There are in this world people
who are opposed to everything,
unless they are at the head of it,
there are others opposed to any
thing that has a spirit of enter
prise about it, while there are
others who seem to have a kind of
natural, Unborn disposition to kick
at everything that comes along.
They are like big cans of dyna-
mite, ready to explode whenever
touched.

GEORGE w. ChlLps,

Sixty-Third Birthday Celebrated at Phila-
delphia-Lctter From Secretary Blaine.
PHILADELPHIA, May 13.--The sixty
third birthday of George W. Childs was
celebrated by the Typographical Union
of Philadelphia by banquet yesterday.
An innovation was introduced by hav-
ing the wives and sweethearts of the
printers present at the dinner. Among
the letters read was the following from
Secretary Blaine:
"You are among the very few-among
the precious class of men who with
great success have developed liberality,
charity and justice. Unhappily, great
success in the world is too often accom-
panied by growing selfishness, grow
ing disregard for the wants and suffer
ings of others. Your deserved eulogy,
my dear Mr.. Childs, is that your life
has been passed even more in making
others happy than in promoting your
own fortunes by the most honora BILE
means Greater eulogy than this hath
no man. The influence which hardens
the heart of many has constantly
widened your own benevolence and ex-
alted your own life.
"Belleve me, with profound apprecl-
aiion of your character, very sincerely
your friend, JAMES G. BLAINE"
Cablegrams were received by Mr..
Childs throughout the day from En-
gland, France and Germany and tele.
grams from all parts of the union.
Many floral tributes were sent to his
Office by printers and other friends dur.
| ing the day.

The first finger of the left hand is curled

Efforts Being Made to Have the italian
Consul at New Orleans Recalled.
NEW ORLEANS, May I'm. Corte,
the italian consul in this city, has ad-
dressed communication to w. w. Chat
fee, foreman of the grand jury, charg-
ing among other things that an extra
judicial body appointed by the mayor
from the beginning premeditated the
killing of the prisoners" This state.
ment has greatly offended the mayor as
the body referred to is none other than
the famous committee of fifty appointed
Immediately after the killing of Chief
Hennessy to investigate into and bring
the guilty parties to justice.
The same committee are now at w orls
on report which will give in detail the
connection with the investigation, the
work done by them and the causes of
their appointment. The report will be
submitted to the mayor and council
meeting tomorrow evening. On the
basis of the report the mayor will take
the necessary action leading to the re-
call of the Italian consul. NJ. Corte re-
iterates his charges and nothing now
remains but for the municipal authori'
ties to seek his recall.

Further Particulars of the Disaster TO the
Work Train mt Moore's Run-six Known
to Have Perishcd-Thirty Others Badly
Burned, Many of Whom VIII Die.
BUFFALO, N. Y, May IA later
dispatch from Austin, Pa, gives the fol-
lowing story of the burning of the
work train in the forest fire near thore.
The train had proceeded few miles
into the hemlocks when the intense heat
and binding smoke of the forest con-
hagration put an end to its further
progress. An attempt was then made
TO reverse the course of the train and
retreat from the approaching fire, but
It was too late. The train was over
taken by the flames. All hands jumped
from the cars and sought safety in
creek that flowed near by. Then came
an unexpected phase of the thrilling
experience of the men. The water in
the creek was boiling and those who
leaped from the moving train found
themselves in water which was nearly
scalding hot. There the terror-stricken
ire-ighters crouched while the tornado
Of fire and smoke rolled over ard be-
yond them. All but five of the party
escaped the fury of the flames in this
way, but the heat was so intense that
several of the number were badly
| burned.
Superintendent Badger did not jump
| into the boiling creek. He ran ahead of
the flames and was overtaken by them
and burned to a crisp. Four other men
| who followed him shared his fate. A
rescuing party went out after the fire
fighters. Thirty of the men were found
SO badly disabled that they were lying
about blistered, bruised and suffering
intensely. Fifteen of them are so badly
burned that they are expected to die.
Search was made Monday for the mis-
sing members of the party, but the only
body found was that of Badger 1t is
believed the missing men have per
ished.

DEVASTATED BY FIRE.

Irreparable Losses Sustained by Pennsyl-
vania Farmers - Miles Upon Miles OF
Fences, Orchards and Valuable Timber
Destroyed.
HARRISBURG, Pa, May 13.-Mountain
fires have been raging north and west
of Harrisburg, but there has been no
damage near the city. Railroad men
report disastrous fires near Tyron, and
also near Duncannon.
At Huntingdon over 400 acres of valu-
able timber lands are brn'ning. The
fires are beyond all human control and
can only be ex inguished by rainfall.
The sections suffering most are in east
Broadtop region, on Tussey's mountain,
Rays hill and Warriors ridge. The
farmers have sustained irrepara BILE loss.
Lockhaven is overhung by heavy
cloud of smoke caused by the forest
fires in several parts of the county.
Much valuable timber has been burned.
In the vicinity of Bellefonte the dam
age done by the forest fires is almost in
calculable. Along the Buffalo RIM rail
road the fire has ragged, burning miles
upon miles of fences, orchards and val
liable timber The fires still rage and
it is hopeless task to fight them.
