Losing More Than Gold.


While we are talking of the loss
to the country of the exports of old,
says the Pittsburg Dispatch, 1t is
striking Illustration of unnecessary
waste that we have burned up more
property in the United States
during the first five months of the
year than the value of the gold
which has been regarded as such a
pinch to the money market. The
exports of gold amount to So ,O0O,-
900 net prior to June l and the fire
loss to 500, 900, 900, while daring
June the single tire at Fargo would
balance last weeks exports.
The loss, too, is more absolute in
the case of fires. The gold will
come back to us in great measure,
and for all of it we get value re-
ceived in some shape or other. But
the fire loss is an actual loss Of
wealth. The insurance companies
only assess the loss on the whole
body of policy holders charging
round commissions for doing the
work-and the community suffers
the loss of so much property wiped
out of existence While both losses
are undesirable, it is evident that
the fire loss is far the more irrepara-
BILE.
1t would be an interesting sub
ject of investigation how far fire
losses operate as cause of business
complications. 1t could hardly es-
cape attention, if such an inquiry
were made, that the great panic of
ls73 was preceded by the distruc-
tion of some hundreds of millions
of actual assets in the Chicago and
Boston fires. Perhaps we might
also find that the industry with
which the American nation has been
burning up its real property for the
past few years is not without its in
huence on the present situation.
However that may be, it ls plain
that public as well as private inter
ests will be served by less inham
mable style of construction. Build
ers should be prompt to adopt fire,
proof devices, and underwriters
instead of putting up rates indis
criminately, should make especial
reductions in favor of architecture
that will check and minimize the
present tendency to go up in smoke

For a Writ Of HabpaS Corpus
Filed.
IT MAY BE HEARD THIS AFTERNOON
Both Sides are Determined and the End i
Not Yet.

Measrs. Russell kingsburv and
San b. Thomas yesterday after
noon reverted their application for
writ of habeas corpus in the pro.
ceedings instituted by Mrs. Annie
b. Cra~ ford against her husband,
Willard f. Crawford, for the Gus.
tody of a child, Lily Crawford.
They say they will get the child if
the matter is carried to the supreme
court
Should Judge Jenkins, of the
county court, not grant the writ the
matter will be a. once referred to
Judge Scott, Of the district court.
1t is understood that if Judge
jenkins refuses the writ it will be
ON the ground jurisdiction.
Shit uld the writ be refused in the
district court the plaintiffs counsel
will institute divorce proceedings
and ask that the child be awarded
to the mother
Both parties have many friends in
this city and vicinity and there is
considerable feeling on both sides.
The time for hearing the applica-
ton was set at two o'clock this
afternoon.
There was big crowd at the
county court room this afternoon
and everyone was on the tiptoe of
expec, alton, expecting a sensation.
1t was rumored that the plaintiff,
Mrs. Crawford, was armed, but this
statement was disproved, as the
lady was searched by officers Of the
court. She was very much excited
but said that she would be quiet
provided that she did not see the
child.
Her application, which took up
five pages Of legal paper and APP
peared to cover every phase of the
case, was read by Mr.. Russell
Kingsbury. 1t brought out the
marriage relation, and sought to
prove that complete separation
took place on June sth, and
sought to show that she was
the proper person to have
the custody of the childand also that
the respondent left her on June Is
and did not return until Sunday
the 10th of June, when responder,
forcibly took the child from its
mother, the said Annie b. Craw
ford.
In the answer of the respondent
it is claimed thai the father is g
legal custodian of the child, that
the mother is not tit person to
have the child.
They set up plea of juris
dlction and fled a general de.
murrer, the special exception be
ing that the wife did not
appear jointly with her husband
and that there had been no divorce;
that they did not believe Annie B.
Crawford was the proper person to
have the child, but that either of
the respondents would be proper
custodians.
1t was 3 O'Clock before the pro.
ceedings began and argument will
probably occupy most of the after
noon A cloud of character wit
nesses were present and there was
an air of subdued excitement in the
court room.

Birds Enjoy q Shower Bath,

A friend reports a pretty incident.
During the hot, dry weather the birds
about her house were apparently much
in need of bathing places, and the lady
discovered that every day when she
went out to water her flowers a little
bird lowered about as if he wanted
something. Presently he revealed what
he did want by getting under the sprink-
ling of the water pot or beneath the
dripping plants, and fufing his feathers
in this shower bath just as he would in
a pool, and plainly enjoying it in the
highest degree. He began to watch for
the daily coming Of the lady to water
her plants and gave himself up to his
bath with gay Standardization Tran

Why Is 1t?

Why is it that a woman can struggle
until she is red in the face and worn out
both in temper and body by a window in
a railroad train in her vain endeavors to
close-or open it when all that a man has
to do is to walk up and 60 over exactly
the same line of action that she has al
ready exhausted, and down comes the re-
fractory window in a jiffy? 1t is a most
humiliating fact, but a very true one
nevertheless, that not five women out of
a dozen ever succeed in arranging a win
dow to their satisfaction. They pull and
tug until they are embarrassed, and
finally, in apleading manner, look around
at some slip of a man, who, without any
nonsense, brings about the desired effect,
while the woman looks on in silent won
der at his marvellous skill and dexterity.
