How They Work it in Washing

II has often been wondered how men
with elaine against the government come
to Washington with nothing save the pa
pers in their pockets, and live for season
after season in Gayety and aillnence. he
city contains many such people when
Congress is in session. The mystery was
partially explained YESTERDAY by de-
partment clerk He was approached last
inter by an Ohioan, who said that the
United States owed him SIS 0)), which he
was certain to get. The claim was a
good one. and the bill granting him Tthei
had passed ITS first reading. Upon con-
sideration that when the money was Sc
cured he should be paid $1,000 the clerk
agreed to advance the claimant Sl23 a
month, whicn he did for five months. the
bill went through all right, and the claim
ant deposited his Sl5, 900 in a local bank
and Immediately transferred it to ms
home bank By cashiers draft. The clerk
is ont 1928. is possible that he, too

A Fire at the Fair.

CHICAGO, July 10.--The large cold
storage warehouse erected by the Heron
les Iron Co. of Chicago, Just inside the
Worlds Fair. grounds, near the Sixty
fourth street entrance, was completely
destroyed by fire and the big paint shop
adjoining was partly burned this afternoon
while $4,000 persons looked on. AS far as
is known at midnight at least eighteen
men lost their lives and nineteen were
injured.
THE BURNED BUILDING.
The cold storage warehouse was 100 by
90 feet. 1t cost $3.50, 600, and was nuilt of
wood and steel, and was stored with
meats, vegetables, fruits and wines be-
longing to the RESTRAINTS on the grounds.
1t had a massive tower 300 feet high.
TIE FIRE STARTED.
About 30 o'clock p. m a small fire
broke out in the tower. Twenty-Five
firemen went to work to extinguish 1t.
While they we're thus engaged flames sud
denly burst out % feet below them and
they were forced to Jump 100 feet to the
main roof of the building. Fifty liremen
we're on the builling at the time, and one
ladder was their only means Of escape. A
number of them fell one hundred feet to
the ground, and several were carried
down with the roof into the interior OF
the bullng, which was literal fiery
furnace.
LEAPING TO DEATH.
The men on the tower only prolonged
their consciousness of life, for all were
doomed to die get they struggled to catch
at anything which seemed to hold out a
chance to leap and live. One by ono they
dropped from the tower, some clinging to
the burning rope as far as il afforded them
any hold and then shooting through a
solid shoot of flame to the roof.
The sight was. too much for even the mill
itarymen and the fremen onithe ground to
bear without shudder aud turning
away of faces. Human forms ,eaping
through Il lmes a hundred feet or more
down, dOwn to suro death, presented q
sight the stoniest heart could not witness
unmoved.
The last man who went down to death
with the tewer kept feet down as far as
the rope went ami then the ri Of fl smes
and air was so great that his body was
turned round and round IN the passage
within sight of all and the blazing tower

A Lesson of tho Strike.

It would be a pity if the street car
strike, for the number Of mon engaged
in it about the most disastrous this
community has known, were to pass
into history with its lessons forgotten.
Not the least OF these lessons is that
violence docs not win astrlke, This cx'
pedient was tested to the full and
failed absolutely, The moro 1t was re.
sorted to the more it weakened tho
strike and the moro 1t strengthened tho
company in its determination not to
yield. Nor was this all,
The more the public peace was dis
turbed the more public sentiment
turned towards the company without
any regard to the merits Of tho strike,
for on that side was the law, the preser-
vation Of the public peace and Of indi-
ddual rights against the sway OF the
brickbat and the bludgeon,
II il must needs ba that disagree
ments come between employers and
employees, it is to be hoped that they
be discussed in peace and brought to
some conclusion without resort TO vio-
lenOo aud intimidation.

Tho Blame and tho Credit


There is criticism OF the adjustment
Of the street car STRIFE and Of the trades
assembly representatives, who were
parties TO it. The criticism comes in
the main from the men who led the
strikers out, we're unable TO lead them
back, and were either incapable OF lead
ing TO any rational conclusion or entire
ly reckless as to results.
On them rosts the responsibility OF
tho heavy loss on both sides. Of the
outbreaks against tho peace OF the COM
munity. Of tho necessity which cOmpels
most oil the strikers to seek other en-
pIoyment, Of tho empty cupboards
which already confront aomo OF them.
Theirs WIS tho bad leadership which
blunders into action and lacks tho sa-
pacity to direct an orderly retreat
while there Is something to be saved.
The committee OF tho trades assem-
bly, acted none too soon. 1t would
have accomplished still moro for the
men II it could have acted sooner. 1t
had the moral courage, not always
shown on such occasions, to do the best
that could be done under the circum-
stances and to Incur the censuro Of the
tl,oughtlesg and tic dIscredited, That
committee did the BEST 1t could for tho
strikers and for tho community, and
reflected credit OH tho body OF organ
lied labor by whose authority 1t acted.
The strike leaders turned eagerly
enough to tlral body when they entered
on their compaIgn. They would appear
to better advantage now Il they could
bring themselves to accept gracefully
the honorable settlement brought about
by the trades assembly

This is the great mans way Of encour'
aging the upper ten Of the Windy City,
He thinks that New York has not given
Chicago society credit for all it is and
all that ia possible to it; although he is
pleased to note that some OF the select
young men Of Gotham have discovered
that there is in Chicago desirable COM
bination Of youth, beauty and wealth
which would look well transferred to
the gided salons OF the metropolis.
Mr.. McAllister thinks that New York
society will be astonished when it
drops into Chicago at fair time and
sees tho extent OF entertaining that is In
store for it. There will be dinners and
balls in great houses where there is
plenty OF money to sustain a high social
position. But he begs to suggest to the
Chicago society folk ambitious Of at
tracing eastern attention that they inn
port some expert chefs and-a matter
on which the great thinker lays much
stress-take caro- not to frappe their
champagne too much, an excess which
the best people regard as uRmistakable
proof OF vulgarity.
New York is TO be kindly indulgent
while Chicago is doing the enter
tainius, and the result is expected

Undoubtedly the poorest profession

anxiety for less substantial return than

When he secures a coveted position
after long striving he is handicapped by

prevents him from enjoying the full

exercising his own best judgment in its

Good Advice.

ysv York World, DIAL
The appointment OF large number
OF Democrats to federal offices is, OF
course, essential to the carrying out OF
a purpose, but the rush for office
goes beyond all bounds when senators
and congressman devote their whole
time TO begging patronage and insist
that the President shall devote his tins
TO listening TO them.
Ii these gentlemen have no other
business in Washington than office.
seeking they had better go home and
think up something useful that they
may do for the country when they come
together next fall.
