THE SMALLEST CIRCULATION.

Newspapers arc always Wanting
themselves as having the Largest
circulation" in the world, writes
london correspondent In the Critic.
Here is O new idea for them: the Aus
trian emperor's morning paper, which
his imperial majesty cons daily, and
consuIts over occasionally, has the
smallest circulation In the world. In
fact, its circulation Is limited to the
august Francis Joseph himself. This
Chronicle-I believe that is the name
lis the most curious publication inn
aginsble. Its proprietor is the en-
peror, it is published for the emperor,
and. so far as 1 can learn, it is only
read by the emperor. 1t Is, at any
rate, issued for his sole benefit; and
the imperial news bureau brings it
out at cost of 200, 900 gulden yearly.
1t contains, in a condensed form, all
the articles In foreign papers which
refer to Austria. Surely this is true
wisdom-I mean this desire of becOm-
ing acquainted with all that is public
~ said or written about ones selfi s
set in high place. Many word
which no courtier nor subject would
venture to speak direct, may TINS
find its way to the imperial ear.

FIRE BOYS HURT
SERIOUS RESULT OF A WILD
RACE FOR A FIRE.
Sunset Hose Cart Capsizes and
Six Brave Boys Seriously In
.jured.

Last night while going to the fire
the Sunset hose company truck turn
ed down Travis street with the
Turner Hook and Ladder truck close
in the rear, both drivers taking this
street to avoid the street car tracks on
Houston street. A lively race between
the two teams as to the quickest
sprung up, when one of the Sunset
men cried"Put 1t to him." a d the
driver dashed the horse. The hose
cart shot towards st Mary's street
like al arrow, aud just rs it made the
turn it upset The lights Of the wreck
were immediately extinguished ana
the hook and ladder truck rushed
within forty feet OF the MEN when
the driver turned his fiery team aside,
running into Col. Upson's fenc.
The men on the hook aud
ladder truck hurriedly ran to the
assistance of the men, when 1t was
fou ID that Billy Freeman, foreman
of the Sunset company had his leg
broken. He and Joe Hauk, former
ly lollce captain OF the company were
riding OIL the hose cart. Hauck was
Injured about the spine and cut about
the head. Both were carried into
Col. Unson's residence, where Dr..
Watts, shropshire aud Preston were
caiieu ~ attend their injuries.
P.i!!ip Nauger, also OF the Sunset
com many, received some internal in
juries and had hIs leg fractured.
Richard hull and Bob jolly, the lat.
ter, who was sitting on the seat with
the hose cart driver, were both cut
and bruised Manger, Hull aud jolly
were immed lately sent home.
The hose rG driver. John Putnam,
incurred, among other injuries, a
spraiHed leg. He had his wounds
dressed and was sent home in hack
Tue Hook and Ladder men who
witnessed the accident agree that
neither their truck nor horses rode
over the capsiZed cart, but say that
they stopped within forty feet of the
Sunset hose truck.
The firemen upon their return to
headquarters gathered I'D groups re-
Iating tie particulars until h'sllv
five or six vesrions of the unfortunate
accident were in circulation. The
LIGHT man caught his version warm
from the lips OF the participants and
long before 1t had time to grow.
The fire last night which called out
the ire department and brought on
the accident IN which the six fire.
men were injured, was caused by a
defective fiue in the Washington
theatre from which the ceiling took
fl me
Although the fire, was extinguish-
ed, some one called out the depart
ment, bringing the engines on the
scene long after the flames were ex
tinguished.

presently closed its career with the

ment: The circulation of this paper
thanks to the .xtraurdt' airy and un-
paralleled success which has attend
ed it since the first number, has In
creased to so enormous q figure that
we are quite unab e to print it. We
are, consequently, compelled to sus-
pend publication" On the same day
that this auecdote appeared, the New
York Herald Published the following
concerning Its own success: wv G
have to announce that it is our in-
teution 10 suspend for the present
the publication of the daily edition
Of this journal. Mechanical diffic'
ulties in its production, which with
our existing appliances, we found
impossible to owe, come, compelled Us
some weeks ago to reduce the size O
the paper, aud left US powerless tC
carry our the intent ons we had
in view when we embarked in the Ell

liged to postpone, though we do no
abandon, the hope of placing before
