BLAZE IN A SLEEPING CAR.

The Passengers Rescued by Chopping -
Hole in the Side of the Coach.
TROY, n. Y, Dec. Sat one O'Clock
yesterday morning. while the late New York.
express on the New York Central s. Hudson,
Road was passing a point short distance
south of Castleton, fire was discovered in thes
sleeping car attached to the train. The
flames were first noticed in the ladies'
parloT. The train was run into Castletoiaa
and stopped, and the passengers were
hurried out of the burning car. All es-
capped injury with the exception of one man,
who was terribly roasted in his berth. H0-
was taken to the hotel, where he now lies
in dying condition. His name is not known.

the utmost CONSERVATION prevailed.

and were almost suffOcated by the smoke
before aroused. She doors of the car were.
found locked, and the windows fastened
down. An ak was obtained and an opening
cut through the side of the car by which,

KANSAS sTATE NRWS.
Attempt to Burn a Kansas Asylum.


LAWRENCE, KAN, Dec. 10.
Quite sensation was caused here this
morning about three O'Clock by the at
tempted firing by an incendiary of the
State Asylum for Feeble Minded, coupled
with the firing Of shots into the Office with
the evident intention of assassinating the
Superintendent, Colonel II. NJ. Greene. The
Superintendent with the officers of the in
stitution were first awakened by the break
ing of glass in the Office, and upon rising
found the corner of the building in flames.
The water hose Of the building was brought
into play promptly by experienced hands,
and the flames were soon under control,
but not until considerable damage was
done, however. Colonel Greene, upon ris-
ing, at once rushed into the Office with
lighted lamp, where he was saIuted by
three shots in rapid succession, the last one
grazing his cheek, and upon the repetition
of which he quickly extinguished the light
in his hand. Rushing out with an assist
ant chase was given. Parties were seen on
the run, but being near a park they were
soon lost. The affair is wrapped in mys-
terry as to the perpetrators. No ill-feeling
exists that is known of against the institu-
ton, it being under good management and
well conducted. Colonel Greene is in To-
peka today looking after the Offering of a
reward by the State. The most plausible
explanation which can be given from pres
ent facts known is that of a personal
grudge against the Superintendent, who is
an active politician and has made some en-

SENATOR ANTHONY on the 18th en-

ceremony attending his taking the oath was
impressive. AS he entered the area in

oath. This is a very unusual occurrence in
the Senate, and Senator Anthony was
much affected by this signal indication of
the respect accorded him by all his assO-
ciates.

Whv the Frost il Walcoma.

None but fairies could weave out OF
fancy such infinitely graceful and del
icate forms as the frost assumes. 1t
has fairy quality, too, of falling away
when you look at it, and the glittering,
sparklin lines disappear with faint,
tinl1ling sound-the knell of the pass
ing summer, the prelude of the poetry
of fall.
With the first frosts there comes a
new vigor in life. In the sky the tleecy
cumuli cover out of sight the feathery
cirri, as the woolly snow will blanket
the earth a little later. The sumac
takes deeper tinge, rich and full
blooded as fine Burgundy-that most
masculine of wines. Mr. Chipmunk
shakes his tail as he feels chill in the
morning, runs about briskly and thinks
it is almost time to go hunting for nuts.
After the first frost it is not many
weeks before the last butterfly,
Like winged violet, floating in the meek
Pink-colored sunshine, sinks his velvet feet
Within the pillared mullein's delicate down."
To come to q more practical illustra-
ton, the first frosts open the wild rice
in the rivers edge, and fatten the reed
bird, that mouthful of mbodicd summer
essences. With the first frosts comes
freedom from fear of fever in the val
leys of the South. And last, with the
first frosts comes to the weary citizen
prospect Of speedy relief from the weary
weight of oppression of summers
heat in the city. On this account we
have reason to be thankful for the first
frosts. Philadelphia Press.

Social Euualit7,


We are so far creatures of habit that
we drive on along certain lines unless
something pushes us off them. We
once had the habit of saving; we have
been driven off that line by several con-
spring forces. One of them is the
abundance of natural bountics given to,
his people, Along with this goes the
effect of numerous suddenly gotten for
tunes, and the large gains that have
come from trade, invention, and the
rise of real estate. A multitude of peo-
pie becoming rich in few years have
Set an exam pie of free spending, which
has been contagious. Our democratic
society has done the rest. We must all
ride in parlor cars, sleep in first-class
hotels, wear good new clothes, have
Queen Anne houses and furniture, be-
cause each of us is as good as another,
and there must not be any external evi-
dence of our being poorer than our
neighbors. So it has come about that
many of us reverse Wesley's rule and
read it, ''Spend all you cam for it is
only by the largest possible spending
that we can "keep up appearances.
The growth of vast fortunes might
have been expected to break up the
race for equality, for surely the mil
lionaire must easily keep ahead of the
rest of us; but close observer sees
that we resent this distinction, and that
protest against great wealth, with its
special privileges, is at the heart of the
anti-monopoly feeling. We got it fixed
in our heads that we must be socially
equal, and we tried to vindicate our
principle; and we are deeply aggrieved
because few hundreds or thousands
of families have gotten beyond the
reach of our purses. So it has come
about that our notions of what we need
to spend are socially regulated 1t is
not our idea of comfort, conceived by
ourselves, but the social standard OF
comfort that rules in our feelings. We
are unhappy if we can not keep up with
others; if we must not nave what they
have; if we must openly show that we
are getting shabby and out at elbows.
Most of the fathers would have laughed
at such griefs as those from which their
children suffer, not because they were
coarse creatures, but because they had
not the habit of measuring happiness
in social measures. We have this habit.
and it has supplanted the habit OF thrift
which our fathers had, = Chicago Adso-
