were thrown at their carriage. A
dragon, was riding alongside, spur

Neither bomb exploded, as the soft
sand reduced the concussion. On eX-

picric acid.
Just before this, as the carriage
passed through one of the streets,
bomb exploded some little distance
away. Police and others, attracted

SNOW PILED EIGHT
FEET DEEP ON
THE RAILS
Roads in Northwest Hampered
BY Blizzard
FORTY MILES AN HOUR GALE
TeIeorahpic Communication Cut Off
and Much inconvenience in
Every Direction

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. ia fleece
blizzard is blowing in the north west
today. The Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and St Paul and Milwaukee
in many sections are showed under to
the depth of eight feet and traffic OF
all kinds is badly hampered. Tele-
graphic communication with many
points in the blizzard is completely
cut off and it is probable that many
trains are stalled.
The heavy fall of snow Is accom-
panied by wind that at times blows
at a rate of 40 miles an hour and the
large drifts piled up by the gale adds
to the difficulty of maintaining COM
munication.
AS yet there have been no reports
of serious injury to property or loss of
life, but coming as it did without any
previous warning the blizzard caught
people unprepared and there is every
reason that much suffering will be the
result.

Save g. Persons from Stricken
Vessel

Singapore, Nov 1.-THE mail
steamer La Seyne of the Messengers
Maritimes service, running between
Java and Singapore and on her way
10 this port, was in collision early yes
terday morning with the steamer On
da of the British India line and sank
within two minutes. Seven European
passengers. including Baron and Bar
oness Beniczky, the captain OF La
Seyne. five others. comprising native
passengers and members of the crew
were drowned.
The accident occurred about o.
clock in the morning in a thick haze.
The vessels were steaming at good
speed and the La Seyne was cut al
most in half. There was no time for
panic nor for any attempt on the
part of the officers of the laundering
steamer to get out the boats. The
majority of those on board were
caught in their berths and carried
down with the vessel.
The force of the collision brought
| the Onda to almost dead stop ana
her engines were at once slowed and
boats lowered.
The rescue work proved thrilling
for not only were the rescuing parties
impeded by the dark, but shoals OF
sharks were already attacking those
clinging to pieces of wreckage in the
| water
Sixty-one persons from the Inflated
steamer were finally dragged into tho
boats and brought by the onda to this
port Many of them had been bitter
by sharks and several are severely in
jured.

MINERS ALIVE
Rescuers Find that Fire No

SUPPOSED SIGNALSREP0R FED
Narrowing Scenes at the Workings
Engineers Obedience Probably
Caused Death of Rescue Party

Cherry, ILL.,, Nov. 15.-There is
room to hope for the rescue of some
of the hundreds of men entombed IN
the st. Paul mine Saturday, as the re-
suit of a fire in the lower mine sta
bles. Expert mining men, who made
three trips into one of the shafts re-
ported last night that the flames were
out and there was no trace OF hlgh
temperature in the depths Although
the men have been in the workings
for more than thirty-six hours since
the fire began, there may be oxygen
enough to keep them alive until res
cuers can reach them.
One hopeful report was that con
cussions had been felt by farmers
over the southern workings of the
mines and that these were of ma
ture to make the farmers believe that
pistol signals were being fred by sur
viving miners.
The list of the missing miners was
compiled yesterday, and it reached
/ the total OF $50, including the known
dead, whose bodies were taken from
the burning cages Saturday. Il is de-
cleared probable that this list will be
4 increased.
OF the men who entered the mine
Saturday morning, ITO have been ac-
counted for.
This little town, clinging to a bleak
patch of prairie, is witnessing such
scenes of despair as seldom are seen
The lamentations of widows and be
reaved mothers. children, and fathers
are heard on all sides.
Wives and mothers have beer
grouped about the shafts of the mine

them have kept up low moaning

have shrieked themselves into hys

GUY PRINoLE THE STAR
Former Local Ball Player Made Most
Of Williams Points

In a game exciting from start to
finish Williams was victorious over
her old rival Amherst. II to o, at VIII
Jamestown Saturday After the some
what ragged play of the first few
minutes the Purple eleven settled
down to a hard fought and winning
contest The Purple and White line
was repeatedly penetrated by the
speedy Williamstown backheld and
with two touchdowns and two goals
from placement the Purple won its
last and most important game of the
season.
The game was almost a punting con
test for the first half. Toward the
latter part of the half Williams rush
ed the ball by repeated gains from the
Amherst 40 yard line to the 10 yard
line. Here Wood drew back and sent
the ball over the crossbar from place
ment. From the center of the field
the Purple eleven went TO the 80 yard
line. Lewis made a spectacular thir-
ty- yard run and Prindle went over
for the first touchdown.
In the second half, after three punts
and a loss on downs, Williams from
it's own thirty yard line went to Am
herst's two yard line but was held.
Starting again from the 30 yard line
Prindle was sent over for the second
touchdown. After long gains by Prin'
die and recovered punt by Austin
Pratt brought the ball on an outside
| kick to Amherst's Z yard line but the
Purple and White held on its one
yard line. Lewis made a fair catch

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION"
Lecture by State Superintendent Ma
son S. Stone Before the FortnightIy

son .. stone 6eIoTe tHe roTth9Hby
Hon. Mason S. Stone, state superin-
tendent of education in his interest
ing lecture on Industrial Education"
before the Fortnightly Saturday after
noon struck the key note of a great
need along educational lines in the
schools of Vermont. This need
which Nj Stone emphasized is the
practical need of manual training in
the lower grades as we'll as in the
high schools.
Mr. Stone said in part that the pass
ing of the old system and ideas
of education along this line
were loss to the pres
entI generation. The old training.
witch brought out the housewifelyl
qualities our grandmothers had
given place to an educational system
devoid of such training. What was
the demand yesterday should be and
is the demand today That is the
need of a training which will fit men
and women to do well that which they
are best fitted to do This result is
only possible through an incorpora-
| ton of industrial education. The
state of Vermont boasts but one in
stitution where such a training can
| be obtained and that institution is the
| Industrial school at Vergennes, where
a boy or girl must be guilty of a mis-
demeanor to enter Mr.. Stone cited
several cases where the training gain
ed in this very institution had been
the means of revealing to its inmates
their abilities and sending them out
into the world to be useful citizens.
The high school, he went on to say.
should cater not only to those intend
ing to go on TO college, but should
furnish a varied curriculum that
would appeal to those sons of toll up
on whom the future of the state de-
ponds. Such a curriculum is incom,
plete without the training in arts and
crafts. Vermont, as an agricultural
state should endeavor to lead her sons
to see her natural facilities and to
train them to utilize them to the best
advantage Manual training cannot
be begun too early in the child's life
and in the lower grades should take
the phase of nature study and teach
ing him to be skillful in using his
hands.
Vermont would do well to pattern
after other states and foreign coun-
tries along this line and supply need
which becomes more evident every
day and which alone can make this
generation useful citizens. 1t is for
the good of the state that such an in
novation be made
Mr.. Mason interspersed his talk
with interesting facts from his per-
sonal experience and investigation
and concluded by very aptly saying,
knowledge is good, Joy of living bet
ter but service is best" the results of
such an industrial education.
