Two Children Sulf0cated in a Burning
Building in Chicago.

CHICAGO, MayS.
A distrcssingtan and pitiful scene was wit
messed yesterday morning at fire which
broke out about ten o'clock in three-stOry
brick tenement house at the northwest
corner of Clark and Eighteenth streets.
The building is occupied in the upper floors
by poor people, who earn a scant subsist-,
ance by working out, or taking in sewing.
Among them is a colored woman, named
Mrs. William Taylor, whose husband has
not lived with her for some, time, and who,
has been left alone to provide for the wants
Of two little children-one three and the
other two years old. Yesterday morning Mrs.
Taylor went out on an GRAND, leaving the
two children playing on the floor.
About ten o'clock volume Of smoke was
seen issuing from the windows, and in
very short time flames began to spread. The
alarm was given, and several engines were
promptly OH the ground. The fremen sOon
had the blaze under control, and search was
at once made for victims, and in few min
IlteS the bodies of the two little boys wee
discovered in small room near the one theiI
mother occupied.
They had both been choked to death by the
smoke. The oldest boy was also considera-
bly, burned about the head and body, but
the younger child showed hardly any marks
of being scOrched by the blaze. The moth
er, who had returned during the progress OF
the fire, was almost wild with despair, and
it was with difficulty that she was prevented
from rushing into the bliniDg building
When the bodies Of her children were foun6
her cries were heart-rending.
In one of the rooms on the second floor.
while the fire was in progress, an old blind
cOlored man, known among the folks in that
neighborhOOd, made narrow escape. In
the excitement his presence there had been
forgotten for a moment, but some people IL
a grocery next door made rush for the
room he was in, and succeeded in dragging
the old man out, safe and sound.
The mother of the two children says she
has no idea of how the fire began, as she
had left no fire burning in the stove wher
she went out. 1t was not unusual for her
to leave the children alone for time wher
she went out on errands. She had no OtheI
way to do, being left alone by her husband.
1t is supposed that the boys must have found
some matches and amused themselves ny

is beautiful plant for housegrowing-
The Scientific Farmer gives the follow
ing directions for growing the roots:
The best method we have tried is to pro
cure an earthen jar-suitably decorated
on the outside if desired, by painting or
FASTING on frieze or flower pietiires, or
by paper open-work covering. In
this place rich mold some five or SIX
inches deep, and in this place the Gala
plant. Now put on the top OF this mold
. q layer of clean, coarse sand, about two
inches deep, and on the top OF this
small pebbles. Then fill the jar with
water, and replace as eyaPorated. so as
to always have the water several inches
deep above the pebbles Place in a
warm and sunny window, and the plants
WIZ throw up large, luxuriant leaves,
to be followed by, efheo magnifcent
bloom. What is still better, the flower
stalks will be sent up in alsaceession,
SO as to affords nearly continuous series
of flowers. A few minnows introduced
into the water will usually thrive with
out care, and afford a pleasing study.

The Monthly Crop Report-ShOrtage in
Wheat.
WASHINGTON, May II

WASHINGTON, May III.
Following is brief synopsis Of the Agri-
cultural Department crop report as to spring
and winter wheat:
The May returns for spring wheat are low.
er as compared with those of April. This is
owing to frosts and backward season. The
average as compared with April is Il for
New York; Michigan, So; Ohio, 62, and Hi
nois, &C. There is further loss from
the plowing-up of large areas.
The reduction in Missouri is from SO
to so; Indiana, 75; New Jersey, 1O1-about
the same as April. All the remaining
Northern States show an improvement since
April. This is true of the Pacific Coast and
of nearly all the Southern States-COnnecti-
cut, 90; Pennsylvania, 95; Delaware, SIS;
Maryland, 80; Virginia, o.: North Caro-
lima, 96; South Carolina, %; Georgia, 81;
Alabama, %; Mississippi, 90; Texas, 81;
Arkansas, Sc; Tennessee, So; West Vir-
ginia, 80; Kentucky, 81; Kansas, OIL; Cali
fornia, "a; Oregon, 20. This is an inn
provement of fifteen points for California
and of seventeen for Oregon.
The average condition Of winter wheat is
ssh, against so. The breadth of the pres
ent acreage is 20 per cent. less, representing
loss of 1900, 900 bushels. Reports from
London agents show some improvement in
last month. A smaller acreage was sOwn in
England. In France and Germany rain and
higher temperature are wanted. There are
prospects of a reduced crop on the Continent
owing to frost and a reduced acreage. In
Austria Hungary there is prospect OF
medium crop.
There was intense interest here to obtain
the crop report from the Agricultural De
partment early in the day, but all attempts
to do this proved unsuccessful. The Com
missioner Of Agriculture was able to prevent
any premature publication of the results,
and it certainly can not be charged
against the Department that it had any
completely in stock-jobbing. The. ex-
traordinariIy backward season, the heavy
frosts, and the long-continued SHOWS had
created an impression that the acreage and
yield of spring and winter wheat would be
much less than it was last year. Some OF
the leading experts had placed the loss OF
wheat at 100000, 900 bushels. While
the result is not so unfavorab:e as
these more discouraging estimates, still
the crop report shows a loss In WIN
ter wheat of 1000, 600 bushels, and a cor
responding reduction in spring wheat 1t IS
to be noted, however, that the decrease Is
not uniform; that on the Pacific Coast, for
instance, there is gain of fifteen points In
California and seventeen points in Oregon,
but on the whole the Agricultural De
partment report seems to confirm the gloomy
views which have been entertained by
many.

