SCIENCE VS.. SUPERSTITION.

The Former Steps In and Explodes a
Fetish OF the Lattcr-A Miracle Window
which is Shown to be Nothing More
Nor Less than Defective Glass.
CANTON. Minn, Dec. ia thorough
examination has been made by an ex-
pert into the nature of the picture in
the church before which thousands of
people have bowed in worship and
prayer since August !. The result
proves that there is nothing super
natural in its appearance. The glass
is common sheet glass Of Pittsburgh
manufacture-three grades. The pro-
cess of making this glass includes an
healing, from which the cheapest grades
emanate, covered with a film Of smoke
due to the fuel used. This film il
burned into the glass, and is removed
only by polishing process, which the
cheaper glass does not receive. The
effect on the glass is sometimes
fantastic Viewed from certain angles
and in certain lights variety Of out
lines may be seen. Alcohol was APP
piled, and the window thoroughly
cleansed outside and inside. The glass
was then examined from all possible
angles. and the effects produced by tho
smoked surface was plainly apparent
There were lines and markings which
might have resemb bled anything. The
pilgrims continue to arrive, an excur-
sion train bringing quite a number yes

The newsboys, with muff1ers and

Michael Foerstel is short s63, 900 in his

A FRlGHTFUL WRECK. 4


Rear-End Collision on the Great North.
ern Railroad-Eight Men Killed and
Five Wounded-Three of the Victims
Burned so BADLY that Nothing but the

Blame.
ALEXANDRIA, Mimi, Dec. 19.-The
greatest wreck that ever took place on
the Great Northern occurred at Nelson,
a small station about six miles east of
here, at l o'clock yesterday morning.
The wreclzers stationed at this place
were clearing up small wreck that
occurred the night before, and after
finishing their work about 0 o'clock the
men went into the caboose ,and soon
fell asleep, expecting the wrecKer to
pull out for ST. Cloud. About1 o'clock
an east-bound freight came down the
long grade west of Nelson rand ran
right into the rear end Of the wrecker
at almost full speed. lo
All the men in the caboose were
killed except two, who escaped through
the window before the train caught
fire. Three men were gotten out from
the burning caboose, but were dead.
The rest of the bodies were not gotten
out until the aboose had burned up.
-Four of the bodies were found, but all
but one were so badly burned that
nothing but the bones remained

man was also badly hurt, having an
arm broken and shoulder dislocated.
One of the wounded ones was taken to
st. Paul, but died on the way
1t is pretty hard to lay the blame on
any single person in this case as the
conductors had orders to run in on the
side track at Nelson and the engineer
claims he tried to slack up 50 that they
could open the switch and get on the
side track, but not brakeman was out
on the cars, and being well loaded and
coming on a down grade it was inn
possible for him to do it alone and he
ran right down to the depotlwhere the
other train was standing and right
into it. The brakeman had no orders
from the conductor that they were 10

apply the brakes. The coroner and n

dreaming, perhaps, of Christmas feast
ings and Santa Claus
Arthur had not been dreaming long
when a low knock startled Mrs. Hill.
What could it mean? And she trem-
bled little as she walked to the door
and opened it.
A kind-faced man with merry blue
eyes was standing there; he had very
fat pockets, and sled in one hand and
a parcel in the other; and Mrs Hill
trembled more than ever, but from
quite another emotion than fear.
Mr.. Morris explained his errand; and
as he stepped into the room there was
sound Of other footsteps in the little
entry, but he shut the door and un-
loaded his pockets and laid his parcels
down.
my children sent these things to
Arthur" he said, laughing, as bags of
candy, nuts and raisins came out in
company with jumping jacks" and
picture books. ~ hope Arthur won't
be offended" and he drew little doll
from the depths of one pocket.
my children are all girls, and the
Youngest one looked so disappointed
when / suggested that doll was not
just the thing for boy that I con-
cluded to bring it along"
Mrs. Hill had hardly spoken; her
eyes required great deal of attention,
and her lips had an overmastering
tendency to tremble; Mr.. Morris, to
relieve her, looked as little as possible
in her direction.
But finally there was an end to
apples and oranges, toys. strings of
popcorn and candy, and the rest of his
errand must be accomplished so clear
ing his throat, and looking hard at the
ceiling, he said:
MY wife thought the incest thing
for the mother would be ton of coal
and barrel of flour"
Poor Mrs Hill-poor Mr.. Morris! for
it was almost as trying for one as the
other; he walked to the window and
examined the frost-work; it was SO
thick and fine that he glanced at the
stove next, and then at the empty wood
box and scuttle The table, with its
dim light, row of spools and scissors,
with the unfinished coat in the chair,
told the story plainly.
Mrs. Hill looked up at last, and tried
to thank him; and Mr.. Morris said how
happy they had all been in answering
Arthur's letter; and he looked so happy
as he said it, that no one could have
doubted him. Then he opened the
door and man set large basket in
side and went away directly.
Il shall see you again. Mrs. Hill,
and hope you and Arthur will both
have very merry Christmas. Good
night" and he had gone before Mrs.
Hill could speak. He went directly to
a coal dealer and ordered a bag OF coal
and basket of wood sent at once, and
did not leave the place until he had
seen them on their way.
Mrs. Hill was still sitting in the chair
where Mr.. Morris had left her when
the heavy step of the men with the
coal and wood, and their loud knock at
the door, reused her from her revere
The first thing she did after they had
gone was to make rousing fire. how
