FOUR COOKED ALIVE.
Twenty Others Are Fatally Injured
BY Explosion.

Butler, Pa. Especially An explo-
sion, caused by the upsetting of the
metal pot in the No. cupola of the
Standard Steel Company here, caused
the death of men, fatally injured
20 and seriously injured 10 others.
Nearly all the men were foreign
ers.
The large wheel plant, $50 by 100
feet, was demolished, causing loss
estimated at 100000.
The hot metal was showered over
the men, causing horrible injuries.
Arms, fingers and ears were torn OH,
while a number of the men had
their eyes burned out. Several men
are in the hospital, with their legs
burned to a crisp.
At midnight the physicians attend
ing the injured said that at least 10
of the men would die. Buildings in
the city, from the force of the ex-
plosion, shivered as If shaken by an
earthquake and people rushed from
their homes panic-stricken. When
flames shot from the burning car
works fully 10000 people rushed to
the scene, blocking streets and inter-
fering with fire companies and ambu-
lances. Twenty minutes after the
accident 1 s doctors were on the scene
and the wounded were carried into
the Office of the car company, where
they were cared for.
Through lack of room many of the
injured were compelled to lie for an
hour on cots in street cars, before it
was possible to take them to the
hospital, a mile and a half away.
Members of the fire department and
citizens assisted in caring for the
men, who were totally naked and
suffering intensely with the cold.

Amnesty For Carl Han.

Berlin (By Cable) Carl Hau, the
Amrican lawyer who was sentenced
to death at Carlsruhe for the muir
der of Frau Molitor at Baden-Baden,
will probably benefit by the general
amnesty about to be granted on the
occasion of the accession to the
throne of new grand Duke of
Baden. The sentence will probably
be committed to one of life imprison-
ment.

THAW TRIAL DECEMBER 2
Martin w. Littleton to Appear For
Prisoner.

New York Especially Harry K.
Thaw's second trial for the killing of
Stanford White will begin December
2. This agreement was reached be-
tween District Attorney Jerome, Mar
tin w. Littleton, counsel for Thaw,
and Justice Bowling, of the Supreme
Court. Mr. Littleton wanted the date
fixed for November l, but Mr.. Jerome
opposed this, and offered the date
which was selected.
Mr.. Littleton asked for either the
dismissal of the indictment against
Thaw or to have the date for his
second trial fixed for the first Mon
day in November, declaring it would
be an injustice to hold his client
longer without trial.
District Attorney Jerome said that
the state of the calendar was such
that public business would be SER
iously disturbed If the case were
called in November, and suggested
the first Monday in December.
I'VE will be prepared them" said
Mr.. Jerome, land will move the case
that day in this COURT
Mr.. Littleton said If Mr.. Jerome
must. prsonally try the case he would
consent to fixing the date for De-
cember 2. A special panel of jurors
will be drawn for that date.
Mr.. Littleton, formerly Of Texas.
later president of the Borough of
Brooklyn, and now chief counsel for
the defense in the Thaw trial, stopped
in a cigar store In the World Build
ing with newspaper man with whom
he is friendly.
"a somewhat interesting coinci-
dence," remarked the friend, sis that
you are the third nominator of a
presidential candidate who has been
brought into Thaw's defense. First,
there was Ex-Governor Black, who
put Roosevelt in nomination; then
there was Dolphin M. Delmas. who
put Hearst in nomination for the
same office, and now they have
chosen the man who nominated ex-
Judge Parker for the presidency"
Perhaps" replied the former
Texan, 1--WE may yet get around to
the man who put Bryan in nomina-
| ton and interest him in the case"

Monday Forenoon.
Mrs. Sylvester Scott: Have
known Howard and Wiley for
some years. Friday before killing,
Howard came to our ranch 6 O. o'clock
in evening; ate supper and stayed
all night. Howard had gun tied

Wiley arrived half hour after How

they had talked several times that
night and after breakfast in the
morning. In morning Wiley took
Scott's field glasses and 1910 VIM

went down road toward Florence.
Did not see anyone else going that
way that morning except Swan
Knudson who passed ranch half
hour later. Heard five shots half
hour after. Sound came from d.
rection Of the point where Knudson
was killed. Sounded as though two
guns were used. Saw Howard and
Wiley come from that direction
shortly after with guns down by side
and went to haystack near Scott
home and poked them under cover.
Howard then came to barn and
packed flour on horse and started
for home. Took no guns away and
seemed in q hurry. He returned
lash rope Monday morning after
killing. She said to him at that
time, "Am afraid this business will
get OUT" and Howard replied, 'No,
if you keep those guns hid every
thing will be alright" Howard's
boy came month later, went to hay
stack and got gun. Didn't see gun
Wiley had until after that. On

