The young men and young wo-
men who aspire to obtain Academic
or College educations, and whose
parents cannot well afford them
that expense, will be interested in
the work of The Cosmopolitan MagG-
zine, which has offered for the year
1898 one thousand scholarships at
any of the leading colleges or schools
of the Uuited States, upon the con-
dition of introducing the magazine
into certain neighborhoods. Yale,
Vassar, Harvard, Ann Arbor, Chi
cago, the Southern colleges, the
great schools of art and medicine,
all are alike open to the ambitious
boy Or girl who is not afraid of a
little earnest work. The COsn1O-
p0zitam sends out from its New York
Office handsomely printed pamph-
let to any applicant, telling just
what is necessary in order to secure
one of these scholarships. The
scholarship itself includes board,
lodging, laundry and tuition-all
free.

COURT HOUSE BURNED.
Cumberland Visited With a Great
Calamity at Late Hour Last
Night,

Night.
At about the hour of two O'Clock
this morning a faint alarm of fire
was sounded. The city water works
was in no condition to respond and
no general alarm was given, because
of the fact that there was no water
supply to rely upon.
Shortly afterwards a blaze was
noticed on the West Side, and peo-
pie began to respond to the cry of
fire, but when they assembled at
the spot where the fire was doing
its work little could be done to
stay the force of the devouring ele-
ment.
The court house was on fire, and
by the time the people were aroused
the flames had made such Roadway
as to render futile all efforts to save
the Building.
Deputy Clerk Hoffman and
small body of assistants succeeded
in removing greater part of the
records, and it is not believed that
the loss in that respect will be great
or irreparable.
The building was two story brick
with Mansard roof, and cost $780,
600. 1t was built in 1872, by Jas.
b. Walton, a contractor and builder
of this city, and the bonds issued to
secure payment for the building
have just about been redeemed.
The first floor contained the Office
of the Clerk Of the Court, the office
of the Judges of the Orphans
Court, the County Commissioners
room, the office of the County Sur
veyor, and the vaults for the preser-
walton of the records.
On the second floor there was the
court room, judges chamber, grand
jury room and several rooms for
witnesses, and for the purpose of
consultation with counsel.
The building was heated by
steam, raised by boilers in the
basement.
At about one o'clock, Mr.. Nc
Alpine, the janitor, discovered the
fire in the grand jury room. Fire
had been made in CRATE in this
room during the day on account of
the fact that there was no water to
create steam for heating purposes,
and hence there was no artificial
heat in the building. Mr.. Meal
pine labored hard to extinguish the
flames by using the hose in the
building, but his efforts were I'M
availing and he was finally COM
PEELED to give the alarm.
The vaults are supposed to be in
TACT and the records they hold are
believed to be all right, otherwise
the building is total wreck, moth
ing standing at 3: so a. m, but the
four bare walls to give testimony
against the inefficiency of Cumbcr-
lands protection against damage
by fire.
The building is of course in
sured, but to what amount cannot
be ascertained at this time. The
Cumberland and South Cumber-
land Hose companies responded to
Il call for assistance and at the hour
of going to press they were work
ing manfully and bravely among
the ruins. -Cumb. News, Thursday. |

The Habit of X eeping q Diary.

Upon the whole, the habit of diary keep
ing does not deserve to be decried If the
diary be veracious record of public events,
1t may at any rate serve as an exercise in
prose writing and precis to the writer, and,
on the other hand, if the diary be merely
parochial, domestic or even personal in
tone, the same may be said of it, with this
added qualifcation-that at least in the
last case it may act in preserving human
individuality.
Among my papers and books / found the

There is little doubt that the American
ship is much better built than the foreign
vessel This may be rightly attributed to
the fact that the United States government
is very rigid in its requirements. All CON
tracts must be lived up to, and that the
builder may be encouraged in his work pre-
miums are pail where the official test de
velops greater horsepower and more speed,
or where the requirements of the contract
have been more than met. The govern
ment will not accept vessel not up to the
specifications Builders know this and are
accordingly prepared for it.
As an illustration in point take the case
of the Vesuvius. The contract called for
$500 horsepower, and she would have to de
velop a speed of 20 knots. In the official
trial this vessel actually developed LAO
horsepower and attained aSpeed of 81 64lO0
knots from a measured 4mile course, Of
course as a result earning for her builder a
large premium. The case Of the Blake,
English built, whose contract called for
10000 horsepower, lily compares with this
showing. The best efforts OF her engineers
and builders could only bring out a little
over 10000, and under this tremendous
strain her boilers went to pieces. The same
statement is true, although in a worse de
gree, of the failure of her sister ship, the
