Thy everlasting mountains hold
Their heads aloft with crown of snow, |
As Fremont saw them long ago.
Through vistas of the far-off years
] see the trains of pioneers;
Their schooners headed for Pixies Peak
The shining grains of gold they seek.
The decades pass; fair cities rise
Where tepees' smoke curled to the |
skies;
Iron horses quiver O'er rails
Where bison thundered down their
trails
Thy beetling crags and canOns grand, |
BY ozone-laden breezes famed;
The metals hidden in the rocks;
The valleys ranged by herds and 1ocks. |
j
Made fertile by the snow and rain
These make thy name known far
abroad,
o Colorado, blessed by God!

ENTOMBS 1877 men
Hope Has Practically Been Aban-
doned of Rescuins Any Of the Vic
Tins In English Mine.

Manchester, England.-Hope has
practically been abandoned of res
cuing the 1877 miners who were en-
tombed by an explosion in the Well
ington coal mine at White Haven. 1t
is believed that all are dead, as fire
is furiously raging in the mine work
ings which extend under the sea for
five miles. Thus any chance of reach
ing the surface through an escape
shaft is cut off. Four men were res
cued before the fire broke out. The
colliery is owned by the Earl of Ions
dale. The spot where the men are
imprisoned is well out under the
ocean and about three miles from the
shaft exit. A determined attempt was
made by the rescuing parties to
reach them. When but mile from
the goal the rescuing party was
driven back by black damp.

pared by Mr.. Lawler and said that he
had had an opportunity on coming from
New York to read the answers of Mr..
Ballinger and others. then said to him
that / had made up my mind as to my
conclusions and had drafted part of my
opinion, but that I wished him to ex-
anime the full record and bring me his
conclusions before stated mine. He
took the whole record away.
During the day examined the draft
opinion OF Mr.. Lawler, but its 30 pages
did not state the case IN the way m
which l wished It stated. 1t contained
references to the evidence which were
useful. but its criticism of Mr.. Pinchot

graphs from It containing merely gem
eral statements
How Conclusions Were Based.
The attorney general returned in the
evening with notes of the examination
which he had made and reported to me
the conclusions which he had reached
which were in substantial accord with
my own. We then discussed the matter
at some length, particularly some points
of law which were involved and took up
the opinion which I had finished and
made a number of alterations; and as the
result of that discussion / determined
the final form which I employed and
signed the same on Monday. September
13.
The conclusions which I reached were
based upon my reading of the record and
were fortified by the oral analysis of the
evidence and the conclusions which the
attorney general gave me. using the
notes which he had made during his
reading of the record. was very sorry
not to be able to embody this analysis
in my opinion, but time did not permit.
I therefore directed him to embody in a
written statement such analysis and con-
clusions as he had given me, file 1t with
the record and date it prior to the date
of my opinion, so as to show that my de-
cision was fortified by his summary OF
the evidence and his conclusions there
from. Sincerely yours,
WILLIAM II. TAFT.

DRIVING WITH ROCKEFELLER
Pleasant Recreation Provided for
People of Tarrytown by Their Fa-
nous Fellow ToWnsman.

Tarrytown, N. Y.-To take drive
with John d. Rockefeller has become
a regular recreation this spring for
a great many of the friends and
neighbors of that famous resident of
Tarrytown, and he has increased
thereby his popularity among the peo-
pie of the little city. Not a pleasant
day goes by without the oil king in
viting some of them, men. women
and children, to ride with him in au-
tomobile or carriage, and it is safe to
say that the invitations are seldom
declined, for his vehicles are the best
to be had, and the drives around Tar.
rytown are beautiful.
Mr.. Rockefeller, before starting for
a ride, always dons a paper vest, de-
claring it to be great protection
against colds, and he insists that his
guests do the same. After the ride
he refuses to take back the garment
and consequently in nearly every
home in Tarrytown may be found 6
paper vest preserved as souvenir OF
delightful ride with the multi-mil
| Iionaire.

EIGHT STUDENTS DROWN
SIX GIRLS AND TWO BOYS DIE
IN OLD MILL POND.
Rocking the Boat to Brighten the
Fairer Sex Is Said to Have
Caused the Accident.

Wilkesbarre, Pa.-Rocking the boat
to frighten the girls caused the
drowning of six girls and two
boys out Of party of IL on an old
mill dam at Huntington Mills, coun-
try village 10 miles from here. The
four who escaped are boys and they
got to the shore exhausted after
vain effort to save the girls. All Of
the party were members of the grad
uating or the junior classes of the
high school at Huntington Mills, and
were out for frolic during the lunch
hour. They were all between the
ages of 16 and 1S.
AS at most country high schools,
the pupils attending live for miles
from it, and instead of going home
for dinner carry their luncheon. The
IL had finished their luncheon and
started for a walk. pairing off, each
of the six boys with a girl. AS they
constituted the older set, none of the
other pupils went with them. They
were laughing and chatting merrily
as they went up the road. Some lit
tie distance from the school and not
from view by fringe of trees is the
mill pond, favorite resort for fish
ing and boating. The merry party
went to the pond and embarked in
two boats. 1t was then about one
o'clock in the afternoon. No one saw
what followed except those in the ILL
fated boats. The story told by the
four survivors is somewhat con-
| fused.
a couple of the boys and girls tried
to change their seats. Some one or
| two stood up, the boat, overcrowded,
| dipping some water. Some of the
girls becoming frightened at this,
| jumped up and the next moment the
boat upset and all were thrown into
the water. They arose to the surface
after the first plunge shrieking and
screaming. Both of the drowned boys
were in the first boat and the girls
seized them in their endeavors to
save their lives. The boat filled and
sank quickly. Immediately following
the upsetting of the first boat the six
in the second were intensely excited
in their efforts to rescue those in the
water and the second boat was also
capsized.
People rushed to the pond and
grappled for the bodies. They were
recovered one by one. the two boys
each clasped tightly in a death en-
brace by a girl, the other girls tight
in each others arms.

Kerby declared that he had already
received several offers of positions
from private individuals. The letter
of dismissal follows:

are unworthy to remain in it. Divulg-
ing information obtained by you in
the confidential relations of stenog-
rapher to the secretary of the inte-

ton to those whom you are bound to
know are wrongfully seeking to bring
reproach upon the administration
and to injure me; and in deliberately

you show that you are unworthy and
unfaithful. The fact that your treach
cry is futile cannot mitigate the char
acter of your offense. For the good

Rear Admiral Bacon of the British
navy advocates the construction of
larger battleships because in his
opinion. with proper subdivision of the
hull, they are not as likely to be sunk
as result of torpedo attack as the
smaller ship. There is something In
this, as the weight of armament car
ried by a large ship is not proper
fionately as large as that on the
smaller ship. But 1t must not be over
looked that the torpedo is becoming
more powerful under the develop of
inventors, and the damage they in
fict may be beyond the ability of even
the best of compartmented hulls to

The deaths from bubonic plague of
two young women, daughters of the
postmaster at Honkua, Hawaii, offer
convincing evidence that the germs
of the plague linger on the islands,
where the sanitary officials should toll
increasingly in order to suppress them.
The same danger undoubtedly exists
on the southern Pacific slope, where
the rats should be made objects of un-
relenting warfare.
