Recollections of the First cred Shirts

can distinctly remember the time when
every brave citizen looked with q mixed
feeling and curiosity upon any one OF whom
it was whispered that he was Socialist.
When elongated Hasselmann' sneaked III
every one felt cold chill run over him
This man considered matrimony an obso-
lete custom; he endeavored to remove all
capitalists from the face OF the ca, tn.
He entered noiselessly-he wore old and
wcrnout rubbers in winter and summer
and silently dropped into a corner, where
he hastily devoured his simple meal.
Silently he took his leave No one would
have suspected this quiet man to be the
red-handed Herr Hasselman, the Socialist
orator. In those days there were two
groups, the ''Intelligenzen' and the
.Schwieligen Faeuste." Our visitor be-
longed to the latter group.
There was the founder Of the party, La
Sale. Why did he this well-to-do youth,
follow this business? Because OF personal
vanity and desire to annoy society. And
his successor, afterward the comedy writer,
Herr Won Schweitzer2 A blase genius, who,
pulled the moon from the heavens to play
football with it. Oh, bah!
In the General Assembly Citizen Toelk
presided, who, instead OF using gavel, used
a mighty chilly with which he raped en-.
ergetically upon the table when he desired
to order And then the red book-binder,
Johannes, Most, who, in single evening g
address, demolished a number OF thrones OF
the old and new worlds with his tongue.
1 also remember what derisive laughter
was called forth when the first Socialist re-
eeived certificate OF election as a arepresen-
tative of the people. Half pity, half con-
tempt, moved every lip, and people regard
ed him as new elephant in q circus. And
now there are twenty-five Socialists in the
Reichstag, and there would be more OF them
if the seats were distributed in accordance
with the number of voters in the Kingdom.
Twenty two men QUITO 397 me .nbers OF the
Reichstag does not mean much, but still
this handful of men keep the rest Of the
body in an uproar.

A Bulgarian Heroine.

Previously to the outbreak OF hostiities
she Joined company OF militia-such COM
pani-s were then forming in various parts
of Bulgaria-and accompanied it to the
southern frontier in the hope OF there meet
ing with the.enemy. During some time she
mana ged to conceal her sex, for her COM
rades took her to bea youth with an effem-
mate face, of which there were many such
to be met with among the militia. Only
the commander OF her company knew her
secret; she was obliged to disclose it to him
when the company set out upon it's march,
and he appears to have Loyalty kept it to
himself. In all exercises. parades and re-
views she took part jointly with her male
comrades. At last when Servia declared
war against Bulgaria, the heroine took part
in the forced march into Servia, fought at
the battle of Silvnitza, and joined in the
attack upon Prot. During the fight she
did all she could to encourage her COM
rades, and they, in return, unanimously
voted to her the company's medal for
bravery. When, in consequence OF the war
coming to an end, the militia was dispersed,
she went to Sofia, and there was presented
to Prince Alexander, who awarded to her a
second decoration for bravery. She
then returned to Widin, her place OF domi-
cile before the war, where she acts as ser
want to an old lady. She says that should
| the Servians begin another war she will
again fight against them, but in her woman 4
attire, for it is not worth ones while to
change ones dress for such an enemy.

How Some of the Best Society Women Arc
Up Betimes to Go Marketing.
Washington letter in the Globe Democrat.
A place where all the world meets is at
the market, and on Tuesdays, Thursdays,
and more especially Saturdays, all the
world is there. While waiting for the roasts
to be skewered and the chops ''frenched,"
the matrons have q chance for a stray
word with their friends; and notices OF
charitable meetings and other important
communications are quite regularly keptto
be given during the market hour. The
women who shone most by dresses and
diamonds at an evenings entertainment
are to be met at the market:house the fol-
lowing morning intent on provisioning their
houses. Mrs. Blaine was always a regular
patron of the large market, and her eagle eye
was never to be misled by any tricks or false
appearances. Other ladies OF equal emf
nence are still net there, and Mrs. John
Davis, Mrs. Curtin, Mrs. Sheridan and
quorum of Senators wives are regularly
to be encountered before the stalls OF the
butchers, fish and game men.
The attractions of the market here are
the numerous florists stands, where cut
flowers are piled in fragrant heaps, grouped
in Jugs and sold for song, and the ladies
can never resist their attractions. 1t has
passed into standing joke in some fami-
lies for pater-familias to cast rueful glance
at a cluster OF fresh flowers on the dinner
table, and, il the floral display be especially
attractive, to declare that they know the
dinner is going to be short OF something
to make up for the heavy purchase of flow
ers. Men have not reached the stage where
they can dine on jack roses.

italian Laborers Roasted.

BRADFORD. Penn, April 24,-Thirty
italian laborers in the employ OF the Erie
Railroad have been occupying one OF the
company's construction shanties at Mount
Alton, fifteen miles south of here. The
building has been in disuse for some time
and the wooden underpinning was weak.
Twenty men slept in the little loft and the
remainder on the first floor, which was ele-
waited above ground four feet. During the
night one OF the posts on which the struc-
ture stood gave way and at O'Clock
this morning the shanty slipped of and
collapsed. The men were thrown into
heap, and those who escaped made their
way out with great difficulty. In few
minutes the wreck took fire from q lantern
and the walls, being largely composed OF
tarred paper, blazed fiercly. The shouts
of those who had escaped and
the screams of others who were penned
in the blazing pile aroused the village.
There being no fire department nothing
could be done except from the bucket brl-
pade, which was not OF the slightest use
The cries of agony of the roasting unfortu'
mates grew fainter and fainter, and in a
short time the fire had spent itself. The
six charred corpses could only be identified
only by bits of clothing, and were taken
out.
THE NAMES OF DEAD
are Andrew Petrela, Felclew Eatta, Bomi
nico Colerco, .Soppota Guineua, Frank
Grace and Charles Grace. Two men sui
fered serious injury from being struck by
falling timber, butit is believed that they
will recover. The dead men had sums rang
ing from 81, 900 to $500 about their per
sons, which they were about to send tt
their families in Italy. The Italians hat
been living in box cars but chose tn
building against the advice of those wht
| had pronounced it unsafe.

CHICAGO, April 24-There was a remark
able scene tonight during the performance
of the opera OF Lucia de Lammermoor, :"
at the Grand Opera House, by the Milan
Grand Italian Opera Company. The
audience was miserably small and very
apathetic, and the singers were thoroughly
discouraged at their failure to draw during

were preparing to ait through the last
act and were nonchalantly watching
the left wing for the appearance OF Lucia,
They watched in vain. The chorus stood
in mute amazement and the musicians in
the orchestra pit grinned. The audience
stamped their feet aud clapped their hands,
while the gallery Kissed repeatedly. The
curtain was rung down and there was a
wait for a few minutes and finally Senor

that Miss Eva Cummings, who was singing
