BosToN, Dec. 2S.-The fourth annual
meeting of the American Folklore society
was opened here today at the Thorndike.
Professor F. w. Putnam of Cambridge
presided. The principal business at the
forenoon session, was the report of the
council. They announced the formation
of two new branches at New Orleans and
Montreal, and recommended that the COM
mon name "American Folk Lore Society"
be adopted by all the branches of the or
ganization. They also recommended that
the society be incorporated under the laws
of Massachusetts,. The forenoon session
closed with the reading of paper by
William Wells Newell Of Cambridge, ON
Examples of Forgery In Folklore" The
paper led to an interesting discussion of
the difficulties the collector of Indian folk
lore meets with, in his attempt to learn
from the people the old stories which have
been handed down by word of mouth from
father to son through countless gener-
atoms
lev. d. OWEN dorsey or the bureau or
ethnology, Washington, and DIR. F. z.
Chamberlain of Clark university, Worces-
ter, told of interesting and provoking ex-
perisnces in collecting Indian riddles. He
found that the seemingly valuable riddles
were simply versions of riddles that the
Indian children had learned from the
whites and had worked over to suit them
selves.
Rev. Mr.. Dorsey opened the afternoon
session with paper entitled "Two Biloxi
Tales" The stories were obtained from an
old Biloxi Indian in central Louisiana and
much resemble the style of "Grimm's
Fairy Tales"
Other papers were read by Professor
Adolf Gerber, Esrlham college, Richmond,

BALTIMORE, Dec. 29.-The report that

DUBLIN, Dec. 2S.-The authorities, sf-

been doing was true in every particular.
Their inquiry revealed that the man had
not been near the scene of the explosion,
and nothing remained but to release him.
The police are therefore as far as ever
from discovering the author of the out

LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y, Dec. 28.-
This city was shaken this morning at
O'Clock by an explosion at the tunnel shaft
of the New York and Long Island Tunnel
company.
Some cartridges of Forsythe's powder
were placed by Fireman McEntee in the
steam chests in the tunnel sheds to thaw.
They had been there fifteen minutes when
the explosion occurred.
They exploded with terrific force, caus-
ing the death of six persons, fatally injur-
ing two others and wounding twenty
more.
The scene Of the explosion Ia the most
thiokly settled portion of Hunters Point.
The effect of the explosion on Davren's fat
was terrible. Every window sash in the
rear was ripped out and the glass driven
through the rooms and the front blown
out. Men, women and children were rude
ly dashed to the floor, some being struck
by large sheets of glass and others by pieces
of woodwork and falling ceilings. Bureaus,
tables and stoves were upturned. A strip
of the rear brick wall fell in with
terrible crash. Amidst the confusion
were heard the cries of the wounded and
means of the dying. Scantily-clad women
and children rushed from the building.
Firemen and police were quickly on the
spot and began a search through the
buildings and brought out the dead and
wounded. The ambulance from st. Johns
hospital and corps of doctors arrived
quickly removed to the hospital. Flames
burst out on the third floor of one
of the apartment buildings. The
flames spread rapidly and before
the fremen got them under control
nearly the whole row of buildings was
Quilted. The damage was not confined to
the fats. For half mile in every direc-
ton the window panes in stores and houses
were blown out, falling on the heads of
many people passing along the sidewalks,
by which means many were in ured. The
sidewalks were covered with the broken
glass. In stores articles were throw from
shelves and counters. At least twenty
families were rendered homeless, moat of
them losing everything they possessed.
Sylvester Bray's refrigerator factory
was demolished, as were brick building
owned by Frank McMann and another by
Isaac Van Epper. The row of fats was
owned by James DavEen, president of the
board of assessors. His loss is estimated
at $4,000. The buildings were insured
against fire for $500. The other losses
$50, 900 more. There were nine men
working in the tunnel when the explosion
occurred. They thought the shaft had
collapsed. None of them were Injured.

ATTRACTIONS HISTORIC AND MODERN.
AT THE GATEWAY OF THE NATIONAL PARK.

Great attitudes furnish gymnasium
where the respiratory organs are compelled
to be exercised, and, consequently become
larger and more efficient.
Altitude, also, prevents instead of inducing
hemorrhage, as was the old opinion. This
fact has been well established by experience
and observation.
Prof. NJ. w. Harrington, chief of the U. s.
weather bureau, says;
Santa Fe lies in the driest part of the
United States. This region is extensive, but
changes in form from season to season.
Santa Fe is always in it, however.
THE WATERS OF SANTA FE.
DR., J. F. Banter vice-president Of the
American Health Resort association says:
at is worth travelling miles to drink of
such waters as flow through this deep cut in
the mountains and supply the city of Santa
Fe for domestic purposes and for irrigation
of the fruit farms. The water is absolutely
pure, cold and fresh from the melting
SHOWS above, or trickling from springs in
the mountain side. 1t is free from all lime,
alkali or other ingredients so very injurious
to the consumptive patient. Such water is
great boon anywhere and at any time, but
here, where other features of sunshine and
pure air combine to produce an ideal
climate, it is Of special value"

The nick Of time to stop the course of bladder

healthful impulse toward activity that they re-

them from impending danger, and averts such
dangerous nsladies as Bright's disease and dia-

liability to chronic rheumatism, govt and drop
