ALMOST ASPHYXIATED.
Narrow Escape of Tenants of a Ho-
boken Tenement-Alleged
Carelessness.

About one hundred tenants in the big
apartment house, No. SOB Grand street,
Hoboken, narrowly escaped being suffo-
Gated by escaping gas early this morning.
AS 1t is, several of the tenants are seri-
ously i'll from the effects The landlord
of the house by his extreme carelessness
is responsible, and he may be arrested.
Shortly after midnight an excited ind1-
vdual rushed up to Policeman Quinn on
Grand street and told him that the house
at No. SOB was full of escaping gas. The
policeman ran to the house and knocked
at the door of each apartment,
arousing the inmates and telling
them to make haste to leave the house.
The big house was soon vacated, and the
tenants excitedly discussed their narrow
escapes on the street. The smell of gas
in the rooms and Railways was overpow-
ering.
Several of the female tenants COM
planned of dizziness and one of them
tainted. They were revived and spent
the remainder of the night in the neigh
boring houses.
Henry Seemers, who keeps grocery at
No. sol Grand street, owns the house No.
SOB The tenants expressed their opinion
OF him in emphatic terms. Yesterday
afternoon one of the tenants detected
the odor of gas and going into the cellar
discovered big leak in the metre. He
went to Seemers' grocery store next door
and told Seemers what he had discov-
cred. Seemers examined the metre, but
did not notify plum ber.
After Policeman Quinn had succeeded
in arousing all the tenants he went to
Seemer's house and was told by that
gentleman to mind his own business.
This morning a plumb was at work
repairing the leak. Several of the ten
ants have notified Seemer that they are
going to move.

Armies In fiction are much moro
interesting and consistent than they
are in reality, the Listener thinks
In the first place, officers OF the same
grade always have the same general
characteristics, so that one can see at
a glance the part they are destined
TO play in drama or story. Here.
for instance, Is your general OF flction.
He is always very grand; hasn't very
much to say, and generally wears
mustache and white side whiskers-
He Is not, however, SO strongly indi-
yidualized as your colonel. A colonel
lin story-is always very tall,
spare, elderly, and generally stlff in
the knee-joints. Sometimes he is Ill
natured, but is capable OF great mag
nanimity and generosity. Always
bestows his blessing on young people
at the right place-and is frequent
ly imposed upon by them. He inva-
riably has resources outside of his
pay, and is never dissipated. Your
major of Action, on the other hand
there are no lieutenant colonies in
novels-is bad egg In harmless
way. He is much given to the flow
inc bowl, and always has a fiorid
countenance as result. He is short
of stature, and given to strutting. Is
a terrible talker, brags a good deal,
and says "Egad!" on all occasions.
He fights, but in a comic way; he
sneers at civilians, and is always in
need OF money. Captains are of two
sorts, in novels. One sort is the
somewhat elderly captain, who does
not get on very well in the service.
He is always bluff, generally good
looking and frequently dissatisfied
with things. He is Of medium stat
ure. The other kind of captain Is q
dashing young fellow, a sort of glOri-
fled lieutenant. The rank OF lieu
tenant Is the most important in fic-
zion. Economically, heroically, the
lieutenant outranks the field mar
shall. In point OF physical beauty he
surpasses all the rest of the army. In
battle, the duty Of leading charges
falls upon him in special way. He
Is generally poor, but always wears
good clothes, of course. In horse
manship and magnanimity he excels
all other grades in the service. Wom-
en- seldom fall in love with any officer
but lieutenant, though the major Is
the prey OF designing widows. As
for the non-commissioned officers,
there are great differences between
porals efficient and witty. Armies
could not get along at all without
corporals. One gets the impression
that they rather run things, and that
commissioned officers are merely for
social purposes and for leading
charges. Thus the army in novel
and drama pretty picture on the
whole.

Impromptu Definitions.

The young idea is not always en-

turned upon the difficulty Of satisfac-

that he was expected to see, hear, but

You often hear the question asked:
When should a woman begin TO show by
her attire that she no longer considers
herself young? Some would say thirty
five, others forty But, of course, it is
largely a matter of complexion and
figure. Many women ere more beauti-
full at thirty-fve than they are at
twenty-five, but that would be no eX-
cuse for continuing to dress like young
