garded as one of the most dangerous
features of building. Another
rule should be adopted, particular
ly in cities that have not extern
sive means of protection against
fire. The limits within which frame
buildings should be permitted should
be so contracted as to prevent the pres
ence of infiamable matter in the shape
of frame structures in the heart of q
large and populous city. In Quebec
there were a large number of such
buildings in the quarter in which the
fire originated. In Chicago the case
was the same, and in many other
places there are the same opportuni-
ties offered by mismanagement for
similar occurrences. There is no inn
munity from the wrath of the fiery
element and these occurrences teach
us that too great precaution cannot be
taken in this regard. 1t becomes our
own authorities to see to it, in these
days of great disasters, that there
shall be nothing left undone in the
way of precautionary measures for the
protection of both property and life.
This is the fourth warning that we
have had during but few years, and
we should heed it here at home.

A Palace Car for Sale.

1t may be set down as an axiom
that a man who owns fine palace
car and does not own foot of rail-
road, should not quarrel with railroad
companies. A. A. COHEN will doubt
less endorse the correctness of this
theory. He purchased palace car of
gorgeous proportions and extravagant
finish in which he was wont to ride
over the Central and Southern Pacific
roads with all the airs of a shoddy ar
istocrat. But, alas, those princely rides
have finally terminated. The compa-
ny were suddenly awakened to tn e
fact that their confidential agent was
swindling them and robbing those
with whom he was deputized to do
business and the long trusted COHEN
was invited to vacate his position.
With his dismissal from the compa-
ny's employ terminated his road priv
ileges and the magnificent palace car
which cost $50, 900 was suddenly trans
formed into an elephant and it now
stands with wheels half imbedded in
the earth in Mr.. CoHEN's front yard,
a rookery for bats and owls to roost
in. The disgraced agent now con-
templates from his breakfast table the
magnificent ruin and modifying the
remark of WoLsEY to suit his own
case he mentally exclaims. "If l had
served the Central Pacific with half
the zeal that have served Tom SCOTT
my palace car would lot now be the
laughing stock of all who see and un-
derstand. Like most big rascals 1
played my game too bold and with
single torpedo those whom I have
falsely served have blown me beyond
the pale of respectable recognition"
