SUNDAY'S EXPLOSION
Large Crowds View the Wreck.
Some Reckless Chance Takers.
Funeral of Mr. Wilson.
The scone of the fatal boiler explosion
on Sunday morning at Van Bergen &
C03 foundry, near Dundaff street, con
tinued to bo a mecca for many curious
pilgrims yesterday. There wore not as
large crowds pressing around the heaps
of bricks and wreckage as there were
on Sunday, but that wus only 'because
most of the city's laborers had to work
yesterday. There were many ladles
who came to the spot to have nolnted
out to them tho place where Wilson Is
supposed to have been standing when
the disaster occurred, and then walked
up tho canal bed, 200 feet away, where
his burned and scalded body struck.
There Is a spot about a foot sauarp
broken from the bank here, and these
onlookers gazed with fascinated eyes
and with shudders at the Indentation
In the black loam.
The (Jebris that lay scattered over a
wide area on Sunday morning was be
ing accumulated slowly Into heaps all
day by a force of laborers yesterday,
nnd tho tedious work will occupy all of
the week. Tho wall that adjoined the
engine room, or what Is left standing
of It, Is In a very unstable condition
and Is extremely liable to come down
at any moment. This part of tho wreck
should be shunned by the people who
come to look at tho scene, but with
careless disregard for their own safety
and the nervous apprehensions of
others they press heedlessly on, run
ning chances that most of them would
condemn in others. They are warned
buck by watchmen and others, but
with a shrug of the shoulders they pass
these human obstacles, who tamely let
them go on. This rear wall will have
to come down, any way, and the com
pany should demolish it at onco and
avoid all chances of a possible damage
suit from a passerby hit by a 'brick or
crippled or worse.
Workmen were busy all day yester
day digging a ditch from the electric
pWnt to the machine shop of the
foundry and erecting a wooden conduit.
The company will Install an electric
motor in the foundry today and expect
to resume casting tomorrow.
Opinions and theories still continue to
be put forth by every man who visits
the ruins. It makes no difference
whether the talker has ever seen a
boiler before or not. He expounds his
ideas to a little knot of onlookers and
Is sincere in his belief that he knows
Just how it happened. Among the en
gineers and other technical men the
impression prevails very strongly that
the boiler had been allowed to become
dry and that Wilson discovered this
and let the water run in. Some men
virtually took their life in their hands
on Sunday and yesterday by clamber
ing over the piles of wreckage and
going over to the upturned boiler and
peering in. The boiler still rests on
one corner, with the furnace end down
and the arch Is loosely held by a por
tion of wall. The slightest disturb
ance would not only probably bring
hundreds of pounds of brick down on
these adventurous men, but It might
result in the boiler falling over and
crushing them. It was a perilous
undertaking and the police should be
used to restrain such foolhardy ex
ploits, if common souse will not suf
fice. Camera fiends were In evidence all
day and on a little culm bank thirty
feet away tripods were set up with
out number and rubber bulbs squeezed
to take an exposure of the greatest ex
plosion that has ever been witnessed In
Carbondalo.
Coroner Itobcrts has picked a body
of representative citizens to serve on
his jury, but in the interests ,of tho
people he will not make public the
names as yet. The jury were at the
scene of tho wreck yesterday morning
and surveyed the ruins.
Tho brass shop and core shops im
mediately adjoining the wrecked boiler
room were badly stirred up, the walls
being blown, down and hundreds of
bricks ruining in the apertures. Had
the accident happened on a weekday
It would have been a mlrncle If a largo
number of men had not been hurt. Be
sides this, a large number of persons
pass the foundry as a short cut over
the bridge leads from Main to Dundaff
.streets and It is made quite a thor
oughfare. Tho man who was seen talking to
Wilson Just before tho explosion Is be
lieved to be a mun named Padden, A

Tribune reporter hunted Industriously
for him yesterday, but his whereabouts
could not bo ascertained, He got out
safely, and some say that they mot
him running breathlessly along South
Main street about ten minutes nfter
tho explosion, with a hunted look on
his face.
