Tabernacle, Causing n Panic.
 FoRT WORTH, Tex, April 22.-All of Texas has needed rain, so the great evangelist, Dwight Moody, called upon his audience of 5000 Christians to pray fervently that the floodgates might be opened. This was at 3 p. m. yesterday. At night when the Tabern acle was crowcd by 10000 people from Fort Worth and surrounding cities, Mir. Moody announced that word had come from several points that rain had fallen. few minutes later the storm burst on Fort Worth and torrents of rain fell.
 Then Mir. Moody gave thanks to God and called upon the congregation to ion in singing Coronation" and "All Hail the Power of Jesus Name, Let Angels Prostrate Fall" The song had surged forth from 10000 voices, when a cracking noise was heard and then the roof sank and the rafters gave way and the heavy timbers and boards GOV cred with tar and gravel came down on a portion of the congregation.
 There was panic. Scores upon scores of women tainted, some men lost their heads and piled pell-mell over those near them. Mr. Moody grasped the situation-and, moving to the middle of the platform, lifted both hands to heaven moving his arms slowly to and fro. His attitude and coolness stopped the panic and men began to go to work to rescue those in danger. A drenching rain was falling, but they worked hard and the wounded were soon taken out and carried to their homes or to the houses nearby. About forty persons were slightly

ANOTHER PENSION DECISION.
The Secretary of the Interior Rules on the
 10-Year-Old Clause.

The Secretary of the Interior Rules on the 16-Year-Old Clause.
 WASHINGTON, April 1s.-A decision has been rendered by the secretary of the interior involving the right to pension aon claims filed by persons after attaining their 10th year for or on account of whom no claim had been made during the period of their pen sionable minority as children of a soldier who had died from causes originating in the service and the line of duty. This decision is of great importance in solv- ing great number of pend- ing or rejected claims, and is based on a construction giving to the proviso in the limitation of an act of March 3, 1879, in which it is, in substance, pro- vided that pensions shall commence from the date of application, unless the application be filed prior to the first day of July, 1880, but that its linn itation shall not apply to claims by or in behalf of insane persons and chil- dren under l6 years of age.
 The secretary in his decision holds that the clause children under 16 years of age" is descriptive of a class of claims, the title to which accrues to the claimant by reason of being under the age of l6 at the death of the father from causes originating in the service and line of duty, and the claims of that class are excepted from the limi- tation act of March 3, 1879, and are not forfeited by neglect to file the applica- tion during the period of questionable minority.

 caragua situation.
 WASHINGTON, April 20.-Officials and diplomats regard the answer of Lord Kimberly to Nicaragua as bringing the British h-Nicaraguan question to a critical stage. The ultimatum ex- pired two days ago. Under these circumstances it is considered set tied that Great Britain will now proceed to collect the debt, as it is viewed from the British stand point. The fact that Great Britain's s exercise of force will not be exerted so as to affect the United States inter- ests is indicated by the fact that neither the state department nor Sir Julian Pauncefote has been notified of Lord Kimberly's response. It is said such notification would be given if United States interests were to be even re. motely impe:iled.

SENSITIVE MODELS.
Publication of "Trilby'' caHses Some to
Resign From the Profession.

Publication of 'Truby'' canses Some to
Resign From the Profession.
Women models have always been a
little sensitive about their profession,
says q writer in the Boston Herald, and
since "Trilby" has been the favorite
topic Of studio gossip some of the best
of them have felt that sensitiveness in
crease and have declined to pose for the
nude. Child models who have been in
the profession since before they could
walk have been forbidden to enter stu
dios, while women who have supported
their families by posing have refused to
mount the model stand.
Miss Arabella Gold, who is known as
famous figure model to the best New
York artists, has recently sent in a pub
lie resignation from the profession.
She wrote to one of the leading New
York papers requesting that it publish
the fact that she would never again
pose for the figure. Miss Colds resig-
nation is decided loss to the artists
She is said to have one of the most ex-
quisitely formed figures in the world.
OF late she has been posing for num-
Der of Sarony's living pictures. In one of
the most celebrated of these she repre-
sents an almost perfect facsimile of the
famous painting, Psyche. "
Many models whose forms have here
tofore been prominent features in the
portrait exhibitions declare that they,
too. will renounce the business entirely.
1t is not that they object to posing nude,
they claim. but the notoriety which en-
harnesses their profession has become
intolerable since the publication.
The majority of models interviewed
have not read the book. but claim that
Trilby, whoever she was, has seriously
degraded the profession. Some spoke OF
her as a New York model guilty OF
some despicable crime. Others believed
her to be q reformer.

TO dinner before the lecture, inviting

the host, the two guests and four or five
boys that had been specially favored by
being asked to meet the big author. At

why, we didn't expect you, but do
