PREPARING FOR INQUEST Miners and fompaiy Both Engage Lawyers to Represent Them at the Hearing Hail Secured for the Hearings That Will Accomodate 600 People. Preparations for the investigation was about the only happening of note In connection with the Twin shaft disaster yesterday. The members of the commission made another trip Into the mine yesterday morning and in the afternoon two of them. Inspectors Roderick and Brennan inspected Hit? bore hole at the Clear Spring mine, while the other. Inspector Stein remained at the hotel preparing notes of their observation so far which wll be a part of the report to the governor. The meetings of the commission will be held in St. Aloyslus hull. 77. South Main street which will hold SOO per sons and which was secured by the miners free of charge from the so ciety. Two sessions will be held. The morning session will begin at 10.30 and last till 1 p. in. It has not been dceided yet what the houds of the afternoon session will be. Attorney General McCormlck will be on hand Thursday to direct the work of the commission but cannot be present Fri day as he must attend a meeting of the board of pardons. He will however, re turn on Saturday and will rejiialn with the commissioners until the testimony is all In. The relatives of the victims have secured as their attorneys E. F. McGow an. of Wllkes-Barre and P. A. O Boyle, of Plttston. The company proposes to be represented at the hearings by an attorney now that the miners have taken such a step. Who he will be they have not as yet announced. The in spectors went to their respective homes last night to return Thursday morn ing. THEY REFUSE TO TALK. Inspectors Roderick and Brennan re fuse to give out anything concerning their visit to the Clear Spring or what they think of the abandoned proposi tion of reaching the men by that route. Their silence gives rise to the suspicion that they do not agree with Inspector McDonald that the Clear Spring idea is altogether Impracticable. As a result of Monday's visit to the mine by the commissioners a new plan of reaching the men is to be tried. There Is a manway running parallel to the slope Into the workings where the men are entombed and which on ac count of its being cut through the solid rock Is presumably Intact or at all events not so badly choked as the slope. An effort was made to explore this but after penetrating a short dis tance the exploring party encountered such heavy bodies of gas that they had to turn back. Now It is proposed to clear out the gas from this manway and mukv an at tempt to reach the workings through It. Screens ale being placed over all the openings Into the abundoned workings except this one and the main slope, so that the air which is now going to waste through these openings will be concentrated on the manway and slope. CAN DRIVE OUT THE OAS. If the manway has not been affected to any great extent by the fall the air can be driven through It at a high rate of speed and the gas must necessarily be driven out. The progress by way of the slope la growing slower and more dangerous every day and It la feared that unless some new means are adopted such as suggested above, for the finding of the men the search will soon have to be abandoned altogether. RELIEF COMMITTEE'S APPEAL. Win Be Seut Broadcast by the Execu tive Committee. The following Is the appeal which the relief committee will send broadcast seeking aid for the Twin shaft suffer ers: A horrible calamity has befallen our city. At three o'clock on Sunday morn ing, June 28, a large portion of the mine workings at the Twin shaft were closed by a fall of mine roof, which entombed fifty-eight of our fellow citizens. Our board of trade sent out an immediate appeal, which may not have been re sponded to by yourself or those with whom you have influence, as there was at that time a lingering hope that these men might be rescued from their un timely grave. The last ray of hope has vanished, leaving upon the charity of the world thirty-one widows, one hun dred and one orphans and fifteen other dependent relatives.

As a result we are unable to provide a sufficient fund for the future relief and mainten ance of th( heirless families of the victims of this disaster. It is earnestly hoped and expected that this fund will reach a sufficient amount to not only relieve the present want but provide for future necessities. "We earnestly appeal to you In their behalf, trusting your contributions will be such as your menns will permit and your charity suggest. "The First National bank, the Miners Savings bank and the People's Savings bank of Plttston have been designated as depositories for the fund, and any contributions sent to them or any mem ber of the executive committee will be thankfully and duly acknowledged.

