HEALTH BUREAU
 STRONGLY URGED
Bill Soon to Be Introduced Is Backed by Associations

ington.-Congress is to be asked before long to pass a bill ere ating what shall be called a National Bureau of Public Health. It is urged that great associations and thousands of individual physicians are anxious the government shall take cogniZance of the necessity for a more adequate system of guarding the health of the American people. Time and again suggestion has been made that there should be department of health with a chief who would have place ir che presidents cabinet. It is not likely that congress for years to come, at any rate, will sanction the creation of such department of government, but it is likely that a health bureau of some kind before long will be estab- lished
 1t must not be taken for granted that Uncle Sam does not do anything to look after the health of his nephews and nieces. The Marine hospital serv- ice is efficient, and it is aided in it's work by the medical corps of the army and navy The American Health league is petitioning congress to es- tablish National bureau of health, and it is asking the people to back up its request

oA everyday life" Then the American Health league says that it is calling attention to drugs as well as diseases. Declaration is made that numerous forms Of drug habits are becoming more prevalent everywhere in the United States than people realize. The dangers of cocaine, morphine and opi um are pointed out, and it is said that vigorous efforts which are being made to control and minimize their sale ought to have the sanction, the back ing and the aid of a government bu- reau.
 While physicians are trying to get government recognition of the need of federal safeguards for the health of the nation, sociologists are trying to get Uncle Sam to establish what for lack of a better name they call Laboratory of Criminology. The subcommittee of the committee on jul dietary has just reported favorably a bill which appropriated sum of money for the establishment of such a laboratory or bureau. It is not the intention of the lawmakers, if they mass a bill of this kind, to make the bureau large affair What the friends of the measure want is to have appointed three or four special ists in criminology who will make a deep study of the causes of crime with a view of finding out if it is not possible in some way to bring to bear the preventive measures which are so much better than cure measures.
 Crime Disease.
 Some people go so far as to say that crime in many of it's forms is dis ease. A great many people admit that crime is frequently committed by per sons who are the victims of circum- stances and who are not impelled to crime by what may be called real criminal motives If congress shall establish a bureau of criminology, the experts will study living conditions of the people. the effect of poverty and liuuor drinking on crime, and many other subjects which may shed light upon the main question. The same argument that is used by physicians for the establishment of such bureau as they want is used by the friends of the other project. They say that if Uncle Sam is willing to spend millions every year through the agricultural department to check the ravages of in sect pests, that he ought to be willing to spend a few thousands to check the rayages of crime. In recent years congress has paid more attention to what may be called sociological mat ters than it ever did before. The study of sociological subjects has

AGREEMENT WITH GERMANY.

Commercial Wa Averted and Door
Opened for Other Settlements.
By the tariff agreement with Ger,
man. announced the other day the
United States has not only avoided a
commercial war with the empire, but
has paved the way for a settlement of
the differences existing with France
and Canada.
1t seems certain now, that the bust.
ness interests of the United States may
look forward to a period of peace in
the commercial relations Of the coun,
try. To obtain this result, Secretary
Knox and his advisers in the State
Department, as well as the tariff
board, were compelled to abandon
their demands for concessions on
American live cattle and meat prod
ucts and for the modification of the
German customs rules governing draw
back Of duty allowed on -four when
exported from Germany.
A promise was obtained, however,
that the German government would
discuss these matters automatically
with the United States. AS German
goods now will enjoy the benefit of
minimum rates Of duty, the French
government must seek like treatment
for It's products, many of which com
pete with those of Germany. Other
wise the market here will be lost to
them.
If an arrangement be made with
France as expected American goods
will enter French territory upon pre-
cisely the same grounds as those OF
other foreign countries. This will
mean that the Franco-Canadian reci-
procity treaty will be of small benefit
to Canada, and the latter probably
will decide, in view Of the circum-
stances, to accord to American i'm.
ports treatment equivalent to that Of
tered to those of France.

