aspen NINE FIRE, lOMe
sMoulDtRED, BREAKS OUT

Aspen, Colo, Oct. s-One hundred
and fifty miners were driven from their
posts in the Smuggler mine here Tues
day when fire which has smouldered
in the property for twenty years sud
denly developed into volcanolike fero-
city.
Mine Superintendent Dougald Mathe-
son was overcome and several miners
suffered severely from inhaling gas.
The condition of Superintendent Mathe-
son is serious.
The mine shaft belched heavy volumes
of smoke and gas and hurried calls for
federal firefghting apparatus were sent
out.
The fire has puzzled experts since il
developed two decades ago. The mine
is silver-lead property. but the ore is
interlined with heavy streaks of coal
shale in which the fire originated.
Efforts to extinguish with water and
patent chemicals have fai ed repeatedly.

TheatrieaI snperatitiona..

Paris, city of theaters, is full of theatrical superstitions. Nearly every one associated with the theater has some sort of mascot Thus, M. Fer nand Samuel, manager of the Varieties, always wears an old and battered straw hat as a luck bringer at every first night, Mne. Ristori used to walk in 8 cemetery on the day when she had to appear in new part, and Mile BrevaI collects old horseshoes.
 Mile. Mary Garden always consults a clairvoyant before undertaking new character, and Cora Laparcerie and Mime. Berthe Badly never dream of going on the stage without touching wood.
 N. Henri Bernstein believes that there is some curious fetish in the name Zambo. He puts it in all his plays with different orthography. There is always character called Zambeau, ZambauIt, Zambeaux, zam- bau-London Express. z

Morris and t4is Furniture.


 In "Wnliam Aorris-Hfs Work and Tnfuence''. is retuld how the two friends, Burne-Jones and Morris, set ling out to keep house together in the now historic rooms, 17 Red Lion square, found themselves confronted with the uncomfortable ugliness and vulz garity of mid Victorian furniture. Says MT. Clutton- Brock.
 Their rooms were to be furnished. and Morris could not find in any shop a single new table or chair that he could endure. This was not mere fas- tidiousness. To him vulgarity in furnI- ture was, like yulgarity ok manners, the expression of a wrong state of mind, and if his own furnitnfe had been vulgar he would have felt as re- spons1le for it as for his own man ners. Therefore he designed furniture to please himself, making drawings that were carried out by a carpenter. Thus simply and naturally he began his business of poetic upho1sterer.' %a From the first he was not only an artist, but one who tried to make the world what he wished it to be and, beginning with armchairs, end ed with society"

Nashville, Tenn. Nov. 11-There is considerable agitation in suffrage cir cless and a, great deal of preparation on the part Of those connected with the movement for the national conven- ton, which takes place here Nov. 12 to 17. There are two powerful fac tons in the woman suffrage party-the Congressional union and all the others. It is the Congressional union which. under the leadership of Miss Alice Paul, sent out the Democratic black list, telling the women voters in the sl1ffrage states to vote against Demo cratic congreEsmen' who had opposed suffrage. It was greatly feared that this would cause much damage to the cause throughout the west, but as nearly all the candidates bla,ekHsted by the union were safely elected their fears are partly laid Dr. Anna How ard Shaw, the national president, has condemned the policy of holding the Democratic party responsible for the nonpassage of a suffrage amendment and the action to defeat Democratic candidates as suicidal and absolutely contrary to the nonpartisan policy long since adopted by the association The two factions will fight it out at the convention.

Henry Irving in his early days once played q part which in the first act called for a dark stage. In this dark ness he fought with an old earl, threw him heavily, and when he did not rise after the loud thud of his fall Irving would cry out:
 'sGreat heavens, what have done7' One night he played the part in a small English town. A stage hand was very mech impressed with the play. and to him the scenes quickly became real, so that when Irving reached the climax, feIIed the old earl to the ground and spoke the line ssGreat heavens, what have done?'' he was startled to hear the stage hand say in a boud voice.

 The other began at distance of 14o kilometers, the sound being unheard in the intervening 100 kilometers. Sim

Equals Loss of Titanis

The cable reports that Lloyd's, Lon
don, lost $7,500,Oo0 in the recent storm
on the Great Lakes. That loss equals
the value Of the Titanic. Twice as
many lives were lost as with the Vol
turno. The statement ought to i'm
press the lesson that the dangers of
the lakes rival those of the ocean. It
has become the custom to take liber-
ties with the lakes because harbors
are near, and voyages are relatively
short. Cargoes are not carefully
slowed, it is being stated, and the
result is that ships sink or turn over
because their contents shift. And yet
good authorities maintain, on the 9th.
er hand, that the standard of fresh
water sailormen is higher than that
