A CRUSHING RESP POSSIBILITY

A CRUSHING RESP oNsIBILITY.
They Judge feebly and measure
poorly plain indications Of character
who attribute the, slight physical
collapse Of Plus K. to the immediate
strain of his, new duties, to long
and wearying audiences, to the
press of new cares of state or to
the confinement of life in the
Vatican in comparison with the
freedom that he hitherto enjoyed.
All Of these circumstances, of course,
have their weight. But they fail to
include the prime factor, the ire
mendous sense of moral RESPONSE
bility that the pope feels.
This quality has been evident
from the first. tits, beyond doubt,
that which contributed most to his
unsought election to the papacy..
The princes of the church, finding
the conclave deadloched by the
partisans of other candidates, turned
their thoughts to this man because
of his wortniness: not merely his
p;ety, his learning, his executive
ability-but his constraining sense
of duty that lay behind all and ami
mated all. Y
: A notable exhibition. .of this was
his first real introduction to the
word beyond the limits of his
church. It was told how strong,
how almost invincible was his re-.
luctance to accept the high honor
when it came. He shrank, not from
its labors and its duties, but before
his own high conception Of all that a
pope should be and do to hold aloft
the sacred traditions of the Office. It.
is that inner sense Of the RESPONSE
bility that rests upon him, of the.
need 81 fidelity and Z fulfillment to
his own ideals, that weights him.

EXPLOSION AND DEATH.
Ten Persons Are Moderated in Fiery
Furnace.

TuTU0C0s
Ten persons, eight men and two
women, were cremated in a fire which
followed an explosion at the plant Of
the Northwestern Star Oil company at
Sixth avenue Sc. and Main street at
11:25 Thursday morning.
Six men are at their homes or in the
hospital suffering from severe burns
and other injuries, but it is believed
that all will recover.
Not since the great mill explosion
of 1878 has there been casualty in
Minneapolis attended by such a loss
Of life.
The property loss is small, barely
100000, and the insurance is only $685.
700, the insurance companies not car
ing to take such hazardous risks.
The cause of the explosion is shroud-
ed in mystery. Without an instant's
warning one of the big oil tanks in the
basement of the building exploded and
the flames spread to the section Of the
building where the Office force was en-
.ployed.
Not a person escaped. OF the ten
who were employed in the office the
bodies Of four are at the morgue and
six are in the debris.
Five men who were working in other
parts of the building were thrown
high into the air by the force Of the
explosion, but after crawling over hot
bricks and masonry were able to make
their way to a place where the firemen
were able to grasp them and remove
them to a place Of safety.
One man stood directly over the oil
tanks which exploded. He is at the
city hospital and although badly burn
ed will soon be able to be about.
The Northwestern Star Oil company
is wiped out of existence. The COM
pany was not incorporated and w. FL.

stock has been destroyed and all that
remains Of the building Is fire wall

At city hospitals; Joseph Livingston,
Nicollet Island; burned about face and
hands; will recover. Taken to his
home.
John "A. Burton, who has been in the
company's employ for over eighteen
years, says that the fire possibly
started in the oil storage room be-
tween the offices and tank rooms, the
force of the shock throwing the walls
outward and upward, the debris fall
ing in masses cutting off all avenues
of escape, the greedy flames consum-
ing everything almost instantly. Mr..
Burton says that no matches or fire
were allowed in any part of the build
ing. Upon being questioned he ad-
mitted that several new men were en-
ployed within week or so.
The rumor atloat that two travelling
men We're caught in the explosion
seems to be unfounded, though the
discovery OF cork hand excited some
opinion at first, but on closer scrutiny
it was found to be baseball glove.
The body Of Mr.. Domm was recov-
cred about 2:30, and at 6 o'clock the
remains of Misses Record and Roundy
were taken to the morgue. The last
body recovered was that of Mr.. Davis,
the proprietor.
