Now all Washington knows that it is

Mr.. Reed has been hosting the flag
only since last January. but is thor.
oughly in love with his work. He
handles the flag as tenderly as though
it were an infant and takes great pride
in keeping it in good condition. Be.
sides this regular fair weather flag, he
has another and smaller one which he
uses in inclement weather. These flags
are laid away every evening, upon the
adjournment Of the senate, in a box
which has rested in this roof ever since
July, 1854.
The flag never floats except when
the senate is in session. When a sen.

Same thing is done as soon as the senate
is officially notified of his death. Sever
al times it has been found necessary TO
make use of two or more men to raise
the flag, but this has only happened in
extremely windy weather.
This everyday business of hosting
the stars and stripes" says Mr.. Reed,
inspires me with very patriotic feel
ing, and think the flag of our country
should float over every public school
throughout the land There is nothing
like the sight of the American flag to
Undue the rising generation with
patriotism"
Away over at the other end of the
building, on the house side, Capt. John
I. Clancy has been raising the flag
for the last thirty-six years. He is en-
thusiastic on the subject of his work,
full of "reminiscences of his many years
service, and will on no account permit
anyone else TO perform the work,
which has become a second nature to
him. His particular territory, the

Are you living with purpose, is right,

Are your methods straight and squarei
Are your motives pure and fairi
Are you throwing life away9
Are you wearing false arra;'
Are you satisfied or not
With your lot?
Stop and think
There are many lives Just drifting from the
shore
Caring little where they go or what explore;
Lives that seem aglow with force,
Wavering in uncertain course,
Floating with the tickle tide,
Out on wild old ocean wide:
Sails Of paper, ropes Of sand,
Far from land

There are other lives pursuing fame and gold,
Powers scepter madly seeking, young and old
They are rushing blindly on,
Some excited others wan,
As the bubble shines and CLOVIS.

As they think.
Still another class Of painted butterflies
Fluttering idly in life's gentle summer skies,
Slipping only honeyed food,
Not care does life include
Pleasure seeking, transient bliss,
Life TO them a roses kiss
All its pity they must need
For indeed,
They don't think

Where the ship Of life could ever gently sleep,
Where the sunshine Of content,
Gilds the ripple love has lent,
To the bosom Of faiths sea,
Softly rocking you and me,

Mr.. Biand objected, giving. as bis
reasons that tho speaker did not repn-

The speaker stated that the rules had
not beeu'called up for the reason that
there was general order for 1 o'clock.
But Mr.. Walker still assisted and MR.

On this notion Mr.. buchanan, of

he withdrew the point.
Tho motion was therefore declared
carried. But then Burrows, of Michi

reconsider, which Mr. Springer moved
to lay on tho table. Again no quorum
voted, and that point was raised by Mr.
Burrows, who said he wished to give
the Democrats an object lesson on what

Tho fire alarm turned in from box "a
last night was promptly responded to
by the fire companies. and the laddies
were soon on the scene. The fire was
in the building formerly the canning
factory. near the gas works, but was
recently leased by the Virginia Asphalt
and Paving Comp.ny.
The fra had considerable hold when
the companies reached it, and while
they worked valiantIy, and displayed
the utmost skill ana expediency in
bringing their hose. to play on it, it was
OF little avail, and it was soon seen that
the only thing possible to be done was
to guard the flames and prevent them
from spreading.
Three continuous streams O, water
were kept on the flames from the time
the fire was reached till the building
was burned to the ground There was
an immense crowd assembled, but the
utmost order prevailed and no accident
occurred.
The first alarm did not arouse very
many, but when the call for the engine
was turned in there was a wholesale
rush, and the crowd probably mum bered
over thousand. The building was
total loss, as was large amount Of ma
chinery recently put in.
The building was large frame struc-
ture, three stories high, and though q
total loss, was not of great value. 1t
was the property of the xchange Build
ing and Investment Company. The
chief loss was the machinery of the Vir-
ginia Asphalt and Paving Company.
The entire machinery on the grounds
and the building was valued at $4,000.
Two large boilers of considerable
value were just outside the building
and were not seriously damaged. The
entire loss could not be estimated last
night. There is no insurance on the
machinery and the loss will fall quito
heavily on che Asphalt and Paving Com
pany
The origin of the fire is not known.
but 1t is thought to be the work of an
incendiary, as there was no one about
the building and it had not been in
operation in some time.
In less than two hours from the time
the fire was discovered the entire build
Ing was ~ ashes.NThe alarm was turned
in about 1O:45.

He Makes n Practical Talk to tho School
teachers.
The lecture delivered by Rev. DR..
Mayo, of Boston, before the teachers
yestt rday evening in the First ward
school building was practical and to the
point. DR.. Mayo is fluent talker and
holds his audience by his attractive
manner and deep thought. His subject
was: Something the People Expect of
the Teacher" He went on to show how
different people regarded the teacher.
and particularly tho educated public.
The things that the educational pub
lie expect Of a teacher are first that
they know the things they teach. Next
they should know the thing itself and
not the text book alono treating that
subject. Another and the third i'm
portant thing is to know human nature.
The American people are fore clearing
people and do not expect too much of
the young and inexperienced teacher.
They do not expect any moro that
teacher be perfect in his profession
at first than they do that tho lawyer OF
physician be experts in law and medi-
cine as soon rs they are graduated from
tho college.
Tho members of all the learned pro-
fessions are teachers. The lawyer at
the bar when he pleads to the twelve
jurors Is teacher, and the lawyer that
is the best teacher is tho one that wins
the case. just so with the other pro.
fessions. Christ when He was here
was called tho great teacher. But
.the journalist is tho most constant
teacher, instructing both in season and
out of season.
The Americans, unlike the Euro
peans, give every person chance to
enter whatever profession he chooses
without first having to pass an examin-
ing board of government officials.
America lets down the bars to all who
wish to enter, and the flttest survive.
DIR. Mayo will deliver a lecture to night
at the colored Methodist Church.

THE RAILROAD MEN.
Another Interesting Day of the
Confel ence.

The morning session of the Railroad
Mems Christian Association conference
met in the association rooms promptly
at $3.50 o'clock. The devotional exer-
cises were conducted by Jessie Blanton.
Tho question OF finance was then taken
up and reports presented by the various
committees, which sho we'd that tho
financial condition was on a sound basis.
The reports showed that q considera-
Die sum had been appropriated and ap-
piled to the organization of new socie.
ties, and for the distribution of tracts
and Bibles among railroad men from
Philadelphia to Bristol. and from Balti-
more to Cincinnati.
Tho question, "What is the Most
Successful Plan for Raising the Neces-
sary Amount to Defray Current Ex-
penses?" was discussed at length by
MIR. ii. 0. Williams and followed by
others.
The subject as to the best method of
collecting dues was very entertainingly
presented by Mr.. Thos. Johnson, who
advanced some very original and practi-
cal views on the subject.
The question of what constitutes q
well arranged and equipped building
was worry thoroughly discussed by Mr..
Geo. X Simple, who gave some valuable
suggestions upon this important ques-
tton. He advocated that tho rooms be
thoroughly equipped and supplied with
the best journals of this day, and that
every association room should have q
complete library of the best and purest
literature of the time.
The afternoon session was held in
Greene Memorial Church, and after the
usual devotional exercises tho pro-
gramme, which had been previously
arranged, was taken up and a general
discussion and presentation of views on
questions pertaining to tho evangelical
work participated in by quite number
of the delegates.
Some very interesting experiences
were related, and it was also shown that
the association is doing great work in
presenting the gospel in railroad circles
throughout the North and South.
