BUILDING CROWDED WITH WORSHIPERS Outrage Not Regarded a Directed Against Papacy, But as Chal lenge to Society and the Church. ' A Rome, Nov. 18 dispatch says: A bomb was exploded in St. Peter's to day. The edifice was crowded, and .mindertcrtbable scene of confusion fol lowed. There were no fatalities. A3 soon as ihe echoes of the tremendous roar had ceased, a canon sought by reassuring word! to quiet the people, but in vain. They fled in nil directions and a number of women fainted. The church is eo large, however, that there was n mole room for the crowd to scat ter and no one was injured. No trace of the perpetrator of the deed has been found. Since Saint Anacletus, who was or dained by Peter himself, erected an oratory in 90 A. D. on the sight of the present basilica to mark the spot where the remains of Saint Peter were buried, no such dastardly occurrence is noted in the annals of the church. Today was the aui.iversary of the dedication of the basilica to St. Peter and it was beautifully decorated for the occasion. Holy relics were ex posed and a large number of the faith ful attended the services. The last mass had just been concluded when the explosion occurred, and only om; canon, who had not quite finished re mained at the altar of St. Peteromelia. It was near here where the bomb was placed. As the canon turned to bless the communicants there was a tremen dous roar which echoed through the lofty arches of the immense dome like a thunder clap. At the same time a dense smoke spread throughout this portion of the basilica and a strong odor of gunpowder filled the air. Confusion and panic at once seized the people. The canon at the altar tried to stem the tide of fear. He shouted out: "Do not be afraid; it is nothing, merely the noon-day gun." As soon as the smoke cleared away a hasty examination showed that no body had been hurt in the crush, and furthermore thnt no one had been wounded by the explosion. Calm was gradually restored, and people re turned to view the extent of the dam age. It was discovered that the bomb had been placed under a scaffolding erected to facilitate repairs to the roof ex actly over the celebrated tomb of Clement XIII, by Canova, which con sists of a figure of the pope and twe lions and which is the most remark able piece of sculpture in the basilica. An examination of the remains of the bomb leads to the supposition that it was crudely prepared on purpose to mislead that it was manufactured in the country. It is believed That the bomb had a veiy long fuse in order to enable the criminal to gain tlu piazza before the explosion. It has been im possible to trace him, and no one has any recollection of seeing a man, who by his movements, might have aroused suspicion. When the pope was notified of the disturbance he was greatly shocked, and It was some time before he re gained his composure. Subpoenas for Oil Men.

Within a short time a unique example of the cooperative apartment house, o like any heretofore erected in this-city,, will be ready for occupancy. This is- .the, luxurious "pri vate hotel" at 11, IS and 15 East Forty-fifth street, which has been erected by a corporation known as the Home Club. Only six families will occupy the immense structure, those of Wilbur C. Fisk and Pliny Fisk, the principal stockholders in ihe club, and four others whose names have not beeo revealed. " As the first cooperative apartment house con taining all the features of a high-class hotel ever built in this city, the structure has attracted much attention irom those wealthy New Yorkers who would eliminate housekeeping care3 but dislike hotel or the usual apartment hou.ie life. The structure is the natural evolution of the numerous large- studio buildings that have been planned recently, and embodies all additional improvements that could be devised by men oF unlimited means. Each of the tenants will have an available floor space erjual to that in a five-story residence. Their meate will be. served from a kitchen in the basement, to either a general or private 'dining-room, as they, prefer, and every convenience of a modern hotel will be at their disposal. The studio buildings are apartment houses pure and simple, and, although usually cooperative, each family, to quote the law defining multiple dwellings, "does it:3 cooking on the premises," or, in other words, in individual kitchens. HIGH F'EDERAL PLACE FOR WOMAN LAWYER. Mrs. Mary Grace Quackenbos, one of New York's best woman lawyers, has been appointed special assistant United States district attorney by Henry L.

Her energy and thoroughness in investi gating peonage cases in the lumber and turpentine camps of the south as representative of the "Peo ple's Law Firm" brought to her the recognition of the United States district attorney. The first case which Mrs. Quackenbos will prosecute will be that of Signmcd S. Schwartz, proprietor of a New York employment bureau, charged with having induced men to accept posi tions in the peonage districts under many glow ing promises.

