ed Performance.
MADRID, March 21.-During q banquet
scene in the theater at Oporto last night, at
which the galleries as well as the tables were
crowded, the theater caught FIRE and was en-
tirsly destroyed. Many of those inside per-
ished in the flames. Hundreds escaped with
their lives, but were more or less injured,
being burned or bruised. Eighty bodies have
been taken from the ruins. Most of those we're
burned in the third tier boxes and galleries
where whole families were suffocated. There
was terrific struggle at the doors when the
spectators tried to escape. Large numbers
were suffocated and trampled upon. Many
on reaching the street were so seriously in
jured that they vonaited blood. Nearly all
the victims were spectators. The actors es-
capped in their theatrical costumes. Many in
the theater finding themselves unable to
reach the doors jumped from the windows.
Some corpses were found in the stage boxes.
The gas was extinguished shortly after the
Ere broke out, thus adding to the confusion.

st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, March 21.-The Pan telephone
system is in this city and the recent decision
by the Supreme court has caused sone un-
easiness among subscribers. That feeling
was augmented to-day when several sub
scribers received a notice from the attorneys
of the Bell Telephone company demanding
that all others than the Bell instrument be
put out of service and they threaten to bring
suit. The officers Of the Pan company were
likewise nervous, but presented bold front
and meeting of the directors was held this
afternoon. Vice President Terry said the
Bell people made ne threats and it is thought
the case would be smicably adjusted. He did
not think they would interfere with their
subscribers. He declared the case was not
settled yet by long odds. Mr.. Terry, who is
prominent lawyer, is at the head of the Pan
telephone here and says there will be no re-
treating in the face Of the enemy. He puts
great stress on the fact that the court decided
the question by majority of only one and
that Justice Lamar did not sit in the case,

G. GEORGETOWN More Than Doubles
ITS Population an Right Years.

A correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun who is now travelling over the
lower Peninsula writes as follows:
Georgetown, in 1880, had no in
habitants. In 1887 the number was,
1.000. The locating here of the @. II.
Treat and the Sussex Manufacturing
Companies increased the population.
The Treat Company have over 100 EN-.
ployes making peach baskets for the
coming crop. Articles Of veneer work,
including butter trays and plates, of
all shapes and sizes, are feature Of
the establishment, and plaques, toys
and novelties in wood are also turned
out in large quantities. The Susoex
Co. does everything in house wood
work from window sash to a whole
house ready for erection. Three can
ming establishments, fruit evaporator
and several smaller enterprises keep
the working population of Georgetown
pretty generally employed. Before
the absorption of the railroads the car
repair shops were here and were an
item in the industrial status of the
town.
1.-THE town was located in 1891, and
the county seat removed from Lewes
to afford more convenient place to
transact the county business. IL took
It's name from George Mitchell, one
Of the commissioners appointed to
locate it.
"St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal
Church is the oldest religious edifice,
and is interesting from the fact that il
was originally built in 1894 by money
raised by lottery authorized by the
Legislature, followed by another in
1905 to complete it. In 1927 another
lottery was authorized 10 raise n fund
OF $40, 900 TO build an academy and
masonic hall, and finish the Episcopal
Church. The Presbyterian and Metho-
dist Episcopal denominations have
churches here, and the Catholics hold
service occasionally in the court house.
"The town is laid Off in wide, beau
tiful shaded streets running at right
angles, and has parked square in the
centre, upon which the court house,
the Eagle and Brick hotels front. The
private and business houses az a rule
are pretty in design and finish, and the
whole town indicates a successful com.
munity. The Sussex journal, editor
McKendree Downham, and the Della
ware Democ at, editor e. p, Paynter,
are neat and newsy weekly journals. ;