As Is usual after such accidents, a
largo number of men have come for
ward with tales of being In the Im
mediate vicinity or of having seen tho
eatustroplie. A reference to the fact
that they would prove valuable wit
nesses to tho coroner usually has tho
curious result of lessening their desire
to pose In the public eye.
The funeral of David Wilson, the sole
victim of the terrible explosion, will ho
held today at his late residence, Eighth
avenue and Mill street, at 3 p. m. The
Itev. Charles Lee, of tho First Presby
terian church, will officiate. Carbon
dale lodge, No. 219, Free and Accepted
Masons, will have charge of the funeral
services and will bury him In accord
ance with their beautiful and solemn
rites. Tho Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, of which Mr. Wilson was
also a member, will have a large dele
gation present. The body will be In
terred In Maplewood cemetery. The
community wears a hushed, awed air
as they discuss the tragedy and talk of
Its victim, for Mr. Wilson was n sturdy,
honored citizen and a man whom his
fellow-townsmen without exception re
spected and admired for his many
characteristics.
May Be Paid Oftener.
Superintendent Hose, of the coal de
partment of tho Delaware and Hud
son company, said yesterday that a3
yet nothing had been decided as to
whether the company would pay every
two weeks. The company is waiting
to see If tho other companies are will
ing to agree upon semi-monthly pay
days. The Delaware and Hudson are
willing to do as the majority decide,
but does not care to take the initia
tive. The other grievances the miners
complained of before going on strike
are being carefully considered, nnd
It Is probable that they will be ad
justed one at a time. The miners aie
at present working nine hours a day,
and are doing bettor than for a long
time. The merchants of this city are
laying in large supplies of merchan
dise In tho prospect that some of this
good fortune will come their way this
winter.

SHOOTING STABS HARMLESS.
They Burn Out Before Reaching the
Earth's Surface.
rrnm tlic Xcw Yoik Sun.
The interval between great meteoric
showers is thirty-three years. Hut the
nature of the shooting stars is such
that they are peculiarly liable to per
turbations, so called, caused by the
attraction of the planets. Within the
last 1,800 years, Indeed, they have
swung out of one orbit and Into another
by the influence of the planet Uranus,
During the last period of thirty-three
years, it seems, they have been espec
ially liable to perturbation.
It Is necessary to understand the
Leonids as a stream of small particles,
no larger than gralnst of sand tho
debris, perhaps, of a comet flowing
contlnuuously In a mighty orbit, which
annually, in the middle of November,
Intersects the orbit of the earth.
Throught most of the length of this
belt the particles ure only sparsely
scattered, but In one place they are
congregated In a vast swarm, with
relation to which tho others may bo
regarded only as stragglers. The
Leonids complete their orbit In thirty
three years' time, and onco in thirty
three years, therefore, when we enter
tho part of the great swarm, we may
look for such a display as that of 1833
or 18(50. In other years we see merely
tho stragglers. In time, of course,
tho particles will bo scattered moro
evenly through their orbit, since the
outer ones take more time to complete
the circuit than the Inner ones, and
tend constantly to fall behind In the
race. But this Is a mutter of millions
of years, like so many other operations
In ustronomy.
In passing through the orbit of tho
Leonids wo see only tho particles
which aro ignited by entering tho
earth's atmosphere, somo 100 or 200
miles distant. No Leonids wero over
known to reach tho earth, tho terrific
heat to which they aro subjected hum
lug them out before they have ap
proached neurer than fifty or sixty
miles. They aro to bo distinguished
entirely from tho sporadlu meteorites
which from time to time uppear as
fireballs lu the sky, and sometlmes-fall
to the earth before they are burnt out
in masses welglng thousands of pounds.
A shower of such us these would bo
disastrous, while the Leonids are quite
harmless.

