FULLY SEVENTY-FIVE KILLED

Sixth Explosion OCCURS III Gh9'is"
Colliery.
Coinsborough, Eng, July 11.-There
was a sixth explosion in the Cadeby
colliery, in which at least seventy-ive
and perhaps a larger number of men
were killed Tuesday.
Though members of the rescue Far
ties were overcome by fumes none
persisted. The succession Of blast
after blast In the mine is making the
search for the bodies of Tuesdays
victims almost suicidal.

SCREAMERS.

A NEW KIND Of insanity has been discovered by a great Euro
~ pean psychologist. It consists in the habit of talking or
- writing in screams-in saying of a book, or play, or what
not: This is the best ever! Here is the genius Of all timel At last
the perfect novel!
The great doctor who discusses 1t finds tho best example Of this
madness in certain modern critics. Their main idea is to amaze,
astonish and deafen their audience. BY beating drums and blow
ing trumpets they seek to draw attention to themselves They write
in ecstatic bursts broken only by exclamation points. They lose all
sense of proportion and sclfcontrol.
The doctor calls this insanity superlativsm and says tho Ger
mans have it worst.
But surely the germ in mild form is everywhere. What about
the girl who has the heavenlest time of her life" at every party
she goes to? Or the man who says the weather is "the worst he
ever saw" after it has rained an hour. We all say a hundred times
n day far more than we mean. Exaggcration is one OF the COM
monest of bad habits. 1t is good policy to try to be accurate, to
speak habitualy in moderate tones. Then when we do have occa-
sion to shout people will sit up and pay attention.

Deputy Commissioner. II was MT
Dougherty who planned out the cam
paign and engineered tho arrests.
in pursuance Of his labors brought Into
the Police Department . lot OF new
ideas about the detection OF crime and
the apprehension of criminals.
Mr.. Dougherty Is qualified by expert
ence to teach new methods to police
detectives, for he has been a detective
t~wenty-four years-more than half his
life. For FIVE years he was manage OF
the Plnkerton Agency In this city and
for ten years before that wa assistant
manager, A. manager of the New York
office he had practically the direction
of tho criminal investigation work OF
the Piniscrtons all over the country.
He was trained in the old detective
school. but he has long since
many Of the old time detective methods.
II Il %pougherty's belief that q detective
should keep up TO Date. Just as an en-
gineer. an electrician. . surgeon or q
man in any profession 70 required to
keep step with advancement In ideas.
Mayor Gaynor asked Dougherty to 90
into the Police Department half . dozen
times before Dougherty accepted on
Nav 1. 1911. At frst his environment
was not happy. but since h advent OF
COMMISSIONS Waldo Dougherty has
been allowed to work without inferfer-
ence. lie went at the taxicab robbery
case with the avidity of . starving man
going to a meal.
It 10 Dougherty's belief that a detec'
tive should be something OF q dramatist.
In his work he should arrange his plots
and set his stage after he manner OF
a playwright and tag manager. He
worked out the taxlcsb casc along these
lines.
It was no who adopted the idea OF
planting Mrs. Goodwin. tho police ma
tron, In the house where "Swede Annie
lived. Mrs. Goodwin reported To him BY
code over tho telephone. Everything

ment," said Dougherty. II found
prejudice against using the long dis
lance telephone on account OF mo ex
psnse. Everything was figured down or
the basis of expense. Many a good cas
was spoiled because OF the fear o.
spending money.

OR DRESS?

w at her golden wedding the other day. She went on
W to lament that whereas women used to spend their
time thinking out how they could best keep house for their hus-
bands, now they all want to be ladies.
Possibly. But isn't it really a good thing that they don't have
to spend all Of their time any more on housekeeping? Isn't it a
good thing that they have more free hours to improve themselves in
body and mind? Are they not more than ever before companions
and sources of pride to their husbands3 Are they not more ambi-
tious for their chIdrsn3 Must they DO croncs in tho chimney
cornerp
1t may be true that many women think too much Of dress.
Il may DO true that some neglect their homo duties. But have
women a. q whole ever been moro intelligent, moro capable, more
eager to keep attractive and young, and to help their husbands and
sons and daughters to get the best out Of life1
