HER LIFE IS IN DANGER,
Another Appenl to the People of America
Id Behair of Mine Ellen
M. Stone.
Boston, Oct. 12.—The misunder
standing existing in various parts oi
the country, indicated especially in
private advices received here, as to
the progress of the fund to ransom
Aliss Stone, the missionary, is consid
ered to be sufficient reason for the
issuance of another appeal for funds
by the clergymen who signed the
first one. The idea is to impress upon
the people of America the danger
which still threatens Miss Stone.
The second appeal follows:
“Boston, Oct. 12, 1901.
“To the People of America:—The
promptings of our hearts compel us to
issue a second urgent appeal to the
people of America to come to
the rescue of Miss Ellen M.
Stone, the American missionary now
held captive by brigands in the
Balkan mountains for a ransom oi
$110,000. Nearly one-half that sum is
yet to be raised.
“Private advices received yesterday
were to the effect that it was abso
lutely necessary to raise the full
amount at once. The story of a 30
days’ respite is absolutely discredited
in the best-informed circles.
“To-day’s information from Wash
ington is that the outlook is far from
being so reassuring as was hoped yes
terday. «
“The public should not be deceived
by the idea that the American board,
as such, will pay any of the ransom.
It has officially declared that it could
not, although its members have unan
imously expressed sympathy with the
movement.
“Will not pastors, tender-hearted
women, patriotic men and representa
tives of commercial and financial
activity everywhere; will not every
one aid by giving and soliciting until
the entire fund is in hand.
“A life is at stake, the life of a
Christian, a missionary, a patriot and
a noble American.
“All contributions should be sent
direct to Kidder, Peabody & Co., 115
Devonshire street, Boston, or Baring,
Magoun & Co., 15 Wall street, New
York.
“All money contributed will be re
turned to the donors in case its use
is not necessary or in the event of its
being hereafter returned by or
through the United States govern
ment.

TERIvEY RESPONSIBLE.
An EneliNh Opinion as to What
President Roosevelt Will Do.
London, Oct. 11.—After detailing
the history of the abduction of Miss
Stone, the Spectator remarks:
“President Roosevelt and the Wash
ington cabinet maintain, justly, that
the sultan is responsible, as it is his
misgovernment which provokes and
protects brigandage, and they intend
to demand reparation from the porte.
It will not be limited, we imagine, to
£25,000. The porte will be required
to punish the authors of the outrage;
and as Turkey is sure to shuffle and
America is tired of being played with,
a naval demonstration is quite on the
cards. The sultan will, of course,
yield to the first show of force.”
WEST VIRGINIA MINE HORROR
A Blast Set Eire to the Mine, Which
is Bnrninjs Fiercely—\ umber
of Lives Lost.
Columbus, O., Oct. 12.—A special to
the Dispatch from Pairmont, W. Va.,
?• ys:
At the New England mines, one mile
south of here, at 5 a. in., an Italian
miner set off a blast that set fire to
the mine. The whole head where the
blast took place is on fire, burning
fiercely, and it is not krown how
many men are back of it at this hour,
3 p. m. The man who set off the
blast is probably dead, as four mates,
further back than he, were killed. The
[nan's body has not been found.
Several lives arc probably lost. W.
B. Brooks, superintendent of the
mines, headed the first rescuing party
it ten o’clock, and was overcome by
gas when brought out. His condition
is serious, but he will probably re
cover. Gen. Lee L. Malone headed
another rescue party at 2 p. m., and at
three o'clock nothing has been heard
from them. There were about 25 men
in the mine at the time of the explo
sion, but it is not Known how many
are in the seat of danger, but as many
us were are probably dead.
Probably Twenty-five LokI.
Wheeling, W. Va., Oct. 12.—By an
explosion in the New England, near
Fairmont, it is believed the loss of
life may be 25. The explosion oc
curred at 5 a. m., in a head in which
25 or 30 miners were working.

"that I do not care to moet people who deal

Naturally this proud eastern aristocrat
thought she had him properly put down,
but she was in error.
“You may tell her,” he said by way of
reply, “that whatever I put on the market
is at least dressed.”

said the man with the white spot on his
mustache, “if they knew how hard it is
to get it.
“My wife knows how hard it is,” said
the man with the loud necktie, lighting a
cigar, "for whenever we get hard up she's
the one that always has to go to her rich
uncle to borrow some.”—Chicago Tribune.
