"The Russian Peasant"

There is an appeal in this strong play
which will go straight to the heart Of
almost anyone who sees it. The poverty
and misery of the Russian peasant is
faithfully reproduced Whether the cru
city of the nobleman and his friends as
shown is real, or occurs only in rare in
stances must be left for those who know
to say; but the picture is deeply affect
ing. A princess. the story shows, gained
the gratitude of one of the despised
peasants when she prevented an attack
upon his sister. Then comes an uprising
Of the peasants, and the grateful one
is able to recompense her for her kind
ness. And she, quicker to see actual
conditions than her father, induces him
to institute reforms which benefit these
unfortunates 1t has merits well worth

Recently brief and preliminary an

which remains to be done in the far
north, especially in the unknown in

has contributed $1,000 and Bowdoin
alumni will contribute as much or
more. through their interest and pride
in Macmillan, who was one of Peary's
lieutenants on his successful dash to
the pole
AS to Crocker Land itself, it was

name being in honor of George Crock

DEATH" suicide league which is said
to have a large membership in St.
Petersburg.
The meeting, which was held in a
house in the heart of the city, began
early in the evening, in order not to
excite the attention of the police, and
for the same reason the members ar
rived singly, many by the back en-
trance. The attendance included men
and women, young and old. Several
of the men were in uniform.
The large meeting room was thick
ly carpeted, and heavy curtains
masked the windows. Over the door
was the inscription, "AIl hope aban-
don, We who enter here" On the door
two crossed scythes were shown on a
flaming red background.
Portraits of Schopenhauer, Hart
man and other apostles of pessimism
were hung on the walls; also large
picture portraying the legendary dis
pute between Life and Death. A few
candles gave the only light by which
the proceedings were conducted. The
president and other committeeman sat
at a long table covered with a black
cloth, on which was an urn in which
the suicidal lots were cast.

LIVES LOST IN
NINE EXPLOSION
Forty-three Americans Among
Those Who We're Killed.
ONLY ELEVEN MEN ESCAPE
Explosion OF Gas Or Accumulated
Coal Dust Takes Terrible Toll OF
Life In the San Boise Mine
Near McCurtan.

McCurtain, Ok.-One hundred and
five lives is accepted as an approx.
imately correct estimate of the human
toll taken when Mine No. 2, of the
Sans Bots Coal Company here, was
wrecked by an explosion OF 116 men
of the day shaft only II are known
tombed behind the debris.
In the opinion of government eX-
perts and mine officials they are dead.
The explosion occurred shortly after
9 o'clock Those on the surface heard
a faint rumble and an earth tremoT,
When those nearest to the mouth of
the mines mouth reached the opening
cloud Of dust and smoke belched
forth.
Then came tense moments of wait
ing for those in the mine to emerge.
Frank Fields, a miner, was the first
to stagger out. He was walking in an
entry and heard the explosion, he said.
He jumped into side room and the
explosion passed, and he made his way
to the mine opening. Nine other
miners escaped through another shaft
AS soon as possible rescue party
went into the mine, but they could
proceed no further than the sixth level
because of the accumulation Of debris.
Superintendent Brown stated that
the force and extent of the explosion
was such that only by the remotest
possibility could any of the entombed
men be alive. The mine machinery is
operated by compressed air. and there
are three small pumps in different sec
tions OF the mines. These pumps ex-
haust pure air.
II the force of the explosion and
flames did not kill all of the men,
there is a remote chance some of them
are being kept alive by these fresh
currents providing the pumps are not
out of commission. To this one slim
chance the relatives and friends of
the entombed men cling with pitiful
hope.
The explosion, according to mine ex-
perts, was from either accumulated
gas or coal dust. The Sans Bots
property is owned by the Fort Smith
and Western Railroad Company.

TO SEEK NEW LAND

the ice horizon. 1t is figured that this
land, which no polar explorer has ever
visited, is in 100 west latitude and SO
north latitude, or about 1870 miles
from Cape Thomas Hubbard. which is
the northern tip of Axel Heiberg
Land
Men of science feel that the veri-
fication of these observations and de-
auctions by making a long trip north
westward from Cape Thomas Hubbard
is the last great geographical problem
for solution.
The expedition will leave Sydney
by special steamer on July 90, and
will establish winter quarters at
Flagler bay in north latitude 70 On
the way whale and walrus meat and
dogs will be collected and the ship
will be sent home In September and
through the long arctic night, when
the moon is favorable, the supplies
will be sledged to Cape Thomas Hub
bard, $50 miles farther on toward the
goal.
When the arctic day begins to dawn
in February, 1913, the expedition will
push over the 1870 miles of ice to the
unknown Croker Land, and if no
game is found the return to Cape
Thomas Hubbard will be made in the
following May. On the return to the
headquarters at Flagler bay scien-
tific work will be carried on in Grant
Land, and then the headquarters and
the collections will be transferred

most northerly Eskimos.
