The explosion occurred without the least warning and for a few minutes threw the entire school intd an uproar. The building seemed to shake from the concussion and some pupils who were practicing music on the second floor felt a distinct jar. A hasty examination was made and the fire room was found to be littered, wood being scattered about and the place full of dust. A window in the front of the room, situated about 15 feet from the furnace, was shattered by the force of the explosion. When the trouble was learned school was resumed in the building.

And that purpose, large and deep and high, Is surely identical on whichever side of the ocean the work field lies. Naturrlly we want by all means to make certain that our church system and our church rules and canons and our church services are loyal and orthodox, are coherent and straightforward, are reverent and helpful to those for whose good they are devised, and that our manner of worship is of the sort to evoke the very best that men can offer. But at tlds Juncture, as it seems to me. the paramount of all is that which concerns the fai.,.ly and the home—the common workday life, that is, of the Christian people at large. It Is as their officers or ministers or representatives that any and every council or convention meets. We are showing the latest novelties in Dress Goods and Dress Skirts for Fall and Winter wear.

GROCERIES The only Main street speakeasy, or alleged speakeasy, that has been found in the city since the beginning of the term of Mayor Langan was raided this morning by Chief of Police Ixvftus and the alleged keeper is lodged in the Water street jail and will be given a hearing this evening. The alleged speakeasy was located on North Main street, in the vicinity of the Ravine shaft, and was conducted in a basement, by a foreigner. The place has been under suspicion for some time past and once before the fellow, who has an almost unpronounceable name, was taken in tow by the police and hauled to jail, but protested that'his wife conducted the place. During the past few days children were sent to the speakeasy and, it is sahl, were sold beer on more than one occasion. The raid was ordered Ahis morning and when the chief entered the place he found his man there, also beer on tap. It is said that several witnesses will be on hand to testify against the man when he is brought before the mayor this evening.S r7j\J =f The manufacturers presented a formal signed statement setting forth their oft repeated arguments why it was impossible for them to operate under the present market conditions and pay the wages formerly in effect.

Wholesale and Retail At Cut Prices Religion In the Home Confessions of a Priest ITere—is It not ho?—are the conditions with which we have to do. We can thank God for strong material progress, for an often high note of moral earnestness and, here In America at least, for an eager output of Intellectual force. And we are prone to be pleased and even satisfied. Cut It would be vain to ignore the warning voices which tell us, on either side of the sea, certain decadence in the definitely religious life of the ordinary home—ft falling ort, that Is, In the very force which gave its distinctive inspiration and Its distinctive power to so much of our grandslres' life. If that be true— and In spite of all explanatory qualifications nobody will, I think, say it is wholly false—It surely behooves every gathering of churchmen to consider well what they -can do to safeguard the men and women and, above all, the children of America and of England from a peril whoso gravity It is impossible to overestimate, because it affects the very foundation of our Christian life. I amnot presumptuous enough to try to judge of the degree to which this danger Is at present yours. You can tell, as I of course cannot, whether adequate provision is somehow bring mode in the America of today for securing that the children of your people shall nowhere growup ignorant of the fullness and tha significance of their Christian heritage People speak sometimes of the and links" which unite our church in England with yours in the United States. But are the words appropriate'.' We are learning, I hope, to regard the relationship in all essential things as one of identity rather than as filial or fraternal. Our spiritual ancestry down to very recent days Is absolutely one. Our power of mutual society, help and comfort has been proved and proved again.

Neither party to the controversy would concede a single point, and at the conclusion of the conference the strike appeared to be no nearer a settlement than when it was declared nearly twelve weeks ago.
