In witness whereof, we point with

wherein the people of Queen Isa-
bella's court talk in the slang OF

The heat broke the windows
and blistcred the walls of the ad-
joining tenemente, the occupants
of which fled for their lives. The
fire waa practically confined to the
factory, only damage by water
being done to the buildings i'm
mediately adjoining. When the
south wall fell a few minutes after
4 O'Clock, a hombardment of bricks
destroyed what paint the heat had
not b.istered or broken in the faces
of the houses across Thirty-eight
street.
When the fire was at its height
It lighted up the town for miles
around. Every window in the
neighboring blocks was filled with
spectators and a great crowd gath~
cred as near as the police would
let them in the adjacent streets.
simultaneously with the falling
of the south wall the east wall fell.
The tower fell a few minutes las
ter, but broke III two in the process

of the wall. When both east and
south walls had fallen, Thirty
eighth street was covered one or
two feet deep with brick, while
the west half of Second avenue
was impossible to vehicles. 1t was
some time after the fire before a
passage could be cleared for the
Second avenue horse cars.
No one was injured at the fire,
The loss WAS large. The factory

Evacuation Day.

1t not only happens that tosmor-
row is the anniversary OF the evac-
uation of Richmond by the Con-
tederates, but it is also the exact
day Of the week when the most mos
mentous event in the history OF our
city occurred.
President Davis was sitting in
his pew at St. Paul's church on
Sunday morning, April g., 1865,
when a telegram vas brought to
him from General Lee, at Peters
burg, announcing that a Federal
movement had endangered his
communications and rendered the
abandonment Of Richmond and
Petersburg necessary. The Press
idcnt left Richmond for Danville
that evening, hut the last of the
Confederate troops were not with
drawn from here till about dawn
of Monday, April 81 As they re-
treated they fired the bridges over
the James and some of the tobacco
warehouses, and from these build
ings the fumes spread until, with
here and there exception, all that
portion of the city from the North
eide of Main street to the river and
from Eighth to Fourteenth street
was destroyed, including the most
costly property in Richmond, such
as mills, derots, bridges, ware
houses the stores that we had,
etc.
TweBty~eight years have passed
since then. The signs of that fire
have been nearly obliterated. De-
c~asicnally we see (the big Gallegos
Mill foundation wal!e,for instance
the blackened walls of buildings
that fell a prey to the flames thai
day, a day that destroyed a ma
tons hopes, that Frustrated the
Confederate capital in anguish and
suffering, a practically announced
the close of a foursyears' war
None but those who had higt
hopes of Confederate success anc
who we're witnesses of the heaped,
up calamities of that awful day
can appreciate what RichmondeEs
were forced to endure when the
Confederates went ont and tht
Federals came in.
1t happens quite remarkably
that Just as our minds recur tt
these events we are in the mids
of preparations for the remova
hither of Mr.. Davis's body from
New Orleans. The dust Ct tina

was the hardest of all Conteder-
ates, is by his wife's decision to b.

How o Cope with CrinoIine.

Consciously or unconsciously the
Boston Herald has become pos
sessed Of the Dispatch's idea that
the threatened revival of the hoops
skirt may crmplicate the rapids
transit problem in cities very Sc
riousIv.
It, too, locke hopefully to the
street.car corporations to dlscoure
age the fashion, and suggests that
the companies should charge GRIN
olineawears double fares and that
the men should combine for mu-
tual protection and resolve not to
surrender their seats to women
wearing h~oop-skirts.
We mast say candidly to our
esteemed B, son contemporary that
the latter proposition will not find
favor in Richmond. Besides, how
are we poor, ignorant men to decide
whether a IN is or is not wear
ing hoops! How are we going to
get the evidence necessary to con-
vict? Nor do we Think that the
double-fsre expedient will avail, If
a woman wants to wear hoop5kirts
and thinks that they are becoming
to her she will cheerfully pay an
extra fare-and then she will feel
quite at liberty to occupy from two
to four seate.
0 lr Boston brother with all OF
his ingenuity, has not hit upon the
true Plan for "downing" crinoline.
We have it. The hoops will be
made of steel, and the woman who
wears steel in an electric-railway
car may run the risk of being
stunned or of losing her life! Dare
the dear creatures court the fearful
consequences OF placing theil
hoops-steel hoops-:n proximity
to a current of electriclty1 We trov

them forthwith.-Phaladel phi

soME BACHELOR STATISTICS,

In calling dltCAeiOh W
ing of the last census that the
United States contains 100000
men e thirty years old who have
never been married, the Boston
Globe concludes that this fact IS
due to the increasing competition
of women in industrial and COM
merciaI pursuits which has resulted
in crowding out men and making
it impossible for many of that sex
to support families.
1t is doubtful if this is the cor
rect inference. There is no ques-
ton that the competition Of women
has displaced men in various
branches of employment, but, on
the other hand, the general range
of employment has SO broadened
that there are one hundred oppor~
tunities Of employment to-day
where ten existed a few years ago.
A closer examination of the ce1'-
u statistics gives a better explains
ton OF the great number OF q
married men. 1t will be found
that by far the greater proportion
live in the newer states. La what
the census terms the Western dis
vision, embracing Montana, "yo-
ming, Colorado, New Mexico,
Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Idaho,
Washington, Oregon and CaliforA
MIA. In these states the male pop
ulation exceeds the female over
100000 in a total population OF
only 5000, 900. Montana contains
twice as many males as females
and the proportion in Washington
is almost as great. Colorado, with
an entire population of about
40O,O 900, has 80 900 more males
than females, In the North Gems
trail Division of States, in which
are included such new States as
North and South Dakota, the mas
culine population is in a majority
of over 800 900. No such dis
parity exists in the Eastern
States.
These far Western States arc
largely settled by new immigrants
young meD who go hither to seek
homes and fortunes, and who arc
primarily interested in these OBJ
iects before assuming the obliga'
tions of married life. A life in the
West with its hardships, it's crudi
ties, it's exposures and its dePriva
tons is not much of an incentive
to married life.
This is a better eason why Their
are SO many bachelors than tina
given by the Globe.
