in view the control of private monopoliee,
are dismal failures"

Wonderful Vault That BiIIiOnafren
Use For Deposit % Securities.
Many persons who have been amazed
during the past few days at the hold
ings Of stock certificates that repre-
sent millions of dollars by some Of the
magnates Of Wall street have more
than once wondered where on earth
the stacks Of certificates are slowed
away over night. Some Of the certif-
Gates are passed day after day in their
business deals from owners to owners
who have not strong underground
vaults, nor do all firms on the street
have vaults above the average kind,
says a New York correspondent of the
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Be that as it may, from this time
out the millions in bonds and certif-
Gates and other street" valuables, as
we'll as valuables owned elsewhere, in
this city and other cities, are to be
slowed away in a safe in a deposit
company on Broad street which has
just been put in commission. 1t is the
biggest safe in the world. In this safe
are already deposited more securities
than in any other one place in the
world. Wealth untold is represented
there by stocks and bonds, jewelry and
silver plate. Here also repose the wills
Of many of the biggest millionaires in
America.
So vast are the financial interests
concerned in this safe that the board Of
directors in charge of it is made to rep
resent every faction Of the financial
world. John D. Rockefeller, ]. 2. Nor
gan, the Vanderblts. the Rothschilds,
the Harrimans. the Goulds and other
large interests have personal represent
Ntives on the board. The door leading
into the safe Is u tremendous piece of
mechanism. 1t is circular, eight feet
in diameter and twenty-four inches
thick. 1t weighs twenty-One tons. The
hinges Of this big door weigh 1000
/ pounds. The door and vestibule weigh
fifty tons, and yet so nicely is the door
balanced on ball bearings that a baby
might close it with the gentle pressure
Of its tiny finger. The safe is fifty.
three feet long. thirty-eight feet wide
and nine feet in height. The walls are
four feet thick. The interior Is fitted
up with 1000 boxes, but 5000 more
will be added as they are needed.
Formidable as the mechanical appli
ances for safety are. they are not de
pended on altogether. Day and night
men guard the big door. They pace
back and forth like soldiers on guard
Three times in the night a third watch
man walks through the corridor to see
that the sentinels are attending to theil
duty. If ever burglar gets anything
out of the safe, Wall street will go Out
Of business.

PELEE AGAIN RACES
Huge Inky-Blaok Clouds Rolled
Over Fort de France.
NO NOISES FROM THE VOLCANO

Inhabitants Of Martinlque's Capital
Fear a Tidal Wave May Come,
Which Would Destroy Fort ce
France and Cause Great Loss Of Lie
Fort De France, Island of Marti-
nique, May 2S.-Mont Pelee was again
in eruption on Monday. Huge inky-
black clouds rolled over Fort De
France in great masses, in which were
peculiar lighting flashes. The inhab-
itants Hocked into the great squares
of the town and a panic was immi-
nent.
A very heavy surf has been beating
on the shore for hours, and an enor-
nous greyish-yellow cloud, at a great
height, was dimly visible in the direc-
ton Of Mont Pelee Fort De France is
nearly deserted. A new source of
alarm is the fear that a tidal wave
may come. A wave eight feet high
would certainly destroy Fort De France
and probably cause great loss of life.
Fort DE France is in no danger from
the volcano, but there is considerable
apprehension Of panic in the night
time, should the greyish-yellow cloud
reach here and ashes and stones begin
to fall. There are no noises from the
volcano at present.
For the space of one hour flames
rose from the crater to a height Of
{ $50 metres. The crater seemed to be
about 300 metres in diameter.

