Families in Peril For n Time.
CLEVELAND, o.. April IA fire which
started at 2 o'clock this morning in
three-story tenement house at the corner
of Muirson and Oregon streets, caused
loss of $4,000 and put the lives of the
members of fifteen families in peril for a
brief time. The fire started on the sec
ond floor of the building, which was a
frame structure and the occupants of the
upper suites of rooms all reached the
fire escapes in safety with the exception
of one young woman named Mary Cox,
who jumped from a third-story window.
Charles Wesley and Louis Traves, who
were standing below the window saw the
girl preparing to jump and joining their
hands caught her as she fell. They were
thrown to the ground but succeeded in
breaking the force of her fall and she
escaped with a broken arm and a few
bruises. Nearly all the people lost their
personal effects. The losses are mostly
covered by insurance.

done to keep this from being a nation
OF tenants. The men, who cultivate
the earth should own it. He would ex-
cept homes from sale not only under
execution, but from every description of
taxes. In granting divorces, he would
give the wife divorce eff she re-
quested it, if she wanted it." There
is no danger in demoralizing the world
through divorce. He would not allow
the man to cast off the wife unless she
had fiagrantly violated the marriage
contract.
But fer the sake OF the community
he would give the woman divorce for
the asking. There would never be
generation of great men until there
had been q genera ton of free women.
The speaker referred to
THE LABOR QUESTION
and said he saw no satisfactory solu-
ton of it except through the civilization
of the employers and employed. Great
railroads should pay pensions to their
worn out employees and care for them
in their old age. The employee must
learn to make reasonable demands of
his employer.
Every child should be taught to be
self-supporting and everyone should
be taught to avoid being a burden to
others as it would shun death. Chill
dren should be taught to think, to in
vestigate, to rely upon the light of
reason. Nothing should be taught in
amy school that the teacher does not
know. Beliefs. superstitions, theories.
should not be treated like demonstrat-
ed facts. The child should be taught

and let him build up the wounds of
his fellow creatures and at the same
time put forth every effort to hasten
the coming of the better day. This
in my Judgment is the real religion.
To do all the good you can is to be

CHICAGO, April 12.-Colonel Robert
G. Ingersoll spoke before the Militant
church congregation today in response
to an invitation extended by the pas
tor, Rev. John Rusk. The Militant
church is organized for the purpose of
lettering the condition of mankind, re-
gardless of creed or lack of it.
Colonel Ingersolls address, which
was given in Hooley's theatre was, in
part, as follows:
Man has advanced just in the pro-
portion that he has mingled thought
with his work just in the proportion
that he has succeeded in getting his
head and hands into partnership. Ma
ture, generous and heartless, extrava-
CANT and miserly as she is, is our

j. M. Tanner again spoke differently
relative to the existence of g commit
tee but denies emphatically that it
was appointed with the object in view
to hold the ecclesiastical lash over the
heads of Mormon members of the leg
islature. He said that at the time the
university bill was under consideration
it was generally understood that the
measure was Objectionable to the Nor
mon church as it gave any institution
of learning in possession of 100000
worth of property the power to con-
fer degrees. After the bill had passed
the house he was invited by Mr.. Sharp
to work against the bill, which he did.
Mr.. Tanner was under the impress
sion at the time that the first presi-
dency was opposed to the measure,
and that committee had been ap-
pointed, although he. personally, had
never been approached by the church
authorities. He would have lobbied
against the bill even if he had not
been invited to do so.

He swallowed the last mouthfu] Of
bread and fell to work again, beginning
TO cut groove around the middle of the
log by incessant and careful strokes of
the pick; In turning the piece of
timber, he saw where the mountaineer's
shot had plowed deep furrow in it,
and he knew then that the bruise on his
arm had been made by the glancing and
half-spent bullet. He scarcely needed
the grim reminder, and as he bent patti
emily to his work he thought how quick
lv the school Of privation and hardship
begins to impress its lessons of indiffer-
ence upon the mind.
There are many things easier of ac-
complishment than the cutting in two
of a six-inch stick of tough oak with the
dull point of pick as substitute for
an AK; and the muscles of: Ringbrand's
back and arms were in painful rebellion.
and his hands were sore and biistered,
long before the thing was done. As a
college man, he had been rather fond al
athletics, and the training of the
university gymnasium. reaching up
through the everything years of Sc
dentary habit, gave him the power of
endurance aud enabled him to keep
steadily at work in spite of the protests
OF back and arms and hands; but. this
did not lessen the acuteness of the pain,
nor did it dull the keen agony Of appre-
hension that seized upon him as he saw
how slowly the cutting progressed.
Notwithstanding his perseverance and
the feverish energy with which he
worked, the hands of his watch marked
the hour of noon when the last remain
ing fibers of the wood gave way under
the blows of the pick, and, stopping
only long enough to get drink of water
from the pool, he carried the pieces to
the point determined by the measure
ment with the rope, and began to fit
one of them brcast-high between the
vertical walls as the first round OF his
ladder.

Good resolutions, backed by whatever
plea of advisability or necessity are not
always certain to bear fruit after their
kind. When Ringbrand flung: himself
down beside the log to wait for the
dawn. he fully intended keeping awake 4
in order to take advantage of the earliest

deavor. So ran the alert determine alton; 1

BRling Hay.

In reply to query about baling hay
direct from meadows the editor of The
Hay Trade Journal thus replies in the
columns of The Rural New Yorker:
This is done along the Hudson river,
where the hay is put aboard barges and
sent to New York city for immediate
use. The hay is put up in large bales,
Weighing $50 to goo pounds, but loosely
pressed, and even then, oftentimes, this
hay gets hot and loses in value very ma
terially My advice is to have the hay
well cured before pressing, as it would
be disastrous to press it from the field
and put 1t i'll store. Only Immediate use
could prevent it from heating and being
total loss. | made an experiment in
this direction number Of years ago.
