It would have paralyzed Canada’s great waterway, prostrating her water trade from the Great Lakes One of the eve-witnesses of the ex plosion was Miss Euphemia Constable, & 116-yearold girl who lived with her parents about 300 yards from the lock No. 24, She was going to see a friend across the canal about 6:20 o'clock, and when nearing the bridge, which is by the lock, caught sight of two men. One was walking down by the tool house to the far end of the lock. The other was standing at the end of the bridge, and then stepped over to the swing bridge. He laid down a valise ‘he was carrying and got off the bridge just as the girl passed within five feet of him. He had one hand on the valise and the other covering his face, but a sudden motion on his part revealed hjs features and she obtained a good view of them. He stepped through the side of the bridge and off from the middle, and carried the valise to the end of the lock. Thus, at each end of the lock stood one of the men, and each had a valise, As Miss Constable walked past she heard the man farthest away cry: “Hurry on, Jack, or it will go off!” and he ran down the road leading to the falls.” Turing her head the girl saw that the second man was tyving a rope to the end of his valise. When it was secured he dropped the valise foto the lock, sprang up onto the bridge and ran after the first man on the road to the falls. - o Then came the thunderous roar of the first exploding charge. After the first shock Miss Constable lost consciousnéss and knew nothing of the second explosion. Both of the valises Jowered into the lock contained dynamite. They were fired by fuses and the explosions were not quite simultaneous. They broke the castings on ‘the head gate, fore up the banks on ‘botk sides of the lock, knocked peo-

The three prisoners were taken to Welland fall and guarded by soldiers. while other soldiers patrolled the canal Murray, who had been sent for {rhamediately after the explosion, arrived on the scene and hastened to the jail He communicated at once with Reotland Yard and sent descriptions and photographs of the prisoners to the police of London, England. Nolin and Walsh seemed unmistakably to be from across the sea, and Waish had particularly the manner and speech of a man just over. In search of information regarding the movements of the men on this continent he visited New York and saw friends there, both in and out of the police business. He also made journéys to Philadelphia, Washington, Virginia and other points whither. the trail led. The results of his persistent quest were as follows: . In the year 1894 three young-men set sail for America. They were John Nolin, a young machinist, John Rowan, a mechanic, and John Merna, a mechanie. . They arrived in New York and on May 17, 1894, Merna declared his intention of becoming a citizen of the United States, took out his first papers and gave his residence as No. 41 Peck slip. New York. Nolin went to Philadelphia. - The four Johns, after spending a few days in Philadeiphia, went to New York. They stopped at the lodging house of John M. Kerr, 45 Peck slip, and hung about New York until December, 1899, when Rowan returned to Ireland, and went to work -at his trade in Dublin. Nolin and Walsh applied to the South Brooklyn branch of the Amalgamated Society of Machinists for donation money, which amounts to $3 per week for those out of work, aad the request was complied with by John A. Shearman, secretary of the society, who worked in the Pioneer Muchine works in Brooklvn. In the latter part-of this month Nolin, Walsh and Merna went to Washington, D. C. Nolin remained there a short time and then went on to Rich‘mond, Va., ~here he obtained a job as fitter-in a foundry. S - On Christmas day, 1899, Merna went to work as bartender in a Washington saloon, at 212 Ninth street, of

