dered man with eyeglasses and dark
mustache, dressed in a rough-and-ready
suit of Scotch tweed, was smoking
there very comfortably, his nose buried
in book. He lazily took his feet off
the table and rose to greet us.
"My nephew, supposed" said he,
stretching out his hand TO me.
"No, Prof. Jerrold, no such distinc-
tion for me-" said i. "There is the
trembling culprit, who should have met
you at the traiu. am his chum, Bob
Sawyer, and very much ut your service!"
The professor wrung our hands cor
daily, and expressed so prompt an IN
terest in the subject of dinner that we
adjourned to the dining-room at once.
There, at first, the soup and the salad,
the weather, and the professors jour
ney, supplied us with safe subjects for
conversation. Several spots of thin ice,
incautiously approached by Tom, were
dexterously slortcd by me, and we be-
gan to feel quite at ease. The professor
never alluded to such thing as comic
section or logarithm; and perceiving
that he was not only reasonable but
good-natured, felt that we would have
no difficulty in getting him out of the
way for the evening.
AS / lit q cigar after dinner, said
carelessly: IL saw you smoking, pro-
fessor, SO / presume apology is unneces-

"Quite unnecessary, assure you'll"
he responded, dryly; and we went back

BRAVERY OF A DRUMMER BOY.
Prevents a Terrible Calamity in a
Burning Schoolhouse.
Heroical1y Stands at His Post and
Drums Five Hundred Children
Out in an Orderly March.

OMAHA, Jan. 24--Ofie Downs the
drummer boy in the Dodge-street
school, caImed a panic ard prevented a
terrible calamity among 500 children.
He is less than II years old, but the
moment he heard the hall gong sound
the alarm of fire. he did not forget he
had important business.
1t was the crisis for which his little
head had been trained, and his courage
in the presence of a ratified principal
and excited teachers saved a dead and
injured list.
This young chap has been the mill
tary band of the school. 1t was his duty
twice day to stand at the bottom of
the stairs and march out the scholars
to the step of an army rattle. This ex-
ercise was called the fire drill, and the
pupils from the infant class up were
told they must never hesitate when the
drum should sound.
Each tot knew. his place in the line,
and so accurately and thoroughly were
the rooms trained that Principal Allen
boasted the big building could be
emptied in two minutes.
He had chance to practically test his
boast. He had hoped, despite the good
discipline, that the expected catas-
trophe would never happen. He was
quietly seated in hts room about 2
clock when Miss Hughs, pale and ex-
cited from fright, dashed in with the cry
that the building was on fire. She has
tened back to her charges and Professor
Allen ran to the gong. They heard the
rush of children upstairs and the
alarms from other teachers. There was
stampede, and in the excitement no
one remembered the fire rules or the
drummer boy.
Offie Downs kept his head. He saw the
smoke coming through the register
He did not think that it was necessary
to ask permission to leave the ROOM He
rapidly passed the instructors without
a word, and went down the two flights
of stairs on the run. He wanted the
drum and he got it.
Principal Allen was not in his room,
but the young hero did not hesitate to
enter. He pulled the instrument from
the hook and slung the strap over his
shoulder and plunged into the hall. The
smoke was now so dense he could barely
see his way, and on the floor above he
heard the teachers shouting to the
children to remain in order. There were
fire engines rafting outside, but like a.
soldier in battle Offie Downs stood at
his post.
He picked his way to the bottom of
the stairs just as the 500 pupils ap-
peared in a herd at the top of the stairs.
He pounded the drum for dear life. The
very first sound of it acted like magic.
Mr. Allen pulled three little girls and
one boy from under the feet of rushing
children and commanded them to keep
step to the music. The little ones then
remembered their lessons, and to the
music calmly came down the long flight,
as they had done a thousand times be-
fore. Smoke filed the entire building,
but in a minute from the time the band
began TO play there was not child in it.
The boy waited until Mr.. Allen told
him everybody was safe, and then he
came down the front steps. The crowd
cheered, and last night 500 families
sang the praise of his young courage.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Proceedings of the Second Days Ses-
sion of the Congress.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-At to-
days session of the Woman's Suffrage
Congress letters of greeting were read
from Carsie Clyde Holly, member of the
Colorado Legislature, and others. Miss
Anthony was presented with gavel
trimmed with Colorado silver.
Miss Anthony read letter from Sena-
tor William Call from Florida, intro
ducing A. H. Andreada, the American
Cuban. Mr.. Call explained in his letter
that Senior Andreada desired to be re-
cognized by the association, and hoped
that at some time during the congress
a resolution of sympathy would be
passed.
The letter was referred to the Com
mittee on Resolutions.
1--WE have sort of fellow feeling
with the Cubans," said Miss Anthony.
1--WE women know what it is to be de-
prived of self government, and know
what it is to be taxed when we don't
have hand in the assessments
Women are often taxed higher than
men. anyhow We can sympathize
with them and 1 would like to see them
have right to say how they viii govern
themselves This was greeted with
applause.
The finances of the association were
shown by the Treasurer's report to be
in excellent condition. George w. Gait
Of New York, husband of the General
Organizer of the association, read a
paper on the reasons of the woman S
rights victory in Utah. He said if
every State had as large a proportion of
organized suffragists as Utah, the Ma
tionaI American Woman's Suffrage As
soeiation would have an enrolment of
100000
The evening exercises consisted prin-
c:pally Of short addresses from the
Presidents of the various State oganiza
tions.
Mrs. L. c. Hughes. wife Of the Gov
ernor of Arizona, reviewed the former
conditions of her home in Arizona and
told of her efforts there to advance civ
ilization, and the good results there
from.
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson of
California said that her State hoped to
be the fourth in line where women could
vote. and stated that at one time women
were held at a premium in California
because of their scarcity, and men were
known to throw up their hats and hur-
rah at the sight of wUmen's clothing on
a wash-line in a farmyard.
Mrs. Anna Diggs, who spoke by proxy
for Colorado, a State now entitled to
woman suffrage. said that while the
State had secured its purposes. she was
lending her efforts to help the other
States.