Talks ON tho Tariff

The following, taken from the Iron
Age, makes tariff talk that is full Of
meat:
20. When was the first steel rail
rolled in America? A. In Chicago, H.,
A. ID. 1865.
80, Where were some OF the earlier
steel mills located? A. At Troy, N. X,
Harrisburg, Pa, and Newburg (Cleve-
land, Ohio.
20. What gave the first stimulus to
steel rail manufacture in this country
A. The enactment by Congress, in
1870, Of q duty of $29 per ton.
20, What has been the result OF this
policy Of protection upon the growth
of the American steel industry? A.
From one BesseIner steel works in 1867,
the number has intreased to thirty
eight at present. From 2,679 tons Of
Bessener steel ingots produced ia 1867,
the total production increased to
29S6,033 tons in 1887. From 2,977
tons Of steel rails rolled in 1867, the
total production increased to 2,1O1, 9O4
tons in 1887.
% But what about prices under
protected industryG A. In 1857 the av-
erage price OF steel rails was $166, ia
1885 it was $3.50, and in 1887 il was
S3118,
20. Did the tariff remain at SOS all
of this time? A. No. August /, 1872. it
was reduced to $3.50; March 3. 1875.
it was restored to $2s; July /, 1888, it
was reduced to $l7, where it still re.
mains.
20. What has been the cause OF this
steady decline in pricesi A. Partly the
reduced cost, owing to improvements
in manufacture, aud partly vigorous
home competition. The history Of
prices for the past twenty years shows
that whenever, for any cause, there
has been a scarcity OF American steel
rails Great Britain has taken advantage
of our necessities and put up her prices.
20 What has been the result OF the
introduction of steel rails upon rail-
road building in the United statess A.
When cur dependence was wholly or
chiefly upon iron rails we built rail-
roads very slowly. Before this coun-
try began 70 make steel rails in 1867
our railroad mileage aggregated less
than 10000 miAes now it is over 15O,-
600 miles.
20. What has been the effect upon
cheapening transportation? A. In 1868
it cost "a "a cents to transport bushel
Of wheat from Chicago to New York
by lake aud canal; 30 cents by lake
rail. and AZ 6 cents by all rail. In
1887 ;he cost by lake and canal was
S.2l cents: hv lake aud rail ~ cents.
and rs raj l6 cents.
&c Is this any advantage to the
laborirg ma! 4. Certainly. Il 1870.

. sEooDrHgRsry AUDIENCE.


Warde tells good story. 1t is,
suppose, a chestnut. never heard a
theatrical story that was not. VIVA.
proves it to be an old one is that Warde
names the place it occurred in. He
was playing "Virginius" in some small
place. You will remember that Appius
Claudius' client, who does the dirty
work, comes on in the last act, has a
few words with Appius Claudius in
prison, and then goes off. That is the
last that is seen Of him in the play
When the curtain fell on this perform
ance of "Virginius" in this same place,
Warde retired to his dressing room
and proceeded to become the Fred
erick Warde of everyday life. The
manager came in.
"Mr Warde, the audience has not
gone"
"Well, can't help that. The play
ia done. There isn't any more of it 10
the book"
"But they don't CO."
"Turn down the footlights."
''No use. They won't stir. Won't
you 90 and speak to themg"
"Whatl Go and cell them the plays
over? Egad-I will. That will be a
funny experience"
Warde stepped in front Of the cur
tain; there the audience sat quite still,
Ladies' and gentlemen: The play ip

dead; am dead; Appius Claudius If

Scott's Ambition

Philadelphia North American.
1t is said that William L. Scott does not
want to stand for reelection 10 Congress,
and as his free trade theories are certain to
insure his defeat in his district. the report
is no doubt true. Mr.. Scott does not want
TO share Mr.. Morrison's fate. But the
rumor that Mr.. Scott expects to get a
place 10 this next CABINET If Mr. Cleveland
is reelected by carrying Pennsylvania for
the Democrats, is trihe doubtful IL Is
not likely that even with his free trade
views Mr.. Scott utterly lacks common
sense. He may be ambitious to become a
Cabinet officer, but be cannot hope to do so
BY carrying Pennsylvs mia. It is more pro-
bable that be bases his hope on the size OF
his contribution to the campaign fund.
When it comes to a question Of Doodle, Mr..
Scott is big enough man TO enter Presi-
dent Cleveland's Cabinet; but not after
March. 4, 1889 Mr. Cleveland will have
no cabinet then.

Allentown Public Building bill over
the Presidents veto, and in generally
opposing Cleveland measures. a great
many Of his party claim that during
the entire discussion of the tariff quss
in the House, when every member had
something to say or do, he never

SUPPOSE, for the sake OF argument,
that it is admitted that a protective
tariff is a tax, and TO avoid this tax all
protective duties are abolished, what
then follows? The expenses OF govern
ment must 90 on as usual, and taxes
must be levied to provide the funds
necessary TO run the machine. Now,
would you prefer q tax that brings
with it work and wages or a tax sys-
tenn that takes away your employment
and still demands of you in cash as
much as you have ever paid in theory

tee. The request was Immediately
granted. Tho public was not aware
that the condition was 50 serious in
Florida. It is certainly to be hoped
that the precautions will be successful.
When once it is started, a yellow fever
epidemic is a harvest OF death and dis.
aster. The great suffering in the
South few years ago will be wildly
recalled, and a repetition Of it would
be terrible affection.
