INFERNO GIVES UP ITS MANY BODIES Were a Hundred Victims of the Great Mexican Coal Mine Disaster.

NO AMERICANS MET DEATH WITHOUT EXCEPTION ALL OF THE VICTIMS OF THE TRAGEDY WERE MEXICANS AND JAPANESEFUNERALS HELD. Laredo, Texas, Feb. 4. Word reaching this city yesterday from Las Esperanzas, Mexico, the scene of Wednesday's mine disaster, indicates that the loss of life was practically as chronicled In first reports. The rescuers have thoroughly explored all the Morkings of the mine situated in the No. 3 level and brought out all of the bodies of the victims. One hundred and one persons in all lost their lives as a result of the explosion. While there may be one or two deaths among those who are now in the hospitals the officials are hopeful all will pull through safely. Excepting Japanese, not a foreigner lost his life, all being Japanese or Mexicans. Many Previous Disasters. The coal mining district embraced within an area of 40 miles of the vicinity of Las Esperanzas, is the largest in Mexico, and contains many villages where coal is mined on a small scale. The district furnishes a large portion of the coal used by the Mexican International Railway, as well as supplying many industrial plants. Many mine disasters have occurred in the past in the district, the latest, prior to yesterday's catastrophe, happening two years ago In the Barrateran field, when an explosion occurred in the mine there which is operated by the same company which controls the Paula Property. In the explosion at the Barroteran mines 480 lives were sacrificed. The natives are superstitious and dislike to work where death has previously reaped a large harvest. To overcome a shortage in workers, large numbers of Japanese miners have been imported. Burying the Victims. Thursday was a sad day in the little town of Las Esperanzas. The day was devoted to the holding of funerals of the deceased miners, and the capacity of the local undertakers was taxed to the limit. The local authorities have made a thorough investigation and reported to the Governor. While no official report has been given out the investigation is said to have demonstrated that the explosion was caused by a spark from a miner's cigarette. E-ery effort has been put forth by the company to aid the indigent members of the families of those killed, the mining companies in many instances providing coffins in which the victims were buried. WATSON RETORTS TO A CRITICISM Of HIS ACTIONS (Continued From Page One.) tention of injuring Beveridge. I stated, not once, but twice, that I was not fighting him in defending this timehonored policy of our party; that the senator had seen fit to vote against the bill, but that, if explanation of that vote were needed, he was amply able to take care of himself; and that I had no quarrel with him on that or any other proposition. "I agree with the Star, I do not agree with the Palladium. I do not believe that during the coming campaign every time a man explains or defends the tariff bill, he will be engaged in the enterprise of trying to 'smash Beveridge'; and as a republican I shall deem it my duty to explain the provisions of this bill whenever I make a republican speech, just as for a dozen of years, in common with Senator Beveridge, I upheld the Dingley tariff, for personally I have an unwavering conviction that NEW TUBERCULOSIS CURE BASED ON MEDICINE it ever occur to you that the reason medical doctors have so little success tn curing Tuberculosis, Is because they really da not practice medicine' To say that a specific exists for the cure of Consumption Is perhaps too strong a statement, but in Eckman's Alterative, we have a tnedieine that baa been the meaps of saving? many a life to years of usefulness and in permanently curinsr a large number of Consumptives.

Everybody is about the same, but certain elements and organs of blood and nerves are deficient and until this is corrected, thin people will stay thin.

The soldier who fought through the civil war as the personal substitute of Abraham Lincoln may have a statue erected in commemoration of his services. Few people know that President Lincoln sent a substitute to the front during the civil war but his name will be engraved in the niche of fame if the bill providing for a statue in his honor becomes a law. A bill appropriating $120,000 for the purpose was presented in the house by Representative Palmer (democrat) of Pennsylvania. The name of this hitherto almost unknown hero is J. Summerfield Staples, of Stroudsburg, Pa. He died there some ten years ago, and it is at Stroudsburg that it is now proposed to erect the statue. In the burial ground at Stroudsburg a small tablet today marks the resting place of Staples, bearing on its face the simple inscription: "Here lies the body of J. Summerfield Staples, representative recruit of Abraham Lincoln." In 1863, when the fortunes of the federal government were at their lowest ebb, it was decided by President Lincoln and his cabinet that they should send personal substitutes to the front as an example to the country. The young Pennsylvanian, who was then 18 years old, was selected as the president's substitute. He enlisted in the Second District of Columbia Volunteers and served until the close of the war. No particular record of valor or heroic service is recorded in favor of Lincoln's substitute, but the records show that Staples served throughout the war with honor to himself and his countryIt Looked Inviting.

