A CONVENT BURNED.
T wenty-seven Persons, Including
Teachers, Sisters of Charity and
Children Burned to Death.

BELLEVILLE, Ill, Jan. 8. The
st. Joseph Roman Catholic cOnyent
was burned to the ground early this
morning. FIVE nuns jumped from the
fifth story window. One of them was
k illed and the others are likely to die.
In the convent there were sixty pu-
pills, all girls, from ten years to adult
age, several teachers and a number Of
other inmates. The fire is said to
have started in the rear On the third
story which is used as dormitory. An
attempt was made by the sisters to ex-
tinguish the flames, but this failing,
efforts were made to save the pupils.
The fire spread SO rapidly that order
could not be preserved and panic
seized both the children and sisters, all
making wild aud confused rush to es-
cape. Forty OF more pupils are known

THE New YEAR is a good time to
consider the generally overlooked
claims of the local newspaper 1t is
the most useful and the least compen-
sated and appreciated of all agencies
which stamp the impress of progress
upon villages and inland cities. With
out the local newspaper local towns
are, as a rule, thriftless and tend to
decay.
1t is common for small great men to
speak with contempt of the local news
paper. In that they initiate greater
men in speaking of greater journals
which offend by manly criticism but
the village newspaper makes more
great men out of lose material-more
bricks without straw-than any other
factor in politics, and it is the one lad
der on which men climb to local dis
tinction as the beginning of wider
fame.
The journals of Pennsylvania have
progressed in typographical elegance,
in editorial power and in freshness
and completeness of local and general
news even more than the city journals
during the last score of years. Every
inland city in the State has its daily
paper or papers now, and many of
them surpass the Philadelphia journals
of a generation ago in all the attrib-
utes of a newspaper, while the local
weeklies have kept fully abreast with
the general progress of journalism.
Local weeklies have now extended
from the country towns into most of
the thrifty villages, and the advent Of
the local newspaper has always dat
ed the increased thrift of the commu-
nifty. The local newspaper is the life
of its locality, and the measure of its
support, as a rule, measures the ad-
vancement of the people. Begin the
new year by not only subscribing but
paying for your local newspapers.
They are the friends and helpmates of
all Times.

estimated last night. Instead of two,

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 7th, 1884.
The usual New Years parade at
the White house brought to close the
dullest holiday season Washington
has experienced in many years. Just
why it has been so phenomenally dull
is not easily explained, but the fact re-
mains. It is needless again to de-
scribe the New Years receptions and
scenes at the Capital, for they have
been worn threadbare, as q topic,
these many years. 1t is the same old
thing over and over again; a rush of
people to see and be seen; display of
fine toilets; the formal exchange of
compliments, with lot Of fummery
thrown in. There is music and flow
ers, military epaulets, naval uniforms,
and the gaudy, as well as strange cos
tunes of the representatives of foreign
lands, who come in court dress to make
their salaams to the American chief
magistrate. After natural curiosity
has been gratifed by witnessing it
once, the whole performance ever after
becomes bore to all but those who
are fond of dress parade, or of mixing
with official hambug just because it is
official
All the signs point to every active
work in congress from the start, and
to an end Of the present session much
erlier than the long sessions usually

his Appropriations Committee at
work and, though his object is said to
be partly to head off Mr.. Morrison
and the Ways and Means Committee,

bills will, as n result, be advanced with
unprecedented rapidity. When The
appropriations are out of the way
Congress is generally ready to adjourn,
but still lido not think there will be
any adjournment this year until some
definite action on the tariff question
has been taken. "Wherc McGregor

saying which exactly fits the placing
of Mr.. s. s. Cox ON the list of House
committees. So, while no one doubts
that by length of service and precm-
inent attainmcnts Mr.. Cox, if he de
sired it. was entitled to the chairman
ship of the Committee on foreign AZ
fairs, yet there is reason to feel graf
flied that the duty of looking after the
interests of our decaying navy should
have fallen into such capable hands.
Though the Naval Affairs may nomi-
nallv be the inferior committee, there
is no question that at the present time
it is vastly the more important one.
The herculean task of rebuilding the
navy has just begun, and there is moth
ing to prevent liberal appropriations
for the purpose except the fear of the
| jobbery which seems TO have fastened
itself so firmly upon every Republican
administration. Mr.. Secretary "Bill'

press himself highly pleased with the

Another liberal departure was made
on January 1st by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company in striking out the
restriction as to age from the rules

Heretofore the sale of such commuta-

years of age. This having been abol-
ished students, without regard of age,
attending elementary, scientific or art
schools, will be entitled to purchase