SIDEWALK COLLAPSED
200Persons Drop 20 Feet by Break
Of Temporary Structure.
ONE KILLED AND 100 INJURED

Accident Happened While Crowd Was
Watching Parade In Honor Roeham.
beau Commission In New York.
Contractors Under Arrest.
New York, May 2S.-Elvin L. Cool
idge, circulation manager of the New
York Commercial, was almost instant
ly killed and about 100 others injured
last evening by the breaking down Of
a temporary sidewalk at Fifth avenue
and Eighteenth street. Some of those
injured may die. Those who fell were
part Of the crowd gathered to watch
the parade of militia in honor of the
visit of the French Rochambeau com
mission to this city.
Two hundred persons were on the
sidewalk when it gave way. They were
precipitated 20 feet into an excavation
for new building, and fell upon piles
Of building material.
The accident occurred Just as the
head of the parade had passed the
corner. The French visitors had gone
past, and knew nothing of the accident
until some time later.
Troop C had just ridden by and the
Twenty-secOnd Regiment was passing
when the crash came. The officers in
command at once gave the order tc
break ranks, and so militiamen wers
detailed to the work of rescue. Hurry
calls were sent for police reserves and
ambulances, and in very short time
those who fell were assisted out of the
excavation, and the work of bindins
up wounds and conveying those mos
injured to hospitals was in full swing
The authorities are busy cndeavorinl
to discover who was to blame for the
accident Coroner Scholer says tn,
sidewalk had not been built of materia
.strong enough to stand such a grea
weight as burdened it last evening. H,
said the real cause of the accident wa.
the giving way of an upright timber
II by II inches in dimensions
that extended from the bottom of tn,
excavation to the cross beams on which
the sidewalk rested. About three fee
of this timber, he said was rotten ant
very weak. Considering the nature O
the accident and the number of per
sons in it, the hospital surgeons ex
press surprise at the few who received
serious hurts. Many were able to g,
directly home after having their in
/ juries treated by the ambulance sur
/ geons. E. L. Coolidge, who was killed
received fracture of the skull. H
leaves a widow and four children.
The coroner ordered the arrest O
Contractor Cowan and of ]. G. Miller
/ the sub-contractor. Mr.. Cowan, how
ever, had heard of the accident, an
went to the police station, where h
saw the coroner. Cowan explained tina
he was not responsible for the acci
dent and promised to appear at tn
inquest in case he was wanted. Jane
LawtOn, foreman of the work at tn
building, was arrested by the polio
and later allowed to go under bail c
$4,000, a charge of homicide havin
been placed against him. The cor

keep the crowd off the sidewalk, as

Dame Nature has a way of striking
a balance. The law of compensation
the adding to for every taking away,
the taking away for every gift-still
remains a trick of fortune. John D.
Rockefeller commands the services of
hundreds Of thousands Of men. He has
millions upon millions and the power
to possess anything on earth which
money can buy. Yet he must live on
toast, not being able to digest a square
meal, and all his millions cannot make
even one hair grow where one hair
grew before. He cannot smoke, though
he could afford to pay $4,000 apiece
for his cigars and could light them
with thousand dollar bills. He can at.
ford to pay fabulous prices for rare
old wines, and he cannot drink a glass
of beer. With the power to make the
brightest things of the world glitter
about him every night, he must go tc
bed at 10 o'clock. Worth a thousand
millions, he cannot afford to eat q
sausage. Life is full Of irony.-NeW

North Carolina, a rich lady was riding
along in her carriage. Being oyertaken
by a thunderstorm, she found shelter
in farmers home. The place was
very humble. AS in many poor homes,
there seemed to be healthy children
everywhere, but there was also one
crippled child. The rich lady said to
the mother, Can nothing be done for
that childP 'No," answered the moth
er, nothing can be done. The village
doctor said the great surgeons in New
York might help him. OF course we
have 10 money TO send him there"
The rich lady pitied the child. She
took him to New York. While there
the surgeons Strengthened out the Grip
pied limbs. But though the little child
was at that time a cripple, yet on &C.
count Of what the rich lady was doing
for him he had strength enough to
crawl into the rich lady's heart. Then
the rich lady went back and said to the
mother: "Since have been caring for
your boy ! have learned to love him.
VIII you let me adopt him? l want to
bring him up as my own child and
make him my heir" In after years
the boy used to crawl into the rich
lady's lap and say: "AIamma, am glad
was once poor little cripple. If |
had not been poor little cripple, you
would not have pitied and worked for
me AID learned to love me when you
were saving my life." So when we
work for Christ, when we travel for

I into our hearts as well as we creep in
to his.

the twain mile for Christ he is also

OPERATORS CHEERFUL
they Believe Many Pumpmen
Will Remain at Work.
OFFERING So A DAY FOR MEN
Mine Workers Leaders Expect All
Pumpmen In HazIeton District to
Strike On Monday Next If conces.
slOns Are Not Granted.

