WHY cannot members of the federal congress
W and of state legislatures provide a better and
more sensible manner of paying respect to deceased
colleagues than by adjournment for a day with the
incidental and inevitable stopping of the public
business?
1t is easy for cynics to say that legislative ad-
journments at any time and for any purpose, are
good things in themselves, and therefore TO be
encouraged. That, however, at least exaggerates
whatever element of truth the statement contains.
Adjournment for deaths often, as now in congress,
delay the settlement of pressing problems, and
therefore are costly in more than the mere pro
longation OF a Legislative session. AS a mark of
respect it is purely conventional and arbitrary
it is only a symbol with releyance rather remote
from the substance of grief.

25 ARE KNOWN DEAD IN

Alive.

Spanglcr, Pa, Nov. 6.-tifty-
five of the ninety-four mlurr>
who went down into the Reilly
mine Of the Reilly Coal company
here this morning, few minutes
before the workings were torn by
an explosion, were unaccounted
for when the rescue crews came
up the shaft at 6 o'clock tonight.
Twenty-Five, they said, have
been killed and fourteen have
been taken to hospital badly
hurt.
Hope that some of the missing
men still are alive was reflected
in reports which came to the sur
face that a brattice, built of old
timbers by the miners after the
explosion, cut off a part Of No. i
heading to the left of the main
entry.
Look behind this WALL had
been burned in smooth place
on timber by an acytelene lamp.
knowing that experienced MN
ers would take every means to.
help their rescuers, this startling
sentence was taken to mean that
the men still are alive.
But no attempt was made to
tear down the brattice for the
main entries were filled with gas
and United States bureau of
mine engineers feared that such
course would send the deadly
poison to where the men. already
weakened by the hours of ankle
ty and unprotected by oxygen
helmets, may be hidden.
They hope in a short ti9e to
have the entries cleared of gas
when, they said, the brattice
would be demolished. They de-
termined upon this course after
one of their canary birds, taken
with them from Pittsburgh, had
died in the foul air.

to work constructing rude wooden
chapel which was destined to become
world famous through the successive
churches that followed 1t.
In the erection of one Of these churches

that the shrine had curative powers Louis

construction OF the church to show his
reverence for the patroness saint, al.

rheumatism, from which he had suffered
since his youth. But he had no sooner

his rheumatism vanished. N

which she gathered from bramble bushes
and told him to take this and show 1t to
the ruler, who would be convinced, in
consideration of the fact that roses were
out of season, that he had really seen the
Virgin.
Showing the roses as his proof, Juan
Diego finally was admitted to the palace.
He told the ruler Of his extraordinary ex-
perience. His story was doubted, and the
Indian prepared to show his proof. He
opened his blanket to show the roses;
they had disappeared, and in their stead
there was picture Of the Virgin woven
into the cloth of the blanket. The evil
dent miracle instantly convinced the ruler,
and he constructed the church which now
stands on the spot pointed out by Juan
Diego--a church somewhat wrecked but
retaining nevertheless its marvellous cura
tive powers
Except for one other. these two shrines
are the most famous in the world. This
one is the shrine of the Grotto of Lourdes
in the Pyrenees of France, not far from

1t is curious that the other famous
healing shrine of North America, the
shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe, near
Mexico City, was also overtaken by disas-
ter recently Mexican radicals placed
bombs under the celebrated chapel and
wrecked it, but the statue to which divine
powers are attributed was unscathed.
This shrine too, has had most interest
ing history. 1t was established In 1881.
The legend is as follows: Juan Diego,
a poor Indian, was wandering in the noun
tains when suddenly the Virgin appeared
In his path and ordered him to return to
Mexico City for an audience with the
Spanish ruler OF the province She tcld
the Indian that he must ask the ruler to
build church on the spot where they
then stood. Bewildered, he told her that
he was only poor Indian and would not
be able to even get within sight OF the
ruler who was great man with little time
and no inclination to see such an insig-
nificant person as Juan Diego. For an
swer the Virgin took q small blanket
worn by the Indian, filled 1t with roses
