BOMB ExPLoDEs IN ST. PETERS.
People are Panic Stricken but No One
Is Hurt.

Rome, Nov. ia bomb was ex-
ploded in st. Peters Sunday. The
edifice was crowded and an indescrib-
able scene of confusion followed.
There were no fatalities. The peo-
pie fed in all directions and a num-
Der of women tainted. The church is
so large, however, that there was am
pie room for the crowd to scatter and
no one was injured. No trace of the
perpetrator of the deed has been
found
Sunday was the anniversary of the
dedication of the basilica to st. Peter,
and large number of the faithful at
tended the services. Cardinal Ram
polla, formal papal secretary of state,
was among those present.
The pope was engaged in his regular
noon-hour devotions when the bomb
went off. He heard a muffled sound
which surprised but did not alarm
him. Mons. Misciatelli, sub-perfect
of the apostolic palaces, and Mons.
Bisleti, major domo of the Vatican, at
once hurriedly entered the pontiffs
chamber. They were SO pale that the
pope Immediately asked: What has
happened?"
Don't be alarmed, holy father"
was the answer. "a bomb has ex-
ploded in the basilica, but fortunate
ly there are no deaths to deplore and
no one has been wounded"
The pontiff asked anxiously if the
church had been injured. Upon being
treasured he fell on his knees, saying
he must implore mercy for the mis-
guided.

The Teachers Privilege.


What nobler profession can there
be than that of passing on to younger
human beings the best there is in us?
It Is rather 8 strange contradiction
that while education is highly valued
in our country, teaching on the whole
has less honor than it deserves. at
is pity that, commonly, more care is
had, yea, and that among very wise
men, to find out rather cunning man
for their horse than cunning man
for their children" We do not pay
our teachers enough for our own good,
since liberal salary attracts talent
not only in itself but because It Is a
symbol OF success. Half q million
Americans are now engaged in doing
what they can with 10000, 900 younger
minds. Surely no half million Ameri.
cans are employed in more important
work. Teach self-denial," said Wal.
ter Scotx (and something might be
said Of other virtues) land make it's
practice pleasurable, and you create
for the world a destiny more sublime
than ever issued from the brain Of
the widest dreamer" Teach anything
that is good, remarks Golfers, and
you touch the depths. The ablest and
truest man and women are required
those who know life and are not
pedants, not machines with notions of
suggestion no higher than the ferule
and the copy-book. The teacher works
with living minds and hearts and
souls. On no man or woman rests q
higher or more inspiring task.

TRUCE FOR negro
TROOPS ORDERED
FURTHER DISCHARGES OF COL
oRED TROOPS SUSPENDED
BY SECRETARY TAFT.
War Department Deluged with Pro-
tests and Further Investigation
May Be Made of the Shooting Incl
dent at Brownsville, Tex.

Washington, Nov. 20.-Acting un-
der orders of Secretary Taft, Maj.
Gen. Ainsworth, the military secre-
tary, has directed that further dis
charges of the men of the three negro
companies of the Twenty-fifth in
fantry, on account of the shooting at
Brownsville, Tex, be suspended
pending further orders. The action, it
is stated, is in order to await the re-
turn of Secretary Taft to Washington
and is pending further advices from
President Roosevelt, who has been
communicated with on the subject.
The war department has been del
uged with protests against the order
directing the discharge of the three
companies. 1t is reported that a
further investigation will be made
and that certain officers may be
called on for an explanation in con-
nection with the movements of these
men at the time the Brownsville incl
dent occurred.
What Mr.. Oliver Says.
"The three companies of the Twen-
ty-fifth infantry were ordered dis
charged because it is not safe to have
them in the army. They cannot be
trusted and for the protection of the
public and the preservation of the
discipline of the army their discharge
is necessary" Acting Secretary Oliver
of the war department, said Monday.
"The idea seems to prevail that the
men were ordered discharged be-
cause they refused to tell on their
companions and because they are
black, Nothing could be further from
the truth. These soldiers shot up a
town. All of them refuse to tell any
thing about the disgraceful affair at
Brownsville which resulted in muir
der. The companies are shielding
murderers. There are men in the COM
panies who are criminals Of the worst
sort Every effort possible has been
made by the war department to find
the guilty men, but without avail. If
these companies were permitted to
remain in the service and were to
shoot up another town and again en-
danger the lives of citizens the war
department would be in an indefens-
IDLE position. 1t is impossible 10 court
martial each of the men in these COM
panies, for charge cannot be pre-
