He then said he would get even with
me. l left and went down on to Com

The issue is simple question
of whether we are to have a govern
ment for the many, according to DEM
ocratic principles, or whether it is to
be government of a favored few, ac-
cording to the Republican idea. 1t
ought not to take workingman long
to make up his mind on which side
of this question he will align himself.
-[St. Paul Globe, Dem.
1t may be possible that Russia may
be calculating that in view of Aus
trials helplessness, the occasion of the
death of Emperor William might be a
good time to make another dash at
the Balkins. 1t matters little to us.
War would create q temporary de-
mand for our food products, but, as a
rule, no one benefits in the long run
by the destruction of life and prop.

New YORK, January 29.- In the
hospital for ruptured and crippled
at Lexington avenue and 42nd street,
there are 1853 crippled children under
treatment. This evening the younger
children were in bed, and the others
were preparing to retire. Two of the
older children started upstairs to go
to bed and on reaching the second
floor they were suddenly enveloped
in clouds of smoke. They hurried as
rapidly as possible to the third floor,
and found the nurse and told her that
the building was on fire. The alarm
was sent out as rapidly as possible,
and the doctor, nurse and police, as
well as number of citizens
and firemen, carried all the
children from the burning bull =
ing. When the fire had been ex-
tinguished the lifeless body of Mary
Donnelly, cook in the hospital, was
found in her room on the fifth floor,
where she had died from suffocation.
Ten year old Max Schwartz, who is
suffering from hip disease, tried to
carry out John A. Burke, little deaf
and dumb cripple, but the boy
was too heavy. He then dragged
him out to the hallway, where
he met policeman who carried both
boys down. During the fire Michael
Mccarthy, an elevator boy, was over
come by the smoke and fell into the
elevator pit. He was discovered there
by Jessie Stranger, a young waitress
in the hospital, who dragged him
out into the air where he revived.

Mr. LeIand,s Wonderful Well.

1t is not necessary fOr us to explain
all the tiresome details of how we be-
came possessed of little advertising
card issued by Mr.. Warren f. Leland,
Of this city. in the year 1899. 1t is
enough to reproduce some of the
features OF the card:
"In addition to the other accommo.
dations furnished at my hotel have,
in the office, fountain fed by an al
tesian we'll under the house. The
merits OF this we'll are too numerous
to mention. The brief space of this
card confines me to only a few Of the
con yeniences furnished by this won
derful well. They are as follows:
81. 1t affords a bountiful supply of
mineral water, which has been found
to possess such medicinal qualities
that no disease can withstand it. 1t
is pronounced by scientists the very
fountain of eternal youth that the late
Mr.. P. D. Leon failed to find.
"2. 1t furnishes superior quality
of natural gas which, when used as
an illuminant, can not be blown out
even b. gentlemen from st. Louis;
and, when used for culinary purposes,
imparts a delicious flavor to the
viands.
"3. 1t pours forth a rich black ink
which does not gum. and yet is black
when put upon the paper. This ink
does not corrode steel pens. 1t will
be great boon to the travelling pub
lie to know that in the writing room
OF one i.otel in the world there are
good pens and ink.
"4. 1t spurts up a pleasing aro-
matte spray which keeps my clerks
good-natured and ever ready politely
to tell my patrons when the next train
goes out, how far it goes, how much it
costs, who is the conductor, and how
much salary the brakeman gets.
"5. 1t juts up column of natural
steam from the bowels of the earth,
and furnishes power to keep the ele
vator going all night. This steam
also supplies each room with Turkish
bath con> eniences, and blows an
alarm whistle which is set by the
lodger himself, and can not be so
meddled with by the night clerk as
to cause a patron to miss his train.

conveniences this wonderful well bub-
bles up steady stream OF very active
and intelligent call-boys, porters,
chambermaids and table-waiters. AS
these all come in an inexhaustible
volume from the earth, they are fur
nished gratis to any patron, and are a
great improvement over those COM
monly.employed mechanical arrange
ments into which one has to drop a
coin before they will weigh him or
bring him his breakfast or fetch him
a towel.

good for two runs. Donovan stole second

several wild pitches and a passed bail,
the G. & M's. ran up their string to
nine runs before they were relieved.

