DEADLY GASOLINE.
A Fearful Disaster Reported From
Frederick, Md.
A Gasoline Explosion In n storo Causes n
Fire and Before IL is Put ont AM
othor Occurs-Two Killed and Do
Ninety Wounded s... ..

BALTIMORE, Nd, May GA special To
the SNa from Frederick, Md, says; A ter
rlblc accident occurred at seven o'clock last
evening from the effects of an explosion OF
barrel of gasoline in the cellar of the gro
Gerry store of Charles e. zellers, corner of
Market and South streets. Two persons
were killed and from ninety TO ono hundred
injured. Mr.. Zellers, at seven o'clock, sent
n boy into his cellar to tap barrel OF gaso-
line. On account of the darkness the boy
struck a match to light lantern. As he
did so the gas that had accumulated in tho
cellar ignited and the boy rushed upstairs
crying tire"
A public alarm was quickly given and In
few minutes the several fire companies
were on the spot Dense volumes of smoke
rolled out of the cellar, but the Bremen got
actively to work and were just about to
throw n stream of water upon the flames
when terrible explosion of gasoline oc-
Cured. Tho large and heavy plate-glass
windows were shivered and the small pieces
were sent with great force across the street.
At the same time the whole brick front OF
the residence portion of the structure fell
outward with loud crash, followed by the
almost entire demolition of the warehouse
and back building OF the establishment. In
an instant aftcrward the most agonizing
shrleks and screams were heard and the
hundreds of people who had gathered to see
the fire ran in every direction.
1t was soon learned what terribly sick
euing work had been done. Many of those
who fow minutes before had left their
! homes to stay the flames were now return
| ing with their faces, heads and arms either
| terribly burned or covered with blood.
Some walked alone, some were led, while
| others were carried upon strctchers into the
yards and residences near by. All the physi-
clans and surgeons in the city were soon on
tho ground dressing tho wounds OF the in
| jured, and the priests of the Novitiate gave
absolution and spiritual comfort of those Of
their fiocks. Tno scene was slckening,
| Women and children rushed to and fro
wringing their hands, crying and imploring
bystandcrs to tell them whether their
fathers, brothers or sons were among the
injured The street for a square in several

A Horrible Murder.

Portsmouth, N. H, May 29.-Two young
men on their way to work Monday mornin &
discovered the body of Henry Whitehouse,
aged twenty-five, an employe of the electric
light works, lying on Mobiles Island shore,
near the blacksmith shop. The body was
terribly disfigured, the throat was cut from
ear to ear and tho head contained ten or
twelve wounds inflicted with some blunt in
strument. A machinist's hammer was
found near the body. Whitehouse had been
paying attention to q lady in Kittery and
left her house shortly after eleven o'clock
Sunday night and was due at the electric
station at twelve. 1t is supposed that White-
house was killed on the highway near the
railroad track and dragged to the shore. A
trail of blood leading to the track was dis
covered. Superintendent Palmer, of the
electric company, when shown the hammer
excaimed: "My God that settles it in my
mind" Ten minutes later the sheriff ar
rested James Palmer former employe oi
thecompany, and lodged him in Jail on sus'
picion of being the murderer.

Lost Land Patents Found.

MrNNEApoLIs, MINI, May 29.-The Off.
GERS of the st. Crolx Lacrosse district land
office, in Wisconsin, while looking over the
old records and filings in the office at st.
Croix, have discovered about 1000 old land
patents, which have been missing for over
thirty years The entries of these patents
were in regular form and they were prop.
erly issued from tho Land Ofice in Wash
ington, but while this was being done the
district was divided and by some error the
documents were sent to the wrong Office and
have lain forgotten in the vaults ever since.
They bear date from 1857 to 1859 and are
signed by President james Buchanan. In
addition to many sections of farm lands
these patents cover much of tho area of the
city of Eau Claire. Their discovery re-
lieves great many property holders Of the
fear of possible litigation which hung over
the more timid as long as tho papers were
missing.

Rumored Indian outbreaIs.

