A Lock of His Hair.

A venerable white haired clergyman
recently preached in the parish Of a
friend He had hardly got back to the
vicarage from the church when the door
bell rang and charming girl of IS
asked TO see him. He received her.
They talked about the sermon and other
things until finally she asked diffident-
ly:
''Oh, won't you please give me lock
of your hair?'
Certainly, my child, said the old
gentleman, fattered at the request.
F'I'H send it to you tomorrow. and he
did.
On his return to his own home he
had five more requests Of the same kind,
and he proudly boosted to his wife that
he was glad to see that he had net yet
lost his power to please. All went well
until his wife received this note:
''Dear Mrs. -, won't you please
ask your husband to send me just lit
tie lock of his hair? We have all been
taking lessons in making hair flowers.
So many of the other girls asked him
and he sent it to them-that thought
would rather ask you to get it for me.
Won't you please do this for me? It is
SO hard to get white hair fer lilies of
the valley.
This was terrible blow, and the less
now said about locks of hair in that old
gentleman's presence the better.

EXPLOSION OF BENZOL.
Sends Two Persons to Eternity and Badly
Hurts Three Others.

Philadelphia, April 26.-By the explo-
sion of seventy-five gallons of benzol in
the laboratory of Frank H. Fleer &, Co.,
manufacturers of chewing gum at 2343
and 2345 Callowhill street yesterday,
two men were killed, three persons Sc
riously injured and over a score of 9TH
ers more or less hurt by flying debris.
The dead are Walter ManWaring, as
sistant superintendent, and Charles Nc
Kinley, engineer. Of those injured Har-
ry Randall an employe, and Mrs. Civil
son and her 1-year-old child are the
most seriously hurt, but they will re-
cover.
No less than 100 buildings in the vicin-
ity most of them very small dwellings,,
were damaged. The laboratory building
was two-story structure. At the time
of the explosion there were only four
men working in the building with the
benzol. and the fumes from the benzol
in some manner reached the furnace in
the next room and the explosion in
stantly followed.

MarIxSInen In Battle.

The story Of what marksmen can do
in battle is written in red letters all
over the history of war, remarks the
Boston Herald. The famous English
archers whose cloth yard shafts won so
many fights at desperate odds against
the mail clad knights of France the
embattled farmers whose deadly aim
was so fatal on the Lexington road and
the slopes of Bunker Hill, the grim
slaughter which broke Pakenham' S
veteran regiments at New Orleans-all
are proofs in point. Later evidence of
the value of straight shooting is afford
ed by that strange war in which the
Dutch Beers won the mi-independence
which they now enjoy.
In this contest there was on one side
a burgher force with slight pretensions
to discipline, and none at all to drill,
and on the other side British force,
hardened in battle and trained to the
perfection of soldiership, yet the Beers
were victorious in every encounter on
the field What is the explanation?
Why, simply this: The Beers were splen-
did lnarksmen, who knew how to make
every shot tell, while the British were,
comparatively speaking, mere MASTERS

The Elder Got the Best One.

An account of the life of Judge James
3. Bradwell of Chicago by his daugh-
ter tells story of the deeply religious
training Of his childhood He had the
old fashioned faith in the efficacy of
prayer before he was of sufficient age
to understand the reasonable limits Of
s.ch petitions.
Once, when James was only years
old, the wagon was sent to Chicago for
provisions. Five days elapsed. The
wagon was detained, and the Bradwell
family was without food and without
man to provide it, Little James, as
usual with even small boys of the time
and place. was a good shot. His mother
loaded the gun for him, and he started
out to see what he could shoot to sup
ply the table.
In due time he saw two prairie chick
ems not far away. He got his gun ready
and then took long enough to pray
5hus:
80 Father, if you will just let me
bring down those two chickens I'll give
your minister the choice of the pair!'
The trigger was pulled and down
came the two prairie chickens James
believed the shot to be direct answer
to his prayer. He took the two birds to
Elder Snow, the minister, and told him
of the circumstances.
The good elder took long time to
examine the two chickens in order to
be quite sure that he got the better of
the two, because, he said, he thought
it best that the boys compact should
be faithfully carried out.

marriage.
When the father Of the groom heard
Of it he at once investigated the affair
and found that the couple had been
married by a Roman Catholic priest.

Quay's Success Will Let in Three Others
Philadelphia, April 22.-Senator Quay
was acquitted yesterday of the charges
brought against him and the verdict
vas enthusiastically received by the
many friends of the senator who were
in and about the court. The jury orig
inally stood 10 to 2 in favor of acquittal,
and it took all the time to bring about
a change of heart in these two. The
news had not more than reached Har-

Quay United States senator to fill the
vacancy till the next legislature meets.
One View from Washington.
Washington, April 22.-The action of
Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania, in ap
pointing Matthew S. Quay to succeed
himself in the United States senate is
for moral effect solely. The cOnstitu
ton of the state not only does not con-
fer upon the governor the appointing
power, but almost in terms prohibits
such action and provides that only the
legislature can fill a vacancy. To the ex-
tent of his ability however, Governor
Stone gives Quay official Endorsement
and offers testimony of his confidence
in the loyalty to his old friend.
Precedents Against the Governor.
Recent United States senate prece-
dents are against the seating of a SEN
ator appointed by a governor after the
failure Of a legislature to elect, even
though the power of the governor to ap
point is undisputed. The recent prece-
dents were established by Democratic
votes, however, and were a reversal of
the old senate policy. 1t is now in the
power Of the Republicans, who have a
clear majority of sixteen over a COM
bined opposition, to do another revers-
ing act and return to the old practice
of recognizing the validity of guberna-
torial appointments under circum-
stances that now obtain in Pennsylva-
