The handsome frame residence of Cap

consisting Of himself, a wife and two
children, were awakened by smoke and
had narrow escape with their lives. The
fire caught from q register in the
second story, which was supplied with
heat by Latrobe stove in the
parlor, The nelghbors were aroused bv
the cries for help which issued from the
burning house and the fierce blaze
brought them TO the ecene in a few
minutes, Strenuous efforts were made
to save some of the household goods bui
q piano, three mirrors and some Of the
parior furniture, all of which were
damaged by heat and smoke wers all
that were rescued.
The building burned fetosly for five
hours before tine work Of destruction was
complete, and the neighbors worked
valiantly during that time TO
save the large stables in the rear,
and in this they were successful The

the residence or Jones Guthrie, where
they still are. Mrs. lie Maistre and the

THEATRICAL realism is sometimes too
real, Plays are written or should be
written on the theory Of correcting the
weakness and not exposing the prurient
wickedness Of human frailty more than is
absolutely necessary. But modern plays
have taken up fad Of realism and carried
1t to an extreme that is mora disgusting
than instructive. There are the com
paratively harmless "tank dramas In
this country, but in Europe the real asp
Of Bernhardt is only one OF
the inartistic and unnecessary cllmaxes
to which stage realism has
attained. A riot occurred at theatre 10

in which a rich manufacturer makes
proposal to factory girl in his employ.
The ladies and gentlemen in the stalls
tried to leave the theatre. thereby wish
ing to show their indignation, but the
workmen occupying the pit would not
permit them 20 leave, and shouted loudly
for the ladies' to keep their seats. One
man cried out, Stay here and see the
picture that your own infsmy has made.
The stage is not intended to portray
vulgar crime, but to teach lessons Of
viTeue, purity and truth.

TIE discussion Of the government Of
the District Of Columbia In the Senate
last week brought out some facts not
generally known. Senator Morgan com
pared the abolition Of the district govern
ment in 1875 to the burning Of a barn in
order to get rid Of the rats, the rats
being the negroes and the feather
duster legislature. There might have
been a reason for limiting the right Of
suffrage in the district, but there was no
reason for taking from the enlightened
people and property owners Of the dis
trict voice in the government merely
because there were bad materials among
the then voters The fact was,
however, that, in the face Of the influx
Of negroes into the district, the Senate
and House had felt compelled to preserve
property rights and deeency Of admins
tration, to disfranchise every man SO as
to get rid Of negro suffrage. That history
could not be reversed. No man could mis-.
understand it. What record that was
for Republican administration When
the blacks became too numerous the
Senate and the House, both Republican,
took away the suffrages Of the people and
put the city in the hands Of a com.
mission. This Is smother instance q
Republican sham and humbug toward
the negro. In the southern States
where only the Democrats are likely "a
suffer the Republicans are anxious d
have the negro obtain and hold exacu
tive end legislative power In Washing
ton it was different, there was no politi-
cal ends to be gained by doing otherwise,
hence tley burned the barn to be rid Of
the rats-they did what they esteemed
Just ard wise.
