AGENTS FOR THE LIGHT.
WEDNESDAY. APRIL, 3, 1899.
PROPERLY NATURALIZED,

The appointment of Patrick Egan Of
Nebraska having raised the ques-
ton of his American citizenship,
Mr.. Egan replies to the query by
saying, II am a full citizen or as
much a citizen as any foreign born
could be. I got my first papers in Oc-
tober, 1888, and my citizenship papers
in Lincoln, Nebraska, last October"
Mr.. Egan follows the plain law of the
United States in this thing. He first
declares his entions, five years later
he takes out his citizenship papers and
votes as an American citizen. That
this was the intention of the law con-
ferring citizenship cannot be doubted
by those who have informed them
selves concerning the original prac-
tice, I'm vogue at the east until the
necessity for manufacturing votes in
New York City became so pressing
that the Tammany bosses ran the
newly arrived emigrant to the polls
after the same length of residence in
the state and city as would make a
legal voter of a citizen removing from
another state.
This is practically the case in Texas
today, and in some other states. 1t is
not the case in Nebraska, Kansas,
Iowa, Minnesota and other western
states. In these states a residence OF
five years in the United States is
necessary to acquire citizenship and
the voting at an election being one o.
the privileges of citizenship, it would
naturally follow that the citizenship
be acquired as prerequisite to vot
ing. Ehe necessity of the enforce
ment of this residence of fully fiv,
wears in America before acquiring
citizenship and exercising the right
of the electoral franchise, grows NOR
and more apparent as our foreign
population multiplies. The bill in
troduced into congress during tn
last session regulating this matter G
citizenship, was a good one. 1t re
ouired every foreign born citizen
nroye a five years actual residence i
the country, that he was under n
disabilities when leaving hi
European home to emigrate, and tina
his character is such as becomes
citizen of a free and humane republic
The bars have been left down tC
long, and it is high time that the
were again put up and kept up, a
over the United States.

THE discussion in the council
chamber on Monday over the resolu-
ton to turn the San Antonio river i'll
to a sewer and all council action or
rather inactlon in the premises, plain
ly point to fatal inertia. The city is
multiplying population very rapidly
and there is not one more provision
made for the consumption of filth and
the sewerage of the city than there
was twenty-five years ago, when the
city was an open village with wide air
spaces in every section of the city and
natures forces were sufficient to re-
store the equilibrium. A continual
ton of the present neglect to provide
for the consumption of the filth and
garbage of this city, and to provide
rome system of sewerage will as lu-
evitably result in disease of a virulent
character, which will become cpl
demic, as that cause is followed by
effect. Three years ago movement
towards garbage furnaces was made,
but under the deadening effect of the
present city administration nothing
has been done, and there are no indl-
cations of anything being done. Some
of these days there will be a terrible
waking up and the attempt to do
something will come too late.
THE Stewart resolution expressing
the profound sorrow of the United
States senate on the death of the great
English commoner, John Bright, was
referred to the committee on foreign
| relations. This from no lack of regard
for the dead liberal. nor from any
lack of appreciation for his services
rendered the national government
| during the late war for the dismem-
| berment of the union, but from lively
sense OF former unhappy experience
| with the court of Berlin when the
senate passed a mOrtuary resolution
mplimentary to a member of the
German reichstag and had it con.
temptuously returned. There is no
question of the gratitude of Ameri-
cans to Mr.. Bright for his most unset
fish and effective services in behalf o
this government in the days wher
, England was being urged by France
to recognize the southern confederacy
There is no question, also, that Mr.
Bright's course towards Ireland anC
his antagonlsm of the great home rule
leaders has dimmed the luster of TIN
crown which ten years ago Ameri
cans would 50 gladly have set upOl
his brow.

CARDINAL GIBBONS has issued
new literary work entitled "Our
Christian Heritage" 1t is book OF
800 pages and purely religious in char
acter. One chapter of it is devoted to
the labor question, which is treated
from a humane and religious stand
point. The cardinal began this work
shortly after his return from Rome IN
1886, but its completion was neces-
sarily retarded owing to the multifa-
rious duties of his office. The only
other book written by the cardinal,
"The Faith of Our Fathers" had the
largest sale-some 10000 copies-of
any Catholic work published IN
America and was translated into Ger
man, French, Italian, Spanish and
Norwegian.