UTAH'S SENATORS.
They Favor Free Coinage and a High
Protective Tariff.

OMAHA (Neb.), Jan. 24.-Frank j.
Cannon and Arthur Brown, the first
United States Senators from the new
State of Utah, passed through this city
this afternoon en- route to Washington
The train stopped but five minutes here
but this was sufficient time for Mr.
Cannon to speak enthusiastically but
briefly of the subjects of national i'm
portance, but particularly those Of
direct interest to Utah.
Mr.. Cannon said: I'VE are heartily in
favor of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio Of is to /. The
reason for our belief in silver is that it
is for the good, not only Of Utah and
the entire West, but for the people of

and do more direct benefit than any
other one thing except. protection"

and myself are firm believers in high

ruin an industry that is rapidly dying

KANSAS CITY (Mo.), Jan. 24.-There
are Democrats here to-day from al
most every corner of Missouri en- route
to Excelsior Springs where the Demo-
cratic State Committee meets to-mor-
row. The talk to-day was chiefly of
State politics, but whenever the ques-
ton of whom Missouri will favor for
President was mentioned, William r.

from interior Missouri said, and he
voiced the sentiment of nearly all, Mis-
souri, naturally wants a Western man
for President. HILL Olney and the rest
of the Eastern men are not available.
Mr.. Cleveland says he does not want
third term. and Morrison is all right
anyway. He has not declared himself
strongly on the money question, but is
friendly to silver. In short, he is such a
man as the Missouri Democrats can
unite on if they agree on a compromise
between the extreme elements. Then
he is our neighbor. which would natur-
ally make us friendly to him.

CHICAGO, Jan. 24-An explosion of
Swanson Rheumatism Cure Company,
on the second floor of the old Stock Ex-
change building, Dearborn and Mon
roe streets, this morning, wrecked the
contents of the offices on that floor,
insensibility the occupants of the build
ing, injured three persons and caused
a property loss of $4,000.
The injured are: Mabel Finerty,
Swanson Company employe, jumped
from second-story window, breaking
an arm and three ribs; Henry J. Bard
WELL President of the Swanson Com
pany, badly burned about head; J.S.
Robertson, hands burned.
The explosion was followed by an i'm
mense volume of smoke, enveloping
all the offices and the stairways and
elevator shafts. Nauseous gases also
ascended through the shaft and filled
the building. The breaking of glass in
windows startled the occupants on all
floors, and men and women rushed
out of the office, only to find themselves
half-suffocated and blinded by the
smoke and gas.
Escape by the stairways and ele-
vators was impossible, and there was
a wild rush for the fire escape. The
crowds on the streets saw terror
stricken men and girls hanging from
the open windows and fire-escapes,
screaming for help, which quickly
came from the firemen and brave vol
unteers All were taken to the side
walk by means of ladders.
Mr.. Bardwen and Miss Finerty were
preparing the medicine when the ex-
plosion occurred Mr.. BardweT started
to carry the girl from the room, when
she revived and broke from his grasp.
In her terror she flung herself through
the open window, the glass having
been blown out. Bardwell was helped
down a ladder.
The escape of other tenants and Wis
itors was attended by many thrilling
incidents. A steady stream of men and
women climbed down the fire-escape
in safety before the firemen got to
work T.. w. Hoover, at the risk of
his life, prevented Miss Mary Mcbride
from fiinging herself to death into the
street by crawling along the narrow
coping from the fire. escape at the sixth
floor and holding her until rescued.
FIRE IN AN INSANE ASYLM,
NEWBURGH IN. Y.), Jan. 24.-Fire
started in the kitchen of the Matteawan
State Hospital for the criminal insane
in three or four places this. afternoon.
and it took the combined efforts of the
Matteawan and Fishkil Landing fire
departments two hours to subdue the
flames. It is impossible to estimate
the amount of damage tonight. There
was much excitement among the o4O
inmates when the alarm was given,
but quiet was soon restored. No per-
sons had to leave the building and no
body was injured. 1t is believed the
fire was started by an inmate named
c. S. Mitchell. He has a mania for in
cendiarism and matches were found on
his person.
