Aftermath at Cherry.

Graham Taylor, member Of the ILL.,
nois Mining Commission, has an article
in the December Survey on the Cherry
disaster. The article Is illustrated with
a pitifu1ly pathetic series Of photographs,
showing mothers and babies In arms
gathered around the mouth Of the black
death hole. Professor Taylor says that
"Only the women steadfast1y refused
either to abandon hope or to leave the
mouth of the pit, where with their chill
dren they pathetica1ly waited to receive
their lost ones, alive or dead. Even the
Geological Survey experts held out no
hope of finding anyone alive Neverthe-
less, they worked on, refusing to leave
until they could further explore tho
mine.

over the mouth of each shaft and rail-
way rails were placed on top Of them to
hold them down and tons Of sand were
piled over all to shut off all draft, II

GOSSIP OF SINGERS.
Caruso VIII Not Retire From Stage
Just Now.


London, January 1-(special) 1.-THE
American vaudeville agents who come to
London year after year to offer golden
bribes to British talent, are now being
closely followed by the Australian varie-
ty. There Is an immense demand In the
big Australian cities for talented artists
from the ''old country" and the few who
have made the long journey have found
It distinctly worth it.
Among several Australian vaudeville
managers who have recently visited
these shores Is Mr. Harry Richards, who
controls the greatest number of variety
theatres in the Australian commonwealth.
Mr.. Richards has made contracts with
six OF seven music hall stars but he
failed In his principal mission, which was
to capture Sisnor Caruso.
Mr.. Richards offered the great tenor
the sum of s100,0000 for 20 concerts, but
the singer was compelled to refuse it.
The story that Caruso intends to marry
a young Italian girl and retire to live the
life of a contry squire is laughed at here.
He L. bound by several contracts, both
IN Europe and America, to appear for at
least five years ahead, and no doubt he
will, like other famous singers, occupy
at ieAst hhotner year dieoi thal Al pio-
ding farewell to his countless admirers.
The money that can be earned today
in Australia by popular singers can be
estimated by the fact that Mr.. Kennerley
Rumford and his wife, Madame Clara
Butt, netted over $4,000 during their
concert tour in the Antipodes.
Mr.. Rumford's action the other Gay In
smacking the face of the musical critic
of the Times for writing an article alleged
to be malicious concerning Mime. Butt.
has startled the musical world, as Mr..
Rumford is one Of the gentlest and most
polite of singers.

GOMPERS ISSUES
CALL FOR FUNDS

Washington, January 1.--Officers of the
American Federation of Labor tonight is
sued q call on its $4,000 members to
subscribe to fund with which to wage
a fight on the sssteel trust" The call ar
raigns the corporation as inimicable both
to labor and the country, and as vio-
lator of the laws. The sum of $154,000 Is
to be raised at once.
This action was taken as the result of
a conference held In Pittsburg December
13 and IA between the Amalgamated asso-
citation of iron and steel workers., the tin
plate workers protective association and
the longshoremens and seamens union
Samuel Gompers. president Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, was present at
the meeting.

treasury. All subscriptions are to be sent
to John Williams, who has opened head
quarters in the house building In Pitts
burg.
In his statement, Mr.. Gompers assailed
the so-called ''steeI trust for its agrees
sions on labor and charges It with con-
spring against production. preventing an
unmanipulated market and striving for
the elimination of a free press. He also
charges that the corporation pays divi-
dends on many millions Of watered stock
and that its financial methods are corrupt
and indefensible.
But, President Gompers continues, 1.-The
browning criminaltiy" of the trust is Its
attitude toward labor. He especially ar
raigns the so-called profit sharing plan
by which the company gives its employees
an opportunity to obtain an interest In
the vest business.
This plan, Mr.. Gompers contends, is q
transparent. deceit through which

Liverpool, January 1.-(Special.) 1.-THE

About forty years ago there were in

the municipality.
On the site of the greater portion of
the houses which the municipality has
swept away and on the other sites ac-
