Or all of them will die.
One OF the men killed was member
Of the first rescue party which entered
the mine Immediately after the first
explosion occurred. The other men,
bers of the party were trapped mile
from the mouth of the mine by the Sec
on explosion. A second rescue party
failed to locate the men who were
alive, owing to the burning gases in
the workings. A third party of rescu-
ers entered the workings later and
brought out all members of the first
party and later found the bodies of the
dead miners over a mile and a half
from the mouth.
It is believed that number Of other
miners we're in the workings at the

which is now on it's way here. Among
those killed are Harry Dudley, thirty

When Hannibal was besieging Rome
there were those among the inhabi-
tants who bought and paid good prices
for the land on which his army was
encamped. That was the spirit that
made the ancient Romans rulers Of the
world. Americans on many occasions
have displayed the same splendid cour'
age and confidence in the face OF
danger. They showed it in Chicago in
1871 by planning to rebuild before the
ashes were cold after the great fire.
They showed it at San Francisco, after
earthquake and conflagration had done
their worst, and they are showing 1t
at Omaha amid the ruin and desola-
ton following the onslaught of the
tornado.

A clergyman who preached to con-
gregation of young people recently
selected as the subject of his dis
course, after Marriage-What?" and
gave several excellent practical sug-
gestions. One was that every mar
ried couple should recognize as a
paramount duty their duty toward
each other. Another was that they
should keep up honeymoon courtesy,
and still another that they should es-
tablsh a home of their own. BE 1t
ever so humble" he insisted, "a
home of their own should be the fixed
purpose Of every young couple after
marriage" 1t is safe assertion
that no connubial venture conducted
on these principles will come to wreck
upon the rock of divorce.

From London comes the sad news
that Mrs. Fell, a niece of Lord Mac.
aulay, the historian, has died in a
workhouse hospital at Manchester
aged eighty-five. Mrs. Fell, who was
the widow Of clergyman, received an
allowance from relatives, but when
she became i'll and two nurses were
necessary to attend her she was taken
to the hospital. Why 1t should have
been necessary to take her to the hos

and the explanation in the conclusion
of the dispatch seems to cancel the i'm,
plication of the opening sentence that
the niece of Macaulay died pauper.

New York, May 20.-Fifteen thou

their trade in Manhattan, according to
the census taken by the bureau of So
cial hygiene, the permanent organiza-
ton for the investigation of vice condi-
tions that was the outgrowth of the

and of which John d. Rockefeller, Jr.,
is chairman
An abstract of the forthcoming re-
port of George j. Kneeland. special
investigator, after painstaking inquiry
into commercialized vice conditions In
Manhattan, extending over period
of nearly ten months, has just been
made public. Mr.. Kneeland con-
Quoted similar inquiry for the Chi
cago vice commission.
The report suggests no remedies,
fixes no responsibility. That phase
is to be dealt with later 1t purports
merely to describe accurately vice
conditions in New York city with the
sole purpose of bringing out the
facts" The hope is expressed that
subsequently satisfactory policy %
check the evil may be worked out.
Mr.. Rockefeller himself contributed
the foreword to the volume. Future
reports will deal with conditions in
other large cities in. America and
with methods and their results OF
combating the problem in Europe. Elk
listing preventive, Informative and cor
receive agencies in New York are de'
scribed as wholly inadequate to their
task.
Aside from a series Of chapters
dealing in minute frankness with the
operation of notorious resorts through
out the city, the report treats OF the
dance hall evil and of the alarming
spread of the so-called massage par
lors. cover 800 of these exist in the

Of them not the slightest effort was
made to cloak the immoral nature OF
the business. Operators for these es-
Establishments are often procured by adj
vertising in the newspapers"
Of the dance halls the report says:
'The public dance hall was found
to justify the worst that has been
said Of it. OF seventy-five dances re-
ported on only five were characterized
by the investigators as decent Nor
are these dances attended only ny
hardened profiigates. Young girls
some innocent-others, if not entirely
innocent, at any rate not wholly de-
PRAYED, and young men not yet alto
gether vicious, attend the gatherings
in search of amusement and change.
MANY are innocent working girls,
who seek legitimate recreation. The
sinister element in attendance is the
hired cadets, who attend with the cold
blooded purpose of finding new sub
jects of debauchery and of subsequent
exploitation for gain. These agents
of commercialized vice are usually
we'll dressed, well hammered and in
troduce themselves politely to strang-
ers. They often pretend to love ut
first sight and exhibit marked devo-
ton, by whichthe girls are deceived
and to which they too often yield.
When the seduction of the girls is &C
complished they are put on the street
and their ruin is complete"
