PAINFUL ACCIDENT

Last night while trying to hurry the fire by putting coal oil in the stove on which she was preparing supper, Mrs. Louis 4. Kenner was painfully burned about the face and neck when the oil exploded. Her eyebrows and lashes were burned off, but her eyes were uninjured. Mrs. Kenner who was recently married here in Seward after journeying all of the way from Virgin ia is vivacious little woman and evil dently was determined that her hus- band should not be obliged to wait for his supper. She has been taught a painful lesson and from now on it will be safe to bet she will not use coal oil in the stove.

LORD MAYOR LLOYD GtORGt
 MCSWE[N[Y AND MINERS DIES TODAY FAIL TO AGREE

LONDON Oct., 25- Lloyd George and the cabinet members and the re- personalities of the striking coal miners conferred for three hours to- day without there seeming to be much hope for an immediate settlement of the coal strike. As result of the di- rect negotiations between the miners and the government the ,;it1.46ion still remains in deadlock. Neither side has disclosed the nature of the negotia- tionS but official report states that Lloyd George suggested new forlnu- "a which would satisfy the government and that il the two sh.llings .dya.:rc in wages was conceded it would have to be accompanied by an increased output on the part of the miners.

EXCELLENT SERMON

Rev. T. J. Mcqueen spoke both morning and evening at the Methodist church to good sized congregations yesterday.
 Special music by the choir assist ed b. j.r. Wilson, sol'st, a} led much to the effectiveness uf tne services.
 The subjcct of Rev. McQueen's ser mon in the evening was, "The Voice of Authority"
 "There are many voices," said Rev. Mcqueen, that speak various things to various people at various times, but there is one voice only that speaks the right thing to all people at all times. A voice out of cloud on the mount of transfiguraeion said of Jesus: This is my beloved Son: hear ye him. Jesus taught as one having author ity, and it is to his words and his promptings through our own conscien- ce that we must look for guidance in the conduct of our lives"
 Those who did not attend church last evening lost the opportunity to hear helpful sermon we'll and clearly expressed. No condensed abstract of Rev. McQueen's talk would be fair either to the speaker or to the reader, and hence will not be further attempt ed.

] SOME l FACTS : WORTH KNOWING
ALASKA WET WITH
 LIQUOR AND SNOW

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct., 25- With SO l. uch snow in Alaska bow coyid it be dry country?
 That the problem that William H. Jordan, federal prohibition agent, will put up to his superiors in the en- forcement of prohibition.
 Jordan returned yesterday to San Iran. isco from hurried trip to the northern territory. A report that Alaska had continued wet in spite of the fact that the United States had gone dry was responsible for his ex- petition.
 Alaska is not much different from the rest of the county" said Jordan. "There is plenty of booze but it is hard to get. The people who are we'll known get it, but the stranger has to go out and dig in the snow.
 From what Isaw 1 would say that to enforce prohibition in Alaska it would be necessary to get Federal agent on snowshoes for every Eskimo ice palace. The Eskimos have learn ed the tricks of the homemade still from their American friends.
 "When the snow stops falling in Alaska the territory will be dry. The old timer in Alaska has it all over the Federal agent. He can dive into a snow bank and get drink The Fed era! agent dives in after him and gets tn, umonia.
 "Ihe great problem of the Alaskan is low to get wine. The country does not produce grapes. There Is still some wine to be had in Alaska. If the federal officers follow up the situation closely enough they may be able to cut off the supply of grape juice and limit the residents to home made whisky.
 "Raiding 3 still in Alaska is fu- tile task. They start another one in the next snowbank. As long as fer mentation will produce alcohol it seems to me the frontier countries will have their spiritus frumenti."
 Jordan spent a month on his trip to Alaska. A meeting of the leading citizens of Nome and the territory was held and the situation placed before him very frankly.

 CORK, Oct, 25- .Feverish interest is being manifested in this city over the possible developments which may occur as result of Lord Mayor Me Swinneys' death. Mingled with the grief into which the people of south Ireland were plunged when they learn ed of the death of McSwiney, is feel ing of intense bitterness While the authorities regard it as extremely i'm probable that there will be any serious outbreaks among the people as whole it is expected however that the guerilla warfare against the police and military forces guarding the jail where a number of hunger strikers are still confined, will be extended considerably. The jail is guarded in side and out by large number of soldiers with machine guns, tanks and armoured cars. The death of Joseph Murphy another hunger striker is ex- pected shortly. The jail chaplin has said prayers for the dying man and the mother and two sisters are at his bedside awaiting the end.

There may be good reason" he

suming authority in Fiume: but the
policy of such a course is by no
means clear"
| Intervene When Necessary.
| I'VE have lived in friendly inter

! intervening in their affairs only when
it was necessary in defense of our
rights" he asserted. We have en-

| Of the wise policies of Washington
and Monroe have preserved national

| but for all the young republics in the
| western hemisphere We have great
! happiness of the citizen the chief

J to national power. The course which
we have heretofore pursued has been

refuge for those who have been
willing to join us in this experiment
! of free government America has been
a blessing to the world.
! Before abandoning this lamp by
which our feet have been guided for
[ a new dispensation we should be-
ware, lest in doing so we sacrifice the
benefit we have derived from it
Duty to Philippine People.
I'VE have brought liberty to the

have given them an enlarged measure
of material prosperity. 1t is now pro-
posed that we should abandon them

the mighty task of reconstruction. BY
the defeat of the league of nations
the American people have been de-
prived of the privilege of taxing
themselves a billion dollars and of

The citizen is in revolt at evils

II this temper in our people increases
and then becomes understood to the
world, America is at once imperiled
by those who would rejoice in our
downfall. Truth must record the fact
that the United States has not one

Mr.. Lewis urged that we "go forth
and preach the meaning of America
