MANNED BY A BOMB.
A Boy Finds a Box of Anarchists Mis-
siles and Explodes One.

NEW YORK. March 10.-Joseph Hoffman,
aged eighteen, has been MANNED for life by
the explosion Of one of a box of bombs
which the police believe were made by An
archists and hidden in the sand lots of
Williamsburg until such time as they should
be wanted. The Hoffman boy and Charles
and Frank Oberly were playing in the lots
to-day. when they turned up the sand near
a massive bowlder and found a box con-
tanning six bombs. The Hoffman boy. be-
ing the Oldest, took charge of the find and
examined the bombs carefully. Young Hoff-
was about TO hurl it against a
bowlder. The other boys turned and ran
away. They had run about one hundred
feet when Hoffman hurled the bomb thirty
feet at n bOwlder. The result was disastrous.
The Oberly boys say they felt as though
the earth had opened under them, and when
they turned Hoffman was lying on the
All the skin of his hands and face was
peeled off and he had several decorations OF
the body and limbs. The police have the box
containing the five bombs, which are of tin
and oblong. About three months ago half q
dozen bombs were found in the lots. but
the police were unable to find the makers.
The district abounds In anarchistic societies,
and in the vicinity is the new home of Jo-
ham Most.
The police deny emphatically that the
boxes were Anarchist bombs. They allege
that the boxes must have been left by
wOrlmen in some Of the dirt that was after
ward dumped in Il vacant lot. There have
been no Anarchists in that section of Brook
lyn for two years, says Captain KitZer.

REASONS Why The STODDARD ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRI.
TANNICA IS TIE BEST

L. The Stoddard American Reprint of the encyclopaedia
Britannica, Ninth Edition, is the only reprint faithfully and
completely reproducing the original British work.
2 1t is the only reprint that is clearly printed on fine
paper with electrotype plates made from large, clear type, and
not from reduced Photographic plates on cheap paper, with
blurred uneven impressions, as are all other reprints of the
Encyclopaedia Britannica. .
3. 1t is the only reprint acknowledged by the agents of
the English publishers to be accurate and licensed"
f.. 1t contains more, larger and finer maps than any
other edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
8. 1t is the only edition that has been revised by a
staff of American scholars to point out discrepancies and err
rors in the original text; the only edition that has notes
and supplemental pages on American subjects; the only edi-
ton that, by means of foot notes, keeps the text complete to
date of present publication, and the only edition that sup
plies a cOpious and efficient index to the whole work.
g.. Thousands of dollars have been spent on the purely
literary work of revising this edition, adding new articles and
new maps, annotating and of supplying references to it, and
we are now Offering to the public a larger bulk of matter
and a finer quality of scholarship for less money than the
publishers of any other Encyclopedias whatever.
Therefore those who wish an accurate reproduction of
the Encyclopaedia Britannica with large additions and the
fullest reference apparatus at the lowest cost, should give
their orders for this superior edition.

CHICAGO, March 10.-Frank Cleue, of
Cincinnati, was robbed here to-day while
rushing to save children from a fire. Cleue
had stopped in Chicago to see the sights
on his way to the midwinter fair. He was
walking on West Madison street, near Clin-

rushed out from a hallway, exclaiming that
the house was on fire and her children were
in peril. Cleue rushed into the hallway
and turned around TO ask the young woman
which floor the fire was on. For answer
he received q stunning blow in the face
from the woman, who Snatched his pocket
book before he recovered from his surprise.
Then she ran out on the street, slamming
the door after her, and when Cleue reached
the door he found it locked by a spring
lock, leaving him a prisoner, while the
woman escaped. The fire and the children
were purely imaginary. Cleue will post

there are rumors IN circula ton that this

discovered a plot against the life of the
