By the exhibition of the truest courage, courage that burns steadi ly besides (lashing brilliantly, it accom plished its object and added a glorious pnge to the history of the country. '"Ludysmith was successfully held nnd relieved, and the sailors and soldiers, colonial and home born, who had done this, were united by oue desire aud in spired by one patriotism."

For one so young lie com mands nn amount of language, correct ly pronounced, that is remarkable, lie is a busy boy, with ninny queer schemes running through his henrl. But lie shines ben playing n knife anil fork, for here is he truly great, snys the Chlcngo Chronicle. It was at n family reunion that he was asked and replied to u question of j a personal nature. His retort silenced his Inquisitive nnd would-bc joculiu uncle, while the remainder of the fam ily Frank excepted roared with laughter. The party was too big to have all seated at the extension tnble, so the children four in number were placed at n smaller Uible, where they were able to do as much damage as could have happened had they been with their elders. Frank was served badly, for he has a fine appetite, and is not bothered with bashfulness. He bore down on a drum stick with vigor and filled his fat face with the meat, lie was earnest In en deavor arid suspended all comersHtidn. One of his uncles g'.anccil at the boy .us he munched, nnd said: "What are you doing, Frank?" The boy was employed on a large mouthful at the time, and, like a skill ful genernl, he attended to the mutter in mouth first. lie carefully niasti cnted the cud, swallowed with an air of satisfaction nnd then turning his head over his left shoulder replied as follows: "Oh. I'm doing so and so." He immediately resumed operations on the drumstick. Crime I pun Crime.

Governor Atkinson Declares That Thosoat Fault Will Bo Punished. 1IINTON. W. Va., March 7.-It is practically a certainly that 4' lives were lost in the explosion at the Hed Ash mines, reported iu tliene dispatches yes terday. The cause of the explosion is unknown, but is supiHised to huve occur red from a miner entering un unued room iu the mines with an open lump. There were 4'2 men iu the mine ut the time of the explosion, and if it hud re sulted I'D minutes later the loss of life would have reached 1.TO or more. Mo far IK dead bodies have beeu recov ered, of which the following have been identified: It. It. Long, .Inlm Day, Joe Klliu t, Hat (juarlcs, Sam Jackson, .luiurs Hackney, boss diivcr, and Wil liam Day. . The others who have been taken out could not be idciitllled. Tile work of res rue is being pushed as rapidly as possible, but the after damp being very strong, the men can work but a few minutes ut a time. Slate Mine Inspector J.ffics W. Paul bus arrived here and is in the lied Ash mine, rendering what assistance his ex perience enables him to give. (ioveruor Atkinson ami Secretary Hoggs have arrived also. The governor declares his intention to fix the responsibility, if possible, and see thut proper punishment is meted out. A large number of cars were strung out from the mouth of the opening and down the bill. The lumber in most of them was re duced to kindling wood. One man was blown out of the mine clear down the in cline. Tim Crunipton, blacksmith, win shoeing a mule outside of n side opening. He was thrown to the ground with great violence. Three hundred feet up the river from the mouth of the mine the force from within threw np the dirt and made an opening from the outside. There was n connection from the Ued Ash to the Hush linn mine, just ubove this place, and the force of the gas was so great from the lied Anil into the Hush linn that the nieu had to stop work. There was no fall of the roof iu the Hed Ash, but wherever there was nnythiug loose in the mine or wherever there whs anything thut the rush of air could take hold of ami tear loose it was picked up and enrried toward the mouth of the mine until it met with some immovable obstruction. The electric fixtures were entirely wrecked, nnd the compressed air pipes were wrenched and torn into a thousand pieces. No one has paused to calculate the money damage, but it will be very heavy. The lied Ash mine is a large drift, and the explosion occurred near the entrance, which was thus closed by the falling slate, entombing a large jiuuiber of min ers. The scene of the disnster is between Fire creek and Thurmond, -nn the South brunch of the Chesapeake and 'Ohio rail way, and every assistance possible was rendered by the railway company nnd by the adjoining mining towns. Itelief par ties from great distances arrived as soon as possible. State Mine Inspector Pinck ney with a corps of experts and many workmen was on the ground during the day rendering all assistance possible and devoting his nttention more toward re lief than to an official investigation as to the cause of the disnster. At the mouth of the mine the scene was beyond description. The wives and children aud the neighbors of those who were known to be entombed were there iu full force, and their anxiety nnd dis tress were most intense. While they were all seeking to help those who were rescued and to get the mine reopened, yet these berenved people were for the most part in the way of the rescuers and had to be held back from the entrance. The mine is one of the lurgest In West Vir ginia aud was very heavily timbered in the difTercut drifts. It was for this rea sou Seared that those who had not been killed by falling debris at the time of tho explosion would be pinioned by theso connected timbers aud suffer death from sultocutlou.

WHERE ICE WAS SCARCE. Amusing Hsnrrlenee of a Prima Donna In a Oae-llnrse South ern Hotel. Miss Dorothy Morton, prima donnn, tells of nn ninnsing experience which befell her several years ago when she was playing "one night stands" through the south. It was in n small town of Virginia, noted, even in that state, for Its wretched hotels. Return ing to the hotel after the night's per formance Miss Morton desired sonielcr water, und after repeated culls nn old darky struggled upstairs to lake her order. The dnrky went as he came, and It seemed to Miss Morton that he never would come back. Another call was made. lp he came again, saying: "Yas, missus, I'll bring it directly." Directly might have meant to-morrow or the next day as far as the waiter was concerned, for he didn't come back until summoned. His answer was always the same. Flnnlly Miss Morton became thoroughly aroused, and asked him if there wasn't some way that the order could be com plied with. The old dnrky moved over to her with an air of secrecy, and in the greatest confidence said: "You sec, missus, we've run out of ice to-night on account of you theatrical people. Der's only one piece left, and de man in de next room has that. Jest as soon as he goes to sleep I'll get hl piece for you." Whereupon the thirsty opera star col lapsed and said she'd have her water without frappe. "Tit Said. That "77" will Cure a cold in one day.
