Sprrounding Country Shook Like an
Earthquake From Force of Ex-
ploaion — Eighteen Colored Men
Among the Entombed.
Blueflelds, W. Va., Jan. C.—Twenty-
one miners in the Coaldale Company’s
shaft at Coaldale. W. Va.. were prob-
ably instantly killed by an explosion
that took place there. Three white
men and eighteen colored men were
entombed, and no hope is held out
that any of them escaped death. The
explosion was of terrific force and
caused intense excitement throughout
the surrounding country, many people
believing an earthquake had occur-
red. The mining cars and most of
the property used in the mines are
supposed lo have been blown to
pieces.
One men «u brought out He was
H. C. Conrad, and his body waa llt-i
erally torn to piece*. His clothing
was banging In shreds.
Up to a late hour no other bodies
had been recovered. There was much
smoke and gas in the entries and not-
withstanding the fact that the big
fans were in good order and were
working witb full capacity, the gas
and smoke were not being driven out
very fast.
The Coaldale shaft Is owned and
operated by the Cooper Brothers, who
are also owners of the Mill Creek
and McDowell Coal and Coke Com-
panies. The Coaldale plant is con-
sidered one of the best operations
in the field. Ed Cooper is on the
ground supervising the rescue work.
Give Bond to Obey Law.
San Antonio, Tex., Jan. 6.—In the
federal court the lottery case, grow-
ing out of many arrests made last
summer in several states, were dis-
posed of by the defendants pleading
guilty to the charge of shipping lot-
tery tickets from one state to anoth-
er. They were fined and each defend-
ant gave a *1,500 bond not to engage
in the lottery business again.
Morocco Gets Date.
Paris, Jan. 5.—The government ot
Morocco has agreed on January 10
as the date for holding an interna-
tional conference on Morrocan af-
fairs at Algeirras. Spain.
IF GERMANY OBJECTS WAR
MAY COME OVER MOROCCO
London, Jan. G.—"So long as Ger-
many confines her demands at the
conference to opening Morocco to
foreign trade on an equal basis, there
will be no difference of opinion at
Algeciras,” said an official of the
foreign office to the Associated Press.
"There is some fear that the Ger-
man delegates may insist on regu-
lations clashing with what France
considers her special privileges, for
instance, the policing of the frontier.
In fact. It Is said in trustworthy cir-
cles. that Germanv may introduce a
claim to placing German soldiers In
Morocco. This France is certain to
resist, and under the agreement Great
Britain must uphold her contention.
Otherwise there is no danger of a
disagreement, but it is impossible to
say what might happen as Germany
is maintaining the strictest secrecy
regarding'her Intentions. The ap-
pointment of Count Von Tattenbach-
Ashoid, the former special representa-
tive of Germany at Fez, as the sec-
ond delegate of Germany at the con-
ference. has perhaps weakened this
feeling of confidence, as he is under-
stood to be opposed to France’s pol-
icy in Morocco.”
While the officials here decline to
comment on the cabled announcement
that the United States stands uncom-
mitted on the question of policing the
Moroccoan frontier, some disappoint-
ment is expressed in other circles be-
cause it had been expected that the
United States would endorse the po-
sition of France on this point.
Rome.—The government appointed
Senor Marquis Viscount Venosta.
former minister of foreign affairs, as
the first Italian delegate to the Mo-
roccoan conference, at the same time
withdrawing the nomination of Sig-
nor Silverstrelli. the ambassador at
Madrid.
The Marquis Venosta is considered
the ablest of Italian diplomatists. It
is interesting to recall that the re-
approachment between France and
Italy, following many years of strain-
ed relations, was chiefly due to his
efforts.
Paris. — A portion of the French
delegation to the Moroccoan confer-
ence will start for Algeciras soon, as
it is now considered settled that the
sessions will open January 10.
MUST REFORM FOOTBALL
IF HARVARD PLAYS GAME
Cambridge. Mass.. Jan. 0.—Prof. H.
S. White, chairman of the Harvard
Athletic committee, made an unoffi-
cial statement regarding Harvard’s at-
titude on football. Prof. White said
that if the action of the football rules
committee is not radical enough Httr-
, vard will go it alone. Harvard is not
opposed to football as a sport, he said,
| but only as it was iilaved during the
; past season. The Harvard commit-
tee will probably take some radical
action within the next two weeks. If
i the game is changed It will be plav-
i ed In Cambridge next fall. If it can-
! not bo changed Harvan^vill not play
Intercollegiate matchesB*
Prof. White said: „
"Football, as it wits played last fall
we are opposed to. 1 cannot speak
; Officially or for the whole comniit-
! tee. but 1 think 1 ant voicing the sen-
timents of the committee when 1
state t hat. We are not opitosed lo
football as a sport. We are only
opposed to the way it was played dur-
: lug the past season. Our committee
will probably take some radical ac-
tion within two weeks, which will
show where Harvard stands as far
as the committee in charge of the
athletics of the university goes.
"If the action of other institutions
is not radical enough, according to
our thinking, we will be forced to
go It alone, no matter what happens.
I do not think this will be necessary
however, for we know by private con-
ferences that -other universities feel
as we do about football.
"The report of injuries sustained
by members of the Harvard football
squad during tho past season appear-
ed Ira the Boston Medical anifc Surgi-
cal Journal. The report was made
by Doctors E. H. Nichols and Homer
B. Smith, who were in charge of the
squad, and Is bpsed on written state-
ments of the players and a clinical
record. Tbe physicians state that
there were 145 injuries serious
enough to keep the players out of the
game for a day or two. No mention
is made of minor injuries."

