disastrous explosion occurred on board
the German armor-clad steamship Baden at
Kiel Lieutenants Oelsner and Zembsch
and seven seamen were killed and seventeen
persons were wounded.
Some of the men had just removed from
the magazine a grenade measuring twenty
six centimetres in diameter. Through some
cause not yet explained the grenade ex-
ploded, killing or wounding nearly every
person In the immediate vicinity.
The Baden Is a vessel of $500 tons. She
was launched In 1880. She mounts eight
large guns. and her armor is ten inches
thick at the water line. Prince Henry, of
Prussia, Emperor Williams brother, and
Vice-Admiral Schroeder were standing to-
gether on the bridge at the time of the ex-
plosion. They ran to the scene of the acci-
dent and Prince Henry did much to assist in
relieving the wounded.

Ex-Vice-Presfdent Morton Suffers a
Great Loss at Rhinebeck.
The large barn on ex-Vice-President Levi
P. Morton's place at Ellerslie, near Rhine
beck, N. Y, was burned at o'clock a.
M, with the chicken house, carpenter shop
and other buildings. Nine horses. eighty
head of Guernsey cattle, several hundred
tons of hay, number of reapers and NOW
ing machines, and other valuable property
were consumed. The total loss will be near
ly $500. 600
The barn was one of the largest in the
country, being SEQ feet long. 1t was new
one, having been completed but few months
ago. The old barn was burned about a year
ago. The fire started in the large barn. The
cause is not known, but it is thought to have
been of incendiary origin. There have been
several incendiary fires lately in Dutchess
County, at wappinger Falls, Channyville,
and other places.

whether the Secretary of the Treasury has
not exceeded his authority in refusing TO
purchase 4. SOC, 900 ounces of silver in July
as provided by the Sherman law.

and Discussing Remedies

At the regular monthly meeting Of ths Chris
tian League for tho Promote OF Social Purity.
last week. Mrs. L. j. Grannis reviewed the
work OF this organization. which was chnr-
tered as a national society In 1889. The aim
OF the league Is to establish single standard
Of purity. or to secure for men and boys the
same measure OF chastity that Is required for
women and girla As the chief means In So
curing this standard. she said. women must
be freed from that sense OF dependence
! upon men for financial aid and So
cial position which becomes tempta-
tion to wrong doing. In the attempt
to elevate public opinion respecting the
claims or personal purity Mrs Grannis ac-
knowledged the valuable assistance and CO.
operation Of the public press in the suppress
sion OF vice and the development OF universal
chastity. and she added that "the society has
now four bills before the Legislature: the to-
bacco bill designed to prevent the giving or
sale OF tobacco to minors by prison authori-
ties; also tho bill providing that any person
convicted Of breaking the seventh command
ment should be imprisoned for not less than
one year and fined not less than $1,000. There
is no law IN New York against this offence. and
the only alternative is to sue for divorce. which

The great purpose Of the society is to teach
the right OF every child to the counsel and
companionship Of Its iather the same as that
Of Its mother. under whatever circumstances
it may have been forced into existence.
whether 1t be born to u legitimate father or
mother or not. and to teach the enormity OF
the sin In illegitinate fatherhood which de-

And In conclusion. speaking Of the case OF
the recently condemned wife murderer. Mrs.
Grannis said: The highest Christian civil
ization may learn much from the Oriental
Governments. II men are fitted to render
safer and better service aseunuchs in Oriental
countries. why not adopt this most needed

formation for certain criminals who may then
