FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA.
The Quaker City Has Another Large
 Conhagration-


 Confiagration-
 PHILADELPHIA. March s4. = Chestnut street west of Fifteenth was visited by most destructive fire, which for a time threatened to prove as disastrous as the fire of Feb 8, when the seven story Hasel tine building and that of the Baptist Pub lloation society were destroyed The fire broke out In the six story building k the Thaokera Manufacturing company, man. ufacturers and dealers in fancy gas fix lures and candelabra, at 1524-26 Chestnut street. The firm employs about 2O0 hands. who were at work at the time.
 The fire originated in the front cellar and was not discovered until 1t had eaten its way through the first floor. An alarm was sounded, but before the engines ar rived the entire front part of the building was on fire. Meanwhile majority of the workmen made their escape. About a dozen or more. however, were hemmed in and had to be taken from the windows by the f1remen-
 The Thackera building runs from Chestnut street to Sapsom, 6 dis ance of a36 feet, and has frontage of 40 feet It Is owned by William weightman and is valued at $500, 900. fully covered by insur- ance The rear part was but slightly damaged. The loss on the building will amount to about $15o. 900. The Thackera oompany's stock. machinery and patterns were valued at about s25o. 900. These are a total loss. but are covered by an insur- ance of about $150. 900. Hale & Johnson, architects. occupied several rooms and met with small losses Sbarpless & Watts, manufacturers of tiles and mosaics, in the baker building. adjoining. lose about s20.- 900. principally by water. In this same building are number of tenants who oo- cupied the Haseitine building at the time of that fire. They, along with a number of others, met with small losses

"The woman's club Is going to discuss parliamentary law tomorrow evening, Billiger," remarked Mrs. McSwat, ''and l dont think I shall go. don't take any Interest In It.
 Parliamentary law, Lobella," said Mir. McSwat magisterially, ais something you can't know too much about You ought to familiarize yourself thoroughly with its usdges. A clear understanding of par liamentary law" he went on, warming with his subject, ''would be useful in all the relations of life. If l were asked to name one thing, Lobelia, that Is caloulas- cd to add self reliance to character, assist In solving the problems that arise from day to day and make the burden of life less''-
 "Now, what Is the use of your going on like that, BilligerS' interrupted Mrs. Mo. Swat. "What good would 1t do me to study parliamentary law, I'd like to knowS
 You would learn not to talk when you are not In order, replied Billiger, bury ing himself in his newspaper again.
 And Mrs. McSwat went out to the kitchen and talked In a loud and expostu- latory tone of voice to Bridget for the next 16 6minutes.-Chics go Tribune.

Empire State Republicans Declare For

 lore-McKinley League Formed.
 NEW YORK. March 25.-The Republic an state conv entiou was held at the Grand Central palace. Senator Cornelius K. Parsons of RochestaBwas chosen tempo rary chairman and Congressman George N. Southwick of Albany permanent chair man. The secretaries were John s. Ken yon. Charles A. Ball, Lafayette Gleason and Reuben l.. Fox.
 . The following national delegates and electors were chosen:
 Delegates at I4arge-Thomas c. Platt, Warner Miller Chauncey NJ. Depew and Edward Lauterbach.
 Alternates at Large-Hamilton Fish. Frank s. Witherhee. c. D. Babcock and Daniel H. MoMillan.
 Electors at Benjamin F. Tracy of New York and K. H. Butler of Brio.
 In its platform of principles the conven- ton expressed itself with distinotness and emp asis against the free and unlimited coinage of si yer at the raj 10 of l6 to 1 de- plored and condemned the constant agita- tion of this quest. on as disastrous to the business interests of the country and de- clared'in favor of gold standard for the payment of the debts of the nation so long as that is the only standard recognized by the nations of the earth.
 1t affirmed the principle of protection to American industries-a thorough and efficient protection. but yet judioious ons. not calculated to foster monopolies. It indorsed the pr nciple of reciprocity.
 The convention also indorsed the ad- ministration of Governor Morton. and the delegates al large are chosen In the inter est of his pres dential candidacy.
 The Mckinley followers made demon stration of their strength by attempting to have Edgar B. Jewett and Samuel Thomas substituted as delegates at large in pla of T. c. Platt and Edward Lauterhach and to instruct the delegates to vote for Mckinley if Governor Morton Is not nominated on the first ballot The proposition, though greeted with great ap- plause. was defeated by vote of 63l to 109. The Mckinley strength came main ly from the counties of Kings, Erie, Cha tauoua and Cattaraugus