Between Leaves of an Old Book a,*
Auction Bala in Parla.
At a book sale in m Parla auction
room the other day a gentleman turn-
ing over tbe leaves of one ot the books
saw a time worn piece of paper which
he had the curiosity to open. This
proved to be a will executed in proper
order about ninety years ago, but
never proved. It was that of a wo-
man whose death, as subsequent In-
quiry has shown, took place eighty-
five years ago. As no will could be
found. Intestacy was assumed, and a
personalty of 16,000 pounds was di-
vided among relatives. -In fact, the
will bequeathed everything to a niece,
long since dead, and the question now
arises as to the claims of her des-
cendants against those of the other-
participators.

Just Wonderful.
Vestry, Miss., Jan. 1st (Special)—
The case of Mrs. C. W. Pearson, who
resides here is a particularly inter-
esting one. .Here is the story told by
Mr. Pearson, her husband, in his own
words. He says;—
“My wife’s health was bad for a
long time. Last July she was taken
terrible oad with spasms. I sent for
the doctor, and after making a thor-
ough examination of her, he said un-
doubtedly the cause of her trouble was
a disordered state of tbe Kidneys.
His medicine didn’t seem to be doing
her much good, so as I beard about
Dodd’s Kidney Pills, I got her a box
just to give them a trial. Well the
effect was just wonderful. I saw that
they were the right medicine and 1
got two more boxes. When she had
taken these she was so much better
that she had Increased thirty pounds
in weight. She is now quite well, and
we owe It all to Dodd’s Kidney Pills.”
Many a man’s excellent reputation
is due to the fact that his wife dac3n’r
tell ail she happens to know.

Kitchener’s Two Aunts.
Lord Kitchener’s love affair of his
youth has been discussed in English
papers of late. Now he lavishes his
affection on two old aunts, sisters of
his mother. His happiest days in
England are passed in their company.
It Is to their care that he confided all
the presentations made to him after
his success in Africa, also a splendid
lot of curios he has collected in
various parts of the world.
Great Churches to Mer^n.
The latest consolidation of Protes-
tant Episcopal churches in Manhattan
is likely to be that of All Souis’ and
the Archangel, keeping the title of the
one and the building of the other. . All
Souls’ was the ..nthon Memorial, and
a mission of meager resources when
Rev. R. H. Newton took charge in
18C7; that remarkable orator ami lib-
eral thinker made It a center of great
religious interest, and of so peculiar
a congregation that his successor in
1902 did not succeed in holding it; sr>
that it has run down. There are two
other struggling churches of the 41 e
nomination that expect to get heli^
by the consolidation; and the nt