From the San Francisco Post. "Pardon me, sir, but could I occupy Just about a minute of your time? I would like to show you something that I know you will be glad to see." Without waiting for permission the young man with a sallow complexion and a hand satchel thrust a bottle un der the nose of the bald-headed man. "Now, sir," he continued, "you are a public official and the public sees a great deal of you and the public real izes that you are quite bald, sir. I have something here that I will guarantee to restore your hair If you will just per mit me to treat you. It shan't cost you a cent for medicine or treatment, and all I ask is that you will commend my medicine to your friends If I succeed. When they see a luxuriant growth of hair on your head and ask what you used you can tell them McCracken's Peerless Borax Hair Restorer and Scalp Renovator." "Then, you want to use my bald head for advertising purposes. Is that it?" quelled the otticiul. "Well, yes; that's right." "Does It appeur to offer advantages as an advertising medium?" "Well, yes." "Then what will you pay a square Inch to paint your advertisement on my head In letters of any Blze, design or color? Or, If you prefer, you can use It for posters or stickers. What do you puy for good advertising space? "I hardly think" "And say, I have half a dozen bald headed friends, I think I could buy up their space for you if you will give me a commission." "But I want to make the hair" "1 am sure you will get better returns than fence advertising, hand bills or newspapers. I'll guarantee you a cir culation among 2,500 friends, 3,500 more acquaintances, 5,000 speople who know me by sight, and 20,000 strangers every day." "Well, I see I can't do" "I wish you'd think that over and make me an offer. I'm proud of this head," but the young man had gone. STRAY THOUGHTS. It Is pleasant to be called a man even by a small boy. There are undoubtedly those who build better than they know, but, unfor tunately, we cauno get them to build our houses. Many people are Incapable of loving, and there are many other who ought to be. Love has unquestionably accom plished much for good, but up to date it has not changed any leopard's spots. Most men are either .far-sighted or near-sighted. Before marriage they see good qualities that their sweethearts don't possess, and after marriage they don't sue the good qualities that their wives do possess. It requires the effort of your life to forgive the persons whom you have wronged. Even If we cannot give forth rays of sunshine, it Is not necssary for us to go out of the way to cast shadows. Sins are handed down from father to son, but debts go the other way. It makes a difference not only whose ox is gored, but whose ox does the gor ing. A woman never realizes how clumsy a man Is until after she has married hi in. Horace Greeley lived too noon: nowa day when a man can't write his name legibly he buys a rubber stamp. Dont be too Imlmnte with the man who shakes hand with you expecting to And a dollar in his hand when he lets go. It may not be polite to count the change when a friend obliges you by changing a bill, but it Is just as well to do it If you want your cash to balance. Man wants but little here below, but he Isnt willing to pay cash for It. Toe March Century, . . . . , THE BABIES FIRST. Their Diet 'Just Now the Host Vital Question. Those Not Eating Well Are In Danger of Diarrhea. Delicate Bibles Take Luttted Food wltH Z'st tod Appstlte. The tiny heir Just born to the csar of all the Kusslas is not a whit more precious In Its parents' eyes than thou sands of little ones who must some day make their own way in the world. Labj hood the world over has but one proud distinction health. The only rivalry among babies is in who can eat the heartiest, sleep the soundest and grow the most rapidly. Physicians and nurses who have had large experience OWES HIS LIFE TO LACTATE FOOD. In the care of young children In cities as well as In towns emphasize the fact that babies brought up on lactated food escape wasting diseases, cholera infantum and diarrhoe in a most un mistakable manner. Every child, however luckily born, must run the gauntlet of these summer disorders. The fearful Infant mortality during hot weather has compelled med Ical men to make extraordinary efforts to find the reason. It Is today an ab solutely ascertained fact that none of these intestinal disorders can be ex plained by hot weather alone. High temperature simply weakens the Infant digestion, and makes It easy for im proper feeding to bring on cholera In fantum, convulsions and colio. Above . Is a picture of the happy boy of Mrs. Leigh 'Putney, of Appleton, Wis., who wr'tes: "Inclosed you will find a picture of our baby, Truman, who owes his pres ent perfect health, If not his life, to lactated food. "We fed him on milk until he was about five months old. At that time he suffered a severe attack of cholera In fantum. He did not seem to rally from this, but grpw thinner and weaker until he was nearly ten months old. There were days at a time when he could re tain nothing on his stomach, nothing more than a little hot water or arrow root tea, and even a teaspoonful of milk would bring on his bowel trouble. We tried everything In the line of foods that was suggested, but nothing seemed to be right, and he grew so weak and emaciated that It was difficult to dress or handle him. "At last on my own responsibility, I determined to try lactated food. He began at once to Improve. He has never been sick since then, and we can almost see him grow fat. He has just accomplished the feat of cutting eight teeth all at once, and has not been sick or kept us awake a single night." Lactated food has saved the lives of thousands of Infants during the hot, dangerous months of summer. Lactated food is the best diet for June. Cholera Infantum often term inates Inside a few hours, and no house hold with little children In it should feel safe during these summer days and nights unless using lactated food. Lactated food pleases the Infant taste and induces the child to eut heartily. Try it. THE RACES AT THE PARK. Program me Arranged lor Today and Tomorrow.
