were brought to play on the fire, but the
heavy, black volumes of snoke drove the
engineers back. They fought the flames
step by step, but were at last forced to
drop the hose and save themselves. The
fire burned with frightful rapidity, and
in less time than it takes to tell it, the
entire left side of the boat was a mass of
flames. The fire soon caught the railing
of the cabin deck, and before assistance
was to be had the boat looked as if
she were encircled by stream of fire.
The cracking of the flames and the
shrieks of the passengers and crew caus-
ed the most intense excitement. When
the alarm was first sounded Alex. McVay,
the head clerk, was sitting at the stove in
his cabin. The first peal of the bell caus-
ed him to rush outside, and seeing the
flames leap high in the air he ran back to
the cabin and endeavored to get the
books and money. The fire gained rap
idly on him and he was compelled to leave
the office, but not before he had secured
a sum of money from the safe. McVay
then turned his attention to

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE invitations to
the clergymen of Chicago to witness the
performance of Rubinstein's BAL Cos
tune" by the corps de ballet of the Amer
lean Opera company, were mailed yester-
day. A majority of the clergymen ex-
press their condemnation of the ballet
and their intention of declining the invi-
tation. large majority, however, say
that they have not decided what 20 do
about it. Two or three Presbyterian
ministers are rather inclined to "go and
see what it is like" The Methodist
c!ergymen were the most emphatic in
their denunciations, and a number of
them intimated that the reasons for send

THEIR NATIONALITY.

1t seems to DE clear that not one
Irishuan was engaged in the riots
on the side of the rioters in Chicago
while every man killed or hurt by
the rioters was an Irishman. The
Chicago Tribune says:
Aug. Spies, the chief of the
Anarchists, is Hesslan.
Fielden, the most rabid spouter
to Sunday crowds, is an English
man.
Parsons, probably the biggest
scoundrel of the lot is an American
born Southern ex-rebel, son of the
Confederate chief, General Par
sons.
But the Schwabs-the fellow in
New York and the fellow here-are
Germans. 4 riffaif of smaller
leaders are Bohemians and Ger
mans. with here and there a Dane
or Pole, and one old fellow. calling
himself a doctor is an American,
but no Irishman figures among the
would-be subverters OF American
civilization. The Irish have sins
enough of their own to account for,
but of the blacklist of all, Anarch-
ism. they are not guilty.
Germany and France have forbid
den the importation Of American
hogs. 1t Is time for the United
States to reciprocate. 1t is quite
time that the landing of dangerous
from Europe should
be stopped. We have had enough
of Europe's asylums, warehouses
and prisons.

Several months, ago a scandal was
developed at Alturis respecting
Superior Judge Harris, of Modoc
county, California. 1t was stated in
the local papers that he had tried
to kill his wife, in a drunken rage,
and that she accused him of main
tanning criminal intimacy with
girl named Nellie Boxall. Public
indignation was reused, and his res
ignation was demanded. But he
continues to hold the Office of
Judge. He recently circulated a
pamphlet entitled L'Eclairisse-
ment, in which he makes some bit
ter reflections upon the character
of the Boxall girl. She, has in re-
ply. published a sworn statement.
confessing that criminal relations
long existed between them. Meet

other day, she slapped his face. II

published about this affair, Harris

When Herald is On His Back Bleeding Al Mouth
and NOss--Tommy Warren Gets the
Psathsrwsght Championship.

BALTIMORE, November s.-Fully ., 500
people brayed the cold to-day and jour-
neyed five miles to see Jack Kilrain and
Frank Herald spar at Herring Run race
track. The ring was pitched on the trank
directly in front of the judges stand.
The two men were in splendid form, Her
aid stripping at 176 and Kilrain at $50
pounds. When time was called Kilrain
at once began to work on the
offensive, and after a few moments
sparring, got in three wicked
blows upon his opponents face in rapid
succession, each bringing blood. Herald
then made one of is furious rushes, but
Kilrain dodged him cleverly and they
clinched, but in breaking away Kilrain,
by a quick movement, landed Herald
squarely on his back in the corner, where
he lay bleeding from mouth and nose and
painting heavily, when the police rushed
through the ropes and stopped thefight. Kill
rain was not touched, while Herald received
a cut on his upper lip and another on his
nose. The short work and the two ounce
gloves used showed conclusiyely that both
men meant business and that instead of
wanting scientific points they wanted to
see which was the best slugger. The
principals were at once hustled off to the
club house and the crowd dispersed
There was talk of the fight being finished
