Fatal EnpIo.ion In Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Sept. 12.-One man was killed and seven others seriously, some perhaps fatally, injured, and a number of others slightly hurt by the bursting of a four inch steam pipe at the Baldwin Locomotive works. The dead man is James Mulcahy, and the most seriously injured are Dennis Delaney, Andrew Burns, James Kelly, Harry McQuinn, Adolph Hoeschlsr, Patrick McConagle and James Smith. The accident occur red in the tender shop, and most of the victims arc stcamhtters who were en- gagged about the boilers, putting the fn- ishing touches on a device intended to do away with the smoke nuisance. All the injured men. including Mulcahy, were either scalded by escaping steam or burn ed by live coals which were blown out of the fire boxes of four boilers by the force of the explosion.

Five Thousand Dead.

Galveston, Sept. 12.-Mayor Walter C.. Jones estimates the number of dead at 5000, and he Is conservative. Over 2,300 bodies have already been taken out to sea or buried in trenches. Other hundreds are yet to be taken from the ruins. These bodies are now all badly decomposed, and they are being buried in trenches where they are found. Others are being buried in the debris where this can be done safe ly. There is little attempt at identifca- tion, and 1t Is safe to say that there will never be a complete list of the dead.

Athletics for GfrIs.
From the Boston Transcript.


The gymnasium work alone would hardly
account for the improved physical condition

with the system of rational athletics which
prevails at almost all these institutions it

down by oyerstudy and graduate with a.

her physique as to improve her mind. BIZ

HE CHANGED HIS, TOO.
For of Course She Could Not Know
His Taste.

Christmas stories are now ripe. Some are
true and some are not, but this one is a
fact, as a Connecticut avenue mother can
vouch- Her small son, aged about twelve
got her pretty. pocket book for Christ
mas present. She got him a handsome lit
tie Bible. On Christmas morning the son
presented the pocket book in his best style
and said: Mamma, a man can't choose
things for woman very well, so if the
pocket book isn't quite what you want just
change it, won't you?'
Mamma replied that while 1t was beau
tiful pocket book. there was another STYLE
that she liked better. and If her son did
not object she would change it for the one
she had seen few days before She made
the change. and so reported a day or two
later. The evening following she found
this note on her dressing table:
Dear Mamma: You changed your pres
ent because 1t didn't quite suit you and so
/ suppose You will accord me the same
privilege with mine. A Bible IS handy

Food for the Brain Workers.
From the Sanitary Record.

1t Is all right for the man who labors all
day in the open air to eat freely, but the
man Of sedentary habits, the brainworker,
must adapt his way of living to his needs.
He must be well nourished. for the brain is
incapable of good work unless well sup
piled with pure blood, but such man can
not possibly furnish vital force to digest
three large meals daily. If he tries 1t ma
ture will protest at every step. The chem
ical changes Of digestion will be imperfect
ly performed. The stomach will neither Sc
crete freely nor churn the food with cheer
full alacrity; the pyloric oridce contracts
and allows such chyme to pass with grudg-
ing reluctance; the intestinal lacteals are
ashamed to absorb such miserable pabu-
lum, which chokes, irritates and congests
them, so the large meal remains in the d.
gestive organs to ferment. putrefy and
steep the individual In foul gases and de-
PRAYED secretions.
But the system can furnish enough vital
force to convert a small meal into pabulum
Of high standard. which will be absorbed
without difficulty. Three such small meals
are not enough to keep the individual prop
erly nourished, however; four to six Will be
required. Each should consist of but one
or at most two articles Of food, the diet to
be varied by changes at meals. The por-
ton of food served must be small; the pa
tent must stop as soon as the appetite is
satisfied and gaseous distension is proof
positive that the meals are still too large or
too close together.

DEAR TO HIS HEART,
Even If the Dog Was Only Poor
Little Cur.


Say, mister don't you want to buy
dawg?"
The little ragged bunch of humanity was
study in ebony, and he looked UP plead
ingly into the face of the man whom he
had accosted 'Dog?" queried the man.
Il don't see any dog. I don't like to buy
things sight unseen"
"Oh. Use got i'm heah, all right, deed
has" asserted the little fellow, and he be-
gan to undo the various layers of old
coats about his body, evidently put on so
rents in the garment underneath Finally
he brought to light a little yellow cur half
starved and wholly worthless either for
use or beauty.
What do you want to sell him for?"
asked the man, smile beginning to creep
round the corners of his eyes.
We'll, you see. sub, Use had Bones a
good while, and thinks a heap of i'm. but
KANT get no license fur him, and now they
says got to tie up his mouf, SOS ne won't
bite you alls. Deed. mister, Bones never
bit nothin' in his life. He's a powerful
good dawg, an l jus KANT abear to see the
dawg ketcherS git I'm. an l thought if
could sell i'm to somebody who would he
good to i'm, like you ais. l might buy I'm
back in the summer" And he snuggled the
ornery little cur up under his rags to keep
him from shivering.
Then that man didn't do a thing but
trOt that little study in ebony off to buy a
license for the "dawg'' and a muzz!e, and
now he is safe from the .'dawg ketcher."

HER HEART IS ALL RIGHT,
It's to BE Hoped That She Gets Her
Trip After All.


