The products of the William ]. Lemp
Brewing company are known throughout
the world. The Lemp' is q household
word. fos it is used by more families than
any other brand; it is the most popular
everywhere because it possesses a pure malt
flavor and holds its freshness, qualities
which other brewers have never been able
to successfully counterfeit. TIL people OF

1t Is just Like Those of tho Old Days, Says
n Correspondent.
Widen Pinkham, of Butte. has received
a letter from a friend at Kaslo, the great
British Columbia mining camp, in which
the writer pictures the place as a typical
mining town-like the ones that bobbed
serenely in the days of old. the days of
gold. The writer says he has been there
since last fall and owns a lot on which he
can realize 81, 600, although it cost him
only $50 when he first dropped into the
place. He says there has not been "A
steamer up the lake during the last three
months, but 1t is expected that the lake
will be open for navigation within the next
ten days.
In consequence of there not having been
a steamer a food famine is on, and what
little there is in hand is being sold at fabu-
Gus prices. Eggs are selling at $l.10 per
dozen OK S2S per case. There is no beef in

the Brooklyn idea is good one, and we
commend it to public attention. The
Hoboken Observer says:
There are Americans in Brooklyn who
celebrated the natal day Of our country in
a unique and very commendabe way by
decorating their residences in Van Brunt
street with the national colors and after
dark illuminating the entire block with
Chinese lanterns from stand erected in
the center of the block concerts of high
order were given all day long. This, with
an absence of noisy demonstrations, was
the prominent feature of the day. We COM
mend this method of celebrating to the
citizens all over the country, as one of the
best, If not the most excellent way to keep
up the American idea of gloriication. The
cost of music and Examinations was de-
frayed by the neighbors conformity. We
have not heard of any heads or fingers be-
ing blown off by exploding powder on that
block, nor any hilarious or ear-spltting
rackets which frequently usher in the day
in many quarters two nights or more before
the proper time 1t is not related that any
one was injured by cheap pistols or danger
Gus pyrotechnics but the crowd of appre-
ciative citizens with their children, stood
about the ratings of these houses in Brook
Ign and shared in the glory of the celebra-
ton, if they did not share in its cost. Those
who for their own pleasure gave the model
whereby American citizens everywhere
may pattern, must feel more than compen-
stated that the celebration contributed to the
happiness of so many and glad to be the
pioneers of a new departure in the method
of keeping alive the spirit of '76. The man,
woman or child who hangs out an American
flag or piece of tr-color as a mark of APP
probation of July the Fourth does hun
dred times more than the noisiest citizen
who explodes powder from shutdown on the
third to the morning of the fifth of July"
We deplore the decadence of the old
fashioned celebration of the Fourth,
with its reading of the Declaration of
Independence, patriotic music and
stirring addresses, instinct with the
true spirit of the day, 4 merican-as
they should be-in every syllable, but
having a new trend in the direction of
sound, sensible consideration of the
quality of good citizenship, its practical
duties and their faithful performance.
Every community has large number
of people-and they are not all young
people -who need the teachings of
celebration Of this character but who
seem never TO desire the instruction.
For them Vanity Fair has stronger at
fractions than the patriotic observances
that rose on the rapt vision of Adams.
1t is wise to reflect on these things at
this time, and reflection may ripen into
fruitful action before the dawning of
another independence Day.

A Terrible Disaster.

THE cold storage warehouse just outside
the Worlds Fair grounds was burned last
Monday, and no fewer than thirty firemen
persisted In the flames. The fire caught in
the cupola, two hundred feet from the
ground. While Fire Marshal Murphy and
forty of his men were standing on the bal
cony the flames burst out around the base
of the cupola with great fury. All the ropes
save one on the north side of the tower
were burned away in an instant. The hose
from the chemical engine withstood the
heat, however, and John Davis caught hold
of it and slid down ninety feet to the main
roof of the warehouse where he tainted.
His face and bands were terribly burned by
the flames which enveloped his body as he
came down. He was taken to the hospital
and the physicians say he will recover.
Two of his fellow fremen attempted to fol-
low him, but before they were half way
down the hose gave way and they dropped
into the seething mass of fire and were lost
Another of the imprisoned men started
down the rope on the north side of the
tower and had almost reached the roof when
it gave way and he fell, striking on his
head and was instantly.killed. There now
remained, according to the counts of vari-
GUS spectators, from twenty-five to thirty
men on the tower, who were hopelessy be-
yond the reach of help. The longest ladder
fell short of reaching them by full thirty
feet One after another of the brave fell
lows were swallowed up in the flames or
crushed into shapeless masses by jumping,
while 10000 people looked on powerless to
render aid. In twenty-five minutes after
the fire broke out the tower fell with a crash
that was heard for miles. Many of the fire.