Jhe Jophomore
Jlln sophomore lay on tlio win
J dow scat smoking his pipe. The
foot ball team had Just broken
training and tho bliss of undisturbed
smoking had not worn off. He did not
sny much, but anyone could see that
ho took a quiet satisfaction In being
tho only sophomoro named for the All
Amerlcnn event.
Tho sophomore never did say imuch,
anyway. His recitations wore models
of brevity. Tho two occasions on
which lie spoke to girls aro college
history. But tho30 are stories In
themselves.
It had snowed nil night, and the
crossings wero banked kneo high. Tho
snow hnd turned to sleet; now the
elect was changing to rain. Now the
gutters wero mill races, merrily whirl
ing little rafts of slush tto their de
struction nt the corner.
It Is not In the least ai original
thought, yet I often marvel on what
threads a man's destiny hangs.
What impulse turned his eyes out
of tho window at exactly tho same
instant a trim figure stopped on tho
curb? The sophomore's backbono
straightened with a jerk.
In one second he hnd noticed tho
green tallor-mndo gown, tho puff of
brown hnlr covering her ears; he had
noticed thnt she had neither rubbers
nor umbrella nnd had seen the help
less little glance she gave at the knee
deep snow.
The next he was half way down the
stairs. He hustled Into his coat and
overshoes and Jammed on his room
mate's best hat. The landlady's
mackintosh and rubbers hung in
front of the radiator warming.
A sudden idea stopped him short;
he stuffed the rubbers Into his pocket
and the mackintosh under his arm.
He had reached the sidewalk before
he realized what he was doing.
flin trlrl lnnknrl sllrnrl.qprl n.r his sud
den appearance, but did not move. He
wnlked straight to her.
"I beg your pardon," he began. "
am going to get my sister; these are
her things." He fished up the rubbers
and coat. "I am going your way, and
if you'd like to wear them they'll keep
you dry."
She looked appeallngly across the
street and then at him. Someone had
once told him that ho looked honest.
It flashed Into his mind now, and
ho wondered what she thought.
That was the girl that his room
mate was always talking about.
"Kate Carlyle!"
There was a pause. He looked at
her keenly, and she blushed. "I am
going to lunch with my sister, but-"
Then he went on: "Perhaps you
know her. She's er Kate Carlyle."
The sophomore shuddered,
"Oh, I'm so relieved; I might have
known he was all right."
She clapped her hands gayly and
looked at him again. "You are Kate's
brother!"
The sophomore grunted indistinctly.
She slipped into the things and ram
bled on easily. "Why, Kate has been
wanting me to meet you for ages!
Won't it be fun telling her?"
She stamped her foot to make sure
the last rubber was on and came un
der his umbrella.
At one downpour heavier than the
rest ho felt a hand resting lightly on
his arm. He heard disjointed sen
tences as if dreaming cars blocked
no carriage foolhardy creature tried
to walk home everlasting benefactor
but did not heed them.
"It's worth the risk," ho muttered
to himself. They walked slowly under
the dripping trees and climbed the
stpps. She was thanking him and
smiling and looked at him all at once.
He was dizzily happy. "I am so sorry
that the family is all away. I wanted
you to meet them."
his breath camp quicker: he was play
ing for big stakes "I'd much rather
stay here." The blush deepened, she
tapped her fingers together as if she
were annoyed. "I know perfectly well
that Is unheard of, and please don't
think that I'm always so infernal
rude."
He had the sort of voice that women
like, strong, deep, with tender places
In It. She touched the bell. He stood
behind her without moving, and the
corners of her mouth glow tense. A
man opened the door, and shy stepped
in, pulling at her gloves. She turned
quickly, saw his disappointment and
laughed. "Aren't you coming in to get
your sister's clothes?" Then, after a
violent tug, "Martin, Mr. Carlyle and
I will lunch at once."