which Joseph MceEnerney was proprietor, and on January 1 Walsh waa given a similar position in the same s&aloon I'hey rejieved each other al the har and shared a room together over the saloon They worked as har tenders for McEner ney through Jang ary and February and along inlo March, while Nojin stayed on in the Richmond foundry Karly in March Karl Dallman bad registered at the Stafford house, in Buflalo, and had then goue away : : ; On” Monday evening, Marceh 12, Mer oa was found dead in his rooin aver the saloon Somewhere about April 10 1500, Nolin recelved a communication from & lodge to which he belonged, known in secret circles as the Napper Tandy ¢lub. It was & Clannpa-Cael organi zation and the mémbers met at Tom Moore's hall, corner of Third avenue and Sixteenth sireet. in New York Nolin apd Walsh were both afiiiated with this club, having been introducea into {t by a man named Jack Hand a sailor. Nolin's instructions, sent to him in Richmond, were to go fo Washiog: ton, get John Walskh, and go with him to Philadelphia, where, at the Phila delphia & Reading ratiroad station; at 7 p. m. on Saturday, April 14, they would meet a third man who would give them further instructions. Nolin obeyed the summons promptly and hastened to Washington from where, accompanied by Walsh, he went to Philadelphia as instructed. As they stood in the station at the appointed time a well-dressed, stout man came up and accosted them. Their replies being satisfactory the stranger said: “] am the man you want to see.'s and engaged them in earnest conversation. At the conclusion of their talk the stout man handed $lOO to Nolin, with two railroad tickets and sleeping car coupons from Philadelphia to Buffalo, over the Lehigh Valley railroad. He then left them. and Nolin and Walsh took the Lehigh Valley train for Buf falo. They arrived in the latter city at noon on Apfl 15, went direct to the Stafford house and registered as John Smith of New York and Thomas Moore of Washington. They were assigned to room 88, and immediately ordered up drinks. While waiting for the refreshments there was a knock at the door, and Dallman stepped into the apartment. He introduced himself and a satisfactory understanding was reached between the trio. Dallman told them to prepdre for an early start next day, and after breakfast on the following morning, April 16, he gave to Nolin and Walsh two canvas grips, or telescopes. - G . In each of these grips were about 80 pounds of dynamite, mixed to the consistency of stiff dough. Fuses were with each cake, lying on top, but unattached. It was shortly after this that the near-catastrophe occurred. . Karl Daliman, the arch plotter in the conspirasy, turned out to be an even more picluresque character than Murray had suspected before commencing his investigations. For, fol-

detective bhecame aware that the so ealied Dallman of Trenton, New Jer 4~~->'\" was noune other than Luke Hilon of Philadelphia, who had figured prominently in the world-famous Cro nin case Dillon was a member of the executive committee of the Clanua *Gael and defended that organizatior - and publicly champloned it achieving more than national notortety when, io Bis official capacity, he went 1o Chica "k at the thme of the murder of Dr Cronin, - At that time he denounced Ajexander Suillivan, raised funds f{or the prosecution of those accused of Croain’s murder; :&\'\wawd the throw ing off ¢t the aath of secrecy, so fal As NeCesSSAry 1o run down the assas | sing. went on the witness stand, and L by his testimony revealed the secret Fof the Triangle. the chie! three who i had ruled as the executive of the Clan|pa Gael; made poblic the charges i against Sullivan and fought throughiont on the side of the wnti-Sullivan i wing The identification was made absolute and final. Men who knew { Luke Dillon, who had worked day by | day near him, visited Karl Daliman {and identified him positively as the g‘mrmer high officiai of the Clan-na-i Gael, : , i ‘Hut above all Murray's careful, un. i erring tracing of the chief suspects iicarwr convinced the Canadian govi ernment that Dallman and Dillon were ‘one. Originally Diilon was a shoemaf»ker. In 1881 he was working at bis { trade at 639 Paul street, Philadelphia. { The members of the dynamite trio { were brought up for trial on May 26, {l9OO, With the mass of damning evi- | dence accumulated by Murray's pa- ! tient efforts and submitted to the { court, there could be but one result. g.-\a the clock struck six on the even i ing of May 26, the jury retired to con;‘slder the verdict. Four minutes later { they re-entered court and the three | prisoners were declared gufity. The dynamiters were sentenced to impris onment for life and taken to Kingston 'peni(entiary. < For two years after the trio entered upon their prison life the general public knew nothing of the identity of Karl Dallman. Then a Buffalo paper made known the fact, telling of his connection with the Cronin affair. The story was denied by some of Dillon's friends, who asserted that he bad been kille¢ during the South Africen .war While fighting with the Boer army against the British. But the real, grim truth js that the one? famons leader of the Clan-na-Gael is burind alive within the walls of Kingston pepitentiary. [lle is no longer either Kir] Dallman or Luke Dillon, for the (n--mates of ttat gloomy edifice uare krown by numbers, not names. Kings may die and empires pass away, hat naught of the stir and bustle of fie outside world enters into the colorlesc | silent existence of the men who made up the dynamite trio. For them all the plots and passions of restless human--ity have ceased to be—are merged into the gray horror of a living death | (Copyright, 138, by W. G. Chapman) i (Cooyright in Great Britain)

