GREATEST BLAST EVER
fired BY HUMAN HAND
Opens New Hampshire tarbOr to the Largest Ships
Made--Fifty Tons Dynamite Used, Thirty-Five Il
Thousand Yards Of Ledge Blown Out.

Portsmouth, n. H., July 22.-Thou-
sands of people lined the water front
and occupied other points of vantage
in the vicinity, when at high tide this
afternoon, fifty tons of dynamite
were exploded and Henderson's s
Point, jutting piece of land, that had
always mar lowed the channel TO the
exclusion of ships of the heaviest
draft, was removed from the geogra-
ply of New Hampshire.
1t was the larlAGt blast ever fired.
AT the invitation of the navy depart
ment, which conducted the engineer
ing feat, eminent engineers, naval of
ficers and others, were present In
large numbers to witness the uplifting
of land and water. The invited spec
tators stood on Reservoir Hill, from
which point they had splendid view
OF the terrific explosion. The ar
rangements were in charge OF En-
gineer Gregory, U. S. n. Miss Edith
Foster, daughter of Superintendent o
w. Foster. of the Massachusetts Con
tracing company, pressed the button
which set off the gigantic charge and
sent $4,000 yards of solid land flying
in the air. 1t was a holiday for the
navy yard and all the employees turn
ed out to witness the sight. The
townspeople of Portsmouth and hun
dreds of visitors from nearby cities
and towns swarmed over Pierce Isl
and and on the Newcastle side of the
water.
When all was ready for the eXplo
sion, the cofferdam that had protected
the workmen while they were taking
off the surface earth and burrowing
deep into their rock to lay their trair
of explosives, was removed, and the
water which had been kept back from
the giant excavation flowed over the
point to a depth of twenty feet. Thi:
cushion of water served to temper the
force of the blast so that no bad eff
fects were experienced by persons ol
property, though the quake of the
earth was felt for miles.

THE JAcoBY BOYS AND
THE "OLO MAN"

Among the El Paso base ball boys
here playing a series OF two games,
are Johnny aud Harry Jacoby, sons
of Colonel John Jacoby, Sr., and these
two boys are not new TO the people
OF this city. Both boys were born in
this city, when the senior Jacoby was
the village foundryman," down on
South Second street, and when the
"old man." with Street Commissioner
Tierney, carried the democratic votes
of the shops, and especially of the
Third ward, in their vest pockets. II
was in those good old days, twenty
odd years ago, when Johnny Jacoby
was mascot for the old Browns, and
the "Old man" was a fan, yelling out
at each game with an outside team
to each home batter, words Of en-
couragement, such as, lime 'er out,
Amt that a dandy three-bagger2" and
There goes a home run" Since leav-
ing this city the Jacoby family set
tied in Fl Paso where the two boys
learned the national game and play
their respective positions like vet.

TAKING STEPS TO
PRESERVE OLD ORCHARD

The Estancia Valley Development
association has issued invitations for
unique celebration to be held in the
near future at the village of Manzano,
in the Manzano mountains.
Near the village of Manzano stands
small orchard of thirty apple trees
that have been there since time i'm
memorial. During all these years the
elements have washed away the soil
about the roots of these trees and left
them bare, where a continued dry
spell would probably damage them to
such an extent that they would die.
1t is the plan of the celebration to
hold a sort of old time barbecue. AT
ter this is over all the men who at
tend will be called upon to lend hand
with spade and shovel and cover up
the roots of the old apple trees.

SPORTING EVENTS IN
COUNTRY AT LARGE


New York, July 21.-In sporting
circles here the prediction is made
that if Jack McAuliffe, the former
lightweight champion, and Jem Car
ney, the English fighter, come to-
gether in Igland today, as sched'
uled, a fierce and interesting battle
will be the result. Gable dispatches
state that the two are to go five
rounds at Birmingham, for a purse OF
$1,000. McAuliffe has been out of the
ring for a long time, but it is be
lieved that he still has a good fight
in him. Carney, likewise, is a vet
eran of the squared circle and a past
master of the art of boxing. Many
still remember that long drawn out
and vicious draw which McAuliffe and
Carney fought near Boston some fif'
teen years ago.

