CHILDREN IN A PANIC.

Terrified By Black Hand stories l,0OC
children stampeded in Polish psrOchial
school in jersey City yesterday when
fireworks we're set OF in the street below,
and in the mad rosh for the doors Il
we're crushed, one so seriously that
death probably will result.
The schoohouse, q three'story brick
building, is a stones throw from en-
Itslian church, which bad obtained a
permit to set of fireworks dnring q
church celebration yesterday. A rumor
got out last week among the children in
lower jersey City schools that threats
had been made to blow up the schools
rilh dynamite. The children Of st
ADthony's school have been particularly
Oervous about il, and when the bombs
went of suddenly yesterday they ran
shrieking from their recitation rooms in
to the halls and down the stairwaJs.
There are two street dOOrSays, but ont
of them was closed. At the closed en-.
trance there occurred disastrous JAM
Rere several of the smaller children
were trampled into unconscious, while
others ran back into the building and

Policemen and psssersby, attracted BY
the cries, rushed to the scsne, but order

EARTHQUAKES PREDICTED.

Frank A. Perret, the American vol
csnologist, who arrived at Messina yes.
terday, believes that psIt of the world
will again be the scene of seismic dis
tuTbances. Mr. Perret said:
"WedOesdsy, September 29, is the
date most favorable for earthquakes or
eruptioDs, At that time the SUP, earth,
aud the moon are in line with each
other and the moon also is ct her nesrest
approach to the earth. This combins-
ton occurs frequently, tending to produce
eravitstional distortion CT the earth's
form, namely to change the earth
from a sphere to a spheroid. This extra
strain often fcts upon The weak spots in
the earth's crust causing them to give
way and thus producing earthquakes or
volcapic ernptions.
"Oo Wednesday it happens that the
planet Mars also is nearest to the earth
and also almost directly in line with the
earth, SUD, aud moon, while Sa urn is
not far from the same line. Jupiter, Sl-
though far on the other side OF the sun,
is also 10 line with the earth. 1t is
! true that the effect of these planets ia
very much less than that of the sun
and the moon, bat when their effect is
added the strain will be greater than
usual.
"Thus, l couRider that Tuesday, Wed
nesday, and Thursday next will be very
dangerous. Possibly nothing very spe-
cisl will soon occur, but this will simply
mean that the carth has resisted the
danger tina. nevertheless existed"

NEW METHOD OF CONCRETE
HOUSE CONSTITUTIONS.

A new method OF combining rein
forcing and concrete in the building
of concrete homes is described with
illustration in the October number OF
Popular Mechanics. 1t is an entirely
original combination of steel tubing,
wire, msllesble fittings and concrete,
and with the exception o. piers, the
concrete is not depended on to carry any
of the load, but is used only as sliffenel
or body to the building.
The entire framework can be erected
before the concrete work is started,
making it possible to inspect the po-
sition sad quality of the steel and tc
erect building In much shorter time
that is required by other methods. Nc
forms or ceutering are required, which
is another great advantage.

MY CREED.

NJ creed is based on love and truth.
Through tottering age or rushing youth;
In doing every day some good
To all my human Brotherhood.
My creed IS found IN hope and Joy
For every girl and every boy.
To laugh and sing from hour 70 hour
And sparkle like a dewy flower.
Ny creed Is liberty fog all
Upon this green terrestrial ball;
As free as angles in their flight
Or stars that sparkle through the night.
My creed dehes the tyrant crew
And all the crimes that they pursue;
Delighted when they lose their breath
And sink into dishOnorcG death.
Ny creed is not made up by man,
Pretending 10 some heavenly plan.
Subject 20 change from year N year
And based on battered human fear.
nv creed is found alone in God
Who placed ne here upon the sod
To think and act "a free as air.
And be myself to do aud dare.

OF his gave birth TO the Western News
Company. now known all over the coun-
try. This business grew 10 large proper
TONS but II still was too narrow for the
horizon OF Mr.. Walsh He invested his
income judiciously in various ways and
in a few years was rated as a man OF

Wanted Political Power.
He began 10 appreciate that political
influence oftentiues Is n good asset for a
fnancier and that publicity also has its
value Ths force OF the man made him a
power in local politics and HIS shrewdness
qualified him for advice 20 the party lead
ers. lie came into control OF the Chicago
Herald and founded the Evening Post.
Both OF these properties he sold subse-
Guently but he had learned the lesson OF
publicity and later established the Chi
csgo Chronicle. when ne published for
months after his bank had collapsed.
When that financial crash came the
newsboy had evolved into the man who
was credited with fortune Of 100000.
In addition 70 establishing his three
banks, he had built up a system OF rail-
roads and had invested large amounts in
stone quarries and coal mines. The mo-
tive for the railroad system was the tap
ping OF the natural resources or Indiana,
Illinois. ard Missouri primarily. Ulu-
mately the system was TO be extended
into Michigan and Wisconsin.
To develop this ambitious railroad
| scheme required more millions than Walsh
had. But he had a source from which 10
draw funds-his banks. He was not long
getting busy with this money. AS each
piece Of property needed capital he would
sell 10 the Chicago National Bank the
bonds OF the enterprise at % up 10 par.

PAINT FAULTS.

It is a common occurrence nova
days to hear man remark with dis
gust: 1T is impossible to have good
painting done these days; either the
paint is not good or there are no good
painters" This, however. is not true.
There is good paint, and there are
good painters. But the question is.
bringing them together. t.
One cannot expect satisfactory
painting job without pure white lead.
There is way to make sure you are
getting pure white lead without test
ing it. See that the keg bears Ma
tional Lead Company's famous Dutch
Boy Painter trademark, which Is a
positive guarantee Of purity. However,
anyone can test white lead. National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg.
New York City, will send you lead
tester and painters outfit, consisting
of book of color schemes, specifica-
tions, ETC., upon request.
