THE STATE OF DADE N VOL. X. AftP WRITES VERSES Isrtow Philosopher Poses Asa Poet. - o— ■ - SOME LINES IN AN ALGUM fbal He Wrote For a School Qlrl Long Ago— That School Girl Is Now Hls Wife. 'An album’s pages tell of many a friend Dost to the sight, tat to the memory deea." Those lines are the begin! n<g of some worses I wrote in a schoolgirl's album fifty-tour .versa ago. The little 'nook ia near me now. It is old and war worn and it makes me sad to turn its leaves and read the pretty verses that adorn its pages. The authors were her best friends and all are dead but one—the one now writing this letter. -Friend after friend departs—wno has not loot a friend?” This album was captured during the uncivil war and earned away to Babylon and kept a prisoner in a strange land for twenty one years and then was returned thro ugh the mail. It takes conscience a iongo time to bring repefitance to some people. That school girl is my rife —she is now sitting by her win dow sewing, making a little dress for a grandchild. Will she never stop Making little garments? I asked Jes sie last night how many garments it took for her little Caroline in each and every year, and she counted them up— eight little dresses, ten petticoats, four pair day drawers, two pair night draw ers, and one cloak —nay twenty-five garments for winter and as many more for summer, and she makes most all of them herself. My. wife has done all this for ten, children until they were fifteen years old. Fifty times ten mak es 500, and r OO times 15 makes 7,500 garments and she still keeps working on. But she is not worn out nor thin aor -pale nor haggard nor is her eye dimmed when she has on her gold bound glasses. Oh. these good o'd mothers. Mine did the same thing for her flock and my wife's mother the same for hers and so do they all — except some. I loved my mother dear ly, but it grieves me sometimes that I did not. love bar letter, for I did not realize how much she did for me and how her very soul was wrapped up in ber children. Stop young man. and think, hen you are far away from home rollicking and frolicking with your Sy companions,—stop sometimes, stop and think of your good mother and write to her a loving letter. Hopeful and sad she waits for every roan and oarer despairs. But about albums. A friend left his with me for perusal—one of these old time mental photographic albums with about twenty questions to be sn eered. I have seen them before and was amused at the answers, but this one interested me tort its pages con tain an autobiography of many noble xml notable men. It tells a condensed story of their emotional and mental character. When a man of thought Is asked to write an answer to a question he is both cautious and sincere. He knows that he is making an exhibit of his inner life to every one who reads it 5 This album begins with Alex. Step hens -in 1874 and then follows with Robert Toombs, Herschel V.

All these men name the sweetest wards in our language and also the Baddest. Among the last are lost —for- ever lost —it might have been —friend- less —hopeless—forlorn, and one says most of them begin with the letter D, ee disappointment, dismay, destruc tion,despair, debt, duns, death, dam- nation and the devil. There are other wirters in the this album, but space forbids. There are enough for a young man to chose from. From these he can make up a good libraray, for there is not a questionable book among them. Shakespeare and Macauley are in the lead for authors and Washington for character, truth for the best trait in man and modesty in woman. About half these men lik ed the early morn and the other half the twilight, except, however, L. Q. C. Lamar, who says his favorite hour is 1 o’clock at night. (I never knew be fore that he played poker.) Of those sixteen notable men just half are dead. Their record is made up and the book is closed. Their influence upon the present generation cannot be e ticreat ed nor over-estimated. No great or good man or woman has an adequate idea of What he or she is worth to mankind. Last Sabbath we heard a very grand discourse upon environ ment from Rev. Mr. Mum-ford, who has established that industrial school ivear Macon for the r elected children ol the state, those who are under the ban and whom nobody wants and no body aares for —the children of drunk en or disreputable parents and whom no orphanage will receive. The elo quent and earnest preacher declared in ords that burned: “Men and women are not born, they are made! Made by their environments, their parents or their early associates.” He is going over the state gathering up the friend less and pleading with the good peo ple ijo give their children a chance. "Give ©very friendless child a chance,” he earnestly excisumed. His text was bear ye one another’s burdens and so fulfill' the law of Christ.” It is a hardened heart who can listen to him and not give something. There shou'd be another question in that album, what is the worst and moat prevalent trait In mankind? And I would an ger, “selfishness.” —Bui Ai'p in a—aiua Constitution. Killed In a Runaway.

A Fire in a Coal Mine In Diamond* ville, Wyo., Burns to Death All the Miners in One Shaft With a Single Exception. Cheyenne, Wyo., Special—The worst disaster in the hi a wry of coal min ing iu Wyoming since the Almy hor or, eight years ago, occurred at Dla mondville Monday night. Thirty-six men are believed to have perished in a fire which started in Mine Nol, of the Diamondville Coal and Coke Com pany. The blaze was first discovered short ly after the night shift commenced work. It is thought to have origina ted from a careless miner's lamp in the oil room. The flames made such progress that only one man escaped from the two entires in which it was confined His name is Jno. Alexan der and he was frightfully burned in running the gauntlet of the flames. He was suddenly confronted by a wall of fire and smoke and wrapping his head in an overcoat he ran in the direction of the main entrance. He fell uncon scious, and was carried to the mouth of the -mine. The alarm was sounded and hundreds of miners at work in the mines and on the outside rushed o tie'rescue of their imprisoned com rades. The fire had by this time maue such progress that it was impossible to enter the rooms of flames. The en tire night was spent in confining the fire to the two entries and this morn ing it was necessary to seal them up to prevent the flames from spreading to other parts of the mine. This step was only decided upon after ail hope of saving the lives of the men had been abandoned. Nothing could live five minutes in the fire, which was in creasing in fierceness every minute The plugging of .the two entries will smother the fire, but it may be several days before the barricades can be re moved and the chambers explored. The exact total of men*entombed is not yet known as a number are miss ing, some on sick leave and others In the hospital, suffering from burns re ceived while fighting the flames, so that an accurate count s jit present impossible. The scenes at the mouth of the mine during the night and day were heart rendering. Relatives and friends of the entombed miners rushed to the mine, frantically waving their hands and crying lo the mine officials and miners to save their dear ones. Many of the women and childieii were slightly injured in the crowd and by falling over obstacles in the darkness. Diamondville has been the scene ol a number of disastrous fires since the coal mines were opened there, ten years ago, but the conflagrations we e never attended with serious loss of life. The mine is owned by the Oregon Short Line Railroad. Its output is about 175,000 tons of coal per year and upwards of 700 miners are employed. Hor or of Horrors.

He begged his lather and sisters to climb through the broken sash, but they made no reply. In a few minutes the whole structeure fell, buryiug the inmates. Goes to Ashevl la.

At 5 o’clock the members affixed their signatures, the president and vice president 1 raring off, the two secretaries s ; gning !a t. Senor Cisneros Or. cared a sen ration by refusing to sign it.

The United StatfS govern ment has no right to paS3 upon it, f r It is a distinctively Cuban docment and was drawn up by this convention which has ss uined the responsibility of establishing the republic.” Several delegates argued w'th him, tout he was immovable. A3 the de’e gatos retired, Senor Tamayo remark ed: “We are all Cubans, Senor,” and Senor Cisneros replied: “Ye3, wh n the time comes to fight the Americans we w'll fight them tog ther.” Then he turned toward the president’s tab’a and shaking his fiat at the Americ n newspaper men, he aald: “The Ameri cans are like the monkey. When the monkey closes its paw on a thing it never wants to let go.” Subsequently he sad he would sign the oopy of the constitution that had been filed wi‘h the records of the con vention, but would wait until the other had been sent to Washington.
