MORNING BLAZES.
Burke's Nataturium In Ashes-The
Washington Theatre Heated
Another False Alarm.

Atl:3O o'clock this morning an alarm
of fire was turned in from box 43 corner
of San Pedro avenue and Locust street
and the fire apartment was soon at the
scene of disaster. finding Burke'S nata-
forum, near the Springs. to be in flames.
Every endeavOr possible TO save the
structure was made by the tiremen hut ii
was too late and their labor was of no
avail. the fire having been burning quite
a long time before the alarm was sounded
The cause of the fire is not known but 1t
is Mr.. Burke'S belief that the building
was set fire to by a gang Of vagabondS
who have been lodging there and who
were driven from the house the night
previous. The loss is eStin ated at about
5000 Uarrlp covered by insurance with
the firm of EichliUz & TObin.
AT 10 O'Clock this morning another
alarm was heard peaIing forth cryS for
help, being sounded from box 26, on Mill
tary plaza. The cause was the burning
of a chimney in the Washington theatl e
building on the corner of West Commerce
and Laredo streets. The department
soon responded but before their arrival
the hlaze was eXtinguished, with but a
small loss.
me la>t alarm up to the time OF going
to press was from box "a. corner of Hidal-
90 and East streets. This too called out
the fire department but the boys, finding
nothing TO work on, returned to their
houses. The alarm was false one.

The Washington Life Ins. Co

The thirty-third annual statement
OF the Washington Life Insurance
Company presents the usual array OF
strong points, that can not fail to
sire ngthen the assurance of any who
would enjoy sense OF perfect security
in the protection life Insurance Is
designed to furnish for family, and
the provision it is intended to afford
for old age.
The uncertainty of life and the
vicissitudes of fortune, make it not
only desirable, but indispensable to
the comfort of those who are insured,
and those who intend to be, that the
ground of their confidence should be
unquestioned.

Gated case-Heavy Damages
in Judge Kings Court.

Judge Noonan was engaged all morn
ing in the trial of a suit entitled +. J
Beitel against Annie Mcdonald and
others, on injunction case based on the
following allegations: Miss Mcdonald
had obtained judgment against L. j
Beitel for 500 damages for the wrongful
suing out of an attachment. and tn al
$500 for debt and breach OF
contract. That before Beitel of
tanned his judgment counsel on both sides
had agreed that execution on her iudg-
ment should not be issued until the iudg-
ment had been formally recorded in
BeitefS suit against her, and on account
of this agreement BeiteI did not appeal
the case and wherein judgment was rem
dered against him. That Miss Mcdonald.
transferred her Judgment to her attorneys
Houston and johnson, before the rendi-
ton of the judgment in favor of Beitel
and that they had execution issued on it.
This suit is brought to prevent the levy

whether the transfer was fraudulent or

And you unwisely damned the Dutch

They're asking now for scattered votes
A dollar and six bits,
Besides we have to clear their threats
With bourbon, rye and Sleitz;
And these are costly, for myself
Have taken them all in.

Well civilize with gin.
So starch again that upper lip

monument at Springfield, ILL.,, says in part:
Abraham Lincolns tomb at Springfield has
fallen from its high place as the shrine of a
mighty nation. The spot where rests the
earthly tenements Of one Of the greatest men
in American history is fast falling into decay,
and the stately monument erected at the capital
OF Illinois to commemorate the love Of people
is SCARED and mutilated from the attacks Of
vandalistic relic hunters. The man whose
courage. patriotism and invincible faith in the
right enabled him to reunite the dismembered
United States and to give freedom to 1900. 900
slaves now lies under the tottering walls of a
towering mausoleum whose stately halls are
filled with rubbish, sometimes called relics,
and which are exhibited in true dime museum
style by custodian at IS cents head.
''How long will the pride of the American
people permit such condition Of affairs to
exist? II there is any one spot in the nation
which should be esteemed holy ground and
jealously guarded from proclamation surely
1t should be the spot where rests the great
emancipation. And yet although the abuses
which now exist and fill the hearts of patriotic
visitors with modification and rage have been
apparent since the monument was completed
nineteen years ago. not a move has been made
nor an intention manifested on the part of
those in control to rectify them. To the credit
of the state Of Illinois, and especially to the
honor Of Chicago, this dissertation of President
Lincoln's grave has reused one of its citizens.
Charles L. Hammond has set the ball rolling in
the shape of a petition, which will be presented
to this general assembly, requesting it to take
such measures as will result in the completion
OF repair and proper maintenance Of the mon
