EXPLODING MKTAL. Twenty Men Struck Dnirn ami Slauy of Them i: .illy Hurt. A terrible explosion occurred at tbo Otis Steel Works, on the lako shore, recently,' in which three men were badly injured, while a dozen cr fifteen more were bruised and burned. The accident occurred in the I; im-r steel department of the large establishment. A leak inthe Bessemer con- verter allowed a small quantity of molten metal to escape. This caused a slight ex- plosion which served as a warning to the two hundred workmen employed in tiio shop. They ran for their live?, but all had not reached n place of safety when a second and much heavier explosion occurred. Tl terrible report was accompanied by llyiuc debris and molten metaL The mof of th» Bessemer shop was blown i IT, find the slate ami iron composing it were thrown in every direction with ter- rific force. Twenty or more men were struck l>v the flying missiles and all of them were more or less injured. The combustible material of the building was ignited and alarms of fire were turned in. Fire Engines land 5 and Hook and Ladder Truck 1 responded, and the ilaines were (illicitly subdued. A Leader reporter passed through an open gate, and, uninvited, took a stroll throng li the damaged building. The roof had been literally lorn from Its fastenings and strewn about the- yard. The inside of the shop looked a3 though a Kansas cyclone had been out on a holiday. At this point In bis observations the newspaper man was muchly told by an official of the company who had espied him that no one but work- men were allowed inside Hi" gates. A number of workmen were visited by the reporter at their homes. j John MeLane, who is a converter-hand, said: "At the lime of the accident there Were about 13.000 rounds of metal in the. converter, and di- rectly under it was the pit, in which there was some water. A new bottom hud but recently been placed in the convener and the fire-clay, it i.s thought, was not fullydry. In turning over the converter sumo of thn moljrn metal (leaped through a small crev- i \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 nnd cau;ed the first explosion. The va- por and heavy atmosphere made it almost impossible to distinguish anything^ and I In the panic that followed the first I explosion tire converter was turned the wrong way, allowing the major portion of the metal to fall into the, water, causing a .terrific explosion. 1 took warning at the. first explosion and was several hundred feet away when the second occurred, but 1 re- turned to Hit! shop Immediately. 1 heard liroans Issuing from the direction of t lie pit, and upon invest! :ni ing. i"iui<l Unit a man was lyi.'ir,' 'in hit buck near it.

Five hundred persons beat about a pile of furniture on Cottage Grove avenue, near Twenty-ninth street, one ni^ht recently, : says the Chicago Herald. In the midst of the furniture, on a folded bed, lay a weary citizen, peacefully asleep. 1 The crowd stood in silence watching him, but made no sign. Anon a policeman strolled by and saw thn oVuwd, the furniture and the man. Half an hour before nil cxpre>s-wagon had driven by with that furniture and that roan on it. 'Hie man was moving. In addition to Ills furni- ture he was vine a largt", Pale green $1 jag. Whenever the expressman asked this citizen where ho lived. th« citizen had told him it whs a few doors further on. Thus the expressman,' tlie drunken iiiuu and the furniture bad proceeded by easy stages from Wabasb avennedown to Twpnty'-niiiin street. There the rjpnwemsn lns-t his patience and tosspd his load to the sidewalk. The drunkeu citi/en also tos»ed Ins load to the sidewalk. Then he drew- out a quilt ami a pillow ami fell asleep. The crowds kept gathering until the police- man came. A few momenta after hi9«arrival a pitrol-wa,.(in with the furniture, the drunken man and four grinning police ijii- ct-ri rolled off toward the Cottage Grove avenue Station, amid the coarse plaudits of the perspiring throng. JOHN SWETT. A Sketch of One of San Fran- cisco's Earliest Teachers. The following is a sketch of John Swett, o=e of the earliest teachers of the public schools of this city, and the candidate of the Republican party and of the Reform Demo- crats for the office of City Superintendent of Public Schools. When Mr. Swett was notified by Dr. Cleveland that he had been by a unanimous vote selected as the candidate of the Re- form Democrats, he wrote a letter of ac- ceptance, as follows: Dr. C. 1).

