AIR PUMP "JOKE" COSTS LIFE
Steel Worker Found to Have Been
Killed by Prank of Fool
Connnanions
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PITTSBURG, July "details of a
fiendish practical joke perpetrated upon
Stephen Borgeon, a young Homestead
steel worker, whose internal organs
are said to have been blown to pieces
by fellow workmen with a compressed
air pump, causing him to die in fright
full agony the following day, have come
to the attention of Coroner Armstrong.
The body has been eXhumed and an
autopsy held. AS a result a warrant
was issued for John Pretchem, the
workman who is said to have applied
the air to Borgeon, but he has not been
arrested, having left Homestead a few
days after Borgeon was buried. Other
arrests are expected also.
Borgeon died in June and was quiet
Iy buried in st. Mary's cemetery. His
friends sought to keep the facts con-
cerning the injuries which resulted in
his death from becoming known, but
the mill authorities reported the death
later.
The trouble which led to the death of
Borgeon occurred i'm the Homestead
steel works. One of the workmen, said
to have been Pretchem, had fallen
asleep near an open window when Bor-
geon is alleged to have approached him
and rudely awakened him by thrusting
at him the nozzle of compressed air
pipe carrying several hundred pounds
pressure.
Borgeon's act was keenly resented by
the workman, who rushed after Bor-
geon, and Selling and throwing him
down applied the air pipe TO his body
in such a manner that the compressed
air brought death.

NEW YORK, July THE boom in

Mrs. Eardley, who lives in Brooklyn,

land section of the town. Mr.. Pritchard
paid a deposit, and Mrs. Eardley signed
a contract agreeing to surrender the
lots to him for a certain price.
Within the last four days prices of
Flushing property have jumped up as
much as % or 50 per cent in one day.
Mrs. Eardley heard of this and her soul
was sad. She called at Mr.. Pritchards
office yesterday morning.

NEW CHURCH HYMNAL IS

LONDON, July 1.-THE English
Hymnal," of which a new and revised
edition has just been issued by Henry
F'rowde of the Oxford University Press,
will be a formidable rival to the new
Hymns Ancient and Modern" which
came in for such sharp criticism when
1t appeared in its revised form last
year.
The most striking feature of the new
book is its modernity.
For instance, Aubrey de We're, the
mystical Irish poet, is represented by
one hymn; Laurence Housman, the
author of IAN Englshwomans Love
Letters" and THE Sensitive Plant" 4"
has twelve, and William Canton, who
wrote The Invisible Playmate" a year
or two ago, contributes two, one of
which Immediately follows a we'll
known hymn by John Bunyan.
Two prominent high churchmen of
the present day have helped consider
ably to swell the volume. Athelstan
Riley, the well-known educationst,
who has a private chapel i'm his house,
has a dozen hymns under his name,
while the Rev. Percy Dearmer has
nineteen.
The book has decidedly literary
tone, and the compilers have shown
much catholicity in their tastes. Here
are rev or tle ldlueS IdilOuS III III
erature to be found in the index; Sam
uel Johnson, Thomas Carlyle, William
Cullen Bryant, Thomas Moore, oliver
Wendell Holmes, Edmund Spenser,
Lord Tennyson, Christina Rossetti and
j. G. Whittier.
Together appear the names of poets
so diverse in style and age as the Ven
cradle Bede. Charles Kingsley and
Rudyard Kipling. Kipling is repre-
sented, of course, by the 'Recessional,
without which no anthology or hymn
book is complete nowadays.
Canon Ainger the late master of the
temple, has two, and DR.. Maclagan,
the archbishop of York, two also, and
Mr.. Gladstone Is credited with one,
"oh, Lead My Blindness by the
Hand"
Charles Wesley are included. as are
immortal works like Rock of Ages,
abide With Me" Lead! Kindly
Light and Nearer My God, to Thee. "
Here are three verses from three
hymns which show the spirit that lifts
the book far above the level of its pre-
Aecessors. The first is from a fine

the steam railroad people have been looking

systems to electric roads, because it will
be cheaper to run than steam and can be run

THERESE RAQUIN AS
PORTRAYED BY KALICH
Zola's Great Play Given an Intense
Interpretation by the Great
Actress.

In her premier OF Zola's "Therese
Raquin,' yesterday afternoon at the
Belasco Theater. Nine. Bertha KaIich
established more firmly than ever be-
fore her claim as one of the leading ex-
pOnents of dramatic art.
The play is one of the most powerful
expositions of the retributive justice Of
an awakened conscience that has ever
been written. 1t is drama in which
anything short OF the highest merit on
the part of the actors would be Of
fensive, but in the hands of genuine
artists its tragic finale is a moral as
we'll as an artistic necessity.
Nine Kalich as Therese Raquin gave
an Interpretation superior to her Mon
ma Wanna" in that she seemed TO grasp
more fully the subtle and delicate shades
OF expression and intonatious of voice
required. In the most powerful scene
of the drama In which she endeavors to
goad Laurent 10 elf-destruction there
is in her faunting. demoniacaI laughter
the suggestion of a colossal fear which
prevents her from appearing as revolt
ing creature who has fathomed all crime
for the sake OF unholy desire
In her noteworthy delineation there
Is but one false note. at the end of
the second act when in an unforeseen
manner the mother has by strange eig-

OF course there are a few women
who will submit to their husbands
and buy some such hats as were

number are free agents; they are not
ridden down by any mans ignorance;
and they Will take to the pie pan
overhead as nonchalantly as their
husbands and brothers take to it
lower down.
As we have said-the styles are
here. We know better than TO get
IN their way. We look them over
timidly, modestly, reverently-and
we are more and more impressed at
the smiling courage with which our
girls assume hsndicaps that threaten
their good looks so far and cost their
pocketbooks so much.

of the two criminals. Therese turns 70
her lover with a smile in which there
is NOT the slightest suggestion of con-
