Antiquity of the Rose.

1t is curious To find how long the rose
has been beloved and admired. Solo
mon, one Thousand years before Jesus,
sang of its glory Ioroastcr. five hundred
years before Jesus, tells us the rose was
created free from thorns, and remained
SO until the entrance of the wicked one
into the world; then man began to do
wrong. and things began to be wrong.
which. of course, is an easy way of cy-
planning whatever did not seem pleas
ant. So far as the rose is concerned
we know better; we know that all the
rose family was once very thorny. and
for very good reason; for only
thorny sorts could resist the attacks Of
herbivorous animals. But under the
culture of man, thorns have disappeared
from apples and pears, and some of the
berries; and there is no doubt but we
shall get rid of all thorns from all of
the rOsacip in the course of time.-St.

remember something that happened out
west that knocks the spots off anything
you've mentioned yet. Two of the
horses in the race were hot favorites,
and as it was known that they were
very evenly matched and that the re-
suit would be close, it was resolved to
measure their noses in advance. This
was done. They ran away together
from the start. and came in under the
wire ncclt-and-nccll, nosc-and-nosc. 1t
was Il close and exciting race all the
way through, and nobody would have

FOR THE SOUTH SEAS.
The Departure of the Case Zine
Schooner Yacht Hiram Bling
ham,


Prior to the sailing of the Rev.
Walkup's gasoline schooner Hiram
Bingham for the Gilbert Islands,
yesterday afternoon, religious
service was conducted at the wharf
by Revs. O. P. Emerson and E. G.
Beckwith. Mr.. w. B. Kapu also
took part in the services. Several
addresses were made and the exer-
cises were closed by the singing Of
hymn. A very large number of
people was assembled at the wharf,
among them men of prominence
in this city.
Rev. A. c. Walkup then made
preparations to 'get up" steam,
and all eyes were turned to see the
gasoline engine in motion. After
working at it for quite a while, the
chief engineer could not make the
engine answer to his wishes, and
at 5 o'clock he gave up further
attempts, so the little craft was
towed out to sea by Pilot Babcock's
boat. Captain Walkup expects to
get his engine into good working
order before ne reaches his destin-
alton. The voyage down will be
covered in about twenty-five days,
as she will depend mostly on her
sailing qualities. On the voyage
down from San Francisco the
Hiram Bingham encountered the
same rough weather that the Mari
posa experienced, and Captain
Walkup was delighted with the
way his boat weathered the storm

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.

A Nitro-Glycerine Factory Demol-
ished-Three Persons Killed-Others
Injured.
COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 2s.-A special from
Lima, O., to the Evening Dispatch says: A
nitro-glycarine factory two miles south of
Lima exploded with a terrific report at II
O'Clock this morning. The report WAS
heard for twenty miles and the force of
the conclusion shook buildings and caused
the windows to rattle in all parts of the
city. Three persons are known to have
been killed and two badly injured. In ad-
dition two teamsters are missing and it is
possible their bodies are in the wreck.
The killed are: Andy Scute, Benjamin
Bowling and Henry Schafnel. The injured
are: William Potter, badly cut and bruised;
Tom Matchu, probably fatally injured;
Banj DOVE, leg blown off.
The terrific force of the explosion can
be imagined when it is stated the farm
house of William Hooker, 1900 yards
from the factory, was totally wrecked, the
servant girl being injured by falling de-
bris. A farmhouse nearly a mile distant
was badly damaged, and $1,000 plate
glass front in the Metropolitan bank, fully
three miles away, was shattered. There is
a huge hole in the ground where the mag
azine foImerly stood, and it is close to the
tracks of tie Chicago and Erie railway.
The cause of the explosion is not known.
