Mother and Three children Burned

DUBUQUE, Ia, Oct. 5.-The house of
John McBee was discovered TO be on fire
at an early hour this morning. When the
iiremen arrived McBee jumped from n
window in the upper story to the ground
and was seriously injured. The flames
were quickly extinguished and the re-
mainder of the unfortunate family re-
moved. Mrs. McBee and her daughter
Rose, aged Is, were found dead. The
youngest daughter, Bertha, aged 16, and
the son Charley. aged 5, were found un-
conscious. The boy died this afternoon
and the girl cannot live. McBee says he
was awakened by a sense of suifocation
and found the room filed with smoke.
He aroused his wife and they grouped
their way to a window, through which he
leaped or fell. The wife was close behind
him, but remembering the children, must
have gone back to try 10 save them and
perished. When found the family was in
group, with their arms about each
other.

Sneaker Reeds Personality

Fat is very valuable sometimes" says
Blakely Hall in the Brooklyn Eagle. "No
man errs in describing Speaker Reed as
fat man. He would probably indorse the
use of that particular word in describing
his own appearance. There are stocky
men, plump men, stout men and fat men.
Reed waddles among the last named. Fat
lies in folds upon his neck and jowls, and
when he moves he shakes all over.
There Is about the man, though, a some
thing that dispels the notion of cumber-
some and unwieldy solidity, which is as a
rule the inyariable accompaniment OF ex-
treme weight. Despite the billowy out
lines Of his face il has lot of character
in II, and his eye is rs full of expression
as a Spaniard's, He speaks i'm heavy,
rotund aud final fashion even in the
course of everyday talk, and his slightest
opinion Is given with an air of weight that
is convincing in It's noise. This intensity
is as natural 10 the man as his enormous
girth. and he ploughs his way through the
crowd with the majestic air of steam
reaper in field of grain.
The personality Of the man has n good
deal 10 do with his recent fame. In Wash
ington they have adopted him as feature
of the town. Few days since when
was there he passed through one of the
lobbies in the house where score OF
more of congressman were talking busily.
He had a complaisant smile on his face, a
palm-leaf fan IN one hand aud an enor
nous handkerchief m the other, and hs
swung through the crowd at a gait that
suggested brawny athlete. lie an
swered every man who spoke 10 him in
his best oratorical style, but never ceased
showing, and people were pushed out OF
his way by his enormous bulk as though
they were made of straw.
A universal smile followed him, ant
things he said were repeated about tn,
place that night, though few Of them mer
tied IL. IL was his manner that mad,
them seem important.

Suicide In syracnse.

SYRACUSE, n. Y, Oct. 5.-Justin Glenn,
young man of this city, committed sui
eide last night by plunging head foremost
from a window. His widowed mother
died in August. BY the terms of her will
the son was TO have an allowance of Sl0O
month, in addition to living ex'

iicient to satisfy his fancy and
was quickly spent each month. Last

out the will and peered over il for hours,
reading the clause which kept the prop.
erty out of his hands. This morning a
policeman found the dead body stretched
on the sidewalk under the window. The
skull and neck were broken, and the
stiifened fingers of his right hand grasped
the crumpled will.
