ally and financially, The ladies, with
their powdered hair and costumes of the

Day" by Miss Paus, was beautifully
rendered and won for her an encore, to
which she gracefully responded.

her audience and was compelled to re-
spond to a well deserved encore.

Deeds" was well received, as was also the

credibly given.

signal for applause. He has magniti-
cent voice Of wonderful strength and
Sweetness. He kindly responded to an
encore.

objects of interest, and are well worth a

was stopped by blowing up buildings,
which was at the time the only me hod
of reducing fire that had grown beyond
the capacity of the small fire engines
These were on large tubs, and threw a
stream of water directly on the fire, as

later Q672) by Van der Heide.
The cities Of America, on account of
the larger amount of wood in their con-
struction and the prevalence of irrespon-
sible methods of building, have suffered
severely from fires.
The first devastating fire in America
was probably the one occurring at Bos-
ton, March 80, 1850, when 400 dwellings
and stores were burned, causing loss OF
100000.
In the Colony Of Massachusetts, Bay
regulations in regard to the construction
of chimneys and thatched roofs were
made as early as March 49, 1880, and
various enactments were made at later
dates. The ordinance at the town meet
ing of Boston, March IA, 1645, made pro-
vision that each householder should have
ladders long enough to reach to the ridge
Of the house, and pole "about IL feet
long, with a good large swob at the end
of it," and various graded penalties were
provided for those not conforming to the
law.
New York was visited by a severe con-
flagration in the southern part OF the
city on December 16, 1885, which ex-
tended over an area of 40 acres, destroy
ing 674 houses and causing a loss which
has been estimated as high as $50, ,OOO, 900,
on which there was only $1,000, 900 in
surance-an amount which ruined sew
cral insurance companies.
One Of the first of the more recent con-
flagrations was the burning of Portland,
Me-. July 4, 1865. The fire was caused
by boy throwing a f1recracker into a
cooper's shop for the avowed purpose of
gearing the workmen. In this respect
the act was an unparalleled success. the
damage being about $40, ,OO0,0
The Chicago fire, October 9, 1871, was
one of the largest in all history, devastat-
ing an area of three and one-half square
miles and causing loss of about $780,
OOO, 900, on which insurance was paid to
the amount of about 800, 900, 600. Two
hundred and fifty lives were reported lost
in this fire.
Thirteen months later to day Boston
was visited by fire which extended over
an area of IS acres, burning the best mer-
camille buildings in the city and causing
a damage of $75, 900 900, On which there
was an insurance of over $65, ,00O, ,0O0.-

REDUCED IN RANK.
Sentence of Lieutenant Dean for Unbe-
coming Conduct.

Sentence of Lieutenant Dean for Unbe-
coming Conduct.
The findings of the court-martial that
tried Lieutenant Dean on charges of drunk
enness ard conduct unbecuming an officer
while he was on duty in the Yosemite Park
were made public yesterday. General
Ruger has approved the sentence, which is
that he be reprimanded by the Department
Commander and reduced in rank. His p0-
silion in the list of the regiments First
Lieutenauts will number fourteen instead of
ten as formerly. This penalty is inflicted
for conduct unbecOming an officer, but on
the charge of drunkenness he was adjudged
not guilty.
In his lengthy review of the case General
Ruger shows that he is not in sympathy
with the leniency which he thinks was dis
played by the court In conclusion the De-
partment Commander says:
1t Is not easy In all cases, to determine
whether acts admitted as contrary 10 good dis
eipline and also dlsRfaeefn 10 the service are OF
the class ulbecoming an officer and gentleman
In the legal sense. Ii seems clear, however, that
an act which Is contrary 10 good discipline, and
is essentially of such dIsCraceful nature that If
OF common commission by officers would neces-
safily bring upon them. and the service thereby,
deserved contempt OF Ilght-thlnking people, Is
unbecoming an officer and gentleman. IL is
the opinion of the reviewing authority that the
conduct Of Lieute Bant Dean. shown by the
evidence, was OF sucn KIND, and that the
court erred in judgment by Its finding OF mot
guilty" upon the second &c as preferred,
nd the substitution instead of "guiIty" of
the lesser included 0tfense of conduct 10 the
prejudice of good order aud military discipline"
Ii Is Il far inference from The evidence that The
conduct Of Lieutenant Dean, as stated in The
specification to the second charge, was due. in
part al least, TO undue indulgence III intoxicating
drink, and not wholly to folly otherwise.
lie is warned therefore OF Tie necessity for
selfcontrol hereafter, and adDOnished TO show
by future good conduct that his misdeeds of ,
day may well be forgotten by others in view of
his after devotion to duty and prOpriety Of de
