$50 BODIES FOUND
In a Tangled Mass In Staircase
LEADING. Up from lower
Vein.

Practically all the bodies Of
those that persisted in the Cherry
ILL.,, disaster were found Wednes-
day morning on the staircase at
the mouth of the lower level,
after being entOmbed for II DAYS.
At least $50 bodies we're found,
leaving about 20 to be accounted
for. The bodies were completely
blocking the staircase leading from
the third TO second vein and scat
tered along the vein where they
dropped. Black damp was the
cause Of death.
Two rude wooden veueilating
fans, were affixed TO the shaft
wall and stairway. The men turn
ed thcse~by hand in their ef0rtto
brush back the black damp One
of the dead miners hands were
firmly gripped about the fan.
Many dinner pals were found,
some of them partly filled.
The bodies were found 500 feet
from the main shaft on an elevat-
ed surface where the men had re
treated before the advancing water
and fatal black damp.
I Messages scrawled on wood and
slate placed the number Of dead at
100 or l6S. One message reao:
I'VE are all here to die to-
gether."
To take out the bodies a skif
was lowered to the vein in which
the bodies were found and rowed
across the four feet of water in
the vein to where the bodies lie.
The rescuers who found the
bodies said they found them piled
up on top OF each other IN heaps.
Some of the men had their heads
resting on their folded arms as If
asleep. Others were lying across
each other and some were sitting
against the wall.
On Friday morning the mine
was tightly sealed 10 order to
smother the fire if possible. All
hope of saving any more inmates
alive was thus gone.

BILLION
lm Profits Earned BY STANDARD
Oil Since Its Formation.

That the Standard Oil Company
has made profits Of nearly $500,
100000 in seven years, from 1902
to 1909, is figured out by one Of
Wall streets statisticiaus. This
years profit is d. estimated at $50.
600, 900. The approximate figures,
allowing $50, 100000 for 1909, are
1898. 202, 900. In this time the
company hasdistributed $3l8,5 94.-
800 in dividends.
According to Wall street John
ID. Rockefeller could ui!d several
UNIVERSITIES, organize societies to
stamp out the ''hookworm" and
do othec things that require the
spending Of millions from his
share in the dividends without
touching his fortune from other
sources.
Mr. Rockefeller is supposed to
own about a third of the Standard
Oil stock On that basis he re-
ceiyed SI06, 1913, 900 ont OF the
1918, 594, 300 paid to shareholders
ia the shape Of dividends, or
about 100000 more than the
capitalization of the company.
For the Il years since 1892 the
net profit, of the company are es-
timated. at Sl,049, 442, 064. while
the dividends for The same period
have amounted to 1910, 427 800.

ALCOHOL and
ALCOHOLISM
DISCUSSED BY THf iNTt2NA-

Education of Children as to the
Effect of the System.

Alcohol and alcoholism are two
of the real and substantial enemies
of moral, artistic and commercial

cording to the report of the United
States delegates TO the twelfth H.
terustioual Congress on Alcohol
ism
The c0Ogres, was held last July
IN London, and twenty-five gov
ernments were represented, the
delegates OF each concurring in the
genera finding that alcohol not
only was unnecessary TO human life
and comfort, but was inimical to
both All twelve delegates from
the Uni5ed States signed the re-
port, which condemned the drink
ing habit As dangerous to public
health and morals a3d subyersige

The interest shown in the con-
greso was greater than ever known
before, and an invitation from the

years hence, was accepted.

The Importance of educating
children as to the effects OF alcohol
On tue system was emphasized,
particularly scientific temperance
education ia She public schools, as
Il meanS OF correcting impressions
in the public mind about the effects
of alcohol taxed Ia small doses.
Mrs. Edith Smith Davis, of Mil
waukee, Wis, superintendent of
the Worlds and National Christina
Temperance Union. an American
delegate, urged the necessity of
compelling the curricuIa of normal
schools and universities to include
such education.
The United States. according to
the report, made an unusually good
showing in its exhibits. Germany
also was to the fore with Il partic-
ularly fine collection of coIored
charts showing the effect of alco-
hol on the body, the family and
upon society. Especially effective,
it is said. were the stereopticon
sIiders Of the National Temperance
League of Great Britain.
These stereopticon pictures were
largely reproductions of municipal
