TWO REpuTArloNs TO SUSTAIN.
PhliadcIphis Club Men Fitted Against
Zach Dihor In "A Drinking Match

Philadelphia Club Men Fitted Against
Each Other In "a Drinking Match.
Two men sat down 10 small table in n
Philadelphia club few evenings since
for purpose. Ii was 10 decide who pos
sesscd the greatest capacity for white
wine. Each had the reputation. which he
studIously sustained, of being able TO
stand more fcrmcnted juice of tho grape
than the other. and their criticisms of
each other had become 10 unbearable that
interested persons determined by oppos-
ing the boosters to end or mend their talk.
So grand match was arranged. On the
evening before the test, says Tho Press, a
friend of the elder contestant, who was
practical joker, approached the vino
drinkers and. laying one band coniidingly
on his shoulder, spoke thus:
Look here, old man, speak as
friend. You've got reputation to sus-
tain tomorrow evening and the other fell
low hasn't. Now, as - friend, let mo in
sist that you accep, the bottles of wine |,
as judge Of the contest, shall prepare.
They will be flied with water"
A sad look of hopeless despair passed
over his face. To drink water, even
though hc won, was lnglorious; but to
drink wine and pcrchaucc lose, that was
infinitely better. This decision resulted
in an argument that lasted half an hour.
aud the wae drinkcr was then convinced.
On the evcnliU! night tho two men sat
down to the table SIX bottles before them
The younger man was quick to tho fray,
the elder de5paTcd when lie tasted the
pure unadultcratcl water. Bgt he mas
tered his tastes aud drank with conquer
ing smile. When the sixth cork was drawn
each contestant stared At the other. This
was wonderfully conducive TO cheerful
feeling. and SO they promptly glared At
one another. That made them rampantly
Joyous. Down came one pUEdcrous iiSt
on the table, aud its owner. the elder man.
roared out: "Fopl, how can you win: I'm

In the meantime preparations for the

SANTA CRUZ IN ASHES
The Heart Of The Pretty Little City
Completely Burned 0lt.
LOSS QUARTER OF A MILLION
Some of the Finest Business Build
ings In the Place Destroyed
Tho Court House Went
With Chinatown.

SANTA CEuz, Cal, April l5.-Thc great
conilagration of last night reduced to
ashes 81 buildings in the heart OF the city
and caused loss Of more than S265,uOl,
with less than SlOl,uOJ insurance. One
block reduced TO ashes is bounded hy Pa
ciilc avenue. Cooper aud Grant streets,
and contained some OF tho finest build
ings in the city.
The fire started in the rear OF Henry
Rice's frame building on Cooper and
Front streets. A northwest wind was
blowing and this helped 10 madden the
fire which had by this time fastened upon
George Stailler's building and Was slowly
eating its way towards Pacific avenue.
The buildings burned with great rapidity
and the flames from the wooden buildings
on Cooper street threw a shower OF sparks
on the scorchcd domo Of the county court
house which soon irnitod the court house
interior and burned it out.
Chinatown, which consisted of - franc
shanties, was threatened every moment
10 be in tho path of the fire. The
heathens worked hard TO save the town,
but the wind famed the flames into the
town, and being of very InHammable
character, the shacks caught and burned
like finder. The Cinnamon saved little of
their effects. Mayor deter telegraphed to
san Jose for assistance. A steamer came
on the train 20 miles in little over an
hour and lent valuable assistance in
checking the flames. WatsonvIllo sent a
steamer. and il was largely due 10 this
fact that the fire did not spread over moro
territory. At 4 80 o'clock the fire was un-
der control.
The burned district to-day presents n
picture ue devastation and the shoulder
ing ruins are being watched by guards 10
prevent another outbreak. Tho county
officials made good Use of tho time when
the court house cupola was burning and
carried all Of their books and assessment
rolls to places OF safety.
The important buildings consumed were
as follows: Shaiftor's furniture store,
F.ukei's grocery, Iiolfman's real estate
Offices, Mckinney 4 Sons real estate
office, Louvre saloon, justice court, Leon
ards block, Citizens bank and law Office,
Pilot Hose company, liotaling block
three stores; Werner building, Simpson
building.
Crossing Cooper street, the court house
was entirely destroyed. Chinatown was
likewise burned. Tho fire was stopped at
the Peasc block, which was badly dam
aged. The total loss is estimated S3D0,OOO
insurance estimated $500.

FEAsTEo AND TOASTED.



OMAHA, April l5,-kcllcy and his l.2D
troopers spent the beautiful Sabbath in
the nloymept Of more luxury than they
have known since they loft home two wcess
ago. The army reached tho confines OF
Omaha shorty after g o'clock. The train
was hauled To a side track just inside tho
city limits. Chief Scayey was there with
two platoons Of police. Tho authorities
had provided 2,i0l loavcs OF bread and
2,ooD pounds of cooked beef, while firm
had gwen l,OOl pies. This provender was
in two box ears which were quickly at
tached 10 the Kelley train and then tho
procession moved on.
Chief Seayey had asked Kelley TO keep
his men on the cars aud they have been
kept there. Two or three thousand people
gathered there, aud many crossed TO
Council Bluffs with the train. Notices of
various kinds were displayed. At the
Union Pacific transfer yards in Council
Bluffs there was a crowd of 700 or 5000.
Seven companies OF militia were drawn
up in linc. When the train pulled in a
great cheer was sent up. Both the citizens
and the Kellcyites joined ia making tho
depot sheds rattle with their yells. Blau-
kcts aud comfor;crs were tumblcd out of
the cars and camp pitched about 1000
yards from tho depot. Breakfast was
soon under way.
After breakfast there began n reception
which lasted well into tho evening. Fully
300 people visited the camp. The disci-
plinc OF tho army is as perfect rs that OF
well drilled regulars. During the after
noon public meeting was held. Kelley
and a number Of local labor leaders made
speeches.
In his address, Kelley said helcould not
understand why tho militia had been
called out. His intentions wcro peace
able and the army was well behaved. lie
had no intention of making trouble for
any one. When they get 10 Washington
they will argue the necessity of making
some sort of preparations for taking care
OF tho unemployed.
Governor Jackson's action IN calling out
the militia has been criticized by tho
citizens rather harshly. Governor Jackson
jusIliies the action 10y saying he had ~
ceiycd many kilograms asking for the
prccaution and hc had finally concluded
the troops would hn absolutely necessary
to preserve order. Some speculation as to
how Kelley would get away from Council
Bluffs was heard hut at midnight nothing
had been settled. Many recruits joined
here. The contributions of provisions were
liberal. A collection was taken at tile
close of Kel!ey's speech and amounted to
SlO5 g1
