lAOE FOUR. THE MORNING ASTORIAN, TUKSDAY, MARCH 15, 1901. f'r. NITRO GLYCERINE EXPLOSION - ACTS LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE NORTHERN PACIFIC Oakland, OaU March 14. An explo sion of nltro glycerine In the washing house of the California Giant Powder works on the bay shore at Sobrante shortly aftw noon tenia y killed two men ami crippled" a third. The fact that most of the employes were awoy to lunch accounts for the .small loss of life. A laborer 200 yards away from the explosion had his leg o badly shattered that It was later amputated. The property loss Is about $15,000. The cause of the esrlosion is a mystery. It shook the country for miles around as though an earthquake had occurred.

The selection of the veteran poet Edmund Clarence Stedmon, to write the world's fair hymn, seems to have been a popular choice. When the question was asked who should be in vlted to undertake a work of such mo ment, the name of Mr. Stedman was suggested from many quarters. . The poem has now been completed and set to music by John K. Paine, of iHarvard university. Permission to hear this notable composition ts with held from the public until the opening day of the exposition, but that an un usual treat Is in sto.-e for them is as " sured. ,f , Poems by Mr. Steadman hav been used for musical settings of several of the most distinguished American com posers and he is especially gifted in lyric composition. The song for the world's fair Is considered his best effort.
