SCRANTON, November "a.
The First ward Of this city was the
scene Of disasti ous fire at 9 O'clncE
this morning. About that hour the
family OF a miner named James Ruddy
awOke 10 find their house ir
flames. The occupants of the dwell
ling we're Ruddy, his wife and six chill
dren, The fire was close upon them,
Ruddy, who was scarcely able to
move from the effects of a recent mine
accident, took up the youngest child
and escaped with difficulty from the
burning building. This effort untitled
him for rendering further assistance
and his brave little wife carried out the
other five children, dartlng in and ont
of the flames with a reckless disre gard
for ber own safety. Her hands and
face were blistered in the fearful ordeal
and when she took out the last two
children, boy and girl, their night
clothing was on fire. The girls hair
was burned off and the lads face Is ter
ribly disfgured.
just as the neighbors were beginning
to assemble at the scene Mrs. Buddy
recollected that her husbands savings,
amounting to $3.50 in gold, were in a
room up stairs, and despite the protest
of those about her she again rushed in.
to the house. But che never returned.
She had no sooner gone up the stairs
than the upper floors fell in with a
crash and the place was completely eu-
veloped in fame.
All efforts to save her were futile.
Her shivering and suddenly bereaved
little ones whom she had plucked so
bravely from the ill-fated house in
which she perished were kindly cared
for by the neighbors, but 1t 10 thought
the boy and girl caanot recover.
The remains of MS. Ruddy were not
discovered amoDg the ruins until this
when it was found that the
flesh was burned from her bones. Most
of the money which lured her to de.
struction was found in good condition.
Two buildings besides Ruddy's were
destroyed by the flames and the
occupants had narrow escape. Mrs.
Ruddy was only twenty-six years old.

Mr.. Savage, of Boston, says that The great
fact OF inheritance cannot be successfully
disputed; the inheritance not only of our
physical qualities but OF our political, social
and religious ideals. We are recipients of
impulses from the dead world, says Mr.. Saw
age, which propel US this way or that; but,
he adds, the great majority of men never
wake up to enough of individuality TO be-
come propulsive power on their own part
10 help on and change the direction of opin-
ions. He says he is appalled, when be thinks
how rigid is this dominance of the dead
world over the living; and he asks himself if
anything ike individual freedom be not q
delusion and phantasy. The force in our
lives to which he gives the name of the Re gu
of the Dead World is what science calls the
Law of Heredity; law that touches every
thing and holds erything in its grasp. But
there is another force 70 which is given
the name of the Law of Variation. This
law makes US in 3 sense free. 1t sets as
pirstions TO work within US, so that we per-
petually feel the impulse toward the IDEAL OF
something broader and nobler We feel, says
Mr.. Savage, that it is possible for rs 10
arouse ourselves and react upon those forces
which are perpetually acting upon us. 1t lie
possible for Us TO modify the surroundings
that are all The time at work modifying us.
1t Is possible TO make our home different
from what ii was when we entered il, better
than it WAS The law OF variation, then, is
antsgonisric 10 the law of heredity. Ii indi-
viduzls or churches, or societies, or nations
ever become any better, it will be because OF
this law of variation or change. II is this
process of change, says Mr.. Savage, that the
whole weight OF the dead world, the whole
power Of heredity, the power OF custom, OF
tradition, tend TO repress and make impossi-
bic. Hence the contest, which, however,
is carried on only by advanced and superio l
minds.

HemelIs. Ia@s. and Stevenson.

In pleasant little essay, says the London
Saturday Review, which he modestly styles
Gossip on Romance" Mr.. X. l.. Stevenson,
in the fret number of Longman's Maoazins,
deplores the subordination of incident 70
character, or, as perhaps would be more cor
rect TO say, the absence OF incident, iu con-
temporary fiction. SIT is thought clever,D
he says, ITO write a novel with No story, or
at least with very dull oue;n he regrets,
and he is puzzled by, the fact that "Englisl
people of the present day are apt TO look
down on incident, and reserve their admira-
lion for the clink OF teaspoons and the sc.
cents Of the curate." Assursdly Mr.. Steven
son has good reason for his regret; in which,
let us here say, We do for our part most cor
daily share. The offense exists-ihat no
one can deuyi but from whom
does it come? From the "Eaglish
people of the present day" = from The
novel-reading English people, that Is 10
say-or from those who minister 10 their moi
very exacting literary wants? II is indis-
putably and most lamentably true that the
greater part OF our modern novels tell either
no story or tell very dull one; but by whom
is this Hthought cleyer"-by the readers or
the writer's? In word, may the sins OF the
circulating library be ascribed 10 the wild
vicissitudes OF TASTE" and may the noyflisis