CHICAGO, May 2S.--Referring TO tho ru-
mors of an Indian outbreak at the Pine
Ridge agency in the southwestern part OF
Dakota, General Crook says: "There is no
truth in the story. haven't heard any
thing of it, and If there was any truth in 1t
l would have been notified. There are a
number of settlements between the agency
and tho railroad and had there been any
trouble there they would have
sent word to some military post and
the division headquarters hero would
have been notified. There is no rea-
son either to apprehend an outbreak,
for the Indians appear to be satisfied"
Notwithstanding this assertion of General
Crook, a late telegram states positively that
Governor Church has sent militia TO the
agency to suppress an outbreak. No par
ticulars arc given. On the othor hand again,
the Northwestern railroad officials deny the
story of an uprising, and they claim to have
authentic information on this point

How Women Walk.


1t can not DO out of place here to
suggest the advisability of opening
classes where children, girls especially,
might be taught the science of walk
ing. Mothers shosld be the natural
teachers, but many who are risidly
careful in all other particulars seem alb
solutcly Indifferent on this important
point In fact, after showing them
navigation by means of their legs
duty is believed TO be at nm end, and
no matter how wretchedly child
moves the parent rests satisfied with
only spasmodic attempts Mt correction.
Whether the ungraceful wobblc, tho
halting step and painful stoop so COM
monty seen is attributed to carelessness
or unnatural dressing, certain it ia
that six out of evsry ten women walk
abominably. To be upright and easy
in ones movements Is only rs nature
intended, and unless deformed there is
not the slightest excuse for the absurd
locomotion noticed on the street IS every
day. Why children are permitted tt
grow up pigcon-toed round-shouldor
ed, crooked and awkward is PROPOSE
ton left open for further discussion.

Some families desire to make the |
cheese for family use. 1t is true, cheese
can not be made of such uniform tex
ture and quality as where all the appli-
ances are at hand, as in n well-ordered
cheese factory. Nevertheless, by using
care, better cheese may be made than
is usually found in country stores. The
very best rennet must be used, and
proper attention be paid to the temper
aturc of the milk during the process of
manufacturing The rcnnet (the
fourth stomach of n calf before it has
eaten grass) should be at least six
months old-one year is better-and
must have been kept perfectly dry.
Put n good sound rennct in gallon
crock containing three quarts of warm
water, tencup full of salt, and if n
handful of sage leaves are added it will
give a delicate sage flavor to the
cheese. Soak three days, or until
teaspoonful of the rennet extract stirred
in teacupful of milk will curdle it in
fifteen minutes. The strength is then

PROTECTING CHILDREN.
A Subject Whose Importance Is Not Fully
Appreciated.

Appreciated.
School officers in this country have
great deal of trouble in enforcing the
laws which were designed TO protect
growing children in their right to grow.
A boy or a girl who works in cotton
or wooden factory, or in any other
place where the air is vitintcd, or the
posture constrained or scdcntary, can
seldom attain the proper development
of human being Such child is
cheated of large part of his chance
of happy life, and it is the business OF
Government to prevent cheating.
All tn. civilized nations have laws
against this great wrong. Italy per-
mits children of nino to work for wages
but requires as preliminary condi-
ton, the certificate of q physician at
testing that the child is able to perform
the proposed work without injury.
Perhaps even this inadequate measure
is little better than none. 1t my
serve to remind people that children
have rights which Governments arc
bound to protect.
Spain goes much farther. In that
country the limit is fixed at ten years,
but with this most important addition:
bovs under thirteen and GIRLS under
fourteen must not be kept at work
moro than five hours n doy. In Sweden
tho days work for children is limited
to six hours, and night work is abso-
lutely prohibited. .......
Denmark ncrmits children to labor
six hours and half. but also requires
two hours, attendance Mt school. In
Hungary no child under twelve NAV
work in n factory. except with special
license. and the davis work for minors
Lis limited by law to eight hours.
Everv child who labors must go to
| scbool n mart of every dny.
In the German Empire, no child car
lawfully labor in n fuctorv until he i.
twelve wears old. and the davis worl
is fixed at six hours, with three hours
schoolinp daily. Nine hours close con
tinement is tno much for any growing
creature.
France is sadly ncglcctful of the duty
she owes her little children. The law
fixes twelve wears MS the age of The
Youngest workers, but there are SC
MANY exceptions that the limit prac
tical.y is ten years. In manufactorie,
of paper, sugar and glass, boys o
twelve are permitted to work at nigh
and all night. .
Three countries in Europe, and only
three, have dccreed that child mus
be fourteen years of age before it MAJ
work in n shop or factory, and thes,
have also prohibited all night work t.
children. Tho three countries are Aus
tria, England and Switzerland.
