The steamer City Of Bridgeport left New
York Saturday afternoon as usual When the
boat reached point of Norwalk. Conn, pas
sengers observed flames bursting from the
floor Of the women's cabin. In second the
widest excitement prevailed. The passengers,
mostly women and children returning from q
shopping tour in New York, were panic
stricken. There was rush for life preservers
and women tainted. Many Of the men on board
lost their presence of mind and thought only
of themselves, some securing three life preserv-
ers while helpless women and children had
none. The officers on the boat were unsuccess-
ful In their efforts to restrain the passengers-
The crew was ordered TO the pumps but the
latter could not be made TO work for several
minutes.
In the meantime the flames which started at
the bottom OF the smokestaek, gained consid-
cradle Roadway. The captain ordered the pilot
to head for the Connecticut ghore and 10 keep
within three minutes run Of land and the engi-

at the pumps for half an hour and succeeded
In extinguishing the flames The passengers
could not be prevailed upon to remove the life
preservers fastened about their bodies until
the boat reached her whsrf in Bridgeport, when
the flames again burst out anew, but for the
second time were eXtinguished. As quickly ~
possible the passengers were landed. Many Of
the women had to be taken liz carriages 20 their

passengers say they thought their last hours
had come. They had started to cut loose the
life boats. The heroic work Of the crew alone
saved the boat from destruction and the pas

A BOLD BURGLAR WAS SHE.

manded Money or Life.
Woman's rights are not prevalent in Ger
many. but occasionally they break out in very
violent form. A few days ago the old livery
man Stoebe, sitting in the parlor Of his fiat in
Rxdorf, nea- Berlin, was surprised by young
burglar in workingman's clothes. The burglar
raised heavy hammer over Stoebe's head and
said: ''Give up your money or will strike you
dead" Stoebe shouted for help, but was felled
with blow from the hammer. He was still
conscious enough, however, to cling to the
burglars leg and call MURDER
During the struggle the police appeared and
the burglar, after desperate resistance, was
taken to the police station. When the burglar 8
SLOUGH hat was removed mass Of long yellow
hair fell down behind and some faxen frizzes
popped into view in 'front.' The burglar was
thereupon given for examination to the police
matron, who soon reported that she had in
custody a very handsome woman of about
twenty-five years, who had confessed that she
might rob Stoebe.
The burglar was in fact, the wife of q pros
porous master locksmith named KLEIN. She
is the mother of two children, and she and her
husband occupied the fiat opposite Stoebe's.
She called on Mrs. Stoebe often and learned
that ION the day of her attack upon Stoebe he
expected to have a large sum of money in the
house. She wanted a new cloak and gown to
wear at the wedding of her sister during the
holidays, and as her husband had refused to
give her the money for them she devised the
hazardous scheme described for getting the
amount needed to increase her wardrobe.

Chile and the Worlds Fair.

Lieut.. Harlow, commissioner for the worlds
fair in the republic OF Chile, reports to the
bureau of American republics that he has re-
ceived the most gratifying assurances from the
government Of Chile with regard to its repre-
sentation at tho worlds fair. He incloses a
letter from the minister OF foreign affairs at
Santiago, as follows:
"In reply to your letter and to our CONVEX
sation as to whether Chile would take part
and in what degree in the Columbian expo
sition that is ding to take place in Chicago, l
have the honor to tell you, after having received
orders from the president and the subsequent
instructions of my colleagues, that the govern
ment and the people of Chile will cheerfully
contribute to it.
..Ratifying. the request previously made for
100 meters OF space as necessary for the pro-
ducts of Chile, 1 have the honor to assent to
the three petitions that you presented in your
letter that have just replied to. .
las soon as my colleagues of industry and
public works, OF finance and of interior, to
whom it belongs to suggest the appropriations
and to order such means for the affair as they
may decide as proper for the subject, have
made arrangements it will give me pleasure to

Envelopes Printed by the Government

The United Typothete of America, an Or
ganization composed of employing printers Of
the leading cities and towns of the United
States, have begun movement to stop the
printing by the government of return cards.
on stamped envelopes without charge to consum-
ers. A memorial on this subject sent to mem
bers Of Congress by the New Orleans Typo
thete states that the quantity of printed en-
velopes thus supplied annually is computed to
be $50 100000. and the annual loss OF revenue
to the printers Of the country is $3.50, 900. The
memorial says: I'VE contend that the govern
ment has no right. under the authority granted
it, to set up opposition to private enterprise,
and to invade the field wherein private industry
works for its daily sustenance. If such power
is claimed under the general author
ity, to establish post offices and post roads,
then can the Postmaster General undertake to
furnish not only writing paper. but pens. ink,
pencils and all other forms CT stationery, with
out the use and convenience of which postal
communication would amount to naught, to
the complete destruction of that form of in
dustry which engages in such purveying. If
the government has the right to do this, why
not, on the principle of the happiness ard
welfare OF the multitude furnish food, cloth
ing and other necessaries of life. and at once
become a centralized and paternal govern
ment?"

