THREE ALARMS
| And But One Fire-Joseph Rosenfields
Barn Burns-The Loss.


Barn Burns-The Loss.
An alarm turned in from box IA
shortly after 9 o'clock this morning,
brought out the fire department to
the residence of Joseph Rosenfield on
Third avenue and Eleventh street,
where the 2-story frame barn in
the rear facing Eleventh street. was
found in mass of flames. Two
streams were put on and in a short
time the fire was under control, but
not before the barn was damaged to,
perhaps, the amount of $500. On
this there is an insurance of $500 in
the Phoenix, of Hartford, in Buford's
agency. 1t so happened that there
was no live stock in the barn at the
time of the fire, the buggies and
principal other articles down stairs
having been gotten out. There was,
however. some other goods, such as
storm doors, screens, etc, stored
there, which will amount to perhaps
5000. on which there was no insur-
ance.
Origin of the Fire.
just how the barn caught is not
known. A cook stove was set up
down stairs where girl was ironing.
She went into the house for some
thing, and on returning found the in
terror in flames. 1t probably caught
from defective flue in the second
story, as the whole upper part was
in blaze in no time. The barn be-
longing to S. +. Cooke, just across the
alley from the Rosentield structure,
also caught, but was kept wet down
and the loss will not amount to $50,
which is also covered by insurance.
The department did good work, as
without it the fire would undoubted-
" have spread to adjoining buildings
which are thickly built there
False Alarms.
Two early morning alarms were re-
Sponded to. both of which We're false
The first one at 2:30 this morning
was sent in by police officer making
his report from box 80 at Seventh
avenue and TwentV-third street The
second alarm was at 6:25 and regis
tered in the waterworks from box Is
at Fifth street and Seventh avenue,
though it did not alarm the central
engine house at all. 4 rear spring
on the hook and ladder was broken
on the way to the first down town
alarm this morning and in consc-
quence the truck did not get to the
Rosenfeld fire. but it was repaired
and was ready for work again before
noon.

Making Change With a Stranger.

Frank Cotton was going down Race street
the other day at $40 gait At the corner
of Fifth street a small boy stopped him and
asked him to give him two nickels for a
dime. The good natured Frank complied
with the request. 1t was all the change he
had with him at the time. When he got
down near Fourth, he felt thirsty and went
in and called for seltzer. Frank rendered
the dime in payment, when the man threw
it back, saying it was spurious. Luckily
he was acquainted, and he was told to make
it right next time.-Cincinnati Enquirer

About filters.

Two months ago if man wanted
a filter he would probably buy one of
two kinds-either Pasteur or a Gate
City Tor Zanesville.) Both were, and
are, good. The objection to the first
is its cost, and to the second, the
wearing out of the filtering discs.
Today, in the so-called "Rapid' y

points of both filters are combined.

GREAT INJUSTICE DONE.

The Removal of Miss Kane From the
Schoois-The Election.
The discussion of the removal
without cause. OF Miss Jennie a
Kane from the corps of public school
teachers by the board of education
at its meeting Saturday, has been
attended by much feeling, the gener-
al impression freely expressed on all
sides being that not only has great
injustice been done the lady in ques-
ton, but that when it is taken into
consideration the ground assumed by
the members opposed to the
teachers reappointment, it is con-
sidered little less than an outrage.
When the A p. y. organization
took it upon itself to run the schools
OF Rock Island, it was asserted by
many that once in control of the
schools discrimination against teach
ers of Roman Catholic faith would
follow. but others there were who
disclaimed belief in the employment
of any such tactics. In the light of
recent events the anticipations look

TIE Marianna Index of yesterday contained severe attack upon R. A. Greene, formerly of TIE TIMES force. Of course. we know nothing of the casus belli in this instance. We can only speak of Mir. Greene as to his con- duct while in our employ. During his connection with THE TIMES MT. Greene deported himself as a gentle man, and showed himself a compositor of above average speed and accuracy. The "legals' mentioned by the h. dex comprised two columns of solid nonpareil, and in all this matter there were not more than dozen errors, which is remarkably good work. When he left Forrest City Mir. Greene paid all his bills conscientiously leaving clean record in that respect. THE TIMES would have been glad to retain MT Greene if it had had the work for him to do. This fact alone was the cause of his departure.

IT is to be hoped a liberal response will be made by ex-confederates to the appeal for fund for the relief of the family of the late Gen. Kirby Smith There are eleven children, six of whom are girls. and only one of the five boys is old enough to engage in business which will yield contribution toward the support of the family. General Smith left his home at Suwanee, Tenn, heavily incumbered, and the United Confederate Veterans association pro- pose to raise money to pay off this in- debtedness. The object is certainly a meritorious one, and we hope to see the dependent ones of the last full Southern general soon placed beyond the reach of want.

Chicago the Main Exhibit.

It has been truly said by a talented espondent of the London Times, that in the great Columbian Exhibition the City of Chicago will form the main exhibit. Never in the history of city building has there been such marvel ous development. London and Paris were each a thousand years old before Chicago was dreamed of. At the time of the Great Fire, 1871, Chicago was a city of somewhat over 30O.OOO. The Great Fire swept through the city. de stroying the entire business portion and one-thrd of the resident district. con- verLing d business city into wilder ness of ashes and ruin between two successive sun sets. Now after twen- ty-one years. she is completely rebuilt with the largest aggregation of elaDo- rate and costly buildings to be found in any part of the world and has added over d million to her population during this time It is especially fortunate. and many of our readers will be glad to know, that there IS on exhibition on Michigan Ave, in the W orld'S Fair City. a cyclorama of the Great Fire III which the scenes and incidents of that fearful calamity are faithfully, and in a most realistic manner. presented Tor public view. From the central plat form of this remarkable exhibition one may see thousand acres of crumbling walls and red hot ruins; d thousand more literal sea of fire, while tens Of thousands of panic stricken people are fleeing for their lives. It is d scene of
 awful grandeur and indescriDable con | fusion, and is said to be the most clab-
 crate and expensive work of art ever produced. Let one stand within it and view the wreck. ruin and disaster about ! him; see what Chicago was twenty odd
 years ago, then take a walk through
