SHOOTING STARS.

When Sorrow Speaks.

When Sorrow Speaks.
With solemn tread the world moves on
In one accord at last
The bitterness of strife is gone;
The enmities are past
In hours of sunshine we neglect
The things that are most dear
But in the shadows we reflect
And turn to thought sincere
:
The sneer into the smile will creep.
We carelessly rejoice
And only hear in sorrow deep
The Truths eternal voice.

integrity and capacity" This like
wise is the opinion of the Philadel-
phia Inquirer. which suggests "if Mr.
Coolidge had been especially selected
for an emergency of the character
which now confronts the country, he
could not have better fitted into the
situation-the sixth Of its kind in our
history-than he does. He has the
characteristics which go we'll in a
crisis. He is calm. thoughtful and
sober minded; he thinks twice before
he speaks once. He has behind him
the conservative traditions of New

The fact that every time he has
been candidate for Office he has
been elected convinces the Philadel-
phia North American that he salts
fed the voters of his scrupulous hon

SEVENTY OF DAWSON DEAD ARE
BURIED WITH SIMPLE
CEREMONY.
MINERS ARE. BURIED
DEATH LIST IN MINE DISASTER
EXPECTED TO TOTAL ONE
HUNDRED TWENTY.

Dawson, y. M.-The shattered
depths of Dawson mine No. l had Civ
en- up seventy dead and two living.
Within the subterranean tomb fifty
miners still remain. 1t is more than Il
reasonable certainty that. all have per-
ished, according to officials.
Bathed in the warm rays of Il daz-
cling sun, Dawson set about the task
of burying her dead. The rough pine
boxes, carrying all that vas mortal of
those whose lives were snuffed out in
the disaster, were borne through the
main street of the town, out along the
winding rustic trail to the peaceful,
cross-bedecked hillside, which is to be
their last resting place.
A small knot of men idled around
the entrance to the mine waiting Tor
more bodies to be brought out. A
huge crowd surged against the ropes
which barred them from the mine
mouth. In the crowd were many wom-
en- and children. AS in the other days
since the blast, they are dry-eyed, un-
emotional and quiet.
Touching scenes were enacted in
lht illlt SdlliOilt tlluItu VI DdN sui
and at the graveside. 1t was there,
apparently that the full realization of
the enormity of their los smote for
the first time many of those who have
been too stunned by the explosion to
betray their sorrow.
In a few brief words of comfort,
Father Joseph Couterier and a visit
ing priest sought to assuage the pain
of the people left behind, as the last
rites of the church were admins
tered to their loved ones.
In Protestant homes the last rites
were simple.
Dawson's soldier dead were buried
with such military services as posi-
BILE in h emergency. The collins of
War were wrapped in the Stars and
Stripes.
Each grave will be marked with n
simple cross bearing the name of the
occupant. Adjoining the burial plot
of Thursdays disaster are more than
20 graves of Dawson men who died
when Stag Canon Mine No. . vas
wrecked by an explosion in 1913.
Regular shifts of more than fifty
men worked inside the mine. In sew
eral instances bodies have been found
to be deeply buried in debris. Others
are visible beyond piles of rocks and
coal and will be brought out as soon
as passageways have been cleared for
the observation-disclosures.
Daniel Harrington, supervising en-
gineer of the United States bureau of
mines, after "a journey through the
damaged mine, declared his search had
revealed nothing to indicate what was
responsible for the blast.
'"The mine shows the usual wrecked
condition of a mine after an explo-
sion," he declared.
