TRAGEDY IN A FLOODED MINE
BERLIN, Mar. 3. Fifteen miners were killed and five seriously injured in an accident which occurred yesterday in the underground workings of the Preussen Pit, near Kat
towitz, in Silesia.
The calamity is intensifed by the fact that the falling-in of the pit walls had thrown the pumping machinory entirely out of order, and many-deeds of bravery
were done by the miners in saving their comrades before the slowly rising water overwhelmed them, In one case all human. power was unavailing, and terrible tragedy was enacted in the bowels of the earth which the witnesses will remember to their dying day.
A miner named Grabovsky was found.

GERMANS AND KING
EDWARD,
A Prince of Peace.'
e eighty-seventh anniversary dinner
of the German Society of Benevolence was held on March 25 at De Keyser's Royal Hotel, Victoria-embankment, when two hundred ladies and gentlemen sat down under the presidency of Count Bernstorff (Councillor and First Secretary to the German Embassy).
The President, in proposing the toast of The King,' said Following an ancient custom, Germans living abroad never fail, Fat their festal gatherings, to give the first honours to the Sovereign of the country whose hospitality they are gratefully en• joying. We do this to-night with an especial sense of gratitude. It is in no spirit of convention, but with heartfelt sincerity, that we pay homage to the wise ruler of this powerful Empire, who has not only shown at all times a graceful in; terest in the offorts of our Benevolent Society, but who has won with his own people, as with all the nations of the world, the name of a Prince of Ponce. King Edward is incessantly endeavouring to bring uations more closely together and to clear away misunderstandings between them. None are batter able to appreciate thla conciliatory activity on the part of his Majesty than the Germans who make their residence in his country, and who live here a happy and contented life.
All of you are often in a position to lend your support to the endeavours of his 'Majesty. You have a more intimate knowledge than others of those mysterious forces in botli ratione which we call the soul of a people. In spite of all modern facilities for intercourse, the personality of a cultivated nation appears to another more and more impenetrable as it advances in development and individuality. It is, there- fore, the duty of all of us to work together to the end that nations may learn to understand one another, and that they may
not arrive at a situation which rocalls the old tale in which the fox and the stork wanted to dine together, when the fox could not eat out of the bottle and the stork could not eat from the plate. Icon- clude with an expression of the hope that his Majesty niny have a long and peaceful reign (applause).
The President, in proposing the toast of His Majesty the German Emperor, re- marked that the Monarchy was the firet authority in Gormany. The Emperora made the history of their country, and the Monarchy of to-day was as supreme as ever, Nothing could abste the love of the Gorman people for their Emperor (applause).
WHEN SUFFERING from a cold and
you fear an attack of pneumonia, secure a bottle of Chamberlain's Coughi Remedy and use it judiciously. There is no danger from this disease when this re- medy is used. It always cures and cures quickly. For sale by All Deslors; WAT- KINS & Co., Ltd., General Agents.

Prince Ferdinand's Hopes,
The announcement from Odessa that Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria intends to proclaim himself an independent King on his next jubilee, by which en only be meant the end of the second decade of his reign, on June 20, 1907, belongs to the class of predictions which it is as easy to make as to deny. In a Vienna telegram in The Standard of March 8, it was distinctly said that Prince Ferdinand wants his State to be raised to the rank of a kingdom, and to be enlarged by as large a slice of Macedonia as circumstances will allow. It was added that his recent tour had principally for its object to prepare for
such a realisation of his ambitions. This admits of no doubt; even in Bulgaria, there may be a slip between cup and lip.

Mr P. N. H. Jones, as acting Director of Public Works, reported for 1904 as follows:-
The year opened with the intermittent supply in force, recourse having been had to it on the 21st December, 1903. Tho quantity of water in the storage reservoirs, which on the 1st January amounted to 269 million gallons, dropped to 62) million on 5th May, and from thence to the 28th June the storage of water rose and fell fre- quently until the 4th of July.
The rainy season was exceptionally late and in consequence overy ensure possible was taken to maintain the supply, such as some temporary pumping machinery below. the Albany Reservoir ceased overflowing to collect the leakage therefrom.
Wongneichung Reservior ceased overflow ing on October 3; Pokfulam on October 18, Bye-wash on October 20, and Tytam on December 2nd. The lateness of the last named was due to the drawing off the water from the smaller reservoirs first and reser-

KIDNEY POISONS ROB THE SUFFERER" OF HEALTH, HAPPINESS, AND LIFE
THE kidneys are the most important Torgons of the body, because they filter the blood. When they are well, they drive all liquid polaons and waste out of the body. But when they are siek, the whole body is sick, because of the poisons left in the system.
Dizziness, psins in the back, neuralgia, rheumatism, tired feeling, dropsy (swelling of the limbs), diabetes, bad blood, inflam- mation of the bladder, sleeplessness ner- vousness, headache, etc., come from the blood's impurities which the kidnes should break mouth cord alth can only bó obtain when these very important organs are well. The blood must be fresh, clean and pure, with not a taint of poison in it.
Doan's backacho kidney pills heal the kidneys and hep them to work naturally and to remove absolutely all disenso-breed- ing impurities. They cure diseases by cur ing the kidueys. This kidney medicine will save you from Bright's disasso, dropsy, and diabetes-will bring you back to good health.

The period of inter- mittent supply was 185 days, as compared with 137 days during 1903. At the close of the year the contents of storage reservoir amounted to 341 millions. The total quan. tity of water supplied during the year was 1,267,362,000 gallons filtered and 22,429,000 gallons pfiltered, making grand total 1,289,791,000 gallons or 21,186,000 gallons less than in 1903. This decrease is due to the intermittent supply being kept on for a longer period than is usual, The average consumption of filtered water per day during constant supply was 4,390,000 gallons, which with an estimated population of 224,100 gives an average daily consumption of 19 G gallons per head
