KANSAS City is a temperance place
that Il, on the surface. High license does
the work better than prohibition does in
the State Of Kansas, across the river. A
gentleman who has lived there some time
tells the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
that the shops, stores, saloons, etc., are all
closed on Sunday. 1t is impossible to get
a clean shave, amorning nip, a cigar or a
stick Of candy. At the restaurants one
can obtain cup of coffee, with bread and
butter and a boiled egg but even they do
not pretend to keep an open house as
during the week. In consequence, those
who have not laid in supplies on Satur-
day, particularly of liquor, cross the river
into prohibitory Kansas, where they
get blind drunk and return home uproar-
ious. Prohibition in Kansas Is not
near as binding as high license in Mis-
souri,, where after dear experience in
obtaining license, the proprietor is so
apprehensive Of its revocation that he is
scrupulous in conforming to the condi-
tions, and will not sell or give away a
drink on Sunday for love or money.
While upon the surface there is an appear.
ance ofsanctity, it is not his opinion that
the morals of Kansas City have under
gone any change for the better The out
side Of the sepulcher has been white,
washed, and that may be counted gain
by those who are satisfied with appear
ances. Practically the attempt to reform
the morals Of the people by law is there,
as everywhere else, melancholy failure.

W0rKmon q Cinware Factory Ia fralti-
moro Make q Narrow Escape.
A fire Wednesday afternoon destroyed
tho large tinware factory Of Matthal, In,
gram s. Co., at Lexington and Arch
streets, Baltimore, together with all the
machinery and stock. The fire originated
from a gasoline fire pot used by one of
the solderers and spread with such rapid
ty that nothing whatever was saved and
the hands employed had barely time to
escape. The fremen were prompt and
early at the fire, but could do nothing
except protect adjacent houses. The
building of Matthal, Ineram s. Co. was 70
by 120 feet, three stories high and valued
at 500, 900, upon which there is an insur
ance of $12, 900. The machinery and
stock were estimated at So, 900. upon
which there is about $50, 600 insurance,
principally in out of town companies.
> The fire spread westward and destl Dyed
the roofs and back buildings of two large
three story houses on Lexington street,
belonging to the Carson estate, causing a
damage of about 81 900. which is covered
by Insurance. A house belonging to
jacob Ross was damaged $500, one be-
longing to Mrs. Sarah MalIcp $500 and one
to JChn s. Hogg $500, all of which are
covered by Insurance. On Monsmorency
street, on the north, fourteen two story
houses were damaged, aggregating about
So, 500, the greater portion of which are
insured. On the east four houses on Arch
street had their roofs destroyed and the
upper part Of one was crushed by the fall
ing wall Of the burned building. By the
destruction of the factury three hundred
hands are thrown out of employment.

NEUkAk AMI DANUBE.

NEUKAk AMI DANUBE.
In sight OF Hohenzollern's e towers,
fair and fruitful valley lies;
Within its bounds two mighty streams
The Neckar and the Danube-r:se.
The one flows westward to the Rhine
And mingles with the North Sea food.
The oth-r seeks the Orient's wave,
So often tinged with Moslem blood.
One summer morn Two lovers stood
Where the twin streamlets bubble forth;
She looking towards the gentle South,
He looking toward the dim grey North.
"Ah me :" he cried, that this morn
Must on this distant journey start
Henceforth our pathways, like these streams
Perc1ance forever lead apart"
- Nay-say not So" the maid replied.
"Say rather that We go Our way,
Each growing sreater as go.
Though distance wid'ning day by day.
But as these waters after all
In one great common ocean meet.
so may not We. in llfe's broad sea,
Yet hope to find reunion sweet"
And SO they parted. Still the streams
Flow SILENT onward to the sea-
And still the lovers hope and wait,
The ocean is-Eternity.

Wild Western Life.

Buffalo BilPs experiment of furnishing
a genuine outdoor exhibition of wild Wes-
tern life with genuine wild Western ma
terial has proved SO successful that all
kinds of offers have been made him by
capitalists. One gentleman proposed to
fence in large area on this island for
him. So far he has held to his
own itinerant course and will give his ex-
hibitions wherever he can obtain the fair
grounds of a town. The entertainment is
. spirited and picturesque one, combining
both amusement and instruction, and
offers for the first time safe view of the
most dangerous of wild Western scenes.
It is curious to know that P. T.. Barnum
struck this very idea thirty years ago and
undertook to get up in Hoboken a genuine
buffalo hunt. As there was no Buffalo
Bill in the field at that time the whole
thing proved ridiculous tiasco, although
thousands of people crossed the fer les to
see it.
