Christmas Disaster.

Asheville, N. c., Dec. 25.-Forty peo-
pie were seriously injured here today
by the explosion of can of powder
while firing cannon on the outskirts
of town. A scene was presented that
made sick the hearts of those watching
from a nearby hill. In the smoke that
arose from. the explosion they saw
human beings run blindly here and
there over hill, falling and rising,
only to fall again as they rushed fran
tically about, blinded and powder
burned, madly trying to extinguish
their flaming clothes. Those who
were unhurt ran to the aid of the un-
fortunate ones, smothering the fam
ing clothing or cutting the garments
from their bodies. One man was
blown or rolled completely down the
high bluff, 200 feet nearly, to the
river.
The people in the neignborhood ran
to the scene, and the work of giving
assistance to the injured began. The
hill was dotted with blaclSened groan-
ing figures, some OF whom lay almost
perfectly nude. A number of the in
jured were able to walk from the
scene, while cots were provided and
gentle hands placed the more seriously
wounded on them and conveyed them
to an old house which served as an i'm
provised hospital, Several OF them
will die.

CROWN OFFERED BRYAN.
Invited to Desert silver and Lead n United
Democracy.


Washington, Dec. 27.-Democratic
politics have been little agitated the
past few days by an editorial which
appeared in the New York World, ac-
knowledging the leadership of Bryan
and asking him to abandon silver and
lead united democracy on plat
form based ON the mistakes of the ad-
ministration.
These it sums up as the Dingley de-
felt, the so-called pension excesses, the
Hawaiian job and the immunity of
trusts and monopolies, 1t also calls
the recent exercises of Presidential
clemency the Outrageous wholesale
pardoning of bankwreckers
The World then de fends the present
monetary system as a distinctly Amer
lean scheme of finance, and says it is
extraordinary that a man gifted as
Bryan is, with SO many qualities OF
leadership, should persisteuly look
backward rather than forward, instead
of taking his rallying cry from the lip,
of the people.
1t then declares that the gold Demo
cratic movement is dead, and urges
Bryan to come forward as the leader o.
the party in the next campaign, 1t is
an offer of crown at the price o.
treachery to the silver cause.

FALL OF A FOREST MoNAHcr
Saving Down q Giant Pine Tree In the
Minnesota Woods.

Minnesota Woods.
I had my eye on a grand old pine
standing a little way from any of his
fellows, a monarch in the forest It
must have been hundred and forty
feet, perhaps more, from the topmost
point in its glossy green coronai down
to the dead goldenrod in the snow at
Its base. II was about three feet in
diameter at the ground, so tall, so
strong, so straight, a noble tree in
deed, in very truth king of the for
est. 1t was the result of the life
which dwelt in the tiny black, winged
seed which was lost to view more than
century and half before. While
| was admiring the splendid proper
tions of the tree three men came to-
ward me. One was a bright eyed fell
low, short of stature and swarthy OF
skin, looking like one OF the Chippewa
Indians whose home this forest had
been nobody knows how many centu-
ries. He looked the tree over sharply.
stepping to this side and to that, eyed
1t critically from various points OF
view, and then with a small, sharp
AK cut keen cash in the trunk about
foot above the top of the dead gold
enrod In the snow. He was an under
cutter a man whose business 1t Is to
cut into the tree on the side on which
1t should fall, so that 1t may not be
broken in the fall, or lodge in the
crotch of another tree. The cut on the
side of the tree is the guide for the
sawyers. The other men, bearing a
big saw, began cutting down the pine.
saving steadily and powerfully
through the fragrant yellowish- white
trunk Now and then the undercutter
would step up to them to see how
they were progressing. When their
saw had passed the heart OF the pine
he placed a small bright steel wedge
in the path of the saw and drove II
in. Look out there. nowg' came the

Greece in the Past and Present.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Time works enormous changes. In
the days of Pericles, Athens, toward
which all eyes are now directed, held
most of the Greek islands a tributaries.
The mainland was divided between sew
eral independent but jealous and hostile
states. Athens, with her maritime su-
premacy, her art, architecture and liter
ature, was envied and more or less
hated by them after all. After various
fortunes she with the other states of
Greece, fell under the sway of the Mace
donian empire. That empire was over
thrown by the Romans; and at last amid
the successive changes of war and
peace, Greece, with considerable por-
ton of Southeastern Europe, was con-
quered by the Turks. That event Oc-
Cured about five centuries ago-A. ID.
1853 1860.
Now; after the lapse OF ages, when
her earlier eonquerors have disappeared
and her latest conquerors have fallen
into decay, Greece, under a constitu-
tional king, reappears in the theatre of
affairs; and who shall say that out of
the tumult which is perplexing the
powers she may not enlarge her do
miniOn both on land and sea, regain
Crete and the Aegean and IOnian
islands and becomc a great and power
full state? Ii is true thIt the jealousy,
the ambition and territorial greed of
the powers would stay her march and
prevent her acquisition of any consid-
erable portion of Turkey proper. Rms
sia, standing at the gateway with fleet
and army, would demand the lions
share of the spOils. Nevertheless, in
case of a successful war, Greece would
necessarily enlarge her boundaries. The
Greeks number about 6,000,000. They
are not, to be sure, all included within
the limits of Greece. They are seat
tered. Some live on the islands, some
in Turkey, in Macedonia aud other
parts of the world But they are very
proud of their historic land, and with
patriotic ardor will enlist under its
banner and fight in its cause.
The Greeks of to day can hardly be
called the defendants Of the Greeks Oi
the classic ages. The waves ofconquest
have swept over their land, and the
mingling of the blood of various races
in successive ages has left but an infin.
itesimal residue Of pure Greek blood in
their veins; but the soil of Greece, the
air, the mountains, the seas that wash
her shores are all conducive to intellect
ual energy, and the progress which heI
sons have madsSinee relieved of the
Turkish yoke shows their quality and
suggests future full of hope.
Commerce ard commercial enterprise
are heritage and an instinct of the
Greek. In the earliest history of the
country as honest merchants or daring
pirates he was abroad in all the seas.
Even Homer, it is said, was probably
"a considerable shareholder in the joint
stock privateers from Tenedas" Let
Greece realize her aspirations; let her
become possessed by the Grek islands;
let her boundaries become enlarged en-
the mainland, and she would, without
doubt, develop into a maritime state
that would be the leading factor in the
commerce of the Mediterranean. All
generous hearts must wish her godspeed
in her present endeavors and in her
future hopes.
