banker, stepped from his sisters
home Friday morning to face arraign-
ment, calm in the knowledge that he
had swallowed a dose of hyoscine
the subtle and deadly alkaloid with
which DR.. Crippen killed his wife,
Belle Elmore.
Robin collapsed before he could be
taken into court, with the eXclama'

"I'm a dead man; I've taken poison
tablets"
The case was postponed amid the
greatest excitement, stomach

tonight in the prison ward.
No charge of attempted suicide is
entered against him, and it is thought
he will recover, although the action
of hyoscine is slow and much will
depend on his vitality.

lives and the injury to over score.
Property was damaged severely in
the immediate vicinity of the eXplo-

miles away. Many small houses Of
Mexicans in the vicinity Of the smell

these most of the injured were To-
Gated.
About 20 men were tunneling be-
meath the Stag pile when the explo-
sion occurred, and the tunnels saved
those who escaped with their lives,
as the Stag merely poured down
around them and they survived until
dug out.
At dark Guillermo Dominguez and
Florentino Naitarro had been taken
out dead and as nothing could be
heard from five men unaccounted for
and believed to be in the tunnel No

supposed to be dead. Those in other
tunnels had talked from their pris-

leans.
Marcenti Hermanos, Mexican wo-
man living in a small house near the
smelter, was sick in bed when the ex-
plosion occurred, and its force
wrecked her house, and the wreck
age fell on her. She was taken to
the smelter hospital, where she died
later. Porfrio Vorak, Maturn Mar

or less hurt in these small homes
and Mrs. Mature Marnuez, who was
sweeping her house at the time, was
thrown to the floor and hurt.
The operations of the smelter were
not interfered with. although all win
dows we're broken and holes were
torn in the roof by the falling Stag.

cockNEY AS A DIALECT.
McConnellsbug. Pa.

The efforts of the London county

speech from the schools of the English
metropolis hardly needed the opposi.
uon given in book recently issued In
defense of the dialect This book. which
as, curiously enough. the work of man
named Mackenzie MacBride, contends
That Cockney is no modern dialect, but
that 1t possesses an ancient and hon
orable lineage running back nearly
1000 years. When one born within
sound of Bow Beiis says tibet" for
that" "benk" for bank" and by
lyffe" for "bailiff." he is using no mod
ern corruption OF the English Ian
guage, but the pronunciation of those
words which has obtained not only in
London, but in Kent and Surrey for
hundreds Of years. Moreover, In an
cient times, the words were spelled as
ahe Cockney now sounds them. 80,
doo, are "abaht" and "ahtside" justi.
ned for about" and outside" accord
ing to Mr.. MacBride. He says that
many Londoners have been laughed out
OF these ancient pronunciations, and
he advises them not to change their
speech, because Of outside prejudices
against it, says the Chicago Tribune.
Certainly Cockney would seem to be a
dialect or it would not have survived
for SO many centuries in the midst of
speech which calls itself more cul'
tured. 1t Is a curious fact that in
the Bahama islands, which were set.
tied more than 200 years ago by Lon.
doners. the Cockney dialect is as
strong as in Cheapside.

much OF the unwise agitation of all

pressions about the South, this sec
tion has achieved wonders OF which
1t may we'll boast. Sometimes we
have talked about being too poor to
develop our educational facilities, and
yet the South is now spending for
common-school education largely
over S50,000,000 year, against
S23, 100000 as the total amount thus
expended by the United States in
1860, when the population of the
country exceeded by 100000 the
population of the South at present.
"In its cotton mills this section has
twice as many spindles as the United
States had in 1860. 1t is making
three and a half times as much pig
iron as the United States then made.
Last year it produced almost as much
grain as the whole country raised In
1860, and its total farm products ex-
ceeded by $9OO,O00,O0O the value of
