A CHICAGO DIsASTER.

Sleeping Families.
CHICAGO, Feb 28.-At lao O'Clock this
morning the wall of York's store. on
South Halsted street. which was recently
burned, was blown down by the furious
gale that blew up about that time. 1t fell
upon the house adjoining. which was &C.
cupied by the families Of John Smith, .
saloonkeeper, and James Kunze. q
ieweler. Ten people were killed by the
falling wall. They are:
JOHN SMITH.
DoLLIE SMITH, his daughter AGED 10 yeafs
'BAB" SMITH. his son aged TO-
HATTIE smith, a daughter aged T.
PAULINE, a domestic in the Smith family.
JAMES KUNzE.
MRS KUKzE.
KUNzI's son. aged 81
The building which collapsed was owned
by John York, large dealer in dry goo ds
and was destroyed by fire few weeks ago.
It was three stories high. York began re-
building after the fire. and, as all the walls
were not down, he built new walls on the
top of what remained of the old one. 1t is
supposed that the green wall was not suffi-
GENTLY braced. The weather during the
early part of the evening was calm and q
light rain was falling. About II o'clock
the rain ceased and the wind began COM
ing up. By midnight. or shortly after, it
had increased to a gale.
A policeman on the beat noticed the
wall of the building shaking IN the high
wind, and going to the patrol box he In
formed his station. He was told to watch
it closely, and if there appeared to be any
danger Of it falling, to warn the occupants
of the neighboring buildings to move out
at once. He turned back, but was still
some distance from the building when
with an awful crash the wall came down.
A wild shrek arose from the building &C.
cupied by the unfortunate victims, and all
was over.
The ruins of the demolished building
caught fire from the stoves, but the ire de-
partment was quickly ON the scene, and
subdued the flames with but little diff
Guilty. The police and firemen then began
to dig in the debris. At $3.50 Mrs. Smith
was taken out. Her head was crushed and
she sustained severe internal injuries.
She cannot recover.
After some time Fred Kunze was gotten
out badly injured, but it is thought he will
recover He was dazed and, of course,
knew nothing about the inmates of the
house. The search was continued. A
large additional force of firemen have been
summoned. but up to q. IN. no moro
people have been taken out. 1t is thought
now that it is not probable that any of the
unfortunates still imprisoned in the
ruins will be rescued alive.

The CAPITAL Bill q HOAX.

OLYMPIA. Feb. 27.-(Special. Senator
Claypooi, whose name headed the list of
those Endorsed on the bill to resubmit the
capital question, announced today that it
was placed there without his consent,
and that he did not approve of the
measure. Other senators signed the
bill as a joke. The opinion prevails that
il has no show of passage, and it is more
than likely that the bill providing for the

down. Gilman next endeavored 70

a rather hot discussion. though Gilman
disclaimed any intention to raise q polit-
ical question.
The anti Republican speakers, especially
Baker. the Populist, insisted that the Re-

took part in the debate were

FAMILY TABLE SUPPLIES.
Comparison With Their Cost Twenty
Years Ago.
Hartford Courant.]

How many housekeepers ever pause IN
the hurry scurry of home life to compare
the prices of the actual necessaries OF
the family table supply with those OF
twenty years ago? Perhaps the com
parison would be odious to the many
who are getting better pay for their la
Dor than they were in those days, but
who yet reach the end of another year
without seeming to have ''gotten ahead"
financially, but the figures are mighty
interesting all the same. A gentleman
stumbled upon an old pass book the
other day, the earliest dates in which
were written January 6, 1S71-just
twenty-five years ago, and it affords
some interesting comparisons. just
how the small wage Garner managed to
pull through then is wonder, If he is
not sailing down the ''stuff'' at present
prices-and it's safe betting that he ism
getting over-wealthy at that.
The very first charge on the book was
a couple of pounds of pulverized sugar,
and it cost SO cents; IA pounds of gran
ul ted cost So, and it cost within half a
dollar of that sum to own bushel OF
potatoes;> couple of weeks later the
quantity of sugar had decreased half a
pound for the two dollar bill; gallon
of New Orleans molasses was had for a
dollar, and a couple of pounds of cheese
tor A cents. The family were evidently
in the swim on the butter plate as the
charges came thick and fast for that sup
posed necessary accompaniment to poor
bead; the charges are sufficiently fire.
quent to make one dizzy. There is no
charge, which is carried out at prices
ranging from forty-five to fifty cents the
pound. Whew! Here's three pounds of
Goldfish at 10 cents the pound, and directly
five pounds of corn meal is carried out
at IS cents; luxuries were in part more
reasonable, as a dozen oranges were
charged at quarter dollar; here's half
pound of black tea for so cents, likely
mixed with half of green at 50 cents; six
pounds of oatmeal cost As cents, and nine
pounds of rice brought an even dollar.
But flour! S11.50 per barrel! No won
der the charges for butter flow thick and
fast after that; and directly the amount
of sugar for two dollars shrunk another
half pound; more butter and pound of

onions for 30 cents. with butter easing

Physioal Education in Colleges.

The colleges for young men have quite
generally provided gymnasium facilities,
and the larger ones have appointed compe-
tent instructors in physical culture. None
of them has as yet had sufficient enlight-
enment and plain common sense to make
the acquisition and maintenance of good
health cardinal and compulsory part Of
the college course. But our educational
men will come to this point in due season.
Meanwhile the colleges for women are be-
ginning to emulate the mems colleges in
their provision of gymnasium facilities, and
there come most encouraging reports from
several of them as to the remarkably bene-
fetal results shown by the use of such
means of physical culture as are available.

Not an Actor.

Actors when off the stage are usually
light hearted, jolly lot. Curiously enough,
the men distinguished in the profession as
comedians are apt to be reserved and sol
emn VIXEN they get into street attire, while
the tragedians and those who take heavy
parts are us a rule as light hearted lot of
men and women as one would care to meet.
Men, even of this generation, remember
genial old John Brougham, one of the best
actors and playwrights and withal one of
the best fellows that America has seen for
many day.
Brougham was fond of practical jokes,
and he delighted to take down the men in
his profession who were given to putting on
airs because of talents real or imagined
Among the handsome and rather vain
actors in New York city in Brougham's
time was Lester Wallack. Mr.. Wallack
was certainly a man of ability, though per
haps not quite so great a man us he imag
ined. Which of us is?
One evening at dinner party where a
number of actors and their friends were IS
sembIed after the play John Brougham
''got the laugh" on Wallack in this way:
Last night" said Brougham, Il had a
dream-a most unusual dream"
"Ah, maybe" said the elegant Wallack
as with his little finger he tipped the ashes
from his Gig ''you would favor the COM
pany by telling us what that dream was"
After some urging Brougham appeared
to comply with reluctance. He said:
II dreamed that was dead. 1t seemed
very much like dropping of to sleep, and
was glad that there was SO little pain
about it.

body away it flew, how far nor how fast |
