DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
FOx's Theatre in Philadelphia Burned
Heavy Losses.

Heavy Losses.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb 25.-At 1850 a fire
broke out on the stage of Fox's New American
Theatre. The fire is still burning at 2 a. NJ, at
Fox's Theatre, but owing to the confusion no
estimate of the loss can be made.
The flames which at one time threatened to
envelope it were stepped by the fire proof build
ing of the New York Mutual Fire Insurance
Company.
The following are the losses: Rogers wagon
factory, owned by q. j. Rogers of Morristown,
N. j., building damaged $15000,no estimate Of
loss can be placed upon the stock which how
ever is insured for $65 900; loss on Fox's Thea
tire is estimated at $15O,000, upon which there
is an insurance of $4,000 held by one of the
savings funds to secure mortgage upon the
property. 1t is stated that Fox also holds pol
icies of $4,000. The valuable collection of
books, particularly those on the south side of
the Mercantile Library, have been rendered
worthless. Loss variously estimated from $780,
GOO to $4,000, upon which is an insurance of
$150,000. Other losses about $4,000.
When the Rogers factory fell in Geo. f.
Newman of the insurance patrol was buried
in the ruins. He was taken out alive to-day,
eight hours after the accident. He is badly
hurt and it is feared will die. Two others Sc
verely Injured.

SUGGESTIONS TO PARENTS.

/. Teach your children to be re-
spectful and obedient to their teach
er.
3. Teach them not to be boisterous
about the house. If you have trials
in governing two or three children
of your own family, think Of the null
tipled trials of the teacher who has
to govern thirty or forty Of different
families.
3. DO not encourage your children
to tell tales out of school.
4. Do not decide upon compli-
ments brought to you till you hear
both sides.
5. Encourage your children in
their studies, and see that they pre-
pare their lessons at home,
6. Encourage the teacher by a
kind word when he or she deserves
it. This will give new energy.
z. VISIT THE SCHOOL AND SHOW
that you are interested in the man
agement of it.
s. DO not complain if your child,
who is absent two-thirds OF his time
and neglects his task at home, does
not progress as fast as others.
8. DO not permit your children to
absent themselves from school on
slight pretexts. Punctuality and
regularity are bsoIutely necessary
to progress in school.
10. Home influence is the strong
est that can be brought to bear upon
the education of your child. PARENTS
and not the teachers of a child, are
responsible for what it is and will be
in future.

GEnTLEMANLY JOURNALISM.

In last weeks issue, we mentioned
having declined to publish an article
reflecfing severely upon certain we'll.
known residents Of this place and
one of Seattle's prominent lawyers;
also that an offer of liberal rsmuner'
alton was no inducement to give the
article in question place in our col
umns. Our reasons for refusing 1t
were that upon inquiry we found the
statements made to be untrue in
many particulars. The proof that
they were untrue was obtained not
alone from the parties assailed, but
from friends of Mr.. Richard Thomp-
son whose communication it was.
The article spoken Of was written
to catch sympathy, but being SO un-
lust, aud the means of refuting its
statements being so easy of access,
it must meet public condemnation IN.
stead. We learn that it will appear
in print with to,day's issue of CO.
temporary journal. The nominal
editor of that paper well.knows these
statements to be utterly false, for he
is fully acquainted with every per.
son assailed therein. Evidently it
was the money offered that induced
him to publish this slanderous attack
on Sheriff Miller, Judge Kuhn and
McNaught & Haller. When pa
per, claiming place among honora-
bic journals, is willing, for few pal
try dollars, to publish malicious at
tack, by an irresponsible party, upon
men whose characters for honesty
have long been established, it is high
time that such paper be brought to
a realizing sense Of its duty to the
public.
The parties assailed are Democrats,
and had this paper desired party ad-
vancement and pecuniary { ain at the
cost of lowering of its standard of
honesty, the end would have been
easily secured by publishing this
mans carefully compiled attack. But
believing them to be entirely limo.
cent, we propose to accord ample
vindication.
