THE PARK-AVE. EXPLOSION.

OF +'ln variJus questions raised by the Park
ave. ex on on Monday, the most serious re-
lates to the quantity of dynamite stored in the
shanty in front of the Murray Hill Hotel. Con-
corning this the testimony is conflicting Mr..
McDonald's statement that four hundred pounds
were deposited there that morning has a serious
look, but it does not dispose of the matter.
These figures were diminished of course by the
forenoons consumption. Until the facts are
officially ascertained, therefore, it will not do
to jump at a conclusion.
More or less mystery also enshrouds the i'm
mediate cause of the explosion Three four
explanations have been advanced, but not one
of them has been thoroughly established. The
theory that a fire in the magazine due to the
upsetting of candle, was at the bottom of the
business was received with some favor yester-
day. 1t has its weak points, though, and the
chief witness in its support has not inspired
universal confidence in his veracity.
Lamentable as is this whole affair. it ought
not to be entirely without its compensations. 1t
will afford little consolation TO the victims to
think that their experience will prove benefit
to others. Such is the fact however. Blast
ing operations along the route of the subway
will probably be continued for nearly or quite
two years. stricter conformity TO the die
tates of prudence If not to those of the law,
VIII unquestionably result from the Murray Hill
calamity. The rest of the city will enjoy
larger immunity therefore. 1t is also possible
tnat chemists and engineers may be led to seek
some method OF reducing the sensitveness of
dynamite without irnpairing it's usefulness Sir

GEORGIA AND HER VETERANS.

From the Columbia Is. c. State.
II is estimated that about a million
dollars will be needed for pensions of
Confederate soldiers and sailors in
Georgia next year. This provision for
the survivors of the Confederate army
and navy in a single year in a single
state attests the willingness of the
Southern people to do a good part by
the survivors of the men who fought
for them in the war between the states.
The liberality of Georgia towards
her old soldiers is especially striking
because of the progressive" ideas
which are said to prevail in that COM
monwealth. 1t is true that the flow of
new people and of outside money into
Georgia has given her people an air Of
business that some have suspected to
involve a subordination of sentiment
Whatever the result in other directions
II must be said OF the Georgia people
that they have never yet swerved from
the true line of their obligations to
their men who fought in the Southern
armies.
Day observed with more feeling or
WIN ihCAC ACi AiC ptOPiC III
the larger cities appear especially to
recognize this day as one to be fitly OBJ
served, and they take pains to give 1t
note and significance. Memorial ex-
ercises on any but a very unpretentious
scale being impracticable in the small
er places, it has been the rule to draw
the people to some convenient city,
where all may unite in duly honoring
their soldier dead. The railroads run
extra trains and give special rates.
The people on the lines go in numbers
to the city-the women and the girls
carrying flowers for the graves Of kin
dred or friends or the unknown dead
There can be little doubt that this dis
tinct recognition of the one day given
over to the memory Of dead Confeder-
ate soldiers has maintained the eiiaTac-
ter Of the Georgia people against the
entertainments of those practical views
that "commercialism"- other
wise might have resulted from the
hard efforts of that people in the race
for wealth. In this Georgia sets good
example to her sister states of the dead
Confederacy.

THE GINSENG TRADE.
Something Aboot the Plant and It's Commercial
Value

SO many people are now asking the
question. what is ginseng?' that a
full explanation seems to be in order,
and this more especially as ginseng--a
native plant of Georgia--is one Of the
staple products of America. and COM
mands as ready market and higher
price than cotton. wheat. corn. wool
and our other STABLES.
The Chinaman uses this dried root
of the herb nv various forms as a gem
eral panacea fer all Ills Just why he
uses It no one has ever been able to
find out exaetly--for all the scientific
men declare that no benefit can be
reaped by the American from it's me-
dicinal use. Why the Chinaman wants
II and why he likes roots of peculiar
shape-the shape OF human being, for
instance. is especially prized-is not the
question: what interests us is that he
does want an apparently unlimited
supply OF ginseng and is willing to pay
a big price for II.
The Plant Itself.
blHstHb itselI IL small herb which
grows wild in the dense forest regions
of the inland In most OF the mountain
Gus and highland portions of the Unit
ed States. Shade is one of its reaui-
sites, and the high ground Is necessary
to preserve II from the foods which
are fatal to 1t. Perhaps It would be bet
ter to say that it did grow wild in
the forests-for the natural supply is
being rapidly exhausted by the ruth
less spade OF the 'sang-digger," who
collects the roots, paying little atten-
ton to the age of the plant. He digs
the root as soon as he sees the plant
peeping forth in the spring and does
not give IL the slightest chance to drop
its seeds or make any provision for
It's reproduction. The plant becomes
yearly harder and harder to find and
our export list shows continually de-
creasing supply
How II Grows.
The above facts have lead to the Gull

feature, is not essential, however. as

does not sap the strength from the
soil like the trees and can be adjusted
to suit the weather.

MERIT REWARDED.
Three Army officers to Be Made
brighter Generals and Retired.

Three Army officers to Be Made
brighter Generals and Retired.
Washington, Oct. 2.-In recognition
of their long and honorable service in
the army, the President has directed
the advancement to the grade of brig
adler general of Col. Amos S. Kimball
of the quartermaster's department, sta
toned at New York; Coz. Chambers
McKibbin, Twenty-fourth Infantry,
stationed in Montana, and Col. C. c.
Hood. Sixteenth Infantry, stationed at
Fort Mcpherson, Ga! This action is
made possible by the retirement of
Brig. Gen. William H. Bisbee, who is
now on his way home from the Philip
pines, and who was retired yesterday.
The vacancy in the list of brigadiers
thus created was filled to-day by the
appointment of Col Kimball. That
officer will retire at once, and permit
of the advancement of Col. McKibbin,
who also will retire Immediately, and
leave a vacancy for the appointment
of Col. Hood. That officer will SINH
larly retire as soon as he receives his
commission in the higher, grade.
All the officers thus chosen for adj
Vancement are near the retiring age of
"a years, and but for the action of the
PRESIDENT would have retired with their
present rank of colonel. All of them
saw service in the Civil War. as well
as during the recent war with Spain.