THE seat made vacant by John
Bright in England will be filled by
Gladstone liberal. Neither the son
of his father, nor any other man who
opposes the rights of Ireland to home
government, can carry that borough.
John Bright only retained it by virtue
of his personal popularity and long
advocacy of the rights of English
men. His antagonism to horne rule
was not endorsed by many of his con-
stituents who voted for him. A gene
raj election today would return par
lament favorable to Irish, Welsh and
Scotch home government.

BosToN, Nov. 20.--The most disas-
trous fire from which Boston has suf-
fered since 1872, and one which in prop
erty loss more than rivals the great con-
fiagration at Lynn on Tuesday, broke
out at about $40 q. m. yesterday in the
six-story granite building owned by
Jordan, Marsh & Co., and occupied by
Brown, Durrell G. Co., dealers In dry
goods, on Bedford street, corne Or Of Kings
ton. The great fire Of 1872 broke out
at the corner of Kingston and Summer
streets, and the alarm Of yesterdays fire
was rung in from the same box which did
similar duty at 7:15 p. m, on the even
ing Of November Q, 1879, when the fire
flend broke loose, and before being sub
dued consumed nearly 800, 100000 of
property. The first alarm rung in
was Immediately followed by the first
general alarm in Boston since
1872. Yesterdays conflagration ragged
for six hours, burned over two
acres Of territory covered by
mdBHluCeuJ SJFuCOuTcS, duu tuOdiiCu u
loss now estimated at $4,000, 900. The
fire was discovered by letter-carrier,
who noticed flames bursting from the
top Of the Brown building, over the ele-
vator shaft, in which it evidently origin
ated. At S:4S they had spread to the shoe
and leather exchange building, another
large granite structure, adjoining Brown,
Durrell & Co., on bedford street. From
both buildings tho flames swept in great
masses across Bedford street to the OPP
posite corner, Il ence across Kingston
street, along Bedford to Chauncey street,
where it was stopped in the store of
Farley, Hovey & Co., the upper stories
Of which were burned. Thee stores
along Chauncey street toward Sum-
mer were burned. On the south side Of
Bedford street the flames jumped across
Kingston from the hot blaze from
Brown, Durrell &c Co.'S to big sand
stone building owned by +. l.. Ames,
and occupied by Taylor Brothers, and
this was consumed. The great granite
building known as Nevins' Block, at the
corner of Chauncey street, was the next
victim for the flames, and the entire
block, clear around Rowe place to
Kingston street, was consumed. Cross
ing Chauncey street the fire soon
had good head in all the stores
which are inclosed in Exeter place,

men got control. At Rowe Place the
fire was partially checked from going
toward Essex street, but quickly moved
toward the opposite side to the immense
Allen and Larrabee buildings, occupying
the square between Bedford street, Har-
rison avenue extension and Exeter
place, at which place their further
progress was checked.

A MISPLACED Livar.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov, 29.-Dr.
Farr, an eccentric physician, was found
dead in his bed Wednesday morning.
DIR. Farr is from Lexington, Miss, and
at the time of his death was thirty-three
years of age. He came to this city from
Cincinnati ten months ago, and was
given charge of sanitarium. He was
exceedinglyreticent, made few acquaint-
ances and never divulged his full name.
A post-mortem examination was held,
resulting in the discovery that his liver
was enlarged and misplaced, being in
the middle of his diaphragm. The case
has awakened a great deal Of interest
here.

A WAVE OF FLAME
Sweeps Over the City Of Lynn,
Massachusetts.



