A CHAIR FOR THE JUDGE.

A Pleasant Variation in the Business of
the District Court.
Captain J. G. Waters this afternoon
appeared before Judge Hazen in the dis
trict court room, and in behalf of the
jury which has served during the pres
ent term of court, made a speech pre-
senting Judge Hazen with a handsome
chair.
The chair is upholstered in leather and
is very valuable.
Judge Hazen has since he has been on
the bench tried to discourage the practice
of juries presenting the court with reso-
lutions and making the judge presents at
the end of every term. In a speech to
one jury he told the members of the jury
that they were empanelled to work and
that was what they were expected to do,
instead of saying nice things to the court.
The talk had its effect and that jury adj
journed without even thanking the
Judge. Such an astonishing thing had
never happened before in the history of
Shawnee county,

THROUGH SHEETS OF FIRE.
Children Dropped OF q Burning Build

Children Dropped OF q Burning Build
ing Into Blankets Below.
NEW YORK, May 31.-A terrific expIo-
sion followed by a fire occurred at 4:30
O'Clock this morning in distillery on
the ground floor of a double tenement
house No. 129 Suffolk street, resulting in
the death of Lizzie Yaega, aged four
years, and seriously iujuring four others
Twenty families tenanted the building.
Inc explosion and fire cut them oil from
the stairway. Fifteen children were
thrown from upper windows. Some of
the old persons escaped by creeping on
the. narrow ledge of the second story to
the window of the next house. Two men
living in the house in the rear Of the
burning building got blanket and used
it as net in which to catch the chill
-dren dropping from the windows above.
There were fifteen dropped in all. The
children had to be dropped through a
sheet of fame which was leaping from
the side of the building between the
windows and the blanket below in the
rear yard.
After the children had all safely been
dropped, the older ones jumped Hyman
Ehrenwost and his son made the perilous
jump in safety but Mrs. EhrenWOst was
quite heavy, broke the blanket by her
great weight and she was severely in
jured.
The fremen arrived at this time and
set to work to save the rest of the Occu-
pants of the building. Chief Abearne
found little Lizzie Yaega on the third
floor unconscious. She died a few mo-
ments after being removed to the hos
pital.
Meyer DIETRICH aged Al was badly
burned in attempting to get out through
the lower hall. Several persons on the
top floor who were overcome by smoke
had to be carried out by the fremen.
The damage to the building is estimated
at $4,000. Three persons were burned
to death in the same building two years
ago.

FRAZER STILL RISING.

Floods Destroy Hundreds of the Best
Farms In the Valley.
VANCOUVER, B. c., May 31.-The Fra
ger river is still rising and the indica-
tions are that the floods will be even
more disastrous than the great flood of
1882.
The river has already risen within
eight inches of the high water mark of
that great inundation. Though the
whole valley is under water, the Frazer
having spread out into vast lake, the
tide is crawling up at the rate of an inch
every three hours. At Nicomen Island,
forty four fine farms are entirely under
water,

Mr.. Cecil Ray know his place before 1
was done with him.
The days flew by, and to our dis
may just bfoare the wedding day we
were visited by a fearful rainstorm;
rain, rain, rain! It was too provok-
ing. It was enough to make one
wild. No cessation-no let up. The
roads were speedily rendered impas-
able; the number of guests would
necessarily be diminished; and, worse
than ALTO me-the flowers which
was to wear-pure white hyacinths-
were at home in my fathers conserva-
tory-five long miles away. My dress
would be nothing-my costume spoiled
without them; SO I argued Nothing
else would be suitable; no other flow
ers could possibly be worn with my
pretty white lace dress I was per-
verse, obstinate, ridiculous / can see
it all now, with a keen feeling Of
shame at my own silly pride and fool
ish vanity.

At the meeting of the city council
Monday night Mr.. Fulton of the Fifth
ward will offer resolution asking for
the appointment of a special committee
to confer with the county commissioners
for the purpose of having removed the
great pile of dirt and debris that is

fair grounds. This debris drifts down
stream and makes it unpleasant for the
people in Walnut grove and Parkdale.

my life, and all the remaining days of
my existence will not be enough in
which to prove my sorrow and re-
morse.
It was all on account of Eva Car
rolls wedding. was to be first
bridesmaid, and Susie Parker was to
be the second. My cousin, Frank
Forest, was chosen for her attendant
At first there was no one selected for
me; really, there was no one good
enough, thought, in all the big, old
fashioned Southern country town of
Dunford. Why was Judge De Vere's
only daughter! The very first in the
land might be accounted my inferior.
So reasoned in my silly pride and ar
rogance, little dreaming of the devil
GUS ways through which Fate was
guiding my feet
The day appointed for the wedding
was only a week distant; still no one
had ventured to suggest a suitable
attendant for me. Susie and 1, to-
gether with dozen friends, had come
to the great old-fashioned country
house which was Eva's home, in the
midst of vast sugar pIanta ton; and
here we were to remain until after
the wedding.
s'But how can it come off at all"
walled Susie, madly, ''if nobody is
good enough to serve as best man?'
Laurence Perth was the name of the
bridegroom. He was strangers
Mediterranean the friend who was
to have been best man had at the last
moment succumbed to our national
scourge, la grippe, and Perth was at
his wits end for substitute,
Somebody entirely perfect-to
stand with Edith" the bride-elect in
formed him.
To my intense astonishment and
disgust, he announced his determine
ton to ask Cecil Ray.
Cecil Ray indeedi Why he was al
most stranger in Dunford; and be-
sides-was only a drawing master.
He had taught class for several
months, and / was his least success
full pupil. He had endeavored to
guide me, to correct my crude work,
and teach me some thing of his art, but
had numerically snubbed him; treat
ed him coldly, insolently, till one
day he had informed me that 1 was not
well bred, and that until I was ready
to mend my WAYS, he would dispense
with my attendance at the drawing
class.
OF course, Lawrence Perth knew
nothing of the feud between Ray
and myself; and he had extended
an invitation to the young man-who
had completely captivated Perth's
fancy-before Eva could explain the
true state of the case. To our intense
surprise, knowing his dislike for me,
Cecil Ray consented 1 was furious;
but what could do?
II tempted to withdraw alto
gether," 1 cried angrily, when the
truth came out, 81 cannot endure it;
Mr.. Perth must be out of his mind"
''Oh-please-please Edith, do not
refuser' pleaded Eva ''Just think, it
will only be for a few oments, and
then-you will be free. Do not let
anything occur to mar the occasion

So, what could L do but consent?
