FIVE KILLED IN A FIRE.
chicago tlremen Buried Beneath Four
Falling Wallis.

Chicago, H., Nov. 22.-Ths inte-
rlor of the Exchange building a sew
en- story structure at the corner of
Van Buren, and Franklin streets, was
destroyed by fire to-day, entailing a
loss of s375,0Oo upon the owners
and tenants of the building and
causing the loss OF five lives. the ia
tai injury Of two others and the in.
jury of six other peopls, all of whom
are expected to recover.
The escape of Olga kellar of 575
Van Buren avenue is regarded as
marvellous by those who saw her,
when she appeared at fourth story
window. She was employed by Stein
& Biers, and when the room where
she was working began to fill with
smoke she ran to one of the windows
overlooking Van Buren street. She
threw up the sash, climbed out on the
ledge, clinging with one hand to the
narrow strip of wood on the outside
of the sash. She saw a few feet below
her the ladder, on which stood two
fremen, and she prepared to jump.
"Wait, don't jump" shouted Cap
tain Hermanson, who had almost
reached the window.
Great volumes of smoke poured
out the window where the girl stood
and at times her form was entirely
obscured. To the hundreds of per-
sons who were watching her from
the street the seconds seemed hours.
Cheer after cheer went up for Cap
tain Hermanson rs he climbed up.
He had almost reached the window
when he suddenly stopped None
on the street knew the cause. He
had heard the girl scream, and as he
looked up he saw her reel and re-
lease her hold on the window siding.
She had been overcome by the smoke
and had fallen. Captain Herman
son braced himself, aud as the un.
conscious form dropped he seized it
with his right arm. The effort near
ly cost him his own life, for he mar
rowly escaped falling. From hun
dreds of throats cheers were heard as
the brave captain descended the lad
der with his human burden. He was
greeted with unmistakable signs of
approval as he carried the girl across
the street into drug store. She
was unconscious, but a physician
said she would recover.

AGENT CLICK INDORSED.

Upholds His Recent Decision.


Upholds His Recent Decision.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 26.-Pension
Agent Clicks refusal to take from the
post office vouchers on which postage
was not wholly prepaid, has called out
letter from United States Pension
Commissioner Lochren. Mr.. Lochren
thinks Mr.. Clicks stand is good one,
and has ordered every pension agent
to take the same position. The com
missioners letter is as follows:
Continued complaints have come from the
United States pension agents that notarles
and claim agents, who undertake for pension
ers to forward their executed quarterly vouch-
ers for payment, habitually place a larger
number of such vouchers in one envelop, with
but one letter stamp or clearly insufficient
stamps for postage thereon with the result
that the United States pension agent must pay
postage on the packet when offered
for delivery TO him. or refuse
to receive it and allow it to
go to the dead letter office. No such case oc-
ours when the pensioner sends his own youch-
er as single letter stamp is always sufficient
for it's transmission. The notaries and claim
agents alluded doubtless collect postage from
the pensioners and dishonesty retain it, ex-
pecting that the United States pension agents
will pay the postage rather than delay the
payments. There is no way to end this petty
swindling except by the refusal of the United
States pension agents to pay such deficient
postage; and you are instruc ted hereafter to
refuse such payment If pensioners will in
trust their business to men so devoid Of hon
esty as to pilfer their postage. there is no good
reason why the loss and inconvenience should
not fall on them, rather than on the United
States pension agents.

Leslie's popular monthly is already

richness and beauty of pictorial Illus

literary contents, by anything that

opportunity is found in the intense
poetic story by A. Cressy Morrison
of The Man Who Resembled Christ
which, in addition is illustrated with
some original drawings of rare dsl-
icacy. In "The City of Dordretch, !"
George c. Hate fairly revels in tho
