case. Meanwhile the council smiles
the smile of the just, and, albeit, inde-
pendence. When the contracts were exc
cuted with the Brush Electric Light COM
pany for Illuminating the certain districts
wherein the Gas company was ordered to
discontinue their lights, compact was en-
tered into between the city and the Brush
Electric Light company, whereby the lat
ter is to be fully Unidentified from all liza
bilities or damages to the former resulting
from such contract. Consequently, the
council will peremptorily reject the bill of
the gas company and then the Brush COM
pany, and Ex-Mayor Rand will be given
full permission to Eight it out on this
line if it takes all summer" and it proba-
bly, will.
In the presence of GLOBE representa-
tive several heavy taxpayers have express
ed the opinion, in evident alarm, that the
city will be holden to the gas company.
They do not thoroughly understand the
provisos of the electric contract else they
would realize that in no event, inasmuch
as the electric company is a wealthy cor
poration and responsible, could tie city be
called upon for cent in consequence of
the change from gas to electric illumina-
tion.

Take Care of the Matches

1t is a common custom to leave a box
OF matches anywhere, just where you
happened to use them last-on the
table, bureau, closet shelf in fact, in
any place except the match safe. Chill
dren get hold of them, and slip them
into their pockets, and then in pulling
out their traps to find something else,
the matches slip out, just as likely to
fall on carpet or barn floor, with
straw scattered all about, as anywhere
else. Somebody steps on them, or a
mouse nibbles at the PHOSPHORUS, and
off they go! Unaccountable! Strange {!
The work of an incendiary!
Another way-young men strike a
match to light cigar or pipe and
throw it down all ablaze, never minding
where it falls. If it is out of doors, It
cannot do any harm. It may not fall
straight to the ground, gust of wind
may carry either sparks or blaze into
some combustible material, and it is

HOSPITAL BURNED

MILWAUKEE, Aug 14.-A supposed incen-
diary fire caused the destruction of Passa-
want hospital, Twenty-one and State
streets, at 5 o'clock this morning. The
building adjoining the new structure was
still in use as an hospital, and twenty pa
tients therein had narrow escape, as the
roof took fire from the burning building
The hospital was just under roof and val
ued in its present condition at 100000.
The loss is estimated at $4,000, with no
insurance. The building was under charge
Of Architect Charles Brickner, of Fort
Wayne. DR.. Passavant is in Pittsburg,
where he has a similar institution. He
also has hospitals at Cleveland and at
Springfield, Ill. Plumbers were at work
on the building yesterday but were not al
lowed to take their fire pots in the build
ing, which leads the contractors to think
the fire was incendiary.

A Description of the Person of Jesus
Christ.

This was found in an ancient manu-
script, which was sent by Publius
Lentulus, President of Judea, to the
Senate of Rome:
There lives at this time, in Judea, a
man of singular character whose name
is Jesus Christ. The barbarians es-
TEEN him prophet, but his followers
adore him as the intermediate offspring
of the immortal God He is endowed
with such unparalleled virtue as to call
back the dead from their graves, and
to heal every kind of disease with a
word or a touch.
"His form is tall and elegantly
shaped, his aspect amiable and rever-
end; his hair flows in beautiful shades,
which no united color can match, fall
ing into graceful curls below his ears,
agreeably couching on his shoulders,
and parting on the crown of his head,
Like the headdress of the sect of the
NaZarites. His forehead is smooth, and
his cheeks without a spot, save that
lovely red; his nose and mouth are
formed with exquisite symmetry; his
beard is thick, and suitable to the hair
OF his head, reaching q little below his
chin, and parted in the middle like a
fork; his eyes are bright, clear and Sc
rene.
"He rebukes with majesty, counsels
with mildness and invites with the most
tender and persuasive language. His
whole address, whether word or deed.
being elegant, brave, and strictly char
acteristic of so exalted a being. No
man has ever seen him laugh, but the
whole world has frequently beheld him
weep; and so persuasive are his tears
that the multitude cannot withhold
theirs from joining in sympathy
with him. He is very modest, temper
ate and wise.
"In short, whatever this phenomenon
may be in the end, he seems at present
a man of excellent beauty and divine
p.erfectlons, every way surprising the
children of men"

The steamship Canada, of the National
line, which arrived recently from London,
brought among her cargo twelve pieces of
machinery, composing the two original
locomotives built by Stephenson and Watt
in the early part of the present century.
One of them, the historic Rocket, was the
first successful locomotive ever constructed.
1t was built in 1915 by George Stephenson
in order to compete for prize of $500
sterling offered by the directors of the
Stockton and Darlington railway for the
most effective steam carriage. At the trial
which took place on October 6, 1929, the
Rocket was Adjudges the best of the four
entered, having averaged speed of IA
miles an hour and even attained one of 30
miles. 1t was used on the road for a
number of years and was then removed to
the South Kensington Museum at London.
1t has been lent by the Museum to the

A HORRIBLE CRIME.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
RACINE, Wis, Aug. 14.-Probably the
most horrible crime ever committed in
Racine county was the cremation of Ferdi-
nand Skelnar at O'Clock in a barn near
his home, two miles north of this city, in
the township of Caledonia. The clrcum-
stances of the terrible affair as related by
neighbors are the most revolving and
cold blooded on record. The heavens in
the direction of North Point were brightly
illuminated at the hour named. A police
man sounded an alarm calling out the fire
department and they went only to the
city limits. At about o'clock Bohe-
mian woman came into town and inform
ed Sheriff Christian that barn near her
house had burned, and that young man,
named Skelnar, agedistwenty-four, had
been burned alive. Deputy Sheriff Don
nell, accompanied by Coroner Komas,
went to the place named and
held an inquest. The circumstances
of the affair are that young Skelnar, a
Bohemian printer and book binder, came
to Racine about two years ago, but being
unable to obtain employment at his trade
he was hired by NJ. W. Secor to work
about his residence. The young man did
not like the work and quit. He has since
then worked in various places as laborer,
also short time in the State Bohe-
mian printing Office. Of late
he has done little labor and
those who know him say he
was confirmed book worm, spending
nine-tenths of his time in reading. This
his mother objected to, and insisted upon
his working to support her, as she had
only been three months in America and
was in destitute circumstances. The
mother and son had frequent quarrels as a
result of his obstinate nature, and her de-
termination that he should work with his
hands and not with his brains. The pair
occupied room in the upper story of a
house owned and occupied by family
of their own nationality named Buck. Last
night they had a hot dispute about the
boys father, who still lives in Bohemia,
and the occupants of the lower apartment
allege that the fray waxed exceedingly hot
at times, the old woman swearing venge-
ance on the boy, saying the affair could be
settled before morning. The young man
went out to Bucks barn at 10 o'clock, re-
fusing to sleep in the house,
and the mother followed soon after.
%AO - " SAONh OlAO AulAlAJ VI q NOILuuA Acu1OO
Friedrich was awakened by Mrs. Skelnar
who informed them that Bucks barn was
on fire. The Friederichs state she did not
say anything about her son being in the
building asleep. Mr.. Friedrich awakened
the Buck family and then learned that
young Skelnar was an he occupant
of the yyre. He made careful investi-
CATION and found a large piece of
scantling braced against the ontside of the
door, which of course had been put there
BY some one who intended to kill the oc-
cupant. When the barn had burned
down, the baked flesh and charred bones of
Skelnar were found near the door, and the
position showed that he had made heroic
attempt to escape. The remains of a
horse were also found in another part of
the barn. Mrs. Skelnar, the boys mother,
is thought by great many to be insane.
