A HORRIBLE FATE.
Eleven Persons Perish in Il Burning
Hotel In Texas

RocKDAIE (Tex.), June 4th.-A most
horrible calamity has befallen Rockdale
This morning, about 4 O'Clock. the Men
dine Hotel, a three-story brick building
was found to be on fire and was quickly all
ablaze. Inside were thirteen persons, only
two of whom escaped alive
DR.. w. A. Brooks, the proprietor, was
pulled out of the burning building with
his hair and beard singed off, and other
wise badly burned, leaving behind him
his wife and four children, who perished.
Pemberton Pierce, representing the firm
OF George n. Seigler, of Philadelphia
jumped from the burning building and was
killed.
D. NJ. Oldham, of Dallas, escaped badly
singed.
The mystery about the whole thing is
that SO many could have perished, when
none were higher up than the second
story, and there were galleries and exits on
both sides of the building
No one was heard to call or scream, all
dying without cry for help, though
great crowd quickly gathered and ex
hausted every effort 10 afford a rescue. The
pecuniary loss is small.

How to Select a Wife.

Good health, good morals, good sense
and good temper, are the four essentials for
good wife. These are indispensibles.
After them come the minor advantages of
good looks. accomplishments, family posi-
ton, etc. With the first four, married life
will be comfortable and happy. Lacking
either, it will be in more or less degree a
failure. Upon good health depends largely
good temper and good looks, and to some
extent good sense also, as the best minds
must be affected more or less by the weak
nesses and whims attendant on frail health.
Young man, if your wife is falling into q
state of invalidism, first of all things try
to restore her health. If she is troubled
with debilitating female weaknesses, buy

Everything depends on the answer of Herr

until he has received this answer will the
Emperor decide whether to withhold or
not the promulgation of the law prolong-

The Court of Common Pleas recently
handed down a decision which deals with a
point Of law which interests everybody
who travels in sleeping cars. By this de-
cision it is settled that the railroad com
pany is responsible for money lost by pas
sengers while asleep, and that it is the
duty of either the conductor or porter to
be on guard constantly where they can see
the whole length of the car. The fact
that the porter goes forward to polish
shoes in another compartment is evidence
of negligence, and if money is stolen the
company must refund it to the passenger.
