saw Hts CHILDREN BURN.
REV, ROSS TAYLOR'S HOUSE
DESTROYED BY FLAMES.

It Was a Well Of Fire-Mr. Taylor
Saved His Wife and One Child
Two Of His Boys Escaped From
W1ndows-His Other Four Chill
dren Were Lost.
"A terrible fire occurred at South Nyack,
NY, which destroyed the fine new resi-
dence of the Rev. Ross Taylor, son OF the
Rev. William Taylor, Bishop OF Africa. -Four
of Mr.. Taylor's children were burnedto death,
and three workmen were seriously Injured.
The house, which was situated on the
South Mountain, In Nyack, Is conspicuous
place, was built quite recently and was a
handsome stone structure. 1t STOOD near
the top OF the hill, Just west OF Hillside ave-
nue..
II seemed to be In absolute darkness
when, at 4.19 o'clock, cry OF ire was
raised. In a moment the whole mouse
seemed afame.
By the time the people we're on the streets
the blcze lit up much Of the surrounding
country, and when the firemen and votun-
teers and spectators arrived near the burn,
ING house it was enveloped In flames, and
the dreaded work of the fire had been ac-
complished.
So far as can be learned, Mrs. Taylor was
the first person In the house to discover tnat
II was on fire. She reused her husband.
There was no time for investigation. IheiE
room was already filling with smoke. ana
when the door was opened the names
were seen to be reaching through every part
of the house.
'ont with their own lives They made rush
for the door, half stihed by the clouds OF
spark-charged smoke, and succeeded IN
getting out. When they turned to look at
their house they saw that 1t was doomeo
and knew that In all probability thelr BLK
children had perished among the flames.
Their agony was lessened in degree when
II was learned that two OF the children,
Stewart and William, had got out OF WIN
dow on the third floor, and that Michaei N.
Mullady, laborer, and two decorators, Ed
ward Valenta and William BUN, nao es-
capped in the same way.
Everrhodv had to lump from this window,
and II seems miraculous that nobody was
killed. The bows, the oldest of whom Is six
teen, were only slightly bruised by the faii,
while his brother was unhurt, having SLID
down board. ,,
Taylor's four other children were lost.
There was no hope for them. They were
hemmed In ty flames, and amid cries
and prayers they sank back to death.
The children who lost their lives were
Harriet, Ada, Arthur and snultz'
eleven, nine, seven and five years oid re-
specttvely. They slept on the secono LOOT. a.
about 9 O'Clock a. m, and the funeral took
place at St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal
Church of II a. m.
The house had been occupied BY the fam
ily only two weeks when the terrible tre de-
priyed them OF their four children and their
home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor and the two children
barely escaped from the house With their
lives.

WORDS OF WISDOM.
Opposition is opportunity.

Opposition is opportunity.
Money is powerful conversational
list.
Unholy tempers are unhappy tenn
pers.
The basis of good manners is self
reliance.
The sky is never all blue at the
same time,
Sarcasm may be bright, but it casts
q shadow.
A true test of ul;onism is not IL
words, but deeds.
We would all be g0sd if it were not
too much trouble.
Be careful of your actions, for they
reveal your character.
An ounce of accomplishment ii
worth q ton Of intention.
We can readily see how easy it IS to'
other people to do right.
Necessary evils are necessary because
mankind is built that way.
It is long way up the hill if yor
think about the hill all the time.
There may be plenty of room at the
top, but happiness doesn't always get
there.
If everybody was perfect what
would the gossips do for interesting
materials?
None but the brave deserve the fair,
and none but the brave can live With
some OF them.
The man who erects large building
On a very small lot does so because he

People talk q lot about marrying

think about it.
Enterprise and energy slowly ascend
the stairs OF Success while luck goes
up in an elevator.
When the mind thinks nothing, when
the soul coverts nothing and the body
asketh nothing that is contrary to the
will of God, this is perfect santifca-

In the moral world there is nothing
impossible if we bring thorough will

and the reception given him few nights
ago In Carnegie Hall, New York City, was in
marked contrast with those he got during
his first trip to America some eleven years
ago, when the Salvation Army was much
smaller affair than 1t Is now. Then his Or
ganization was ridiculed and maligned In
some quarters. Preachers Of the gospel
Joined In the general belief that little spirit

noisy methods Of the army. There has come
a change, however, and on this occasion

TROOPS ASKED FOR.
To Suppress the Reign Of Terror In
Indian Territory.

Secretary Smith asked the Secretary OF
War to send troops to Indian Territory to
suppress lawless bands. BE says In his
letter that he does this In view OF the OBJ
legations of the Government as set forth
in treaties with the Indians. Com:
missioner Browning suggests that troop OF
cavalry be sent into the Indian Territory to
assist Agent Wisdom at Muskegee IN pre-
serving the peace. 1t Is expected these
troops would be used to hunt down and
drive out marauders. Agent Wisdom has
wired the Indian Office, asking authority to
incur the necessary travelling expenses OF
the Indian police in assisting United States
Marsua,s. Such authority has been granted.
General Schoneld, commanding the army,
has recommended that the legal aspects
of the matter be thoroughly examined be-
fore the troops are ordered to act in Indian
Territory. The Judiciary has not yet been
appealed to, and this the posse comltatus

A telegram was received at the Japanese
legation at Washington. saying that upon
the assembling Of the Diet at Hiroshima,
Count Ito, the Prime Minister Of Japan.
made an elaborate speech in the
House of Lords, In which he explained at
length the causes OF the war between
Japan and China. During the course Of his
speech he read the correspondence which
had passed between the Japanese and Chi
nese Governments before diplomatic nego-
tiations were suspended and war was de-
clared. The speech made very deep i'm
preston upon the House.
The feeling of the Diet appears to be
unanimous in approval Of the course pur-
sued BY the Government. The universal ex-
preston is that the war must be vigor-
ously pursued until 1t is brought to a
triumphant conclusion. The Diet has mani
tested the greatest willingness to grant
everything asked by the Government. The
Houses passed by a unanimous vote the bills
introduced by the Government relating to
war expenditure, which involved total sum
