MOVING DAY IN HARLEM,
A Chance to Find Out what Sort OF Bed
Your NelghbOr's Been sleeping In.

For two weeks around Oct. the whole
life of Harlem fats shifts from the back
windows and fre-escapes TO the front
windows.
During the rest OF the year the artificial
palms, marble entrances and frosted CELL
ings exert restraining influence, on the
people. The housewives feel that hanging
out OF the front windows would detract
from the high tone OF elegance OF the build
ings. Consequently they coniine their
gossip TO the windows opening on light
shafts and air wells.
But around Oct !, when people are NOV

Creators and His Success.

The success of Creatore. the wonder
full Italian band leader, soon to be
heard here, has kept his managers in
a state of uncertainty as to the dis
position of his time. 1t was the orig
inal intention to remain in New York
but two weeks, but Creatore created
q sensational scene the first night he
was there; the whole town was talk
ing about him the next day, and the
engagement was extended to five
weeks. and a little later on to eight
weeks, and finally to 100 nights. Of
fers were received from every direc-
ton. as all wished to see the sensa-
tional Italian. The original arrange
ment for taking the band to California
was abandoned, and after a short en-
gagement at the Pittsburg Exposition,
the band returned to New York to re-
main so long that only a few nearby
cities could be visited. Not only is the
leader sensational. but his band is COM
posed of the best Italian musicians, and
the music they produce is something
wonderfully fine. This famous band
will be heard for one concert only at
the Opera house on Easter Monday
evening. April II.

A MASS OF ROCK
CONTINUED from page ~

Adams for relief train, but it was
late in the forenoon before it arrived.
The express car is a mass of Splinters
and the baggage car behind it was also
badly damaged. 1t seems that the mail
car shot by the engine when the latter
struck the rocks. The two mail clerks
were thrown violently against the end
of the car, but were not injured and
the car itself, notwithstanding its
freakish flight and plunge. was not
| much damaged. The Boston & Spring.
| field day coaches and smoker were de-
rallied and lifted from>the tracks but
they did not capsize. That they es-
caped taking a greater part in the dis
aster was due to the efficiency Of the
emergency air brakes.
The passengers were hurled about
when the front part of the train was
thrown from the irons, but no person
| in the coaches was injured save for
slight bruises. All acted coolly under
| the circumstances and during the
morning, save for an uncertainty con-
corning baggage and breakfast, We're
very comfortable.
| 1t was late in the day before the
body of Fireman O'Neil was removed.

the debris and was crushed and burn
ed in horrible manner. The remains
could not be extricated until the ar
rival of the relief train.
Outside of O'Neil, the only trainmen
to sustain noticeable injuries was John
O'Connell. the express messenger,
| whose car was ground to fragments all
around him. He sustained scalp
| wound not at all serious and was
bruised.
| The escape of Engineer Lynch is not
| understood by trainmen. The only
| scratch he received was bruise on

CHEMICALS EXPLODED
And New York Convent Girls Have a
Lively Experience.

New York. April 3.-An explosion of
chemicals in the laboratory of the Ur
suline Convent in Park avenue, today,
resulted in serious injuries to two
young girls and precipitated a panic
among the students of the institution.
Twenty-four girls of the chemistry
class were in the laboratory waiting
for the instructor, Sister Mary Joseph,
to begin the lesson, when Jennie Cot
ter. II years old, Stella Herzheimer,
16 years old, both of City Island, be-
gan to experiment with some of the
chemicals. Suddenly there was a ter
rife explosion and both girls were
thrown to the ground. The other girls
ran out panic-stricken and the panic
spread to about 100 others in the
school, many of whom were with diff
Guilty prevented from jumping out of
the windows.
After the explosion the two girls
were found lying on the floor, their
clothes burned in many places and
their hands and arms covered with
cuts and burns. The character of the
chemicals used in the experiment could
not be ascertained. Neither of the girls
was fatally hurt and little damage to
the room was done by the explosion.

THE CUP DEFENDER
Is Well Along in Construction, and
Will Soon Be Launched.

Bristol, r. l., April 3.-The work of
furnishing the underbody of the Re-
lance is now well along and the crew
who have been engaged on the task
for the past week have now reached
the bilges.
The aluminium deck is practically
completed. 1t does not extend quite
to the rail, a margin of foor for
water ways being left around the boat
somewhat, below the deck itself, and
made of steel. The deck is being fin
ished with a treatment of cork paint
to give sufficient foot hold to the
crew.
The plating of the rudder is finished
and is said to be an excellent piece of
workmanship.
1t is probable that the boat will be
launched without her bowsprit, as there
is scarcely space enough. owing to a
great length of overhaul to ship the
spar while the boat is in the shop.
There is still considerable work to
be done on the bowsprit especially at
the collar and at the end.
