last night, and through a committee
of FIVE, including Messrs. N. Fon.
tame, w. W. Thaeher. W. II. Rhea,
G. B Thornton and G. W. Metcalf,
offered the following tribute to the
memory Of the late Judge Horrigan,
after which oeing unanimously

RESOLVED, That the m mbers of the
Memphis Society of the Red Cross Of
Geneva unite with their fellow citizens in
deploring the death Of Judge Lawrence B.
Horrigan,
Resolved, That as a member of this So
ciety he upheld its principles and purposes
by life of the broadest and most compre-
henSive charity. His heart was easily
moved by the cry Of the distressed and
the appeal of the sorrowful; and, though
infexible in the performance of duty, he
was prompt with tender sympathy for the
one and generous hand for the other
Resolved, That our Brother Horrigan
wac uh hPlib JuNBOl ah hoiiNott Alhulf
man, who was not only answering in his
integrity as to his duty on the bench, but
in all that he was called upon to do,
whether in private or public life. lie was
a modest man, and the honOrs conferred
upon him by his fellow citizens could not
swerve him from the simple dignity of a
character that rested securely upon the
foundations Of duty. To be an upright
American was to him to DO all a man
could be.
Resolved, That we mourn his loss, not
only as member of this society, but as a
citizen, and, above all, as Judge whose
place it will be difficult to 6ll.
Resolved, That we condole with Mrs.
Horrigan upoa her loss, and tender her
our heartfelt and respectful sympathy
upon bereavement the saddest Memphis
has fer years been called upon TO sustainl
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes Of the society,
and that copy of them be forwarded TO
the widow Of our deceased brother, and
that they be published in the daily news
papers Of the city.

The anniversary of the battle Of

Window has real popularity to carry

has a not altogether comfortable bit

If DIR. Miller and his friend of the

they carry the democratic party of
Nebraska in their brooches pocket
they are likely to have their eyes
opened very shortly. The democratic

not the kind Of cattle which DR.. Mil.
Ter Is in the habit of trading in. The
crack of the editorial whip has lost lis
terror and the howlings of the old fish

THE Milwaukee horror, full details
OF which appear in our tele.
graphic columns, will call renewed
attention throughout the country
to the criminal neglect of
city governments to provide a
suitable inspection of the means for
protection and escape from fire afford
ed by hotels, theatres and other pub
lie buildings within their limits. The
Newhall house, at Milwaukee, was
known to be a fire trap. A few days
before It's destruction u local board of
underwriters had hesitated over tax
Ing risks on itn insurance. Six stories
high with narrow and winding halls,
and no fire escape for use in
an omerg ency like that which
happened On Wednesday morning,
1t offered every facility for a holocaust
In which sixty victims persisted. The
burning of the Brooklyn theater
caused a spasm of activity in oil of our
large %clties, and a rigid inspection of
places of amusement was the result.
A few doors were ordered opened,
several corridors were widened, and,
if we remember correctly, three thea
tors condemned as unsafe without en-.
tire reconstruction. With the dying
out OF the excitement over the disas-
ter, died cut also the interest of
officials, and the last few years have
seen a relape into the old indifference.
1t is to be hoped that Wednesdays dis.
aster will attract attention to the
means of fire escape provided by
hotels in various cities Of the country,
The chief aim In the construction o.
most public houses Is economy O
space and ventilation at the expens,
Of the safety of guests. Every hote
of over two stories In height ough
TO be provided with iron fire escape

forced building law should requir
