In Red Lyon square lived, in former
days, many notable persons. Among
these was Jonas Hanway well known
as the benevolent traveller, the found
er of Magdalene hospital, and last,
but not least, as the introducer of UNI
brellas into London. Hanway, who
died at his house in the square in 1876,
was the first man who ventured, after
his return from Persia in delicate
health. to walk about the streets Of
the metropolis with an umbrella over
his head. 1t was a bold proceeding;
for, although others ultimately fol-
lowed his example, some time elapsed
before the fashion became general, and
it was so regarded as sign of in6rmi-
ty to use umbrellas that those who
carried them were exposed to much
achaff" and unpleasant jeering from
the London gamins Of the day.
Strangely enough, the high position
the umbrella has attained in political
circles of late is foreshadowed in one
of Beaumont and Fletchers plays,
Rule Wife and Have wife" where
Altea says, as though she were adj
dressing a liberal candidate for par
liamentary honors of the present time;
Are you at ease9 Now is your heart at ress9
Now you have gotta shadow, an umbrella
To keep the searching worlds opinion
From your fair credit
The umbrella may be glorifed by
Mr.. Gladstone; but it would be unjust
to ignore the fact that it is really in
debted for It's greatness to the grand
old man Of Red Lyon H7uaye.--St
Jamss's Gefsits.

exceedingly evanescent; it rarely lasts

The growth of American public
libraries since the revolution has been
something phenomenal. There were
in the country in 1776 but twenty of
these institutions, with an aggregate
of 45,623 volumes. At the present
time there arei nearly 1900, containing
more than 100000 volumes.

The center of population is moving
rapidly westward. 1t is now a little
to the south of Cincinnati, having long
since crossed the Alleghenies. The
movement has been about 44.5 miles
west for every mile south. In 1890
the movement westward will probably
be even greater, and, so rapid has
been the settlement of the Northwest,
the center of population will be far
ther north than at present.

Big Blaze in Chicago.

CHICAGO, March 21.-At O'Clock this
evening fourteen fire engines poured
water into the Langham Hotel, which
was mass of flames from the basement
to the garnet. The fire originated in
one of the lower rooms from kerosene
lamp, which accidentiy overturned. At
the time, the restaurant of the house
contained 100 guests at supper, and as
many more were in the rooms. The
people in the restaurant had
no trouble in getting out, but
several persons in the upper rooms had
very narrow escape. The flames spread
with marvellous rapidity, and before
the second alarm was turned in, the
flames were bursting through the roof.
A general alarm was given half an hour
after the fire broke out, but all the en-
gines, which could be brought to play
on the flames could not get the fire
under control,
Mrs. Belknap, an elderly lady, was
killed in jumping from the fourth story
into the alley. Subsequently, the cry was
raised that the walls were falling, and
that Bullwinkle's insurance patrolmen
were inside the building. A portion of
the south wall was seen to totter and
then it came down with crash. The
members of the fire insurance
patrol barely escaped the tumhling
bricks and timbers. Two others were
pinned fast, but after strenuous efforts
were extricated The legs of both
were severely bruised Patrolmen A.
Jones and John Walsh are believed to
have been suffocated beneath the wall.
Nc trace of them was found up to late
hour.
The building was valued at S150, 900;
insured for one-half Keith & Son, pic
ture frames, and Harden's hand
grenade agency, suffer total loss; in
surance unknown.

Disastrous Blaze.

TRENTON, n. j., March 21.-Two ex-
plosions were heard in the quarter
master-general's Office on the first floor
OF the northwest corner of the State
House this morning. The explosions
were followed by flames that shot
through the windows. In ten minutes
the apartments were in ruins. The
flames followed a steam pipe to the
floor above, and quickly set fire to the
offices OF the clerk in chancery. From
these the confagration extended to the
geological museum on the third floor.
In this were many valuable State relics,
but the most valuable were sent to the
New Orleans exposition month ago.
The battle flags were rescued by the
fremen at the risk of their lives.
The sword and saddle of General
Kearney were destroyed. The fire then
moved back toward the dome and
looked as though the Supreme Court
room, the chancery court room and the
Legislative chambers would have to go.
The books and documents were removed
hastily from the offices of the comp
troller, State Treasurer and Secretary
OF State. The fire was finally checked

still playing on the ruins in order that
access may be had to the chancery
vaults where exceedingly valuable
papers relatingto thousands of estates
are kept. The vaults were not burned,
but they are believed to be full of water,
which will cause almost as much dam
age as fire. The loss will not fall below
100000. The part destroyed is the
facade of the original state house, built
in 1876.
Only the portion containing the
acknowledgements office and
chancery was destroyed. The other
departments were somewhat damaged
by water. The chancery and supreme
court rooms and the Senate and
assembly chambers remain intact. The
entire building was worth $500 900.
There was liberal insurance on the
structure.
The explosionsin the quartermaster's
room is tho ught to have been caused by
confined gas, which some way ignited.

Double Amputation.

a somewhat difficult case of surgery
occurred at the Sisters Hospital, on
Friday. DR.. Benedict performed an
operation upon a man named James
Thomas, of Ogden. for diseased ankle
joint. Two amputations were made at
one sitting. The man had an ampu-
tation performed some time ago, but
the flaps had never healed, and the
latest operation. necessitated the taking
out of two sections of bone, each two
inches long,. making four inches in all
by which means the Doctor was enabled
to remove portions of the two flaps so as
to get healthy tissues to cover the ends
of the bones. The patient was in good
condition yesterday, with fair prospects
of soon being about again.
