add that sowing to the lack of adequate
laws the leading citizen was permitted to
commi. this crime.
This tragedy discloses an exceedingly
common fault in the government OF Amerl-
can cities. The citizens OF Wheeling saw
this outrage being committed, and not one
of them, not even the Mayor, had the civic
spirit sufficiently developed to apply the
simple remedy OF court injunction, and
it is not supposable that this act caused
the passage of an ordinance prohibiting
others from committing similar outrages.
The science of architecture is so well IN
derstood in these days that there is no
difficulty in devising reasonable safeguards
against fires and structural weakness, but
in the absence of laws defining modes OF
construction and in the presence OF lax
administration of such laws as do exist,
the mean leading citizen, who cares more
for monev than for the lives, safety and
health of the people, finds hardly any
check upon the propensity to murder which
his rapacity creates.
San Francisco has a great number OF
enormous wooden tinder-boxes into Whlch
people are packed by the thousands, but,
terrible as they are, they are not WHIT
worse than other disgraceful ACCOMPANY
ments of a lax public sentiment. a city
in all its public details is an expression OF
the pride and intelligence of its lnhaoi-
tants. Its rich men would not be per
mitted to erect dangerous or unheaith1ul
structures If the masses were not Wiling
that they should. The people OF Wheeling
in permitting this disaster, cannot escape
a share of moral responsibility with the
owner of the house. If any of the danger
Gus structures of San Francisco should
burn, the blood of its victims will rest upon
the head of every resident.
Likewise, every citizen of San Francisco
must bear the disgrace and material loss
which the presence of death traps, fire
holes, inadequate sewers and wretched
pavements imposes. 1t is not sufficient to
say that the City is young and that the
correction of these evils will come with
time, for observation is as valuable as ex-
perience. A stranger will properly judge
the character and intelligence of a city by
its externals, and If he comes hither from
a city where the externals are more invit
ing he will be justified in deciding against
investment and residence here. The
pavement of Market street alone is bar
rier that the superb natural attractions of
the City can with difficulty overcome.
When we compare the perfectly smooth
and noiseless streets of Los Angeles with
the rude, primitive and exasperating pave
ments of San Francisco, we need go no
further in our quest for the cause of the
wonderful prosperity of that charming
city of the south.

MUSICIANS HELD UP By A LYNCH
ING PARTY.
BY JAMES E. WILSON.

Theatrical life does not bristle with thrlillne
incidents as a rule, but / remember once nav
ing an experience that few actors ever me-
with. 1t was when was with the first Englsh
speaking company that ever crossed the Mex
can frontier On our way we played through
Texas.
Just before our arrival at the town OF Dennl
son, a horrible murder had been committed.
forget the details, but the town was muen
stirred up over the affair, and patrols were oul
for miles around securing the country TO mo
the murderer. The thing did not trouble US
and our band, in which I played first cornet
set out to promenade the streets as usual
On our way back to the hotel we were met by
big mob, heading toward one OF the suburbs
and the leaders commanded US to turn BACK
and lead the procession. 1t seems the muir
derer had been caught and the mob was on It's
way to lynch him. There was no joking abou,
the way the leaders said, go ahead and play
q lively tune" So having no choice left to US

than those SO filed, certified and officially
held be refused admission to probate.
Thus nearly all probate contests and every
doubt as to the genuineness OF the wills
would be forestalled, and thus also a
double benefit would be done in that our
courts would be relieved of an increasing
mass of unsavory litigation, and decedents'
estates would in every instance be dis
tributed, and that speedily, in accordance
with their undoubted desire. Such a reform
in the law is crying need of our State
and time

A WARNING FROM WHEELING

In 1891 leading citizen of Wheeling,
West Virginia, bought an old concert hall,
the walls of which had been condemned as
dangerous, and in spite of popular pro-
test added a story to the structure and
opened a store in it. This building, as
everybody expected, has now collapsed,
killing number of persons and greatly
damaging contiguous property. The dis
patches announcing the catastrophe naively

AS it seems likely that the theater
managers of other cities will follow those
of New York in abolishing billboard and
Autograph posters, the newspaper will soon
reign supreme and without a rival in the
field of advertising. The proposed change
is certainly in the direction of common
sense and good business, the only draw
back to it being the danger that advertis-
ing supplements in glazing colors may
become necessary feature of all future
journalism.

THE B. Y. P. UNION.
The Report Of the Board Of Mana
gers, to be Read To-Day, Shows
Most Encouraging Conditions.

Baltimore Md, July 1.-THE re-
port of the Board Of Managers, to be
read tomorrow forenoon, al the first
session Of the Fifth International Con-
vention of the Baptist Young Peoples
Union of America, says:
The spirit Of the annual reports for
the past three conventions has been pro-
gressive. There were nine organized
States represented at our first historic
convention at Chicago. There are thlr-
ty-one States organized to-day, and we
have with us reports Of the two unions
in Canada, that Of the Maratime Pro-
yinceS and that of Ontario and Quebec.
The last year has been emphatc3lly
the best of the four hich the Union
has seen. Enthusiasm for the move
ment was greatly kindled by the To-
ronto convention Orr Canadian and
Southern brethren were introduced 10
each other last year at Toronto. THIS
year North and South, East and West
have come together in notable ways Tor
Baptist fellowship and cooperation. IL
is quite certain that this great nome
gathering of our American Baptist
Young People, 10 sing, to pray, and 10
confer together for or common latin
and work was never more widely ap-
proved than at this time. When we
consider that nearly one-third Of Ameri-
can evangelical Christendom are Bap-
list. it is surely a grand and worthy
order that we have once year such
gathering. While cherishing the kind
est of sentiments towards the compre-
hensive movement of Christian Endeay-
or in Its efforts 10 include all denoml-
nations in such meetings, we may never
theless believe that the proper develop
ment of our Baptist millions imperative
~ demands these conventions OF more
specific UNCONVENTIONAL sentiment ana
purpose. In holding such\ meetings we
believe that we are planning most in
diligently for the future of the cause
of Christ as it's destinies lie within our
responsibilities.
Delegates are constantly arriving.
They are coming thousands strong and
are keeping the reception committees
busy
The crowds will continue to come un-
til tomorrow night when the last del
egaton is scheduled to arrive from New
Brunswick. Canada.
The members Of the entertainment
committee have scattered among the
various churches, which are all used az
registration headquarters. Each dele
gate, as he registers. is given souvenir
programme. map Of Baltimore, conyen-
ton song book, advertising fan, booklet
guide TO the city Of Baltimore, and a
convention badge. A lodging place is
also assigned each delegate.
