A SCHOOL HOUSE BURNED.
An Incendiary Burns the School House of
 District No 2.

Yesterday afternoon at , o'clock some dastardly wretch set on fire and burned to the ground the public school house in school district No. 2. The building was situated on the Smart place, two miles west of the city. Miss Emma Fesler has been for some months conducting a pri- vate school in the building. About two hours after the school was dis missed for the day yesterday the building was found to be in flames and it burned to the ground. The young lady says that it was un- doubtedly the work of an incendiary as no fire was about the premises at the closing of the school.

 MT. John NJ. Taylor acted as mas ter of ceremonies, and after an apol- ogy to the audience for a change in the program, he introduced Hon. $. M. Taylor, who delivered the wei come address.
 Mr. Taylor stated that he had pre- pared no address for the occasion, but had merely come on behalf of his fellow townsmen and the Mayor to welcome the Knights and their friends to Pine Bluff. In his usual delicious manner he paid glowing tributes to the order of Knights of Pythias, and stated that it's mem bers were always welcome, for they were among the best people in the State. They are patriotic and pledged to three noble virtues friendship, charity and benevolence. He told how rapidly the order had grown in this State, and said that since 1879 it had paid out to the wid- ows and orphans of members of the order over $54 ,00O. Tn conclusion Mir. Taylor after bidding the Knights hearty welcome, bade them to go over the city and see it's wonderful growth and future possibilities. He urged them to go to the great shops of the St. Louis Southwestern rail- road, located here, where they could enjoy and protitably spend several hours.
 The response was made by George N. Street, of Argenta, Grand Chan cellor, Knights of pythias of Arkan- sas, which was as follows:

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
THE SUPREME COURT, BY A VOTE OF 5 TO 4, KILLS THE INCOME
 TAX LAW.
Other Means Must Now Be Devised to Raise Money to Keep the Govern ment Machinery in Work
 ing Order.

The income tax law is dead. The Supreme Court of the United States killed it by it's vote yesterday. The Justices were at the Capitol early, and consultation began promptly at 10 o'clock and continued until noon. All members of the court were pres ent, including Justice Jackson. He occupied his seat with the other members of the court, making full bench at the delivery of the opinion on tho income tax law. The vote on the constitutionality stood, five against and four for.
 Those against the law were Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Field, Gray, Brewer and Shiras. For the law were Justices Harlan, White, Brown and Jackson. Thus the en- tire income tax law is declared void specifically.
 Justices Harlan, Jackson and Brown read the dissenting opinion.

Deputy Sheriff Robert Johnson Captures
 a Muchly Wanted Man.

He placed his prisoner in the county iail and there he will remain until the next session of the Lincoln cir cult court, when he will be tried. 1t is feared that if he is carried back to Lincoln county before that time he will be lynched.

in behalf of the Pythian fraternity here assembled, permit me to return our sincere thanks to the good peo- pie of the beautiful city of Pine Bluff for this princely reception.
 We have great cause t0 rejoice, as members of one of the greatest char itable institutions OH earth for the evidences which are constantly mui- tiplying around us, that our works have the Divine approval and that we as Knights of Pythias constitute one of the silent all peryad- ing influences which tend to lift mankind to a higher plane of existence, by restraining the evil tendencies of mans nature and cultiyating the n0bler attributes.
 We imprint on the minds of our membership, through the beautiful and impressive lessons of the ritual and in the Castle Halls, that aside from the imperative duty to love one another, and to practice the precepts inculcated in the teaching of the Say for, when on earth-that the pleas ure of doing good and being good far transcends all more sensual en- jOyments.
 The enobling virtues of Friend ship, Charity and Beneyolence are inscribed on our banners and are the  cardinal principles of our order.
 Our order is of the present. 1t is not rich in the love of centuries, but is the creation and pride of the best minds of today. It is not crowned with the veneration of age, but it is favored in its young and progressive manhood.
 It's origin effects not the distant past, but the events of today share , in it's growth.
 It's permanence Is written in the experience of men who have well considered the problem of life.
 It's corner stone is the friendship oi 1 the ideals, and its offices are the wants of humanity in every age and cline.
 None so strong, none so high, none so weak and humble, but may gather strength and wisdom from the fountain of truth, springing from the rock of eternal friendship, laid centuries ago i'll the cruelty of ty
 
 rants in that fair Sicllan Isle.
 The selfishness of wealth, the re fnement of classical education, the empire of power, cannot lift mer above the enobling influences SC world wide from the thousands o fraternal altars in this grand unior of States.
 The laws of our common nature find no man whose humanity is SC broad, whose heart is so warmed al friendships fire, that a glow cannot be brought to his cheek, a kindliel sparkle to his eye in the lessons from Gods silver sea of truth, telling mans duty to his fellows"
 The order of Knights of Pythias does not urge it's first consideration for popular favor. In it's work 0 elevating mankind, bringing sun shine and gladness to hearts il gloom, dispelling the clouds that gather about, and at times darker the lives of all men--it but asks and claims and has place side to side

