The Sign of the Black Lily is the
title of the KIeine-Cines release for Sep
tember 2. While essentially a dramatic
story. this two-reel has much aside from
its story interest that will amaze and
delight. How a wary old white-haired
favorite of the clubs and drawing rooms
is exposed as the leader OF a vicious gang
of underworld thieves, how an enter
prising detective worms his way into the
corrupt heart of the organization, makes
an intensely interesting tale. Yet there
are other features distinctly Cines that
will amuse and interest. Walls suddenly
move upward exposing doors which open
automatically, floors disappear. secret
buttons move entire rooms, revealing hid
ing places Of the gang. The valiant fight
of the police against Overwhelming odds
and the dramatic unmasking Of the sleek
william in his own reception room crowded
with guests, makes a film delightful for
its convincing acting and clever story.

RESCUE CORPSES

told horrible stories of crawling
through three miles of debris
which filled the tunnels, many
companions dropping by the way.
side overcome by gases.
Old miners hope that many OF
the entombed miners will survive
predicting that the fatalities will
not exceed hundred.
Yesterday morning 179 men
entered the mine. After the ex-
plosion 38 or 40 escaped through
different entries. Seven hours
later seven foreigners came crawl
ing out of entry badly burned.
They could give no account OF
their experience nor the explo-
sion, except to say the mine was
full of dead men.
Rescue parties went in, but
were driven back often by fire
damp. They, however, recovered
70 bodies. Three entries to the
mine are choked with debris. The
mine is 80 years old and a big
one. The explosion was terrific
and wrecked nine cars, overturn-
ing a 15-ton motor.
1t is believed the gas which
exploded seeped through a crack
in concrete wall separating the
Cincinnati from an old abandoned
mine adjacent to it.
At noon thirty bodies had been
recovered. Preparations were
made to force air into the tunnel.

Champion Fish Story

For years, Editor Adrian p.
Jordan of the PUNTA GoRDA HER.
AID has been acknowledged the
champion fish story author of
Florida and no one has dared,
up to this time, to dispute his
claim to that distinction. There
is about Editor Jordon's fish
yarns an air of originality that
stamps them as in class by them
selves The prevaricatory fea-
lures of his tales are lost sight of
frequently in the grace and charm
with which they are told and the
evident familiarity with the sub
iect which Col. Jordan always
demonstrates.
But we fear Editor Jordan is
going to lose his laurels, if Rube
Allyn, of the Sarasota Sun, is
going to extend himself after the
manner of a story in this weeks
issue of his sprightly paper. Rube
tells US of a remarkable catch in
Sarasota Bay which cclipses any
thing of the sort we have seen re.
Gently and which put Jordan de-
cidedly in the bach round. This
story tells of one haul of, to use
the writer's own words, seventy
Thousand pounds of fish, two and
a half tons" We must confess
that this is ''some haul" but the
most remarkable feature of the
story is that the two and half
tons of fish which were caught on
this momentous occasion weighed
10000 pounds.
We are justified in claiming for
our friend Rube at least honor
able mention in the fish-story cla.s
when he makes 5000 pounds of
fish expand into 10000 pounds
with II few deft strokes of the
pencil. Come again Rnbe; you'll
