READING, Pa, Jan. 24.-Last evening fire
entirely consumed the p;aning mill OF Reber,
Weinhold q Co., on the outskirts of the city.

tion. The flames communicated to the lum-
Der yard adjoining, which was also con-
sumed. Several employees of the mill jumped
out Of the second story windows and made
narrow escapes. Policeman James Hayden
was kicked and trampled upon by a fire
horse, and received probably fatal injuries
The total loss will probably foot up from
$4,000 to $4,000; partially insured.

PRERoGATIYE AND DUTY

Senator Daniels, of Virginia, in q speech
responding to the toast of "The Senate
this week, took occasion to say that when
passing upon the Presidents nominations
for Office, the Upper House does not infringe
upon his prerogatives or transcend its own
when it differs from him. That is very
true, but it does not at all relieve the SEN
ate from the necessity of having very good
reasons when it differs from the President
OF the subject of nominations.
The President does not transcend his pre-
rogative or infringe upon that of Congress
when he returns bills that have been passed
by the Legislative body, without his sigma
ture. But suppose the President should re-
turn bill that had been passed by Con-
gress with the information that he did So,
because he does not like it, or because it in
fringes upon some of his personal tastes, or
might do injury to some of his friends, we
imagine that if the President should run
the veto power on that principle, the Sena-
tors would indulge, not unjustly, in some
very vigorous denunciation.
The Senate does not infringe upon the
Presidential prerogative in rejecting nomi-
nations for trivial or selfish reasons, but it
does worse. 1t infringes upon the preroga-
tives of the people which require faithful
service; and it will be held responsible by
that sovereign power for the wrong done
to it.

depends greatly upon whether rain or sunshine

very white. but his voice was strong and he
seemed to be feeling well.

PINE BOUGHs IN HIS GRAVE.

An Open Coffin and Bed OF Pine Needles for
Jennie June's Husband.
NEW YORK, May 3.-David g. Croly, the
editor, who died on Tuesday, spent part of the
last two or three winters of his life at Lake
wood. and grew to love its pines so much that
he wished to be buried among them. 80 he
bought lot in Woodlawn Cemetery on the top
of Stone Hill, from which the ocean steam
ships may be seen as they set out or return.
And when he came to die he dictated to his
less or with his coffin open, 50 that his body
would be in close contact with boughs from the
pines he loved, with which he wished the grave
to be filled.
He was buried yesterday in accordance with
the instructions which he thus left in his
Widows handwriting. The body was taken to
Lakewood on the train which reaches there
shortly before IL A. N. 1t was accompanied by
Mrs. Croiy (Jennie June), her son Herbert and
two daughters Mr. and Mrs. w. l.. Ormsby
Jr., the last named of whom is Mr.. Croly's sis
ter. Mime. Domarest, and Clinton Sweet, pro-
prietor Of the Record and Guide, of which Mr..
Croly was editor.
Undertaken Westhall met the funeral party
at the station with a hearse and two carriages.
At the cemetery, a mile and half distant,
grave seven feet deep had been dug at the foot
of two tall pines. 1t was dug deeper than is
customary SO that bed Of pine needles might
reached the coffin, plain wooden one, was
taken out OF the box which enclosed 1t and
placed upon the stretchers which spanned the
grave. The lid was then removed and the coffin
was lowered into the grave. When this had
been done pine boughs were laid over the body
and across the sides of the coffin until the
dead man was covered several inches thick
with the sweet.smelling wood he had loved.
On top of the boughs the coffin lid was placed,
and the grave was filled with earth in the
ordinary way.

POOR PEOPLES PATRIOTISM.
IL Surpassed That of the Wealthy at tn

IL Surpassed That of the Wealthy at the
New York Centennial.
NEW YORK, May 3-The Evening Post has
the following editorial upon the contrast be.
tween the decoration in the rich and poor dis.
tricts during the celebration just ended; "The
recent celebration afforded a fresi instance of
the curious contrast always visible on such oc.
casions between the poorer and the richer
quarters of the city in point of lavish decora-
tion. All the meaner streets broke out in al.
most universal array while the fashionable
parts of the town made but comparatively
languid display of flag here and there. We
except the line Of professions; this, of course,
was decorated from end to end, But elsewhere
the rule prevailed, and the poorer people
dressed their streets with an expediture of
money and care not only relatively. but abso-
lutely greater than was thought fit for finer
neighborhoods.
Contrast, for example, the meager show of
the cross streets between Fourth and Sixth ave-
nues, with the region below Fourteenth street
and east of the B0wery. The east side was GOV.
cred with decorations, the whole expanse wav-
ing with flags and strips of gay color, often in
geniously combined and draped, though poor
enough in quality of texture while pictures of
Washington abounded in the windows. Scarce
any house or lodging was so poor as to be with
out some SCRAP Of ornament Indeed 1t seemed
that the poorer streets were brightest and the
dingiest of tenement houses outshone any of
of the great uptown apartment houses The
universality of the contrast which we have in
more so when one reflected that 1t was the dis
tricts where our foreign population chiefly live
which made SO great a show of patriotic senti-
ment, or at least of national feeling"

MODS AND ANARCHY,

The story of that tearing down of the
British flag by the Pittsburg troops being
denied, it only remains to say word or two
of the rights and wrongs involved in the
mobbing of the Chicago Anarchist who
hung out red flag on commemoration day
in Chicago. The fact that he was rescued
from serious injury at the hands of the mob
by the police is commented upon generally
as an indication of the virtue of the law.
The law did no more than its duty in such
a case. If it does not protect every citizen
equally from mob violence, the attacks of
the Anarchist upon us would have good
deal of foundation. 1t should be remem-
bered that mob violence toward man who
hangs out an obnoxious flag, though IN
spired by q higher motive and sentiment
than anarchy, is exactly the Anarchists
method. Whether mob violence is inspired
by the sentiment of attachment to the Con-
stitution or of hatred to it, the result is the
cause of destroying the protection that it
gives all citizens. Both Anarchists and
mobbers should reflect on this truth.

GERMANYs BACK DOWN.

All that comes from Berlin with regard
to the Samoan conference is hardly to be &C.
cepted as gospel. The report in yesterday Is
dispatches that the release of Malietoa will
be followed by his restoration as ruler of the
Samoan Islands, is more likely to be the
product of Imagination than founded on
any action of the conference. 1t is not
probable that Germany has so early in the
conference commenced to give away points.
Perhaps it may come later on, but it is
rather too soon to commence making pre-
dictions Of that sort.
Nevertheless the release of Malietoa, to-
gether with the disavowal of most of the ex-
treme acts of the German representatives. at
Samoa, indicate willingness to undo much
of what has been done that may lead to this
end. The United States would certainly
come off with flying colors if its stand in
favor of restoring the old condition of affairs
were to be adopted without some drawback
that makes it an empty diplomatic victory.
But it is not likely that Germany is going
to take the back track so completely with
out getting something in return.