VICTIM OF A FIRE.
Death of lieutenant Treacy, of Chi
1900 - Can Apfoptn

Death of Lieutenant Trescy, of Chi
cago, in San Antonio.
About eighteen months ago there
was fire in Chicago. The fire was
in the cellar of a drug store. Chi
cago has what is called an insur-
ance patrol, which is run on the or
der of the fire department, but is
SUPPORTED by the insurance COM
panies. Nicholas p. Treacy, a man
of about 30 years, and weighing
about 200 pounds, was a lieutenant
Of the insurance patrol. While he
was at work in the cellar of this
drug store, trying to save the
stock, large jar, containing sui
phuric acid, exploded. Lieutenant
Treacy and three others who were
in the cellar inhaled the fume Of
the acid and were carried out
almost dead. Two of the men died
a few days afterward and another
fingered for several weeks and
finally also succumbed. Treacy
was advised to come to San An
tonic. He arrived here about six
months ago and received a
monthly allowance Of sos. The
allowance ceased, and Lieutenant
Treacy was soon penniless. He had
formed the acquaintance of the
local fire boys, and often Wis.,
tied them while he had money.
His lungs were affected and he was
fast falling away. Without funds,
and too much pride to inform his
friends Of his financial condition,
Lieutenant Treacy walked out to
the poorhouse and asked for ad.
mission. The fire boys began to
miss their friend and inquired Of
his whereabouts. On finding him
they Immediately made up purse
and had him removed to Rev. G..
@. a. Roses place, on San Pedro
avenue. His health failed him
more every day and last Wednes-
day morning Lieutenant Treacy
breathed his last.
The funeral will take place this
afternoon from st. Mary's church,
Rev. Father Smith officiating. De-
ceased was a member of the
knights Of Pythias.

Since old gentleman Hester, from

! MAGNESIUM TORCHES.
More Advantageous Than the Or
binary Explosive Powders.
just the Thing for Amateur Photosra-
phers-How to Construct a simple Yet
Effective Torch for Burning Pure
Magnesium Powder.

Amateur photographers, and some
professionals, find in the flash light a
great accession to their Photographic
properties, inasmuch as it enables them
to produce really creditable work at
times and in places which would prove
Instantaneous if daylight had to
be depended upon.
For such subjects as require instan-
taneous work, the explosive powders
are useful, and perhaps in the majority
of cases necessary, but for nine-tenths
of the work flash lights of the torch
type, using pure magnesium powder,
without any explosive, answers per
fectly, while it has the advantage of
producing a less offensive smoke.
The annexed engraving, says the
Scientific American, shows an exceed
ingly simple and very effective torch
for burning pure magnesium powder.
1t is similar to some found at the
stores; it differs mainly in the matter
of construction and materials. A vial
three inches high, and one inch in
diameter, forms the receptacle for the
powder. The neck of the vial is large
enough to receive a small rubber or
cork stopper rubber preferred) having
two perforations. In one is inserted a
tube having it's lower end projecting q
quarter of an inch below the stopper,
this end being contracted SO that its
aperture is about one thirty-second
inch in diameter, or about as large as a
good sized pin. This tube is curved
over to receive the rubber pipe by
which the blast is furnished to the ap-
paratus.
In the other aperture of the stopper
is inserted a piece of tubing of about
three-sixteenths inch internal diameter
and length of three and three-quarters
inches. The tubes may be of glass or
brass.
A wire spiral bent into circle and
connected at the ends receives roll of
wooden cloth, or better filling of as
bestos fiber, and the end of the wire
forming the spiral is bent at right an
giles, and wrapped around the tube. A
quarter-inch space is left all around
the tube, between the tube and the
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1895-09-29

inner portion of the spiral. The vial is
one-quarter or one-half filled with fine,
pure magnesium powder, and the
fibrous material in the wire spiral is
saturated with alcohol. When all the
preparations for the exposure have
been made, including lighting the alco-
hol, the operator blows strongly
through the rubber tube; the concen-
trated jet stirs up the powder in the
vial thoroughly, and the air escaping
through the longer tube carries the
powder through the flame, thus pro-
ducing a spire of flame about two feet
high. Several puffs may be made if
the subject is one requiring strong IL
Elimination.
The principal point to look out for is
to make the contracted blowpipe of
such capacity relative to the discharge
tube as will insure the comparatively
slow passage Of the powder through the
fame. If the blowpipe is too large,
the powder will pass through the flame
so rapidly as to fail of igniting. In
this way large proportion of the
powder may be lost; but with correctly
proportional tubes the combustion is
very perfect.
The writer has taken a number of
fair sized interiors with this torch.
Pure magnesium powder can be used
in this apparatus with perfect safety,
but explosive powders used in a con-
fined space (such as the vial in this
torch) are dangerous.

A New Phase.

In discussing the action of Gov.
Culberson in calling the extra ses-
sion to stop the prize fight, well
known gentleman said to a LIGHT
reporter last night:
elias he the right to call an extra
session? When an individual in
terferes with a person or persons
who are pursuing legitimate oc.
cupation, and in the face OF the
fact that the said parties are strict
ly within the law, and proposes to
use force, possibly with the loss of
life, cannot these parties bind over
the first party in a peace bond for
making threats?"
