FATE'S ANSWER.

The dance is done; 1t is nearly dawn;
Alone stand In the darkened hall.
The snow has covered the rolling lawn,
And over 1t rosy shadows fall.
A golden streak lights the eastern sky,
While the distant hilltops faintly show;
And the world seems cold; but, ah! not l;
My heart is warmed with loving glow.
The hoar frost has tipped the window pane
With tracing delicate and fine.

ing. moved to Lawrenceburg, Ind,
where he died in 1884. The portrait,
badly damaged, comes from Lawrence
burg. Ind, through Robert Clarke &
Co., Cincinnati. o. Its genuineness is
satisfactorily certified, and is further
proven by comparison with a
steel engraving which appears in
the report of his explorations, pub
lished in 1910. After the purchase of
Louisiana from the French, Lieut.. Pike
was appointed 10 conduct an expedition
to trace the Mississippi to its source,
and leaving St. Louis Aug. 9. 1895, he
was out nine months, principally in
Wisconsin and Minnesota, locating
streams, lakes and other typographical
features of the upper Mississippi. In
1S06-7he was III Colorado and the South
west, locating the Platte and its source
near the highest peak of the Rocky
mountains. which afterwards was
named for him, surveying the Rio
Grande region. etc. In 1897 he was
taken prisoner by the Spanish in New
Mexico, but was soon released, and until
the beginning of the War of 1912
mas mainly engaged on his reports.
which, as before stated, were published
in 1910. The portrait is of value from a
local historical standpoint, and the
state historical society was exceedingly
fortunate in obtaining 1t.

appointment of Victor Robertson was
in the interest of Mr.. Mast, the senior
partner of the firm, who is a man OF
considerable means, Mr.. Mast having
agreed to make up salary of

Commissioner Powers, of the labor bu-
reau, recently visited Boston and New
York, and sat at the feet of Carroll D.
Wright. whose fame has extended to
all lands where men and women labor.
The special pursuit of Mr.. Powers was
to trace wheat from the bands of the
producer in Minnesota to the consumer
III England, and learn wha. measure of
profit goes into the hands of each per
son who comes in contact with it. Re.
CARELESS of who is hurt, or who may be

all shipments of products from stations
within this state along their respective
lines. This will enable the commits
sioner to show what localities in the
state are diversifying their crops and
the general results. AT the agricultural
society meeting early in the week it
was assumed that the southern part of
the state was in much-better shape than
the northern part, because the north
confines its attention to wheat, while
the south diversities. And yet only a
few years ago, in 1867 and 1875, the
southern part, now so well-to-do, called
upon the state for food and seed.

The question of child labor was the
one absorbing question at the office of
the commissioner of labor yesterday.
Deputy Valesh says he has been mis-
quoted in the matter of his testimony
before the grand jury. He is notin the
work of that part of the bureau which
could have given information in rela.
ton to the subject inquired into. Mr..
CasSerly was the person who could have
given the information desired, and he
was called. but not examined The in-
formation in the possession of Mr.. Pow
ers is of general character. while
CaSserly made the inspections. and knew
WHAT the f fac.: .:yere. Powers was not
examined on the points he couiu rave
shed light on, and. as before stated,
Casserly, the competent witness, was
not examined.
Commissioner Powers says: At Or
binary work in factory or other place
child of any age may be employed, if
they are not called upon 10 work more
than ten hours. If in connection with
dangerous machinery the child must
not lbs under fourteen. Where parents
misstate the age of their children, they
cannot prosecute successfully Cor dam
ages which may result to the child.
The parent or guardian. however, can
be successfully prosecuted if they per-
NIT child under age to work unlaw-
fully. The commissioner regards these
features in the light of one law for the
rich employer and another for the poor
parent who seeks employment for his
child.
The bureau has given attention first
to the more glazing evils in the matter
of child labor at factory work. En-
ployers have shown commendabIe in
terest in adopting devices and adapting
machinery with view to guarding
against accidents. The bureau has
urged with good effect the employment
of only the older children in the more
dangerous employments. A few have
rested within the letter of the law. con-
ceding nothing beyond statutory re-
quirements. About three-fourths of the
factories have complied with the hours
of employment. Others probably will
when their attention is directly called
by the inspectors to the matter.
In the district messenger service the
larger and older boys have been
assigned to the later hours, and there
has been a substantial compliance with
the law without hardship to any one.
Letters are about to be sent to the stores
employing labor within the protection
of the law, and the results desired are
likely to be realized at once. Mr.. Pow
ers is not disposed to enforce rigidly the
laws against parents where he cannot
reach the rich employer or the powerful
corporation under the same statute.
There are few violations in factories In
Minnesota. and he so Informed the
grand jury. In other cases he was not
asked or did not have evidence to SUBJ
init. Good, he thinks, will certainly
result from the charge made by Judge
Willis. but the subject ought to receive
further investigation by the grand jury.