And suggestion need | not be made the basis of a cult to be a means of faith cure. ‘ ’ - Dr. Yorke Davies ¢f London, one of the few eminen! physicians who baw-! made a speciaity of dietetics, said. after 30 years' practice: “The devia ‘ tions from health are more m:"rﬂ(*xiyi remedied by dietetic means than by wedicines, Diet may be g ;)ermanen'!‘ cure, drugs are but palliatives, | o Diet fu the hands of an expert {8 more ] powerful than drugs.

Osteopathy, suggestion, massage, water cure, applied with ordinary judgment, can do no harm. except as they may exclude other necessary treatment, as drug ‘of surgical treatment may also fail to -inch;de other beneficial treatment. . | Since the days of the prophet who prescribed washing In-° Jordan, there have been many cures, each more mysterious, if possible, than the other, but nature has continued to use the same means of restoring health, in spite of .the cures or by their aid. A young man who has been reading these articles writes me about his interesting case, which will servé to {llustrate the difficulty and the’importance of distinguishing health from disease. At the age of 20 he quit the farm, late in the spring, and went to work as a street car conductor in a large city. He was in excellent health, with a good appetite. A few months later he began to have dull headache and an almost constant sour stomach, with belching. Everybody knows that an alkali will neutralize an acid and a friend advised him to take a little common baking soda in hot water occasionally. Perhaps some physicians would have “cured” this case in the same way. The average person who goes to a physician does not go for his valuable advice on the prevention of sick‘ness, or even for a radical cure of his ailment. What he wants is a quick cure, in the easiest way possible; hence the temptation to treat symptoms is strong. . e The acid condition of the stomach ‘was, of course, neutralized by the al‘corrected by an alkall as carbonate of

soda, or does nature know wha! she is About in producing the acid condi Ancther gentiemen who has been rending these articies writes me abou?!

He shonld walk five miles dally. The Young maL read an advertisement of a well-known tonfe, which he began using, boping it would do as much for him as the soda had done. While he | was taking the tonic he felt better and gained in welght, but when he stopped using it he soon was worse than be fore—of course. What shall he do? First, let him understand the cause of his trouble (as far as that is possible), then apply the remedies and look for a return of health with the same confidence that he expects his car to move when the brake is raised and the current turned on. An electric car runs with no greater regularity than the human machine® when properly cared for, but the body is a 8 very delicate organism and {t must not be abused. . The relation between the mind and the body Is just as intimate, just as important, ds the relation between the current and the car. You have seen a car off the track. No use to turn on the current then. To expect the mind to set right all abnormal conditions in the body without complying with the laws of its physical organization, is manifestly übsurd. e A farmer needs at least twice as much muscular-energy-giving food asa street car conductor, varying with the physical work or exercise of each, but this young man continued to eat about the same amount and kinds of food that he had eaten in the country. Now the system manufactures gastric juice to digest as much fooa as the system requires, not always enough for the food eaten.

At dusk the captains of the passenger steamers in passing generally sound their whistle or siren for the amusement of their passengers, and it is a sight not easily forgotten to watch myriads of sleepy birds fly a short distance and then return, after uttering their protest after the -manner of the owl in “Gray'as Elegy.” The new foghorn will give three blasts every two minutes. =~ . o

Three Children the Limit

It is now recognized in this day of universal 'education that it is better to raise three childrén so their minds

shall be reasonably equipped for the battle of life and their bodies strong s 0 as to withstand the hardships of adversity than to bring five children te the age of maturity, in a condition which foretells their filling the ranks of the lower strata of soclety. With frequent and protracted wars a thing of the past, with the guesfions of national defense less pressing than ever before, with the conquering of plagues which in other centuries claimed their thousands yearly, the common welfars does not demand families with eight or ten children, particularly if the par ents are poor.—Brookiyn Sisadard
