MIDNIGHT FIRE.
Phillips Drug Store Badly Damaged
by the Flames.
The Spontaneous Combustion of Chem
icaIs In the Workshop the Cause
of the Con1agration.


Just as the town-clock struck the hour
of midnight last night, a RECoRD-UNIoN
reporter who happened to be passing the
corner of Sixth and x streets was startled
by loud report. In an instant after
ward there was crash of breaking glass
and an immense fame Of fire shot out of
the window on the Sixth-street side of
Phillips drug store.
Spontaneous combustion was undoubt-
eddy the cause.
In a few seconds men were rushing
about yelling Firer' Two or three ran
down to the Hook and Ladder house, half
block distant, and others turned in an
alarm.
The fire spread rapidly, and the avn
ing was soon mass of flames. The hook
and ladder was on hand before the fire
bells rang, but, of course, could do
nothing until the engines arrived.
In about five minutes No. l engine and
hose-cart was at the scene, and minute
later No. company was on hand.
Three lines of hose were Immediately
stretched, and the work of subduing the
fire began.
Phillips workshop was mass of
flames, and the fire had followed the
awning around to the front OF the Dulld-
ing. The streams of water were played
on the burning chemicals, and for some
time seemed to have 10 effect upon the
flames. The stock in the cellar ignited,
and the plank sidewalk was torn up in
several places.
The roof of the barber shop adjoining
the rear of the drug store then took fire,
and it finally spread to Flohr's gun shop.
The awning on the Sixth-Street side was
also on fire as far as .Atwood's saloon,
and the Chinese laundry was in 1mmi-
nent danger. The heathens rushed out
of their hunks, dragging baskets OF
clothes after them, while other parties
carried cans OF powder out of Flohr's
place. Officer Maley lugged a lot of
powder out of the store and sheetiron
safe containing explosives.
The three streams of water were by this
time doing good service, and in the course
of an hour the flames were subdued.
Then the smoke began to roll out and the
buildings were hidden from view.
By l o'clock sthe fire was completely
under control.
The drug store and the buildings adj
joining on the rear were the property of
Mrs. /. Joseph, and the damage will
probably be several thousand dollars.
The upper story of the drug store was
damaged somewhat.
Captain Lee and officers Maley Nc
Jaughlin and Gibson were on hand and
did good service in keeping the crowd
back

IMMIGRATION LAWS.
Decision Rendered by the United

Decision Rendered by the United
States Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-An opinion OF
importance in its construction of the inn
migration laws was rendered in the
United States Supreme Court to-day in
the case of Nishimura Ekin, japanese
woman, to whom entry into the United
States was refused by the immigration
officers and the Collector at San Fran
cisco, on the ground that she was likely
to become public charge. The ruling
of the immigration officers was contested,
and it was sought TO have the Federal
Courts, on application for writ of habeas
corpus, review the facts of the case. The
Government contended the ruling of the
Treasury Department, with reference to
the entry Of immigrants, was final. and
not reversible by the courts. This con-
tention of the Government the Supreme
Court to-day Sustains.

Rosa Rnnhe111,.

Rosa Bonheur's early life was one of
lncessant toll. Her first picture, 1.-Two
Rabbits was painted in an attic. in an
old street which has since been merged
in tie Boulevard Malesherbes. When a
very young girl, the now famous artist
used to steal away from home fer the
purpose of gazing at a gorgeous sign Of a
neighboring butchers shop, which had
the proprietor's name painted on it in red
and gold, and was further decorated with
rude picture of a boar's head. Mile.
Rosa, as she is atfectionately called by the
peasants who live near her home on the
edge of the Fontainbleau Forest. is de-
scribed as a woman Of large physique
and commanding presence, whose face
denotes strength OF character combined
with great amiability.

Worth is good model to describe, as 1t
gives an idea of novel effect SO much
striven for and yet not to go beyond
the bound of good taste and Judgment.
A wool crepon of a peculiar new dull
shade of brown has a full plain skirt
living some ten inches on the floor.
Three narrow bands of petunia velvet
are edged with Jet and mink.
A short zouave Jacket of petunia
velvet rests over a vest of rich brown
bengaline, the draping of which comes
from the side seams and is tied in a knot
at the waist, the ends hanging to the
knees. A graduated rufhe of silk comes
in cape fashion from the shoulder. Full
puffs of velvet are on the upper sleeve.
the silk forming the lower part, below
the elbow. Variations of this model
are seen on the newest, most effective
costumes For evening gowns more
decided empire effect is given, OF which
l will give some descriptions later.
A smart gown for afternoon recep-
tions there nlustrated) is made OF
reseda face cloth. The skirt has Dor
der and side panel OF black applique
velvet in a simple loop pattern, out
lined with a dainty silk braid (see
illustration). The lighter loops are
meant to indicate lace outlined in the
same way, giving shadow effect. The
bodice is treated in the same way, ac-
cording to drawing.
We have to again congratulate our
selves upon the beauty, comfort and
usefulness of the winter wrap.
The short cape-pretty as it was
has been superseded by a longer model
which affords more protection. Fur
capes have been heightened anywhere
from waist to knee length, while cloth
mantles are usually made to reach the
knee or even lower.
There are many models to choose
from though the one presented here
combines some of the best features.

The mink and sable collarettes, intro
duced two years ago, have taken the
town by storm. They are very pretty
and effective, but would not advise the
purchase of an expensive one, as now
they are made SO cheaply that they are
within the reach of all-which means
their abandonment by people of con-
sentative taste.
We are shown, two buttoned gloves
in English box colors as the latest
novelty of that department, and now
that even tailor gowns are made with
sleeves the extreme length and an inch
of cuff below that, two buttons are suf-
ficient, though novelty is the point and
not utility. T. +. B.