Between Scylla and Charybdis.

A court martial will convene at Malta
to investigate the matter of the sinking
OF the Victoria by the Camperdown,
Although strict and unvarying obedi.
ence to orders, without regard to cir.
cumstances, is the rule of action, there
is still disposition manifested now to
censure Admiral Markham for obeying
Admiral Tryon's peremptory order.
The admiral is in a strait betwixt
two. If he had disobeyed and saved
the Victoria and four hundred lives, the
fact that disobedience had saved Eng
land from dire calamity would have
been matter of speculation, and, even
If admitted in any degree, the awful
magnitude of the disaster averted could
never have been known or coniectured.
Soithe offending admiral would have
incurred high official displeasure and
would have suffered its penalties.
Steering clear of Scylla, he has impinged
on Charybd!s, and will be fortunate if
he escapes worse personal wreck than
was threatened by the rocks and swirl
of waters on the other course.
Ii takes man of genius and daring
spirit to dsobey orders with impunity
and defy disgrace and professional ruin.
Admiral Markham does not seem to
have been cast in the same mould as
the great Nelson. Relying on his own
judgment in great emergencies, Eng.
lands greatest admiral, while vet
subordinate, had the hardihood repeat
eddy to disobey his superiors. AT Cape
ST. Vincent, in defiance of orders, he
obtained splendid success. AT CO.
penhagen, when the admiral, beyond
the reach of the Danish guns, signaled
Nelson to withdraw from action, that
impetuous officers answer was, Damn
the signal! Keep mine for closer bat
tie flying Nail my signal to the mast!"
and when he had finished with his en-
envy he had crushed the naval power of
Denmark. True, as the penalty of his
disobedience, his superiors ignored him
in their reports of achievements won
against their commands, and which
brought them titles and emoluments,
but he was nevertheless Britain's idol,
and became the great admiral who at
Trafalgar died amidst the thunders of
his mightiest victory. The world
"little notes nor long remembers" the
martinets who punished him for dis
obedience, but Nelson's fame is imper-
ishable.
Inferior souls know no other way
than blind, unreasoning obedience to
orders. So Markham ran his ship into
the Victoria. Though she was sink
ing, her sister ships, in subsection to
the admiral's signals, withheld their
boats and suffered hundreds of brave
sailors to perish, a CHASTITY sacrifice to
martinetism.

kindergarten in Colorado.

The bills introduced by Representa-.
tive Hynes cover the subject com
pletely and voice the wishes of the Free
kindergarten Association and of the
leading friends of the work in Colorado
who were consulted in their prepare
ton. The first simply authorizes kim
dergar,en instruction for children be-
tween the ages of three and six in
school districts that wish it. The other
bill provides for kindergarten teachers
and authorizes a branch kindergarten
normal school in Denver, subject
wholly 10 The trustees of the State Nor
ma School aud to be under the educa-
tional direction of its president The
reason Tor locating the branch school
here is that practice schools are neces-
sary i'll that kind of normal work, and
they do not exist at any other poiut in
the state, and are not likely to in sufli-
Gent number for many years TO come.
Denver has eleven free kindergartens,
which are available for the instruction
of normal students in the practical part
of the work, which is taught in oue-half
of the school day, while theoretical in
struction is impaired during the other
half. This combination of practice
and theory is indispensable in kinder
garten normal education. BY passing
these bills the legislature will respond
to the wishes of the people who have
devoted themselves TO this important
interest for years and paid for it out of
their own pockets. They understand
the needs of the situation and are sus.
tanned by the strongest petition ever
submitted to Colorado legislature.
