most familiar figures in Chester county
politics, died at his home in Cochranville.
Of pneumonia on Tuesday. after an IN.
ness Of only a few days, in his 9th wear.
His death was so sudden and so unex-

practiced dentistry with great success
for many years at Cochranville, and a
number of gentlemen who have become
quite eminent in the profession were
students in his office. The doctor was
better known as a politician, however.

gency. Sprinkllng water upon the pipes
is one OF the most ready means of raising
the temperature. PlaLts in windows
upon anticipation of very cold nioht
may bF removed to the middle of the
room, or an arrangement may be made
for hanging over the plants. screen of
light cloth or paper to be put over the
plants while the room Is being swept will
aid greatly In keeping them free of dust.
The health of evergreen plants is much
promoted by giving weekly showering,
placing the window plants in the bath
tub. Plants too heavy to move, or that
are suspended, like ivy, should have their
leaves washed simply with soft cloth
and warm water.
1t Is seldom convenient to smoke house
plants, and tobacco water may be used
for insects instead, standing the pots in
the bath tub, or spacious sink. Pour
boiling water upon cheap tobacco, dilute
1t to the color of weak tea. Lay the pots
upon their sides in order that the under
surface of the leaves may be reached.
Frequent drenching with water only will
keep red spiders ia subsection.
Bulbs that were potted last fall should
be well rooted by this time and should be
brought into life and given waterl and
they will soon be in bloom. Give the
plants ventilation whenever the outside
weather will allow. Window plants may
be given air by opening the windows of
an adjoining room.
Pots of ANIMALS make fine decoration
for the window or green house, and now
is the time to sow the seeds. Nemophia
or Love-groye with its abundance of
light blue flowers, is oae of the best, as it
likes shady place. Candytuft, Sweet
Alyssum, and Mignonette are useful for
cutting. The canary-bird flower is an
annual climber, and useful to train up the
window from the inside, or later upon
the outside, and to trail over the bal
cony.
In the green house propagate from
cuttings and by seeds such plants as will
be needed for the garden in spring. Look
out for sudden and sharp changes of

HOW POWDER MILLS BLOW UP,
A Maine Man Relates His Thrilling Experien-
ces in a Gun Owder Explosion.



ces in a Gun owder Explosion
Lewiston Journal
Whosoever will invent way to work
powder with less danger to those so en-
ployed will confer one of the greatest of
boons on humanity. The thing may APP
pear to be impossible now, but way has
been found over apparently iDsurmount-
able difficulties In other fields of labor.
The story of the Gambo powder mills is
one of the most terrible in Names his
tory. Only one person now lives who
can 20 the full appreciate its horrors, and
that is Mr.. Clinton B. Hooper, who enjoys
the unique distinction of having passed
through powder mill ex plosion at Gamb
alive. He ia en- old man now and totally
blind. He knows the suffering caused by
the loss of friends in this way, too, as his
son was killed in the same mill few
years after his own dreadful ex perience.
He gives the following account of the ex-
plosion, as seen from the inside of the
building:
"The first thing that saw was small,
binding fash, which instantly grew
brighter, and jumped to get out of the
way. / had the presence of mind to fall
fat on the floor OF the mill. Then the
horrible deafning report came, and parts
or machinery, SUCKS and stones passed
over my head. Luckily | was not struck
by the missiles, but was terribly burned
by the powder end the conclusion shook
me up inside. | lay on my bed for
months, and you can see how l am
now"
One other man came out of the wreck
apparently unhurt. The blow knocked
the shoes from his feet, but he walked up
the road and told some men he met about
the accident. He was laughing and con-
graduating himself on his escape, when
it was discovered that the skin on the
bottom of his feet had gone with his
shoes, and a few minutes later he fell
dead from the effects of the concus-
sion.
The story of accidents averted is an in
teresting one One workman, having &C
cidenFly ignited some powder, clapped
his hand over it in second. His hands
were burned to crisp, but the mills and
their occupants were saved. AZ another
time workman stepped up to the super
intendent, who had just come in, and re-
marked: eff you step outside I'll tell
you something that will make your hair
turn gray" The perintendent stepped
outside and then the man began: "Did
you know you had lighted cigar in your
-" Before he could finish the SEN
tance down went the cigar to the ground.
If that workman had reminded MIN of
the fact in the mill, the cigar would have
been dashed Oh the floor where the pow
der was strewn.
