THIRTY KILLED BY BOMBS.
Anarchists Throw Two Dynamite Bombs
Into n Crowded Theater.

AhfO NNO"NeN
The Liceo Theater, Barcelona, Spain,
was filed with a large audience, esti-
mated TO have numbered close on to
1000 people. While the performance
was proceeding two dynamite bombs
were suddenly hurled from one of the
galleries into the midst of the stalls on
the floor. One of the dynamite bombs
exploded with terrible report, which
shook the theater to its foundations
and which scattered death and destruc-
ton upon all sides. The second bomb,
happily, did not explode. The tern
fed crowd, fearing that another
bomb might be thrown into their
midst, completely lost all sense OF con-
troll, all regard for women and children
seemed to vanish and there was a
fierce, mad, hustling rush for the
doors, men and women fiercely fighting
with each other as they crushed weaker
ones beneath their feet in the effort to
escape, leaving the wounded and dy-
ing behind them.
When the wreckage was in some
deg zee cleared away there were found
16 dead bodies, of which seven were
those of men and nine the corpses of
women. Three bodies of those tram
pied upon were also found. Later
reports say: The second act of the
opera had just commenced when the
bombs were thrown. Fifteen persons
were killed instantly and Is others have
since succumbed. Eighty persons are
in a serious condition, some of them
from injuries and others from fright.
Maurice Doldani, an Italian, one of the
10 or 20 suspects arrested, has confessed
to throwing the bombs.

Judge Longs PensIon Case.

Commissioner of Pensions Lochren
has filed an answer in the mandamus
proceedings brought in the court of the
District of Columbia by Judge c. ID.
Long, of Michigan. The latter was
receiving pension of S72 per month,
which Commissioner Lochren sus-
pended on the ground that Judge
Long was not entitled TO total dis
ability pension. The commissioner
admits that Judge Long was legally
placed on the pension rolls but denies
that the certificate increasing the pen
sion to S72 was regular or lawful. In
defending the right of the commits
sioner to suspend pensions he asserts
that it has been the practice since 1919;
that the court has no jurisdiction, but
that the case could only be revisable
by the secretary of the interior; that
Judge Long receives pension for total
disability when he also draws salary
from the state of Michigan. He asks
that the case be dismissed.

senator. Pennsylvania is Republican by
10000. New Jersey is in the same
line and this means another Republi-
can senator. Kansas shows Populist
losses and big Republican gains. Vir-
ginia and Kentucky remain with the
Democracy. In other states the issues
and offices at stake were unimportant
and party gains cannot be given with
accuracy.

The semi-annual apportionment of

nounced. The total amount to be APP
portioned is S475, 900. The number of
school children in the state between
the age of and 20 is 675, OO6, but ow-
ing to forfeitures for not keeping the

made TO only 673, 1915. The amount is

PEOPLE OF MICHIGAN.
The State Report of the Condition OF
Crops.-Pharmacentica Examinations.
"A Fatal Hunting Accident.

Wheat sowing was delayed this fall
by the dry weather that prevailed
previous to the middle of September.
The rains that began on the 12th of
that month placed the ground in con-
dition that it could be worked, and
wheat was sowed from this time on
until near the middle of October. The
area sowed this year compared with
acreage sowed in 1892 is estimated as
follows: Southern counties, IS per
cent; central counties, n per cent;
northern counties, 81 per cent, and
state " per cent. The reduction in
area here indicated is not greater than
1t was reasonable to expect, and is due
in part to low price, and in part to the
dry weather. Wheat is doing fairly
well. 1t is small because late sowed,
but is yet growing, and but little dam
age has been done by insects. Com
pared with vitality and growth of
average years the average condition is
as follows: Southern counties, SO per
cent; central, 80 per cent; northern, %
per cent, and state 50 per cent.
Corn in the southern counties is
estimated to yield A bushels of ears
per acre, in the central 54, the north
ern 81, and the state AZ. The average
ylelu Oh corn IN the sIdIe lot u long
series of years is about so bushels of
ears.
The average of clover seed harvested
in the state is seven-tenths of an aver
age.
Potatoes are estimated to yield as
follows: Southern counties, "a per
cent; central, GO per cent northern, 6s
per cent, and state, 81 per cent of an
average crop.
The condition of live stock is rather
below the condition one year ago, the
averages, however, are all above 90
per cent.

Old Lace.

Many of our girls do not know why
old lace is SO much more valuable and
generally so much more beautiful than
new lace. The fact is, that the old
lace is all woven il lost patterns. 1t
is frequently as fine as a spiders film
and cannot be reproduced. The loss OF
patterns was a severe check to lace
making in France and Belgium, and
was occasioned by the French Revolu-
ton. Before that time whole villages
supported themselves by lace-making,
and patterns were handed down from
one generation to another. They were
valuable heirlooms, for the most ccle-
brated weavers always had as many
orders as they could execute in life
time, and they were bound by an oath
taken on the four Gospels to work only
for certain dealers. When the Reign
of Terror began, all work Of this kind
was interrupted for time. After the
storm had subsidized the dealers and
workers were far apart-some dead,
some lost, and some escaped to foreign
lands, and such of the women as re-
maided were bound by their oath 10
work for but one; and this oath, in
spite of Robespierre's doctrine, was
held by the poorest of them to be bind
ing, and there were instances where
they suffered actual want rather than
break their word. Some, however,
taught their children and their grand
children, and many patterns were in
this way preserved. Some Of the
daintiest and finest patterns were
never recovered, and to-day specimens
of these laces are known TO be worth
their weight in gold.