The Bishop Of Copenhagen.

Munster, Bishop of Copenhagen, was
noted for his absense of mind, an in
trinity which increased as he advanced
nyears. He was accustomed whenever
his duties summoned him from home,
to hang a placard on his door announc
ing. for the benefit of any chance visitor,
that he would return at a certain hour.
One day. being obliged to attend to
some important business in the town,
he affixed the usual notice, and, his
errand accomplished, came home and
assembled the stairs leading to his modest
apartment. On arriving opposite his
door he glanced mechanically at the
placard, and, entirely unconscious of his
own identity, concluded that he was
too early, and waited outside until the
clock struck, when he suddenly recol.
lected who and where he was and LET
himself in.-dH the Year Round.

Affect Poverty and Suffering In Ireland


As result of inquiries made at the State
Department, it has been learned that the
subject Of Governor Buffers recent letter to
Secretary Folger-namely, pauper immigra-
ton from Ireland, has for some months
been under consideration in that depart
ment A number of reports relating thereto
have been received, and among the most
interesting is one from ConsulGeneral
Merritt, of London, giving the results of an
investigation made at his request in March
last by United State Consuls IN Ireland.
The Consuls generally agree that the dis
tress prevailing at present is not exceptional
in its character, and that published
accounts to the contrary are exag-
gerated. In the poorer agricultural
districts the situation Of the peasantry b
miserable, and abject poverty is the rule,
but, sad as it is, it has been the same
for years and has become the normal condi-
ton of life. 1t may be safely assumed that
the much talked of starvation point" has
not been reached, however bad the situation
may be, and that local and Government
authorities have abundant means to relieve
actual necessity. The prospects Of the
amelioration of the present condition in the
immediate future are most discOuraging.

A MOney.Making Memory.

George Harding, ESQ.,, the distin-
guished Philadelphia patent lawyer, i.
remarkable for a retentive memory.
On Saturday Mr.. Harding rode down
to Wall street, New York, in Broad
way omnibus. A beautiful young lady
got in and handed fifty cents to the at
torney, requesting him to please hand
it to the driver.
With pleasure" said Mr. Harding,
at the same time passing the fifty cents
up through the hole to the stage man.
The driver made the change and
handed forty cents back to Mr.. Hard
ing, who quietly put it away into his
vest pocket and went on reading
moving machine brief.
Then all was silence.
The young lady began to look nerp-
ously at Mr.. Harding for her change.
+" Can it be possible that this is one Of
those polite confidence men we read OF
in booksT' she thought to herself.
Then she looked up timidly and
asked Mr. Harding something about
the Brooklyn Ferry.
"Oh, the boats run very regular
every three minutes" replied the in
terrupted lawyer, trying to smile. Then
he went on reading his brief.
"Do the boass run from Wall street
to AstOria?" continued the young lady.
Il don't know, madame" replied
Mr.. H., petulantfy; I'm not a resi-
dent of New York; I'm a Philadel-
phian."
'Ah! yes''-(then a silence).
Mr. Harding again buried himself in
his brief. while the young lady ahemed,
and asked him what the fare was in the
New York stages. - ..t
why. ten cents, madame -teD
cents.
"But gave you fifty cents to give tC
the driver, interrupted theyoung lady,
"and-" "a 80
Didn't he return your change? Is
it possible? Here, driverr' the lawyer
continued, dropping the brief and pull
ing the strap violently, why the dick
ems don't you give the lady her forty
cents. sir, forty cents?"
Il did give her the change. Tgave
forty cents to you, and you put it in
your pocket shouted back the driver.
ITO me?" said Mr.. Harding, feeling
in his vest pocket, from which his
fingers brought out four ten-cent pieces
Gracious goodness, madame! / beg
ten thousand pardons; but-but-"
= .-Oh, never mind" said the lady,
ewing him suspiciously; you know a
lady in wicked city like New York has
to look out for herself. It's no matter
it wasn't The forty cents; but before /
left home mother cautioned me against
polite confidence men, who look Sc
good outside. but"
Goodness gracious! my deaE wom-
am exclaimed Mr.. Harding, while all
the passengers eyed him with suspi-
cion Il assure you"
But the stage stopped and the young
lady. holding fast to her portemonnaie,
got out and fled into the Custom House.
while Mr.. Harding went on filhng up in
this form:
Goodness gracious! Did you ever?
0 Lord! what shall do?'' etc.
The lawyer. got so excited that he
went back to Philadelphia in hurry.
He even forgot to take big fee in a
moving machine case. He says he'd
rather pay ten thousand dollars than to
let the Philadelphia fellows get hold of
the story.-Phfladeiphio lem

GENERAL,

THE employment of four thousand
Chinese upon the Northern Pacific Rail-
road in British Columbia is giving signs Of
trouble. The cry against the Chinese is
greatly heightened by the knowledge of
the fact that one Chinese firm in Victoria
has $50 900 in savings mostly from Chinese
railroad workmen.' Other Chinese firms
have lesser sums, almost every dollar of
which goes to China, impoverishing the
Province. The question of prohibiting
Chinese emigration is being agitated.
