ALMOST A BIG FIRE.
An Actor Falls Asleep Smoking and
Burns the Bed.

There was almost a very serious re at
the Franklin house. North Queen street,
kept by Michael Burns, on Tuesday after-
noon. 1t occurred in room No. %. on the
third floor, which was occupied by one of
the male members of Martin Hayden's
dramatic company. The man must have
been lying in bed smoking when he fell
aaleep and the bed caught fire. lie saws
that he lighted a match and in throw
ing Il down the bed clothing caught
s1ire. Whichever story is right II is
certain that there was a fire. Nearly all
the clothing on the bed was almost entirely
destroyed, while the mattress was very
badly damaged. The man who had the
room called to fellow members OF his COM
pany who were near by, and they sue
ceeded in putting out the fire by the hardest
kind Of work and use of the water from
The pitchers of their rooms. The bedstead
was pretty well scorched. Mr.. Burns loss
Will be abont $50, and he is insured with
Bausman & Burns. The actors did not tell
the proprietor of the fire until after they
had extinguishedit.

The dues of SOC. year per member
have not thus far been sufficient to
runthe State Alliance. The secretary
is the only officer with a salary, and
he gets next to nothing. The print
ing bill is heavy-a great deal more
being required than astranger would
suppose. AS the State lecturer
usually gets nothing except travel
ling expenses, etc., he cannot be ex-
pected to pay money out of pocket
besides time and labor-and yet he
has done SO frequently. The expenses
of the Executive Committee are paid,
of late-when there is any money.
The trouble has been that in times
past precious few alliances kept up
their dues. 1t will be better
The SOC. fee on organizing goes
one-half to the organizer, and $500
for charter. The balance ought to
go into the State Alliance treasury.
This may seem a burden-but the
Farmers Alliance is run for one-half
the expenses OF any organization in
the world. What is needed is that
the financial reports be published
that would clear up the whole mat
ter.

FRIENDS,

1t becomes impossible for us now
to publish more than One-third OF
the communications which come to
us. Our mail runs from thirty to
fifty letters a day. AS the editor
writes this. at $50 a. NJ, there lies
before him pile of letters to read
which are ''picnic." Every one is
full of good words. But the paper is
not large enough to hold them.
Avoid tariff communications, gen
tlemen. Why? Because you cannot
enter the misty region without writ
ing at least four pages, if properly
written-and now we cannot afford
the space. There are not ten farmers
in the West who really believe in a
protective tariff! The discussion is
horribly long-and has become an
editorial nightmare. Do not write
a fine small hand. The copy is a
yard from the printers nose.
