EMPIRE LAUNDRY BURNED.
The Building and All Contents DE
.stroyed-An Explosion.

The Building and All Contents De-
.stroyed-An Explosion.
The Empire steam laundry on Union
street, between Second and Third, was de-
stroyed by fire at 2:30 a. m.
Nothing was saved from the building,
and those having their laundry at the
Empire had better buy new garments.
The fire was caused by lamp explosion
in the engine-room of the laundry. At2:30
O'Clock a stranger passing down the street
saw flames shooting up through the roof,
and moment later man without scarcely
any clothing dashed out of the burning
building from a side entrance. His name
is George McMerty and is employed in the
laundry as Waterman.
He retired but ten minutes before the
alarm was sounded.
Within five minutes the tinder-like struc-
ture was mass of flames.
The fire department was speedily on the
ground, and had the fire under control
before the walls of the building fell to the
ground. Chief Kellogg was in command
and used great Judgment.
The loss is estimated at 81 500; insur-
ance in companies represented by Wright
& Jacobsen. 81 800.
The property is owned by Judge Thomas
Burke, and was leased by him to Elliott
Brothers. who sold out the business few
weeks ago to c. Doesenberry.
The New York block. next to the laun-
dry building, was in imminent danger
Four horses in a small stable in the rear
OF the laundry were removed by police
officers a few seconds before the stable
caught fire

Worms That Raise Tons of Sand.


Mr.. Darwin, q few years before his death.
made the non-scientific world familiar
with the work of worms in passing earth
through their bodies and with the won
derful results effected by them in q COM
paratively short space OF time. More re-
Gently Mr.. C. Dawson has followed I'D Mr..
Darwin's researches in this field
of science. Last year Mr..
Dawson examined the sands
between Holy Island and the coast of
Northumberland, a large fiat stretch Of
beach familiar to most persons who travel
by the east coast route TO Scotland. The
observer found that the number OF cast
ings OF sand thrown up by the lobworrns
gave an average OF 80 600. 600 to the square
mile. \ portion of the castings was
weighed. and the total weight thrown up
annually was thus shown TO be in some
at other points it was good deal
less than this; but in still other
parts il amounted to no less than 3.146
tons per acre. If all the sand thus passed
through the bodies of these animals in
the course of twelve months were spread
out it would give an average thickness Of
no less than thirteeninches. How many
and various are the changes produced in
the sand By the wonderful activ-
ity OF these industrious worms
It is impossible TO say. But il i
easy 20 see how the presence of such
creatures in large numbers operate with
other forces TO produce kind Of order on
the surface of the earth. and 10 replace
crudeness by beauty. The thing thar
strikes one most. however, is the rnsvni-
tude Of the results which can be produced
in short time when large number of
separate individuals work in cooperation
by the same methods toward the same
end

MIR. SPRINGER ON POLITICS.
why Blaine Was Beaten-Cleveland Not
So Strong Palmer.

New York. June f3.-William Springer,
chairman of the ways and means commit
tee OF the House of Representatives. says:
II Blaine had retired from the Harrison cab
met year ago instead OF on the eve OF the con-
ycntion without any tragic or stage effects L
do not doubt that he could have been noml-
mated. As II was, under all the circumstances,
his February letter and his sudden resignation,
his nomination would have caused serious dis
turbance<, il not open ruptures, in the party
Under all conditions Harrison is the stronger
candidate. I do not know that Blaine acted
treachcrously toward Harrison. Blaine has
been greatly impaired in body and mind for
many months and he listened to the fo1ery
representations of those on whose judgment he
relied. to the effect that there was great
popular demand for him as a candidate
This demand was imaginary. Harrtson's noIni-
nation was fair one and he is a fair representa-
tive of Republican principles, but Mckinley's
nomination would have been more honest
acknowledgment OF their faith In protection
and would have made distinctive part OF the
Republican policy. With the present uncer-
tainty as to the popularity OF the Mckinley law
the Republicans hesitated. and even fearei to
make him the representative OF the party policy
With Harrison as a candidate we can make tar
iff reform the issue. II Blaine had been nomi-
mated we would have had an insincere Republic
can campaign, full of buncombe, reciprocity,
personalisms and sensationalisms Blaine was
overreached- That which he supposed to be a
demand for him was only another means OF ex-
pressing personal resentment to Harrison by
some of the leaders of his campaign.
The delegates TO Chicago will be men who are
cool-headed and whose judgment is not 20 be
moved by imaginary demonstration of popular
enthusiasm, but will exercise their judgments
as to what is best to do. Ii, after weighing the
situation carefully, they come 10 the conclusion
that Cleveland can carry New York state aud
the country they will nominate him. The states
which are doubtful and essential are New York,
New Jersey and Indiana II is absolutely neces-
sary for us 10 carry these three states. In Ilii-
nois the popular sentiment is for Palmer first
and Cleveland next. / think Palmer has good
show for the nomination. He is man OF the
people, is right on all great issues, In good
health, available, has good record, and can
carry Illinois without doubt and render Wis
consin, Indiana and Iowa extremely doubtful
He is my personal candidate. II we lose this
election don't expect to live long enough to see
the tariff reformed
Springer said he doubted if Cleveland
was the most available candidate, owing
to the alleged hostility to him OF the old
soldiers, Farmers Alliance and the New
York party machine.

