THE PALACE OF POVERTY"
X. of l.. Property Mortgaged and Head
quarters to Be Removed.

The palace of Poverty has been mort

Dor, and Michael j. Bishop, Jonathan w.
Hayes, Thomas 3. Mcclure, Henry B. Mar

property of the order, appeared at the foot
of an instrument recorded in the office of
the recorder of deeds, Wednesday, pledging
the brown stone palace at S4 Broad street
to the Girard Life Insurance, Annuity and
Trust Company as security for a loan Of
$4,000.
There was considerable surprise to-day In
knights of Labor circles when the news of
this action on the part Of the executive off,
GERS and board became known For some
time prior to the recent convention it has
been the idea of the rank and file of the
order that the palace purchased by Terence
v. Powderly was too luxurious, too COM
modious. too costly and badly situated for
the purposes of the order.
II was generally understood that the re-
cent convention authorized the sale of the
property and the removal OF the headquar-
tiers TO another locality. Hence the mort
provoked considerable comment among
members who were not cognizant OF the
reasons and purpoSe OF their leaders.
J. M. Kinney, of the executive board, was
asked the meaning of this unexpected move
on the part OF the executive board.
Yes" said he, we've mortgaged the
property for $4,000. II is TO the Girard

made merely to test our legal status as
fact tina an institution like the Girard ac-
cepts our signatures upon such an instru-
ment establishes a title trusteeship beyond
a doubt. Yes. we propose to move the head

cided, although we all favor one place. In

mony. The local military, consisting of in

repaired TO the Exchange Hotel, where the
Governor-elect was stopping, and, in tri-
umphant procession, escorted him through
the principal streets, which were thronged
with people, 10 the State Capitol, where he
was sworn into office. Governor O'Ferrall
delivered a long inaugural address. In a
~panegyric on Virginia. he declared She has
never swerved from the lighted way of the
Constitution; the song of the siren has never
tempted her, the tongue of fattery has
never seduced her, the voice of the hyena
has never frightened her. the menace OF
tyranny has never terrified her, the how
ingS of the wolf have never disturbed her,
the threats of malice have never alarmed
her. Firm and immovable, she has stood
in all the years that have run their circles
since she gave her pledge to be true to fun
damental law of this land" Coming down to
practical questions Of the day, he declared
that the questions of taxation, of education,
of railroads, the oysters and fisheries, i'm
migration, volunteer soldiery and disabled
confederates should receive his careful at
tention. Concluding, he complimented the
administration Of his predecessor, Governor
Mckinney.

A SOCIALISTIC EXPERIMENT.
Economist Hertzka VIII See His Ideas
Tried Down in Africa.
The Outlook.

80 O0NNOh
A dispatch from London last week stated
that a party of twenty persons, of differ
nationalities, would sail for East At
RIGA in January, to start a colony upon the
outlined by the Austrian economist
Hertzka in his economic romance, Free
land" Each emigrant, says the dispatch,
has subscribed $3.50, and the general public
has subscribed a considerable sum in adj
dition, 10 set the colony in working order.
The assurance that Hertzka's social an
ticipation' is 10 be put TO trial in this way
will, no doubt. renew public interest in the
volume in which, four years ago, he set
forth his ideals. The fundamental idea, of
his cooperative commonwealth is ex-
pressed in the name of his book. Free
land" The land is to be free. The public
is to own it and receive in rental from the
various cultivators and occupiers whatever
its value may be. The creed of Prog
ress and Poverty" is, therefore, the basis
of the new commonwealth But Hertzka
goes further than Henry George in the ex-
tent to which he would carry collective
every sort. He stops short OF
being a Socialist in that he would have
each industry self-controlling He would
not have wages equalized except as uni
versal education tended 10 equallze them;
he would have, each group OF producers
own managers and workmen. All pay
msnts would be made in labor-checks,
which would be the only money used in the
commonwealth. Provision for the future
and for foreign would be made
b. the accumulation of the commodities
to be used or exchanged. Such are the
main outlines of Hertzka's ideal, which
these colonists promise to attempt to make

Guilty of carrying into execution the plan
set forth. The chief weakness of the plan,
however, Is not its complexity, but the
fact that Professor Hertzka has failed to
furnish an ideal so inspiring as to lead
c~oionists 10 make the sacrifices necessary
for its realization. We expect from the
new colony the same record of mishap and
failure as has attended all other social
istic colonies not held toge,per by a sense
of brotherhood based upon a religious
creed dominating the entire ives OF their
adherents. Nevertheless, the feet that
even a small colony is being drawn from

ton which the aspirations OF men are now

BIG FIRE AT BOSTON
Globe Theater Destroyed and
Other Buildings Ablaze.
Hanlon's "Superba" Company Heavy
Observation-Disclosures, Scenery, Etc,
Licked Up by the Flames.

BOSTON, Jan. 2.-2:i5 a. m.-The new
year began in this city with a destructive
and at one time very dangerous blaze in
the Globe Theater. on Washington street,
owreds by John StetSon, and at present oc-
cupied by the Hanlons' "Superba'' COM
pany, which is playing an engagement here.
The elegant playhouse is completely Quilted
and the property of the Hanlons ruined.
Every engine that can possibly be spared
is being used to try and protect adjacent
property. At this hour the large six
story building just erected by the Harvard
College trustees has caught and every effort
is being made to save II. 1t looks as if
the entire block on the Harrison avenue ex-
tension would be swallowed up. During
the progress of the fire in the theater sew
eral explosions occurred which proved to
be the powder and cartridges owned by the
Hanlon Company, who were playing there.
1t is stated that every particle of the ward
robes of the company has been lost The
inmates of the houses on Essex street and
Hayward place are preparing to leave in case
the conflagration extends. The efforts of the
fremen on this street were heroic
and every line of hose that could be OBJ
tanned was brought into play, with partial
success. On the Essex-street side adjoining
the theater are valuable blocks of buildings
which are occupied by large business con-
Germs. The streets of the city are in dark
ness and the electric cars nave ceased to
run owing to the current being turned off.
The heavens are illuminated with the blaze,
which can be seen for miles around. Sparks
from the fire Travelled with the wind two
and three blocks away, and a most careful
watch is being kept by a Gordon of police.
The first alarm of the fire was given at
Ills a. m. and was quickly followed by a
second and third alarm. When Chief Web
Der saw how the fire was gaining, he had a
fourth alarm turned in. 1t is thought the
fire started in the coat room of the theater
by some one throwing a lighted cigarette
on the floor, and that 1t smoldered until
ii broke out into a blaze. 1t is estimated
that the loss on the theater will be in the
neigborhood of $500, 600, and that Of the
Hanlon "Suberba" Company will be in the
vicinity Of $4,000 as it was not able to save
any of it's valuable scenery. 1t is impossi-
bic at the time of going to press to estimate
what the loss to the other buildings will
amount to. as the fire is still aging and
there is no telling where it will stop.
