I HAS PREMONITION OF SON'S; DEATH. ijtmirifi IU>NiAurnni Willi >IimI Half Flniithi'il, but Hoy Kxpirw llefore Hp Arrive*. Max Senius. an elderly hook- , keeper, living at No. N7 Lexington avenue, according th The New York Ajnerlcaii wuh eating luncheon yesterday In a Third avenue rent a u rani, when the aatonished waiter saw him auddeuly drop his napkin, get up and hurry away, leaving Ilia meal half finished . Mr. Senius had had a sudden premonition of trouble in his homo, i and he hastened thither. He found an ambulance at the door, and a: surgeon was just leaving the house, after working in vain to save the life of Mr. Senius' son, Kmil, who had been found unconscious from gas poisoning. A maid employed in the house' smelled gas, and called Joseph Michael and two other men, who broke In the door of the young j man ? IUUIII. ril* was UIH'OnSl'IOUS. Then- was a gas tube at bis lips, and when Dr. Jackson arrived from Bellevuo it was too late to save him. The father, in tears, said that his son had been in ill liealtn for several months aud very despondent. He had also had gambling losses, and the father had bought him a billiard table recently to try to amuse him. A note found in the room, evidently left by the young man fori his father, read. "Siegel refused me a dollar on your advice." Siegel is said to be a orother-in-law of Kmil MA KIND l?.\l (.HTKItS Kl.hdHIJv Views of An Ainericun Woman on How to Train Young (iiris for Matrimony. How should a mother train her her daughters to appear desirable in the eyes of marrying men? What should she make them? Should she keep them at home or let them go out into business? A well known American woman has given her views on this topic, says the London Miror. and has explained exactly the right way, in i her opinion, to train girls so that every man who meets them will want to lead theui to the altar or to the register's office forthwith. "First, the girls must have 110 j "trum; u i iiuiutir, Bre saj'S. "A girl who has a sense of humor does not take men seriously? and men cannot forgive any girl, however lovely and accomplished sh? may l>e, who laughs at them. "On the other hand, the girl who treats each man as if he were the 1 wisest thing in the world is j straightway adored and regarded as j a woman of infinite good sense and lofty character, quite fitted to he that man's lifelong mate. "The girl vho is tall and strong must never behave in the pretty, kittish manner that is so charming in the slight girl. "The slight girl, on the other hand, should be carefully trained by her mother to be playful and mercurial, for while it is incongruous for a big athletic girl to have pretty ways, it is equally so for the Jtttle girl to attempt the stntues/ - -.v . pleasure 1 A, "SJfc? is iu business or . , ... -..more chance dale while the music wjt? blng motors lulls to sleep t. of ^are and trouble. That motoring i?- out into fie luxurv t- * " in her workinK ' they get so used to hu\have ft about. and they get so Is shot with her that the idea of cent,vaJ'8 having her there makes ? .a compete for her hand with aie object of keeping her with one of them always. "Such girls can talk to their, husbands on business, and talk intelligently. and most successful men' want to talk over hllsine?i^ iimlriips i with their wives. "For that reason typists and confidential secretaries have excellent 1 chances of marrying the men who have come to the top. and that is just what good mothers want. "How can a mother marry off a j girl who has no brains? Train her to be fond of sport, and make her a! monomaniac 011 sport. Then she. c' mix with leisured men whose lives are bound up in sport, 19lo,y wjj] think her such a jol* ^ cent. vsort that thev will want to rlw- will know that she will j not be bored when they talk ol' how ! they did the last round in so-in-so, I and that she wift-quite enjoy hoar-i ing what a fine run her husband had with the hounds, and how he \ led the field. "Send such a daughter out to teach her to sing the lightest of play all the games she can, and light music in the evening, so that she may keep the man just sufficiently awake after their day to be interested in her 'n the evening as well as in the oyen air. "And last of all, every girl should j be taught that, however keen she I is to please her mother by getting; married, she must never appear to! be so. She must never seem to l>c husband hunting." 0 (XWVKT8 TKAPPKD IN MINK. K\ plosion Kntombs 11M and AH Are Believed I>?*ud. Woixt in History of Littleton, Ala., April 8.?One hundred and eighteen men nre tonight entombed in the Banner mine and but three bodies have been brought to the surface, following a terrible explosion early this morning. The fatal after-damp, which followed the explosion, has so far kept the rescuers from penetrating the mine, although they have been far enough in the interior to see a gruesome pile of human bodies huddled together near the shaft. It is estimated that about 20 men are in the pile. Officials of the Pratt Consolidated Coal Company, who own the mine, have practically abandoned hope of bringing out any of those below the surface alive. This afternoon they could be heard knocking on the pipes below, but thlere is an ominous stillness to-night, which indicates that the suffocating after-damp has done its deadly work.

Little Negro Girl Makes a Stsis-tling Admission?One Dead. Darlington, April X. ? Special: Coroner J. H.