NEW BEER LITERATURE.
An Authentic History of the Celebrated Bocn
Brought TO Light.


Brought to Light
From Munich, the city of beer and beer
drinkers, German historian has announced
discovery of interest to the beer drinkers and
philologists of the world. In a chronicle Of the
Bavarian capital written between three and
four centuries ago he has found the early
record of book beer and beer brewing in Munich.
At the beginning Of the sixteenth century .
young princess of the Munich court was sent
of TO Russia to marry the heir to the Russian
throne. She was 80 averse, however, to the
dark and morose crown prince that after many
days Of hysterical indecision she cut loose from
him abruptly and left with her suite for home.
She became i'll on the way and was obliged 20
stop over in Einbeck, famous for producing
the best beer in Europe. Az German doctors
do now, so her doctors did then, and recon-
mended the best beer as the best tonic. She
followed their Recommendation and recovered
When she appeared eventually in Munich again
her suite had been increased by the addition Of
an Einbeck brewer.
The princess at once had the court brew
house built near the royal residence, and there
il still stands giving to the world the matches
Hofbran as it first gave IL under the manage
ment of the princess imported Einbecker. The
house was near the outer walls of the CITY then
and not far from gate known as the Cos-gato
after the cos-beer, the finest Of Einbeck beers,
which derived its prefix from the abbreviation
of the names Of its distinctive superiority in
color. odor or sapor.
Cos-beer was brewed but once annually and
was drunk in May. But at the beginning Of
this century cos-beer was manufactured 90
much more thaR any other Einbeck beer in
Munich that in ordering it q person usually
called simply for "Einbeck," which soon be-
came corrupted into ''Einbock," and this be-
came .'ein Book" just before the revolution Of
1889. So a book, or goat. was made the sym
bol of the Ramona brew which originals had A
little real or figurative connection with goat
as Eipbeck had.

There were very interesting ceremonies Last
evening at the German Lutheran Church, Goth
and G streets northwest, under the control of
Pastor Drowitz, given to the Sunday school
children, numbering about 800. The gifts dis
tributed to the children were varied md at
tractive, and many Of them will no doubt be
treasured as handsome souvenirs Of the happy
occasion. The only drawback to the enjoy
ment was that the attendance greatly exceeded
the capacity of the hall, and many who had

the church school, Mr.. Fritz Imhoff, who has

COMMANDER b. II. McCALLA
The Unexec,rted Portion of His Sentence r
United by the President.

United by the President.
The President on Thursday last signed a
paper that sent thrill Of excitement through
the navy. 1t was aremission Of the unexecuted
portion Of the sentence Of suspension imposed
by court-martial upon Commander Bowman
H. McCalla, who was tried for cruelty to his
subordinates during cruise of the United
States steamer Enterprise, of which he was in
command. The court sentenced him to sus-
pension for three years and to stand still in his
grade in the meantime. Tho order carrying
this sentence into effect was approved May Is,
1890, and so the time specified had not ex-
pired by over sixteen months. Nine Office rs
have passed over Commander McCalla's head
during this PERIOD, and it is thought that this
incapacItates him from retiring with the rank
Of commodore.
1t has been known for some months that
strenuous efforts were being made to secure a
remission of the sentence by Com. McCalla 8
friends. who range throughout Washington g
social world. Old naval officers lent their aid
to this purpose and vast deal of pressure was
brought to bear upon the Secretary to secure
the desired end He maintained a negative
position, however. throughout, and refused to
take any step toward Com. McCalla's restora-
ton to duty. When his attitude became fully
realized Capt McCalla took his family and
went to Europe, where he now is. But the
efforts did not case.
Political influence, it is said, was directed at
the White House and the result was made ap-
parent Saturday. when, following out the line
laid down by the President the day before
Christmas Secretary Tracy signed an order
restoring Com McCalla to duty. 1t is not
known what will be given him to do. as he is
not within reach, but it is thought that the
officer will return to this country at once and
be given an assignment.
1t may be remembered that Com. McCalla
was tried for having struck with his sword a
sailor named Walker. The trial took place in
New York in April. 1880. and attracted a great
deal of attention. Com. McCalla has o house
in Washington.
