Richmond Times-Dispatch.


There was tinge of romance
about Father Tabb. The reverent
priest of st. Charles College, whose
spiritual vision no blindness could
dim, had been soldier, sailor, musician,
philosopher, poet and Southern gen.
tleman through all. Born under the
spell of tie old Virginia regime, he
had been tuCored in arms and tried in
battle, and passed through the bitter
trial of reconstruction and the woes
of poverty, ere he retired to the peace
full shades ef the old college. There,
amid the gathering clouds of affliction,
he found solace and peace in teaching
boys and in writing those verses
which give him his chief claim on pos
terity.
Father Tapb was not a great poet.
What he wrote came from a heart that
knew and felt the deeper things of
life. But his verse never phrased the
half of what he felt. The limitations
of rhythm and the monotony of rhyme,
to which he ever remained true.
proved too great burden. Only now
and then, through a verse, or even a
line, the deeper nature freed itself an l
found itself in wor6s. Then the mel
ody grew luminous with meaning deep
and inspiring.
Perhaps Father Tabb-the lapidary
among song-makers, somebody once
called him-knew his limitations. Per
haps he was willing to heed Words
worth's commando shine in his
place and be content. He found his
themes in the birds, in the flowers
in the poetic of everyday life; and he
clothed them with the imagery of a
genial heart and kindly spirit. He
saw the spiritual in the natural, and
| naturally voiced the spiritual.

BIackened by Smoke.

Cherry, ILL.,, Nov. 20.-After being
entombed seven days, and weakened
and emaciated by their narrowing ex-
periences and lack of food, between
sixty and seventy miners have been
taken from the ill-fated mine which
was wrecked by an explosion last Sat
urday.
The fact that the men are living is
considered miracle. They were too
weak to talk coherently when rescued
The rescue party this afternoon
reached a wall of debris Through
this they dug. and behind it were
found a number of bodies. At first it
was thought the miners were dead, but
one raised hand, and it was soon dis
covered that the men were breathing.
The rescuers rushed the miners to the
hoisting shaft, where they were car
ried to fresh air and stimulants adj
ministered.
The men were black from smoke,
and a number Of them were badly
burned. From those who were able
to mutter few coherent words it was
learned that the miners, after dlscov-
ering a fire stood between them and
the shaft, walled themselves in part
of the shaft in order to protect them
selves from the flames.
Wild rejoicing followed the rescue
Of the live miners at the mouth OF the
shaft and in the homes.
fo hn after the
fire started in the st. Paul mine, en-
tombing over 300 miners and bringing
upon them what looked like inevita-
BILE death, seventy-eight were rescued
this afternoon when the last ray OF
hope for life had faded away.
Pathos, tenderness, hysteria, and
even humor were intermingled in the
scenes incident to the deliverance OF
the men, who had sat during the slow
passing hours and days with death at
their elbow, into the life-giving air
and into the arms of their frantic fam
lilies.
In spite of their long burial and the
accepted belief that short time under
such conditions seems an age, some OF
the men thought that it had been only
twenty-four hours the fire started and
that today was Sunday.
The men found themselves as they
xzhad saved themselves, and chance con-
trihuted to each event. Cut off by thu
flames in one of the tunnels last Sat
urday, the men had rushed in terror
to the shaft where escape was impos'
;sible and then back to a chamber a
the farther end.
Assembled here under the leader
sssliip of George Eddy, one of the mine
examiners who was below when the
fire started, the entrapped men, pant
ling with excitement and fear, tool
counsel. Soon after they had arrived
at the chamber some rocks and dir
fell into the passage, partly blockin.
it.
This fortuitous happening gave then
an idea or helped them to carry ou
an idea they already had. The mel
under Eddy's direction began to adj
to the obstruction and make barrie
between themselves and the noxiou
gases which would in short tim
certainly stifle them If permitted t

cision of the United States Circuit
Court at st. Louis today in the suit
brought to dissolve the Standard Oh,
Company of New Jersey, which, of
course, is the "granddaddy" of all the
lesser concerns being operated by the
giant corporation, created something
of sensation in government circles.
The news spread all over Washing

received over the wires. At first it
could hardly be credited, as the first
information naturally came in the
shape OF bulletin. But later the pa
pers came out on the streets, and
then it was known to a certainty that
the Rockefeller combination had re-
ceived what seemed to be a body blow
at last.
During the last two years of the
Roosevelt administration there was a
great deal of talk as to what the gov

DEATH OF EDITOR GLIDER.
Mr.. Glider Was a Finished Literary
Man of Charming Personality.

