the two men under ar rest, charging them with cruelty to animals. They said they were Jacob Becker of No. 1516 De Kalb avenue, and Edward J. Lewis of No 432 Essex street, Brooklyn. They were taken to Liberty avenue station.

The Money In 1t.

Joe Cnapple, editor of the National Magazine, is moved to observe that if the human race could be all happy by habit, or even moderately rational there would be little bitterness, and no more of the absolutely needless sacrifice of the nobler and uplifting emotions of mankind To-day" he says, we offer human sacrifices just as truly as did the Aztecs, and our shafts of sarcasm and persecution cut as deep as any sacrificiai knife of old, beneath which the human blood gushed out and stained the great ss5ae slab on which the victim lay bound. True, those who suffered in the old days were not all helpless vic ti.as--some went to the stake cheer fully content to die for their convic tions. They are now made victims for personal revenge and public honors, which could never be attained except by staying those in power, over whose prostrate forms the ambitious grasp the tinsel of glory they coyet, but which they, too, some day will find only broken bauble. It has been said that the way to appeal to an Englishman is through his stomach; let it not be said with equal truth that the way to appeal to an American is through his purse. Too many great questions to-day are considered on the basis Of whether or not there is money in it; but all manhood cannot be bought with gold. or the nations sense of justice dulled by pecuniary gain. Ruskin was one who loved his fellow-man. This great man said: The sum of enjoyment depends not on the quantity of things tasted, but on the viyacity and patience of taste'''

REMEDY FOR SPOTTED FEVER.
Believed to Have Been Discovered by
 pr. Simon Flexner.

New York.-The announcement that John D. Rockefeller had given to his institute an additional $2,600000 is generally understood to mean that a remedy for cerebro-spinal meningitis has been discovered. The discoverer is believed to be Dr. Simon Flexner, chief of the institute. who has been searching the world for meningitis antitoxin ever since MT. Rockefeller promised the gift two years ago in the event of the finding of remedy for the heretofore fatal disease The $2,600,000 gift is to be added to the endowment fund for any use to which the directors may choose to put it. Doubtless great part will be em- ployed in the worldwide exploitation of the Flexner cure.

 After the accident we disconnected the six-inch water column at the pump and they are sending our drink ing water and rations down it. We are living on the best in the land, as everybody wants to send us some thing. Wine, cigars and all kinds of fruits are being sent down. They send down our supplies in small yes sells attached to Q rope and arranged so as to prevent spills.
 After we got the water column opened we connected our phone to the electric cable and we can telephone up and talk to the. men on top at any time.

set with many difficulties, he attained high honors.
 Like Helen Keller, he made marvel ous advancement in his studies and found time also to take up telegraphy and typewriting. He was also one of the most loyal rooters of his class on the football field, following the prog ress of games by the shouts of his classmates. He attended all the the most graceful dancers at the uni versity.
 It required only four years for Clark to receive the degree he sought. He made his course in the usual allotted time. All his books were ot the raised letter kind Many of them were not in print and often he was forced to wait until certain of : his course books as well as his text books could be made to order.
 Latin and Greek were the special ties in the curriculum which Clark sought. He spent most of his time in the study of Latin and received many As, the highest mark given With the Greek script he found much trouble at first, but soon overcame the: handicap, and in his last course in Greek he proved to be the best scholar in his class.
 Clark has been one of the most con- spicuous figures on the campus since he entered in the fall of 1903. At first he was assisted from building to building and from classroom to class
 room by friends, but after years res idence he dispensed with their serv- ices and found his own way, even go- ing to the libraries and searching among reference books
 Clark is uncertain what he will do, but at present is considering going
 into the real estate business.

American Women Slow.

American women seem slow in utilizing one of the greatest labor saving devices ever invented for the householder. Several years ago fire less stoves or self-cookers came into use in Germany They consist of boxes, constructed with doublewalls, containing material that prevents the escape of heat The food is first thor oughly heated on an ordinary stove, then placed inside the box, sealed and left until wanted, when it is taken out, steaming hot, and with all the favors retained that, by the ordinary process of cooking, are dissipated. American men promptly utilized this discovery; fireless stoves have been found invaluable by the army in the west. Why have the women remained apathetic? Is 1t because the self cooker, ,Sas at first constructed was available only for boiling or stewing food? If so, there is no further ex- cuse for holding back, for as Consul General John w Dye writes from Der lin, there is now on the market an improved fireless stove that not only cooks, but fries and roasts, with the aid of heated stone Here is help in solving the servant problem by re ducing the hours of work.

There is at present only one route across the South American continent from east to west which the traveller can take without resorting to mule back journeys for long distances The road is the route from Valparaiso to Buenos Ayres, &which can, except in winter time, be covered by railroan and stage, the railroads at the ends and the stage route, of course, over the mountain passes Two days will suffice for the 900-mile trip, but at that it is not without it's discomforts and even perils. Before many years have passed, however, it is predicted that there will be at least three railroads across the Andes, one of them being transcontinental, the other connecting with steamers on the Amazon or it's tributaries.
