TELEeRAMs FROM various cities OF

Tr1EGRAMs FROM various cities OF
the North are to the effect that Labor
Day therein was pretty generally OF
served as holiday. This is tree
country and every man in it has the
right to take holiday when he feels SO
disposed, and if many of them choose
to take it on the same day, no sane man
objects. But, all the same, the fact that
there is now a ''labor day" revives the
memory of the other facts, that nearly
all the successful men this country has
produced were born with pewter spoons
in their mouths and commenced lie as
day laborers, and that they never
struck. nor had labor days, and always
worked more than eight hours day,
and is suggestive of the idea that ii
thew had restricted their work to that
number of hours they would never have
heen heard of outside their own imme-
diate neiphborhood. Hard and long
labor is the necessary prelude to sue
cess and no matter what object man
NAV have, if he would achieve it, he
must commence work early and stop
late The most successful are those who
have worked the longest and the hardest
and of them, there isn't one who
wouldn't feel himself blessed il ne
could rest from his labor when most
other people do. But they know that
if they idle they must fail, and SO early
morning and the midnight lamp find
them at their work, and thoughts OF
it even drive peace from their sleepless
rest

steinson, dressed in mems clothing,
Yesterday went to the house of w. ].

and threatened to kill him II ne ever
told that he had been robbed.

THE blame of the continuance of the
rowdyish and cowardly custom of haz-
ing at Annapolis and West Point lies
solely and entirely upon the superin-
tendents of those institutions. If the
cadets were as certain of their dismissal
for indulging in it as they are of their
dinner, when the hour of that meal ar
rives, there would be no more oft, and
that they are not, is the fault alone Of
their commandants.

THROWN OUT THE WINDOW

THROWN OUT THE WINDow.-A
thrilling scene was witnessed in New
York early yesterday at a fire in the
five-story building at the corner of
Fifty-third street and Park avenue.
The fire started in the lower part of the
building and cut off the escape of Mrs.
John Donohue, who, with her two little
children, lived on the fourth floor. AT
ter the flames had gained great head
way Mrs. Donohue appeared at the
window of her fiat with her two child
rem in her arms. The people in the
street saw her kiss each child, and then
with shrek let them drop, one after
the other. The little ones struck on q
canvas awning, from which they bound
ed into the arms of those who stood be-
low. Mrs. Donohue was preparing to
jump when fremen succeeded in reach
ing her with a ladder, down which she
was carried.

IT Is reported that some OF
the heretofore close districts in this
State have been made safely
democratic by the departure OF
many of the negro voters thereof to the
coal and coke works,and to the sites OF
other industries in the Northern States,
where they have obtained permanent
work with good wages. AS the ne
groes are to remain in this country, at
least for many years, it is better that
they should be scattered over the whole
of it than confined to the South, and as
the North freed them, it should GER
tainIy give some of them employment,
even though to do so shall make them
competitors of its white people in the
increasing fight for bread and meat.

The Pythians.

The Supreme Lodge, K. of P, now
10 session in Washington, expects to
complete its work by Thursday of this
week ut the latest. The questions now
disturbing the lodge are whether there
shall be ritual in German and wheth-
er liquor dealers shall be admitted to
membership. No action was taken
Yesterday on either of these questions.
A split in the knights is said by mem
bers of the Supreme Lodge to be pos.
sible, and perhaps probable outcome OF
the meeting now in progress. Already
the committee designated to consider
the question of the membership OF Ii
quor dealers has decided to report
against the future admission OF this
class, and now it is understood that the
committee in charge of the matter
known as the German question:" that
is, the question of permitting lodges to
perform the ritual in that language,
has decided to make an ironclad report
for the use of the English language
only. It is said by Supreme Chancellor
Blackwell to be the intention Of Py-
thians to make their order patriotic
one. and to bend all its influences to
the support of the institutions of our
government. The opponents of the
German lodges say that the perpetual.
ton of foreign language in the United
States will not tend to the support Of
the institutions of this government, and
think that foreign members in the
United States should be AmericaniZed.
| The German lodges have been open in
the avowal of their determination to
secede and conduct their branch OF the
order on their own responsibility in
case the contest went against them.
Among the features of the constitu-
ton as far as adopted is one providing
that each grand lodge shall have. two
supreme representatives at large and
one for each full 10000 members of the
subordinate lodges within the dominion
of such grand lodge, membership in
the insurance branch of the order shall
not be compulsory and the ranks of
past supreme officers shall hereafter be
known as the honors of past supreme
officers.
RI. C. White, of Tennessee, keeper
of the records and seals, and Repre-
sentatives Bunnell, of Manitoba, and
Pryor, of Kentucky, constitute the
committee which will fix a time and
select place for holding the next
meeting of the Supreme Lodge.
The committee on the Uniform Rank
has reported adversely upon the sug-
gestion that rifles be substituted for
swords on the ground that the change
would conflict with the militia laws OF
the several States.
A memorial was presented from the
Pennsylvania Grand Lodge petitioning
the Supreme Lodge to Internationally
repeal, rescind and annul the legisla-
ton of last session providing for the
printing and issuing OF the ritual in the
English language only.
The committee on appeals recon-
mend that the appeal of W. P. Griffith
w. the Grand Lodge of the District be
dismissed, as there is no merit in the
contention of appellant.
1t is understood that committee re-
port will be made against the recogni-
ton of the Pythian Sisters as an order.
Yesterday afternoon solemn memo
rial services in memory of ex-Congress-
man George B. Shaw, of Wisconsin,
past supreme chancellor, were held.

