Narrow Escape from . Horror.


New York, Oct. 15.-A servant going
down the main stairway of the Metro.
politan hotel to the basement, shortly
after ten o'clock this evening, discovered
that the wooden partition between the
hotel Office and the stairway was on fire.
The situation was q startling one. The
fire was at the bottom of the stairway,
the elevator shaft was Just adjoining,
and on the floor above were
several hundred guests, some of
them asleep within the walls of the hotel
building. In Niblo's garden sat an audi.
ence of $500 persons, and in the
orchestra and on the stage were nearly
500 more. Mr.. Clair, the manager of the
hotel, ordered the fire stretched up from
the basement, and an alarm sent from
the street box, key to which was in the
Office. The hotel men worked with cool
ness and expedition, and the fire was
out before the engine arrived.
Manager Gilmore was notified OF
the fire alarm as soon as Mr.. Clair. He
took prompt measures to insure the au-
dience against an unnecessary panic,
while providing at the same time for
their escape should actual danger be
threatened. Ten minutes after the fire
was out and the firemen gone the per-
formance closed, the audience passed
quietly out. Not soul of them knew
that there had been fire in the hotel OF
an engine on the block.

Dakota's extreme prohibitiopists
should profit by the lesson of the Ohio
election. They demanded of the repub-
lican party absolute acquiescence to all
their plans or the defeat of the party.
Their gain is-a legislature 90 over.
wbelmingly democratic that it will refuse
to enact single Law in behalf of their
cause. And this in spite of the fact that
the Germans remained loyal to the re-.
publican party. It does not seem as
though the extremists of Ohio have
struck the right plan for accomplishing
the salvation Of mankind at the polls.

The Ideal Home.

New York Tribune: The ideal home
is a haven of rest where the husband and
wife both have their own way in every.
thing; where the children never cry;
where the servants are models of honesty
and industry; where the dinner is never
late aud always well cooked; where
there is no perceptible wash-day; where
the sweeping and dusthg are done when
nobody knows it; where selfshness aud
bad temper are never known; in short.
n little heaven on earth, inhabited by
holoughly angelic mortals. Homes of
that kind constructed on q scientific
basis and served hot, like steam, through
snbterranean pipes, would meet a long
felt want. Nenrly every family would
subscribe for one.

element advance as an argument in
favor of their side Of the case the state
ment that the people cannot trust their
own legislatures to make laws for them.
IT this be true, there is relief only in the
institution of an absolute monarchy.
But We do not propose to insult the
people of Dakota by admitting that 1t is
true. There has in the past been some
bad legislation and it il from this evil
that We propose to escape through the
proposed statehood plan. Under the
present system of government An i'm.
ported governor is equal to one third
the legislature. Under . state govern
ment the same condition would exist,
but this power would be lodged in the
hands of governor who would be elected
by the people and who would be sub.
jected to the most rigorous constitutional
control. The laws governing territory
place no restriction upon its guberna-
torial head and if he happens
to be o bad man there is
hardly any limit to his corrupt practices.
The unsavory legislation of the past is
also largely due to the numerical weak.
ness of territorial Legislature A COM
blnation of eight men in the upper house
can control absolutely the legislation of
an entire session. The constitution OF the
proposed state allows us representa-.
ton of thirty three in the senate and one
hundred in the house. In a body
of this size corrupt combinations
would be almost an lmpossibility.
Even in Dakots's small legislatures there
would have been little corruption but
for the pernicious influence of members
from the north. We need not say who
they are. Every one familiar with pub.
lie history knows without being told. 1t
was not because they came from the
neighborhood of any particular parallel
of latitude that they were corrupt, but it
was because they were chosen and sent
by corrupt railroad organization and
because the power Of that or
ganization's money and influence
was delegated to them to use as they saw
fit in the furthersnce of the schemes Of
that organization. Working lnsiduously
among those members who under better
influences would have been better men,
they have succeeded in corrupting suf.
ficient number to enable them to carry
out their purposes. 1t is through the
statehood movement that the people of
the south propose to slough off this rail-
road alliance and leave it to dictate the
affairs of its own particular territory.
With this element banished from our
councils, with a full represen ntation for
all the people and with an honest COVER
nor. the legislatures Of the future can be
trueted to honestly and wisely legislate
for a. intelligent and conscientious .
people as ever the sun shone on.
When they tell you that you cannot
trust your legislatures to legislate for
you. they tell you that you caunot trust
yourseli-thst you must suspect your
own honor and your own integrity.

changeable clause regulating the mode

an instrument would deserve unanimous

The complete destruction Of the

by NJ. Girard. He would dissolve the
bodies in cold, concentrated sulphuric
acid.
Professor Huxley maintains that In. .
fishing districts an acre Of sea was
more profuse in food production than
an acre of land. Salmon river re-
quired protection. But in the case Of
the great sea the circumstances were
entirely different. He believed that
the cod, herring, pilchard, mackerel
and similar fisheries were ineXhausti-
BILE, and were entirely beyond the con
troll of man either to diminish the
number of fish or to increase them by
cultivation.
DR.. John G. Thompson writes to the
London papers to point out what
ought to have been a well-known
fact to Captain Webb. or any other ex-
perienced swimmer, that human
strength or skill is of absolutely no
use in foaming water, where the num-
Der of air bubbles is necessarily SO
great as to reduce the gravity Of the
water sufficiently to make it impossi-
bic for the strongest swimmer to sup
port himself. Had this consideration
received due weight Captain Webb's
attempt might never have been made.
A curious fact about water Is that it
is the metal known as hydrogenium.
When oxygen combines with iron it
forms a reddish rust, and the metal
becomes in time disintegrated. In this
condition it is said to be oXydized. Now
water is simply oXydized hydrogenium.
This metal is present in the sun and
all the planets in enormous quantities.
Indeed it is said that the human body
is composed of five and a half pals of
water, mingled with some lime, iron,
and certain salts. Chemistry has re-
vealed to us many marvels, but none
greater than the composition of COM
mon water..-Dem0reSt.
