ARE in building houses and the arrange
ment Of fiues, as well as In disposing OF
hot Goals aud ashes. The loss OF millions
of dollars and scores of lives is owing
to sheer carelessness. The mechanic
who would construct defective tue
deserves TO be punished severely. No
excuse can palliate such negligence.
The bricklayer and the plumber need
to be more carefully looked after and
held toa stricter account for their work
manship. If such negligence as has
been exhibited in the past cannot be
remedied there is little use for the con-
tinuanee of the Office Of Building In
spector. Defects in construction as
well as the kind of material used,
should be closely looked after and cor
rected. Means of escape in case of con-
tiagration should also be provided. 1t
seems singular, however, that in thick
ly settled districts, fire should pro-
gress 81 far before discovery as ~ in
volve a whole dwelling.
The loss Of life at the burning of Mr..
Kings house, in Philadelphia, seems te
have been caused by sheer carelessness
1t is really singular that after an alarm
had been given and the flames had beer
eAtinguished, that the family should
retire and sleep 30 soundly until nea
six o'clock in the morning, rs To b
entirely oblivious of the destruction
that was going stealthily on in the cellar
Human weakness, however, is pro
verbal. OF this we have evidence OF
every side. witbstanding the mos
forcible admonitions, men press ON t
ruin and death. 1t has been 50 fror
the beginning, aud it will be so TO tn
end of time. AS faithful chronicler,
however, we discharge oar duty b
exhorting all to greater carefulness i
the discharge Of their duties and tn
management of their affairs.

One ofthose Queer "Creeters."

Winchester, Va, Special:-In the Hugh
Merritt habeas corpus case here, Tor the
recovery Of his thirteen-year daughter,
it became necessary for the physician to
give evidence as to the masculinity OF Miss
Leila Payne, a sister of Lawrence Register
Payne, the man-woman of Virginia. The
Judge decided that the examination
should be made with closed doors. 1t
is reported that the physician testified
that he found Leila to be OF masculine gen
der. Mr.. Merritt, who lives at Bellaire,
Ohio, claims that Leila is not proper
person to care for Bessie. his thirteen-H ear
old daughter. Mr.. Merritt's first wife was
a Miss Payne. The argument will be con
tinued. Two years ago the story OF Vir
ginia s man-woman was first published
and caused much gossip. The Payne fami
ly is one OF the oldest in the Shenan-
doah valley, and when the parents
died. Leila, because OF her mascu
line proclivities, assumed charge Of
affairs. She induced the government to
make the hamlet postoffice, and she was
appointed postmistress. She opened a
grocery and hired Miss Sarah Hinton to
run it, and Miss Payne slept with her.
One day Lydia proposed marriage to Miss
Hinton. A physician confirmed Lydia's
suspicion that she was a man. They were
married. The young lady involved in the
present case is Il sister OF this man. The
change began in both when they entered
their teens and has been gradual trans.
formation.

the best policy to follow was to place di-
rect tax upon the people to defray the ex.
penses OF the government. The innate sell
fishness OF the people, born OF their ignO
rance, would make the operation OF such
policy impossible until the arrival OF the
millennium. Mr.. Beecher, amid great ap-
plause and laughter. said that protection
was the ''iugglery OF the devil" That il
politicians were statesmen, protec.
tion would die natural death
in spite OF the devil; but politicians were
not statesmen, they were ''vote-mongers. J"
Mr.. Beecher spoke in most uncomplimenu-
ary language of custom houses, and said
he believed from personal observation that
if there was such n thing as a proiane oath
it could invariably be found in the courts
and custom houses. Quoting the secretary
OF the National Labor organization, Mr..
Beecher aid there were now in this coun-
try "a million oflaborers unemployed. After
referring to the rivalry among capitalists
in developing and reaping the profits in
newly discovered industries, which resulted
in inevitable over-production and the ulti-
mate effect OF throwing laborers again out
of work, Mr.. Beecher remarked that there
was no tariff on men, and wondered il the
Protectionists were thinking Of bettering
the situation by placing tariff on import
ed pauper labor.
HIS was intensely amusing TO bne auul-
ence, andits suppressed laughter increased
to a roar when the speaker remarked:
This country was a large exporter "of
religion" This country sent millions OF
dollars to heathen countries to instill the
principles Of Christianity into the minds OF
unbelievers, while the article went begging
at home. This country was liberal in ex-
porting religion for the benefit OF the hea-
then, bnt when those benighted individuals
came to this country, to be nearer to the
fountain-head Of such teaching, they were
met with stones and curses, and only al
lowed to remain at the peril of their lives.
Though Mr.. Beecher's short address
abounded in cutting sarcasms and witty
figures he clo5,d in an earnest and impress
sive vein, with old arguments in dress SO
new and attractive that his audience listen
ed with the most strained attention. The
speakers closing words were a tribute to the
liberty that had founded the government,
that had freed the slave, and which would
remove every bar to its commercial grand
nnr

be the discovery OF the bones of at least
three persons under the smoke house OF a

Samuel Kirkley, who was dishonorably
discharged from the army some months
ago, has been running a. disreputable resort
called the Hog Ranch near the fort, at

the Hog Ranch" and calling Kirkley to

Ottawa Special: Riel has been respited
until the 10th inst. Preparations are al
ready being made for his execution on that
date, although the warrant has not yet
arrived. 1t is generally believed in official
circles here that the further respite to Riel
ha been given t. enable the condemned
