A Great Blast.

The San Francisco Bridge Company
recently made large blast with view
of obtaining 90, 900 tons of racks for
constructing a sea wall at San Francis
CO. The quarry is bluff, 90 feet
high, at the waters edge at the mouth
of Visitation Valley. Eleven tunnels
in all have been run and four have been
exploded, 1900 pounds of Judson
powder being used. Each tunnel was
50 feet long, and extended to an l., in
which was the powder. From the L to
the mouth of each tunnel rock and dirt
had been "tamped" in as hard as posi-
BILE. The four explosions were to &C.
cur successfully, the first to loosen the
the cliff and make it easier for the sec
ond to become effective, and so on.
The first explosion was was awaited
with some little apprehension by the
harbor commissioners and other occu-
pants Of the ow.boat But when it &C.
cured, with dull, heavy sound, and it
became apparent that fragments Of
stone were not to fly through the air,
there was unanimous desire that the
boat should move nearer the shore.
The other explosions occurred soon af-
ter. No. 3 was grand affair. A great
section of the cliff was toppled over,
and huge powders and tons of dirt
rushed down TO the waters edge. The
blasts were pronounced successful, and
the quality OF stone, on subsequent in
spectlon, seemed satisfactory to the
harbor commissioners. 1t was estimat-
ed by the engineers that the 1900
pounds of explosives had displaced in
about 10 minutes $4,000 tons Of rock
and earth.

SEEING THE POPE.
A Detroit Clepgyman's Visit TO
Pope Leo XIII

From the Detroit Free Press
"when was In Europe" said Cath
Ollie clergyman, determined not to leave
before could see Pope Leo XIII. had
been in Rome several days viewing the
sights of the Eternal City and made the
acquaintance OF a priest who has the
title Of 'Monseignor.' To him ! made
my wish known, and he promised to as
sist me in catching glimpse of the
head OF the church. II is an exceed
ingly difficult matter for visitor to get
view of the Holy Father. and ! con
slider that | had good luck, although |
did not have the pleasure OF speaking u
word to him. | wanted to see him
while taking walk or drive In the
Vatican garden, which Is his daily Gus
tom. My new-made acquaintance pro-
vided me with the necessary credentials
and | was told that the Pope would np-
pear In the garden that afternoon. |
presented myself before the appointed
hour, and after passing the Swiss guard
and showing my credentials several
times. found myself for the first time
In my life in the Vatican garden. need
not describe the beauty Of 1t, as II has
been much written about. There were
only few OF us present. and we
anxiously awaited the appearance OF
His Holiness. Suddenly mounted cav
alier, with n drawn sword, rode through
the garden and carefully serutiniZed
all of us. | did not know what
this meant, but was told aiterward that
the cavalier performs this duty previous
to the Pope's appearance to satisfy him
self that there are no enemies around.
1t will be remembered that an attempt
was made by Garibaldian to assassi-
nate the lamented Pope Plus lX. The
would-be assassin secreted himself In
the garden, after having gained access
by some surreptitious means. We wait
ed few minutes, when n carriage drove
up to the door and the Pope came out.
He is venerable-appearlng man, with
an intellectual look, and wore white.
His slippers were cardinal red, and gilt
tered with magnificent jewels. The
coachman showed profound respect for
him, and gave him n short drive. When
the Pope returned he Immediately went
back to his apartments, but appeared
to be very feeble as he went up the stairs
leading to them. The coachman re-
ceived his blessing after letting him out
OF the carriage, but he did not speak n
word to him. We were told that the
Pope occasionally walks or rides out
twice day. When he leaves the coach
man without blessing him Ii Is sign
that he will come out again, and the
servant Is on hand at D O'Clock for the
second drive; otherwise not. The coach
man has been employed at the Vatican
for many years. After having our wish
gratiiied we were let out the garden,
and again had to pass the military sta
toned around the premises"

A GOOD WORD FOR TRAMPS.
A Much Abused Class Having
Some Good Points.

From he Memphis Appeal.
81 have noticed great deal in The
papers lately about tramps," said resi-
dent to an Appeal man yesterday, land
must say think there is side to the
question which seems to be lost sight of
altogether. An injustice may be done
even to tramp. am now nearly 20
years of age, and have lived in Memphis
nearly half my life, so | think l may
claim to have some knowledge of the
character of the class of tramps who
visit the city. | say tramps, because
that term has, by common consent, come
to be applied unfortunately to all Of
the unfortunates who arrive here stran-
gers, without money or good clothes. i
know there are some of them who do not
care to work, and travel from city to
city living by what they can beg or
steal. But as in all my experience
have never known but one of the kind,
think the whole number must be com
paratively small Some years ago my wife
and had n discussion about this new
subject, and agreed to keep memoran-
dun of all the tramps who visited the
house during the year. None were ever
turned away, but no food was given any
one of them until some triiling service
had first been performed. When the
work given one TO do was, as my wife
believed, worth more than n meal, n
dime orquarter would be given the man.
They were told TO return the next day
If they found nothing to do and were
still hungry. A great many OF them
were so i'll that they were hardly able to
not gladly perform the service required
of him. At the end of the year we ran
over the memorandum and found that
about 300 had been fed during the pc
Rod. Only ten had returned n second
time. and four third time. One only,
rs have already mentioned, declined
to perform the service required of him.
All Of the others were glad to be able
to do something to earn the food
given them. The best servant We ever
had belonged to the tramp fraternity.
he asked for something to eat, and
when informed that there was n good
square meal waiting for any one who
would split enough kindling to get sup
per, he expressed his satisfaction in the
most unmisiakable way. lie cut enough
klndl.ag to light 20 fires, brought several
buckets of water and piled up the bin
with coal. We liked the way he went
about his work so well that we en-
ployed him, and he remained with us
nearly two years. 1t Is probable he
would have been about the house yet,
but we left the city for nearly year
and he was obliged to seek employment
elsewhere. do not think the facts will
justify wholesale abuse of the poor
fellows who come here every year home
less and hungry. Offer them work and
you will see how quickly they take it,
