delightful social affair among the
members of the Entire Nou bridge
whist club, the hostesses of which
were Mrs. H. r. Kibbee, Mrs. VIM. NJ.
Smith and Mrs. Virginia Doyle, the
company being entertained at the
home of Mrs. Kibbee, when the hus.
bands were the guests of honor. The
.hostesses served a seven o'clock din
ner, at which plates were laid for
twenty-four, and a very tempting
meun was arranged for the delecta-
ton of the guests. The hostesses
were assisted in serving by Misses
Jeanette Smith and Mary Kibbee.
At the conclusion of the dinner the
gentlemen enjoyed their cigars for
an hour and then bridge whist was
played during the evening, six tables
being in play. After six games had
been played the scores were counted
up and the highest were held by Mrs.
". E. Turner and T. j. Spangler, 10
whom were awarded the head priz-
es. The evening was a most pleas
ant one and is the last of a series in
which the ladies have entertained
the husbands and members.

MINE HORROR IN TENNESSEE

Membranes Burst Out and
Rescuers Driven Back.
[By Associated Press.1

Knoxville, Tenn. Dec. "a dust eX-
plosion imprisoned about two hundred
men in coal mine Of the Knoxville
Iron Company at Briceville this morn
ing.
At 10:3O a. m, two hours after the
explosion, flames suddenly issued from
the openings of the mine. Up to that
time no person had come out of the
mine, either dead or alive. Even from
the rescue parties nothing had been
heard. 1t was then known that the
entombed men would probably not ex-
ceed one hundred.
Shortly before noon the rescuers
emerged from the mine, reporting that
they had proceeded about a mile into
the mine in each of the two different
shafts, where they had encountered
cave-ins, also smoke and heat, which
drove them back.
The rescuerers will not re-enter the
mine until the government helmets
and line apparatus arrives, which is
expect / early this afternoon.
Three survivors were taken from
the mine unhurt, but they were in
different positions from the majority
OF the men.
1t is believed the explosion occurred
about two miles back in the mine and
eight hundred feet below the surface

Superintendent Stuart.

In relinquishing the duties of super
intendent of public schools, Mr.. Alex
ander T. Stuart will carry with him the
appreciation of community which he
has faithfully and efficiently served.
Mr. Stuart has been connected with
the Washington public SCHOOL system
for more than generation. AS teacher,
supervising principal, and superintend-
ent, he has given the best years of his
life to the cause of education, and the
progress of the schools has been in large
measure due to his management. He
has endeared himself 10 the teachers
through his constant efforts in their be-
half, and he has gained the respect of
the citizens through his devotion to his
work.
1t is gratifying to know that Mr..
Stuart will still be connected with he
schools in a capacity which will allow
the board Of education the benefit of
his judgment and experience

An Increase of Ten Million Dollars.

According TO the Manufacturers
Record, the increase in capital invested
in manufacturing industries in the Dis
trict of Columbia increased from Sao-
10000 in 1904 to $3oooo.ooo in 1909.
While this is not a large amount as
compared with the sums invested in
the Southern States for which figures
are given, it will undoubtedly be sur
prise to many TO know that such a sub
stantial increase is credited TO this To-
cality
1t is not generally known that there
are located in Washington many fac
tories which send their products to all
parts of the United States. For the
most part, these institutions prosecute
their activities without causing any of
the annoyances which generally accom-
-pany manufacturing. and afford in them
selves evidence that the commercial side
of the District can be developed with
out destroying the beauty of the city.
II, in the future, the great water
power which is now wasting its energy
at the Great Falls can be utilized for
the production of electricity, it will be
possible for much more to be done here
in the way OF maintaining factories.
Electric motors can be operated noise
lessly and without smoke, and yet are
powerful enough TO be effective in many
kinds of factories. Even as it is, with
S3ooooooo invested in manufactures
here, the District of Columbia is shown
to be something more than a govern
mental city depending entirely for its
existence upon the Federal departments.

Mr.. Bryce on Washington.

