Proof That Mine Blew Up the Maine

Gates that what is now the highest
point originally and structuraIly occu-
pied position at about frame Is. This
suggests that there was an explosion
of mine under that part of the ship,
say about midway between the stem
and the midship section.
The explosion, experts believe, broke
the ship into two parts, throwing one
section, including the coming tower,
toward the stern. the coming tower
falling on the superstructure on the
starboard side. From this position, in
cutting away the wreckage. it has
been allowed to settle to the main
deck slightly forward of the after tur-
ret, which is on the port side Thus
the tower is on the opposite side to
that on which the explosion tool
place.
1t Is confirmed belief that such a
tearing of the ships bottom could not
have been produced by an interior ex.
plosion. 1t is further said that no reg.
ulation military mine could have
wrought such terrific havoc. It must
have been a huge mine. as Captain
Sigsbee and others Suggested at the

More than million dollars absolute
~ disappearing in the short time OF
two hours was the toll collected by the
waters at Black River Falls, Wiscon-
sin. Even the residents of the town
could not realize what it meant until
the lake formed by the Hatfield dam
was dry, and the rush of waters had
passed on to the Mississippi.
Just out of reach of the flood the
business men and residents Of the
place watched the waters carry away
the buildings that represented the
homes of business enterprises which
it had taken years of effort to build.
Among the larger industries seemingly
wiped out within a few minutes was
the plant of Coles Carbolisalve. This
plant, along with others that suffered a
like fate, is today being rebuilt, and
the business men of Black River Falls
promise that a better town shall re-
place the one destroyed by the raging
floods, and that just as rapidly as men
and material can put it together. 1t is
catastrophies like the breaking of the

Baron Hengelmuller, the Austrian

ability, one day at a house in Wash.
ington met young man whose name
he did not catch when the introduc-
lions were made. Chess was the topic
of the conversation by all those in the

man suggested diffidently that he
would be highly honored if the baron
would play a game with him.
The baron consented. They sat
down. After a few moves the baron
looked up from the table check-mated
and found the young man reading a
paper. The chessmen were placed
again and, after not so many moves
as before, the baron looked up to find
the young man reading the paper and
himself checkmated
After his dinner the baron came
back. He wanted another game, being
somewhat chagrined at the ease with
which he had been beaten. AS he
came in he found the young man who
had played with him that afternoon

HE GETS AWAY WITH 1T
Variety Actor Tackles Second Grave
digger In Hamlet and Steals
All the Laughs.

A company playing Hamlet was
forced to find an actor to play the
Second Gravedigger on account Of the
illness Of the second comedian of the
company. The only actor available
was variety performer, who had no
reverence for Shakespeare and no re,
spect for the traditions of the classic
drama. The Second Gravedigger was
a comedy part, and he knew that he
could get away with It,"
When the First Gravedigger threw
off the first waistcoat, revealing an
other underneath, the audience tit
tered. The removal of the second
waistcoat brought loud laugh, and
the third produced a roar. The First
GraVedigger was delighted. He had
never played to such an appreciative
audience, and visions of good notices
in the papers and possible increase
in salary began to loom up before his
eyes. AS he threw off the fourth
waistcoat he turned partly around,
and the cause of the unusual hit was
disclosed to him.
The Second Gravedigger, being &C
customed to build laughs on lines and
business of other actors, saw his op-
portunity and seized it. AS fast as
the First Gravedigger would throw
the waistcoats on the ground. the
variety comedian would pick them up
and put them on. The new business
was much funnier to the audience
than the old, with which it was thor
oughly familiar
Not content with having stolen the
laughs from the regular comedian in
this scene, the new man went fur

HE Maine was destroyed by an ex-
! ternal explosion. There no longer
remains any doubt as to the manner
in which the United States battleship
was sunk in Havana harbor on Feb
ruary Is, 1898. The double bottom of
the ship has been revealed with part
of the keel standing perpendicular,
some % feet higher than it's normal
position. This confirms the report
and testimony which Ensign Powell
son gave before the investigating
board after the disaster and which
was based upon the reports made to
him by divers just after the explosion.
Military experts who inspected the
vessel recently found that the bottom
of the ship stands in perpendicular
position. supported by stanchions The

heaved mass of steel, above the sub
