TIE WHITE CITY BLAZE.

Better that the flame fingers weave the
White City into "A cloud Of glory than that
moth and rust corrupt and the tooth of
time nibbe at its decaying columns.-Min-

How fortunate that fire did not sweep
the Worlds fair buildings while they were
crowded with sightseers The mere con-
temptation OF such thing is horrible
Philadelphia Call.
There Is something really mournful in
the thought that no human eye will ever
again rest upon the peristyle, which was
the browning glory of the great White City.

To the poetic it may seem that so much
beauty elected suicide rather than undergo
the murder Of piecemeal ACKNOWLEDGMENT

aPompeian end TO avoid greater disgrace.

The burning Of some Of the most memora-
bic Of the Worlds fair buildings at Jackson
park viii evoke from the civilized world
those expressions OF regret that are the nat
ural comment on the destruction OF things
Of beauty.-Ncw York Times.
Every one who saw the noble buildings
which constituted the Worlds fair will re-
greet to hear that the flames have visited the
White City. Notwithstanding that it was
known the buildings were doomed to de-
slruction. IL il fortunate, however, that the
fire came after the fair, when very many Of
the exhibits had been emoved.-philadel-
phia Public Ledger.
Verify the Columbian exposition has fur
nished a startling series Of sharply contrast
ed triumphs and culamties-the cold stor-
age warehouse fire, with its human sacri-
fees, the assassination Of Mayor Harrison
40 the close Of the fair. and finally the de-
struction by fire of the principal buildings.
The calamlt,es incident 70 the great fair
were commensurate with its greatness

Did you ever happen TO be in the country
when hazel nuts were ripes
Or did you ever happen TO watch the lit
Tie out Of door creatures that eat themf
some one who could say yes to both
these questions can tell you also that there
are three creatures, the squirrel, the field
mouse and the bird called nut hatch, which
live on hazel nuts.
Each Of these little creatures takes an en-
tiroiy different means to get through the
shell and bring out the food he is 80 fond Of.
The squirrel. holding the hazel nut in his
fore paws, rasps OF the small end Of the
shell, then splits it in two with his long
fore teeth, as u boy might do with his peck
etkuife-
The fieldmouse takes the nat in his fore
paws, too, and with his teeth bores the most
beautifully regular little hole in the end,
nad, though you'll find II hard TO believe
st, he draws all the meat out through that
one tiny pin sized opening.
The nut hatch is not so fine workman
as the other two, but then be has no hands
TO hold his work. With his bill he pushes
the nut into some crcvice or other natural
wise in the tree, aud then, standing over it,
he pecks away till a rapping noise tells he
has an opening through the shell large
enough 20 pick out the meat. It's "a ragged
looking hole. but it gives the bird his din
ner, which, after all, is the most the finest
workman among them can do.-New York

gave assurances either in his oficialo or
personal capacity, that the Admins
tration was and would be opposed to
he coinage of the silver seigniorage.
Up to that point the subscriptions to
the bonds had Jagged. When all the
bonds were subscribed for, but before
the money was paid in, intimations
were received here from New York
that if there was any prospect that the
Silver Seigniorage bill, then emerging
from the House committee, would be-
come a law, some of the largest sub
sCribers to the bonds would refuse to
take them. It was then that Secretary
Carlisle, it is said. reiterated his oppo-
sition to the Silver Seigniorage bill,
both in the newspapers and to the Com.
mittee on the Judiciary of the House.

MR.. CLEvELAND's ANNOYANCE.
The Silver s~eigniOrage Coinage Bill One
of Its Chief Causes.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Ifany doubts
have heretofore been entertained as to
the Presidents attitude on the silver
seigniorage question, those doubts seem
to be entirely removed by converse
tions had with the President just be-
fore his departure for North Carolina.
1t is positively stated that one principal
source of the disgruntlement which led
the President to seek relief in this trip
in the face of a spell of unusually in
clement and threatening weather, was
the continued effort in the House to
revive the silver agitation by the Bland
bill for the coinage of the silver seig-
niorage. From those who have recent
ly spoken to the President on this sub
iect this information is derived.
When the bond issue was determined
upon for the purpose of relieving the
treasury of financial embarrassment,
it was for the very purpose of avoiding
the necessity for the coinage Of the
silver seigniorage. If the Administra-
tration had g it's way clear to the
coinage of the seigniorage, it could
have raised almost as much money as
by its bond issue, without increasing
the public debt or the annual interest
thereon. But the money the President
wanted vas gold, not silver. 1t is gen.

West Randolph, Vt, a corporation or.
ganized under the laws of Connecticut,

for the failure is that the company has
too much land. William H. Dubois of

Moore Baker Killed Their Murderer and

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., March l.
Mrs. Lulu Baker, wife of Moore Baker,

brutality murdered about 1 o'clock this
morning by Villa d Thompson, a
negro, who, with Henry Baker, also a
negro, had entered the house to rob it.
Swift and terrible, however, came
revenge for the crime, for, with the
axe seized from the murderer's hand
after a fierce struggle, Moore Baker
killed Thompson. Then with a shot
gun he ended the life of Henry Baker,
as he was fleeing from the house.
Money was what the negroes we're

hands of Moore Baker, who had long
been his patron, and who had given
him a home.

Eighteen Vessels from Gloucester and
Sixty-one Men Lost Since Jan. I.

Eighteen Vessels from Gloucester and
S~ixty-one Men Lost Since Jan. I.
GLOUCESTER, Mass, Feb. SS.-The
past three months form one of the most
disastrous periods in the history of the
Gloucester fisheries. The number OF
vessels reported lost is eighteen. with
a total tonnage of LAC, valued at more
than 800, 600, and on which there was
insurance of 500. 1S4.
The last vessel to be added 10 the lost
is the schooner Henrietta, which sailed
from here early in December, on q
hand-line fishing voyage. She was
afterWard reported at q Provincial
port, where che IT Fitted. She then
started for the Banks. Since that time
she has not been SEEN, and it is the gen
eral opinion that she never viii return.
She was commanded by Dominique
Pinella, who had with him q crew OF
twelve men. Their names are:
Larrimendi Gabriel, Desire Emile
Poirier, Albert Johnson, John Reed,
Albert Turner, Oliver Larson, Benia-
min Delaney, Leon Bouvete, Paul
Armstrong, Grimar Harrison, Albert
Dujoy, Fred Harrison, and Michael
BOudret.
The Henrietta was q vessel of 74tons.
built at Essex in 1883, owned by Foster
Cakes, and insured for s., 629.
The loss of this crew makes a total
loss of life in all branches of the fish
cries of sixty-one men, several of whom
leave families in this city or in the
Maritime Provinces.
