ed to a trellis, and the turfs in which
each runner terminates will bloom.
and when over other runners will
come out, which should also be at
tached, arranging each one so that
space is left for further growths. AS
they increase the older ones will
gradually become nearly woody in
texture, and during winter, according
to treatment, will produce profusion
of bloom.
One is informed that the plants un-
der good treatment will last for sew
eral years. Then there is method
of growing them as standards by
roofing the stem end of the runner
and tying it up TO a stick in pot. Let
the top growth go until the desired
length of stem is reached, keeping all
lower growths cut away. Then let it
fall over a wood trellis, and train the
runners on it. These forms prove
sources of interest and pleasure, and
1t is hoped the sketches indicate
clearly how the plants are to be
trained.

The Garden.

People can live without gardens.
Vegetables are not necessary to the
support of life, but they come in
handy once a day in a we'll regulated
family. Bread and water will keep
one going, but it is a pretty weak mo-
tive power for the human body, even
when meat and coffee are added. Vari-
ETY. is the spice of life, and it is cer-
tain that variety in food promotes
healthful, vigorous life. Only a few
leading vegetables are required by
the ordinary family and they are cas-
lily raised. Beans, beets, lettuce cab
bage, tomatoes, okga and turnips are
all easily raised, and the garden that
is abundantly supplied with these will
add much to tho table. Then the gar
dener can ada as many others as he
has time and space for. The man is
shabby sort of fellow who does not
provide for a good vegetable garden.
Plant beans every two or three weeks,
so as to have succession of crops.
If beets are too thick, transplant
them They boar that we'll.

Valuable By-?roduct.

Manure is one of the by-products
of the dairy which should be figured
in, in estimating the profits. AS farm
ing land becomes more scarce and
high-priced, armers in general are
coming to realize the importance of
making their land rs fertile and pro-
ductive as possible, The large, final
profit of the dairy to the man who
owns his own land is the manure by
which he is not only able to grow
larger crops, but to increase the fer
tility and actual money value of his
farm.

Heroic Preacher.

Paul said III this farewell sermon,

lem, not knowing the things that shall
befall me there" He was not cow
ardly fleeing from trouble, he was go
ing herOically, where he was sure he
would get worse, and more of it. He
did not know what form it would take,
but he felt sure that it was inevitable.
Many man in his circumstances
would either have had a call" in
some other direction, or would have
gone on his miserable way full of la
mentations and groans, but this great
hero was as calm as if he was going
to his coronation. And he was.
Paul was one of the most abused
men that ever lived and his troubles
generally came upon him unexpected
ly, like lightning out Of clear sky,
but he was heroic. 1t vas we'll Ior
him, as it is for US, that it was 50.

times he WAS to be beaten, and stoned
and shipwrCcked and imprisoned, and
how much he was 10 suffer from hun

cross of sacrifice. But the true child

boys at Birmingham, north of

construction crew last night and ran
the engine several miles. They then
reversed the engine and started for
Birmingham, throwing the throttle
wide open. The boys were unable to
stop the locomotive and jumped off
All of them were injured, five seri-
ously.
The engine, which attained a speed
of more than a mile "a minute, crashed
into freight train in the Birmingham

NHERRY, III, Nov. 15.-There are
800 or more miners entombed in
the st. Paul mine by last Satur-
days disaster. Some of the bodies lie
buried beneath thousands of tons of
earth, which has caved in upon them,
and it is doubtful if many ever can
be recovered. This was the opinion
expressed tonight when attempts at
rescue work, carried ON night and
day for 48 hours, were temporarily
abandoned. Renewed fires in the
mine made further descents by res
cuers impossible. Fans employed in
an effort to carry fresh air to the i'm
prisoned men served only to enliven
some sparks (which sprang into a
flame. Soon the heat and smoke be-
came so dense it was necessary again
to seal the mouth of the hosting
shaft, and tonight men down there,
whatever their condition, are locked
in as effectively as in a dungeon.
Whether the bodies will be taken out
tomorrow depends upon the condi-
tion of the internal fires. 1t is pos
sible that steam and chemicals pro-
ducing carbonic acid gas, will be
forced through pipes to the bottom of
the mine tomorrow. These will have
a tendency to choke out the flames.
1t was learned that 800 coffins have
been ordered, half of them to arrive
tomorrow and half the next day.
Hope hung frequently in the balance
today. Before the fires broke out
again the rescuers descended four
times. Then the rumor circled quick
ly through the grounds that the men
below had been reached and that they
were not brought up Immediately be-
cause they were exhausted by lack of
food.
They are alive!" cried hopeful
mothers and relatives. They'll be
brought up pretty soon."
But the truth was far different. The
rescuers did on one occasion go down
800 feet to the bottom of the hosting
shaft. Then cropping their way with
electric lamps and kept alive by oxy-
gen stored in their helmets, they pene-
trated $50 feet into the bottom gallery
But none of the miners, either dead or
alive, was found.
Hey, are you there?" cried the res
cuers, cheerily, but nothing was heard
in response.
1t was conjectured that the miners
had crawled for safety into receSses

