MT. Schoenberger's House Damaged

MT. Schoenberger's House Damaged.
 The handsome residence of Emil Schoenberger, located on Davenport avenue, corner of Vernon street, was damaged by fire yesterday morning, and the loss is estimated at $3, 900, which is covered by insurance. The fire had gained a good start before it was dis covered, and by the time the firemen had arrived it had spread from the center of the house to the east wall and had then ascended to the mansard roof, which was burning. The flames had worked their way in between the par titions and in order to'reach them, the tiremen were compelled to tear off 8 large quantity of plastering in many of the rooms. The fire, it is supposed, was caused by the woodwork about the heater becoming overheated and ignit- ed. MT. Schoenberger had sick son in the house at the time and he was re- moved without trouble and without any ill effects. Richard Worcell, a pipeman connected with steamer No. 3, was se- riously injured while responding to the alarm. He was on hose carriage, and in making the turn the wheel of the carriage struck the curb and Worcell was thrown off and struck on his throat upon a post beside the roadway. He was sent to physicians office and was later taken to his home.

Ia the West pIscontented?

There Is some discontent within the limits of Nebraska. With the unsuc- cessful. even though they have done more than fairly we'll, the sense of not being as far along In the race as those with whom they made the start Is irri- tating. The tenth commandment Is undoubtedly often and badly shattered in Nebraska: but fancy we are neith- CT the only sinners nor the chief of sin ners in this respect. Men here, as else where, are in haste to get rich; not sim ply to secure a competence. With many others the present complaining Is hereditary. and comes to them with their New England blood. Most we'll organized, normal New Englanders are always lon the road to the poorhouse." The only difference between New Eng land and Nebraska seems to be that, whereas in the former people go cheer fully and willingly and seem rather to enjoy the prospect (they rarely get there, of course-those who are always talking about 1t never dol, their de- scendants in Nebraska, with the same prospect in view and entertaining it just as sincerely as do their ancestors (which Is not sincerely at alp, grow rebellious at the very thought. The dlscontent which really does exist, however, Is not so much discontent with ones individual lot as with the existing order of things. Unquestiona- bly the opportunities of life are in some way-and often apparently by legisla- tion-transferred to the few. In our haste to build an empire in night, we have not always guarded carefully the interests of all the people. It would sometimes seem as though our chil- dren could not possibly govern them selves any worse than we have gov erned ourselves, and that if they do not vastly improve in all methods of public administration they will suffer more than we do.
 Out of such bitter experiences, how ever, and out of this kind of rational discontent, are evolved all human inn provements of the race. This kind of discontent seems to have naturally and properly become a powerful factor in American public life. But as for our selves and our neighbors as individu- als, and in our own individual and pri- vate interests and affairs, it Is safe to say that 95 per cent. of the people of this state fall easily under any thoughtful definition of the expression "contented classes. es."-Chancellor J. H. Garfield in the Forum.

The Personal Element inI Literature.

A young writer almost invariably fancies that if he were known in the proper quarters his way would be easier and his success assured. Not necessarily; we might almost say not at all, for if his work is taken on the ground of personal acquaintance, there must be something rotten in the state of that particular Denmark. It does not-or it ought not to-matter where he comes from or what are his personal charms or virtues: the only introduc- tion he ought to need is that of his pen. He-or she-may be a millionaire or a social leader: does that fact make his Cor her) writinge any more readable or more instructive? Editors and read CTS" who are fit for their posts neces- sarily judge manuscripts on imperson- al grounds. In the office of any prop erly conducted periodical the merit of an article is far more important than its source A publishing-house brings out books because they seem likely to sell, not because they are by friends of the firm. Established reputation counts, of course. because it indicates probable quality in. and commands at- tention for, whatever bears noted name; but would any publisher or edi- tor hesitate over the work of Captain King or MT. Thomas Hardy because he had not met them socially? Did MT. Howells or MT. Kipling make his suc- cesses by having friends at court?
 A pretty story is told of how that warm-hearted woman. the late Helen Hunt Jackson, on discovering a young poetess fresh from the west, bundled the lady and her manuscripts into 8 hack, drove triumphantly through a srow-storm to the office of g reat magazine, and there demanded and ob- tained instant recognition and success for her protegee. If the tale were true, 1t would imply worse management than any successful magazine is apt to enjoy. An editor would be justly doomed who should accept lady's po- ems because he liked her looks and manners, or because she had g power ful patron. If the poems are of the right sort, she needs no other intro duction; if not, no amount of backing and boosting can change their charac- ter.-Lippincott's