Strike On Monday Next If conces.
sions Are Not Granted.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 27.-The op-
orators are more cheerful than they
have been at any time since the strike
began. Returns from several districts
where the engineers and pumpmen
were pOlled show that many voted
against a strike. The operators de-
clare that they will now have no diff
iiculty in keeping their pumps going,
and that although all the firemen go
out they will be able, with their clerks
and bosses, and the aid of the coal and
iron policemen, to keep up steam.
If they need non-union firemen they
can get them readily, they state. The
men needed to man the fires will be
housed at the mines in order that the
strikers shall have no opportunity to
interfere with them without breaking
into the company's grounds.
As a result of a poll made by the
executive board, the local mine work
ers' leaders expect that all the engi-
neers, tiremen and pump runners in
the Seventh, or Hazleton, district will
respond to the strike order on Monday
next if they are not granted an eight
hour day by that time. In this region
all these men are affiliated with the
United Mine Workers. Some of the
tiremen and pump runners wanted to
go out with the miners two weeks
ago, but were restrained by the dis
trict officers. Meetings of the execu-
tive board are held daily, and the
leaders are in close touch with the sit
uation at every colliery.
| Coke Bros. & Co. had agents in town
last night, offering SO a day to men
wanted as pump runners, to take the
places of the strikers on Monday. AT
the Derringer colliery of Coke Bros
& Co. such feeling has been mani
tested by the people against a clerk
who took the place of a fireman that
he fears to return to his home. He is
quartered in a cabOose near the mine
The caboose is guarded day and night
by two special officers.
1t is not possible to conceal the fact
that the mine workers, especially in
the Lehigh region, are becoming very
restless. The miners in the last
named region openly declare that they
will not permit the pumps to be ru1
by non-union men. The spirit of un
rest is also, according to reliable re
ports, pronounced in all three districts
and the conservative leaders are ap
prehensive lest disorder should occur
before the return of Mr. Mitchell, who
is expected by Thursday
Rev. Father ]. V. Hussie, rector o.
st. Gabriel's Church, opened a schoo
for striking breaker boys. The at
tendance was so good that an addi
4 tional school will be started today.
1t was learned last night that Dun
can Moorehead, the timekeeper at thu
Carson washery, had been shot by
drunken Italian, who narrowly missed
wounding several other people on thu
Yorktown bicycle path, as he was OF
his way home to McAdoo on Sunda.
. night. The Italian is a striking miner
but it is asserted that he did no
know Moorehead, and that the shoot
ing was purely accidental.

JARDEN MURDERER HANGED
William Lane Paid With Life Penalt,
Of Awful Crimes,


of Awful Grimes.
philadelphia, May 2S.-Singing in
high, quivering voice the words of an
old Methodist hymn, William Hartman
Lane, the colOred man who, on April /,
shot to death Ella Jarden and her two
little daughters, went to the gallows
yesterday morning. He died as one
who did not realize the end. Wide
eyed, staring towards the glimmering
southern windows in the western corri-
dor Of Moyamensing prison, Lane
mounted the scaffold steadily. He
stood upon the trap for a few brief
seconds, seeming neither to see the
large crowd of spectators huddled be-
meath him, nor to know that the exc
cutioner had placed about his neck the
grim moose of death.
The words, There's not friend like
the lowly Jesus" caught in his throat
as the knot was vigorously frightened
behing his right ear. He stood stolidly
hopeless. The black cap shut from
his eyes the last sight of earth. A
keeper moved him forward a few
inches, so that he stood directly in the
centre of the scaffold. The drop fell
at 1908. His death was painless, fol
] with the drop almost he ceased to b.
| conscious. He was pronounced deaC
at 1927. One of the most atrocioui
crimes, fendish in its miserable heart
lessness, was legally accounted closed
The execution was pronounced tt,
most successful one ever held in Moy
amensing prison.
