Of the word snob. term of obscure

there is a distinction between the Eng

distinction due TO the influence of aris-
tocratic as compared with democratic
traditions. An English snob is a man
who falls short Of the perfect aristo-
crat through a taint Of democratic vul-

HUNDREDS FLEE HOMES
Explosion at Dupont Powder Plant at
eibbstown, N. j. Causes Panic In
Nearby Towns.

Four men were killed and twenty
were injured through an explosion IN
the mixing house at the Gibbstown'
N. J.. plant of the Dupont Powder
company.
The detonation shook Gibbstown,
which is sixteen miles below Camden,
was severely felt in the latter city and
only slightly less in South Philadel-
phia and the river side OF Delaware
county.
The list of dead follows: Harry Van
neman, married, OF Paulsboro; Hiram
Feldman, single, Of Gibbstown; ste
phen Damian, of Paulsboro; Michael
Gluffund of Paulsboro.
Frank Pastime, another workman
was so badly injured that he is likely
to die.
So terrific was the explosion, the
cause of which has not been deter
mined. that windows in houses for M
teen miles around Gibbstown were
shattered. dishes shaken from tables
and dressers and pictures from OIL the
walls.
In Philadelphia, in the down town
section, which is built over a strata
of rock that extends across New Jer-
sey. beneath the Delaware river and
thence through Delaware county-the
shock was almost as severely felt. AT
the Philadelphia navy yard the concus-
sion caused the heavy compartment
doors in several OF the battleships TO
close.
The four men killed were literally
blown to pieces. The largest part OF
any of the bodies found was toot'
which was found upon the roof OF the
driving house, a quarter of a mile away
from the scene of the explosion. A
mans hand was found a half mile
away in the middle of the road. Pieces
of bodies were found in trees several
hundred Yards about the plant.
Three of the men killed were inside
the building, which was directly east
of the main Office, where about hIty
Dersons were working. A clerk was
looking out Of the window at the time
of the explosion, and saw Frank Pas
time walking towards the building, and
Hiram Feldman wheeling a barrel OF
oil into the mixing house.
Suddenly he. saw the building rise
into the air with a terrific report ana
saw a cloud of dust. The clerk was
knocked across the room and out OF a
window. He fell unconscious.
The mixing building, which was
about 80 fet wide and 100 feet long,
was barricaded on three sides by earth
and timber. placed there so in case
of an explosion the other buildings
would not catch fire.
When the explosion came the ire
whistle was sounded to warn the other
emploves to leave the buildings This
was unnecessary, as all the employees
ran to the gate when the explosion
came fearing another building might
catch fire or explode.
The greatest excitement prevailed
in Paulsboro and Gibbstown when the
residents heard the explosion. People
ran into the streets and congregated
on the corners. Several horses attach
ed to delivery wagons ran away.
Some one turned in a fire alarm
The pbvsicians of the two towns
Jumped into their carriages or motors
and drove to the scene Of the accident

a brief exchange of civilities. cut
short by the pressure Of guests be-
hind me, she said Hospitality: Go
back into the dining room and get
something to eat You VIII find some
pleasant people there
Il went and ] found the pleasant
people-at least, they looked pleasant
but they were all strangers. a
waiter handed me cup Of tea and
passed sandwich and piece of
cake With these | retired to a corner
a. and drank while I looked
about me for someone as evidently
stranger as myself. There was not
one! All were gathered in cheerful
groups, chatting gaily, and hesitated
to thrust my presence in where it
apparently was not needed l con-
sumed my food, chuckIing the while
to think how I had rushed myself to
get dressed and to the tea, and then
made my way to the door, saying
farewell to my hostess en- route. She
was the only person with whom had
exchanged remark during my stay
in the house.
Here was an example Of hostess
who did not know her business. Il
should be impossible for anyone to un
dergo such ali experience as mine, and
