FLAMING TREES.


Tree after tree was thus caught in the
flames and was consumed round our
camp that night. AS eaCh treC would In
the FIRE, there would be q roar like u
storm. The flame shot into the air a
hundred feet or more, and the light lllu.
minated all the canon. The rocks hang

as though it were day. But the speCta.
Gle was different from day. The light OF
the FIRE tinged all the o~verhanging
heights with red and gave them an un-
earthly appearance.
The scene was at once sublime and
alarming. II was not a continuous Ore.
It came and went by flashes. Each tree
that burned marked an epoch in the
c%onAagration. 1t was only the leaves
that burnt with such brilliant flame.
The trunks also burnt hut more slowly,
and the FIRE within them snoulderCd
and stpothered, at times kindling into
flame, and then again dying down into a
mass Of Goals and livid heat. These
could not be seen while the great flames
were climbing above the tree tops but
when the flames would die down, in the
dark interval between, then the dull
trunks OF the trees shone vaguely In the
darkness, cleaning with "halt-hidden en-.

q crash, scattering the fire on all sides.

Senator Matt Quay, who conducted the
last Presidential canvass for his party and
made Wanamaker Postmaster General.

ONE OF our reporters made fair re-
port Of the impudent assertion by the
negro Hold Carriers Union on Sunday OF
an assumed superior right TO the streets
because they were in procession, and
closed 1t with q statement OF the law in
such cases. No procession can monopolize
the streets whether composed OF whites or
blacks, and when they attempt II they do
so in spite OF and in defiance OF the law.
Regiments and companies or batteries OF
the regular army, marching through a
city, always set good example in this re-
spect. Infantry and cavalry by tours and
batteries In MS close order as possible.
This should be the order OF all professions,
except upon gala and holidays when traffic
is suspended Then cities are usually
on fete and marching columns Of men may
be Unanswered to tho hearts content Of
their officers without interfering with
anyone. The rudenoss Of tho negroes on
Sunday and their violence in selling the
horse OF Mr.. Goepll is inexcusable. Theirs
was brutal assertion Of brute force with
out provocation or any cause to justify IL,
and Officer Dallas Lee should DO dismissed
from tho force because he refused 10 per-
form his duty by arrcsting the offending
commander OF the hod carriers lie should

who says at any time and under any cir
culhstances that he is afraid is not fit to
associate with brave men, and our police
should all OF them be brave and ready.
