A Roman Catholic Instsitute Burned.
BALTIMORE, Md, March 23.-Fire broke
out Friday in one of the buildingsof the St.
Joseph's academy at Emmittsburg The
weather was bitter cold, the water froze as
it fell on the building, aud the wind was
blowing fiercely. 1t looked for a time as if
the whole institution, which consists Of
about a dozen buildings, would be swept
away, but the wind was fortunately
from the southwest and the fire was
confined to two buildings. The fire started
in the kitchen, which is one-story
building next to the refractory and very
near the main class rooms. The lay sisters
who were about made the best efforts they
could to subdue the flames, but their ef-
forts were of no USE The alarm was
given throughout the town and soon
there were hundreds of people on
the spot. Assistance was summoned
from Frederick, and by 8 o'clock Saturday
afternoon the fire was under control The
dormitories used by the sisters were de-
stroyed. The total loss will be S25, ,O0O No
one was injured.

A CAPITOL IN RUINS.
EXPLOSION AND FIRE DESTROYS THE
NEW JERSEY STATE HOUSE.
The Geological Museum, 0uartermaster's
Office, and Chancery Office De-
stroyed-Costly Blazes in BOs-
ten and Elsewhore.

TRENTON, N. j., March 22-Two explo.
sions were heard in the quartermaster gem
erals Office, ON the first floor, at a nook in
the west corner of tho state house, at 3
o'clock Saturday morning The explosions
were followed by flames, that shot through
the windows. IN ten minutes the apart
ments were in ruins. The flames followed
the steam-pipes to the floor above, and
quickly set fire to the offices of the clerk in
chancery, From there the conhagration ex-
tended to the geological museum on the third
floor. In this were many valuable state rel
les, but the most valuable had fortunately
been sent to the New Orleans exposition a
month ago. The battle flags were rescued
by the firemen at the risk of their lives. The
sword and saddle of Gen. Kearney were de-
stroyed. The fire then moved back toward
the DOME and it looked as though the su-
preme courtroom, chancery courtroom,
and legislative chambers would have to go.
The books and documents were removed
hastily from the Office of the comptroller,
state treasurer, and secretary of state The
fire was finally checked by about z O'Clock,
although the engines arc still playing on the
ruins, i'll order that access may be had to
chancery vaults, were exceedingly valuable
papers relating to thousands of e>tates are
kept. The vaults arc not burned, but
are believed to be full of water, which will
cause almost as much damage as the fire.
The loss will not fall below 100000. The
part destroyed is facade of the original state
house built in l795. Only the museum,
quartermaster generals office, and the
chancery Office completely destroyed.
The other departments are somewhat dam
aged by water. The chancery and Supreme
court rooms and senate and assembly cham
bers remain intact The entire building is
worth S50O,0OO. There is liberal insurance
on the structure.
The explosion in the quartermaster's
room, it is thought was caused by confined
gas which in some way ignited.

Newspapers Under Discussion.


WASHINGTON CITY, March 23.--During
the past week the executive sessions Of the
| senate have been largely devoted to consid
erin.g tie most feasible plan of preventing
the publication of executive secrets, and dur
iG- Fridays session the subject was hotly
discussed. Some senator's favored making
t :: penal oIense fny any newspaper to pub
lsl the proceedings of executive sessions,
aHi some took the ground that it would
probably be better to exclude from the priv
ieges of the rep0rter,' gallery of the senate
representatives Of all journals which should
publish such matters All sorts Of theories
were entertained and EXPIRE 'Sed by the SEN
4t0rS a. TO how CORES DDndents obtain suffi
ciaut Information upon wnich to accurately
report the action of the senate during excu-
tive sessions. Some went 50 far as to assert
heir belief that some person entitled to be
present. at executive sessions had been en-
aolv - i've & luxurious life at the expense
Of Il2 press, in consideration Of services
rGEl,Tei III this direction. Said one senator
n conversation on this subject: "Why, if
+ is possible, the reports of secret sessions
are more correct il some instances than the
-,:2rets of opan sessions made by the official
steEo1ca pher." Another senator said that
there were. he believed, sufficient votes in
the senate TO pass a law making the publ
ca ton OF executive sessions by newspapers
penal ofiense.
Tie discussion was concluded Satur-
DAY by the adoption of q
re :oluton prepared by the committee
On rules and submitted by Frye. The rsso-
luton extends the junction of secrecy to each
step n the consideration of Treaties inclua-
ing the fact Of ratification, and provides

Tho Trade Dollar.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 23.-The reso
luton of Senator Mitchell, introduced in the
senate looking to an inquiry on the subject
of trade dollars, is preceded by a number OF
preambleS, which set forth the history of the
coin and the legislation upon it, showing
that there have been coined 80, 900, 900 Of
them; that their coinage was ordered
to 10 suspended Oct. Is, 1877, although
5,4S,9G0 were coined subsequently; that of
this number 4, 259 900 bore date of 1878; that
the house OF representatives passed a bill
June 10, 1882, retiring the trade dollars and
providing for their recoinage into standard
dollars, regarding the trade dollars as
bullion when redeemed, and deducting the
amount from u part of the monthly coinage,
cut notwithstanding the appeals
Of huSin, SIS mon, the senate failed
t. pass the bill, and they
were practically forced from circulation by
q general refusal to accept them; that those
holding these coins are now deprived Of

years; that on April l. 1854, the house again
passed the retirement bill and it again