Underground Horror Occurs in PRS

More than 100 men were killed by q
of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Compa'

afternoon.
The bodies of seventy-nine victims
were found piled in a mass at the foot
of the air shaft shortly after midnight.
When the explosion occurred the men
evidently made a rush to escape
through the air shaft and were suffo-
Gated as they battled with each other
for freedom.
1t is shown by the timekeeper's rec
ords hat there were 149 men in the
mine at the time of the explosion Inc
main shaft of the mine is completely
wrecked. Only n man has been
found alive. He is badly injured M
has not been identified. Three men
were killed at the mouth of the mine
slope by the force of the explosion.
Both fans with which the mine is
equipped were shattered and 1t was
impossible to enter the mine until
they were repaired. AS soon as the
fans were repaired, General Superin-
tendent J.. F. Thompson and a rescue
party entered by the main air shafts,
but were unable to reach the main
shaft, which is completely blocked.
A party equipped with oxygen he'll

ings were reached through the air
shaft, and were searched for more
bodies.
Miners were rushed to Primero from
Trinidad, Segundo, Starkville, Sopris
and Cokeville, and labored frantically
to clear the main shaft, relieving each
other every few minutes.
1t is impossible to determine how
far the main shaft has caved, and it
may be days before the shaft Is cleared
and the total death list known. Most
Of the victims are Slavs and Hungari.

the missing.
The camp is a scene Of indescribable
horror tonight. Every able-bodied man
is taking his turn with pick and shovel
to clear the shaft. The ONE and
children, kept back by ropes, gathered
about the shaft, weeping and calling
wildly for their husbands and fathers.
Members of the first rescue party

1t was now close upon the hour, ant
Isabella was wondering how she coule

third at such Il meeting; moreover
Maurice instinctively disliked this sui.
len creature, and was never quite easy
in her presence.
Finally, ISABELLA decided to slir
round back of the house and meet
Maurice at the gate. She put on a
straw hat. and ran lightly away to see
her lover. She passed out by a sid
door, danced like a fairy across the
intervening space of lawn, and slipped
laughingly into the narrow path which
wound through the wood to the ave-
nue. near the gates.
Just as she emerged into the open,
she heard a sharp click, and saw
Maurice approaching. He was dress
ed in his lannels, and looked particu-
larly handsome, she thought; the more
so when she beheld his face lighting
up at her unexpected appearance. The
magnetism of love drew them irresisti-
bly, together.
My own dear love- he murmured,
softly. How good of you to meet
mel"
Il came down here to escape Dido
explained Isabella, slipping her hand
within his. You don't like her to be
with us!"
Il don't like her in any case, my dar-
ling. She is like a black shadow OF
evil always at your heels. I must get
your mother to forbid her trespassing
upon our meetings."
MY dear Maurice. how can you pos
sibly do that, when you refuse to tel
my mother of our engagement"
"Oh, / had a reason for keeping our
engagement secret, but it is no longer
necessary, and l am going straight tc
ask your mother to give me this dear
hand in marriage. If she consents, we
will soon get rid of Dido"
But my mother may not consent
said Isabella, a trifle ~nervously.
why not? I have a profession and
a small property. We love one anoth-

she has for refusal. i wish to tell you1

dark Jezebel. She is dangerous"
Il know she is; but she hates you,'

Dunrobin castle, in Scotland, was
the scene of a discovery a few years
ago of a document relating to Mary
Queen of Scots, which, had it seen
the light when poor Mary Stuart was
about to commit the GROWING act OF
folly in marrying Boutwell,, would
have changed the whole Intercourse

Of Boutwell,. When the latter wanted
to spouse his sovereign he declared
his union with Lady Jane Gordon null

would have made her marriage valid

CLAIM FOR THE CLASSICS,

Tenchers See Their Efficacy As
Preparation for Leaders of Men.
Views of leading headmasters print
ed in the Daily Mail in the last few
days are sufficiently unanimous to sug-
gest that a movement which might al
most be termed a classical renais-
sance" now accompanies the strong
tendency in favor of technical, COM
mercial and modern systems Of educa-
ton.
Oscar Browning says, according to
the London Daily'Mail: II am a firm
believer in a classical education. What
ever may be urged against it, no rival
system has yet been invented which
can surpass it. Modern languages and
history are admirable studies, but a
we%ll-trained classic is better prepared
for dealing with them than any one
else. I am well acquainted with
French, German and Italian, but l owe
my proficiency in these languages to
my classical training. Sir Henry
Maine, n of the greatest publicists
of our age, was a tirst-rate classical
scholar; so is Goodwin Smith.
1.-THE Greek language is the most
perfect expression of the subtlest
thought and emotion of the most gift
ed nation of whom we have any knowl-
edge. The study, even the temporary
and superficial study, of it leaves an
indelible impression. It is the deep
breathing of the mind. He who
knows most of Greek. will know most
of everything.
THE study of Cicero, Livy and Taci-
tus at Elton has had a profound effect
on English history. They inculcate
the dignity and Importance of human
affairs, the recognition of which is the
first qualification for a leader of men.
These studies produced the Ciceronian
statesmen of the eighteenth century.
