his wife and two children and a number
of servants had narrow escapes from
death. The house was filed with costly
furniture and tapestries. The building is
completely Quilted and the loss is estimated
at 100000.
The fire started on the first floor and
spread rapidly Almost immediately Mrs.
Belmont with her elder child rushed from
the building, just in time to escape the
flame that swept through the hall. She
informed the firemen that her younger
child and nurse were on the second floor
unable to get out. Ladders were run up
to the front windows and the iremen en-
tered. They were about to abandon the
search when the nurse and child were dis
covered at a rear window. The ladders
were shifted and both nurse and child
were rescued.
Maria Coffee, a chambermaid, stood at q
window on the third floor calling for help
until the smoke and flames surrounded her
and SO completely filed her with terror
that she got out upon the window sill and
chung with her fingers. Half blinded with
smoke, but with the courage born of de-
spair the girl chung to the stone until John
Sullivan, a fireman, saw her danger and

have right to demand of the government
it is that the dollar shall be fixed in value
to represent dollar in every market in

Referring to the tariff question Major
Mckinley said that Governor Campbell's
platform commits him to tariff for reve-
nue. only, unmindful of all other consider
atoms, not caring for the occupations or
industries of the people. A revenue tariff
raises revenue for the government A pro-
tective tariff would do that. But q reve-
tariff would only raise revenue, while q
protective tariff stimulates industries, en-
courages the skill and genius of American
citizens.
Major Mckinley quoted number of
articles that are cheaper to-day than under
the older order of things and said the
rebate on raw production for export has
been in every tariff since Washington.
The speaker said people talked about our
foreign commerce having left the seas
when the fact was that we had the great
est international commerce known to the
world greater than that of England and a
half dozen European powers. There was
deafening applause, as Major Mckinley,
who had spoken one and half hours, re-
sumed his seat.
Governor Campbell then made his clos
ing remarks in which he said Mr.. McKin-
ley had not pointed out why the wage
worker has not had an increase in wages
and that if there were any eighty-cent dol
lars in circulation the republican party
was responsible for it.

Irish affairs in the future will be in the
hands of COMMITTEE of safety" to con-
sist of five Irish members of parliament,

It was known at the Chicago convention,
but was not made public. The action was
taken for the purpose of ending the strug-

centrating the Irish leadership.

Entertainments.
PRoCToR's OPERA HOUSE,


ga Fair Rebel" was placed upon the
boards of Proctor's opera house last even
ing. 1t was greeted by large and appre-
ciative audience. Miss Fanny Gillette in
the role of the Fair Rebel. WAS popular
with the audience, as was also Captain
Johnnie, or Miss Belle Bucklin, especially
in her songs of Dixey's land Mr.. Edward
r. Mawson, who is also the manager of the
company, played the part of Colonel Ma
son with exceptional excellence. The
scene of the play opens in Virginia and in
the third act is transferred to Libby prison
in Richmond. Here is perhaps the most
interesting and exciting part of the play.
The inner life of the prison is presented
with Christmas celebration and Christ
mas present of a whole cigar to Colonel
Mason. The closing of the third act, with
the escape of Colonel Mason, ia the most
thrilling event of the play. The fourth
act concludes with a return TO Monteith
Manor and the end of the war. The feast
that the horse of the q. S. Orderly made
on the gersnium plants at Mon.eith Manor
forms an amusing incident of the last act.
1t may be added that this play has had a
long and successful run at the Fourteenth
street theater in New York and well de-
serves the praise and patronage of New
Haven people. 1t will be presented the
two remaining nights of the week with a

edy is satirization of sort of political
methods too prevalent in this country.

suddenly elected to congress and the ex-
periences of himself and his unsophisticat-
ed wife and daughter afford a wide scope
for the powers of the author. Mr.. Tim