Historic Building Lost.
The Historical society of Flushing.
near New York City, which has been
making an effort to raise funds with
which to purchase the old Johnann
Sprong House from the Flushing ceme-
terry, has announced that 1t has been
unable TO raise the necessary funds.
Now 1t is feared that the old stone
structure, which has been declared
unsafe, will be demolished. The build
ing Is a story and half stone struct-
or antique architecture. II was con.

days 1t was occupied by famous men

New Kind of Luncheon,
Glass Luncheon" might be a fitting
tltie Tor an entertainment given few
days ago by Mrs. Harry Lehr. Not
that the hostess had invited a dime
museum freak to teach her guests how
TO eat glass. Simply she had carried
out TO logical extreme the fad of
using glass covers for dining tables.
On the table had been spread a piece
OF the beautiful Irish lace Mrs. Lebr
had brought from Europe, and ferns
were strewn on that. Seen through
the glass top the effect was charming.
All the tableware was glass. The only
drawback the glassware offered was
that every time metallic substance
was laid upon 1t there was a disturb
ing clatter.
Child Labor Laws Enforced.
The rigidity with which the child
labor laws are being enforced this
summer is being bitterly protested by
the parents in the poorer sections OF
the city. They cannot understand why
the board OF health should refuse a
work certificates to a child under IA
years OF age, nor can they understand
any or the other regulations which
govern the issuance of these certifI-
Gates. AS a result of this Ignorance
scores upon scores OF angry, parents
are being turned away from the var
ious local offices of the health bureau
mutterins imprecations at tne on
cials who refuse to give them certifi-
Gates which will enable their children
to work during the summer months.
In former years II was compare
lively easy matter for a child to OBJ
tain vacation work certificate, but
things have changed now and no child
is permitted to work unless Il is IA
years of age and has attended school
for 13O school days since its 18th
birthday. So rigidly are these two quail
ifications enforced that no work certf-
ficate is issued to a child unless Il
can produce absolute evidence of age,

Fine Growth in Navy--Mrs ROOsevets Patriotism.
BrOOkIyn's MiIIiOn-DOIIar Art Temple.
Child Labor Controlled.

New York, July 22.-With the COM
pletion of the battleship Connecticut,
now building here, and other war
ships, more vessels will be added to
the register Of naval ships in the fis-
cal year just opening than in any
other fiscal year in the country's naval
history. In the coming twelve months
there will be placed in active service,
beside the Connecticut, the great bat
tleships Nebraska, Vermont, Virginia,
Georgia, New Jersey, Rhode Island
and Louisiana, the armored cruisers
California, South Dakota, Tennessee
and Washington and the protected
cruisers st. Paul, Milwaukee and
Charleston.
The result of this large addition to
the navy will be swing of the pendu-
lum of activity to the other extreme.
Not for long time have there been so
few vessels in the early period of
their construction as now, and the
consequence will be that July l, 1906,
will find fewer ships than in many
years in course of construction at pri-
vate or government yards.

Canada Has Cup Trials.

Toronto, Ont, July 22-The inter
est of yachtsmen throughout the Do
minion centers in the trial races for
the Canada cup challengers, which be-
gan here today. There are three
candidates for the honor OF challeng-
ing for the cup. Two are owned by
Toronto men and a Hamilton syndi-
cate owns the third. The Hamilton
yacht was designed by William John
ston, who designed Hamilton l. One
of the Toronto challengers was de-
signed by William Fire, Jr., of Fair
lie, and the other Toronto boat was
designed by Alfred Milne. There is
considerable difference in the con-
struction of the three boats, though
there is little variation in general di-
mensions. In addition to these three
boats are two additional entries for
the trial races. They are the Beaver
and Invader, both of Canada cup fame
but 1t is expected that they will be
used chiefly as trial boats, as II Is not
at all probable that either will be Sc
lected for the final contest, neither
exactly fitting the new thirty-foot
class.
