The simple announcement that a young man graduated from Yale or Harvard Implies that he has had the opportunity to secure the best education that any Institution can give. What the diploma of these Institutions Is to the young man who has taken the classical or professional course, the diplomas issued by the Seranton Business College are to the young men and women who graduate from Its stenographic or general business courses. In other words, the Btanding of the Seranton Business College is as high In the business world as Yale and Harvard In the line of general education. "Thoroughness and efficiency" are the slogans of the S. B. C. and the fact that not one of the hundreds of graduates are looking for a position is pretty good evidence that these words mean something there.

Men who know the Harwlck mine say that gas In dangerous quantity has bwn in It ever since it was opened, and this fact was recogniaed by the men having charge of it. They say that probably a careless miner exposed a naked flame to the gas and that the flame may have been from a lamp or a match. Miners are not allowed to carry matches Into the workings, but they cannot be prevented doing so unless a personal search Is made each morning before the men enter the mine, and this is not customary. London, Jan. 27. — Dispatches from both Tokyo and Peking agree that, as a result of China's efforts to obtain mediation, France has agreed to use her good offices, in conjunction with Great Britain and the United States, to arrange a modus vlvendi between Russia and Japan. Further, the French minister at Peking has intimated to Prince Chlng hi* belief that If such mediation were successful the three powers In question could assist China in coming to an equitable agreement with Russia regarding Manchuria. Both the British and American ministers at Peking are agreed, however, according to the dispatchcs from Peking, that such mediation is impossible, as neither of the powers concerned had invited mediation publicly, and the ministers have informed Prince Ching of their decision.Talk of Mediation.

Again ana again efforts were made to reach the living men of the rescue party at the bottom of the shaft, but the wooden sides of the hoist, swollen by the water, stuck to the iron guide slide, and then came hours of maneuvering to reach the bottom. The men below bad no means of warmth, and many of them were standing in deep water. Every effort was made to lower the cage, and finally it was loosened and got within twelve feet of the bottom. A timber blown across the way by the explosion was in the path.
