BY. DEADLY FUMES
EXPLOSION OF AMMONIA KILLS
PACKING HOUSE EMPLOYEES.
FIFTEEN MEN WERE DRAGGED OUT
First Body Was Not Taken from the
Building Until Six Hours After
the Accident.

Chicago, Ill.-Five Workmen We're
killed an da dozen others seriously in
jured when an ammonia pipe exploded
in the beef killing department of Ar
mour & Co.'S plant at the stockyards.
The building was full of workmen
at the Tine and the deadly ammonia
fumes, escaping from high pressure,
penetrated through every department
in the building in such a short time
that twenty of the men were over
come before they could make their T.
cape to the fresh air. All but five of
these men were dragged from the
place by their companions in such a
serious condition that it was necessary
to take them to a nearby hospital.
An Intellectual effort to search for
dead in the interior of the building
was made by employees wearing safety
masks, but they were driven back by
the fumes and it was not until six
hours after the explosion that the first
body, that of an unidentified man,
burned beyond recognition, was taken
from the fourth floor. A few minutes
later four other bodies were found, all
of them having been burned in a hor-
rible tanner.
A search of the plant is still being
made for more bodies, as all the men
have not as yet been definitely ac-
counted for.
All of the dead and injured were for
eignerS.

NV York, N. Y.-When, 20 years
ago, Gen. U: S. Grant, in his tour of
the world, was the guest of the en-
peror Of Japan, one of the officers as
signed to attend him was a young col

renown, visited Riverside drive and
there, with impressive oriental cere-
mony, placed a laurel wreath upon
he Americans tomb.
To Gen. Kuroki today's pilgrimage
to Grants tomb was the chief event
OF his stay in New York, and a part
Of his program which he had repeat.

Mississippi
Mtms
Masonic ~Dispensation.

Grand Master Yawn, of the grand
lodge, f. and A. NJ, of Mississippi has
notified all subordinate lodges that
they are given a dispensation to observe
any day during the week of June "A as
st. John the Baptist day. 1t is pointed
out that as the oath of June will occur
on Monday, and as in many instances
it may be inconvenient for the brethren
to celebrate on that day, and further
more that probably there will be some
of the brethren who will desire to at
tend the ceremonies incidental to the
placing of the cornerstone of the Ma
sonic Widows and Orphans Home, on
June "a, a dispensation is granted for
the celebration on any day in that week.

Grand Lodge I. O.. o. F.

The sixty-ninth annual convention of
the Mississippi Odd Fellows deferred
the matter of erecting a widows and
orphans home until next year, when it
is hoped sufficient funds will be on hand
to begin the work of construction. The
city of Hattiesburg has donated twenty
acres and added a cash bonus of $4,000
for the location of the home.
The convention was the most success
full and enjoyable gathering in the his
tory of the fraternity in Mississippi.
The official reports showed a remarka-
BILE gain in membership during the past
year, and an increased enthusiasm.

James Fitzgerald, judge of the su
preme court of New York, who pre-
sided at the Thaw trial, was born in
Ireland in 1857. An intimate friend
says of him: His keynote is force.
There is force in his straight stare,
his firm-set jaw and even in the in
sistent bristle of his clipped mustache.
And yet his gentleness-that certain
adjunct of all true justice-has more
than nee moved the admiration of
the spectators of the late nerve-wreck-
ing drama, and the women of the trial
had reason many times to be thank
full for his native courtesy.

REPUBLICANS SUPPORT FRANTz
Oklahoma and Indian Territory In.
dorse Governors Action.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Five hundred
republicans of Oklahoma and Indian
territory, at a meeting here of the
state central committee, passed reso-
buttons supporting Gov. Frantz in re-
fusing to call an election to vote on
the adoption or rejection Of the con-
stitution drawn for the proposed new
state of Oklahoma; postponing the
state convention previously set for
June 6 until after the issuance of the
election proclamation and condemning
what the resolutions term unfair pro-
visions in the proposed constitution.
There now seems no doubt that the
republicans of the two territories will
unite in opposing the ratification of
the constitution unless modified.

During the severe weather in Janu-
airy the young queen of Spain ordered
that the number of rations given to
the poor at her expense be doubled.
At the beginning of the winter she
gave orders for 1000 rations a day, SO
that now from her own private income
she is paying for 1000 rations daily.
Judged by the American standard, the
queen of Spain does not belong to the
class of the extremely rich. There are
at least SO American women between
the age of 20 and 80 who have private
incomes greater than that enjoyed by
her majesty.
