THURSDAY EVENING, FEB. 2, 1882.
Fire ESCAPES.

In view of the disastrous fire in New
York the other day and the thrilling
scenes and horrible fatalities resulting
from the lack of exterior fire escapes, we
reprint the law of 1S79-to which the
ISTELLICENCER has previously called
attention-on the subject of fire escapes
upon manufactures, hotels and other
public buildings in Pennsylvania. We
believe its provisions are not generally
known and certainly they are not gen
orally observed. This may lie, in part,
owing to popular Ignorance of such a
law, for as we have often pointed out
the people of this state have no way of
finding out new law and often go on
violating it unconsciously for years. The
neglect to obey or enforce this statute
is also partly due to the security
felt by operatives and employers in
places about which they are accustomed
to work {; and in part, no doubt, it is
owing to the division of responsibility
which the law admits in carrying it out
1t will lie seen that it is left to 4" owners,
supcrintendents or managers, without
specifying which in particular, though
obviously, as . permanent fire escapes
are to be g affixed to every such build
ing it is the duty of the property
owners to see that they are put up.
There are Il large number of buildings
in this city TO which this law applies. With
the exception of some of the cotton fac
tories we believe none are provided with
fire ESCAPES. The printing offices, seldom
occupied ut night, the hotels, some cigar
manufactures, warehouses, and numer-
Ous other buildings are notably within
its requirements. Strictly speaking the
city school directors are the persons here
to enforce it, though it would be no great
stretch OF authority for the new chief
engineer to assume the duties which the
law IMPOSES upon the " fire INA. sl.:!. -"
AS these escapes have TO be eXlminct!
and tested before the law is complich
with, it would be well for tliHparties who
are compelled to put them up to confer
and cooperate as to the most substantial
and economical way of doing it.. In the
face of the explicit directions OF the law
and tile danger which bes,.!s lis, it is nnt
right that compliance with the statute
Ee neglected any longer.

A Proud Mother.

The correspondents Of the English pa
pers write with smile when they charac-
terize Arab and his cabinet as "barbarous
Asiatics, )" "lawless men," and with other
kindred epithets hold him up to the ha-
tired of the world. Arab possesses the pre-
else degree OF education that the ordinary
British officer rejoices in. He knows one
language-the language of his country:
He has a thorough practical knowledge OF
military affairs, and he has the power OF
appealing to the hearts OF his countrymen
with never falling response. Shortly be-
fore the departure of the Europeans from
Cairo an American lady was invited TO
visit the harem of Arab. She described
the room in which the interview was held
as long, bare room, with a divan at the
end. The only ornament was small i'm
perial'photograph of Arab set up in SUI
perb jeweled frame. The only lady who
mother of the Egyptian general. She
spoke nothing but Arabic, She was dressed
in the blue dress of the peasants, the ma
terial, however, being OF better quality
than those generally worn. She was dis
figured by the tattooing Of the forehead
common among the lower classes. She re-
ceived the visitors with great courtesy. She
first pointed to the photograph with great
pride, saying that it was her most valued
possession. lnep, uraWliR ueis eli up w VII
pardonable pride, she exclaimed Tell
these English ladies that, although / am
nothing but poor peasant woman, If it
had not been for me Egypt would never
have had Arab Bey." Whatever may be
the defects of Arab in education, those de-
fects do not extend to his advisers and as
sociates. All of them talk French, all OF
them dress WE'LL all of them are accustomed
to as good society as can be found in New
York. Several of them have travelled ex-
tensively in Europe. Chicago Times.
