NEWSPAPERS AND FIRE.

tant. Come" and he darted down again,
closely followed by the editor, who was the

Of corpses we're carried out when the fire
was over. 1t had been sudden, swift and
remorseless.
The danger of fire in newspaper offices is
probably greater than in any other kind of
establishment short of powder mill or a
cotton gin, The paper, oils, inks and other
materials are very infammable and it is alb
solutely impossible to Keep people from
smoking. In fact, nobody tries to do that.
though some business managers draw the
line at cigarettes, as for example, the Re
corder, which was curiously enough founded
by a cigarette manufacturer money.
Fire patrols, which are made every night,
aud more than once night, by an expert
enced man are another precaution against
danger In the old World building there
were FIVE patrols every night, and beside a
glltteriug AK upon the wall conspicuousIy
hung this sign:
In case of fire take the ak, go out on the:

When Black Jack Burdock appeared on

on the promises,
Thirty BeaudIaILots.

There are four blocks Of eight lots each, two
of them being reserved for the location of the
depot of the Savannah and Isle Of Hope rail-
way.
There are two blocks fronting on Estill ave-
nue. and two on South avenue.
The blocks are between Lincoln and Haber-
sham and Habersham and Price streets.
There are four corners thirty seven feet 'front.'
by ninety-one feet deep, and three corners
thIrty-four feet front by ninety feet deep.
The Belt Line OF electric cars pass in front
of one block and along the ends of the four
blocks.
The Savannah and Isle of Hope railway, now
completed TO Thund .root, commences at the
intersection of Estill avenue and Habersham
street and passes in front Of one block.
The new shell road to the Isle Of Hope is pro-
jected from the intersection Of Estill avenue and
Waters avenue.
This vicinity is, therefore, bound to be great
thoroughfare, and grand place for business.
The business done at the depots Of the Coast
Line railroad and the City and Suburban rail-
road will indicate what may be expected at this
point
The new railroad to Thunderbolt and the Isle
of Hope is expected to rovolutionize suburban
railroad travel. and certainly will open up a
magnificent property along its route.

befors made an investment in Ian Is can make

A WORD FOR TRUSS. "

A politician was making some wise pTedic-
lions about 1892 the other day, and cinched
his argument with the sententious remark
Russ says so, any way"
"Who RUSSO | asked in one of my FREE
quently recurring asinine moments.
why, Russ Harrison. of course" said
the politician, in q somewhat plying and
contemptuous tone. II 'spose you think it
queer speak so disrespectfully Of the Presi-
dents son, but it's all right. l know Russ.
No one ever supposed that Russ would set
the Potomac on fire, but I will say this7for
him. He's an almighty good fellow, and
just the same as whel he used 30 be around
with the boys and no more flush of FLYERS
than the rest of US. Lord, manv's time
I've lent him a myself. He's a good
fellow, Russ is. b"
And that's considerable of certificate of
character for politician to give any semi
public character In perfect frankness.

DOES POLITICS PAY2

Does politics ray!
There can he bus one answer to that queS-
ton. Politics as a profession is about the
least remunerative of any known. 1t pays
IN honor-sometimes- Importance, fame
love of power, gcanfiei, but it does not pay
in money.
The earnings of men in Office are surpassed
at every point 10y men OF equal ability out
of it. This is especially true of the higher
places. Lawyers earn more than the pay
OF judges or congressman; bank presidents
have larger sal ries than Secretary Foster
or Treasurer Nebelsers. Newspaper men
earn larger sums than Private Secretary
Halford. The Presidents salary is large,
but 80 are his necessary expenses
There are finansial claims upon Office
holders besides campaign assessments.
Every worker" feels at liberty TO strike
them for loans and seldom think it neces-
sary to repay. The man who has the repu-
tation for stinginess doesn't get very far in
the race. IL is not strange that Sam Ran
dali and Judge Kelley, life long political
opponents, both died poor. Hubert O.
Thompson, the "old man in the fort" here
in New York. died poor. John Kelly made
money in real estate, but not in politics.
Richard Croker, his successor, is a poor
man to-day the late United States Mar
shall Lake Of Brooklyn left the munificent
estate of 81, 600.
or course, there are rich politicians, but
they make their money in some other way
outside and often or usually spend far
more than their salaries upon official ex-
penses alone; as Whitelaw Reid is reputed
to have paid his entire salary as minister to
France for the rental of his house alone.

HOW NOT TO DO IT.

The Beard Of Electrical Control-if that
is its satrically inapv name-continues to
furnish to New York magnificent exam
pie Of how not to do it. The board has been
years in existence, it has reveIed in con-
tracts, it has spent vast sums of money.
And yet, on the western water front,
where the conditions are simplihed by the
rivers presence, there stands 70 " of stall
wart poles, each bearing twenty-five cross
bars, or 250 wires. No one can see on any
principal street any appreciable diminution
Of the wires that cross-hatch the sky.
The poles and wires are a constant men
acc to life, especially at fires. Frost and
wind break them down, the bills for repairs
are enormous, and still they stay. Once
in a while the mayors men come out
and cut down a lot of poles. resulting
mainly in Inconvenience and delay of mes
sages.
Other great cities find no particular diff
Guilty in burying their wires. But New York
isn't like any other big city on this oblate
spheroid.
