AMONG THE PRESSMEN.
Scenes About the Big Room Under
Ground


At 10 o'clock last night the hard-worked
IRE patrolmen and employees of the press
room knocked off" work in that depart
ment for few minutes and refreshed
themselves with lunch. Little Jimmy
Lanett. the general utility lad Of the en-
tire establishment, and who had worked
like veteran throughout the entire day
and evening, sat contentedly on a roll of
paper with broom between his legs and
remarked. as he muDched a sandwich, 81
guess we'll get there on time, all right"
The big black tsrpaulins of.the fire patrol,
which had EMBODIED the valuable prop
erty in the room and preserved it from
injury. were removed aud the last vistages
OF the houd of water and deposit OF cinders
were being rapidly cleared from the floor.
Large and small rolls of paper ON trucks
were scattered here and there about the
room, and dark streak directly around
the face Of each marked the high water
which had come and gone.
The large room, with It's lines OF shaft
ing. and the steady swish of the water as
the brooms rapidly forced it over the
cement floor reminded one of the hold of
big ships which had but recently wealth.
cred heavy storm and was being cleaned
of the consequent debris.
Much concern was manifested among
the workmen as regards the condition Of
the big perfecting press, and when the
tarpaulin was removed Press Foreman
Hinchcliffe of the CALL and Gilman of
the Bulletin looked over this big charge
with anxious eyes.
Underneath the tarpaulin the cloth cover
of the press was as dry as powder-horn,
and IL required but a moments inspection
to convince both men that the expensive
and complicated piece of machinery had
passed through the ordeal without damage
"She will be all ready for to-morrow's
paper" said one Of the men, as he climbed
down from his position On top OF the ma
chine.
Out in the adjoining engine room Of the
power company Engineer Mosher was
hard at work getting Things in shape for
the coming mornings work. The big
smoke stack which towers above the build
ing was about the only portion of the
company's plant that was seriously in
jured. That piece of workmanship had
"buckled" from the intense heat, and
will necessitate the substitution Of new
one.
At 9:45 Mr.. Mosher had fire under the
boilers when the water was less than an
inch below the CRATES. A liberal supply
of coal soon brought the steam guage into
use, aid in few minutes the small engine
was set in motion and the assurance given
that plenty of power would be available
for running the press In the morning.
The large engine is also all right, but
the connecting belt has been burned off
which will necessitate the use of the small
engine until repairs can be made.

THE CROWDS
Gathered by Thousands Around the
Scene of the Fire.

scene of the Fire.
The appearance of a fire engine on the
streets Is sufficient incentive to cause a
crowd TO gather on any day in the week,
while the rafting of trucks and engines
on almost every block on Christmas day
was necessary 10 gather together the
masses that congregated to witness yes
terday's ccnfagration.
Even before the first engine had put in
an appearance a crowd of several hun
dred had gathered on Commercial street,
between Sansome and Leidesdorff. These
kept On increasing. coming from all direc-
tions. until when the engines began to ar
rive they found it difficult to get to the
scene without driving over some one. Not
until squad of police from the Central
station arrived were the fremen able to
properly perform their duty. Then the
crowds were driven back a block in each
direction and rope tied across the street
to mark the line they should not cross.
How effective this would be without a
strong guard of police at each rope was
not demonstrated, but from the number of
persons who tried to escape the watchful
eye OF the patrol and get inside it is not To
be presumed it would have had much.
At Commercial and Montgomery, and
Clay aud Montgomery streets, men. women
and children stood by the thousands. The
same condition existed at Clay and San
some, Commercial and Sansome and
Leidesdorff and Sacramento streets. while
along Clay, between Montgomery and
Sansome streets, it was impossible to pass
along the sidewalk.
Ali were curiosity seekers having no
particular engagement until o'clock,
when they began to disperse and wound
their ways in different directions to partici-
pate in the festivities around the Christ
mas dinner table.

HORRIBLE FATE.
Twenty-Five Victims burned to dsnth At

Chicago, July 10.-1o day tho cosd
storage building on the top OF which
is I'M ice skating rink, the ice being
made by an artificial process, took fire
and burned so rapidly that twenty-five
persons perished before hid could be
lObtained.
The horror was witnessed by many
thousands Of people and strong men
wcpt and women tainted as one life af-
ter another was snuifed out within full
view Of the multitude, but beyond the
reach of human aid. The fire was not
generally observed until lilo p. m,
and within Thirty minutes the great
loss OF life occurred.
The firemen responded to the call
promptly, but were powerless. Some
jumped from the roof, and were DASH
ed to pieces. Those in the tower were
cut off by tho flames below.
One man suddenly grasped n rope or
hose and half sliding half falling reach
ed the roof 90 feet below in bruised
and burned condition, but still alive,
BY this time the crowd below became
wild with excitement and weeping
women and frenzied men rushed hith
er nnd thither wringing their hands ir
anguish over their inability to rendel
aid. Suddenly one of the hremen was
seen preparing to jump and every eye
was turned upward. He gave quicl
spasmodic leap, and turned over ant
over half dozen times before he strucl
the roof 30 feet below.
To the spectators he seemed min
ute falling this distance, and as HI
struck the roof with frightful crasl
and bounced feet into the air,
groan of horror went up from tn
crowd. From this time the bodie
rained from the steeple, but in nearl
every instance breath and life had Ae
when the victim was picked up on tn
roof below. After the first wild lear
one man after another jumped in quic
succession as the flames closed in be
low and the heat became more intense
In nearly every Instance the yietir
turned over and over again before h
touched the roof and in nearly ever
instance the result Of the desperat
: leap for life was the same death.
In an exceedingly short space {
time the awful work was done, and tn
horror stricken crowd gradually mel

The teaching of patriotism and the
science of government in the public
schools should be commended on all
hands.
Tho grandeur of IL government de-
pends upon the quality of its citizens;
the stability of public institutions de.
pends upon the concurrence Of popular
opinion. and popular opinion is mould
ed entirely by education.
The rude Ekimo shivering in his
icy home, grading his babes in the
skins OF the polar bear and Of the wal.
rus, is happy in the enjoyment OF his
barbarous government because he has
been surrounded by no better educators
than the drcary icebcrgs and snowy.
caverns of his northern home.
The Bushman of Africa, cautiously
creeping among the brambles OF the
primeyal forests, needs no better in
stitutiOns than his education has pre-
pared him TO enjoy.
But civilized man, be he reared be
meath tho shadow of the stars ant
stripes, or under the influence OF tn,
Russian banner, will endure no more
the expressions of tyrants than he hal
been taught to suffer. Teach him, then
to be II MAN, and TO know the right
which are given TO him by nature, an,
by the Rulcrof the Universe.
