arine Vosbaugh, who for nea®™y 60
years passed as a man, died at a hos- |
pital here. Miss Vosbaugh was born in |
France 83 years ago. When a young
woman she found it difficult to make |
her way on account of her sex. Adopt- |
ing men's clothes, she obtained em-
ployment as a bookkeeper in Joplin, |
Mo. This position she held for nine |
years, and then accepted a position in |

Nearly $12,000,000 has been shipped

MINE HIS TOMB
'
Under His Home.
Mahanoy City, Pa., Nov. 12.—Down
in the depths of the Draper colliery,
several hundred feet under the sur
face, and almost directly under his
own home, Michael McCabe, 30 years
old, of Gilberton, is entombed. He is
behind thousands of tons of slush and
dirt, alive, but doomed to death, be-
yond all hope of rescue.
He has been imprisoned since 1
o'clock Saturday afternoon, when he
fired a blast which caused a cave-in!
extending to the surface, where the
slush banks were situated.
He fled in the wrong direction and
got into a blind shaft. A fellow work:
man managed to get out of that wing
of the colliery before the roof of the
mine caved in.
The mine breach extends to the
surface, where it yawns 60 feet wide,
right in front of McCabe's rwn home,
where his wife and six childfen vainly
hope for his rescue.
Mine officials say it may be a year
before it will be possible to reach the
place where the man is shut up.
MURDERED AND ROBBED
Body of Man Shot and Terribly Beaten
Found In Field.
Johnstown, Pa., Nov. 11.—Badly mu-
tilated and bearing marks showing

terribly beaten, the body of Willllam
Cline, a prominent citizen of Bolivar,
Pa., near here, was found in a fleld a
short distance from that town. The
earth was torn up over a space of a
quarter of an acre, showing that Cline
had made a hard struggle for his life.
The motive of the crime is thought
to have been robbery, as at the time
of his death Cline had on his person
a large sum of money received from
the sale of a saw mill. This money was

peanut diet. At the end of four days
Venuto became insane and was placed
in a hospital. He had absolutely re-
fused to eat anything but peanuts.

Huntingdon, Pa., Nov. 9.—The strike

the principal difficulty of the New
York banks has come from the de
mand for currency to be shipped
against the balance created by these
re-discounts. As the re-discounts have
been in the nature of an accommoda-
tion and have not brought a cent of
currency to the discounting banks,
they do not feel that they should be
called upon to supply currency in large
amounts under existing conditions.
The fact that practically $60,000,000
in currency disappeared from the New
York banks within a week, as indi
cated by the last bank statement, is
considered sufficient evidence that the

There hax been a general curiosity on
the part of the public to know how a

isfy all, the whole story wax recently
told at Keith's Philadelphia Theatre, in
a remarkable series of life-motion pie-
tures called “The Making of a Modern
Newspaper.” “The Philadelphia Ree
ord” was selected as the model by 8S.
Lubin, who made the series of very real
istic pictures,
The series opens with a scene repre
senting a newspaper office over a hun- |
dred years ago. This is to give artistic |
and historical contrast to the great me- |
chanical advance in jonroalism since
that time. It shows the outside of an |
old Philadelphia printing shop, and the |
next glimpse is of the inside of the same |
printery. A journeyman is laboriously

critically at the sheet, and again returns |
to Lis office, in a short time putting on
his hat and walking out.

with the great crowd watching the pro-
ow of an exciting game between the
etroits and the Athletics,
The next picture shows the business |
offices of “The Philadelphin Record,”
with the office force and the ordinary
routine of business going on, From that
point the real tour of “The Philadel |
phia Record” establishment begins. i
The managing editor is shown in con-
sultation with various members of his
staff, and all so true to life that the
effect is as if they were transacting their
business in real flesl and blood before
the audience. Next comes the cit
editor, with his Sorps of reporters, eac
one attending to his or her own busi-
ness, according to the exigencies of the
moment, This scene is succeeded by |
the department of the advertising man-
ager, which shows an array of solicitors
receiving their various assignments.
Receiving want and other advertise-
ments by telephone is an interesting
sight that follows next. This is a fea- |
ture of advertising that in recent times |
has grown to great proportions. Some- |
thing akin, but broader in its scope, is |
the succeeding view of the telegraph
room, where a skilled corps of operators |
is busy receiving news from every point |
of the compass. The messages are di- |
rectly taken on typewriters, and so |
realistic is the picture that the specta- |
tore can almost fancy they hear the |
click and rattle of the instruments and
the machines, :
Next comes a prominent feature of the
making of a modern newspaper—the
“Drawing of the Daily Cartoon.” The
spectators see the artist actually at work
and are at once impressed with the deft-
studio. The next step is into the Me-
chanical Department, the visitor is

machine, which in one simple operation
does the work of the four machines hith- |
erto deemed necessary for shaving, trim- |
ming. cooling and acenrately finishing
the semi-cylindrical stereotype plates.
The next natural step is a visit to
“The Philadelphia Record” press room,
and the exhibition is such a fine one
that even the dullest admire the mag-
nificent series of views so faithfully por- |
trayed on the screen, The great presses |
ave shown to the fullest advantage from |
