PERILoUs PREDICAMENT.
A Fireman's Narrow Escape From
.r-.a Death t''

Fireman Flanagan. of the central
station, had close ca Il yesterday even
ing An alarm had been sounded for a
fire at the:carpentry establishments on
Cedar street, between Sixth and Sew
enth. Flanagan was riding on the
':hook and LADDER and arriving at the
scene of the fire, before the horses had
been pulled up, he took leap to the
ground. The slippery condition of the.
street made him lose his feet, and the
bystanders were Mortified to see the
man under the apparatus. The driver,
driver did not see Flanagan jump off,
and was unaware. of his perilouS posi-
ton. There seemed no escape for the
fellow, but just when the wheels were
about to pass over him the horses came
to stand. Flanagan recovered his
equilibrium, rushed to the supposed
confagration and the relieved onlook-
erS vented their pent-up feelings upon
the foolishness Of leaping from moving
carts and cars. 8'si

Fable of the OK and the Ass. 5t,

An OK and an ass dwelt together
in the same field, and many of the
animals went to them to inquire
about the weather. When the OK
was asked whether the winter was
to be open or rigorous he invariably
replied;
AZ cannot say for certain just now
please call again"
"The ass on the contrary, was
prompt to reply:
"This is going to be very, very
open winter, the buds will start in
February" Or, "This is going to
be the coldest winter we have had
for twenty years, and we shall get
no spring before June"
When the winter was over it was
always found that the ass had miss
ed it, while the OK had gained fnr-
ther reputation for wisdom bv
refusing to express an opinion. 1t
thus came about that the ass was
spoken ofin ridicule and contempt.

The Co1ainr Concert.

In our opinion, Mr.. Heine is one
of the surprising violinlsts of the
age. His style is thoroughly artis-
tic, his tone melodious and full, and
his intonation perfect. His express
sion is that which results from a
deep understanding, and is full of
feeling, tenderness and purity. He
executes with ease the most difficult
passages from Ernst, Paganini and
other composers, and in a manner
which never fails to delight his
hearers. We think that Mr.. Heine
is second to no violinist now living.
If Ole Bull be first, he is not first
alone. The celebrated Heine con-
cert will be here Thursday.

Two theories have been advanced
as to the cause of the mild winter.
One is that Dakota, headquarters of
the blizzard industry, desiring to
come into the Union, is on her good
behavior and don't wish to rutfie the
feathers of the "solid south" with
blizzards, polar waves and meteorol-
ogical excesses. The other theory is
that the good Lord is "temperlng
the winds to the shorn democrats" ."

Good Coffee.

We see many recipes in the jour
nails telling how to make good cof-
fee. We know one that is always
good here. Take plenty of coffee,
grind it for yourself, stir it up with
an egg, yolk and all with little
water; then put it on till it comes
to boil, using verv little water.
The Willamette water is very bad
for coffee, it weakens it somehow,
So, use the least possible quantity.
Milk spoils the best coffee use
either good, rich cream or fresh but
ter, or nothing.

The Orange Peel.

Since that era the banana has
come to compete with the orange as
wrestler and somersaulter. We
saw an old gentleman thrown
violently to the earth yesterday
evening by one of these villainous
peels. A Youthful miss laughed at
his mlshap and came very nearly
being overtnrOwn herself. Just
then came trio Of yahoos, each of
whom slung the whole peel on the
walk. In almost every town it has
been found necessary to make it a
penal ofTense to throw such stuff on

Concerning Whlskey.

Now that the Senate has decided
to bestow a bounty to encourage the
production of native sugar, other in
dustries are looking for assistance Of
the same sort. A member of the
wliskey trust, for instance, wants
the government to give distillers a
bounty of five cents a gallon on eX-
ported whiskey. This bounty, he
thinks, would make it possible for
them to compete with German man
ufacturers in their home market
and with everybody everywhere.

with the Lawrence Bank insolvency; but
all the causes of that disaster are not yet
thoroughly explored. If it is found upon
full investigation to be wholly clear of con-
nection with speculation, it will be the re-
markable and fortunate exception to the
general rule.
This fact ought to be impressively instruc-'
tive. The public mind is often dazzled and
allured by the stories of immense gains in
speculation; but the stories do not bring
out the fact that every dollar thus won
must have been lost by someone else. Lit
tie is said of these losses, except when some
grand smash forces attention to them. But
the testimony of those who study the causes
of bankruptcy can furnish an offset to the
big fortunes gained in speculation in the
fact that the totals of bankruptcy are fur
nished bY the corresponding losses. The
successful spectators are fully balanced by
the bankrupts; and the fact is also beneath
the surfaces that the money won by the
manipulators from their victims is generally
won with stacked cards.
A lesson which this generation needs to
learn, and yet which is apparent in every
financial event of the day, is that the only
honorable and useful way of making money
is to give value received for every dollar
that is gained.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-11-25
THE EIGHT HOUR QUESTION.

The movement in favor of the eight-hour
system of labor received an illustration at
the meeting of German laboring men YES
terday. The eight-hour project was sup
ported by the regular argument, which can
be generalized as making two assertions:
First, that more and better work can be
done in eight hours than in ten; second.
that if workingmen labor only eight hours,
the Limitation OF their work will afford labor
to the unemployed.
The men who present these arguments to-
gether fail to see that they contradict each
other. If a workman can produce a greater
amount, measured in value, by eight hours
work, the result would be greater produc-
ton, instead of less; and if the system
would limit the labor of the employed so as
to give work to the unemployed, the result
must be that each individual would produce
less. The fact is that in some branches of
labor the first argument has some force; al
though how far it extends is a question for
discussion. As to the idea that the condi-
ton of the working classes can be improved
by limiting production, that is founded
wholly on error.
The eight hour system has enough ground
for consideration to warrant candid dis
cussion and conservative experiment As
to the project of establishing it by whole
sale and universal movement, that is the
way which is least likely to make it sue
cessful.

MILLIONS OF DEVILS,
One Hundred Imps to Every Person, Ac-
cOrdinR TO Mormon Doctrine.

One Hundred Imps to Every Person, Ac.
cOrdInR to Mormon Doctrine.
From the New York Times.i
If the children of Utah believe the teachings
of WIlford Woodruff. the successor of Brig
ham Young and John Taylor in the Presidency
of the Mormon Church, life must present a
gloomy outlook to their youthful eyes,
with small hope of salvation at the
end; for it is the deliberate calculation
of this aged teacher that each person
now upon the earth is individually beset by 100
devils whose mission it is to betray him into tor
ment. 1t is a matter of simple arithmetic
100000 100000 devils fell to the earth with
Lucifer; there are 1,OOO. 600 900 people upon the
earth. which gives 100 imps to every man,
woman and child.
"Now, l want all our boys and girls" said
President Woodruff recently to the Mormon
children, ITO reflect upon this and to see what
danger they are in and the warfare they have
President Woodruff has an abiding belief
that these agents of Satan have an actual form
and can appear in the body before the eyes of
men. for he has seen them and battled with
them more than once during his eventful
career. When in Liverpool, in lS40, en-
gagged in missionary work for the
Mormon Church, he was called upon
to labor over a woman who was In a ter
rible raSe. tearing her clothes and recurring
the strength of three men to hold her in her
bed. He laid hands upon her and commanded
the devil to depart, which it did, and the wom-
an fell into sleep and awoke restored. But