There was much in the career of OK
Secretary Manning that was typical
of the best side of American life. He
began as a poor boy, sweeping tho
floor and doing errands in an Albany
newspaper office. Working his way
up by industry and prudence. he be-
came the head of the establishments
and its principal proprietor, besides
occupying many positions Of trust
and honor in the community. He be-
came leader in his party, q maker of
Governors and Of one President, ana
was eventually made head Of the Trear
sury Department, the most powerful
Office under the government after thak
of the President himself. There is much
in his story from which the younf,
who have no capital but their hand
may take courage.-[New York III

WASHINGTON, January 29.-Senators
Kenna and Platt are understood to
contemplate the delivery of speeches
on the tariff and surplus during the
week. The urgent deficiency appro-
priation will be reported to the House
at the beginning of the week, and its
consideration will consume a day or
two. Wilkins National Bank Bill
stands first in the order of unfinished
business, but unless its author RECEIVERS
from his illness in time to give it at
tention, it will give place to the reso-
luton assigning an unlimited period
of time for the consideration of large
number of bills for the erection of
public buildings. This proposition
will be vigorously opposed by small
minority, and if not disposed of by
Thursday, will then be sent back
again to the calendar, as the elections
committee intends to call up Lowry
as. White, the Indiana election
case on Thursday, which will possibly
consume the remainder of the week.
The Pension Appropriation bill, which
is privileged matter, may be called
up for action during the week, and
the Committee on Foreign Affairs will
make an effort to pass the French
Exposition bill, if opportunity offers.
BLAIR's BILL DUE TODAY.
The Education bill remains, as for
three weeks past, the unfinished bust
ness of the Senate for tomorrow, and
Senator Morgan has the floor for a
speech on it. 1t is likely to give place
temporarily tomorrow or Tuesday
to aHouse bill making appropriations
tor agricultural experiment stations.
If the Education bill is brought to
vote before the end of the week it
will probably be succeeded by the
differentiation or Dependent Pension
bill.
TEMPERANCE TOPICS.
The House Committee on alcoholic
liquor traffic has instructed it's chair
man, Representative Campbell, Of
Ohio, to call the Speakers attention
to the fact that thes bills relating to
the liquor business have been retired
to the Committees on Judiciary, Ways
and Means, and the District of Colum-
bia, instead of the Committee on
alcoholic liquor traffic, which commit
tee it is contended properly has juris-
diction of the bills efecting the liquor
question. On the 9th of February the
Comittee will give hear
ing to a delegation from
the National Temperance Alliance on
the bill to create commission to in
quire into the liquor traffic. Repre-
sentative Campbell said tonight that
while he would not speak for the COM
mission, he personally was not in
favor of prohibition. He continued:
"You cannot, make men temperate by
statute. A direct license law will
prove effective. 1t will stop the sale
of liquor to minors and drunken men.

Franklin county, was visited by ter
rible fire this morning which was first
discovered in the crockery store of Nc
Fuller, situated in the Empire or How
ard House block, and was soon under
full headway. Owing to the hydrai ts
being frozen no water could be OBJ
tanned from them, and a long delay
was caused from the fact that connec-
tions had to be made at the river and
the water forced up by steamers.
Meanwhile the fire had completely
gutted the above store and communi-
Gated to the Howard House, and was
under good headway when the water
was ready to pour on the flames. Dur
ing the burning OF the house an ex-
plosion, presumably of gas, occurred,
blowing out portions of brick wall
and killing Isaac Chester. promi-
nent business man of Malone, who was
coming out of the bank, and injuring
several others.
The whole Empire block, including
the hotel and opera-house, and all the
stores in the block, were completely
destroyed.
