HAMBURG, DEG. S.-The explosion Of
two gas tanks in, the so-called "Kleine's
Crasbrook," on the Elbe front yesterday,
was followed BY IAN extensive fire
and the loss Of many lives. The explosion
was due to a leak in a new gasometer.
Escaping gas entered the retort house,
where 1t came in contact with the fires,
causing a terrific explosion. A large
number of workmen were engaged In re-
building and charging the plant. Twenty
five Of the men were employed near the
gasometer. They disappeared in a mass
of flame which SHOT up to a great height,
Firemen with apparatus appeared quickly
on the scene, but they were unable to
approach in large force, owing co the
isolated situation OF the establishment.
Up to a late hour tonight ten men are
reported dead and seventeen missing. 1t
is almost certain that all Of these are
dead. Forty men were dangerously in
jured, of whom several cannot recover.
The fire gained rapidly and threatened
the old gasometer, containing 5000 cubic
meters. So Intense was the heat and so
dangerous their position the firemen were
compelled to withdraw to a safe distance,
A terrific explosion soon occurred and the
tower became a mass, Of flames, which
leaped hundreds OF feet in the air. send
ing fragments OF glowing coke far and
wide over the city and harbor.
After strenuous efforts the fire was got
under control and the rescue work was
carried on vigorously, There is little hope
Of finding the bodies OF the missing, II
they have been killed, as they undoubt-
edly have been incinerated.
The new gasometer, which exploded, was
the largest In the world, having a ca
~pacity Of 100000 cubic meters. The city
APPROPRIATED ss,5OO.OOO for its construction.

tiles distinct from God, and making them worthy
of honor and respect independent of Him. To do
that would be idoatry, because it would be giving
them the honor that belongs to God.
The honor and worship extended to the Saints,
because of their sanctity, is given because that
sanctity is as much the work of God as any of His
creative acts 1t is the work of Gods grace. But if
God is and should be honored in all His works, as
has been demonstrated, how much more should He
be honored in His works of grace. These arc
the reasons why the Church. in all ages, sanctions
devotion to the Saints. To deny that they are en-
titled to it is to deny that God is and should be
honored in His own works
This faith old but always new should, on the an
niversary of the Feast of All Saints, serve as a stern
reminder to follow the example of these crowned
heroes, to initiate their lives and practice the vir
tues that endeared them to God. What they did al
can do with Gods grace and assistance "Ask and
you shall receive" The reward, which they saw
in the distance awaiting them and which excited
their zeal and devotion, is the same that is prom
ised to all. Gentle reader on your onward marcel
through life, pause for moment and ask yourself
how you preparing to be worthy of that re
ward? The road that leads to blissful Immortality
is, according to the Holy Ghost, narrow, and Il
promise oneself an entrance by any other than tbs
royal road of the cross is a delusion To be de
ceivcd in matter of such vital importance as the
salvation of ones soul is the height of folly
The Saints of each succeeding generation i'm
plored the intercession of their predecessors be
cause they knew that if according to St James the
prayers of the just, even on earth, prevailed, how
much more would not the prayers of the Saints
who were singing the praises of God in heaven
prevail. Ed.

TWO GAMES FOR THANKSGIVING.

10 play the games of presidential nicknames
give to each guest sheet of paper containing
list of the best known nicknames of our Presidents
They must guess to whom the nickname refers. and
write 1t down After twenty minutes, have some
read the correct answers, and let the lists he
checked up, each player passing his list to his
neighbor in order that there may be fair play. For
the best list prize Of a little American flag NAV
be given
Here is the list with answers and it is suggested
that the nicknames should not be written ont in
proper sequence, but fumbled to make the guessing
more difficult
Father of His Country-George Washington.
The Colossus of Independence-Joh Adams.
The Sage Of Monticello Thomas jefferson.
The True observation-disclosures Madison
Poor, but Spotless-James Monroe
Old Man Eloquent-John Quincy Adams
Old Hickory-Andrew Jackson
Little Magican-Martin Van Buren
Tippecanoe-William Henry Harrison.
Old Rough and Ready Zachary Taylor.
Northern Man With Southern Prnciples-
James Buchanan.
The Rail-Splitter- Abraham Lincoln.
The Silent President-U. S. Grant
Canal Boy-James A. Garfield.
Man of Destiny-Grover Cleveland
The Little Major-William Mckinley
The Rough Rider-Theodore Roosevelt.
Another historical game which is but little trou-
bic to prepare Is to have pasted on cards and num-
bered picture of each President of the United
States These pictures may be obtained from
cheap United States history Give each guest a
sheet of paper and pencil and let them write their
guesses as to the identity of each picture number
ing them to correspond with the numbers on the
cards. 1t will be found that while few of thn
earlier Presidents and few of the latest ones are
easily recognized, there are others whose portraits
are not so familiar, and few players will be able to
fill out their cards correctly.-The Designer

Reverently and carefully the sacred particle is
placed upon each little tongue sending thrill of
Joy through each childish soul. As the lads retire
the misses advance under the guidance of Miss
Norris, the hymn being taken up by the choir III
the organ loft. The girls having received a holy
hush falls upon the congregation. The men swal-
low hard, look straight ahead and nervously finger
their rosaries. The women weep softly to them
