A FAMOUS HOUSE In FLAMES.
Excitement in Washington Caused by Fire

WASHINGTON, May 13.-lntense excitement
occurred in the vicinity of Wizards Hotel. this
morning, when it was announced that that
building was on fire. 1t is six stories in height
and crowded with guests, and when it was
learned that the fire was spreading up from the
ground floor through the central part of the
building it was supposed to be impossible to get
the people out in the sitting smoke that filled
the entire building without losing some lives.
The servant girls were more frantic than any
body else some of them swooned away in the
halls and were carried out while others did not
swoon until they were safe outside. Several

his room. filed a cheap pine trunk

tossed it out of window on F street, the trunk
rebounded about three feet and burst like it was
loaded with dynamite Morrison then began to
pile clothing, books and trunks out of the win

them. Ropes were lowered from windows, and
scores of faces appeared, ready to descend when
it became dangerous to remain longer in the
rooms. The most thrilling scene was the empty

guests They threw them out in wild confusion.
The hotel is a full block in length, about one
hundred feet wide and from four to six stories
above the basement. 1t looked for awhile as

Jim Keene's Career.

New York Letter in Philadelphia Times.
Destructiveness gives some small people joy;
this man Jim Keene, who has just walked the
plank. came to New York with what he thought
was the great reputation of having broken down
the property of the people of his native State.
He was as proud a circus horse. He had not
much health nor stomach, but he had plenty of
pride. You could see him champ an invisible
bit and want to have his head let out as he APP
peared in the cafes, / wrote two or three inter
views with him, yet could have formulated just
as well as he did out of my ordinary reading and
observation, but since he had two OF three
millions of dollars it was necessary to hear from
him. He was a poor idler and gambler, rot
good, not i'll. He was snob apparently, for
he never allowed us to hear of his wife during
all the eight or nine years he fourished about
New York. Perhaps his family is now to receive
some benefit from this burst peddler of dice, a
man who has tried every game from dealing in
breadstuffs and the necessares of life to over
throwing somebody's corporate property, and
finally graduating as the rival of old Russell
Sage and selling to small boys, and fools, and
heirs the right to call On him to put at him
general securities. Is there anything more alb
surd than million in the hands of milkman!
Our country is no longer ours who were born in
it; it is evcrybodys. 1t is like France. whose
capital is the place for every Russian and Yankee
and negro to go and find with his money his TEN
porary ioy and then be ruined and leave his
monument in somebody elses row of houses or
business shop