The population is sufficient 10 support a

Rugby, and il posse sses some advantages
over it. A railroad is projected, running
from the Cincinnati Southern, near Glen

increase their value. Whether this railroad
will run near Rugby depends, we infer from
correspondence in the Rugbeian, very much
upon the generosity of the Rugby Board OF

The Rev. DIR. Snyder preached last even
ing at the church OF the Messiah on "A Lib
eral Christians judgment OF Ingersollism."
He said that men did not crowd into the
lecture-rocm wholly out of curiosity to see
Mr.. Ingersoil or 10 listen TO his wit, but be-
cause he represented the opinions of thou
sands OF rational persons, and that a large
number OF those who went 10 hear him in
dorssd his ideas. 1t was foolish for anyone
10 assert that in6delity had been answered.
We should not accept the old saying and be
ashamed 10 open the ancient armor of faith
and combat the old enemy. Calvinism was
the only true philosophical orthodoxy, and
il would be stronger If IL would only stand
without the aid OF the Scriptures. II all that
uss written in the Bible-its history, biogra-
ply and songs-were inspired by God, Mr..
Iugersoll was justified in saying what he does
about it. There was no sense in ortho-
dox ministers distorting the Bible to uphold
their doctrines. II the world was not Gre
aied in SIX days, then God has deceived The
Christian world for thousands of years.
Rational minds know how to interpret those
portions OF the Bible that treated of immor-
atty and bsrbarity, and the theories of Mr..

Artists VS.. Amateurs.

The Baltimore Sun says "from their mo-

ment of dramatic taste and love and APP

W hieh deserve and should receive hearty en-
couragment. Theatrical managers of ex-
perience do not fail to appreciate this fact
and only ignorance of the true relations ex
listing between the amateur and professional

the thought of rivalry. Amateur representa-
tions are to professional only what the school
is 10 the university, and it would not speak
well of the strength OF the regular stage if
it should show fear Of the efforts of anna
tours. Now, so far as amateur perform

more Sun, we have no quarrel. They
help to while awaya pleasant hour. They
are probably in many cases undertaken from
no 'sordid motive and are in reality often
given in aid. OF charities.' But we have no
right to look at them in this sentimental
light. The mere fact that charity has
prompted them should not shield their de-
fects from criticism, and the very admission
that there is a relation between the amateur
and the professional stage places both upon
the same plane and gives neither one an ad-
vantage over the other Nor is it true that

The Power OF she Press.

Talmage in a sermon on Thurlow Weeds
death said: "In our age the beat editorial
writers are often unknown outside of their
own offices. There are to-day too many in
dependent newspapers. for bosses to exist
very long. The people no longer ask what
certain men think, but step up TO a news
stand and buy three or four newspapers
representing different shades of opinion and
form their own judgment from them. There
will, OF course, always be small bosses in
every city and town OF the country, but the
most mighty and oyerpoweriDg boss will
be laid at rest tomorrow. He will have no
successor" Referring to the newspapers
again Mr.. TsImage said: "Seven more inhu-

Greeley, Raymond, Brooks and Weed. Like
it or not, state the tremendous fact. The

in 1856, opened in g modest way the estab-
lishmsnt which in less than thirty years was
one of the largest of the kind in the world.
Shortly after beginning business he began
collecting material for a History Of The Pacific
States, by which term is signi6ed the western
half of North America, from Alaska to
Panama, including all of Central America
and Mexico. After gathering all that
America would yield he several times WIS.,
tied Europe, always with marked success,
until his collection numbered IS 900 volumes.
Then he erected brick building specially
for his library on Valencis street, in San
Francisco, easy of access by cable cars that
run from the ferry at she foot of Market
street. But long before this he began 10
write. He studied hard and wrote diligently.
History was his aim; to gather and preserve
the experiences of men, and place them in a
clear ndensed form within the reach of all
other men-tbis was his object. AS prelim-
mary 10 his historical series, in 1879 he pub
lished the NdtiUe Races Of The Pacific States
in five volumes, which was received with
universal commendation throughout the
world. The most eminent scholars of Europe
and America were lavish Ia their praise of
II. Then came the History Of The Pacific STATES,
which is, indeed, series of histories, all
together covering the entire coast, one
twelfth the esrIh's surface, and probably the
greatest work of the kind ever undertaken
by mortal man.
