FOUR BODIES ARE FOUND.
Searching tho Tarrant Building Ruins Thirty
Two Persons Still Missing.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. 30.-All the efforts of
the authorities are now directed to clean
ing away the ruins Of the Tarrant and
others buildings wrecked in the great
explosion of yesterday, in the desire to
find out how many bodies are buried in
them and to ascertain what was the
cause of the explosion. The effort of the
searchers for the dead was rewarded
this evening by the finding of the remains
of III. C. "A. Schmidt, of $50 Clinton street,
Brooklyn, and the discovery OF what
looks to be the bodies of three other peo-
pie.
During today Superintendent Dooner
had a very large force of men working
as hard as possible, tearing down piles
of debris and removing it, The hre
burned all day and toward night was
practically to the end of the mass of
debris at Washington and Warren streets.
The fire runs back for some distance and
is burning fercely. Four engines play
on the flames.

Chief Croker of the Fire Department,
says that the work of digging out dead
has hardly begun. He believes that the
greater number of the dead will be found
on the streets where the falling walls
buried and the fire charred their bodies.

for the dead" said Chief Croker, point
ing to the ruins under the tottering walls
of the Atlanta Cafe. we will find many

President Thomas F. Main, of Tarrant
and Company, said today that the COM
pany stored on the third and fourth
floors, large amounts of stuff for their
drug concerns. Among this" said Mr..
Main, "was much chlorate of potash, and
this may have caused the explosions.
While chlorate of potash is not explos-
i've in itself, it is explosive when con-
nected by fire or other means with other
drugs or acids, and it is on this theory
that the experts are now working to de-
termine just how the explosion might
have been caused"
The theory is gaining ground that the
explosion was caused by the action of
water and other chemicals on a great
quantity of cholrate of potash stored in
the building.

Der of the people desire bad government,

remember how deeply the people were
stirred, and you remember that those
vino were with me in the campaign were
called all sorts of names, and 1 myself
did not escape, and yet within two years
after that campaign a war broke out, and
the President asked for volunteers, and
the people responded, and l think it is
safe to say that more men responded who
voted for me than responded who voted

MUST USE WIDE TIRES.

islatOrs of MassachusettS.
The wide-tire law, passed by the Mas
sachusetts legislature through the eff
forts of the Massachusetts, division Of
the League of American Wheelmen, pro-
vides that on and after January l,l902,
''It shall be unlawful, except as pro-
vided in section Of this act, to use
upon any road, street or way in this
commonwealth a draft wagon or cart
having tires of iron or steel, or of any
substance equally hard, which are less
in width than one and one-half times
the diameter of the axle, measured at
the shoulder thereof; but in no case
shall a tire more than four inches in
width be required, and wagons and
carts built with wooden or hollow axles
shall have tires not less in width than
the diameter of the axle, measured at
the shoulder thereof.
"This act shall apply to all wagons
and carts the axles of which are two
inches or more in diameter, measured
as aforesaid, and to all stage coaches,
tally-ho coaches, barges and other pas
senger vehicles not built to run on iron
or steel rails and constructed to carry
eight or more persons"
The fourth section states that the
act shall not apply to wagons or other
vehicles owned and used in the state on
January 1. 1902. This is the weak
clause in the bill. putting off the best
effects of the law for many years. The
penalty for violation of the law is a
fine not exceeding $500.

THE cHANGELlNG.

A little babe with dimpled toes
I used to hold upon my knee:
His face was sWeeter than a rose,
His eyes were blue as they could be;
And when his smiling lips kissed,
He laughed and curled his little fist.
Oh, he was good as he was sweet!
He never used a naughty word;
When toddlins on his weary feet,
a gentle coo was all heard.
He never whined, and never knew
The way to pout as big boys do.
And where's he now? do not know.
Perhaps the fairies captured him.
Qm sure he did not want to go.)
Perhaps some ogre, dark and grim,
Has locked him in castle old.
Without his mothers hand to hold.
You cannot wonder am sad,
Or that my eyes at times are wet.
The changeling does not make me glad
He does not wish me to forget;
And when he vexes me the more,
I think of him I had before. ,-
Oh he is pretty, too, I own.
This changeling, with his violet eyes;
But he has such a churly tone.
He can't be pleasant If he tries.
The ogre might have left child
With manners more polite and mild.
He won't do this, he will do that,
He doesn't care for ''crusts of things;
He doesn't like his new straw hat,
And SO he tears it off, and filings
The horrid thing upon the floor,
Remembering to slam the door.
He is the ogres, I conclude;
For I am sure he is not mine,
His manners are SO rough and rude.
What can do but sit and pine,
And long to stroke the golden hair
OF him who was so sweet and fair?

rows four feet. apart this takes about

three feet apart in the rows, and often
as much as four feet apart. Even then,

berry-plants are set four feet apart

strawberry-plants in the row 1 have
set Prizetaker and Gibraltar onion
plants, the latter to be pulled up for
bunch-onions as soon as large enough,
which will give to the strawberry
plants the whole row as soon as they
need it. The middle row, between the

not be planted too closely together.
When evergreens crowd each other the
crowded portion is quite sure to die
out, leaving open spaces for the wind to
blow through. In setting out wind
break, therefore, put the trees far
enough apart SO that when they be-
come of average size they will form a
compact screen. In setting out small
trees one is always in danger of setting
them too near together, whether they
be fruit trees or ornamentals. The ul-
innate size of the tree must always be
kept in mind when setting it out. It is
asserted by those who have had ex
perience that double row of ever
greens do not afford so good protec-
ton from the wind as single row that
has grown up into compact hedge,
since the double rows so shade some of
the trees that they do not grow well.
In transplanting evergreens it is i'm
portant to keep the roots from becom-
ing dry and to give plenty of moisture
after setting. When the roots of an
evergreen get thoroughly dried out its
chances for life are very small, indeed.