Sarah Bernhardt's Coyness.


Paris has been in its customary excite
ment about Sarah Bernhard and wants to
know what are her plans and what are her
intentions. The fact Is that negotiations
almost diplomatic in their delicacy and
tinesse are just now in daily progress. The
manager of the Theatre Franchise wants TO
get Sarah back into his company He
knows how she draws and he likes TO
see his treasury full. On the other
hand. Sarah wants to join the Fran
caise. She knows the value Of that stage
and its prestige all over Europe and
America. And now, both parties wishing
the same thing. and there being no incom-
pa'olIltles, 1t might seem easy of adjust
ment. On the contrary, il is extremely
difficult, 80 difficult that both parties have
nearly given it M. What is stranger still
Is that money Is not the difficulty. Sarah
says she will be content with what Co
quelin gets and the manager knows she
IS worth great deal more. The truth is
that both parties know perfectly well each
others game, and each Is afraid 70 be out

THEY WONT USE THEM.
The Cute Little Postal Cards Made for
Women Not In Demand.


The postoffice department. presided over
by John Wanamaker. is nothing if not
gallant to the women. 1t has been so
kind as to get out cute little postal
card, 81 inches wide and 4 inches long,
especially, but not exclusively, for fenii-
nine use. When they were first put
on sale it was thought there would
be great rush for them. and billet doux
three and halfinches wide by four inches
long would crowd the mail sacks. But
the women did not rush and the little
cards are not in the push. They are
attractively printed in blue ink, with
corner and a little blue shield at
the top near the center. But neither the
photograph of Mr.. Grant nor the
more fanciful decorations of the
cards have been successful in creating
a yearning in the feminine heart for
them. The superintendent of the
stamp department in the Kansas
City postofiice said of them today: They
sell very poorly in comparison with the
larger sizes. DC ;asionally a lady asks
for nickel's worth, just to try
them, but there is nothing
like demand for them.
Very few ladies use postal cards at ALL
Those who do SO are mostly business
women, and the business woman
wants to be just as big and bold as man,
and will have no insipid, effeminate
trifing in the way of miniature

card was intended a. a convenience for the
ladies. but they don't seem to appreci-

ATHLETIC GIRLS.
Pretty Scenes in Boston School Of

gentlemen as spectators; and whenr dur

they are merely means to al end and are

SHOE CLERKS GET OFF.
Devine's Charge OF Libel Is Not sus-
tanned.


The charges of criminal libel which c.
Z. Devine, the shoe merchant at 500 Front
street, caused to be brought against nine
shoe clerks several days ago. were dis
missed last evening by Justice Won TobeI.
The nine clerks arrested were Herbert
Raymond, Stanley Mankowski, J. j. Rose,
John Crawford, Samuel W. Means, Grant
Pitman, George E. Derby, Benjamin H.
Pitts and Samuel Rucker. They were
charged by Mr.. Devine with "maliciousiy,
wickedly, premeditatedly and wrongfully
entering into conspiracy to iniure his
business, and provoke him to wrath and
expose him to public hatred, contempt and
ridicule, and to deprive him of the benefits
of public confidence and social inter-
course"
As has been heretofore stated in the
PosT-lSrELLIGESCER, the arrest of the clerks
grew out of an attempt TO boycott Mr..
Devine for not closing at o'clock every
evening. He signed an agreement to close
at that hour, but owing to dispute as to
the terms of agreement, which were
verbal. he keeps open. His action caused
the clerks to issue circulars and have
painted transparencies setting forth that
Mr.. Devine had repudiated his own sigma
ture and therefore should not be patron
lied. The clerks claimed that L. A Treen
d Co., Simison Bros. Olcoyich Bros. III.
Jones, NJ. A. Cox & Co., George 2. Ray
mond & Co., ]. Lesser. \. ". Shoe Com
pany and Charles Eggert & Co. had
signed the agreement under the same
terms as Mr.. Devine ard were closing at q
o'clock every evening.
Each of the nine clerks gave bail as
soon as arrested, and engaged an attorney
to defend them. Yesterday afternoon the
cases were called for hearing before Justice
Won Tobel, and when the prosecution had
all of their evidence in the clerks attorney
moved that non-suit be entered on the
ground that the information did not
state any offense," and that mo unlawful
act had been committed" The motion
was granted. and the costs of the action
were taxed TO Mr.. Devine.
The clerks were very jubilant over their
dismissal, and their victory evidently
made them very confident, for when it was
discovered that Mr.. Devines store was
again open after o'clock two Transparent
cies were made and boys were hired to
parade them about the streets. One of the
transparencies read:
-..---..-.---.--....
DO not pasronlZe shoe houses after s p m.
And on the other side was painted the
words:
s.,.-..-.-
NorkinEmeI, help us in maintaining the
early closing movement.
.-.-.--.-.- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
The other transparency read:
.'''' NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Do not patroniEe shoe merchants kearing
open aitsE 2. H., AMI thus discourage OBJ
stinscy.
-....-.s.---.
The clerks evidently mean to keen M
the Pace Until Mr.. peyine consents to close
his place OF business al O'Clock. Its
not known exactly what steps Mr.. Devine
Will take. Ii was whispered around last
evening that the clerks are having painted
a large number Of transparencies, and If
Nj pevlne's place is open this evening
they Will be paraded about the city.