The sophomore pushed back his plate
and folded one hand over the knuckles
of the other. "I am a scoundrel" ho
began Irrelevantly. Ho took a swal
low of water and shook tho tumbler
absently. "There are times when
hitherto honorable men will do despi
cublo things and not experience the
least regret. Their training und all
their ideals may be revolted, but under
the same circumstances they would do
precisely the same thing again."
lie paused, but she evidently did not
wish to speak. "The greatest compli
ment a woman can pay a man Is to
trust him. If he has a spark of man
liness it should bring It out und yet
nnd yet jump nt the chance to do
the same thing to-morrow. Therefore,
I nm a brute."
"The strongest power is strongest;
wo must find It at last; everything
weaker nuu't give way to it, I have
lied to you. " He said the word slowly,
ns If It cut him. "I shall remember
this day as long an I live. I am un
orphan and have disgraced no one but
myself." Ho finished In a steady voice.
She leaned forward and held out her
hand. "I respect you for what you
have Just said," she said, simply. "I
have trusted you, and I do yet. But
if thero Is any blumo, I will bear half."
Ho was soberly balancing two spoons
on his finger nnd did not see the de
mure twinkle in her eyes or the hnlf
timid, smile that played on her lips.
"I roomed with Kato Carlyle three
years at Smith and she never had a

Annexation Will Probably

Washington, Nov. 19. Tho deereaso
of tho Hawaiian race has been steadily
growing less rapid for the past several
decades, especially the female popula
tion, according to the annual report of
ex-President Sanford B. Dole, gover
nor of Hawaii. The increase of part
Hawallans tends to keep down the
number of pure Hawallans. While the
figures show race progress, the census
reports as to surviving children aro
discouraging. In both the censuses of
1890 and 1S90 the pure- Hawaiian per
centage of survivors was the lowest of
all nationalities represented in the
Islands. An encouraging outlook for
the Hawallans exists In the fact that
out of 6,327 owners of renl estato In
189C, 3.99S wero pure Hawallans and 722
part Hawallans, The facts aro signifi
cant as showing the ownership of hold
ings by so largo a number of pure
Hawallans, and the evident tendency of
tho ruce to acquire homesteads. Tho
ox-president reports that there Is rea
son to expect that annexation is going
to influence Hawaiian character very
favorably through the changed condi
tions effected. Their old dependence on
their chiefs has ceased and they are
forced to rely more on their own ef
forts. Tho political privileges they en

PRANCE TO TEACH COOKING.
Not satisfied with her reputation for
good cooking, Paris is founding a new
culinary league, which shall dlssoiui
nuto Mi a knowledge of tho saucepan
far and wide, says a Lqndon news
paper. Put already she has a famous
society of the Cordon Mien, or niuo
Itlbbon of tho Kitchen. It is tills which
Great Iirltaln might Imitate.
For tho Cordon Illeu Is a teaching
university, conducted by postmasters
of tho art, It is managed by a com
mittee of great chefs, all of whom have
borno the heat and burden of the day
In many a savory kitchen. They have
their headquarters In that famous ren
dezvous of gourmets, the Palais Itoyal,
and here they wield the most skilled
basting spoons In France, The Cordon
Kleu Iioh been established fur live
years, and during that time has turned
out many oflcpiit ranks, Its aim Is lo
teach the art' of cooking well and econ
omically, for Fiench house wives prefer
it eulslnleie who does not waste ma
terial. It frequently has Kugllsli and
sometimes American pupils. For L'l a
month a pupil may attend every day,
learn to cook her own dejeuner, und
havo it set veil up as soon as It Is
ready, Her early martyrdom Is a hap
py augury for man led happiness, Oua
of fhe professors of the school is deco
rated with the Legion of Honor, and
all ure ut tlm head of their profession,
Recently the Cordon Hleu has estab
lished a circuit system for ihe prov
nces. F,aeh chef lu turn takes his tour,
and tho French government, which
knows the value to the nation of good
cooking, makes a grant In aid of
these provlnclul lectures and demonstration.