Simon Jeffrey and his family were i taken violently ill and his wife jdicd, and at the inquest Fannie } Cooper, wlio lived with the family, [ testified that she put some rough on rats in the coffee; that she put ,it in there because she knew it was lioison and wanted to kill her aunt. I She said her reason for wanting to ! do her aunt harm was because, while all the other members of the household were permitted to sit at the table and take their meals, she was required to sit on the floor i while eating. She said, too, that a few days before that her aunt had ! ordered her to catch a black chickj en that she intended to kill for dinner, and that she ran and ran the ! little chicken but failed to catch it as it flew off into the woods, i ml that because she failed to catch the chicken her aunt gave "a most terrible fllogging." Several members of the family have been, and are now, suffering agony from the poison and it is said that Cooper himself is still quite ill. The girl is under surveilunee while the matter is being taken up with Judge Shipp. All the parties are colored. 0 4 VKAKS IN COLLEGE. #405,417. This is th?' Stun That (ieurge Myers Church .Must Use to Get an Education. News comes from San Bernandino, Cul., that $405,417.58 are to be set aside for the college education of young George Myers Church, grandson of the late Geo. S. Meyers, who died at St. Louis, leaving a grtv* many milllions. Sixteen-year-cld Mr. Church lives in Tenafly, N. J., with his mother, who is now Mrs. Coppell. Everyday he comes into school to this city, but he has not formed any definite Ideas as to what he will do with the money in question or to what collego he will go. Perhaps the magnitude of the sum appalls him. At any rate, if he appropriates his income after the manner of the :?verarro enllleire youth he will have a formidable taBk before him. It would be puzzling to decide how many bulldogs, "frat" pins, banios, tennis raquets, golf sticks. | ponies, autos and fancy waistcoats ; he could sport on his $100,000 a I year. There is $417.58 which stands out so lonely at the end of the $405,000, which would pay for tuition. books and board for one year, and the iuterest on the larger sum would afford generous support for the remaining three years and still have the principal intact. What can the poor boy do? He i can buy an auto for $10,000, pa> $10,000 for a bulldog, pay $10,000 la year for clothes, $5,000 for his rooms and $5,000 for his incidentals land then he will have $6,000 a year {left. Young Mr. Church's schedule, when he comes to make it out, will | be interesting. I LAMAR RANK FAILS TO OPK.V. i Cause I nknimn ami No Statement Oivcn Out. Darlington, April 8. ?The Dunk | of Lamar, at Lamar, Darlington j county, failed to open its doors for business this morning. Dr. Jas. A. uoio is me president, and Mr. W. W. Davis was the cashier, until a few days ago when he resigned. No statement has been given out i as to the condition of the bank, and ? I-I !? ! LJ ? it Is not known at thiB time how its affairs reached the point that made it necessary to close Its doors. Quite a large crown of depositors hung around it for a while this morning, hut there was nothing doing. The State bank examiner visited the bank a few days ago, but it is not given out whether or not he is responsible for the closing of the doors.

April 9.?Special: Tin doors of the Hank of Lamar wert closed Saturday, because of thi illness of the president and th? sudden resignation of the cashier A notice to that effect was posted 011 the door . No crowd was hanging around the bank, the statement to that ef feet published in The Sunday New: to-day from Darlington being erron eous. The directors of the hank in i statement, say that the institutior is perfectly solvent and would hav? been open for business on Saturdaj ??ut ror tne unavoidable ctrcumsuin 1 cee related above.

It is five hundred and sevent; years Saturday since I'etrarch wa crowned upon the Capitol at Rome The eu>wn was not of gold and dia mentis, but of laurel, and the mat upon whose brow it rested was fchi greatest of all kings?the King o ! Thought. The man upon whosi head the grace and reverend Sena tors placed that laurel wreath own 1 ed 110 palaces or royal robes, n< subjects bowed down to him it j humble obedience, 110 boast of her 1 aldry or pomp of power attendet upon his steps; but in real import lance no monarch was for a momen to be compared with him. for In was the inaugurator of a new do 1 minion, more enduring than that c the Caesars?the eternal empire o 1 mind, the everlasting dynasty o truth. They were crowning the father o the literary revivals, the man win had revived the arts and science; in a barren age, and by his geniu opened a new stadium for the hu man intellect. In the words of Taine, "After tin terrible night of the Middle Ages and the dolorous legends of spirit land the damned, it was a deligli to see OlvmmiK sliininc unon u from Greece, its heroic and beauti ful duties once more ravishing tin I heart of man. They raised and in Istructed this young world by speak ing to it the language of passioi and genius: and this age of tsronj deeds and bohl invention had onl; to follow its own bent in order t< discover in them its masters and tin eternal promoters of liberty am beauty." Among the promoters of the lit ierary dawn Francesco 1'etrarcl holds the first place. It was througl his instrumentality that the intell lectual giants of Greece and Home : long silent, in the medieval gloom were brought to life, as it were I and made to repeat their grea thoughts to the world that hat forgotten them. Petrarch it was who collected th< j first libraries and did the pioneei work in the line of discovering tin i long lost classical manuscripts ? the workings of the immortal met who in Athens and Koine createt 'art and science, philosophy and elo ! quence, politics and jurisprudence thus making possible a rebirth o civilization and ulll the wonderfu I hiugs that were to go along with it In a word, the man who wai crowned by the Senators on th< ; Capitol on that Easter day of tin year 134 1 was the First of th< ! Moderns, the herald of the morn j ing of the day of modern though i and achievement. The creator no ;only of modern literature, but o the idea that literature should b< ' made hft snstrument of self-eulturi ; and the promotion of man's domin ! ion over the earth.
