WORLDS FAIR FIRE.
Again Set Fire to a POr-
tiOn Of the White City-A
Narrow Escape.

Chicago, Feb. IA. Fire broke out at II
O'Clock this morning at the Colonnade,
between the agricultural building and
machinery hall, Worlds fair grounds.
The blaze started near the point where
the tiremen made such fierce fight
against the flames last week. When first
seen the flames were crawling up the pill
lars. The first alarm was soon followed
by second call, but before the additional
engines reached the ground, the destruc-
tion of the burning structure was almost
complete, and the large buildings adjoin-
ing, on either side, were threatened. An
other call was sent out, and all the avail
able engines in Woodlawn and Hyde
Park were soon hurrying to the scene.
The drifted snow in the grounds made
the work of the firemen slow and before
sufficient streams were directed toward
the burning structure, its timbers were
cracking in rapidly spreading blaze.
The tiremen were hah,pered by not
only being unable to reach the Colonnade,
but the drifts delayed them from fighting
the blaze. 1t was difficult to move the
heavy engines and the lines OF hose were
clogged in the snow. The engines drew
their water supply from the canal, and no
difficulty in securing this supply was en-
countered. The firemen and fair officers
agree that the fire was of incendiary
origin. They regard it as another at
tempt of the kind made SO frequently re-
Gently.
Some twenty fremen were under
the main Colonnade when Fire Marshal
O'Malley, fearing the central portion of
the structure would fall, ordered them
out. They had barely gotten away from
the place when the top Colonade was seen
to rock for a moment and almost at the
same instant fell crashing to the ground,
carrying with it the magnificent quadri-
ga, by Wagner, that adorned the central
portion of the top of the Coonnade. The
fire damaged the assembly hall in the
east portion of the structure and threat
ened to reach the rooms on the west side,
occupied by Artist Frank Millet as head
quarters for his department during the
fair.
The fire was practically extinguished
before p. m. Sixty feet of the Colonnade
was destroyed. The assembly hall and
Prof. Millet's studio were damaged but
left standing.

MEXICO TRADE REVIEW.
The Low Price Of Silver Has Had a
Damaging Effect Upon the
Produce Market.

City of Mexico, Feb. 14.-In a review
of the trade conditions in Mexico, Ell
Eoonomista Mexicano says: "The
instability of the silver market has we'll
nigh paralyzed the regular speculative
movement in agricultural products. The
movement of crops is very slow, but
keeps entirely up with the demand. Sales
of coffee und other products Being made
to United States buyers are as daily
rule, high in price on account Of present
exchange, although the general cost Of
living has gone up in proportion with
exchange. Coffee sells from $3l to $34,
per hundred pounds. Cotton $3.50 a
quintal and sugar from $1.75, to $2.20,
per arroba, at custom house,"

The cradle in which the infant son of the Duke and Duchess ofYork reposes Is gift from the Queen. and bears an in- scrlption to the effect that 1t was made in lS4o for the Princess Royal. was used for all her majestys children and was given by the Queen to the Duchess of York In 1894 The Queen commissioned the firm of Edmonds & Orr, Wigmore street. to fit 1t up with pure white satin and Honiton lace, and as the bassinette is itself in white wood. there is no scrap of color about it. The Queen has also given a second cradle to the Duchess. made of mahogany inlaid with fine gliding This is fitted up with brocade in delicately pale tones of color. The bedding provided for both cradles is of the softest and lightest description. The sheets are of Irish lawn bordered with Vaienciennes lace, and the blankets are of Pyrenean wool, very white and weigh ing very little, the texture more nearly embling cider down than flannel. Two small cider down quilts have been provided for the baby's use, one white and one pale pink. The Queen has also given the little prince several robes, in cluding one of fine Irish lawn and lace. and handsome cloak and hood of Zibe- line silk. Three small plumes in the hood suggest the Prince of Wales feath- ers Such articles as these for the children of the wealthy. were some years ago almost invariably made of French cambric, but of late years the manu- facture of Irish lawn has so immensely improved that 1t now equals, if it does not even surpass, the finest products of the looms of Cambray, so close, so even and so clear is it.-London Daily News.

and was soon shining up the post Of the portico. exulting in the hope of hav- ing worked the rabbit foot on the old man and avoided the buggy whip. His heart sank within him when he heard the stern Come here. Louis" but he climbed on. as though he did not hear. A second stern command fell from pa rental lips unheeded. He was ruthless iy yanked down and savagely shaken and asked If he was deaf. He seemed to come to himself, shake himself to- gether. as 1t were. and asked In mild surprise. Where am I? Why, Imust have come out here In my sleep"
 You think you've been sleep walk ing. do you?" asked his father as he grasped the buggy whip little more firmly.
 Why. yes. reckon so. don't know how else got here"
 "You've not been over to Bill Aliens candy pulling to-night?" asked his father
 Not that know of," was the reply. with a fair stimulation of surprise.
 This was too much for the preacher, who had heard him leave his room and crawl out. and who had followed him to the dance and heard him making merry with the revelers. and on his way back had heard him relating to some of his chums how he had worked the rabbit foot on the old man." All this the parson explained and empha- sized with the rapidly descending lash of the whip on the boy. who signified his understanding by vigorous howls and the execution of dance that beat the hoe-down out of sight. The prom ised double dose was administered, with an extra for the lies. It was re- ported on the best of authority that he has never attempted to simulate som- nambulism slnce.-Washington Star.

THE TRICK DIDN'T WORK.

A Preacher's Son Who Tried to ":work
 the Rabbit Foot on the Old Man."
 A good story Is told of the son of a Baptist preacher residing in southern state. The preacher rises to his high est flights of eloquence when inveigh- ing against the sin of dancing. He likewise indorses the proyerb. Spare the rod and spoil the child" just as much as if 1t were in fact an utter ance of Soloman instead of the New England almanac. The son was. after the tradition of preachers sons. the worst boy in the country. He would swear and fight and fish on Sunday and go to hoe-down dances when the elite of the neighborhood by no means pre- dominated. The preacher religiously whipped him from seven to fourteen times a week for various infractions of parental authority. For his last at- tendance at the hoe-doWn he had been given dose of the buggy whip, with the advice that 1t would De doubled in case he repeated the offense. A big candy pulling and dance was set for a night in the near future, He swore he would go. but just how to escape the whip was problem Of Archimedean proportions. He had heard the ire sponsibility of sleep walkers discussed. and he hit on the bright scheme of working that racket in the event of dis covery. On the night of the candy pulling and hoe-doWn he retired early and listened till he heard his father snoring. Feeling that III was quiet along the Potomac, hs orawIed out on top of the portico and elid down post and hurriedq to the hoe down. where he did valiant service te laake up for the lateness of his Ast3s&k Vim ne dance was over he htsd Aimgelx hnmewsrd