LOST PICTURE IS AID TOJ WIDOW Painting Is Sold for $5,000 for the National Art Gallery, Recently.

FOR MRS. HOMER MARTIN WIDOW OF FAMOUS ARTIST WILL GET ALL OF THE MONEY, BUT SHE HAS NOT YET HEARD OF GOOD FORTUNE. New York, Feb. 4. Mrs. Homer D. Martin, widow of the famous American landscape painter, is soon to receive $r,00o the proceeds of the sale of one of her husband's most noted works, depicting a scene at Port Henry, on Lake Champlain. This canvas was discovered a few weeks ago in an unused room at the Knoedler galleries. Mrs. Martin, who has reached the age of seventy-one and is" now living with one of her sons at Ocean Park, Cal., knows nothing yet of the good fortune that has come to cheer her declining years. Many of her old friends did not even know where she was until the discovery of the painting. Some weeks ago, Mr. Knoedler came across a beautiful painting, :jOx. inches, in a little unused room. He could not recall the history of it, so he invited Edward Gay, the artist, to see it. "It's a Homer Martin," said Mr. Gay at once. Tracing Its History. Then some discussion arouse as to what scene it showed, several contending that it was a Hudson river study, but Mr. Gay was certain that Port Henry, Lake Champlain, was the subject He and Mr. Martin had been good friends, and early in the seventies the artist had told him of a projected picture on Lake Champlain, describing in detail the chief features of it. These Mr. Gay at once recognized in the painting at Knoedler's. Mr. Knoedler then asked Mr. Gay to find Mr. Martin's widow, as he would like to divide with her what the painting brought. But it turned out to be no easy task to find Mrs. Martin. She was known to have been born in Albany, the birthplace also of her husband. They had spent much of their married life in this city, but in 1803 had gone to St Paul, Minn., where four years later he had died. Hard to Find Mrs. Martin. Little had been heard from her in recent years and only after diligent inquiry did Mr. Gay succeed in obtaining her address. That was about three weeks ago, and she promptly replied to his letter. Several letters passed, and Mr. Gay gathered from these that whatever money was coming from the picture's sale would mean much to her comfort, and he so told Mr. Knoedler.' "In that event," replied Mr. Knoedler, "she shall have all the picture brings." When it was offered William T. Evans, the collector, who has eagerly bought Homer Martins for some years, gave $5,000 for it. expressing his purpose to add it to the national collection in Washington. The money will be forwarded to Mrs. Martin in a few days. The "Port Henry" or "Iron Mine" canvas is well preserved, and Mr. Gay says it represents Homer Martin's best work. It must have been painted, Mr. Gay said, either in 1S73 or 1874. Mrs. Austin's famous pancakes make a hearty, wholesome breakfast. Fresh supply now at your gi'ocer's.

