London. July Especial. THE Ouch

appointed Mistress of the Robes. is the
eldest daughter of Lord Lansdowne anc
niece of the Duchess of Buccleuch, whom
she succeeds in office.
The Mistress of the Robes is the only
lady of the queens household who goes
out OF office on any change of ministry,
In earlier days the theory was that all
the queens ladies held political signih-
canoe, for the Duchess of Buccleuch had
held it except for two short intervals
from 1885.
The duties of the Mistress of the Robes
are confined to state OCCASIONS. She ac-
companies the queen to any state cere-
mony and goes behind her in any process
sion. The post Is always held by a Ouch
ess, who is technically mother of the
queens maids She no longer acts. OF

Figures compiled by Edward w.
Packer, statistician in the Geological
Survey, show coal mine fatalities in
the United States in 1909 were fewer
than in 1908, Notwithstanding an in
crease of approximately 10 per cent
In the quantity of coal mined. The
total number of deaths from coal mine
accidents in 1909 were 2412 against
2450 In the preceding year.
In the number of non-fatal accidents
the record of 1909 does not compare so
favorably with previous years The
number of men injured last year was
1879. an increase of more than 1900 over
1908, and 1908 showed an increase In
non-fatal accidents Of more than 400
over 1907. A part of this increase is
explained by more complete informal Ion

1907 statistics were obtained from ONLY

reports were received from twenty-six

One Trip Nearly Paid for Schooner.

Dealers at T wharf were given a
surprise when Capt. Horace Hillman
Of the 14-ton schooner Eliza Benner
of Edgartown offered 10000 pounds of
fish to buyers at the exchange. No
one believed that schooner the size
of the Benner would attempt rounding
Cape Cod at this season so deeply
loaded. But the captain had recently
purchased the vessel and thought If
he could reach Boston at a time of
high prices he might be able to nearly
pay her purchase price.
With five young men belonging on
Martha's Vineyard Capt. Hillman took
the schooner out on the ocean side Of
Nantucket and In short time filed
the craft to the matches. The venture
proved so successful that the crew
earned about $50 each and the Ben
ner almost paid for herself. Boston
