Close stores Sundays.

WOODBURY., n. j., Dec. 25.--When
two corpulent and glistening gum
drops appeared in the collection plate
of the Presbyterian Sunday school. the
oficers depressed smile and started
an INQUIRY. They had some notion that
a considerable portion Of the pennies
that should have been dropped In the
mates had found their way into the
cash drawer OF the candy shop next
door. but they did not feel It incum'
bent upon them to act until the
episode of the gum drops emphasized
the critical situation.
One OF the officers OF the school
dropped into the place and bought a
few gum drops on his own account.
This was followed by the arrest OF q.
w. Scheminant. proprietor OF the
candy shop, or the charge OF Sunday
selling. He was given a hearing be-
fore Mayor I.add today. Scheminant
admitted the charge. and he was told
that the prosecution would 90 no
further II he agreed to close his shop
and safeguard the collection pennies.
He said he would. but that every other
store in the city would have to close

in the wreckage OF the Rock Island
railroad shops which came crashing
down after the explosion lof a loco
motive boiler which had just been
overhauied anu was being tested, five
men are known TO be dead and fifty
were buried in the debris.
Two hundred and fifty men were in
the shops Most OF them had just
stopped for the noon hour and were
seated about the shops eating lunches.
Whether the man who had been test
ing the engine stepped their work and
the explosion thus occurred through
their carelessness has not been deter
mined.
The engine was a big freighter and
the shock OF the blast was felt for
blocks. The man shop is mass Of
Wreckage.
All available physicians and ambu-
lances were rushed TO the scene. A
gang OF volunteer rescuers had been
helping search the ruins for victims.
Fire broke out i'm the ruins Of the
shops shortly after explosion, but was
quickly extinguished.
Wives OF Tn emen who lived in the
ncighborhood heard the explosion and

WOMAN DESIGN
Countess Chotek, Morganatic Wife
Of Franz Ferdinand, Successor To
Throne, Yields Powerful In
fuence Over Him.
She Has Defeated Many Plots by
Royal Court To Separate Her
From Next Ruler.

VIENNA, Dec. 25.-Greater than the
power OF Nine. Vaughan over the Bel
gians that her lover ruled IL the
sinister control that two remarkable
women are welding today over Aus
tria-Hungary, the most polygiot but
proudest empire in the world. One
of these women IL toothless and bag
gard and old. The other Is beautiful,
young, ambitious--a princess.
One influences everything the aged
Emperor Franz Josef does In affairs
OF state. The other Is the morganatic
wife OF his successor to the throne.
This empire long has been held to-
gether only by Franz Josefs sheer
force Of character. He Is now In his
eightieth year. All his power except
over Austria has been won by long and
bitter fighting in royal courts and ON
the battlefield.
His nephew, the Archduke Franz
Ferdinand. also a Hapsburg. will,

Croatia. Slavonia. Moravia, Bosni.
Herzegovina. Silesia. Ruthenia and o
half a dozen other little countries, an
empire in which there are eight races
OF people and 80 tongues.
But he will not be raised to this
place Of power and peril until Herr
Schratt ceases TO hold daily council
with Frau Katrina Schratt. The old
frau lives in a little fat in an out-of-
the-way part OF this great city. She
cooks wonderful gefullte heische and
sweet strudel-two of the delicacies
that old Herr Schratt likes best.
In the evening the old man, dressed
! as colonel, knocks at her door. and
when it Is opened by Frau Katrina
herself. the doors or Hungarian cook
ing are borne out from her kitchen
Soon Schratt and the old woman are
seated at dinner. Later Herr Palmer
an old banker, totters In with a smirk
and a smile. After him comes Isaac
lOppenheim. another banker. who Il
greeted by the other three. The dishes
are cleared away and they play cards
for an hour or two. At length old
Herr Schratt signs, and the other two
men leave.
Schratt caresses Katrina, and thei.
withered lips meet in a kiss. Then
an orderly clicks his heels at the door
and Herr Schratt. or Emperor Franz
Josef, for they are the same, walks out
to go to his palace for the night. Three
undred and sixty-five times a year this
happens. Nine. Schratt is the Nine,

When the time came for the Arch
duke Franz Ferdinand TO take up his
duties as inspector general of the
army, he was named unofficially heir
to the throne. Franz Josef was anxious
that his nepew marry some woman or

the younger man came out. He was
already secretly married. His NOR
ganatic wife had been on alb obscure
Bohemian countess.
The Austrian law prohibits anybody
except a princess of royal blood to be
empress. Yet the Princess Chotek. as
Franz Ferdinands wife is known now,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Headquar-
ters of the American Mining Congress
have been opened in this city to pro-
mote legislation for the establishment
Of a national bureau OF mines.
James +. Galbreth, Jr., secretary OF
the congress, says:
Few realize the terrible conditions
that prevail in the mining industry.
In 80 years more than 10000 men have
been killed and 100000 injured in the
coal mines alone In 1907. 3125 men
lost their lives in the coal mines
nearly five men In every coal mining
camp OF 900 men. Contrast this with
the one or two men killed In every
thousand employed in foreign coun-

Then the time to sleep Is come, and
the troubles OF Abdul Hamid begin,
because the old man is afraid OF the
dark. Night for him Is torture. In
the first days OF his seclusion II was
impossible for him to close his eyes.
He did not dare to sleep on his bed,
taking a nap on the sofa for few
hours. But now that he is convinced
OF the safety of his life his sleep is
more regular and his dreams more
pleasant.
THE ex-Sultan usually sleeps with
his son. Abdul Rachim. The reason
for this Is obvious: the baby Prince
is extremely nervous, and should
somebody come and try to kill Abdul
Hamid in the night, Abdul Rachim
would be the first 10 awake and notify
his father.
abdul Hamid has every comfort In
his prison. He lives well, and were
he of greater culture he could devote
ali his time TO study or write his
memoirs.
But for the time being he likes the
company OF his cat and his parrot
better than any occupation of intellec.
tual character: he is prisoner. and
he is determined TO live as u prisoner,
unless freedom comes.
is there any hope Of that? We
know as every guardian of his knows.
that many efforts are being made In
order To give Abdul Hamid a way 10
liberty. And this is the reason why
ever one OF the soldiers on duty IN
the villa Alattini has pledged his head
aA a guarantee against any attempt ut
escape ON the part OF the ex-Sultan.
