Under the 'leave to print rule of the
House of Representatives five Democratic
members, who offered successfully one
chapter after another, succeeded in getting
the whole of Henry Georges book on pro-
lection and free trade printed in the Con-
gressiona Record one day last week. The
Republicans were enough for them, and
they followed by getting printed in the
Record several strong documents on the
protection side OF the question filling sew
eral pages in the Record. Then the SEN
ate and the House concluded that this
foolishness had gone far enough, and on
Tuesday action toward shutting it off in
future was taken in both branches.

THE STORM AT CHICAGO.
A seven-story Building Blown Down and
Three Persons Killed.


CHICAGO, April AIT about $50
o'clock yesterday evening the sky,
which had been threatening all after
noon, became black as night and in an
other moment terrible cloud burst oc-
Cured. The wind blew at hurricane
rate and drove the rain in sheets along
the streets, sweeping every movable OBJ
iect before it. The wind was of cyclonic
force and at the corner of Halstead and
Pearce streets tore down a house and
killed three people. Serious damage is
reported in various parts of the city. but
it is not vet known if other casualties
have occurred.
The building at Halstead and Pearce
streets was a seven-story brick struct-
ure. 1t was surrounded by one and
two-story frame and brick buildings,
on them instantly crushed out the lives
of three unfortunates and fatally or Sc
riously injured many others.
Gus Dych, a teamster, while driving
along one of the streets in the path of
the storm was struck by a falling tree
and severely bruised about the head and
shoulders. Charles Hester, at work on
a new building, was blown from scat
folding and sustained severe internal
injuries, which may result fatally.
The following are known to be buried
in the ruins of the Gowan house and
are undoubtedly dead:
Mrs. Sarah Gowan; William Gowan,
aged 10; Mrs. Mary Walsh: Samuel
Evisdale, of Joliet, Ill.
In two of the demolished houses up
set stoves set fire to the ruins, but be-
were extinguished.
At 10 Pearce street Thomas Allen
lived with his wife. his nine-year-old
daughter Lizzie. and his eighty-year-old
father-in-law, Jacob Jacquet. Miss Lo-
dena Roch was making a call on the
family at the time of the accident.
When the place at No. 10 Pearce street
was struck it was thrown against the
Allen home. A marble slab pinned Mr..
Jacquet to the floor, but he soon re-
leased himself Mrs. Allen and her
daughter were crushed under mass of
debris, but the former managed to re-
lease herself and her daughter.
Miss Roch was pinned to the floor by
a mantel-piece and when she succeeded
in escaping from under it the dust was
so dense she could see nothing, and,
stumbling. she fell on the stove. In
her great fright she did not realize her
situation and was frightfully burned
before she was discovered by Mr.. Jacquet
and led from the building.

The school teacher had invited his
oratorical friend to visit his school and
while there he addressed the scholars.
His remarks were histrionic and in the
course of them he ran across Julius
Caesar.
1t was a time OF tumult in Rome. the
Eternal City-you all know where
Rome is. children" he said. and Cesar
was away in the north fighting. He
knew strong hand and brave heart
were needed there, but none dared to
make the momentous step and he hest
tated to rush where others feared to
tread. Beyond the Rubicon Cesar heard
the din of discord and at last he came
down to the banks of that classic stream
and looked toward the capital city. To
march thither meant victory or death
and Cesar crossed the Rubicon. Yes,
children. the die was cast and Cesar
crossed the RubicOn. And why did he
cross the Rubicon? ask you children,
weak and wavering between right and
wrong. why he crossed the Rubicon?

worst storms ever known in this section
has been raging since early morning.

as to how longevity can be encouraged.
A Connecticut railroad treasurer who
died few years ago in his i0lst year, and
who worked in his Office every day until
Tooth birthday, said he attributed his long
life to the fact that he had never allowed
. pound of bolted -four In the house, and
had never in his long life tasted bread
made from bolted -four. Another old gen
tleman who had reached the ripe age of 90
years thought he owed his long life TO the
fact that during the last forty years Of IL
he had taken his toddy regularly three
times q day. Another sAid his long life
was due to his regular hours, and when
told that Peter Cooper was irregular In his
hours, ate late suppers, etc, and still lived
to within a few year. of a hundred replied:
''Well, If he'd been regular he might have
fingered over into his second century"
Gladstone insists that he owes HE long life

his perfect digestion to the fact that he
never swallows bolus Of food before he

The Reward.

Who, looking backward from his manhood
prime
Sees not the spectre of his misspent timer
And through the shade
OF funeral cypress planted thick behind
Hears no reproachfui whisper on the wind
From his loved deadg
Who bears no trace of passions evil force:
Who shuns thy tooth, o terrible remorses
Who does not cast
On the thronged pages of his memory's book,
At times q sad and half reluctant look,
Regretful of the past!
Alas! the evil that we fain would shun
We do, and leave the wished for good undone;
Our strength to-day
Is but tomorrow's weakness, prone to fall
Poor blind, Improbable servants all,
Are we alway.
Yet who thus looking backward o'er his years
Feels not his eyelids wet with grateful tears
If he hath been
Permitted, weak and sinful as he was
To cheer and aid In some ennobling cause
To help his fellowmen.
If he hath hidden the out-cast or let in
A ray of sunshine to the cell OF sin,
If he hath lent
Strength to the weak, and in an hour or need
over the suffering mindless of his creed
Or home, hath bent,
He has not lived in vain and while he gives
The praise to Him in whom he moves and lives
With thankful heart,
He gazes backward, and with hope before.
knowing that from his works he nevermore
Shall thenceforth part.