TWO men SERIOUSLY HURT
~ AN EXPLOSION At THE PORTLAND
6LGcK Yesterday
Fsora ARE BADLY BURNED


Plumbers Furnace. Bu rning Gas

Burns George n. keeS and
Eugene Weynandt - Heavy
Partition Moved a Foot and
$500 Of Property Destroyed.
George A. KEGS. proprietor of plumb
ing establishment at 473 Broadway, and
Eugene Weynandt, journeyman
plumber at the same place. were Sc
verely injured yesterday afternoon by
the explosion of plumbers furnace.
Shortly after l o'clock the attention
of the occupants of the Portland block
was attracted by the sound of terrific
explosion. and moment later the
large glass windows i'll the front of the
store in the block occupied by KEGS fell
to the pavement. simultaneously with
the crashing of the glass two men were
seen TO enlerge from the door of the
shop with their clothing on fire. One
OF the men threw himself into neigh
boring snow-baIk, aud Il second later
thetwain ran to the office of DR.. Benepe,
at the corner of Seventh and Broad
way.
The explosion was caused by the
bursting of a plumbers furnace, which
KEGS held in his hands. The furnace
was something entirely different from
the style used i'll other shops, the article
being an invention of KEGS and one
which lie had experimental with for
tks. rNf tl,n In
sion the furnace WAS held by KEGS,
and Weynandt stood Immediately i'll
front of his employer. Suddenly the
furnace. made of copper, which con-
tained about quart Of gasoline, eX-
ploded, throwing the burning fluid over
the lace and head of Wevnandt and also
KEGS. The force of the explosion Was
built across the store nearly a foot and
also TO force out the large plate glass
windows in front of the storeroom.
Weynandt was burned more severely
than KEGS, the hole in the furnace from
which the burning fluid passed out
being directly in front of him. and the
he Ited liquid striking him full in the
face. HIS hands, face and neck were so
badly burned that the flesh was shriv-
eled. KEGS was also severely burned
about the face and neck. DR.. Benepe
dressed the burns, and the injured men
were taken to the residence of KEGS at
334 Thirteenth street. Their injuries.
while severe and painful, are not con-
sidered to be fatal. The stock in the
store was damaged to the extent Of $500,
the force of the explosion knocking
down and breaking a number of eXpen-
siYe bowls and utensils.

Her Husband Says she Is Slightly
Derapged.
Mrs. Theresa Cook was arrested By
the police last evening at the wine room
of the Woodbine saloon, on East Seventh
street. The arrest WIS made on informa-
ton given by the woman;S husband,
Albert Cook, who is employed as driver
for HorejS Bros bakery. Mr.. Cook left
her husbands house, on Randolph
street, week ago, and up to last night
search for her was made withOuS sue
cess. Last evening her husband saw
two women on Seventh street whom
he thought wonId know something
about his Wife's whereabouts, and,
stopping them, learned that she was
at the saloon mentioned. Secur-
ing the services of couple
of officers, the woman was
taken in custody. Mrs. Cook,
her husband says, has been slightly de
ranged for over year. In February
last, while the couple resided Oh Cay
uga street, she poured quantity of oil
over her clothing and set fire to her
garments. Tne fire was extinguished
by ner husband, but she was badly
burned, and for some time she was
obliged to remain at the city hospital.
Last week Cook filed information of in
sanity against her, and after she was
taken to the station last night she was
removed to the county Jail. The couple
have been married about two years and
have no children At tho time che eet

formed the police she wanted to burn
herself, but her actions in the last week
would indicate she intended to drink
herself to death.
