ard frame structure, was completely
demolished, and the hot ashes, flying brick
and fragments OF iron we're scattered in
all directions. The remains of the shed
were ignited and the fire companies SUM

extinguishea, and attention paid to the
work of eXtricating the injured. Their
names are; John Lee, engineer and fire

Especial Telegram to the Glebe.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-Jacob Abels, an old
and trusted clerk of the banking house of
Felsenthal & Kozminski, at No. 80 Fifth
avenue, is now behind the bars of a cell in
the county Jail, awaiting trial on
the charge of embezzlement.
There seems to be greal deal
Of mystery about the affair, and the
amount of money involved is much larger
than would first appear from the state
ments of interested parties. Abels is
German who has for ten years held i'm
portant positions in this private bank. He
lives on Milwaukee avenue, where his wife
and sister keep house for hlm. He had a
pleasant home and all that made life
bright and the future hopeful, but when
seen last night by reporter
in his cell he sat with bowed head and
broken voice, disgraced man. It is
charged that he commenced falsifying the
books of the bank some time ago, and
| conspired with certain depositors with the
/ bank, whereby they were allowed to draw
large sums of money By means of over
drafts. The correct amount of these
overdrafts was never entered
On the books of the bank.
Il is further alleged that
| the depositors who were thus permitted to
overdraw their accounts, divided with Ables.
| This was continued for months, and the
! latest amount of the embezzlement is set
! at about $4,000. One explanation made
by Mr. Kozminski was that this was the
amount received by Abeles ana that he got
half Of the2stealings. The firm has COM
promised with the other parties, and they
| have refunded their share. Under this
explanation the total stealings would
be about $4,000. Mr. Kozsminski stated
that they would not give the names of the
schemers except Abeles. The trial will
come up before Justice Eberhardt on De-
cember 27. Abeles when seen refused
| to talk or tell where he
had been since Saturday, and
kept referring the reporter to Mr. Felsen-
thai. 81 don't want to say anything only
that my employers know it all. want to
see my folks tonight. I can't tell you
whether it was $4,000 or not. You must
| see Mr.. telsenthaI.'' Mr.. Felsenthai is in
quarantine by scarlet fever and cannot be
seen tonight.

horns of the dilemma-reduction of the
amount of protection and the mainte-
nance of neeclessly large surplus. Re-
publican politicians have strenuously de-
MED they favored reducing the reve-
nue. by increasing protective duties
enough to cut down importation.
This looked like increasing taxation
and they did not dare own it. Last winter
the Republicans tried to reduce revenue
without reducing duties apprecisbly, and
they succeeded much better in protecting
than in reducing the revenue. Last sum-
mer the chief newspaper of the protec-
tionists suggested that the proper way to
reduce revenue was to increase duties and
SO check importation. Senator
Jones said to-day in conversation
that the great issue of the
next year would be the tariff because it was
absolutely necessary to reduce the surplus
revenue. A reduction of duties only in
creasss revenue unless reduction was car
ried so far as to eliminate wholly the
principle of protection, and expose our
industries to the full force OF foreign com
petition. The result of this reduction was
that the Democrats would be inevitably
driven, in spite of all they say about
to free trade
policy that is to the support of tariff
that would have no protection at all in it.
At the same time the Republican party
would find itself pushed by the logic of
events in the direction OF higher duties,
even to the extent in some cases of prohib-
itory duties. Thus the surplus revenue
could be disposed of, and at the same
time the country would receive great ben
eft from the extension of the protection
system. Senator Jones opposed the pro-
lection of articles which for climatic
or other natural reasons could not well be
produced here. He would not foster the.
cultivation of bananas oy Ugh duty on
the fruit. he would gradually abolish
the whole sugar duty, but subject to these
limitations he would rather fe, duties rais-
ed than lowered. 1t was better for Amer
ica to pay high prices for articles and Keep
home labor busy at good wages tn an to
get things cheap and allow this country to
furnish a poor market for labor.

just leaked out that Minister Young tele-
graphed Secretary Frelinghuysen immedi-
ately after the payment of the Japanese
indemnity fund last February that the
Chinese government was very indignant
that no action had been taken in respect of
their rights and this Indifference would
have marked influence on the friendly re-
lations existing between the two countries.
Steps are being taken to agitate the sub
ject. During the present congress two
bills will be introduced--one by Cox in

lieyed the matter may yet be settlee to the

MANY CHRISTIANS talk very Aippantly
about their sins, and recognise in vague
way that they are not exactly right, but
how many really apprehend that what
the Bible means by sinners is that such
persons deserve to go to he'll? How
many Christians really believe that of
themselves or their neighbors-that they
deserve to go to hell and suffer eternally
If they felt this, men would walk much
more softly and Gil cumspectly than they
do.
1t is not considered even polite to talk
about these things. The idea of gentle
men and ladies going to hell
