No queenly rose she stoops to Gull,

But wayside flowers, common. dull

No lordy knights nor ladies' fair
Within her world abide;
But homespun women, awkward men,
Who live in life's aside.

And 10 a romance where
We thought was sordid commonplace
And trivial round of care
The drudge a heroine becomes.

What scent from old-time "a rdens blows
Across our hurried strife
What pathos here, What humor there

The annual report of Judge John /.
Thomas, assistant attorney general for the
post-ofhce department, treats al some
length OF the enormous increase in the
number OF companies engaged in conduct
ing lotteries and fraudulent schemes.
Against these concerns 223 "fraud" orders
We're issued 10y the postmaster general dur
ing the last fiscal year, prohibiting the de-
livery of registered packages and the pay
ment of money orders to them. On this
subject, Judge Thomas SAYS "The craze
for taking chances in the so-called bond
investment schemes in our country III the
past year has equaled, if il has not exceed
ed, the tulip mania of Holland and the
infatuatiou created by the South Sea bub-
bic OF John Law. These so-callel bond in
vestment schemes are more dangerous TO
society than avowed lotteries, because their
lottery features are streuuOusly denied.
and they are are held ont by their promo
tiers TO the public as legitimate business
enterprises"
The war against lotteries by the United
States government has had the effect to
drive these concerns into foreign countries.
and large sums OF money are lost to this
country through their operation. There is
no adequate remedy against CARRYING the
literature of these concerns in the interna-
tiona mails. The lottery business con-
Quoted through express companies has in
creased enormously during the year in the
direct ratio OF the decrease OF that business
through the mails Legislation by Congress
on this subject is urged.

Is IT ANOTHER BUDDENsIEK !

A new factory building on Monroe
street, Just finished externally, was
blown down by the wind at a little be-
fore o'clock yesterday morning. 1t
was seven stories high. and falling on
lower dwelling adjoining. carried 1t
to the ground and buried all Its sleeping
inmates. eighteen In number. beneath a
heap OF ruins. Nine were Killed and
twelve more or less hurt Not IA person
in the inhabited building escaped unin-
jured.
The disaster might have been more ex-
tended. for the new building ms 1t fell
carried away portion of the wall of
another adjoining dwelling. leaving the
third-story rooms exposed and giving
the inmates a terrible fright.
At 4 o'clock the previous afternoon
there was II convivinl meeting of tho
owners and workmen on the roof OF the
doomed building In accordance with an
east-side custom. and the building was
decorated with flags. 1t had been nm
ished externally and the last nail driven
in the roof. The next nails were to be
driven In the collins Of the ten victims.
Waterman who saw the fall graph
cally describes 1t as looking as II
streak of forked black lightning had
run down the front wall and the next
instant the building had disappeared.
Where is the responsibility? Could n
house properly built have been blown
down like a pack OF cards? Were the
owners. the contractors or the Build
ing Department inspectors to blame? A
number OF ugly rumors are nnoat, hut
the neIghborhood is excited and inccnsed.
searching investigation should be
made. The terrible calamity seems to
bear evidence OF neglect on its face and
the guilty should not escape. Let us
know whether there are any more Bud
