A DYNAMITE BOMB.
A Crank Tries to Blow Up Russell Sage and
Loses His Own Life.

New YORK, Dec. 5.-The metropolis
was never SO worked up anything
as the event which caused SO intense
excitement in Wall street Friday when
a crank attempted to blow up Russell
Sage with dynamite. He came into
Sage's Office and depositing a carpet
bag on the floor said: .'If you will
not give me S1,25O 1 will blow you to
pieces" Immediately after the ex-
p~losion, which shook the building,
took place. Sage was slightly bruised
and burned, while the crank was in.

has been more fully considered and made
the subject of extended experiments by the
scientists, SO serious a matter is the use OF
alum in bread or other food considered to
be that stringent laws have been enacted
to prevent it. These laws are rigidly en-
forced. and the sale OF alum baking powders
would not be permitted for an hour. Any
one who attempted to make them for use
in food, oil attempted to use them for rails
ing bread, biscuit or cake would suffer Sc
we're penalties.
raised by alum baking powders are the
more dangerous because OF their insidious
character. 1t would be less dangerous to
the community were it fatal at once, for
then such iood would DE avoided; but their
deleterious action because imperceptible at
first is no less certain.
The puckering effect which alum has when
taken in the mouth is familiar to everyone.
Physicians say this same effect is produced
by it upon the delicate coats Of the stom-
aeh and intestines.
What housewife would take home to her
family a can of alum or baking
powder il she knew it. Such powders not
only undermine the system, but it is point
ed out that ammonia taken into the sys-
TEN in even infinetisimal doses day after
day imparts to the complexion a ALLOW
and blotched appearance.
1t is safe to discard all baking powders
sold with a prize or gift.
What a misnomer are the words "Abso-
lutely Pure. as applied to baking powders.
Two of the largest selling brands, one made
from alum, the other containing ammonia.
and both OF these drugged baking powders
have stamped upon their labels and circu.
lars these words. AS a matter OF fact they
are Absolutely Poor" as shown by
official examinations.

The holly contested Democratic
caucus fight for speaker of the house
resulted in the choice of Crisp of
Georgia over Mills of Texas, on the

casting his vote for Crisp, gave the
Georgian the winning vote. The choice
OF Crisp is regarded as anti-Cleveland.

They'll Try It Over AYain.

The small boy tackles tobacco first
In solitude back of tho barn,
Until his head is ready to burst,
His brain like ball of yarn;
His stomach rolls and his eyes are red,
But spite of his woe and pain,
He's pretty certain, if not quite dead,
To try it over again.
A man will tackle John Barleycorn
In every possible way.
His head may feel when he wakes at morn
AS big as load of hay;
His nerves may shake and his eyes lose
sight,
And fog surround his brain.
"The hair Of dog will cure its bite,"
He says-and tries it again.
A girl will fasten her corset string
To the door-knob, and then brace
And pull till she gets the proper thing,
In form of ''slcnder grace;"
Her ribs may lap and her spine may snap,
And she may faint from the pain,
But just as sure as she lives it through,
That girl will try it again.
But if saving wood made that boy sick,
He'd never try it again;
If churches filled mems hats with brick,
They'd never go there again;
If fashion said girl was goose
To lace, she wouldn't again.
There's moral somewhere around here
loose,
Perhaps you'll find it again.

Glider in Politicl.

Cectury. entered the lists against
Tammany. His appearance in politics
last fall is described by the World: The
appearances Of Richard Watson Glider
in politics are rare, but not unfraught
with interest He is as intense as
most men Of strong poetical fancy. and
his manner on the stump would be
amusing If there were not something
rather pathetic in his earnestness. His
hair is long, his face is gaunt and his
figure is spare. He has the look Of a
scholar and an enthusiast. He is, in
deed, both Of these thinga His
speeches on the Bowery have been
masterpieces Of polite and brilliantly
scathing diction. The tough East
Siders listened to Mr. Glider with
their cigars very far down in the
corners OF their mouths and their
hands thrust deep 10 their pocke 8.
One Of them voiced the general senti.
ment OF the crowd a few nights ago,
when after listening carefully 10 the
rhetorical but to him inexplicable
periods of Mr.. Gilder's discourse, he
turned on his heels slowly and said
with an air Of judicial fairness: SWELL,

about but that TELLER don't mean nc

BOTTLE BELLS.
Chime that Can Eadly bc Hade-Swsst Aslodl
Rrou Clnss

Chime that Can Eadly bc Hade-Sweet Melody
from Glass.
To make chime OF metal bells. such
as are used by the Swiss bell ringers.
would be a difficult task for any but an
expert musician. but a chime OF bottle
bells may be made by any clever boy
with musical ear.
The apparatus consists of two chairs,
two sticks and eighteen bottles The
bottles are each hung to the sticks by
an ordinary string. the strings having
double loops. II the bottles are all OF
the same shape and size, they can be
tuned by pouring water into them-the
more the water, tho lower the note;
but If it is impossible TO get the full
compass in this way, differently shaped
bottles can be used TO fill the gaps. In
fact, II you will hang up all the empty
bottles you have in the house and hit
them with a drumstick. or any stick
with a wooden knob, you will find that
every one has . different note. which
can b. modified by pouring in little
water; it is impossible to say how
much water should be used, as bottles
vary SO much.
In the set illustrated all the sharps
and fats are present, so that the chro-
matte scale is complete; but it is not
always possible to get this, and you
must be content to have your instru-
ment in c or G, or D. or even F.
There is no limit 10 the number Of
bottles. You can 60 an octave higher.
and work in medicine bottles If you
wish; but. as a rule, the glass should
be fairly strong.
As far as the hammer is concerned,
almost any stick is good enough to
beat with. We have used hazel
walking-stick with satisfactory results.
but a stick with more spring in il
would not be amiss.
For quick tunes two sticks should be
used; for very quick tunes there should
be two players, one on one side of the
line and one on the other.
In our chime the lowest note is to
the left hand; Immediately below it is
the next note; on the upper line comes
the next, on the lower the next and
so on, the object being to keep the
scale well within reach.
Bottles are not the only things thai
will give a musical note when suspend
ed in this way. Iron pipes, steel
pipes, pieces Of metal, Jumps of flint
and cups and saucers can all be made
fairly musical with little care ir
selection. New York Morning Jour.

Tha Vanderbilt Million :.

The care OF the Vanderbilt millions
Is far greater burden than most
people imagine. There are not many
citizens in our country who require q
great bank Of their own in which to
transact their business and deposit
their securities. One of the largest
banking buildings in the country is
tho Lincoln National Bank, at Fifth
avenue and Forty-second street. This
belongs to the Vanderbilts. 1t holds
millions OF money and many more
millions Of securities which represent
their wealth. After the elder Wander
bilt died, and his property had to be
distributed among his children, II was
no small task to 60 over the vast
number OF stocks and bonds he left,
and divide them up according to the
provisions OF tho will. Nor WAS it 3
small matter to distribute the ready
money that was in the bank. This
bank and its operators seem like a
romance Of our rapid civilization. In
entimental features nothing In Europe
can compare with it In no country
on earth except this could such an in
ttitution exist under similar con-
ditions In NO other land could q
family have had as Its financial
servant man who had been Cabinet
Minister. Yet when Thomas l.. James
ceased to be Postmast ter General he

National Bank to count the money and

Edison said, laconically, "Never look
