Actual Mine Explosions.

In the afternoon the operators, engi-
neers and superintendent will witness an
actual mine explosion in the experimental
mine of the bureau at Bruceton. Pa,
twelve miles from Pittsburgh. Here the
dangers of coal dust and black powder,
an explosive the bureau strongly advises
against, will be tested, the bureaus ex-
perts carrying out all the bad practices
! which they believe lead to mine explo-
siOns.
| On the morning OF October 81 the spec
tacular explosion will take place before
the President. The rest Of the morning
will be given over to friendly competition
between expert rescue teams from the
principal coal mines of the country and
parade of miners which will pass, in re-
view before the President.
The tests and demonstrations are the
result of many years of experiment by
the governments corps Of experts, and II
is believed will effect great saving OF
life throughout the United States. The
governments statistics show that thirty
thousand miners. were killed within the
| past ten years: that seventy-flve thou
sand were injured and that mine explo-
sions and accidents have thrown over
| eleven thousand widows and thirty thou
sand fatherless children upon charity. Ii
! Is TO reduce these casualties that the gov
ernment and the mine workers and own
ers are cooperating
The parade of miners, after being re-
| viewed by the President, will march to a
special pier. where they will witness the
marine parade in honor OF the centenary
| of the beginning Of steam navigation on
| the Ohio river. The miners demonstra-
| ton will conclude at noon and the re-
mainder of the day will be taken up with
| the river centennial.

Many Guard officials seem TO think that
the low figure Of merit of the Guard is
due primarily to non-attendance at target
range work. and this view hardiy adinlts

! lack of preliminary instruction before the

good new things the Guard is betting

a scientific and carefully planned winter
of instruction in teaching the Guard how

himself to attain a reasonable degree OF

able to instruct the enlisted men of

Unless Identified and Claimed
Body of Negro Suicide will
Be Buried.

No one has called at the morgue during
the rast week to inquire regarding the
identity of the coiored man who COM
mitted suicide recently by jumping over
board near the food gates. Curiosity
usually prompts number of persons to
call at the morgue in such cases, espe-
cially when death results from violence.
but the latest case has proved an excep-
ton TO the rule.
The clothes OF the dead man were
fairly good said the superintendent of
the morgue last night, although not a
cent of money nor a scrap of writing
was found in the pockets"

Some Bodies Never Cremated.
Bodies of unidentified persons are

money enough to defray the funeral ex-
penses the bodies are given decent burials
In one of the local cemeteries. 1t does
