ToiIing Without Food.

For more than sc hours every sur
viving miner in this region had toiled
with no thought of food, sleep or pay
to rmove the debris and force fresh
air into the innnermost recesses of the
mine.
They practically had penetrated to
the main entry head, nearly three
miles in. They expect to be ready soon
to work the cross entries, in which the
great mass of bodies were caught by
the force of the blast.
Black damp developed and stopped
progress for a time, but soon the ST.
lent force pushed dauntlessly on, some
of them till they were carried out over
come by the noxious gases.
Thousands of the morbidly curious
1ocked into Briceville and crowded
about the main entry of the mine.
They saw nothing but the pitiable
grief of the stricken families.
Every Family Affected.
There is hardly a family in the en-
tire Coal Creek Valley that has not
felt the touch of death. The problem
of caring for widows and orphans will
be a grave one, requiring immediate
solution. Certainly Briceville will be
unable to care for her living with most
of her wage earners numbered among
the dead.
Food is scarce, but plentiful supplies
are promised from Knoxville. So far
there has been little physical suffer
ing among families Of those who lost
their lives.
1t has been impossible to get any
authentic figures on the exact number
of men in the mine when the eXplo-
sion occurred. Mine officers have Civ
en- out no statement and it has been
impossible to get any check on the
men who went to the work of rescu.
ing.
Work of Rescue Slow.
Work of rescue moved slowly partly
because most of the entombed miners
are believed to be two miles from the
opening and because of deadly black
damp. The latter caused all work to
be stopped for a time, but it was re-
sumed later.
Electrical devices for moving cars
In the workings were shattered by the
explosion and debris cleared away in
the tunnels is being hauled by mule
cars to the surface. Mine experts said
it would be days before each lateral
had been penetrated, and stated when
all bodies would be found was but
guesswork. 1t is in the laterals that
the most bodies are expected to be
found.
At least 10000 persons have visited
this hamlet and willing workers were
many. George P. Chanler, president
of the Tennessee Coal Co., is in charge
Of the relief work. He divided the
men into gangs of so and sent each
shift into tn workings for hours. Even
when the air in the mine was at its
best they could not work long in there

TRIED RECIPES.
Whole Wheat Bread.

Whole wheat bread and entire wheat
-four are the same. although there are
different grades and mixtures of this
flour. That is best which takes the
least -four to the amount of moisture
70 make a loaf of bread. Scald one
cupful of milk, add one teaspoonful of
butter, one teaspoonful of salt, one
tablespoonful Of sugar and one cupful
of water. When lukewarm add one
half of a compressed yeast cake dis
solved i'm one half cupful of lukewarm
water and sufficient whole wheat flour
10 make a thin batter. This should be
done in the morning, as the bread
rises quickly Beat the batter until
smooth and let rise until very light.
when light add whole wheat flour
gradually, beating steadily, until as
much -four has been added as you can
beat or stir in. The dough should be
too soft to knead, but the beating must
be well done in order to make the
bread fine grained. If the dough is too
thin. the bread will be too soft and
moist. and If too much flour is added
il will be hard and dry. Turn into
creased bread tins. let rise until light
prick the surface of the loaves, and
bake for one hour in a moderate oven

HONOR MEMORY
OF ABE LINCOLN
Continued from Page /

his course and position. so on ami
versaries such as these we do well to
determine our course by ascertaining
whence we came and whittier we are
bound
What have been the attachments Of
the past century in physical and
material advancements? In political
advancements and in intellectual and
moral welfare? 1t is only by retro
spect and comparison that we may
measure and determine our advance
ment.
February IL, 1909 marked the clos
ing month of the second administra-
ton of Thomas Jefferson, the great
apostle of theoretical democracy The
doctrine of States Rights was at it's
zenith; federal authority was at it's
lowest ebb. The flag called forth lit
tie respect at home and only contempt
and derision on the high seas. Even
the New England states were serious
iy discussing secession, while in the
old world Napoleon held continental
Europe in the hollow of his hand and
the cause of human liberty seemed al
most in the eclipse. In the United
States, manhood suffrage did not ex-
list. Everywhere the right to vote was
limited by property and the qualif-
cations at that time, the now dicredit
ed caucas and convention system of
making party nominations had not yet
been devised. Local, state and nation
al politics were dominated by a self
constituted, f-perpetuated oligarchy.
Mark the change wrought in the
course of a century. Universal man
hood suffrage. a secret ballot and the
direct nomination of party candidates.
The year of Lincolns birth saw dem
ocracy only an irridescent dream. The
year 1911 sees democracy all but a rea-
llzed fact. The year 1909 saw the OK
cart, the stage coach, the river fiat
boat and the sailing vessel; 1911 sees
the limited express, the ocean grey
hound. the electric light, the telephone
and the wireless telegraph.
AT the time of Lincoln's birth there
was no free school system in the
world. Now we have the free kinder
garten, the elementary and grammar
schools. free and compulsory. the high
and manual training schools free. with
the professional and technical schools
all but free. Then education and the
opportunity for an education was the
heritage of the favored few; now the
fullest opportunity for a liberal and
technical education is the birthright of
all. America in very truth, has be-
come but another name for opportun-
ity.
Let us then briefly review the part
Abraham Lincoln took in bringing
about this wonderful transformation.
Let us also hastily review the duties
devolving upon us. the heirs of all
ages in the foremost files of time
What can we do to further advance
and more fully realize the complete
brotherhood OF man."
Mr. Galbraith then reviewed the
great work OF the immortal Lincoln i'm
few choice words.

The finding OF three large pine cases
containing mechanical apparatus in a
storage vault of a New York Sage De-
post company has led to the discovery
that John Needham Longdon, a fellow
of the British Society of Engineers
and an inventor of note, died here of
starvation several months ago while
seeking the secret of generating cleo
tricty. which he believed would rev.
olutionize the power systems of the
world Longdon is said to have spent
100000 in the work and whether he
really discovered the secret he was af-
ter will not be known until friends
have inspected the contents of the
three cases in the storage vault Long
don died in the New York hospital and
was buried in potters field The land
lady of a cheap lodging house had
found him lying upon the floor in his
night clothes, while gas was escaping
from a jet nearby. The autopsy show
ed that exhausted vitality from starva-
ton was rather more responsible for
death than the gas.
