DYNAMITE STAYS TIGER

VINCENNES, Ind. April ia
heavy charge of dynamite, said to
have been placed by the temperance
faction in the lobby of the drug store
of David A. Bruner at Sandborn this
county. exploded today with a report,
tearing the building to pieces AMI
wrecking the main part of the town.
Bruner. it is alleged, has been run
ming a blind tiger for years, and de-
the practice.
The explosion aroused the citizens,
who thought that an attempt was be-
ing made to rob the bank, and they
went to the scene armed with guns.
The front of the building was blown,
about fifty feet and bottles and drugs
were scattered all over the stree.
Bruner estimates his loss at $4,000,
but will not quit business.
The Vandalia station. Knights OF
Pythias hall. Commercial hotel, Poh-

building. and H. L. Renner's residence
were damaged by the explosion.

ADJUSTMENTS
Mr.. WALKER WHlTEslDE.

Today it is questionable If there is
a finer or more finished master of
fencing on the stage than the young
actor. Walker Whiteside. who comes
to the Keylor Grand, April Is, with
his company and his new play. the
Magic Melody.1 Ever since he took
to the stage as a profession, Mr..
Whiteside has realized the Importance
of the rapier or the foil, and he has
gone diligently ahead until he now
ranks as the peer of anyi one.
Strangely enough few. actors are good
fencers. Those who have achieved
distinction in the. art may almost be
numbered on the fingers of one hand.
Kyrle Bellew, Edwin Arden, E. n.
Sothern, James K. Hackett,,' Walker
Whiteside and the list is to all in
tents and purposes exhausted These
men know the sword as Others, know
the gold stick, and in the play of the
foils they find their keenest pleasure
and their greatest relaxation.
Mr.. Whiteside early took up the
art, for he realized that there is moth
ing that so puts damper upon a
mans acting as to have use for the
sword, and to find himself incapable
of using it with good effect. Regis
Senac, one of the finest teachers of
fencing in the world, was Mr.. White
sides master, and since len he has
met many masters in the art. Years
ago-four or five perhaps-Mr. White
side was in ST. Petersburg, and there
he met a Greek who was accounted
the finest maitre d'armes in Russia.
He was attached to the cZar's house,
hold regiment, and Mr.. Whitesde mea

whose name was Dimitri Georgeopou-
los was good enough to compliment
the young actor on his skill, and to
proph es,y q future for him if he should
take up the foil as a profession. But

FOR MERCY SUNDAY.

The American Humane association
has issued an appeal to all churches
to set apart one Sunday during the
month of April each year for preach
ing directed especially to awakening
sympathy for children and dumb ami
mails, for those who cannot help them
selves.
There are already many Sundays
set apart for special objects. There
is a flower Sunday, a home mission
Sunday, a childrep's Sunday, a tenn
perance Sunday, and so on. Protest
ant churches, while getting away from
the calendar of the Christian year as
observed in Catholic churches, show
signs Of falling into Journalism of their
own in assigning different Sundays to
special observance. So far as known
there is no objection on the part of
churches to this assignment OF days.
and the tendency seems to be grow
ing stronger. 1t would be a logical
conclusion to find in Protestant
churches a few years from now eth
err a hard and fast distribution of
particular topics to particular days
throughout the year of reaction to-
ward perfect freedom.
In the meantime. if topic is lack
ing for any day, the one suggested by
the Humane association is good one.
Cruelty to animals and GRITTY to chill
dren have not yet Leen driven from
the earth. 1t may be said that of the
two offenses the former is the less
common. Property interests lead the
owner of an animal to take care Of it,
and abuse of draft animals on the
streets is quickly stopped now by pub
lie clamor and the hand of the law.
But there are parts of the United
States where there is no law pro-
tecting the children, where there is
no publ sentiment protecting the
children, and where the children are
sold into slavery at so early an age
that they are not fully aware Of the
wrongs which they suffer.
Whatever method is to be employed
to put an end to child slavery, wheth-
er by a campaign of education, show
ing parents the folly as we'll as the
cruelty Of their exploitation of the
children, or by a national law, or by
labor. or by the efficacy of prayer, it
is proper that such a movement begin
with the churches. In the lives of
the saints there are many distin-
guished by their love for the helpless,
whether children or our dumb broth
ers. The teachings of every religion
are opposed to cruelty. A mercy Sun
day, with teachings of gentleness to-
ward the weak and stanch defense of
them against powerful oppressors
would not be out of place in April
or any other month. And the preach
er in his charity should not forget
that EVIL is wrought by want of
thought as well as want of heart"

pany'S waiting hands.
Tempanys home run was the only
redeeming feature of the last part of
inning four: but it was one, two. three,
sit down gentlemen, for the Tigers in
the fore part of number five.
Butler gave McAllister Transport
tation to sack one, in the next inning
and Wickersham sent him to second
on a sacrifice. but BoeWer could not
reach first and Hanaman was dead.
so the Tigers started in that terrible
sixth inning. in which they added
three long marks to their account.
Hurley and Downey both bingled
and although Burnett and Whaling did
not make good. Clynes came up with
a home run at the wrong time for the
Walla Walla boys and cashed in all
three. The small boys got crumb
of satisfaction over taunting Shea as
he famed.
Walla Walla's sixth was almost a
duplicate of the Tiger sixth. Both
made three and each had a home run.
Lankard knocked a long fly over CEN
terfielders head. Miller tipped up to
Clynes in left field, but Iampany put
another over the fence. Harmon got

WHERE CONCRETE FAILS.

Concrete failures is the subject of
an article in the current issue of Fire
proof Magazine. The writer, who has
been investigating the methods of Ger
tain manufactures of Portland ce-
ment. the chief ingredient of concrete,
gives some significant facts as to the
causes of the numerous cOllapses of
buildings in which this material has
been used. He says:
1T is only when a cOroner's inquest
becomes necessary that the crcum-
stances connected with concrete floors,
roof and other failures, are made
known known through the press, that
we learn particulars that can throw
light upon the cause and the result.
"A great deal of cement is supplied
by merchants, who keep stocks of diff
ferent manufacturers to suit the de-
mands of customers. Builders, mer-
chants. clerks and storekeepers are
often credited with ringing the
changes when a certain brand of ce-
ment inquired for is not in stock, pre-
sumably in the interests of their en-
ployers, who possibly are unaware of
what has been done.
One firm of manufacturers states in
its trade lists that it supplies three
qualities of cement-"frst second and
contractors qualities That others
besides the purchaser may not be
aware of the quality it is sometimes
the custom to give fanciful names to
the different kinds, which are branded
on the sacks.
