FORAKER or OHIO.
The Fire-Aiarrnist and the Strenuous
.: Teddy in strikina Contrast.

Z
Foraker fights at the drop of the
hat, and all his fights are conducted
on personal basis. He is not a man man
who battles for an ideal, for a cause,
or even for a party. His tongue and
his brain are for Foraker, from the
first dash outsof the box to the Gar
rison finish. There is no poetical SEN
timentality about Foraker's moves in
the game, says Slone Gordon in d
highly entertaining character sketch
Of the Ohio senator in the December
Hampton's Broadway Magazine. For
aker fought Hanna. We fought McKin-
ley. IN 1903 he therefore supported
Roosevelt and sang the praises of
the president from every stump. He
was the recognized distributor of Fed.
era1 patronage in the Buckeye state.
Then there was a quick, intense fall
ing out. The real truth has never
been told about that split. It may
be denied even now, but here it is:
Foraker repudiated Roosevelt and in
private conversation denounced him
as a hypocrite on the day following
the presidents demand that the Re
publican national treasurer, Cornell
ius Bliss, return certain corporation
moneys which had been contributed
to the Roosevelt campaign Of 1904.
Foraker has always insisted that Mr..
Roosevelt not only knew all about the
contributions and their source, but
that the president was a party to their
solicitation. Therefore, Foraker con-
sidered the presidential show Of hor-
rified surprise and Of righteous in
dignation' as hypocritical, and did not.
hesitate to say SO.
That was the real beginning of the.
final split between the senator and
the president With characteristic
vigor, Foraker made remarks about.
Roosevelt. shortly afterwards. at the
washington Gridiron club banquet.
Roosevelt returned the attack and
Foraker came back with few sledge
hammer blows that nearly created a
riot ga 4. {
No foolish notions of Justice and
fair play made Foraker advocate the
cause of the negro soldiers at Browns
vile, Texas.

the ladies returned to the Hotel Arcadia, where they found the din- ing room converted into an elegant ball room, the gentlemen, clad in evening costume, awaiting them, and the orchestra just ready to be- gin the entrancing strains of a de- lightful waltz. And the dancing was continued until the time ar- rived for the guests to go to their train to make their departure for Guaymas.
 In departing the guests assured their fair entertainers that they had been entertained right royalty, and all had happy words of praise and commendation for the com- mittee of three ladies, who had planned and carried out the days entertainment, Mesdames Hostet- ter, Muller and May; and par. ticular credit was given the first named lady, who was the head of the committee, whose management had been superb.
 And the successful day added another to the long and brilliant list of social successes for which the Sonora capital is far famed.

Beyond Cananea.

The following is from the Bisbee Review of Tuesday:
 News has come from Del Rio, So- nora, of operations being com menced on the extension of the Southern Pacific road which is be- ing completed between Del Rio and Nogales. The new work was com menced four days ago, and about 150 men are being employed on the work. A huge steam scraper is also in operation on the work, as are about fifty mules and num- Der of small scrapers.
 This new road will run in an easterly direction and will cross the Nacozari railroad at point near or at FronteLas, continuing on its course to the Rio Bavispe, which is tributary to the Yaqui river. The Southern Pacific Com pany, it is stated, has been permit ted to cross the Nacozari railroad at two different points, but they have not been permitted to parallel the latter road.
 Arizpe, it is also stated, will be another city which will be touched by the new railroad. From this point it will possibly connect with the new road built by the Southern Pacific between Cumpas and Naco- zari.

Mrs. W. H. Walker Injured Severely.

It will be learned with regret that Mrs. w. H. Walker was sev- erely injured at Calabasas, Friday evening of last week, at the railway station. With Mir. Walker and some of the others of the family the lady went to the depot to meet some friends coming from Tucson. The train stopped little short of where expected, and the Walkers ran down alongside the train to reach the platform of the sleeping car, from which the expected guests were about to alight. In some way in the dark Mrs. Walker stepped into a hole, or a rock turned under her step, throwing her to the ground and breaking her leg in two places below the knee. The lady was taken to her home as carefully as possible. Her little daugh- ter Gladys was sent in the dark, making the trip alone and bravely, to the farm of Mir. Ralph McCorkle, getting him to come into Nogales and call Doctor w. F. Chenoweth, who responded quickly and went to her succor with all speed. The broken bones were set, and every thing possible was done to alleviate the suffering of the injured lady. She is reported improving, and do- ing as we'll as can be expected.