The gift that demands bit of self-denial
yet carries with it hearty goodwill. is the
very best gift of all. A year ago there were
two young ladies' admitted to one of the
big government departments. One was the
daughter of a rich man and the other of a
poor mother, who needed the assistance of
her daughter. The rich mans daughter
wanted to earn money enough to take her
a three years tour of Europe. her father
believing she would be better fitted for it
if she earned a portion of the money for
the iaunt. The two girls became warm
friends. though one was born near the gulf
and the other in the far north. The daugh-
ter of the north pinned for her mother and
her health failed visibly under the close
confinement and then there came a few
weeks ago a letter from the family physi-
clan. who wrote that the northern girls
mother could not live through the winter
unless taken to a warmer climate. The
blow was severe. for the daughter had de-
MED herself all but the necessities of life
to send her small salary to her mother
and she had not dollar in the world to
spare for added expense
Christmas morning there came ring at
the door of the big bare boarding house of
the desolate girl. and she was called down
to receive Il registered package Within
was a pretty Christmas booklet, filled with
merry rhymes, and between It's five pages
lay five crisp one-hundred-dolar bills. on
the last page was a line: Dear Heart: 1t
makes my Christmas incomparably happy
to know that with the inclosed you can
take your blessed mother to a mder eli
mate and prolOng her precious life, as we'll
your own. A bright Christmas and a
happier New Year from your friend who
has no mother but loves yours and YOU
With that gracious gift her longedfor
overthesea trip goes glimmering for an
other year: but in the big heart of this
girl from the south there must be a peace
that passeth all understanding.

Correspondence of the Chicago Record
For several days 1 noticed the word pan
queque" upon the bill Of fare at the hotel,
and did not know what it was. There is a
brand of wine from one of the Chilean vine
yards with that name. and supposed it
was perhaps the same thing referred to, al
though it was difficult to understand why
1t should appear an ong the desserts on the
menu at the dinner table and on the bills
of fare for breakfast. The best way to lind
out about such things is TO try them, and
the next morning. being in an experimental
mood l ordered 'panqueque." which. to
our amaZement, was an ordinary griddle
cake. Then it dawned upon my duh per-
ceptions that 'panqueque" spelt pancake.
l called the attention of the head waiter 10
the discovery. and he seemed quite aston
ished. He could talk English well and
claimed to be familiar with the cuisine of
America. Therefore he did not see any
thing unusual in my discovery. and rather
think he wrote the bill of fare himself, for
he remarked. in a surprised tone:
What do you call a pancake in Amer
ica."

No race of men can surpass the Chinese
in habits of industry and thrift. With the
introduction of western civilization the vast
resources of the country will be developed,
the products of the soil and manufacture
international trade will be multiplied in
its proportions. Now. in all this material
regeneration Of China the Chinaman will
be in evidence.
Not dollar will he gathered from the
factories. without his securing a due pro-
portion as reward for his part In the en-
terprise. He will patiently and faithfully
work for master for half a generation
and in the second half he will appear as his
own master, at the head of thriving bust
ness. Thus. in the Industries of the future,
wherever there is work to be done. there
will be found Chinese ready to sell
strength" as working for hire Is called in
China: and they will sell more strength for
the money than will men of any other ma
ton.
Again, dollar In the hands of China
man represents far greater purchasing
power than 1t does in the hands of Eu-
ropean. In China dollar will purchase
1.50O pieces Of cash, composed of copper
and zinc. These pieces, with hole In the
center and strung on cord. weigh seven
pounds. common laborer In Pekin is
glad to give ten days of labor. and a car
penter or mason six days, to secure this
amount of cash. This money would give a
comfortable support to an average family.
Three dollars a month, or $3.50 a year,
would cover the living income of a Chinese
family of the working class. The meaning
of this is that the Chinaman will survive
and prosper under conditions of life which
would discourage and finally overwhelm the
European.

Commissioner Evans of the pension bu-

time ago when he was in the lobby of the
House of Representatives. There is some
thing about Mr.. Evans that always draws
a crowd about him " heneyer he goes among

than does he. So it came to pass that when

out the first innoceut-Iooking individual ne

SHOCKING SIGHT
PEOPLE WHO SHOULD HEED
FRANCIS MURPHY'S ADVICE.
HOW TO DEAL WITH TRAMPS.
Locations on Marble Hill-Accident at
the Shelter Site-Helena Base
Ball Team Coming.

Although Francis Murphy, the apostle
of temperance, is doing good work night
ay at the A. o. H. hall, there are many
men, women and children whom he has
not reached as evidenced by the number
of each class who are seen and reported
drunk from time to time. 1t is bad to
see a man drunk, but when women and
children are found drunk in the gutter.
as has been the case here within the
past week, no wonder the work of Mr..
Murphy is commended. Less than three
days ago a poor Washerwoman residing
on East Third street, Within two blocks
from the city hall, left her little boy,
about 6 years of age, with a neighboring
woman while she was out earning an
homes hours work. When she returned
dead drunk. The little boy was called
beer for his services. Yesterday after
noon a Mrs. Bennett, an old woman who
Us addicted to drink was found PROSTATE
In the street at the corner of Park ave-
nue. and Chestnut street. Before falling
TO the ground for the last time she fell
among a pile of beer kegs on Commercial
avenue and scratched her face. Latter
she kicked at a dog in the street and fell
backward, humping her head. On Park
avenue she fell on her face and was I'M
able to get up until picked up and ar
rested by Chief White. Several repre-
sentatives of the w. C. Il U. saw the
occulance on Park avenue and like every
one else was mortified with the snec-
tacle. The Unfortunate woman has been
arrested before, also for drunkenness.
