present generation, but this isola-
tion In death seems to have been In
accordance with his last wish. To-
day he has been lifted from his OBJ
scure grave. His name is on the
lips of all, and the hearts and minds
OF q grateful nation revere his
memory, and why7 Not only be-
cause he happened to stand at the
cradle of American Independence
and helped nurse 1t to q reality, but
also because of his sterling quail
ties of character, which by means of
this monument are held up as guild
ing stars in this and future genera
lions. The virtues OF loyalty and
duty count alike in peace and war,
in a soldier and a citizen, and the
one has as many opportunities to
practice them as the other. The ma
ton which exa1ts them exalts itself.
The thousands of American citizens
of German birth or descent whose
presence makes this a national Ger
man-American Day, are not here
because Baron Steuben has
shed lustre on the German name by
the display of qualities and virtues
they admire, and among those
none has more powerfully thrilled
their hearts than his example Of I'M
swerving loyalty to America which,
In honoring Its heroes, nebly disre-
CARDS national distinctions and by
all on q common high pedes-
al of fame, lives up to the idealisR
of a common brotherhood under the
flag Of a free government. This is
one of the lessons proclaimed In
but eloquent words by the
great monument we are unwilling
and 1t is one which no son of
the republic, be he native-born or
adopted. should never forget"

Sixteen Companies and Their

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 7.-Thirty-tws

enameled ware-bathtubs, sinks and
other things of n similar character
that enter into the construction OF
nearly every house in the land.
The department Of justice some tims
ago brought a civil suit against this

that the annual output of bathtubs

to any jobber who handled any sup

BAKING ECONOMY

By the use of perfect baking powder ths
housewife can derive as much economy al
from any other article used in baking and
cooking. In selecting baking powder,
therefore, care should be exercised to pur.
chase one that retains it's original strength
and always remains the same, thus making
the food sweet and wholesome and produc-
ing sufficient leavening gas to make the
baking light.
Very little of this leavening gas is pro-
duced by the cheap baking powders, max
ing it necessary to use double the quantity
ordinarily required TO secure good results.
In using Calumet Baking Powder. you
are bound to have uniform bread, cake or
biscuits, as Calumet does not contain any
cheap, useless or adulterating ingredients
30 commonly used to increase the weight:
Further, it produces pure, wholesome food
and is baking powder of rare merit ;
therefore. is recommended by leading ply,
sicians and chemists. 1t complies with all
pure food laws, both STATE and MA
TIONAL.. The. goods are moderate in
price, and any lady purchasing Calumet
from her grocer, if not satisfied with it can
return it and have her money refunded.

Prisoners Needjework.

Canon Horsley, the new mayor OF
Southwark, was the last chaplain OF
the Clerkenwell house of detention
and he has many mementoes Of his
prison days. One is an antimacassar,
the work of once notorious woman
drunkard who had been convicted 400
times and spent the larger part of her
life in Jail. With bent pin found on
the floor of the cell the woman pulled
threads from her underclothing and
made really beautiful lace border,
four feet long and four inches deep
Next she procured from a warder a
needle and thread and piece of linen

the lace. With hairs pulled from her

occupied by the words of hymn. The

80 So the story of that ex-
plosion of November 13 and the events
which followed in heartrending variety
until Thanksgiving day is done. 1t
has passed into history, to be referred
to only for comparison with the next
big mine disaster. 1t is good thing
to forget the details of these horrors
as soon as may be.
But though much has been written
in the press about the Cherry mine
and the terrible accident, one chapter
In the story has not been completely
told, says writer in the New York
World. 1t is the story of the most
dramatic, thrilling scene which it is
possible for the mind to conceive. A
fight among a score of maddened. des-
perate miners, 500 feet down in the
bowels of the earth. in the pitch dark
ness of their prison. No doubt it was
not the only fight of the sort which
ever took place. There have been
many mine horrors, thousands and
thousands of men have been caught
under the ground, and nobody knows
what frightful things have gone on
while they have waited for death. Mad
with hunger, fear and thirst, men in
hundreds of instances must have fig
ured in scenes the telling of which, if
there could be any telling, would
shock the reader beyond expression.
But never before have men who came
back from the tomb as these did
brought an account of such scene
Among the Fortunate.
When the explosion came on that
fateful Saturday afternoon there were
400 men down in the mine. Some
miners found themselves grouped to-
gether, struggling to escape from the
flames, at the end of a long tunnel
some five hundred feet from the bot
tom of the shaft. They pushed on,
climbing over over the bodies of other
miners who had fallen overcome by
the black damp; the stronger helping
the weak, who would have succumbed
but for assistance. There was scarce
ly five feet of head room, and the
black damp hung heavy in the dark
chamber. They fell in pairs, with
means of despair, but still there were
survivors who got to the end of the
tunnel and flung themselves on the
ground against the impenetrable wall
of coal.
After while, when their eyes en-
abled them to see little in the dark,
and they found that there was a con-
siderable number of them together, a
miner named George Eddy took it on
himself to find out just who was
there and how the men were situated
Boys" said he, we're in pretty
tx, but we mustn't give up. We're at
the end of the tunnel, and between us

though, we've got to have some

mot bit of it," said Eddy. Were
going to wall ourselves up" And then
under his leadership, these men
with picks and shovels, proceeded to
perform what must have been one OF
the most unusual tasks that ever fell
to mortal's lot; this was to seal the
| door of their tomb! 1t had to be done
| of course, else the black damp would
have relied in with its death-giyine
