PATERSON, n. j., Feb. S.-Washington
hall, which occupied Il square of ground
on Broadway 400 by 600 feet, burned to
the ground at 9 o'clock this morning.
Loss, 5000, 900. A ball was in prog.
ress at the time when the fire was
discovered, but the guests got out
safely. About 2:40, when the
flames were at their height, a rapid
fire of musketry took place frightning
everyone away from the building. This
was caused by the ignition of 10, 900
rounds of cartridges in the armory on the
first floor. The fusilade kept up for
some time, but fortunately no one was
hurt.

A rigid temperance reform has begun
in the government departments al
Washington. Most of the clerks have
been in the habit Of taking a drink
when they felt like 1t, but it is about as
much as their job is worth to do so now.
The plea that they don't allow the habit
TO interfere with their work will moi
avail. They must not drink at all.
Even at night, when their time is Their
own, they must avoid the flowing bowl
and shun the saloon. In his message to
congress Harrison favored the restric
ton of the liquor traffic in the District
of Columbia, and this probably is where
the restriction is to come in.

Alive With a Broken Neck.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb, Mrs. Dona
hue, the woman who was received into
the Pennsylvania hospital several weeks
ago suffering from a broken neck, is
still alive, and the physicians are now
experimenting upon an apparatus which
will keep her head erect and enable her
to go about her daily duties. To reset
the fracture is beyond the power OF
medical science, and there is no record
in any medical work ever published Of
a human being living under similar
conditions. Strange to say, moreover,
she suffers no pain.

A wonderful amount of physical en-
ergy was developed in a Cincinnati
policeman the other day. A man wh(
had violated the law climbed to the tor
of an electric wire pole to avoid arrest,
but the gallant ''cop," nothing daunted,

ture. In such circumstances a Phila.

asleep at the bottom of the pole until
the enemy Capitulated.

A CHANGE OF HEART,
senator Colquitt, of Georgia, VIII Go on
the Stump for Temperance.

the stump for temperance.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-United States
Senator A. II. Colquitt, of Georgia, has
allied himself with the platform OPP
ponents of the rum traffic, and here
after his powerful voice will be heard
over the country on temperance plat
forms. He takes the ground that the
race" troubles in the south are liquor
conflicts instead of race issues, and that
if the rum shops could be driven out of
the south all the troubles would cease.
The politicians, he says. say that the
purity and sanctity of the American
home depends upon the ballot box, but
in his judgment such purity cannot
prevail until the rum shop is banished
from the land, and the American people
irrespective of creed and politics should
unite 20 that end.

local paper says: Northern men can
hardly believe it is a Florida produc.

pared by a simple, crude process, and
learn how enormously it produces, and
further, that it is an article not only
for man, but for animals, they open
their eyes in wonder"