Cor Chicago Herald
New York is being crowded with mil
lionairism. Five of the men SO enor-
mously enriched by Nevada mining are
here now, or have been recently. Fam
lilies whose fortunes are permanently
enlarged come to the metropolis to live
luxuriously. Square miles of residences,
each representing, on the average, a
yearly expenditure of $25, 900 for main
tenance, aside from whatever special
and personal extravagances the inmates
may indulge in, make an aggregate OF
capital dazzling to contemplate. Year
by year the amount of money withdrawn
from active use in bnsiess grows inn
mensely, and the number of rich idiers
increases proportionately. Among all
the young sons of the Astors and Van
derbilt's there is not one who has an ac-
tive pursuit save that of pleasure, and
mention these names because they are
familiar, and not for exceptionally.
Go into tho evening resorts of time-kil
lers and you will at every turn meet
fellows who do absolutely nothing use
full from the beginning of year to its
end. They are the heirs of dead and
gone workers. They are destitute of
manly pride, but full of the foolish van
tiles of dandyism. Vicious, also?
Naturally. Their extravagances in
that direction are just now remarkable.
1t has suddenly become the fashion
among them to keep bachelor apart
ments, no matter how adequate to all
rational requirements their family

dozen or more magnificent buildings
have been erected on the French flat

are included. Suits of two or four
rooms are rented at 81 900 to SIS, QUO per

by the tenant, who is very often rich

MINORITY Presidents.

An ingenious compilation has recent
" been made, from which it appears
that Presidential elections are not I'M
frequently decided by two votes out of
each 100. For the last sixty years it
appears that not less than seven Presi-
dents have been elected by a minority
of the voters, represented however, by
a majority of the electors. These
Presidents were: Adams in 1924, Polk
in 1874, Taylor in 184S, Buchanan in
1856, Lincoln in 1860, Hays in 1876,
and Garfield in 1880. In 1924 Adams
had only 20.92 per cent. of the votes,
and as no candidate was chosen the
President was elected by the House.
In 1914 Polk had 9.55 per cent of the
votes, Clay AZ. IA and Birney 2.21. A
difference of per cent. determined the
issue. In 184S Taylor had 47.36 pei
cent, Cass 42.5, and Van Buren, 10.14
per cent. Eight years later Buchanan
became President, having received 40. "a
per cent. of the votes, while Fremont
had 33.09 and Fillmore 21.57. Lincoln
in 1860 had 1891 per cent. of the votes,
Douglas 29.4. Breckenridge 1903,
Bell 1851. Hayes had only 47.95 per
cent. and Tilden 5O.94. Garfield had
As .26, Hancock 1925. and Weaver 1888.
The highest percentage of votes ever
received by any successful Presidential
candidate was in 1928 when Jackson
had 55.97 per cent. Which ever of the
present existing leading Presidential
candidates shall succeed in securing 2
per cent. in hundred more than his
opponent will therefore be elected
The significance of each individual vote
can well be appreciated by survey Of
these figures

Gamblers Wives at Watering
Places,

Long Branch Letter to San Francisco Call
Gamblers wives were less snowy this
than other seasons at Long Branch,
fact due to the lack of fresh victims to
the husbands gaming bats. The ups
and downs of a gamblers life show
more readily ia his wife's personal
adornment than any other way. As a
rule, when the gambler goes under his
wife's diamonds are Immediately pawn
ed /; then follows her driving establish
ment, if she has any; finally her valu-
able furs and silverware, and not I'M
frequently her best silk or velvet dress
es, the parting with all of which she
stands bravely, hopeful of forthcoming
streak of luck to replenish her jewel
case, wardrobe and house to a more gor-
geous extent than before. Gamblers
wives are usually very pretty. stylish
women, some CT whom are cultured per-
sons, who avoid all reference to the
pursuits of their ambitious spouses, in
company or on any occasion, while 9TH
ers seem to glory in boasting of their
husbands winnings. The wife of a very
successful gambler from Arkansas, reg
istered at the Ocean house here, is a
very handsome brunette, thoroughly re-
fined in manner and appearance. She
wears no fashy jewelrv nor carries
prize canine. yet she has proven herself
a genuine lady and won the respect of
all who formed her agreeable acquaint
anee. I asked her one day if she did
not regret her husbands calling, where

Kules for Winter.

The following rules, published in
Farm and Fireside, are worth needing
by those who believe that "an ounce
of prevention is worth pound of
cure"
Never lean with the back upon any
thing that is cold. Never begin a
Journey until the breakfast has been
eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then I'M
mediately go out in the cold air.
Keep the back-especially between
the shoulder blades-well covered; also
the chest well protected. In sleeping
in a cold room, establish the habit of
breathing through the nose, and never
with the mouth open.
Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet.
Never omit regular bathing, for unless
the skin is in active condition the cold
will close the pores. and favor congestion
or other diseases.
After exercise of any kind never ride
in an open carriage, or near the window
of car for moment; it is dangerous
to health and even to life.
When hoarse, speak as little as posi-
bic until the hoarseness is recovered
from, else the voice may be permanent
" lost, or difficulties of the throat be
produced.
Merely warm the back by fire,
and never continue keeping the back
exposed to heat after it has become COM
fortably warm. To do otherwise is de-
bilitating.
When going from warm atmosphere
into colder one, keep the mouth closed
so that the air may be warmed by its
passage through the nose, ere it reaches
the lungs.
Never stand still in cold weather, es-
pecially after having taken a slight de-
gree of exercise; and always avoid stand
ing on ice or snow, or where the person
is exposed to a cold wind.