Knndson was to be killed but
feared to tell him so when he passed

about the old place that attracts.
But | was not attracted here
this time-somebody else was
and | had to come along. To the
women this town has a peculiar
interest, and it is out of the
question for a man accompanied
by his wife to pass through
France and cut out Paris. From
their early girlhood they have
been hearing and reading about
it, and have seeL in their fashion
journals the pretty bonnets and
lovely gowns made here. The
very name of the city has be-
come dear to their hearts. Let
them come and see It, | wish
that every woman and girl in
the land could pay it a visit, for
IL is the Mecca 10 which every
lady enjoys pilgrimage. 1t is

thing that can CRAFTY the love
OF display is here. The city has
on it's best looks and it looks
well. The streets and boulevards
are lined and crowded with ira
ders and sight-seers, many OF
whom are themselves beautiful
sights. II it be lawful for a mar
ried man to say so, this deponent
would further aver that the wo
men of Paris are pretty. Just
how much their fine dressing
adds TO their natural beauty
am unable to say. But they GER
tainly know how to dress. They
have reduced to perfection the
art of harmon'z ng colors and.
like the skillful painter, they
have made art surpsss nature.
From head to foot their raiment
is faultless. The fiji is perfect and
the figure shown. They carry
themselves well and their step
is elastic. Like every thing else in
Paris, they move right along
except while gazing in the show
windows. Neither winters wealth.

them from going ON "dress pa.

The chief attractions of Paris,
aside from its magnificent pub
lie buildings and monuments,
are it's palaces and museums con-
tanning priceless treasures of
art. All of them are open to
the public and no charge for ad-
mission. Students flock here
from every where to study and
copy the old masters. Scores of
them may be seen in the Louvre
copying Rubens, Murillo, Van
Dyck and others. The pale faces
OF these students too plainly tell
that their devotion to art is at
the expense of their health. In
the palace at Versailles, eigh-
teen miles from Paris. is another
large collection Of pictures and
statuary, mostly representing
historical scenes and persons.
Versailles can be reached by
steam trans and also bv regular
trains. There is one thing that
these people will not let you for
get, and that is that they once
had a citizen named Napoleon.
Pictures, statues and monuments
of him every where, and streets,
hotels and public places named
in commemoration of his battles
and victories-bu nothing nam
ed Waterloo. Perhaps the chief
attraction in the city is the tomb
of the great murderer. 1t is
visited by streams of people,
winter and summer. 1t is shown
to the stranger with evident
pride. No man ever made so
many orphans and widows, or
sacrificed so many precious lives
of his own people, and yet the
French nation loves his memory.
Just now the all absorbing to-
pic in Paris is the row over the
separation Of church and state.
The law in regard to separation,
and its enforcement by the pre-
sent Ministry, has made the
Catholics as mad as hornets.
The Pope at Rome is "bucking"
the law if you will pardon the
expression--and his followers
here are right with him. Feel
ing is high and some very un-
wise talk is INDUCED in by peo.
pie who profess to be christians.
Our landlord is most devout
Catholic (and mighty clever
fellow he is too), and we wor-
shipped with his persuasion on
last Sabbath. The service was

She is loath to quit "the carpet

by reason of her talent in de.
ceiving the observers eye, she
still looks well. In fact, l have
seen but one real homely looking
woman in Paris, but she brought
down the average of Partisan
beauty enormously. She was so
ugly that it gave one the heart
burn to look at her. But l do
not wish to be unjust to the la

have caught it, too. AS rule

class, stylish goods, and look
well. So strong is the contagion
of style that | came near falling
victim to it. My ancient sport
ing propensity threatened TO re-
assert itself-but few enqui
ries about prices were sufficient
to put me to longing for the
simple life.

Eat, drink and be merry is the
very essence OF French phiioso-
ply. That the French people
drink a great deal is we'll known.

here can see it. Their beverage
is wine; they drink but little beer.
