HEROINE BURNED TO DEATH.

Pittshurg Girl Saves Two Lives but
Loses Her Own.
Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 2.--Bessie Os-
borne, aged 10, saved the lives of her
younger brother and sister Thursday,
but in doing SO she lost her own.
When the three children retired at
night, the gas in the cooking stove was
turned out and a coal fire in the dining
room adjoining allowed to burn. At
o'clock in the morning Bessie was
awakened by the odor of gas. She has
tened to the kitchen and found that
the rubber tube connecting the stove
with the pipe had been forced off by
strong pressure. allowing the gas to
escape. Bessie's first thought was to
get her sister. aged 4, and brother, aged
6, out of the building. She opened
the door of the dining room to hasten
to them. The gas from the kitchen
rushed in and terrific explosion fol-
lowed.
Bessie's clothing took fire, but, en-
deavoring to keep the flames down
with her hands, she rushed to the bed
room and, wrapping the two children
in blanket, carried them together
through the burning building to place
of safety on the sidewalk. Then she
dropped from exhaustion and was car
ried to the home of neighbor. where
she died. The two other children es-
capped with few slight burns.

the Bank OF France, which has been

question. The discussion will be vio-
lent, as on the one hand there is the
question of defending an institution

and on the other hand the Socialists
will attack the banks privilege as
spoliation, benefiting the plutocracy at
the expense of the masses.

Never Lose Sanctity.
Berlin, Nov. 4.-The Reichsanzeiger
replies to Prince Bismarck's organ, the
Hamburger Nachrichten, on the latest
phase of the dispute concerning the dis
closure of the Russo-German treaty or
18S4-90, saying:
THE question of the period of time
required for secret diplomatic occur
rences to lose the character OF state Sc
crets can only be decided by the states
men in Office by virtue Of their respon-
sibility and special knowledge OF the
political situation. If Germany gave
an unconditional promise to keep secret
the fact as well as the purport OF the
negotiations with Russia before 1890,
the obligation is still binding upon all
cogn!zant OF the matter, and this con-
sideration also precludes the POSSIBLE
ity of discussing the essential points OF
