TEN GIRLS KILLED.
TERRIBLE EXPLOSION in A SQUlB
FACTORY NEAR PLYMOUTH.

TWO MEN INJURED, ONE FATALLY.
wrLKEsBARRE, Pa. Feb. 25..-A
terrible disaster occurred at Plymouth,
q few miles from here, this afternoon,
by which 10 girls, employees were killed.
Back Of the Gaylord shaft stood the
factory Of John Powell. used for the
manufacture Of squibs, used by the
miners in ~loosening coal in the mines.
The factory employed "a girls, ranging
from 10 to 20 years, and several male
workmen. While the majority Of the
girls were at their homes eating dinner
the people were startled by the deafen-
ing thunders of q terrific explosion.
They rushed terror stricken to their
doors and windows and In the distance
saw clouds of smoke ascending from the
sQuib factory. Soon y large crowd had
gathered around it, and women began
wrlnging their hands and men turned
away from the sight presented when
the charred body Of a young girl was
seen lying In one of the rooms. and the
fact became known that at least IL
persons were in the building at the
time of the explosion, eating their
MONDAY lunch. The scent was fraught
with terror, as the girls, some Of them
bleeding, others gasping for q few
breaths Of fresh air, rushed to the
windows and screamed frantically for
help. About this time a dozen miners
from the adjoining cOlliery came
upon the scene. and as soon as
they saw the bleeding forms of the
girls, calling for AID. rushed eds
the building In a body, but f~.4n-
ted their proffered succor. As o as
they stepped near the door an Their
terrific explosion took place and the
entire building collapsed, burying in
the ruins the forms that u moment
before stood crying for assistance.
The Drawer of the men when the
smoke and flying debris had settled,
rushed among the ruins, and one
by one the bodies were found and
taken out charred beyond recogi
milton, bleeding and mutilated. AS
mothers saw and recognized some
familiar token or piece of dress by
which they could tell their loved ones,
the scene was one that represented the
extreme throes of sorrow and destruc-
ton. The bodies, as fast as they were
taken out, were removed to an under
taking establishment, where they were
placed in a row. Their features were
90 badly mutilated that they were
scarcely recognizable.

When Mr.. Scott Marble wrote my
Aunt Bridget" for Messrs. George w.
Monroe ard John G. Rice he fitted
them nicely, keeping in mind the fact
that people today want to laugh, and
care but little for the absurdity of
what they laugh at. In MY Aunt
Bridget Messrs. Monroe and Rice
have ample scope for the display of
their peculiar qualities, and they take
advantage of the opportunities offered.
Mr.. Monroe as Bridget McVeigh, a

keeps the house in the best of humor.
His confidential remarks to the audi
ence about his nephew-P. Alton Me-
Veign (Mr. John G. Rice) are inn
mensely funny. While Bridget Me-
Weigh is a broadly drawn character,
it is a broadly drewn character, it is a
type of q class, and possesses points
easily recognized. 1t is brimful of
humor, and moves to laughter by its
drollery. Mr.. Rice as Budgets
nephew, p. Alton McVeigh, Is a
capital assistant in the fun making.
sThe song, 'sEhi Did L Hear Your by

provoking to alafge degree, and Miss

acts charmingly. sMysAunt Bridget

end in view-music and laughter.

overfeeding Babies.

Immediately upon the birth of a child
the average nurse and mother are apt to
be interested in its feeding, SO much so as
to engage in the stufling process. Instead
OF placing the child in a comfortable con-
ditiun, and using every means possible to
give it the quietude necessary to sleep,
the little innocent is filed with sugar and
water, teas and Stops, which favor fer
mentation in the intestinal canal. Collie
is the result. and then follows the trotting
and shaking up of the tender bud by the
ambitious, energetic and muscular Betsy
Trotwood of the sick room. Sleep for any
one in the room is out OF the question.

At the Court of China,

All persons who are admitted to the
presence of the Emperor.o of China must
PROSTATE themselves on the f1oor three
times in succession; no bows are sufficient,
but downright obeisance must be made,
and whether the ruler of the Celestials is
in his chair or not the same programme
must be carried out. Visitors at the
palace of the Sultan are permitted to kiss
the golden fringe of the sash, which is
kept dangling from the divan for the ex-
press purpose of receiving the devotional
kisses imprinted pom it by the faithful.
A few privileged ones are q trifle more
familiar in their addresses and go
SO far as to kiss the boot which is on the
foot of His Gracious Majesty, who sits up
aloft gazing into space, utterly unconscious
of the, great men who bow before him. A
traveller in Siam thus describes the in
TERROR of the royal palace;-s'The King
was seated on a coach draped with red
velvet and beautiful curtain of gold and
silver tissue, and during the whole inter
view soft music vas heard. The com
pany were instructed to enter the presence
of the mighty ruler OF all fours, while
the courtiers crept in and remained pros
trate on the floor all the while. The sur
roundings were elegant and costly, but
nothing could make the King look the
least bit imposing, and as he sat cross
legged on the cushions he had very much
the appearance of an overfed Bfahmin

Nihilisrn.

Leo Hartman is writing a series of
articles on Nihilism in Russia for the
New York Ledger, which rank among
the most important contributions
to current popular litera-
ture. Hartman was one of
the arch-plotters against the
life of the late Gar. He is one Of
the most deeply and doubly dyed in
the principles of the sect, and one
of the ablest expounders ther Of.
He is an exile from his country upon
pain of his life, and he is a wanderer
in many lands, wherein he strives to
spread the doctrines of his sect.
1t is unnecessary to say that Hart,
man speaks with authority, and as
suredly he does his best to put his
cause before the American public in
its fairest light. If any u~nfavorable
conclusions are drawn concerning it,
the fault can be laid neither to preju-
dice nor to biased or imperfect pre-
sentation. Hartman makes out the
very best ease he can, and Nihilisn
cannot refuse to stand or fall by the
calm judgments which impartial read
ers of these papers may form. AS to
the position of the Boomers in publish
ing the papers, only one thing can be
said. The act shows both enterpfise
and enlightenment. If Nihilisin had
anything to recommend 1t, il were
best the world knew that thing. II it
is the nightmare of modern history, its
gloomy negation of good and right
will be all Bhe more evident in the
pages OF it's advocate.
Hartman himself is evidently i'm
bned with the feeling that at the out
set the sect-as it ought to be called
rather than the party-stands in need
of apology. To Justify its existence
some extraordinary exciting cause
must be established. 1t can only
