Giving in Spain.

l wish we Americans would adopt the
Spanish style of giving. There are oc-
:asions when a host, warmed to the
cookies of his heart by the congenallty
md personal magnetism of a guest, will
give to him whatever he particularly adj
hires among the household gods. In
Spanish-speaking, Spanish-conquered,
Spanish-lost countries this giving is I'M
ierstood to be sort of compliment with
What a lovely porcelain! ] have never
seen its equal. Some rare work of the
Middle Ages" DO you like it," says
,fe pleased host. 1T is yours" They
shake hands, slap each other on the
shoulder and renew old friendship. But
he host knows that the present will
never leave his house a md the guest
understands that the gift is not his eX-
cept in the meaning.

CASTE IN ENGLAND.
MIR. Carnegie Compares 1t with That in
This Country.


We referred lately to Mr.. Carnegie's
surprising assertion that Shakespeare
had been more to him than his Bible.
Now that we have before us the full
text of the interview in which this SIN
gnlar statement was made We nnd
that he said some other things that de-
serve to be commended ratner thah
deprecated. 1t is, as he said, source
of social and industrial weakness lo[
Great Britain that in that country inc
whole social structure is permeateu
with the spirit of caste.

low TO kick. In the United States on
the other hand, if the plumbers son Is

ally and morally than the millionaire
son. he goes on top. Asked now lie

istence of the so-called smart set I'D
New York. Mr.. Carnegie answered
that with us the smart people do n0
count. We laugh at them. we give
them nothing to do. Englishmen, on
the other hand, would place such pee
pie at the head of their Government
departments. This was stroke al

not be forced to emigrate to find ca

as the Englsh-speaking world is con-
cerned, England would always retain
the supremacy in the realm of litera
ture and art. We are by no means
certain, however. that this will he the

TERRIBLE DISASTER.
Ten Lives Lost by Explosion In an
OIL Plant In Minneap-

Minneapolis, April 2t-Ten per-
sons. eight men and two women.
were killed and seven others injured
by an explosion at the plant of the
Northwestern Star Oil Co, at the
foot of Sixth avenue. ;. f., about 1880
Thursday morning. The dead are as
follows: w. II. Davis, president; c.
II. Durrin, general manager; Stanis-
laus w, Mitchell, cashier; Jacob
Domm, bookkeeper; Miss Caroline a.
Record, bookkeeper; Harold c. Col
born, clerk; Miss Ella NJ. Roundy,
stenographer; David Dacey, foreman;
John Spontanske, laborer; Joseph La
Fond, laborer.
The explosion came without an in
stant's warning and a second after the
conclusion the walls had been thrown
down and the entire structure was a
mass of flames. Not person in the Of
fee escaped alive. Seven workmen en-
gagged on the second floor were thrown
20 feet into the air and these were the
only persons who escaped. They
climbed through the debris and are
now at the city hospital. Although the
cause of the explosion has not been de-
termined, it is said that some of the
employees of the company were empty
ing some oil tank cars into the tanks in
the basement of the building and it is
possible that sparks from a switch en-
CINE ignited the infammable fluids.

sides who had been wrought up to a

rights. Like pack of mad wolves they

TRADE REVIEW.
satuatiea In nusiness Circles ~ 10
Appears to Leading Con-
mercial Agencies.

New York, April 25.-R. g. Dun q
Co.'s Weekly Review Of Trade says:
.'Trade responded promptly to better
weather in many sections of the coun-
try, notable activity appearing in sea-
sonable lines of wearing apparel, yet
wholesalers report conservatism as
compared with eaBlier months this
year, although business is more active
than 1t was year ago. Some branches
are still backward, and there Is more
or less complaint regarding collec-
tions. while renewals are frequently
asked. Outdoor work is vigorously
prosecuted, agricultural communities
endeavoring to make up lost time, and
structural undertakings call for large
quantities of lumber and building ma
terials, sustaining quotations. Labor
problems are being solved with en-
couraging celebrity. Lake navigation
has had the expected effect in reduc-
ing rail freight congestion and ship
ments are more prompt, yet there is
no diminuition in the splendid increase
of gross railway earnings, which show
a gain of 1871 per cent. over last years
figure for April thus far. and 25.3 per
cent. over 1901.
Failures this week were 1865 in tho
United States, against 212 last year,
and Is in Canada, compared with IS q
year ago."
Bradstreet's says: "Trade and in
dustry progress well despite draw
backs in the shape Of numerous labor
troubles and cool. backward weather
conditions in some sections. Retail
trade as a whole is fair. Collections
continue to slowly but steadily inn
prove. Manufacturing industry was
never SO active, except, perhaps, in the
textile grades, where few labor trou-
bles limit cotton goods production, but
in iron and steel, lumber, shoe manu-
featuring manchinery and multitude
of other lines production is close to
the maximum. Railroad earnings con-
sinue large. The shutdown of north.
western -four mills proved to be only
temporary, and the point sought, low
er rates for the product, has evidently
been gained, judging from the in
creased outgo of -four from nearly all
shipping centers."
