This note of warning, especially at
two o'clock in the morning, sent q
thrill though everyone who heard it, as
they all knew it meant fire.
1t proved to be fire, and big one,
as the startled citizens who rushed
from their homes, hotels and boarding
houses soon discovered, and q wild
rush was made to the scene of the con-
fagration, which proved to DO the
Cameron house, owned by Mrs. Frank
lin.
The fire was discovered ~ the
Waterman in one of the mills just be-
low the hotel, but as it had originated
in the kitchen at the rear, it was not
discovered until that portion of the
building was mass of flames. The
familiar shrek of the whistles had at
once aroused the lumbermen who
roomed It the hotel, and soon q motley
crowd of men was seen pouring from
the building in every direction.
The apartments of Mrs. Franklin
and her daughter were in that portion
of tho building over the kitchen and
near the servants quarters Before
the alarm was sounded the female por-
ton in the building had been awakened
by the dense volumes of smoke which
came pouring into their rooms. and it
was with difficulty they escaped sui

dren of their inheritance. The lee
turer gave the following conclusions:
L Drunkenness Is a vice, inebriety q
disease; the two terms must not be
COMPOUNDED. ;. The disease of in.
ebriety once established may be trans
mitted to the patients offspring either
in the form of the alcoholic diathesis,
epilepsy, chorea, insanity or even ten
dency to crime. 8. The child of an in

structural lesion has been established
is sure to inherit some nervous dia-
thesis 4. The only security against
this diathesis developing as inebriety
is lifelong total abstinence on the part
of the child s. Even the adoption of
this precaution will not absolutely
make certain that there will be no
transmission of the cachexia by the
child to his or her offspring. 6. To pre-
vent the development of tho alcoholic
neurosis in other directions-such ~
epilepsy - sudden excitement of the
emotions and sensibilities, such as
might be produced by corporal punish

be guarded against Z. In the prophyl-
axis of inebriety the principle to be
acted on with regard to children's train

IDLE, and as he disappeared from sight
q groan went up from the vast crowd.
This was changed to a glad cry, as
Jim was seen, through the smoke, to
stagger out of the door still tightly
grasping what proved to be the mani
mate form of Willie Franklin, with a
blanket wrapped around him. AS Jim
staggered out OF the burning building,
willing hands caught the boys form
and rushed to place free from smoke,
when it was found that he was unin-
jured, except from inhaling smoke, and
was soon resucitated.
When ths boy was taken from Jim's
arms, the fellow was seen to .stagger,
and those gathered around noted the
change in the man. His long hair and
whiskers were burned close to his head
| and face, and his flannel undershirt
was almost burned from his back,
while his overalls were still seen to be
on fire in many places. His hands and
face were also terribly burned and
! blistered. He endeavored to walk. but
again reeled like a drunken man and
fell to the ground where he lay as if
dead.
A portion of the crowd of men gath
cred around the form of Jim, anxiously
asking: els he dead?'
The poor fellow lay to all appear
ances dead man for a moment or two,
when he slowly opened his eyes and
tried to get up. He succeeded in get.

out:

At this juncture the boy, who had re.

Jim, I'm here, I'm all right Oh,

caused by Jim's frightful appearance.
Jim smiled and, by another great eff.
fort, he said:

He choked up, tried to cough and after
q moments rest reached out his burned
and blistered hand and huskily whis-
pered:
'Good-by, Billy-be-er-good- boy
and don't never-dri-drin-".
The excrtion was too much; there
was dry rattle in his throat: he
struggled as if to rise. and then fell
back to the ground-dead.

THE Yale faculty has prohibited the

1t is quite likely that many an OBJ

scene to the one described below, since
the characters are types that are dis

dialogue occurred in a thriving west

a corridor of the post office. A large,
feshy, indolent-looking man came in.

over his mail when his attention was
attracted by wordy dispute among a

A very small, bright-looking and
clipper man was doing nearly all the

thing his own way.

small man, with great vigor: Il care
not how much money q man makes, he
must use brains in investing it or he
will die poor. Isn't that so, colonel?'
The large man nodded indolently.
ANY fool can make money, but it
takes wise man to keep it," observed
the small man. oracularly. "A man
must read up and keep posted on
finance and business, especially if he
ventures on spe culation."
YES" assented the large man, maxi
ing movement to go, but the small
man would not permit it.
He backed the large man up against
the wall, took him by the button of his
coat and Held him there for several
minutes while he gave his views on
business and finance. During the dis
sertation the large man was manifest
~ uneasy, answering: Eyes" No"
and II shouldn't WONDER" almost at
random. When he finally escaped, the
small man marched away with an air

who he was.

TIL: WOMEN OF LONDON.

Their Curse Is blink, Resorted TO by All

Here at moments glance you may
see the distinctive curse of London's
poor. The women drinlf. Mothers,
daughters, sisters, wives, grown wom-

Nowhere in New York did see or

where in London is there public
house but the women will be as good
possible to overrate the influence, the
soul-destroying influence, this has had
upon the homes of the poor, for it is
by this, am convinced, that the idea
of right and wrong has come to be
hopelessly confused where it is not
absolutely lost. 1t is not uncommon
to find mother who since marriage
has been a faithful wife, and perhaps
before that virtuous girl, looking on
with Indifference while her daughter
'goes on the streets" and l., lost in the
unnumbered legion of victims hourly
sacrificed to the demon of vice. She
may regret the fact, as a mother in u

daughter marrying beneath her, but
there is no shock, no natural horror.
at the wanton marring of Gods fairest
handiworz, woman's SOUL In our
long worship of Mammon, the shame
of poverty and the shame of sin have
got confused; to the poor in their mis-
cry the burden of disgrace is but a
slight addition to the load they already
carry. - Lady Henry Somerset, in

A CURIOUS FACT.
Why no Temperate People Stand by the
Saloon?

Why NO Temperate People Stand by tho
Saloon?
The worship of rum is one of the
straugest Authorizations of the human
mind. Taking out of the great army
of worshipers those who traffic in
liquor and the drinkers, and there is
still left an immense mum ber-indeed
the majority-who do not drink and
who have no personal interest in the
Liquor traffic. Yet they are as bitter
against any movement that is made to
prohibit this ruinous business as if
they were. In Rhode Island and Penn
sylvania both, prohibition has been
voted down, and this practical worship
of rum by decent men is frequently
shown by the congratulatory remarks
made by the press and by individuals
The liquor business is curse. That
statement cannot be doubted by any
intelligent sane man; and when the
question is submitted to the people, in
dependent of partisan action. as it was
in the two states named, it would seem
as if there could be no doubt of a fav-
orable result. But the curious worship
of rum does the business Men who
do not drink, who despise rumseller,
who loathe a drunkard, who would not
employ or do business with man
, , whose breath smelt of liquor, vote to
legalize the traffic. Now what is the
reason? 1t is just this: Rum always
has been sold and is consequently an
old moss covered evil that commands
respect because of it's age. 1t is the
old story of doing as our fathers did;
it is the old story of fighting innova-
tions: it is the old story of accepting
old methods as certainly orthodox; and
we go on burying fathers and brothers
and sons in drunkards' gr ayes, because
that has been the way from time
whence the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary. 1t is the sub
