s 1 7- Tribute to the Phonograph Even John Philip Sousa, the great bandmaster, who has no use for Phonographs, has been forced to recognize the Phonograph as a for midable competitor. The two-step king says that people will no longer go to concerts if they can have music in their own homes so easily and so cheaply as they can with the Phonograph. This is an unwilling tribute, but it is nevertheless a tribute. The man who has a Phonograph has a concert in his own house. Even a king could not have more. At our store you can hear them any time.

GEORGIAOIDISASTEIIB TWO BAGS OF POWDER EXPLODE IN ONE OF SHIP'S TURRETS. Eight-Inch Charge Ignited and Entire Turret Crew, Consisting of Three Officers and Eighteen Men, Envei- ..oped In Fire, Receive Terrible Burns. Boston, July 16. With eight of her ofllcers and crew dead and thirteen others either dying or suffering trom terrible burns received In an explo sion of powder in the after super-lm-rosed turret, the battleship Georgia steamed slowly up Boston harbor from the target practice grounds In Capo Cod bay and landed the dead and in jured men at the Charlestown navy yard. With the arrival of the Georgia there became known the details of tho most terrible naval catastrophe that has ever taken place along the coast of New England. In some manner, as yet unexplained, two 100-pound hags of powder becamo ignited and in tho terrible flash that followed tho entire turret crew, con sisting of three ofllcers and eighteen men, were enveloped In fire and re ceived horrible burns, one officer und five men dying before the ship reached ; port. Men Screamed in Agony. Blinded by tho smoke and flames, choked by the acrid, penetrating gaseous lumes and maddened with pain, the men screamed In agony. Some staggered blindly up tho ladder to the hatchway in the top of the tur ret, while others crept along the tur ct floor, begging plteously for assist ance. Lieutenant Goodrich and Seaman Maleck became crazed, staggered up tho iron ladder to the top of the turret nnd then threw themselves headlong into the sea, In a despairing effort to choose a death by drowning In prefer ence to death by slow fire. . When tho smoke of the burning powder had clearing away the ship mates of the unfortunate men rushed to their assistance and tenderly tho suffering sailors wero taken out of tho flre-blackoned turret nnd quickly con vy.jul to tho ship's hospital, where their burns were dressed by tho sur geons, j In tho meantime Lieutenant Good rich and Seaman Maleck had been res cued by a launch that was returning j from an Inspection of the target. !

The accldont happened while tho battleship was several miles off Prov Incotown and tho men wore engaged In target practico, together with other vessels of tho battleship squadron of tho Atlantic fleet. Tho powder had just been taken from tho ammunition hoist, to load an eight-Inch gun. It was seen to bo burning, and In an In stant It exploded In tho very face or tho loader of tho gun. No damago was don,o to tho vessel, as tho powder was not confined, and under orders from Washington tho Georgia sailed back for tho target grounds off Prov-incetown. How the powder heenme ignited is not yet known, hut tho theory held at the navy yard Is that It was set off by a spark from tho smokestack of the warship. Immediately after tho ac cident the Georgia headed for the Charlestown navy yard. There tho dead and wounded" were removed and the Injured conveyed to tho naval hos pital at Chelsea. Tho Georgia Is ono of the battle ships of the second division of the At lantic fleet, which has been at target practico oft Provlncetown far the last three weeks.