JUDGING from an interview with Mr.
Hume, onr of the supervisors of Alex
andria county, in another column OF
to-day's GAZETTE, the State would
have been saved the entire expense OF
the recent removal of the Co1eyites
from her borders, by the simple observ-
ance of the promise made by her offi-
Gals to those who were engaged in re-
moving them as rapidly as possible
But the State is rich, and can well at.
ford to bear totally unnecessary ex-
pense, though she did recently repudi-
ate large portion of her public debt,
for the assigned reason that she was
unable to pay the whole amount.

WHILE sugar stock has gone down,
every housekeeper knows that the price
of sugar has gone up. Why the latter
condition should be, as the tariff tax on
a hundred pounds of sugar is III cents
less now than it vas under the recent
ly repealed Mckinley bill, is not plain,
unless it be that the sugar men are
1ressed for the money which, some il
logical friends of the President say, they
promised certain U. S. Senators for in
sisting upon the sugar tax of the Cor
man tariff bill, to which, over his own
name, the President said he was not
opposed, and which is one-quarter OF q
cent pound less than that which his
friend, Mr.. Wilson, first proposed.

The RESULT of the election in Ar
kansas yesterday, like that in all the
other States in which elections have
been held since 1892, except Alabama,
where there were special reason for
bringing out the full democratic
strength, shows that large number of
the men who have heretofore invari
ably voted the democratic ticket didn't
take the trouble to go to the polls,
while all the republicans did. But
in politics, as in war, privates never
fight we'll under a leader who they
have cause to think evinces more con-
sideration for the enemy than for them
selves.

THE SOUTHERN RAILwAY.-On Sat.
urday, the LIST inst, the reorganization
of the Richmond Terminal system was
definitely and formally completed, and
The last of the many properties which
under the plan of reorganization have
l1s5 their unhappy and unfortunate
Identities and become merged in a new
and propitious enterprise, passed into
the possession of the Southern Railway
Company. The Southern Railway
Company operates $500 miles of rail
road and about $50 miles of water line.
Described briefly, and ignoring many
small branch lines, the Southern Rail-
way Company extends from Washing
ton, or, more properly, from this city
and from West Point and Richmond
via Salisbury, N. c., to Augusta aud
Atlanta Ga; and thence to the Mis-
sissippi river at Greenville. At Sails
bury another main line crosses the
State of North Carolina by way of
Ashevilie; thence over to Knoxville
and Chattanooga, Tenn, and from there
to Rome, Ca, where it divides, one line
going to Brunswick and the other to
Meridian, Miss. Another line runs
from Louisville to Lexington and Bur-
gin, KY, there connecting with the
Cincinnati Southern.
AS result of the reorganization over
thirty corporations, whose affairs and
securities were inter!ocked in every
conceivable way, and in almost hopeless
confusion, are united in one company.
The properties embraced in the re-
organization had bonded and floating
debts of about S135, 900, 900. This is now
reduced to bonded debt of 1914 ,000, 900,
including sufficient bonds (which are
reserved) to take up all underlying
bonds and all the bonds and stocks of
the 491 miles of leased railroad. The
company will also issue about $4,000,
600 more bonds during the next two
years to purchase additional equipment
and improve the properties, which will
make the total bonded debt of all kinds
$100,000,00O. The plan of reorganiza-
ton wisely provides that $40, 100000 of
bonds additional Ito be strung out
through series of years. may be issued
hereafter only for the further develop
ment of the property.
The interest charges before the re-
organization were about 81 500, 900 per
annum, and sinking funds were about
100000 to 100000 per annum ad-
ditional. The new company's charges
are 81, 100000 tor 1894, s4,7OO,OOO for
1895, and S., 400, 900 for 1896.

On my way south to Tonic, A. T., ! was
obliged to pitch my lone camp one night
amid the MogOllon mountains and on the
very border of that dark weird and awe
inspiring section known as the Devil s
range had heard great deal about
those mountains. and naturally was not
delighted with the thought of camping
there, but night came on, and utter eX-
haustion of both myself and my horse
compelled a halt.
1t was favorable spot close by clear
bubbling spring, from which my horse
and myself drank our fill. The grama
grass grew fresh thereabouts, and pick

other survey being made later on.
This data. you see, really constitutes
a sort of capital or stock in trade, for if
the party owning the land ever wishes
another survey of it for any purpose he
will naturally apply to that same sur
veyOr, who. having these old memoran-
da, can do the work easier and more
cheaply than any other surveyor. Often
times, after many years have elapsed
and old landmarks have passed away,
those minutes become very valuable.
Consequently civil engineer always
wishes to keep these in his own hands,
and men in his employ are not allowed
to make copies of minutes of surveys
which they make while in his employ.
Otherwise an old employee, in leaving
and setting up in business for himself,
could carry away large slice of his en-
