HIS FIRE ESCAPE
1t Was all Right, But He Was to Scared to
Use it.

Use it.
They put me next to drummer at the
St. Charles Hotel in New Orleans, writes
a correspondent of the New York Sun,
and as was unlocking the door about 10
clock at night he came down the hall and
asked:
well, have you located emp"

''The fire escapes"
mo. | never attend to such things
''You don t?''
''Well, you are in for a roasting some
night | never go to bed in hotel until
after / have locate& every stairway and
fire escape. If there was to be an alarm
here to night I could jump out Of bed with
the fullest confidence of saving myself. See
here minute"
And he took me into his room and pro
duoed from his trunk fire escape made
of ropes, and expfained:
Should | happen to be cut off from the
stairs or escapes here is my other chance.
! catch this hook on the window sill, so;
throw the rope out. So and | can lower
myself fifty feet in in forty seconds.
We had been in bed but two hours
when | had beer awakned by the odor of
smoke, and was hardly on my feet when &
gong sounded and there was shouts of
fire" the smoke was so thin that knew
the danger was yet far off and began
dressing.
While so engaged heard the drummer
cantering up and down the hall shouting
''Fire1'' at the top of his voice. When
finally got out / found him jammed into
a linen closet half way down the hall cry
ing like a child. His rope escape hung

had made a bundle of his clothes and flung
them over a transom into another room.
The fire was out by the time got dressed
and when the Waterman, who was going
about to quietsthe people, reached our hall
the drummer oolasped him around the neck
and shouted:
Say! say! Show me the way down
stairs and I'll give you million dollars
yes twenty anillions!''
When some months ago the Turkish
authorities asserted the extinction at none
existance of cholera in Syria, while Ras-
was still lowering about on the borders of
pressed our conviction that the subsistence
of the epidemic was merely what might
be expected at that season and that it
would reappear with the return of spring.
And so it is; cholera is reported now as
having broken out on the imperials
domains of Diedil and in the village of
Bellek, near Bagdad, where six persons
have died out of thirteen attacked. Bag
dad was the headquarters of the epidemic
last year, whence it was carried by the
river boats far up the igris. We believe
| that the foreign office received informa-
ton of its occurrences as far north as
Eiarbekr and Erzeroum though in the lat
ter case it was more probably conveyed by
road from Tabreez. If we may venture to
prophesy we would say that will not pro-
coed further up the Tigris valley, but
travelling by the Euphrates, will next be
heard at Aleppo, and, perhaps, Beyrout.
and it will enter Egypt via Yeddah and
Suez and then leave Alexandria for
the Leaventine and Mediterranean ports
From Tabreez it will take the route via
Erzeroum and Trebizond to Constantinople.

amend mcnt To smiths motion relative to
the adoption by the commons of the Par

attempt by tho government to stir up
hatred against the Parncllitcs. lie
charged tho government with allowing
Pigott to escape il had allowed Lori
Arthur Somerset tai cscaps. for political
purposes. Sir Charles Lewis. con-
-crvativc. admitted that the re-
was not known before. hut said il proved
what was before disputed. He accused
Campbell, tarnelrs privat" secretary, Of
removing the books of the league \
lively passage here cusiicd. Camphcll
declared he last saw the books in Liver
pool. and as fas he knew the same
books lad been produced before the conn
mission. Lewis cotitcntied that every
charge. that had been disproved would
bccu produced. Sexton said Ic wished
to explain ON behalf of parncll why they
refused tn place them at ths. disposal of
their opponents. The statement was the
finances of the party. Lewis asked 10
thcr., was ~ legitimate explanation which
had been overlooked in the report. II the
books had been proslrIccl they would
have shown before ali other evidence
whether the respondents were honest
men ar criminals.
Bryce. liberal, adjourned the debate.
He urged that tll. limited views Of ths.
commissioners reduced the value of their
conclusions to very low points.
