followers in the Capital, as he wrote
pieces for one of the evening papers here

Tough on poor old Rice. one OF the

Protection Of Coal Miners.

The three coal mine disasters which
occurred in Colorado during the last
year, resulting in the death Of about
300 miners, have resulted in proposed
legislation to obtain better inspection
of coal mines. Representative Joseph
Hurd OF Boulder introduced bill ia
the House providing for the division
Of the state into seven coal mining
inspection districts. The bill provides
for the appointment Of four additional
deputy coal mine inspectors. one for
each proposed district Of the state.
AS proposed in second bill the
mine inspection department of the
state would consist Of chief inspec.
tor, seven deputies instead OF four, a
clerk and stenographer. The salary
of the state mine inspector would be
$4,000 year and that of the deputies
$4,000 year.

The fall was seen by the vessels OF
the squadron and they headed in his
direction at top speed, the Paulding
and the Terry arriving almost at the
same time.
Some difficulty was experienced in
maneuvering the destroyers alongside
the air craft, but the aviator being as
sured by the officers he was safe and
that there was no necessity for haste,
the Terry's lifeboat took him off and
finally he was taken aboard the
Paulding.
Efforts to hoist the machine on the
launching platform failed. Graphing
irons were finally used, and the aero
plane was badly damaged.
While this work was going on the
Cuban flagship Hatuey arrived from
Havana, carrying President Gomez
and friends. She ran alongside the
Paulding, and the President shouted
his congratulations of the pluck Of
the aviator and regret for his ill-for-
tune. After an hours delay the
squadron started for Havana, entering

No Americans Lost.

Manila.-Latest government reports
confirm the previous advices that 300
persons were killed by the earth

buried in the ashes, but it is known
that twenty-one were suffocated and
five fatally burned.
The organized relief expedition now
has charge of the situation. A ma

How would it look for men to wear
their hats in church?
The hats not only obstruct the view of
the preacher and good-looking singers, but
prevent the sound of the voice from reach

Women should consider this and know
that their ugly coal-scuttle and wide