GREAT MUSICAL TREAT.
The Boston symphony Concert Saturday

Tho Boston Symphony Concert Saturday
 Evening.
 The Boston Symphony orchestra, whose performances are always a de- light to lovers of fine music, will give it's only concert at the Hyperion theater next Saturday evening. The concert will introduce as soloist one of the distinguished stars of the present mu- sical season, Caesar Thomson, the fa- nous Belgian violinist. MT. Thompson may confidently be classed as one of the very greatest living violinists, and so far as absolute mastery of the tech nique of the instrument is concerned he probably has no peer. The ease and certainty with which he plays passages of the most amazing difficulty excites the wonder and admiration of all vio- linists and has led him to be frequently referred to by the critics as "a sec ond Paganini." MT. Thomson will play with orchestra the lovely Adagio from the G minor Concerto by Bruck, and the Concerto by Paganini. The orches- tral numbers to be played include Pas sacaglia, Bach; Symphony in B minor, No. 1, Brahms; Suite, "L'Arlesienne" No. l. Bizt; and the overture, s'Carne- val Romain," !" Berliox. The sale of seats opened yesterday morning at the box pfiices Of the Hyperion theater.

 Yesterday.
 The grand bazaar heldby the Woman's 8 Relief corps of Admiral Foote post at Mechanics hall on Chapel street yes- terday afternoon and evening was att tended by large crowd of people and was a great success, quite a large sum of money being raised for the old and disabled soldiers and their widows.
 The hall was very prettily decorated with flags and war scenes. The booths were beautiful and were most taste fully arranged and decorated. In one booth hot chocolate was served. Mrs. kinner, Mrs. Whittlesey. Mrs. Under wood presided over this booth. At another cake andice cream was served, Mrs. Bodwell and Mrs Whitaker pre- sided at this booth. At the other booths fancy articles and candy were sold.
 In the evening an entertainment was given. which was participated in by Miss Lottie Reynolds, the well known elocutionist; W. Manning Reynolds, Miss Grace Holbrook, Miss Lillian Hol- brook, Miss Irene Evarts, Roy Root and Mrs. F. Reynolds and Baby liar ris, aged five years. Miss Lottie Rey- onlds recited her new selection, Mar tha Virginia's Hand," which was most heartily applauded. She responded to an encore. Roy Root is a very bright lad of eight years and recited in a most entertaining manner. Miss Grace Hol- brook played several selections on the mandolin and Miss Lillian Holbrook acted very acceptably as accompanist. Baby Harris gave some very cute and pretty songs and dances. The executive committee is as fol- lows: Chairman, Mrs. P. A. Foster, Mrs. E.. A. Woodford, Mrs. Gregg, Mrs. Bodwell, Mrs. E. Reynolds, Mrs. W. H. Foster.
 Mrs. E. Reynolds was chairman of the entertainment committee.

 There was quite little excitement on the corner of Center street and Whit tlesey avenue late yesterday afternoon over the misfortune of John B. Zimmer, who lives down near Northford. He had come in town with load of wood and on going down hill one of the horses, which was smooth shod. had fallen in the street. A crowd soon col lected and tried to get the animal on its feet, but without success, and Humane Officer Austin was soon on hand and attempted to kill the horse, to put 1t out of its misery. After two shots from a revolver had been fired into the horses head an axe was brought into requisition, and after a little prellmi- nary pounding the animals life was finally drove out, and the carcass hauled one side and to-day will be taken down to the bone mill.

Thicrs and Sardou.

As sardou was paying to M. Thiers then president of the republic, the cus- tomary visit of a candidate for the Academy, he astonished the historian of the Consulate and of Europe by speaking to him of the transforma- ton of the modern theater through the spirit which the new writers have infused into it by the correctness and wealth of details.
 sI have stopped at the comedies of N. Scribe" said M. Thiers.
 Monsieur le President, have you stopped at the furniture of the time of Louis Phillippe?' replied Sardou.
 "No," and he looked around him.