One of the most distinguished lit
erary men in the United States passes
away in the person Of Richard Watson
Glider, the veteran editor of the Cen
tury Magazine, and the most gifted,
perhaps, OF a family of literary broth
ers and sisters whose work has car
ried their name around the world.
Richard Watson Glider was born in
New Jersey sixty-f1ve years ago, and
early in life showed the literary pro-
pensities which he was to crafty in
full measure.
At the age of twenty-six he became
the editor of what was then Scribners
Magazine, and when the Century was
founded he became its editor-in-chiet
la position he held uninterruptedly
until the time of his death.
Mr.. Glider was not only a finished
| literary man, but he possessed 6
charming personality which made him
a welcome friend and associate in 6
large circle of friends.
1t is probable that he was the most
intimate personal friend of the late
Grover Cleveland, unless that honor
was equally shared by Joseph Jeffer
son. At any rate, it was congenia
| Itriumvirate-and now the last of tn,
three has entered into rest.
Mr.. Glider leaves brother, Joseph
and a sister, Jeanette Glider, editor
of the Critic, who occupy high plac
in the literary world.
Richard Watson Glider issued si-
volumes of original verses. It woul
! be mere fu1someness to say that the
viii occupy a high and enduring plac
in American literature, but they ar
marked by delicate charm which re
veal the real poet.
Il Il was as the editor of great mag
azine, which he conducted with ski
and ability, that he will be remen
) bered longest.

DEALT A BODY BLOW
Standard Oil Company Dis.
solved by Courts
Decree.
Decree Becomes Effective in Thirty
Days, When Stay Will Probably
Be Granted As Case Will Go
to Supreme Court.

Ot. raul, NOV. lU.-In an opinion
written by Judge Walter II. Sanborn
of ST. Paul, and concurred in by
Judges Vandeventer, Hook and Ad-
ans, with special concurring opin-
Circuit Court for the Eastern district
of Missouri, today handed down an
opinion declaring the Standard Oil
Company Of New jersey an illegal
combination, operating in restraint Of
trade and ordering it's dissolution. The
opinion of the court was fz....,, s, S
taneously in st. Louis and IN Sc. aul.
In this decision the government of
the United States wins sweeping vic
tory, and according to Frank B. Kellog
of this city, who was the governments
special prosecuting officer, the govern
ment has won every point for which it
contended.
The case will be appealed direct to
the United States Supreme Court, as
the judges who signed today's decree
are in effect the judges of the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals, al
though they were sitting for the pur-
pose of trying this case, as the Cir
cult Court for the Eastern District of
Missouri.
The decree of the court dissolving
the Standard Oil Company becomes eff
| fective in thirty days, when, no doubt,
| a stay will be granted for the purpose
of an appeal. When the decree takes
| effect, unless a stay is granted, an in
junction will be issued restraining the
Standard Oil Company from further
continuance of business under its
present formation.
It appears from the concurring
opinion written by Judge Hook that
| the company cannot do business under
any other form with the object of stiff
ling competition. For, says Judge
Hook on this subject, it is thought
that with the endIof the combination
the monopoly will naturally disappear
But should it not do so and the mem
bers of the combination retire from it
except one who might perpetuate the
monopoly by the aggregation of the
physical properties and instrumental.
ties, it~would constitute violation o
the decree of the court.
In the trial of the case the point wa:
made that the Standard Oil Compan,
was beneficent corporation, in that 1
by reason of economy in operation, re
duced the price of it's product. This
Judge Hook says, should have n,
weight.
The suit terminated by today's deci
sion was begun by direction of the At
torney General of the United States il
ST. Louis, November 15, 1906. Frank
Kellogg, of st. Paul, was specia
prosecutor, assisted by Charles E
, Morrison, of Chicago, Frank H. Pool
and J. H. Graves, Of the Department G
Justice; w. H. Higgins, of Minneapo
lis, and Cordenio A. Severance, of s
Paul.
The Standard Oils legal talent wa
led by John G. Milburn, of New Yorl

ration was the result of natur;
growth of a great industry. and th'