| vided a most agreeable substitute. The party were shown through the beautiful house and grounds, and wine was served. There were flowers everywhere, and military band in front of the house dis coursed sweet and stirring music. An amusing feature was that while the visiting ladies had been given in charge of the local ladies' com mittee, with the injunction that the men would be busy elsewhere all the day, the latter followed the ladies right over to General Torres place, and participated in the en- tertainment.
 After an hour at the Torres resi- dence the ladies took their carri- ages, which had been decorated beautifully with flowers during their stay, and went for a drive about the city, including the beau tiful "Parqce Ramon Corral" The drive finished the party were driven to the orange orchard of General Torres, where a sumptuous colla- tion had been spread upon tables beneath the trees.

A Dutch lunch was served, and afterward the ladies were taken to the cupola of the building, where they feasted their eyes upon the beautiful panorama spread below. Separating from the gentlemen again the ladies went to the Ga thedral, and then to the Palace of Government, and were shown through both structures,
 From the Palace the ladies were conveyed to the residence of Mrs. Max Miiller where everything had been arranged beautifully for their entertainment. The spacious rooms had been artistically and elegantly decorated with flowers, and in the large reception hall there was an orchestra which discoursed the patriotic and national music of Mexico. Between the numbers, Mrs. Muller, who is an accomplished pianist, entertained her guests with admirable execution of the Amer ican patriotic airs.

considerable numbers of our labor

U.s.. COAL MINES TAKE
3,l25 L|vES IN AYEAR
Geological Survey Statistics Show
5f3I4 Persons Were Injured
in 1907.
WORST IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Death Rate Among Miners in That
State Is 1885 Per Thousand
Blasts Not Greatest Danger.

Accidents i'll coal mines of the INIT
ed States during the last calendar wear
resulted in the death of 1925 men and
injury to 5,314 more, according to STA
tistics made public by the geological
survey.
The death record among the coal
miners during the year was greater by
1858 than in 1906, and is said to have
been tne worst year in the history of
the coal industry. The figures do not
represent the full extent of the disas-
tiers, as reports were not received from
States having no mine inspectors.
West Virginia reported for 1907 the
heaviest death rate, 12.35 per thousand
employees. and that State also showed
the lowest production for each life lost
$500 tons New Mexico stood next
on the list with a death rate of 11.45
and production of 1920 tons for each
life lost. Alabama was third, with Il
death rate of - per thousand and
production of 2535 tons for each life
lost.
Missouri had the lowest death rate,
heading the roll of honor with 90 and
400, 142 tons Of coal mined for each life
lost.
Statistics do not bear out the popu-
lar idea that most mine disasters re-
suit from explosions. OF the total num-
Der reported during the last year 947
deaths and 343 injuries resulted from
gas and dust explosions and 201 deaths
and 416 injuries were caused by pow
der explosions.
The chief cause of death among the
miners, the report claims, was the fall
ing of mine roofs and coal. Such disas-
tiers caused 1,l22 deaths and 2,141 in
juries.
E. w. Parker, chief statistician of
the survey, asserts that much benefit
will result from the action of Con-
gress in appropriating $15000O to in
vestigate mine disasters and take steps
to decrease the number of accidents
each year. He says one of the greatest
needs of the coal mining industry is
the enforcement of military discipline

Sees with a Rabbits Exc

DR.. Henry r. Lesser of New York de-
scribes in the Medical Record the remark
able opera ton by which he recently graft
ed the eye of a rabbit to the optic nerve
of blind man, so as to give him sight.
He says the patient is a young man of
"a years, blinded through measles at the
age of 9, so that his right eye was entire
~ useless and the left darkened by a
dense leucoma. He was placed on one
grain of mercury with chalk three times a
day for two days before the operation,
and the eye was bandaged with dressing
of bichloride the night before. The eye
was irrigated and cocaineized and a disk
cut from the cornea, and in its place
was affixed a disk from the eye of an
S-months-old rabbit. The vision, after
three months, improved so that the pa
tent could count fingers and get about
unaided. Also, he is beginning to learn
colors again.