Ambassador Bryce is not given to idle
praise or overstatements. He is his
torian and a careful student of social
and economic questions, as we'll as a
profound scholar. What is more, he
knows America better than a grea,
many Americans. His great work OH
the United States, which is an authority
has amply proved this. He knows other
lands and great cities also, and when he
says that Washington is the most beau
tiful city the statement has the weight
of high authority. The venerable Am
bassador's words were as follows:
Washington enjoys the unique dis
tlnctlon, through its multitude of public
buildings, its wide and shaded streets,
and its symmetry of plan, OF being the
most beautiful capital of its kind the
world has ever seen"
When a man of the standing, ex-
periepce, and authority of the distin-
guished and venerated British Ambas-
sador adds his tribute to the beauty
of the city in such unmeasured terms,
it is testimony that must be accepted
with a deep sense of qualification.

The Photographic Exhibit.

The announcement that the Smith
sonian Institution intends to open soon
an exhibit of photographs, showing the
various stages through which the art
of photography has passed since its
invention will be received with graft
fication by photographers and lovers OF
art everywhere. Indeed, it is strange
that there has not been a systematic
gathering of data and specimens of the
craft heretofore.
The United States undoubtedly con-
tains more professional and amateur
photographers than any other nation.
The exhibit will prove one of rare in
terest, even to the uninitiated. Its To-
cation here means that another valuable
collection of historical specimens will
be added to the hundreds already con-
tanned in Federal buildings, and which
make Washington the permanent ex-
position city of this republic.

THE SPEED MANIA.
Automobile Race and Acroplane
Resp Their Harvest of Death.

Automobile Race and Acroplans
Resp Their Harvest of Death.
From the Charleston News and Courier.
since Phaeton tried to drive the chariot
OF the sun and darkened the skins of the
Ethiopians, the human race has paid Its
annual toll of death to the mania for
speed. Daedalus and Icarus and Darius
Green and host Of others did their
share. The three-banked galley Of the
Romans. their chariot races, and their
morals alike paid tribute to this human
characteristic.
We hardly know which is the more dan
gerous. the automobile race or the aero
plane. Both are typical and both reap
their harvest - death with startling reg
uiarfty. The disaster at Indianapolis
failed 20 startle because 1t was antici-
pated. People take It for granted that
death will follow speed trials. And yet
We speak Of these things as accidents.
How can that be an accident which we all
feel certain will happen? Rather 1t Is an
accident when automobile races are held
without the accompanying tribute OF
human life.
We suppose that the mania will con-
tinue. 1t is hard to eradicate 1t from the
human heart, just as 1t is hard to eradi-
cate the passion for gambling, which has
been a distinguishing feature Of the Teu-
ton since first he appeared in history.
AT the same time, II is altogether wise
that the state should take some means
to control these speed contests and to
insist on the most careful precautions.
The Washington herald., 1911-06-05
Roanoke's Mayor and Recall.

During the past few weeks considerable
attention has been devoted to the city
of Roanoke, Va. where the mayor has
been before the courts upon serious
charges, which has resulted in his re-
moval from office
The episode led correspondent of
the Roanoke Times to ask whether it
was not a vindication of the system
OF recall, his point of view being that
to vote the mayor out of office would
have been more dignifed than a jury
trial, with mass of unwholesome testi-
mony. The answer of the Times is
worth emphasizing. 1t says:
IF we had had the recall here to
deal with Mayor Cutchin we would
have had mass meetings, speeches on
both sides, probably hot newspaper con-
troversies. Runlors and stories, lies and
ISLANDERS from and against the mayors
supporters and opponents would have
filled the atmosphere Excitement would
have been wild Probably we would
have had dozens of barroom and street
fights Excited partisans would have
poured forth vituperation from the
speakers stands and at the corners. In
the maze of accusation and contradic-
ton, charge and denial. the citizen trying
to do his duty would have gone to the
election confused and uniformed 1t
would have been impossible for any man
to know what was truth and what false
hood"
On the contrary, as the Times points
out, the proceeding was as orderly,
peaceable, and decent as the conditions
permitted. The result was convincing
and conclusive to the public mind. The
official had ample opportunity to make
defense, sunlmoning such witnesses as
would help his cause and testifying in
his own behalf. The investigation was
conducted with all the fornality and
solemnity of law, and when it was con-
cluded absolutely no doubt remained as
to the mayors guilt
In this instance the trial by a jury
was infinitely better than an appeal to
the public.
