OF the Nnro-GIyeerIne Explosion.

PIrTsBURGH. Ps.. Dec. 24.-Reports have
reached this city OF a slight shock OF earth
quake at Bedford, 100 miles east Of Pittsburgh.
Details are rather meagre, but II has been
ascertained that the shock occurred at 30 T..
NJ. and lasted only few seconds. Windows
were ratified, clocks stopped. and people could
feel the earth tremhle under their feet
The fact that at the very moment when the
shock occurred there was an explosion of
nitro glyeeTine at Willow Grove. in the Me-
Donald field, has led many to believe that the
disturbance was the result Of the explosion.
As Bedford 10 SO far distant and the Aleg hany
Mountains lie between 1t and Willow Grove.
such hypothesis is hardly tenabls.

The Financial Cyclone.

The desperate condition which
now exists in the business of the
country is forcibly show by the
failures which have taken place with
in the last nine months as published
by Bradstreet. They are greater in
number and liabilities than at any
time previous in the history Of the
country, amounting to IL, ,l74. with
liabilities aggregating 1924 0S7,77
If this ratio of failures of business
houses and firms continues to the
end of the present year they will ag.
gregate 1867, with liabilities
amounting to $405, ,1U9.7l4. This
devastating storm of bankruptcies
has swept the country, veritable.
financial cyclone, laying many of the
oldest, most substantial and honestly
conducted houses in the country in
ruins, while the great millionaire
combines and trust concerns gather
up the wreckage, divide what ever is
convertible into cash, brush the
debris out of their way and take pos.
session of the business whose pro-
prietors have been destroyed by the
financial storm which was made to
order for this devastating purpose.
The artifcially made scarcity of
money and the hiding or locking
up from use is clearly traceable as
the cause of the wide spread ruin
which has afflicted every class except
the great debt holding millionaire
class who alone have profited by the
cyclone of ruin which is not nearly

more truth than fiction in it that
Grover Cleveland was so well pro-
vided for by the exploiting class
during the four years he lived among
them IN New York between his pre-
sidential terms that his income now
amounts to $l,000,O0O year. This

KNEW HER RIGHTS,
When They Included q Special Train,
Why, She Got the Special Train.

When They Included Special Train,
Why, She Got the Special Train.
Perhaps it is because she is colored
that Miss Lily May Tucker, professor
of the divine art of cookery at Quogue,
L. l., knows her civil rights. Anyway,
she obtained one of her rights where
strong men would merely have sworn
and walked. Wishing to go from
Quogue to Riverhead recently, by way
of Manor, to do some shopping, Miss
Lily asked for ticket by that route
The ticket was supplied to her and she
paid for it. Then she boarded the
train and arrived rapidly at Manor,
but was there informed that the train
which last summer ran from Manor to
Riverhead was not running this sea-
son. Right there Is where mere
white man would have made a feeble
exhibition of the inferiority of his
color and sex.
But Lily! She just looked over that
station agent and said:
''You mean it hasn't been running,
young man.. It's agoing to run, cause
I've got ticket that calls for nv
transportation from Manor to River
head and I'm going by that route,
Then she sat down on a bench and
let the station agent walk the plat
form. After awhile he went into his
Office and telegraphed something to
somebody. When he got an answer
he went out and looked at Miss Lilys
ticket. Then he telegraphed some
more, and some more was telegraphed
to him. Then he went cut again,
wiping his brow, and said that if Miss
Lily insisted upon going by the
route called for on her ticket a special
train would have to be made up to
carry her. Miss Lily made answer:
II amt a sisting; I'm just a waiting
here for that train what's going to
take me to Riverhead."
And the train was made up and Miss
Lily in her lonely majesty was trans
ported to Riverhead as per her ticket
