CAUGHT IN A DEATH TRAP.
FOsD's THEATRE, WASHINGTON, FALLS IN
KILLING "a GOVERNMENT CLERKS.
Governor Fishback Quotes Census Reports to
Northern Papers, Defending the South.

The historic, old Ford's Theatre in
Washington city collapsed last Friday,
killing about twentv-tour Government
clerks, and injuring probably fifty 9TH
ers. The building was used as
offices by the Pension Bureau Of the
War Department. 1t had been in
threatening condition for years, but the
Government still permitted its clerks to
work therein, although valuable relics
and records had been moved for fear of
an accident.
This was the building in which Lin
coin was assassinated. 1t had been
used by the Government for MANY
years as part Of the office of the Sur
geon General of the Army The build
ing stood on Tenth Street, Northwest.
between E and F streets, and not far
from Pennsylvania avenue. It had
been condemned years ago, some claim
as many as Is or 20 years, and had been
repaired, propped up and renovated
from year to year.
There were 475 persons, mostly Gov
eminent clerks, all men, employed in
the building, and nearly all of these
were at work when the building fell.
An excavation for an electrical plant
was being made in the cellar of the
structure, which was three-story af
fair, and the workmen had dug beneath
the foundation supports in front of the
building, weakening them to such an
extent that the walls gave way before
they could be lacked

Among the most attractive thing is a

OF the purest of diamonds. The masts
gleam with an oriental splendor, while
the hull is half full of the rarest of
gems. One can see diamonds to their
hearts content at the fair, as many

In Defense of the SOntl,.

Replying to the attacks made upon
the South by the Northern Press, Gov.
W. M. Fishback has sent the following
communication to Harper's Weekly,
addressed to the people of New Eng
land, New York, and Pennsylvania:
I'm recent paper read by me before
the Southern Governors Convention at
Richmond | called attention to the fact
that false impressions of the condition
OF affairs in the South are almost uni
versal, not only in the Northern half of
our own country, but in Europe. A
large number of the respectable press
ofthe North deny that this is true.
New England, New York, and Penn
sylvania not only Indignantly deny it,
but assume the role of missionaries
towards this ben1ghted region we call
the South, and, like Mrs. Jellyby, they
| are SO intensely solicitous about the
notes IN Southern eyes they are per-
mitting q good-sized and disgraceful
mote to grow in their own eyes.
So intelligent gentlemen as the Hon.
Mr.. Blair of New Hampshire, while
United States Senator from that State.
pressed with the zeal of an earnest mis-
sionary an educational bill based upon
one OF these false impressions to which,
as am myself disposed to do some
missionary work in these Northern
States, desire to call their attention
In the sincere hope and in such a way
that they will take steps to extract the
mote.
Mr.. Blair's bill was based upon the
false assumption that we of the South
are not doing our duty in regard to ed
ucation, and in regard to the negro.
Leading journals make the barge open
ly. Volume /, Mum Der Il, pages and
Z of the recent census of the United
States, taken by officials, whom, be-
lieve, nobody will accuse of partiality
toward the South, shows that Arkansas
white people, who pay about 9S per cent
of the tax which supports our public
schools, are not only educating larger
percentage Of their own white children
than New Hampshire, Vermont, Mass
achusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey, and Pennsyl-
vania, but that, in addition to this,
they are educating a larger percentage
OF the negro children of the State than
New Hampshire, New York, New jer-
DIV ~
Island, and even cultured Massachusetts
are educating of their own children,
who are bone of their bone and flesh of
their own flesh. How many people
North know this and why DO they not
know it ?''

THERE is more Catarrh in this section of the
couitry than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was supposed to be in-
durable. For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, aud prescibed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be constitution

treatment. Halls Catarrh cure, manufactured

Theatre Managers May no Able to Relieve
Mr.. Gerry OF Part OF His burdens.
The theatrical managers Of tho city met yes-
terday at Palmer's Theatre on Broadway. with
Manager Palmer in the chair. The most in
teresting part Of their proceedings related to
the Gerry society's stand in relation to the ap-
pearance Of children on the stage. The man
ayers had been misled as to Mr.. Gerry's senti-
ments by q report in the World that made Mr..
Gerry say certain things about the morality Of
actresses which. In a letter to THE SUN pub
lished on Friday. he said that he had never ut
tered.
The managers read this letter. and. admit
ting, frankly that they had been deceived by
a false report. abandoned unanimously their
original idea OF holding a public meeting to
protest against Mr.. Gerry's supposed denun-
citation OF the morality OF actresses. Some OF
those who had been enticed into com batting
MIR. Gerry's alleged views were under the i'm
preston that they had been buncoed.
The managers decided. however. that mas
much as the appearance OF children on the
stage had excited. so much popular comment.
It would he a good thing to organize a society
Of theatrical people that should TAX in charge
the business Of protecting the rights OF the
children Of the stage. Chairman Palmer ap-
pointed 9 COMMITTEES to consult counsel as to
