it cannot be stolen, neither can il
be destroyed by fire. 1t is a saw
ings bank which never breaks, and
t pays large interest to it's deposi-
tors. 1t has been truly said that
real estate is the basis of all
wealth, and he or she who possesses
it, be the quantity ever so small,
has something tangible on which
to rely in times of adversely, as il
elways has a fixed value, which
cannot be said of perishable prop

The owner of a piece of real es-
tate is the owner of a

or that out of which he or she can
make a home at pleasure, and the
time is not far distant when the
owner Of a home will be independ-
emit indeed as well in this country
as it now is in foreign countries.
Every person expects to be the
owner Of a home sometime, but
he masses Of the people let the
opportunity for securing q home
pass UNDECIDED, andsoon prices and
terms of payment are beyond their

acquired a portion Of the earth as

THE STATES DISGRACE.

The Elmira Reformatory Commission
held a meeting at the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel yesterday to hear the opening OF the
defense which Lawyer" WINS sought
to foreshadow In a rambling newspa-
per article IA few days ago. The begin
ming OF the task of proving the Elmira
torturer a mild and humane man was
not very promising.
The witnesses relied on to disprove
the charges made on behalf of the State
are mainly the associate demons OF the
bathroom and the solitary cells who
assisted the Superintendent in his en-
forcement of discipline. After declaring
that he had never witnessed any Tex
cessive brutality on the part OF Brock
way towards his victims, one of them
admitted that he had seen prisoners
struck in the face with the cruel paddle
when they turned their heads to plead
for mercy; that he had washed blood
stains from the walls OF the torture
chamber. and that he had himself
heated the iron hook to a red heat be-
fore using 1t TO drag refractory prison
ers from the dark cells for bathroom
discipline"
While testifying that the hook would

would catch hold of 1t as 1t was thrust
into the cell, he was asked whether II
was hot at the time. His reply, made
with a grin, was: well. l guess they

CUsToM.HOUsE REFORM.

The Dockery Commissions report on
the New York Custom House Is likely
TO occasion considerable excitement in
political circles. both inside and outside
the Wall street building.
The Commission makes the startling
discovery that the Custom House has
been used more as a political asylum
than as a business department of the
Government of great Importance to the
commercial interests OF the country
In consequence of this condition of af-
fairs, which. OF course. no one has sus-
pected, the positions have been multi
Piled, the work indifferently done and
the cost of running the institution very
largely increased.
The Commission recommends cut
ting down of employees. the appoint
ment OF experts in the business Of
revenue collection, rather than in the
running of district politics. and gen
eral consolidation OF Offices, which Will
add to the efficiency but decrease the
patronage Of the department.
The present Custom House force Is
largely Republican. and has hoped to
remain undsturbed under the existing
Administration. But the incumben y
will scarcely feel as much chagrin as
will be experienced by the numerous
hard-working Democrats who have been
striving for the last year and a half to
obtain some share of the Custom House
Offices. so freely distributed among Re.
publicans during the Harrison regime.

THE WESTERN HORROR.

The stories that come from the scene
of the great forest fires give vivid
description OF the terrible incidents con-
sequent on the calamity, but yet they
convey only n faint idea OF the reality.
People driven into the lakes and rivers
and compelled to remain there for hours
until the fires had burned themselves
out. Men jumping into dry wells to
escape the flames and there slowly suf-
located to death without the possibility
of escape
There were many instances OF herosm
illustrative OF the noble instincts OF some
natures. The telegraph operator at
HnCkey. Thomas Dunn. who remained
at his post until the station was on fire,
to get despatch through to An out
train which brought 1t back to the depot
and saved the lives of more than three
hundred people, died OF his injuries yes
terday. William Best. the engineer OF
the train in question, who ran his cars
through the fire and smoke until as he
says, I'VE were almost breathing fire."
tells OF the efforts of the panic-stricken
passengers to induce the train hands to
pull out regardless OF the sufferers.

thought of doing such cowardly act"