1905. Boston and Philadelphia were
brought within the scope of the in
vestigation today with the report that
the government would attempt to OBJ
tain back duties on sugar in those
cities while the investigation went
on in New York with repeated rumors
of reaching men higher up"

for the government in the cases. de-
clined to discuss this phase of the
matter
William Loeb Jr, collector of the
port, also was inclined to be reticent,
but he repeated it was through the in

Is Not a Violation of
"Open Door Principle
Position Assumed BY State Depart
ment Anent Chino-Jap Treaty
Pronounced Diplomatic

VAIASHINGTON, Nov 15.-The state
wv department today issued a state
ment to the effect that the re-
cent Chinese-Japanese treaty is not a
violation of the principle of the "open
door"
Recent treaties entered into by Chi
ma and Japan as to the operation of
coal mines along the South Manchu-
rian railway and the Antung-Mukden
railway do not create monopolies, and
hence are not violations of the "open
door" or the equal opportunities"
principles, to the observance of which
all leading powers are pledged. This
is the conclusion reached by the state
department after a long and careful
investigation of the questions involv-
ed. The department today issued the
following statement:
"In view of the widespread public
ity of the statement that the recent
Chinese-Japanese agreement relating
to Manchuria created for Chinese and
Japanese subjects a monopoly to
carry on mining operations along the
South Manchurian railway and the
Antung-Mukden railway, which would
exclude Americans from an extensive
field of industrial enterprise, inquiry
has been made of the two signatory
powers, and official assurances have
been received from each to the effect
that no such exclusive claim to min
ing rights was intended by the agree
ment; and that If minerals are found
by Americans and others within the
designated territories no objection

ers Mr.. Mcdonald early abandoned
hope that any of the miners would be
brought up alive.
President Earling of the Chicago,
Milwaukee G. st. Paul railroad, de-
clined to commit himself as to the fate
of the men.
The men are just as safe now as
they were yesterday at this time" he
said. THE mine is too big and has
too many ramifications to be filled
with smoke yet. Beside, the smoke
is not being carried downward by any
air currents. II the men were alive
yesterday, every man may be alive
now"
Mr.. Earling caused house to house
canvass of the miners to be made
This showed 256 miners missing, but
some of the families were not at home,
and it is believed that when a COM
plete list is obtained the number of
entombed miners will exceed 300

an early hour the main shaft, which
had been sealed since Saturday, was
opened and a determined effort began
to release the living.

Detectives of Portland
Are Accused by
Police Judge

N ORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 15.-Declar-
ing from the bench in open court
that he had irrefutable evidence
that an organized gang of criminals,
embracing everything from sneak
thieves to bunco men, was operating
in Portland under the protection of
certain persons" who, he intimated,
were members of the police detective
bureau, and announcing his intention
of laying the matter before the grand
jury for immediate investigation, Po-
lice Judge Frank S. Bennett created
sensation in the municipal court to-
day. The magistrate went so far as
to state that he would be prepared to
supply the names and addresses of the
men who are said to be responsible
for the immunity from arrest accorded
the criminals.
The utterances of Judge Bennett
were made upon the conclusion of the
case of Frank Watson, arrested for
having swindled Emory Buren,, Ne
vada miner, out of $500 in fake race
game. Owing to the alleged action OF
Watson's confederate in spiriting Bu-
ren out of the state, the city decided
to prosecute a vagrancy charge, filed
against him at the time of his arrest,
as an indictment for felony could
hardly be supported without the tes
timony of the complaining witness.
Judge Bennett declared that the
gang of thieves and confidence men
now in Portland had operated at Sc
attic during the exposition period. and

methods known to their class.
