RESCUE WORK DELAYED.
Cavings Of Earth Destroy Hope Of
Saving Miners.

CHERRY, H., Nov. 24.-Fire in the
second gallery of the St. Paul mine
resulted today 10 heavy cavings of
earth, blocking rescue work to the
east. In this section will be the best
chance of finding survive S. 1t is
said that the passage is SO badly
blocked that it will be impossible for
many days to make an entrance.
Meanwhile many may starve. The
news spread gloom throughout the
village, relieved only by the narrow
prospects of exploring the 5O0-foot,
o. bottom shaft.
II is said the blockade in the entry
to the east is near the main shaft. AS
one caving is followed by another en-
dangering the lives of the workers,
attempts to remove the debris were
halted and efforts begun to hew new
passage through solid earth, around
the fire and piles of earth.
After experiencing all the terrors of
his long imprisonment and the Joy of
being brought to the surface alive,
David Hollofchelt, one of the 20 sur
vivors rescued Saturday, died today.
Death was due to general exhaustion.
Gruesome tokens Of the futile fight
for life made by the men taken out
dead were found beside the bodies.
On the walls of the shaft had been
fashioned rude pinwheels, shaped in
the fashion of ventilating fans, and
intended to bring at least some cur
rent of air. These the men turned by
hand, standing close to get any oxy-
gen that might be collected by the I'M
provised fans. Close to the fans the
largest groups of dead were found.
Rescuers who carried up 23 bodies
today said there was evidence at the
men had walled themselves in for sew
eral days, but had emerged to seek
food and water, and had met death in
the black damp.

ful to Mr.. Max Baumeister-would there
were more Baumeisters to cry aloud on
the mountain tops. His trumpet has no
uncertain sound. 1t does not suggest the
upsetting of the mplasses jar. nor the
charming exudation of altar Of roses, nor
the stolid statements of a tobacconist's
wood-graven Indian! 1t is a rebuke and a
well mertted one. There is altogether too
much OF this gratuitous work going on in
public affairs. Altogether too much. But,
of course. 1t is the only way in which
some musical persons and musical events
will be able to secure a hearing.
1t has often occurred to the writer that
the churches are TO blame somewhat In this
matter. They announce great musical SER
vices and the people come, and when the
offertory plate is passed, hundreds will look
as though it were a most surprising pro-
cedure; as though to say: Gar you not
see? l am here-I? 1t has cost me already
10 cents for myself and friend for car fare,
and 1t will cost me yet another 10 cents

do, because the cars are always pwd

and ~patronize your church and it's music,
and now you have the audacity to put a

monstrous ingrattude. Go away naughty

will be far-seeing enough to place an usher

In his hand, and a sign on the wall beside

there must be no restriction to religious
services" and 1T has never been done"
and ut would offend the poor people who
cannot afford it, and so on.
Competent ushers whose words are
reliable have often told the writer that
these poor" people usually wear $50 suits,
up-to-date haberdashery, and their
escorted are not in rags.
But some day 1t will be remembered that
II was once said. The laborer is worthy
of his hire" and render unto Caesar the
things that are Caesars and unto God the
things that are Gods"
When a church let's a congregation in to
hear a beautiful musical service without
collecting the small contribution to the
cause, at the door, they are openly aiding
and abetting disobedience TO the great COM
mand and they are refusing to enforce the
law that enc should render unto God the
things that are Gods"
Perhaps this Is a new view. But the
writer is hopelessly heterodox along some
lines, and hopelessly orthodox on some
others.
So much for both those who give, and
those who receive. for nothing.

" OF the matter last week, but Il
IN is not too late TO call attention
-l to the fact that one effect Of
kSN3W the second shuber declaration
49, Of independence was the bring
ing about of a working understanding be-
tween Messrs. Klaw & Erlanger on the one
side and Messrs. Belasco and Ftske on the
other. Under this agreement, which is
simply verbal. the parties will play attrac-
lions in each others theaters whenever ut
is mutually agreeable" This means hat
for the first time In many years the
syndicate" houses will be open to Mrs.
Fiske after this season. and that for the
first time in at least six years the Belasco
stars may twinkle over boards that have
hitherto been sacred to such as came under
the guiding hands Of TX. & E." Messrs.
shubert having already declared for the
open door policy, 1t is quite likely that
business methods are finally to prevail In
the world Of the stage. and that managers
will work in harmony. At all events, it
opens the Boyd theater in Omaha and the
Brandeis. when it is ready, to the presence
OF a number OF very desirable actors who
have been prevented from appearing in the
first-class houses Of the west for a long
time. II the managers can only keep their
understanding in working order, the public
will profit to some extent at least. And
one thought offers some support TO the
hope that the agreement will be kept: II
Is just barely possible that alleged "inde-
pendence" is no longer potent as an ad-
vertising factor. Whatever the reason,
any change that will operate to bring to
the people Of the west the great players
of the American stage during the time OF
year that is generally designated as 'the
season." and not pack them in at either the
front or the back end of that time, will be
welcome.

1t is obvious that capacity will rule
throughout the four performances arranged
for. The story of the play is so absolutely
different from what theater-goers have
ever seen that despite the art
of Mrs. Fiske, they will be drawn to sec
it through curiosity to witness the play
that has been treated so extensively by
the magazines of the whole country.

Burwood Stock company will have to face
the week that Mrs. Fiske and The Blue

boards at the Burwood. Plattsmouth,
Fairbury. York, Columbus, Norfolk and
Fremont will have the opportunity in the
order named of seeing THE Girl from Out

to play at the Burwood all next week.

comedy by Clyde Fitch which has proven

tation for the first time in this city at

pany to be seen here is a Shubert organiza-
tion and II has appeared in all the large

1t not only a clean and wholesome comedy,