San Francisco, Oct. 18, 1890. Mr. Swetr, though now more than SS years of age, still combines the ai<b>r of youth With the strength of middle age. He has the wisdom that couns from thirty-rive years of educational experience, lie knows the schools of the city and of California as probably no other man can know them ; for be has been identified with them, with brief periods of exception, over since; his arrival on tbe Coast, in the "fifties." The school system of the Pacific Coast has grown op from infancy under his observation, and his skillful, plssUo band lias been fell at every step of its progress. A glance at a few facts willconvince any reader that Mr. Swett may be truly called tbe father of the graded school system in San Francisco aud California. Alter nearly ten ye^rsof successful teach- ing and i rganiziog, during which be enjoyed the warm friendship and confidence of Thomas Starr King iiud others hardly Hss eminent as friends of fduca'i n, he was elected state Superintendent of i'nbiic In- struction. Iv tins capacity he visited almost every school district in the State. His high ideals, his enthusiasm, his wise counsels, his copious ami accurate information, as shown in innumerable lectures, essays, ad- dresses newspaper and magazine articles aud personal conferences, made a (Icki> im- pression for good upon almost every ™rt of the commonwealth, On the expiration of his term lie was re-elected for four years. Afterward he was a third time a candidate, and was defeated, although running ahead of his ticket some 2(i00 votes. His work as State Superintendent gave him a national reputation. Probably no California educator stands' higher in the estimation of intelligent and thoughtful men in the istei n States. In any large gather- ing of eminent teachers iv America, he would receive conspicuous honor. He is known as the man who drafted what is substantially th« present California school law, the provisions of which have been adopted in many other States.

After his oflicial terms as State Superin- tendent be was lor three years principal of the Denman Grammar School, lie then be- came Deputy City Superintendent. Itthis position he labored successfully to establish free evening schools, In 187G he began his career as principal of the large high school for girls, one of San Francisco's noblest in- ntitutions. In this school lie originated aud fostered the invaluable Normal Department For thirteen years, till his resignation, be tilled this position of principal with rare fidelity, ability and success. To many hun- dreds of the graduates of this school his name is very dear, for probably no man in Califor- nia has done more to train and inspire thou- sands of young ladies to lives of usefulness and honor. His gin d influenco is still felt in that great school and will not toon die out. It is fortunate for the cause of education that Mr. Swett has put some of his best thoughts into permanent form. His text- books are full of common sense and noted for their concise and attractive style. His "Methods of Teaching" has bad- an extra- ordinary circulation, and is used in nearly every Important normal school in America, England and Australia. His '• School Elo- cution," "Examination Questions," "Nor- mal Word Book," "History of the Public School System in California," etc., are familiar as household words among many of the most disti^nislied teachers.

A Great Event Inone's life is the discovery of .1remedy for , - - some- long-standing malady. Tlie poison of Scrofula is in your blood. You inherited it from your ancestors. Will you transmit it to your offspring? In the great majority of cases, both Consumption and Catarrh orig- inate in Scrofula. It is supposed to be the primary source of many other derangements of the body. Begin at once to cleanse your blood with the standard alterative, Ayer's Sarsaparilla "For several months I was troubled with scrofulous upturns over the whole body. My appetite was bad, and my system so prostrated that I was unable to work. After trying several remedies in vain, I resolved to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and did so with such good effect that less than one bottlo Restored SViy Health and strength. The rapidity of the cure as- tonished me, as I expected the process to bo long and tedious." — Frederico Mariz Fer- nandez, Villa Nova de Gaya, Portugal. '•For many years I was a. sufferer from i scrofula, until about three years ago, when I began the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, since which the disease has entirely disappeared. Alittle child of mine, who was troubled with the same complaint, lias also been cured by tills medicine."— H. Brandt, Avoca, Nebr. Ayer's Sarsaparilia rREPARED BY US. J. C. AYES & CO., Lowell, Mass.

Some new move every day. If it isn't neckwear it's underwear, and if it isn't underwear it's shirts or something else that bobs up with a short price and big customer-drawing power from day to day. No matter when you drop in you'll find a stir in some line, and it's pretty sure to be something you want or that the Low Price will tempt you into buying whether you want it or not. This unfailing succession of low-price "events" is what has turned the furnishing title in our direction, and we shall keep it Dp as long as the goods and the department lasts.
