Explosion HurIs Man rNtOugh two Walls.

Coroner H. A. March and American
Sheet and Tin Plate company officials
are conducting an investigation Of
the boiler explosion at the Steel trust
plant. Sixteen fnen we're killed and
several of the thirty injured are near
death. The body of Romano Boyer,
Roumanian ash hauler, was blown
like a cannon ball eco feet from the
plant through the front of residence,
tearing clearly through both walls,
through the fence of an adjacent yard
and into the ground in fnrrow.
The larger part of one of the boilers,
weighing several tons, was hurled
1000 feet oyer the top of a building
so feet high into a field beyond. A
twisted steel bar dropped like bomb
through the roof of a residence BOG
feet away, tearing bed to pieces.
The boiler room was demolished and
the larger part of the main plant
wrecked. The Canton plant, which
the men call the "scrap heap of the
trust" has been alternately operated
and closed since Its construction
twenty years ago.
Charles Gabe, a heater. had q
miraculous escape. -Four men around
him were killed, but he was not
touched. Arthur Yessum, night fore
man, had gone into the shop and was
walking back toward the stockade
when the boilers exploded. He said
he stood inside the yard and watched
the bodies fall around him. The first
thought of the foreigners was that

Roosevelt Scores Greatest Triumph at
Luncheon Given by King GeOree.

I.ondon.-Details just coming to
light indicate that Col. Theodore
Roosevelt scored the greatest success
of his EUROPEAN tour at the luncheon
which King George gave Immediately
following the funeral of King Ed
ward. sit was a wonderful personal
triumph" is the manner in which enc
of the guests expressed his opinion.
Every one in attendance now admits
that Roosevelt was the dominating
figure of the function which war at
tended by l2O kings, princes, dukes
and untitled representatives at the
funeral of the late king. Those roy
alties who had not yet been present
ed crowded about Roosevelt eager
for an introduction.
The ex-president was literally be-
seiged by royal questieners to learn
his views of European politics, but
he was on his guard and countered
by an avalanche of questions regard
ing the duties, burdens and cenpEn-
sations of kingships. For more than
an hour this crossfre of questions
continued and finally developed into
the distinctiYe feature of the
luncheon. So interested did the not
able assemblage, the greatest gath
ering of royalty ever seen at such a
function, become in the colonel, that
for time the note OF sorrow oyer
the burial of King Edward was lost
sight of. Roosevelt's personally
swept everything else aside.
Col, Roosevelt and his family were
at Wrest Park, the country home of
Ambassador Reid. They remained
there until Monday, when they re-
turned to be the guests for a few
days of Col. Arthur Lee, M. p, who
was the British military attache at
Washington during the Spanish
American war and who accompanied
Gen. Shafter to Cuba.

An Interview With EiaIIey's Comet.
(From Woman's National Daily.)


Matteawan, N. Y, May 30, delayed
in Escaping).-Some confusion exists
in the minds of astronomers and
scientists because they didn't get a
sight at the comets tail at just the
time they expected to. You have
seen man stop smoking to talk so
long that his pipe went out. Well,
that is just what happened to Mr..
aalley's tramp. He had seen so
many things on his travels that he
just had to tell about them, and he
was so hot he needed rest badly.
This is what he calls the busy end of
his run. OFF through those countless
tons of miles of space through which
he saunters for seventy-fye years he
says there isn't "much doing. "
Water is scarce in that country, he
says, and crops are poor. Irrigation
is badly needed, he declares, especial
ly in one country which he visits
regularly.
He says he is always glad to get
back in the neighborhood of the
earth. People on this sphere, he ad-
mits, are about the only ones that
pay much attention to him. Some
time, oh, years and years hence, he
thinks, he may pay us little closer
call.
Mr.. Comet says he passed over
Europe on his way, but was astonish-
ed that he attracted so little atten-
ton until he discovered the cause.
"Your Theodore I, do you call him?"
said the comet, "seems to be monopo-
Iizing all the attention oyer there"
The fact was explained that we on
this hemisphere have no kings; that
We call our great men colonel or SEN
ator.
mo, you have no kings-not yet, :"
answered the wise old tramp, "but
you are young. Wait until I come
again and let us see"
"Are you responsible for all this
frosty, disagreeable weather." Mr..
Comet was asked.
"Do I LOOK much like a frost?''
queried the stranger, with just
tinge of Indignation. ~ don't think
was ever so hot in all my life. No
am not in the ice business. L wish
sometimes that 1 were"
"What is all this talk about Uncle
Joe Cannon?' asked the tramp, re-
hectively. 81 wonder if he is the
younster who was born in North Caro-
lima about year after L was here
the last time before this. 1 heard an
awful racket before got far away,
and l have been hearing it most of
the time since. 1t hasn't been quite
30 bad lately. 1 wonder what the
matter is. Well, sir. as l said, that
noise has been kept up most of the
time for-let's see-seventy-four
years. At first 1 couldn't make much
out of it, but for years and years now
it has sounded a good deal like the
language they speak in that country
where the need for irrigation is so
great.
mo, I'm not much of a political
prophet" said the wanderer. "I'm
like your statesman who can't talk
for publication about home affairs
after they have returned from

Among The Actors.

Down at Amityville, Long Island
Elizabeth Young of "The Man Who
Owns Broadway" company at the
fremont maintains a small farm.
Some friends think she is farming
scenery because her father is a scenic
artist and has converted the barn on
the grounds into a studio. But there
are several acres around the place
and there remains sufficient room in
the barn for stalling a COW and a
horse, with a place for chickens to
roost.
Some of her prize fowls Miss Young
has named after friends in the thea
trical profession. For instance,
George M. Cohan was foremost among
the Plymouth Rocks. Aud George
was a fine bird. He was the tamest
but most impertinent rooster that
ever trod a barnyard. "He was so
impertinent we had to eat him. It's
awful to eat your friends" said Miss
Young in telling of Georges fate.
Then there is Josephine Cohan, a
sister of George, who is so gentle
that she sits on Miss Young's head
and eats out of her palm. A. W.
Pinero, the playwright is a young
pullet with a distinguished looking
head that has few feathers and is bald
like the playwright.
KNEW WHERE HE WAS.
When 1 was studying in Boston,"
said a musician, "they used to tell
odd old character, who played a from
bone in one of the small theatres
there. One time they were rehears-
ing a new overture. Throughout the
piece Harper was a little behind the
rest of the men. Before they had
started it a second time the leader
reproved Harper for not coming in
more regularly with the other players.
When they ate mpted it again Har-
per came in, as usual, two or three
beats behind time. The leader STOP
ped and, after letting loose a lot of
profanity, demanded to know if the
from onist knew he was playing about
half a dozen notes behiud the others
Harper nodded. "That's all right
said he. Il can catch up with the
others any time l want to."5Phila-

LUCKY ESCAPE.
First Actor-How did your friend
succeed as Caesar last evenin?
Second Actor-Very well, indeed. l
thought for a time that the audience
would assassinate him before Brutus
had chance.