oraiiEidD 2 lm 51 SZA1D COXES EST SUSAR FC3TIA JD CCF1TE V OROOCKS EVERYWHERE! At Local Theaters "The Mystery Girl." Miss Ethel May "The Mystery Girl" who comes to the Gennett theater for one week starting next Monday matinee, with the Alien Stock company has the reputation of being the most puzzling and interesting of any one ever before the public. The fact that her work puzzles the most reputed scientists of the age, arouses discussion where ever she appears adding to the interest of the press and public alike. Her wish is to give a bright entertaining performance and to help those who will give her the chance to do so, and this she undoubtedly does. She keeps the audience spellbound with the mystery of her work. Wherever she has appeared all unite in saying that she is a pretty, dainty, clever entertainer. Miss May and the Allen Stock company present a complete line of popular royalty plays changing at each performance. Flint. Dr. Herbert L. Flint placed a man under the hypnotic spell last night and started him on a sleep to last 24 hours. The subject was taken to the Empire cigar store and there placed in the window to remain until time for the performance tonight, when he will be carried back to the Gennett and there awakened. The doctor is each night showing new evidences of his great power and each performance is a scream from beginning to end. "Gentleman From Miss." One of the coming attractions at the Gennett theater is "The Gentleman from Mississippi," which created a great hit on the occasion of its first presentation in New York last summer. Burr Mcintosh who will be seen in the title role is appearing this season for the first time for several years, he having left the stage a few years ago to devote more of his time to the publication of the magazine which bears his name, and which given over to the artistic display of photography. Fluffy Ruffles. Florence Gear will soon be seen at the Gennett theater in Fluffy Ruffles, one of the brightest little musical comedies seen for a long time and one which gives this charming little comedienne many chances to sing her way into the hearts of Richmond theatergoers. At the Murray. The interest that the patrons of the Murray theater show for each act on the bill this week proves that the whole program is good. Mack and Scheftells in their clever singing, McCauley and Connell in their fine work as the eccentric black face comedians, Dainty June Roberts and Co. in their delightful comedy sketch "The Doll Maker's Dream," excellently performed, Willie Hale and Brother, the man with the globe and the Juggling boy, in an act of comedy, dexterity and music and the motion pictures give one a little idea of the good things on the bill at the Murray theater this eek. At the Coliseum. Kid Brown, who is to meet Tommy Dillon at the Coliseum on Feb. 9, has been following the game for the last five years and has to meet defeat, in the time he has been in the ring he has participated in nearly 200 battles and this is considered a fine record for a boy that has faced some of the best boxers in the middlewest. There are two other boxing bouts beside the wrestling match scheduled for the big tournament at the Coliseum next Tuesday night. Kid Sims will meet Willie M'Gee at 126 pounds for four rounds, Tommy Moore will try Young Benton for four rounds at 120 and Olson in a catch-as-catchcan style will be opposed by the Buffalo Giant. George Putman. These four events are sure to please all as the individuals who participate have made a good showing in their respective classes that every contest will be exciting and full of ginger.

NEED OE EXERCISE

Felt by the Lawmakers and a Gymnasium Is Now Contemplated. A LEGAL TANGLE RESULTS Washington, Feb. 4. The housa of representatives is to have a gymnasium. The members have already begun to feel the effects of the great mental strain under which they are laboring and are alive to the necessity of keeping themselves in good physical condition. They anticipate that most of them may have a pretty strenuous time next summer when their campaigns for renomination and re-slection are on. and they don't want to become run down while serviug their constituents in congress. They would like to have the government make an appropriation for the expense of equipping a legislative "gym," but those members who have the project in charge have searched the statues in vain for a law that would give them authority to purchase the necessary apparatus with government funds. To Be in "Condition." But they are determined that they will bo in good shape for the coming campaign no matter what it costs, and today Representative Swager Sherley. of Kentucky, was commissioned by the promoters of the gymnasium to solicit subscriptions of $t each from all members who wanted to join. No place could be found in the capitol building in which the apparatus could be set up and the members appealed to Speaker Cannou, who, notwithstanding that he has had many verbal scraps with various members, was generous enough to give the "boys" a room in the house office building. They have invited "Uncle Joe" and the other members of the committee on rules who have charge of the house building, to become life members of the "Legislative Gymnasium Association," and he has promised to attend the opening. The subscription list submitted to the members today found ready response, and among the first to subscribe was Chairman Sereno rayne, of the committee on ways and Means. The Chinaman's Dress. Those who understand the subject hare to admit that when it comes to the question of rational dress the Chinaman has very much the best of it. American clothes are not made for the performance of much stooping or domestic gymnastics, but the Chinaman in his loose, easy fitting clothes is as free to stoop, jump, run or turn handsprings as a small boy in bathing.