LYNN, Mass, Nov. 27.-Lynn, the city
Of shoes, was visited yesterday afternoon
by the greatest. fire in its history, and,
with two exceptions, the confagration
Is the most disastrous that has ever
visited New England. The exceptions
are the great Boston fire of 1879, which
destroyed 800, 900, 900 worth OF property,
and the Portland fire Of 1865, which
caused loss Of between $40, ZOO, 600 and
S12,000,000. Yesterdays fire started at
11:55 q. M, ragged over eight hours,
devastated a square mile Of the bus
mess section of the city, and caused
a loss estimated at about $40, 900.
In fact, the greater part Of Ward Four
is wiped out, as regards the important
shoe manufacturing blocks and prom
inent places of business. The fire
started in Mowers wooden building on
Almont street, over the boiler, and
spread with such rapid!ty that the fire
department of the city was powerless to
cope with It, This large wooden build
ing was soon doomed and the
flames leaped across q narrow pas
sage way, and communicated with
the six-story brick block. known
as Mowers Block. When the
fire in these two buildings got we'll un-
der way it was evident terrible confla-
grafton would result. Almost stimuli
taneously the four-story wooden shoe
factory of Bennett g. Barnard, on Gen.
trail avenue, and the four-story wooden
building on Almont street caught fire,
49, 1. .~f A.,
was in progress, which blanched the
cheeks Of all the spectators. For eight
hours the flames had full sway,
The efforts of frcmen and citizens
seemingly being of no avail,
although of course they did valuable
work. The burned territory includes
and is bounded by tho following streets:
Almon Central avenue at its junction
with Willow; Union. from its junction
with Broad to the Boyden Block, on
both sides; Mt. Vernon street, entire;
Beach, on both sales as far down as Lees
lumber yard; Washington, from Monroe
through to Union: Railroad avenue; all
of Exchange street; Broad, from
the engine house on both sides
as far up as the corner of Exchanges;
Spring street entire, besides dwell
ing houses too numerous to mention on
Suffolk, Amity, Sycamore and Reach
streets. Aid arrived from Boston, Salem,
Marblehead and surrounding towns, but
their united efforts seemed to have little
effect on the hurricane of flame. Scenes
of the great Boston and Chicago fires
were re-enacted in all their horrors.
Mothers fleeing with babes in their
arms, express wagons loading Rt bus.
mess and dwelling houses and transfer
ring goods to place of safety, in many
cases second removal being necessary.

All That Have Been Recovered st the
Minneapolis Fire, but Others are known
to be In the Ruins.
MINNEApoL1s, MINI Dec. o.-Twelve
human lives and 100000 worth Of
property were sacrificed by fire Satur-
day night, that originated In the Union
League, on the third floor Of the Mime
apolis Tribune Building. The fire was
discovered shortly after 10 o'clock by o
District messenger, and almost before
an alarm could be turned in every door
and window of the immense seven-story
building was belching fire and smoke.
There were upwards Of eighty
men, including the editorial staff
and force Of compositors at
work on the seventh floor,
and these were penned in like sheep by
the sheets of flame that separated them
from the elevator and stairway. Then
began frenzied stampede for the win
dows and roof. Meanwhile the Fire De-
partment had got a ladder uR to the
sixth floor, and from there thirty or
forty men were taken out of the build
ing and landed on terra frma. Those
who were on the roof dared not descend,
and several jumped to the roofs of ad-
joining buildings and escaped with o
few bruises. DIR. Olson, president of
the University Of Dakota, at Vermil-
lion, was among those on the roof,
and, seeing all means of escape cut off,
he essayed to jump to an adjoining
building. He slipped and fell to the
ledge of the window on the sixth story
and from there to the ground. He fell
head foremost and was instantly killed,
every bone in his body being broken. j.
+. Igoe, night operator for the Associ-
ated Press, stuck to his post until it was
too late to escape. He was frightfully
burned about the head, and in his agony
he, too, jumped from the burning build
ing and was killed. Agent Miles, of the
Associated Press, whose home is in De-
troit, Mich, attempted to follow Igoe,
but fell back into the crater of flame
and was burned to crisp. Milton A.
Pickett. reporter, was caught with q
companion named Pierce, on the stair
way, and there they were roasted to
death and subsequently crushed to q
pulp by falling timbers. While the fire
was at his height J. McCutcheon ap-
peared in one of the windows Of the
composing room and jumped into a net
held by the firemen below, the weight
of his body carried the net to the. stone
pavement, and he died in few minutes
after being picked up. A few mo-
ments after he had jumped an
other Of the printers appeared at
a window on the opposite side Of the
rooms. He was told to wait moment
and ladder would be sent up to him.
He appeared to be crazed by fright,
however, and instead Of waiting pulled
a revolver and, placing the muzzle to
his head, fired. The report was heard
in the street and the man was seen to
drop to the floor. His name could not
be learned. 1t was rumored that an
other man had also shot himself, but
this report could not be verified. There
are are doubtless several people in the
ruins, but just how many will not be
known until the debris is removed.

the engineer was thrown of and
after running four miles further the

between $4,000 and $50, 900, and came
