THAT fashionable school of girls.
Agontz, is said to have a running class
where young women exercise with
run for mile or two every morning.
American girls no longer allow it to be
truthfully said that English women ex-
eel them in their devotion to physical
exercise. In walking, rowing, and
many other outdoor recreations Ameri-
can girls ask no favors of the young
men They can walk as far and row
as well as most of the young men. The
American girl allows no other girl in
christendom to excel her in anything.

The Potato Blight in England.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-England has
taste of the trouble which fell so dis
astrously upon Ireland last year-the
potato blight Practically the whole
potato crop of both Lincolnshire and
Cambridgeshire is diseased, the "black
spot" having appeared in every field.
Hundreds of acres of the plants are
worse than useless and have become a
cause of threatening pestilence, foul
odors being emitted to poison the sur
rounding air. This is the banner potato
district of England, and, though the po-
tato crop does not mean SO much as in
Ireland, it is an important matter for
the portion of the country affected.

Terrible Slaughter.

New YORK, Aug. pa most disas-
trous accident occurred Saturday after
noon at 80 o'clock in Park place, be-
tween Greenwich street and College
|place. At that time the street was
filled with hurrying people and heavily
laden wagons and trucks. First a
small, white, vaporish cloud burst from
the ground floor of Nos. 70, 70 and "a
Park place; then was heard a dull,
deep, sullen roar as if some monster
was trying to break his bones. The
roar was followed by an eruption, and
mass of brick, stone and lumber was
hurled thirty feet heavenward.
The cries of terror of men and the
almst human screams of the horses was
only a small accompaniment of the ter
rible scene which instantly followed.
Not more than second could possibly
have elapsed before the front walls of
Numbers or and "a fell crashing into
the street Fire Immediately broke
out and the fire department was sum-
moned.
As soon as the fire was extinguished
| work was begun getting out the dead
and injured. Up to six p. M Sunday
seventeen bodies were taken out and
ten persons who were injured. How
many were in the building at the time
of the disaster is not known. In pee
tor Williams, who has been at the
scene of the disaster almost from the
first moment, said in regard to the pro-
| bable cause of the accident: ''There
H.:
cause there was nothing to explode.
The accident was the result of a weak
structure and the incessant vibration
OF the heavy presses" Many of the
witnesses who saw the crash say that
the building slowly bulged out in the
middle until it had formed noticeable
curve from the roof to the ground, and
then it fell. T..
