MIRACULOUS ESCAPES.


A long ladder was rushed upon the
roof OF S Dey street, and placed against
the rear oftle burning building. 1t did
not reach within fifty ioet Of the Western
Union roof. Undaunted, however, two
iiremen scaled tho ladder and threw q
rope to tho roof. 1t was caught and
tied by ono Of the brave girls, who
seemed never 10 lose her nerve. The
tiremcn pulled themselves up hand.over-
hand, until they reached the top OF the
burning building and, amid cheers from
the thousands below, they let the seven
down to places Of safety, which they &C.
conplished just in time, for flames i'm.
medlately burst up through the cornice
and soon enveloped tho roof. The tower
OF the building was caught up by the
flames. The tons upon tons OF water,
however, soon began to have telling
effect. 1t was beautiful aud at the
same time q terrifying sight to see the
ERE shoet out from the windows fully
fifty feet around the entire building and
be blown back like great tiery tongues to
lick the roof OF the building. Finally
the flames died away altogether and LETT
smoky and charred bricks where the
window frames had been.
Tho eniire upper part Of the building
was gutted and every instrument and
wire rendered useless.
How the fire originated no one seems
to know positively, but 1t is surmised
that two OF the company's electric light
wires became crossed and set the floor
on fire. Had the fire broken out M
hour later, the loss Of life might have
been enormous. Fully seven hundred
girls and men are employed on these
two floors. The Offices Of the Associa.

A favorable report to the House will

A NOVEL JUDGE OF ART.
The Merits of Picture Decided by
Iifila Dnc.

The Merits of n Picture Decided by q
Little Dog.
The celebrated painter Vernet, while he
was yet unknown, painted the picture of
the Duchess l.. Her friends were thorough
ly dissatisfied with the likeness. The
painter was convinced that it was good
one and was sorely grieved about the ver-
dict, as IL robbed him of all hope to secure
customers in the aristocratic world.
"Do not let this discourage you," said
one of his friends. 81 know these fault
finding ignoramuses that put you down be-
cause you have no celebrated name. Intro
duce me tomorrow us Judge Of art and l
will fix it."
Without great hope the painter let his
friend have his own way. His friend had
heard that the Duchess had little lap-dog.
which she often caressed and even kisse d.
Upon this he built his plan, and repaired
to the hotel OF the Duchess, with the request
to see the picture.
The portrait was really we'll executed,
and when it was brought forth he praised
with friends of the Duchess who were
present. To smooth it out he made an ap-
peal that the little lap-dog be brought to
see the picture.
They were satisfied, and a maids was
brought forth. As soon as the picture was
held before the dog he began to wag his
tail and showed his JOY in every manner,
jumped at the picture aud began to lick it.
What more did they want to prove it a per-
feet likeness? All censure ceased; there
were only words of appreciation, and the
young artist was soon overwhelmed with
orders.
But the friend could now laugh, as he
grease the picture with bacon.-Translated

Senator Edmunds Believes the Revenues
Cannot Stand Repeal of the Tax.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Ed
munds' sugar reciprocity and retaliation
resolutions have created great interest
here. II is understood that Edmunds' plan
represents the modified views of the Ad-
ministration on the sugar and reciprocity
questions, but the Offering of these resolu-
lions by prominent member of the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, while the matter
was actually under discussion by the
Finance Committee. of which Edmunds is
not member, was accepted as indicating
that the Finance Committee was rather
slow in moving in the direction that the
Administration and ex-Mnister Foster, its
ambassador, desired, and that this step
was taken to hurry them up. Mr. Ed
munds is known to be opposed to the re-
peal of the sugar duty. He believes the
revenues are not in condition to stand it.
He so stated in the Senate on Saturday.
He anticipated shortage of $50, 600, 600 on
the 30th of June, 1891, on appropriations
already in sight, to say nothing Of those
that are to come, and in this estimate lie
leaves the sugar duty still standing He
said he feared it might not be Republican