REAL FARM IN HEARTOF CITY. Between Kinety-fourth and ; Ninety-nTtl streets, on West End avenue, is one ol the most valuable farms in the world. To be sure it con-v tains only one acre, but that acre is worth more- the carpet manufacturer, who has resisted all: offers for its purchase. 4 This wee farm is leased for anominal sttm to Henry West,' a steady, hard-working man, ; who-lives-in a little rustic cottage perched on the side: of a miniature hill. Behind it rises atall apart' ment house, which late in the afternoon throws its shadow over the farm. Mr. West, who has. been cultivating this plot of ground for 2& years, said: "Although my little place contains only aa acre, it keeps me busy all summer. I lave n& one to help me; I do- the work alone, and manage, to make every inch of the ground productive, i raise green corn, string beans and potatoes, all of which I -sell to people Br ing in the vicinity, except that which 1 keep for my own use. Everybody suems to think that the stuff I raise is 100 per cent, better than, that which they purchase in the markets. Indeed, ..it is such, a novelty to. see crppr grow-, ing among the city's tall buildings that people come long distances to Inspect my little farm. There is one man who comes here every day, when the sweet corn gets large enough, to obtain his supply.' Ten minutes after the corn s pickod he has it cooking in a pot on his kitchen stove. Fresh vegetables are. his hobby. i..i4 'IK- IMMIGRANT WHO ACCUMULATED A FORTUNE. Over at 253 Graham avenue, Brooklyn, an aged father and mother, two sisters and a brother are bewailing the death of Jakey Kaplan, as he was familiarly known to pretty nearly all in the Brownsville section. About five years ago he left the province of Courland in Russia, taking passage to America with no other asset than a little red bundle and an abundance of energy and ambition. He did not know a word of English when he landed at Ellis island. The Hebrew Aid society released him and gave him a small sum of money. With that he bought a basket and a small stock of shoestrings, collar buttons and other notions and thus equipped he started a successful business career. Within a year he had saved enough to bring his old father and mother, two sisters and brother to this country. When they came he rented a house at 253 Graham avenue, Brooklyn, and it took every cent he had left to meet the s ', ' ' ';' first month's rent. After that all the members of the family worked at somev thing and in a few months the shop into which he had turn' a-part-of-the house was the storehouse for a considerable stock of dry goods and notions from which his pushcart and his brother's were supplied. Business prospered and a friend of the family told a reporter that tlw family owned $10,000 in real estate and other assets. AH this Jakey liadi, done by the time he was 21, but the hard work told on his strength, an$( typhoid pneumonia took a fatal hold on him, ending in his death. The funera was held from the little dwelling and both before and after the hour there was a steady stream of friends of acquaintances, young and old, who Went to; pay their last tribute to his memory. ' POLICE ARE SLAVES OF A BABY. , r The officials of the Children's society breatbevt. a sigh of relief when they got rid of a. twb-year-oldY-baby boy who was on their hands for two weelaj recently. There have been hundreds of two-year-olds in the society rooins since -the organiaatiaa was founded, but none ever compared with the; little unknown who made things so lively that!, there wasn't an hour's peace while he. stayed far 5 the place. On the night of October 4 little Samson, aa. he was quickly called, was found in Corlears Hookt park, where he had been abandoned. He waav turned over to a cop, who took him to the Delan cey street police station. Thence he was shipped to the Children's society. He was a- pretty little youngster, with light hair, .big blue eyes aodr Jaf complexion, and he was fairly well dressed. : Although unable to talk, he made it known that he wanted a drink of water and a couple of cops on reserve made a rush to wait on him. When the tot drank bi fill iie 1st the dipper fly and caught Policeman Sullivan over the eye. He laughed in glee when he saw the cop rubbing his sore spot and straightway bawled for all he was worth until the dipper was handed back to him. A second tupe he let it rip and it crashed through a window of the back room. Seeing that he had done some destruction, he appeared to be happy tor awhile, but once his eyes rested upon the checkers and dominoes on the table he slid off the bench and toddled over. The big cops didn't like the interrap-, tKm of the game, but there was nothing to do. but quit then and there. San son gathered all the checkers and dominoes together and then let loose a' fusillade. Laughing and chuckling, he threw every one at the cops, he dodged and fled from the room. - - - Left alone, Samson toddled across the room and kicked over every cus pidor, overturned benches ..and chairs and with a mighty effort tipped til heavy table. The sergeant, hearing the racket, rushed in - and just naSeel Samson in the act of hurling a brush through a pane of glass. The cope wer accused of cowardice for not standing their ground and the doorman wa threatened with charges. Two bluecoats were detailed to watch the toxos ster, while the atkavs were set to work straightening out the disordered nxnrv
