MONTROSE. Colo. Jan. 1s.-Three
men were suffocated by powder smoke
and nitro fumes in the Gunnison tun-
mel today and so others barely escaped
with their lives. Air currents of the
tunnel were reversed by the concussion
of heavy blasts, and the smoke and
gases were blown back upon the miners
before they could reach the portal

The men were working two miles
from the river portal and all pre-

time. The air currents were from the
north to south and the miners retired
200 feet to the north of the blast when
it was fired. The air currents reversed
Immediately and the three men were
overcome before they could grope their
way to the outer air. A number of

in vain to resuscitate Haynes, Patten

a straight from the shoulder business
like manner, the hx we are in. Many
carloads of Pianos destined for the
Holiday business were delayed on ac-
count of railroad strikes. and to reduce
this terrific surplus stock of Pianos to
a normal condition and at the same
time test the value of different adver-
tising mediums, we offered the most
unprecedented opportunities to Piano
buyers-and the results have been as
founding.
A tremendous amount of business
was done last week and scores of
pianoless homes were made happy and,
although profit making has been out of
the question. we can congratulate our
selves upon having greatly reduced our
large surplus stock

which Pianos have been going during

PRINCE PERSUADED TO
GIVE UP AVIATION
Heeds Wife's Warming and
AbandonS Dangerous Sport

The journals of Berlin relate a
pretty story of the home life of the
crown prince. The crown prince, as
is known. has love for aviation and
has made several ascents. The crown
princess recently called his attention
to an appeal in a newspaper much read
at court, says the London Globe. The
crown prince was advised by his loyal
subjects not to make such ascents, the
risk being too great for the future
German emperor. The crown prince
reflected for a moment. and then he
promised the princess that he would
make no more ascents. Some time
later he learned that the princess in
spired the appeal.

TALLEYRAND'S WIFE
WAS IGNORANT WOMAN
Book Tells Funny Story of the
Princess

There has just been published in
Paris little book entitled 'TEsprit de
Talleyrand'' This excellent courtier
but very Indifferent bishop, as De Quin-
cey terms him. was married-and per-
baps as an example of retributive JUS
tice-to a very ignorant woman. and of
her an excellent story is told, says the
London Globe.
One day when rising from lunch
prince de Talleyrand said to his wife,
''You will have at your side at dinner
tonight very remarkable man: he has
written his travels For heavens sake
do talk to him sensibIy AS YOU pass
through the library ask for the book
and glance it through. and bring the
conversation to this subject. Do not

said the librarian, smiling, and he

Talleyrand read the book, was en-
chanted with the story, and more so
with the thought that she was to dine
with the author At night she found
herself next to M. Demon at table. She
was not long in turning the conversa-
tion into the line directed by the
prince, so she said TO her neighbor.
your travels have interested me deem
ly, monsieur. What joy you must have
experienced in your lonely island when
you found Friday.

ORPHFUM PRESENTS
EXCELLENT VARIETY
Eight Geisha Girls Have Act
Full of Novelty and
Head Bill
American Dancers Contrast
With Japanese Charmers;
Other Acts Clever

Novelty and surprise mingle nicely in
this weeks program at the Orpheum.
There is a great deal of the former,
much of the latter and great variety
throughout. It is in this respect a
splendid sample of vaudeville.
For novelty the act provided by the
Eight Geisha girls must have first hon
ors. It is a pretty act, set well and as
full of the suggestion of the land of the
rising sun as a cup of real Japan tea.
The eight charmers from the mikado' s
land supply dancing number, much in
strumental music; most OF which is
pure Nipponese, and some song as
fragile as wisteria. Their dancing
would not meet our notions of the
dance. but consists Of posturing mainly
and graceful steps. Their hands are as
graceful as swaying reeds, and their
manipulation of their fans would drive
modern occidental coquette to distrac-
ton. Moreover they are pretty in their
quaint Japanese way, and as tiny and
attractive as so many Madame Butter
flies. Their act was a big success.
Contrasting with these girls from
Japan are the Dougherty sisters in a
performance of American dancing, and
chatter and fun. The larger of the
pair made a hit with her "waistless,
hipless" costume and her song to
match Jean Clermonts "burlesque
circus started in as if it was to be all
burleSque, but ended with an interest
ing animal act. One fthe dogs of the
troupe managed to play THE Last
Rose of Summer on a Xylophone with
almost human regard for the eXigences
Of time and tune. You could easily
recognize it, and imagine that Direc-
tor Rosner had less difficulty in keep
ing his players together in the accom-
paniment than he did in the weird
music of the Japanese instruments and
song.
The regular vaudeville turn, how
ever, was brought on by Brown, Harris
and Brown, who in melange of moth
ing contrived to keep me laughing most
of the time, and that's going some.
It is hard to pick first choice among
the ''holdover' acts. The agile Willie
Painter and his company comprise the
best athletic exhibition that the Or
pheum has staged in long time, and
the injection of comedy is-unlike most
acrobatic comedy-deft. Arturo Ber-
nardis "protean" act is or would be,
that he exposes the tricks of his trade,
and through transparent drops shows
how he gets in and out of his costumes
so quickly. He assumes all of the
eight characters in a playlet.
