WE have frequently called attent ion to
the criminal negligence Of either con-
tractor or architect in building houses
that are inhsmmable This negligence.
or whatever it may be called, in those
who build houses Is startling when
forced upon our attention by such a
catastrophe as the burning Of the insane
asylum at Dover New Hampshire
Thirty insane paupers were roasted
alive in their cells. It is one OF the most
dreadful disasters on record. The
details Of its horrors are sick
ening. It's oause-that is, the origin
OF the nre-is not known. Probably i I
never will be known, nor will the.friends
OF the unfortunate victims ever b. able.
except, perhaps, in half dozen Instance
to select from the still smouldering heap
of human bodies the relics Of their own.
Twenty minutes from the discovery of
the flames the tragedy was over. Whose
fault is il that we cannot build FIRE proof
housesi The people pay enough
money for every public building to
build two, sometimes four such
structures. There is ne lack Of money

kicked by a Horse.

William Garrett was seriously injured
on the farm of Benjamin Duncan, near
Aarshallton, on Wednesday afternoon
last. He was taking a horse from the
stable to a watering trough, and after
getting out of the stable door allowed
the horse to 60 of its own accord. As
soon as he released his hold on the strap
which he was leading the animal by, it
suddenly turned and began prsncing.
Before Mr. Garrett could get out Of its
way he was kicked in the face He was
knocked senseless and was carried to his
home nearby, where DR.. J. w. Bough-
man found that several teeth were
knocked out and that his face was fear
fully lacerated.

England ana ths KhedIre.

Independent.
1t is a pretty little attempt at petty
revolution which the 10 year old Khediye
of Egypt, Abbas III, made last week He
is surrounded by foolish advisers who do
not like the strong hand of England /.
and without consulting the British rep
resentative. Lord Cromer, better known
as Sir Evelyn Barring, he changed his
cabinet, putting at its head a worthless
man who was hostile to England. How
much influence French, or Russian, or
even Austrian diplomacy added to pro-
duce this action of Abbas, we cannot
tell; 1t may have been solely palace in
trigue. But Lord Cromer is not man
to be played with. He gave the boy
twenty. four hours In which to undo his
act and at the end of that time Fakhri
Pasha had resigned and a new and ac-
ceptable prime minister had been ap-
pointed. The Khedive had learned that
his post was only one of splen-
dor and not Of power. This is
not the first time Lord Cromer
has had to assert himself. From his in
fancy Abbas had played with Lord
Cromer's children, and the latter had
been most familiar with the future
Khedive. Shortly after his accession he
utClucu 10 ItCclNc IoIu OfOmcIs WIZ
had called informally in street costume,
and published next morning no tice
that the Khedive would grant n o
audience unless applied for twenty four
hours in advance, and made in court
costume. A few hours later Lord
Cromer called in ordinary attire, brushed
his way past all the chamberlains, and
walked upstairs into the presence Of the
foolish boy, and gave him such lecture
that the notice was recalled the next
morning This last act Of Lord Cromer,
taken with the approval of Lord Rose
berry, shows that the English have no
present intention of leaving Egypt. They
will hold il and they must do 80. 10
may be fortunate that the French are so
much engaged in their domestic Difficult.

THE approaching financial crisis makes
all honest patriotic men indignant be-
cause the catastrophe has been deliber-
ately invited. The gradual displace-
ment Of gold, the favoritism Of silver the
passage Of the Mckinley bill increasing
the burden upon the people and decreas-
ing the revenues Of the government, and
the pension extravagance, all have had
the tendency Of derleting the Treasury.
II the expectation Of gold continues and
the gold inceme decreases at the same
rate at which II is decreasing now. gold
will be at = premium and we shall be
in the midst of financial
crisis. It makes the Democrats much
more indignant. when considering that
this condition is the direct result of bad
legislation and dishonest and reckless
partisanship, the Republicans, who put
the Sherman silver purchase act upon
the statute books, have the audacity to
blame the Democrats with the failure
Of the effort to stop buying 1000 900
ounces per month Of useless silver. The
banks are holding gold and the gold
balance has declined from $3.50, 000, 600,

The pen sufficiently nimble
to keep up with the accumu-
lating varieties of Dress Stuffs
has not yet been found.
Step in to the aisles that
home the Cottons. The
cheaper sorts are beautiful.
The piles of them majestic and
the styles charming.l 1t seems
almost insulting to write 16c
against these Scotch Cambrics,
I2%c against the Irish Lawns,
I5c against beautiful Cling
hams. Scotch and Irish are
trade names only.
This is the golden age
of Dress Goods, golden in
all-aroundness. The golden
winged can get the rich and
rare stuffs from toplofty Paris,
London, Vienna and the
meagre purse is ample able to
get things of beauty for a trihe.
The aisle that hives the fine
Cottons! Full to day.
Where shall the throng be
put that is swarming from Gus
tom house, railways, steam
ships?
Have you seen the silk
striped Cotton Zephyrs2 40,

Have you seen the Oxfords
and the Madras? 80, IS, 4oc.
Haveyou seen the Cheviots2

Have you seen the dainty,
zephyr, indescribably beautiful
things grouped as Scotch
Ginghams? IS to CSC.
Yes3 You haven't seen
them all, the richness grows
daily richer.
No? Then if you are a wo-
man you have done yourself
injustice.
An easy naturalness marks
the early Dress Goods trade.
A success that is succeeding
abundantly. Every business
day this year our sales of Cot
ton Dress Goods show gains
over last year and that was a
season beyond precedent.
People are learning more
than ever the wisdom of early
choices. How care is reduced
if the Summer Dressmaking
is finished in the early Spring.
What an advantage to see
the fresh thought of a new
season earlyl This is SO SEN
sible that it is only necessary
for us to furnish the early sup
ply to create the early demand.
Contradicts all tradition. But
this is an age of surprise.

You'd say So. Only one story

gets a price impulse and de-
