FIRE AT rHE SPRING PALACE

We are permitted TO copy from q
letter from J. r. Wellington, Of
Fort Worth, Texas, Ia his son J. d..
Of the First National bank OF Salina,
the following description Of the fire
which destroyed the famous spring
palace at 1T. Worth, the night Of the
J1th Of May.
FURT WORTH, TRNAs, May 81, lSgO.
I suppose you have heard ere this
that the Texas spring palace was
burned last night shout u o'clock.
Well Ida, Mary GalbrAith, Effirs'
sister aud myself were there. The
exercises Of the evening had Just
closed, and they were preparing TO
have 4 dance when We saw every
body leaving their seats and hurry
ing out, aud some one said the build
ing Was on fire. told my wife and
Mary To stand still until the crowd
would get out uf the way. and then
We would have n better chance 10
get out ourselves without getting
hurt, but that WAS only = moment
as We saw the fire travelling almost
- fast a. a prairie fire. The ceiling
grasses, so We made 4 rush for the
stairs. We had only got about ~
feet when I saw ws were separating,
50 caught hold Of Mary and hurried
uer to where I could get hold of Ida
I then showed them both in front Of
me Till I got them in front Of the
stairs; just how We got down ] am
not able 90 tell. but we got down and
81 h. 10 "A
aud over-rullng providence. There
were several jumped out Of the
Giudows, and all that did SO were
more or less injured, some with
broken legs and arms. Three we
know have died of their injuries,
but We have yet to hear Of one that
was burned In the fire.
II was only four minutes from the
time the fire was fret started. I'LL
lie entire building was n mass of
flames inside aud out. IL IL reported
there we're 600 people in the palace
at the time OF the fire. As TO the
number there, could not estimate.
but the building Was crowded, ana
how 50 many people could get out
SiIhuut some one getting burned
AM az n loss to see. The loss Was
more than can be estimated As there
were q great many old relies, such
a. suvsniers saved from the old
Texas war, when they fought for
their independence, and = great
many things that time and money
cannot replace, but we care very
little for the loss OF the pala.,e 90
here Vas No one lost their life by
Dire.

Mr.. Carver suggested that MI.

called upon the gentleman, Who

The meeting was closed with Q

There can be no doubt about the
earDestusss Of the people In protect
ina themselves against the efforts OF
the dealers In intoxicants to over
ride the laws Of Kansas. IL Is heard
on the streets, 10 Pervades every
donIeiIe, it IL the burden Of all
newspaper writing, Il IL In the very
air we breathe, It 10 whispered In
every zephyr, aud roared In every
gale. The meeting OF Monday night
was but . manifestation Of this
esrnestness, tempered by wisdom Of
utieranes and deliberateness Of
seton. Il 10 the beginning Of the
end. That the end may be bright
and glorious let Ne all hope.
In view Of the fact that the original
package house was 90 promptly
closed by the energetic officials. the
meeting night seem to some TO have
been useless. But u IL not so.
Public sentiment must be moulded,
aud preparation made for the future.
IL 10 only by ceaseless vigilance that
We may hope to succeed. For we
may expect other efforts by the
willy and determined foe to force
their obnoxious wares upon Us.

The PleFoms, "A Poem Of the Christi
By Rev. E. p. Chlttenden. IL IL Q
remarkable book. The work II I'm
tive books Of seven eantOs each.
The FIRST book treats Of Christ In
nature, and the second Of Christ In
history. The poem opens With the
remotest period imaginable. Fol-
lowing the dramatic design OF the
work tie others are Personiied snd
motion given voice.
u will be seen from this vsrsifi-
cation that the PieTOIna IL designed
by the author TO represent Christ,
hence the name Of the poem. With
no other material he begins with
the ethereal period after the best
authorities on the science 81 eyolu.
ton TO develop the material and
spiritual worlds. This naturally
takes the poet into . realm which IL
mystical TO many readers; but even
those who do not fully grasp the In
tent will be interested Ia the wond-
erfully varied and oftimes original
versificAtion, the beautiful imagery
and the pure dictIon. Each page IL
filled with evidences Of O fine poetic
temperament though the subject In
hand IL one that appeals 10 only
certain channels Of susceptibility.
Il Is . lofty theme dIverging
In many OF I;s details. The
most striking feature OF the poem
probably IL its varied versificatIon.
The versifieation Of each product Of
the evolving universe, as these pro-
ducts, In their turn appear on the
scene, requires versatility, and not
only . ready command Of many
meters but . ready grasp Of the sig
nificanee Of the respective metres
a. words to the ever varying sub
jeets.
There 10 . great deal Of the purest
Of blank verse, at times sInguIarly
broken with rhymes. The work has
q charm for those who like the nov
el. IL will be . delightful recrea-
ton for scientists, but As . poem Of
spiritual evolution Il will doubtless
become famous and will place the
writer among At least the most am
bilious OF his time.