NEW WOMAN IN LITERATURE.
Seannette Glider Gives Her Ideas Concern s ing the Talked of Creature

Eeannette Glider Gives Her Ideas Concern ing the Talked of Creature.
 The new woman of the novelist is crates. She is the creation of writer who is hysterical and degenerate, and the world takes her as something that really exists. To be sure, there are plenty of women with ''pasts' and with "yearnings," and there always have been and probably always will be. but doubt if any woman outside of an insane asylum talks the rubbish about spiritual impacts, tells that i've are tones of one chord" and about the "vile slavery" of marriage, as do the women of Miss Rendered and Mir. Grant Allen. Writers of this sort do not represent the women of the day any more than the painted women uf the streets represent the wom- en of good society.
 The jaundiced writers of "The Yel- low Book" cannot be expected to give us pictures of healthy lives. Their tastes run to worm eaten fruit. They have no liking for that which is red with the hue of health. They prefer the yellow hue of decay. Dr. Nordau is quite right when he calls it disease. The heroines of ''The Yellow Book" of 'Discords" and of "Wreckage" might have been taken from Lombroso's study of the fe- male offender. If they exist outside of their creators brains, their cases will be found recorded in scientific studies of criminology or in the ordinary police re- ports.
 The new woman as find her outside of the pages of fiction is an industrious, healthy minded, healthy bodied young person, with certain amount uf inde pendence, who cares more for out of door sports than for indoor follies, and who if she has work to do does it and does not waste her time in telling about it. Her spirits run high over the adventures of"A Gentleman of France" she laughs and cries by turns over "Trilby" and thinks "The Dolly Dialogue" great fun, but for Yellow Discords' and the like she has no use.
 I lam happy to say that little of the hysterical literature of the day originates in this country. It is almost entirely of English origin. Some of our younger writers have tried their hands at it. but they do not take to it naturally, and ii is fast going out of fashion.
 There always will be a handful ci people who liks eroticn. but I think there has been turn in the tide which even at its highest never swamped the writers of purer fiction. Rudyard Kip ling and Mrs. Humphry Ward have many more readers than Grant Allen and Mary L. Rendered, and in this country our writers of clean fiction art l the most popular. Glider.

And, oh, she dances such a way No sun upon an Easter day Is half so fine sightD

the gifts and games of colored eggs and Q hundred other charming beliefs and GUS toms which got imbedded in the popular mind, sometimes varying. too, with diff ferent localities-all these were inherited by Christianity as the heir-at-law of the worlds antecedent estate, religious and social. The connection of the lily with Easter, on the other hand, the conseora- tion of this flower us a resurrection em- blem, seems to have no root in the old, but to belong to the new spiritualism of Christ, ns representing best in the flower Kingdom the ideal of stainless purity, con- joined with stateliness of form and beauty of line.
 Easter customs are not widely divergent In different parts of Christendom. The Greek church, however, particularly its rrrp-.--a branch, still retains the once uni yersal salutation of Easter day between all those meeting in or out doors-"Chris Is rispn," with the response, "He Is risen indeed" and a resounding kiss. In Rus sia the beggarly tramp Is entitled to this, If the chance occurs, from the empress herself. The use of the oolored pasch, or pace egg, often elaborately ornamented, Is everywhere prevalent, originally signify ing the bursting of the year from its egg in the beauty of spring. The lovely dame or maid who delights the masculine eye In new gown and bonnet on Easter Sunday scarcely imagines herself doing just what the ancient Teutonio woman did, who was enjoined by religious custom to dance around the bonflres of Easter In a newly woven woolen tunio.
 Much more might be cited about the historic and legendary association of this quoen of Christian festivals. But enough has been said to indicate how 1t has drawn to itself sap and lustiness of life from facts and forces akin to It's original thought, and with what oonsummate policy organ ized Christianity has selected building materia. out of the wreck and debris of re- ligions which once enslas ed the imagina- tion of man.

Len to Perish In Flames.

SYRACUSE, March 23.-Adam Wise. aged e5. set fre to tho house In which he lived and which was also occupied by his niece, Mrs. Frederick Hornung, and her family. The woman and her liitle son wore asleep in an upper room at tho time, and tho old mans intent was doubtless that they, as well as himself, should die in the flames. The fro was discovered by nelghhors, who awakened Mrs. HornunR and the child and succeeded in getting them out up- harmed. It was supposed that wIse. too. had escaped. but half an hour aftor tho fire was subdued his dead body was found upon the sofa in his room. He had died without struggle. Tho police are con vinced that Wise must have taken some drug immediately after starting the flro
