sTUDEBAKER's PALATIAL HOME
Now a Pile of Blackened Walls and
Smouldcring Ruins.

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 9.-The mag
nificent stone house of Mr.. Glenn Stude-
baker, and which cost about $500, 900,
was almost entirely destroyed by fire
this morning. The residence was one
of the largest and costliest in the west.
1t was built of Indiana field-stone, with
tile roof and copper facings, and the in
terror was finished in the costliest of
native and foreign woods, while it was
furnished in the richest style through
out. #EH
The art gallery on the third floor was
filled with rare works of art and all
these were destroyed. Mr.. Studebaker
is absent, as a member of the Interna-
tional-American congress and was to
have entertained that body in this
house on the 10Th inst. The rest of the
family except Mrs. Studebaker and her
grand child, are away from home.
Mrs. Studebaker discovered the fire
at 2 o'clock this morning in closet
opposite. Mr.. Studebaker's "den" and
under the rear stairway. 1t was evil
IDENTIFY caused by spontaneous combus-
ton of some oil rags which painters had
been using and thrown in there. Next
to the closet was the elevator shaft
reaching to the roof, and by this the
flames shot and spread all over the
building in an incredibly short time.
The servants had narrow escape and
Mrs. Studebaker herself was found out
on the terrace nearly insensible and
dangerously burned and clasping hel
grand child in her arms.
Owing to the careful manner in which
the structure was built and its supposed
security from fire, Mr.. Studebaker car
ried but SOS, 900 insurance.
Mr.. Studebaker'shouse was only tin'
ished a few months ago. September Il
MIR. and Mrs. Studebaker celebrated the
25th anniversary of their marriage anC

dence, which was completed last Febr
uary. Twelve hundred invitations
were issued to friends and relatives re
siding in the United States, Canada ant
England. Among the guests were al
their old personal friends, the neigh
bors who could remember the simple
beginnings of their fortunes.
The house in its proportions and ap
pointments, probably surpassed any
thing in Indiana. 1t was an embOdi

The above figures will give the tax
payers of the State an idea about why
only half as much of the State debt was
paid during the first two years of Gov
ernor Forakers administration as COM
pared with the administration Of Gov
ernor Hoadly. 1t may also throw some
light on the raiding of the sinking fund
for $a5O,OOO last year in order to get
some money into the general revenue
fund and thus prevent the State from
suspending payment. The $g50,00o was
borrowed for sixty days, placed ip the
general revenue fund, and wheu It be-
came due paid from the sinking fund;
thus necessitating the refunding of
Ss5O,OOO of the regular funded debt which
should have been paid.

it has been repeatedly charged that
Governor Foraker prostituted the be-

making them part of a machine organ
lied for the purpose of advancing his
personal ambitions. The removal of
trustees and dismissal of efficient en-

these charges. Of course nothing but
demoralization and extravaganza could
follow in the wake of such course.

Queer Customs in Thibet.
London Globe.

Polyandry Is that species of po-
lygamy in which the wife has more
husbands than one, and it prevails
wherever the Thibetan language is
spoken, even in districts on the Indian
side of the mountains. Polyandry is
found in many other places, such as
the interior of Ceylon, among the
Todas and Nairs of Southern India,
the Iroquois, and aboriginal Tasma-
mans; but Thibetsn polysndry has the
popularity that the husbands are all
brothers, or, at the least, very nearly
related, 80 that the woman becomes
the wife of q whole family. 1t does
not appear to be in any way connected
with the Thibetan religion, but to
owe its existence to the poverty of the
country and the desire to limit the
population. 1t Is practiced by all
classes of the population, rich and
poor, and IL L. only superseded by
polygamy, or multiplicity of wives,
where the people have been much in
contact with Hindoos or Moham-
medans.
Turner, the second of Warren Hast
ings' ENJOYS to Thibet, says that the
number of husbands IL not restricted
or defined. At Teshu Jumbo, the
residence of the Teshu Lama, he has
known family of Eve brothers living
happily with one wife, and he thinks
this probably Is the practical limit.
The children are regarded a. scions of
the house, rather than of any indi-
vidual member OF 1t; all the husbands
are treated as the fathers Of the chill
dren, and there Is no noticeable differ
ence I'm the relations of q child to the
different fathers. The surplus women

Huge Hailstones.
sydney Telegraph.


A resident of Bowraville, about
twenty miles from Nambuccs heads
and $40 miles north of Sydney, writ
ing TO a relative at North Shore, gives
to the Telegraph the following account
of a hailstorm on the Nambucca river
"I will try to describe to you q
remarkable storm, or hurricane II you
like, that visited us last Friday, l4th
of December, about midday. No one
uphere has ever seen storm to equal
it, and | certainly have never seen
anything like it, especially in the
immense size of the hailstones, or
more properly blocks of ice that came
with the storm. The storm came
from the southwest, and for about q
quarter of an hour before the sky was
intensely black in that quarter. The
first notice of its approach was the
roaring of the wind, which we could
hear for fully ten minutes before 1t
reached us in it's fury. The force of
the wind was terrific while il lasted
which fortunately was not more than
about twenty I've minutes. Huge trees
were snapped of or torn up by the
roots and carried bodily to some dis
lance. The thunder and lightning
lasted the WHOLE evening; indeed,
there seemed 70 be a succession of
violent thunder storms The light
ming was grand and the thunderclaps
would brighten any one, but the chief
feature of the storm was the immense
hailstones. At Bowra we got a great
many larger than a large hens egg,
and next door to us they went clean
through the iron roof into the kitchen.
In another part of the district they
were very much larger and almost
square in shape-some of them as big
as tea cups. The roof in Mr.. Mackey's
house in that part is just riddled with
holes. | need hardly say that such q
storm has done great damage TO the
crops; the corn was just tasselling,
and now much of 1t is leveled to the
ground. The roads are blocked with
fallen trees in all directions A man
might Just as well take his chance on
a battle field as be in the forests here
while such storm is raging and large
trees and limbs falling around him.
Since this storm we have had a thun-
der-storm every day.
