ARDMORE IN ASHES.
Business Portion of the Indian Territory
City Destroyed by Fire.

City Destroyed by Fire.
ARDMoRE, I. T., April 2o.-The entire
business PORTION Of this city was wiped
out by fire. and l50 business houses,
among which were many two and three
story bricks, are smoldering mass Of
ruins. The aggregate loss entailed is va
riously estimated at between $500, 600 and
$500, 600.
The fire started in the livery barn Of
Harper s. Cecil, in Caddo street 1t spread
with marvellous rapidity, and within less
than an hours time nearly every business
house on that street was in ruins The
city has no fire company or waterworks,
but the whole male population turned out
and desperately fought the flames Two
large brick national buildings and three
other business houses on Main street, part
of Caddo and the postoffice are the only
business houses left standing
Twenty-six livery horses were roasted
alive in Harper a. Cecils stables, and a
man named Neu, a stranger who was per
mitted to sleep in the barn, was so badly
burned that be cannot recover. The cause
Of the fire is not known, there being va
rious rumors as to its origin, but it is un-
doubtedly iuoendiary
Tho large federal court building and jail
were destroyed. Eighty prisoners confined
in the latter were removed to the Baptist
church, beyond the danger line, and placed
under heavy guard

WOMEN AND CLOTHES.
A Wise Britisher Considers Americans
Spend Too Much.

"A wise Brft1sher Considers Americans
Spend Too Much.
From the London Spectator.
We so often find ourselves on the side of
the rich, and opposed to those who rate them
for existing. that we are a little pleased to
discover subject upon which we can join
in the chorus of reprobation for what may
fairly be denomjnated sinful extrava-
gaEce."
1t is stated on fair authority that one firm
Of diapers in New York has on its books the
names of forty ladies' whose accounts for
dress materials exceed, on an average, $10-
wv, or E2OOO, year. Their bills are pre-
serted semi-annually, and are paid, say the
happy drapers by their husbands without a
murmur. 1t Is expressly added that this
expenditure does not include Jewels, which
are, of course, to the extent of thirds
OF their shop value, permanent investments;
or laceS, which are nearly as durable as lew
els, but is confined to perishable articles
Silks satins,s embroideries. and the things
usually included when women speak of
dress"
We have little doubt that the figures are
correct, for they are far below those which
were published when, after the fall of the
second empire Partisan firms like NJ
Worth's We're compelled to sue their best
customers, and We find it impossible to dis
cover for such OUTLAWS a reasonable excuse
The usual oae-that it is all a question of
proportion and that it Is no more repre-
hensible for woman whose husband earns
f2O,OOO year to spend $4,000 on dressing
herself, than for woman whose husband
earns f5UO to spend f5O-iS palpably unSound
The defense for any expenditure not alb
solutely necessary is it's result. The result
sought in expenditure on a woman'S dress
Is that woman's attractiveness and it is
simply impossible that attractiveness can
be greatly increased by incessant variat ton
OF costume. The idea of the perfect dress
must at last be reached, and, after that
every other must involve a certain deterio-
ration in good looks; yet without almost in
cessant change or robbery the sums quoted
nearly 6l1O a month, or ELS a week, and can
not be explained by any richness of material
for furs are nearly as durable as la ces--nor
by any other quality in the dresss them
selves. Style costs much, but not all that
The only conceivable explanation is rapid
ity of change, and in that rapidity is waste
of the senseless kind which is not unfairly
described by the old epithet now so rarely
applied to extravaganza, namely, sinful
Money is, in fact, destroyed with no object
except meaningless competition or posi-
lively evil ostentation that is to say, pow
er Is wasted or miSuSed as much as If its pos
SCISSOR applied strength or courage or beauty
or the gift Of expression to evil or to useless
ends. The standard of living is vitiated, for
all women are more or less initiative, ard
true perspective in expenditure, which is as
essential to the sound management of life as,
true perspective Is to drawing, is hopeleSSly
disregarded in order to secure an impression
of blazing colcr, in fact, a striking visible
CeSS.

ALWAYS REMAINS POOR,
The Turkish Farmer, With All His
Frugality. il Rarely Able to Exist.

From the St. James Gazette
Injured as he has been to a struggling ex-
istence, it has had the effect of making him
gloomy and taciturn. In place of a neal
farmstead fird a howell constructed of
sun-dried mud bricks. This one-room hove
without any windows (the only light and air
admitted comes down the chimney, serves
him and his family as their residence. Ad-
joining this we find a cellar-lke building,
which serves to house his live stock. All
the surroundings are dirt and untidiness.
In the place of a garden we see heaps OF
manure The walls around the premises
are studded over with Jumps of COW dung
undergoing the process of trying for fuel.
On the whole, a Turkish farm hovel has
desolate and cherries look about it, and
it is no wonder, with all there miserable sur
roundings, that the owner should partake of
their nature.
Turkish farmer, and it is owing to this that
he has been able to exc out a miserable eX
iStence. His tastes are simple and his re-
quirements few. He produces everything for
his Sustenance at little cost his food con-
sSts for the greater part of bread, for which
he grows the wheat. This is sometimes
varied by a soup made of sour milk and
crushed wheat boiled this is most nourish-
ing and satisfying dish. He also cooks an
other dish, equally good, of crushed wheat
boiled and Favored with fresh butter.
Sometimes he INDUCES in a dish of fried
eggs Coffee he drinks occasionally This
completes his dietary. and. simple as it is.
he Is strong and healthy. and generally of
fine physique. He thinks nothing of
twenty or a thirty-mie walk. or of doing
Gays work of sixteen hours. He would fare
badly with the eight-hour system. His
clothing costs him even less than his food.
He cultivateS the cotton, from which the
women spin the yarn and weave the calico
for his clothes. He also allows himself
jacket made of bright-colored Manchester
print The sheep finds him material for
warmer covering. He knits his own stock
ings. Boots are unknown to him; he manu-
features out of a piece of untanned cowhide
a pair of sandals. His cattle find him fuel;
he collects all their manure and dries 1t in
the sun. This warns his house, it makes
good bright fire. and also serves to light the
room. Lamps and candles are too great a
luxury. Tobacco he sometimes INDUCES in.
In spite of all his frugality he remains poor.

The argument SO far as the Presidents re-
ception was concerned, was that II was
lions, and that street clothes were not in
keeping with the brilliancy OF the scene.
Now the man who wears a swallow-tail
coat at the White House New Year day
low-necked gown would be an objectionable
transgressor of the conventionalities Or
dir airy visiting dress is therefore the proper
thing for all callers. For card receptions
at the White House and everywhere else
full dress Is obligatory. Many ladies other
wise very well dressed are constantly seen
at the White House and at other large te-
ceptions wearing bonnets, and men burden
ed with their overcoats and hats-au Of
which should be left in the cloak rooms.
Only officials keep open house New Year
day, or, at least, publicly announce their
intentions. Of late years many women are
seen making the round of the cabinet
houses, but it is not a practice to be COM
mended. HELENA MCCARTHY.
