ALL COULD HAVE
 ESCAPED TO SAFETY.
workmen in the Meyers Department Store Knew the Building Was Falling for an Hour Before the Final Collapse Came-Coroner's Examination Now in Progress.

Albany, N. r., Aug. 24-The coron- CTS examination of wOrkmen who were digging a cellar under the Mey- CTS department store at the time of its collapse, August 8, has shown that the men were warned of tue approach ing disaster for nearly an hour before the structure fell and crushed the life out of thirteen persons. John Mitch ell, the foreman employed by the con- tractor in charge of the job, said that when he arrived the morning of Aug ust 8, he found that large piece of earth had fallen from the southeast ern corner of pier No 8 and that one half hour before the crash came. be and others saw that pier No 9 had begun crumbllng and that for that half hour the crumbling continued while the whole force of men were kept working at pier No 8, knowing that the safety of the entire building depended upon getting it shored up in time.
 Five minutes before the crash came the superintendent of the job left the gang in the cellar, saying he was go- ing above to warn the employees off the floor. At the last minute, reali- zing that their efforts to save the building was unsuccessful, the work men rushed out All escaped unin- jured but Mitchell, who was caught in the wreck and badly bruised. It has not yet developed that any of the $50 persons in the stories above received adequate warning. with the exception of those in the basement. Here the sagglng of the floor drove all the clerks to a place of safety just as the building fell The investigation is still in progress.

The Critics,

Once a painter wove a web;
Wove web of glowing glory.
In and out OF the colors flashed:
Flamed and fifcker'd; rose and fell,
Like a wond'rous spirit robe
In an Eastern fairy story.
And the public looked and spoke.
With wealth OF solemn structure,
He must mean 1t for joke.
For it can not be picture"
Once poet flung a glow
From his pen upon his paper.
Sweet scents sprang from open buds;
Sounds rose high. then dropp'd and died
Flames writhed red, like shreds of light
On wind blown altar taper
And the people saw. and said
Ere they'd half perused the proem.
He must have been on his head
When he called that thing a poem. -
Once n master wrote a score,
! Great and grand and full Of wonder.
In II was the JOY OF life:
In II was the grief Of death;
Laughter and the wall OF tears;
Lightning CLEAN and crash OF thunder
And the many headed heard
With frown OF depreciation.
As they murmured "On my word,
What a mad conglomeration"

Force of Christian EXAMPLES,

Sir Henry M. Stanley, the African
explorer, told, himself, how he was
converted by DR.. Livingstone. His
story is as follows: 81 went to Africa
as prejudiced against religion as the
worst infidel in London. To a re-
porter like myself. who had only to
deal with wars, mass meetings and
political gatherings, sentimental mat
tiers were quite out of my province.
But there came to me a long time
for reflection. / was out there away
from a worldly world. saw this
solitary old man there, and asked
myself: Why does he stop here in
such place? What is it that in
spires him?' For months after we
met l found myself listening to him.
wondering at the old man carry out
the words, Leave all and follow Me-
But little by little, seeing his piety,
his gentleness. his zeal, his earnest
ness, and how he went quietly about
his business. l was converted by him,
although he had not tried in any way
to do It,"
