Clergymen in America are a privileged
class, and they ought to be a very happy
set Of people. In Germany and France,
and in Italy also, they must render mill
tary service. just as laymen do. In
Germany 1t is the custom to do them d
favor by consigning them to the hospl-
tails, where their professional skill will
come into play but in France, on the
other hand. and In Italy too. no favors
Of any kind are shown them. They must
take their chances with the rest OF the
world and go into the ranks. We Ameri-
cans are a little less severe and a good
deal more respectful great many
clergymen were In the civil war, and
some few were in the ranks as common
soldiers. but II was their option to oc-
cupy that position. The truth Is we
treat everybody pretty well in this coun-
try, and It is the best spot on the globe
TO live in.

Colorado's Famous Mining Town Visited
by Inccndiaries.
Cripple Creek. Col, April 27.--With
the aid of dynamite and giant powder
a fire which started at one o'clock u.
m. Saturday, and which threatened to
wipe out OF existence the town OF Grip
pie Creek, was overcome, but not be-
fore at least million dollars damage
had been sustained by the town. Some
estimates put the loss at 81 ,0o0. 900. but
these are wide OF the mark. The insur-
ance will reach $250.000. The buildings
occupying eight blocks of street. to-
gether with their contents, were ut
terly destroyed. One hundred and fifty
business houses. the post Office and a
bank are in ashes. Five or six hun.
dred persons will have TO find new
homes.
Positive evidence has been secured
10 prove that the fire was the work of an
incendiary for the purpose OK making
a raid on the First national bank, which,
now appears TO have had on deposit
something over 100000 on account Of
the near approach OF pay day at the
leading mines. Chief Marshall Inns re-
vealcd his reasons for keeping heasy
armed guard on the town. He said he
had positive Information that the city
was in the hands Of one Of the boldest
gangs in the country. and that the fire
was started TO loot the bank during the
excitement. In support of this theory
the chief says that the fire broke out in
several places NJ the same time and all
were just TO windwnrd of the bank.
