II. Cornelson are we'll attended the
house being full, and are greatly en-
Joyed. The services can hardly fail of
permanent and lasting results for good
DR.. Cornelson's sermons evidence deep
spirituality and earnestness, at the same
time being marked by finish of form, and
an apt use Of poetry and incident. The
style of delivery is oftentimes declama-
tory, but with a naturalness that makes
1t quite effective.
Rev. James r. Graham, Jr., accom-
panied by Mrs. Graham and children, is
here visiting his brother. During his

Rev. William Blacks last meeting
was at Elizabethton in Bladen county.
The Presbyterian church there is small,
but the meeting shows very substantial
results: 25 professions and about 10

spiritual uplift and its membership re-
yived by restoration Of harmony and
Christian goodwill that Is most hopeful.

affection in which DR.. and Mrs. Graham
are held by the entire community.

VICTIMS BODIES

Eleven Men Killed in Dynamite Ex-
plOSiOn.
LARGE FACTORY IS ANNIHILATED
Terrific Explosion In Q DyusmIte Manufacture
log Plant Near Lancaster. Pa.-OnIy One
Building, at Some Distance Prom the
Others. Remains Standing, and Seven Girls
Working There Escape.

Lancaster, Pa. (SpeciaD D-Eleven men
were blown to pieces and five others
were seriously injured by the explosion
OF a dynamite plant near Pequea, along
the Susquehanna River
The accident was one of the most hor-
rible in the history of Lancaster County.
The victims were literally torn to pieces,
not enough remaining of a single body
to make identification possible.
The cause of the explosion is not
known. The two unknown residents of
York County who were killed had just
started to drive from the place with
load OF dynamite. They had scarcely
gone so feet when the plant blew up
with detonation that was plainly heard
IS miles away. A great cloud of smoke
covered the site of the factory, and when
1t had cleared away there was not a YES
tige OF the horses, wagon or men who had
lett the factory only amoment before. The
air was filed with debris and fragments
of human bodies, and pieces of flesh and
limbs were found hanging to the trees
nearly 100 yards from the scene of the
disaster. People living near the factory
tuSned OUT OF their homes and began the
work OF rescue, but there were few per-
sons in the immediate vicinity Of the
explosion who had not been blown to
atoms. The remains of these were gath
cred up and placed i'll soap boxes.
The injured, some of whom, it is
thought, will die, were taken to their
homes in the vicinity. George and Ben
jamin Rineer, who were killed, were
sons of Martin Rineer, one of the in
jured.
The plant consisted of a dozen beild-
ings All were blown to pieces except a
remote structure, in which seven girls
were at work
The dynamite plant was owned by c..
R. McAbee & Co., of Pittsburg, and
manufactured explosives fro use in the
Pennsylvania railroad construction work,
under way in that section. 1t was sit
uated midway between Pequca and Mar
tic Forge.

EFFECT OF THE BEEF TRUST.
Some Talk Of Shutting Out American Canned
Meats From Canada.

Ottowa, Ont, (SpcciaD. - Several
members of the House OF Commons ap-
parently consider the Chicago meat
packers revelations enough too warrant
Canada prohibiting the importation of
American canned goods. Robert Bick-
erdike, Nj. p. of Montreal, says:
I'm view of the revelations touching
the Chicago packers the question is
whether our government should not take
steps to prohibit the importation Of all
canned stuff from the United States.
You cannot inspect the stuff once it
gets into the cans unless YOU do it
miscroscopically. The surest way would
be entire prohibition, at least for the
present, and until such assurance is
given as will restore public confidence.
There has been talk about bringing
this matter before the House, and it
would be proper to see how we stand
ourselves in this matter of cleanliness
where packing is concerned. II the
prohibition was carried out I think
Canada could supply its own demand.
but even if not better that the people
should do without than run any risk
from poisonous food"

One trouble with being good is you

A rich woman hardly ever gets her
moneys worth out of the man she
marries.
When a girl doesn't want you 10 kiss
her, she will think worse of you If
you don't.
It's mighty uncomfortable to have
to do good deed because somebody
expects you to.
A nice thing about having only one
bad habit is you can spend so much
more money on it.
The more taxes a man pays the mad

things he pays them on.
If a woman always agrees with you
she has no individuality, and If she
doesn't she is contraryminded.
