FIRE IN A HOSPITAL.
Many Crippled Children in Danger
All Saved by Prompt Action.

There was fire the other evening in the
Hospital for Ruptured and Crippled Chill
dren, at Lexington avenue and Forty
second street, New York, which threat
ened to end in great loss of life The
calamity was averted by the courage and
GOODNESS of the doctors and nurses in charge
of the little cripples and the ready help given
by the police, firemen, and many citi-
zens attracted to the scene by the
fire. The 1S5 children were all
carried out in safety, and found shelter in a
hotel and in several private houses in the
neighborhood, whose occupants threw open
their doors and were proud to have the
privilege OF sheissring and caring for the
little unfortunates.
y The only casualty was the suffocation of Mary
Donnelly, the head cook of the hospital who,
when the fire broke out, was asleepin her room
on the top floor of the building, and who, ap-
parenty forgotten in the excitement, was
suffocated by the dense smoke which filled
the stairway, which vas her only means of
escape.

A Winnipeg lManitoba) dispatch says that
the latest reports from the mountains indi-
cate that there has been great loss Of life OH
the Canadian Pacific owing to snow slides.
Strong chinook winds have been prevailing
Donald to Glacier snow has been coming down
on the track in tremendous quantities. Near
Palliser station, British Columbia, several
men were caught in a slide. Only one was
dug out alive, and he was so badly bruised

read the opening chapter of "Hard Cash" knows it. And, for the hundredth ;. time or so, let it be said that the Princess of Wales wore the first jersey ever seen on a lady in England. She wore it at Sandown in 1879. A little tailor of no particular account was first struck with the capabilities of the gar ment, and sold the idea to the tailor of the Princess, and the style was reserved for her for month, during which London fairly ragged with curiosity, and then came the de- luge with advertisements, Du Maurier pie lures in Punch and the usual accompani- ments. Paris took up the fashion after season or two. and in the winter of 1880 all the leading houses imported jerseys and very gradually learned how to fit them. The kind worn by Mrs. Langtry is only teIerable when both figure and dressing beneath it are per feot.
 That the emancipation of the slaves in Brazil is not all that has been claimed for 1t is shown in letter to the Hartford Courant, a part of which is as follows: The slavery question has recently changed very material ly. It is still what is left of the saddest tragedy of human history, but lately it has had its comic side. Of course the govern ment is of the Buchanan type-pro-slavery to the core. They have been able, by some conjuring, to patch up the finances and keep exchange at Q figure much higher than the facts will justify. This gave their cause pres tige in commercial circles, but the abolition ists went quietly to work to put their under ground railroad i'll good running order, and the slaves disappeared, first by dozens, then by scores, then by ffties and hundreds. Government sent troops into the province to put stop to this wholesale running away of the goods and chattels. In the first nota- ble encounter the slaves came off victorious, putting the soldiers to flight and taking their horses In the next soldier was killed. One senator, seeing how the tide was turning, came squarely out in favor of abolition. It is not an uncommon thing to hear of body of slaves presenting themselves to the master, declaring their intentions of leaving and ask ing for provisions for the journey. There has been no violence except when attacked and in self defense. The fugitives scatter in every direction and go to work for any wages they can obtain, peaceably, quietly with their wives and children. Santos has become a city of refuge for the families. It is esti- mated that there are five thousand fugitive slaves in and about that city. It is the
 trapgest page in all the history of slavery.

BARRAREsM IN NEW YORK.

There is just now good deal of attention paid by philanthropic people in the East to the condition of the Indians in the West, but it appears that they needn't go so far away from home to deal with the Indian problem. It exists in our neighboring State of New York in shape whose description will prob ably surprise those who read it. There are eight Indian reservations in New York, which cover more than 125,000 acres of excellent land. The number of the Indians is increas- ing and the reservations are described as nests of uncontrolled vice, where wedlock is commonly treated with indifference, where superstition reigns supreme and where irn- pure ceremonies are practiced by pagans with an attendance of both sexes and all ages; where there is no law to protect one or pun ish another; where the prevailing social and industrial state is one of chronic barbarism, and where the English language is not known or spoken by the women and children, and by only part of the men.
 The Hon. A. S. Draper, superintendent of education for the State of New York, has been studying the situation. State schools are kept on reservations, hut the progress is uOb bsaels1oetOHY aAIA 11O su AAAIcAe1ono uAS0S that something more than these day schools are necessary. He is convinced that the h. dian has natural capacity for becoming an intelligent citizen, but the unwholesone sur rousdings on the reservations more than counterbalance the educational influences. To accomplish anything permanent the chil- dren must be separated from their old homes, where their parents are indifferent and gen. erallv a7erse to the education of the children. He says: The fact is, that this State has an t'Indian problem" upon it's hands of no small importance, and one which, being examined into, becomes decidedly interesting. The passage of what has come to be known as the "Dawes bill' in Congress, providing for the ultimate dissolution of the great tribes in the West, for the apportionment and conveyance of their lands to them in severalty, and for making citizens of them, ought to force seriously upon our attention the question whether it is not advisable that similar ac- tion should be taken concerning the remnant tribes in this State. I apprehend that no one cognizant of the facts will deny that some. thing, and something radical and effective, ought to be done.
 It seems strange that there should be such a condition of affairs in the civilized and Christian State of New York It ought to be, and perhaps will be, a good thing that attention has been called to it.

brics, one white or pale tinted, the other dark or bright hued.
 Coachman's drab and bright cherry red is a frequent combination in dressy house frocks and also in tea gowns.
 Theater toilets in New York are simply dressy street or visiting suits of silk, or silk and wool, worn under dressy, short wrap and with pretty evening bonnet. The high hat is losing ground for theater wear. Little low turbans and capotes with moderately high trimmings, regular" theater bonnets, are taking their place.
 The prettiest bali fans are of tulle, lace, net or crepe lisse with beautifully painted designs on them frightened with tinsel thread and spangles. The fan is always of the color of the ball dress.
 Opera fans are mostly of feathers, and os- trich feathers at that. But while these are preferred there are other lovely feather fans of the white, pink or gray feathers of the heron, the hamingo and the crane, with marabout feathers and aigrettes for the cen ters, and these fans are also decorated with tinsel.
 Pink dinners, pink teas and pink suppers are all the rage, and in fact so much so that this will long be remembered as the 'spink season." B. de V,