Napoleon and Rousseau.

In one sense 1t Is true that the first emperor of the French was a man of no age and no country; in another sense he was, as few have been, the child of his surroundings and of his time. The study of politics was his own notion; the matter and method of the study were conditioned by his re- lations to the thought of Europe in the last century. He evidently hoped that his military and political studies would one day meet in the continuation of a grand career. Those years of his life which appear like realization of the plan were, in fact, the least success fuk. The unsoundness of his political instructors and the temper of the age combined to thwart this ambitious pur- pose. ... .,
 Rousseau had every fascination for the young of that time-a captivating style, convincing logic, the sentiment of poet. the intensity of prophet. A young Corsican would be doubly drawn to him by his interest in that romantic island. Sitting at the feet of such Q Gamaliel, the young scholar would learn through convincing argu- ment the evils of g passing social state as they were not taught elsewhere. He would discern the dangers of ecclesias- tical authority, of feudal privilege, of absolute monarchy; he would see their disastrous influence in the prostitu- ton, not only of social, but of personal morality; he would become familiar with the necessity for renewing insti- tutions as the only means of regenera- ting society. All these lessons would have value not to be exaggerated. On the other hand, when 1t came to the substitution of positive teaching for negative criticism, he would learn nothing of value and much that was most dangerous. In utter disregard of a sound historical method there was set up as the cornerstone of the new political structure a fiction Of the most dangerous kind. Bonaparte in. his notes, written as he read, shows his contempt for 1t in an admirable refuta- tion of the fundamental error Of Rous- seau as to the state of nature by this remark: T believe man In the state of nature had the same power Of sensa- ton and reason which he now has, But If he did not accept the preinises, there was . portion of the cohelusion

ExOnerated the Road.

New York, Dec. An inquest into the death of Dr. Francis Whittemore, of Boston, and George P. Basley, of this city, who were killed at Cortlandt street on November "A, was held by Coroner Whitlock to-day. Many wit nesses testified that the men accident ally fell M front of the train. W. F. Pollock, a friend of the dead men, and 1who was in their company, declared that the doctor playfully struck Basley on the back and the latter fell off the platform. Whittemore then leaped upon the track to save him, and both were run over. The jury exonerated the road and employees from all blame, and de olared that the men were accidentally killed.

CARLISLE'S REPORT,

Secretary Sends His Annual Statement to
 Congress-He Discusses Ftnances-Urges
 Upon Congress the Necessity for Rem dial
 Legislature
 Washington, Dec 4.-Secretary A. Car. lisle's report of the operations of the United States treasury department for the year ended June 30 was presented to congress to-day. It treats in detail what was only touched upon by the president in his annual message on the financial policy of the administration. Under the head of Currency reform" Secretary Carlisle takes up the subject, which he treats exhaustively.
 He thinks the tariff laws will yield an ample revenue for the fiscal year 1896 as all their provisions will then be operative and the prospective improve ment in the business of the country, if realized, will greatly increase the re- sources from which taxes are collected and accordingly surplus of $2s,s14, ,s2o Is estimated for that year.
 Regarding that the issue and redemp- tion of circulating notes by the gov- ernment and the inability of the sec retary under existing law to make prompt and adequate provision for the support of the public credit, the sec retary urges upon congress the neces- sity for remedial legislation during its present session.
 As to the. present issue of bonds to replete the gold reserve. the secretary says the disposal of the issue of $50, ,000, 1000 Ito the Stewart syndicate upon the basis of 2.S75 per cent. jus- titles the opinion that 2h per cent. bond, having a reasonable time to run. could probably have been sold at par and certainly that at 3 per cent. bonds could have been disposed of. He repeats the recommendation made in his previous report that in the in terest of the government the power be conferred upon the secretary to ne- gotiata loans at a lower rate of interest and for 3 shorter time than are now allowed. s,
 The secretary declares that the law should be amended to conform. to the present conditions and requirements of the public credit and service and he
