was a man so gentle In his nature and sin

about thirty. The chorus will meet for
practice every Monday afternoon, in h
Bergen School, while the regular musicals
wiz take place every second and fourth
Monday OF each and every month.
There is one popularity about this club,
and that is every member must be musi-
cal, not merely from a sense Of hearing,
but an artist In her Hne. whether vocal
or Instrumental. This is the first requis-
fte for membership. and In consequence
some of the best talent IN the city is to

THAT RESPONSIBILITY.

The HERALD has not found fault with
the conduct OF the war, as stated by the
HoQuiam Washingtonian on the coz
trarv its files show that ever since war
seemed inevitable it has approved the
course OF the administration in its con-
duct. and expects to continue to. What
it did find fault with, and what it does
condemn is the fact that this unneces-
sarv war was brought on by the refusal
of Mr.. Mckinley to recognize the bellig'
erencv OF the Cubans, months ago as de-
mandcd in the platform Upon which he
WAS elected. and as demanded by tie
Republican congress which met imme-
diately after his election.
For thus placing the responsibility for
the war where it belongs the Herald has
no defense ol apology to make. " to lis

kindly to being accused OF not telling the
truth but it either wiliullv ihisrepresents
OF else is grossly careless about the state
ments it makes. Another instance &C.

Mckinley coming into power with de-
pleted treasury, when as matter oil fact
Mr.. Cleveland left about $3.50, 900 900
there, though he did borrow it, which is
more than there was in the treasury even

sAWDUST EXPLOSIONS.

Who ever heard of sawdust explosions? They are common enough in Canada. Navigation on the Ottawa River has been seriously impeded at times by explosions of sawdust and the Dominion Govern ment has at last decided to take steps to prevent any practice which will enhance the possibility of these explosions taking place. One would hardly suppose that sawdust dumped intol the river would in course of time reform itself into gas generator which would keep the surface of the stream in a constant state of up- heaval. But 1t is true to such an extent that small boats have been capsized and large vessels have been injured by the submarine convulsions.
 The bottom of the Ottawa River is cov- cred with deep layer of sawdust dumped there by the lumbermen who have carried on their log cutting indus try on it's banks and tributaries for years The dust becoming water-soaked, sinks to the bottom, and in the course of time. rots and generates highly explos- i've gas The latter rises to the surface, each bubble being joined or reinforced by other bubbles on the way up. Contact with air seems to be as destructive as touchfre to this gas, and the moment the surface is reached 1t explodeS with loud report Legislation may in time do away with the annoyance, but even if no more dust is thrown into the stream hence- forth, the millions of tons already there will take a long time to work off their gas generating qualities.

N and out, with shining threads, H girl wove a beautiful castle in Spain.
 The wool was imagination, and the
 warp was fantasy, and in her dream
 hours she but rubbed her Aladdin's
 lamp, and To! she stood beside her Palace Beautiful.
 But the castle had an uncomfortable habit of crumbling to pieces in the glare of the sunlight. Sometimes after a long days work she could not gather up the broken threads. and as the months grew into years, in the face of stern reality, the genie of the lamp de- serted her. and she relegated her castle in Spain to the cobwebbed pigeon hole in her memory, where it gathered dust along with her lost belief in Santa Claus and the good fairies.
 From morning until night she sat in the telephone office at the Palace Hotel, performing the duties of central" |" She was known to the world" as the pretty hello" to his wife as Miss Sadie Holmes, to the little office boy who de- livers the messages to the guests of the hotel she was plain Sadie
 One day last week Dame Fortune rang up this particular central and hello! Miss Sadie Holmes of San Fran cisco was called Lady Sarah Brother ton, owner of a real castle in Wales.
 From her modest little home on steep Lombard street hill to ancestral halls in Wales is a more daring leap than she had ever taken in her widest flights of ina gination, and most people would have grown dizzy at the very thought, but Miss Holmes takes to her new title as though it was any ordin- ary telephone call.
