Fire Raging in Nashville.

NASHVILLE, Jan. 2.-One of the
most destructive CONGREGATIONS known
in the south broke out in this city to-
night. The fire is yet raging. Several
lives were reported lost and help was
wired for from Louisville and Chatta-
nooga. The strong wind blowing
made the outcome a terrible uncer-
tainty. The fire broke out in the block
between Church, Union, Cherry and
College streets and ate easterly
toward the Western Union Telegraph
company's office, located at tie corner
of College and Church streets.

A PICKPoCKET
Calmly swipes $3.50 and Gets Arrested for
His Trouble.


His Trouble.
Friday night, as the southbound
train pulled into Austin, Judge Mari
joined the crowd that made prepara-
tions to leave the train. He was the
happy possessor of $3.50 when he
started to leave the train, but when
he got out of the crowd he was minus
the money and cut pocket showed
the neat work of an expert pickpocket.
The matter was ut once referred to
Capt. Lucy, and he Immediately
wired to Round Rock to look
out for the thief, who was
known to have boarded the north
bound train. Officer John Kennerly
took the northbound freight which
went out about an hour after the
passenger, and on reaching Hutto
learned that the thief had Jumped
from the train between Round Rock
and Hutto, while resisting arrest from
the conductor of the train, who had
become suspicious of him. Officer
Kennerly Immediately started on foot
tOWdIu hOuuu nOCk III search OF MS
man, who he fortunately found on the
open prairie, suffering in
tense pain from a brok-
en- shoulder, which he
received from his jump from the
rapidly moving train He was immedi.
arely placed under arrest and brought
10 this city last night and gave his
tame as Am Jorden and claimed to be
from the northern part of the State,
and that he was a passenger on the
train bound for San Antonio, but
when he got the money he concluded
to take back track. He was taken to
the police station in rather a dilapi-
dated condition, and DR.. Graves
dressed his shoulder. The money
was missing and it is presumed that
he either hid 1T or threw it away
when he realized the surety of his
arrest or possibly he lost the 'wad''
when he jumped from the train. At
any rate the money is gone and the
man whom they claim is guilty is
under arrest.

THE HOME CORNER.

1t always gives women a sense of
genuine pleasure to know that other
women are fighting their way, over
many difficulties, and are beginning
to succeed. The natural obstacles in
a woman's way are abundant enough,
and hard enough to overcome and
society always has plenty of stones to
pile up in that rugged road. Women
physicians, for instance, what trials
have beset their path How often the
world has told them, in effect, that
they were convenient to send abroad
as missionaries, because they could
obtain access to heather homes while
men could not, and while ministering
to the diseased body could pour little
balm into the sin-sick soul. Beyond
this there was no encouragement.
Girls who presumed to study medi-
cine have been openly regarded as I'M
feminine, and women physicians have
had to battle against wind and tide.
But the battle has been q brave one,
thanks to the true American grit and
sturdy persistence with which these
women must be necessarily endowed
before they dared enter upon such a
work. And even as they go on the
way opens before them. The latest
and most pleasing concession is the
fact that the medical director of the
Worlds fair has promised to place
women upon his staff, and they are to
rank equal with men in the exposi-
ton hospitals. Truly, the way is
opening.
Nv
Among the new fields that have
opened before women is one which
has grown steadily in favor within
the last few years, though when the
scheme was first introduced they
were slow to take hold of it, or to be-
come enthusiastic about it. The
training school for nurses was first es-
tablished in New York, but new insti-
buttons for this purpose have grown
up in various cities, such as the train
ing school in Galveston, and wherever
they have obtained foothold they
have scattered blessings. Not that
this work is particularly attractive.
Nursing the sick is not the most agree
able thing in the world, but there is
always nursing to be done; and since
it must be done, how
much better to bring to the task all
the skill and dizziness and knowledge
given by education in that line! Many
who attend the training schools are
actuated by the simple desire to fit
themselves better for their own home
duties; but the greater mum Der are
girls and women who have chosen
this as their life work, and will make
their living by it. Those are stout
hearts that undertake this task, but
oh, it is worth the trouble! Think of
the sick room that is presided over by
one of these trained nurses, who
knows the secret of the quiet step, the
restful voice, who knows how to shade
the light, and smooth the pillow, and
cool the burning head; who is skilled
to prepare delicate dishes, and who is
housekeeper, nurse and physician all
at once! The world has work for these
women! There cannot be too many of
them, these skilful, tender women,
whose mission it is "To help and to
heal the sick world that leans on
themD

"Well, don't know" said the
middle aged gentleman, soberly.
"There are ever so many things that
I ought to quit, but quitting isn't SO

things L would like to work myself
out of little habit 1 have managed
to acquire without any trouble. My
wife over there could tell you all
about it, 1 think. l mean this
way of coming home tired and worn
out with business, and being silent and
dull or snappish and morose all the
evening. If 1 only know how to go
about getting rid of that habit, along
with several others! Swearing off is

there is but ore way, and that is to

On the last day of the old year,
word came that there were billiards.
and snow-blockades in the far north
west. There were no blockades of
snow here. That very day, lovely
Austin lady sent to the Home Corner
q bunch of beautiful violets; whole
summer in the perfumed breath, their
hues outshining the Tyrian purple.
Snowdrifts over the northern hills
and valleys, while Texas zephyrs
wooed the violets into bloom! There,
the Old Year gathered his snowy
drapery about him and wandered
deathward amid the bowling of the
wintry storm. Here, he sunk to sleep
like child upon its mothers breast,
and we strewed his grave with
violets.

And then the little schoolgirl over
in the corner read aloud from the old
