Restore the Zero Freezing Point.

In the haste in which the democrats
at Chicago prepared their platform
they forgot to include the plank de-
claring in favor of restoring the nat
ural freezing point of zero. Mankind
has suffered and shivered tremendously
because of, this inhuman standard of
temperature, adopted undoubtedly at
the instigation of coal barons and quack
doctors. Without waiting for the aid
or consent of any other nation, let us
proceed to lower the freezing point and
to reform our climate in the interests of
the masses.

VenezueIa's Odd Hallway.

This is scene on one of the
most remarkable railroads in the
world. 1t is the railroad between
Caracas, the capital of Venezuela,
and its port, La Guayra. AS the
bird flies the two towns are only
six miles apart, but the railroad
that joins them is nearly twenty
four miles long. Caracas is in a
deep valley, but it is two-thirds OF
mile higher than La Guayra,
and the mountains between them
are nearly 5000 feet high.
So the railroad train, that never
exceeds five or six small and very
light cars, winds along the preci-
pitous TANKS of the mountains,
puffs up one side of the valley
and down the other, darts through
short tunnels, and keeps up It's
very sinuous way until finally the
glorious valley of the capital city
bursts into view. Then steam is
shut off, and the brakes are ap-
piled, and slowly the train slips
down the inward face of the noun
tains to its station in the city.
The most charming and exhilar-
ating views are revealed at every
stage of the journey; but this
short trip is not one of the safest
in the world. We have not heard
that nature has ever bombarded a
train with rocks from above, but,
says the New York Sun, this is a
contingency that might happen.
Sometimes during violent storms
rocks are detached from the mass
that towers above the roadbed and
go humping down upon the track.
During the rainy season traffic
has sometimes been interrupted
for more than week at time by
the damage done in this way to
the track. 1t is great problem
how to obviate this source of
danger, and no solution has yet
been found.
IL England were to make war
on Venezuela a few hundred ma
tives with crowbars for loosening
rocks, perched high above the
track, could make it very tough
travelling for the enemy to reach
the capital by the railroad.
This great work of railroad
engineering does honor to the
energy and initiative talent of
ex-President Guzman Blanco, who
conceived the project and carried
1t through to success. The rail-
road was completed in 1888.

WAS ONLY HALF HANGED.
An English woman who was Gal
lows Freak.

A curious instance Of the hang
mans rope failing to perform its
fatal work gave to Margaret Dick
son, an English woman, the nick
name of "Half Hanged Maggie"
name by which she was known
throughout the British isles. Mag
gle had been convicted of some
capital offense, and was finally
taken to the gallows on the hill at
Edinburgh. After the drop fell
she was allowed to hang for sew
eral hours before friends claimed
the remains and started with them
in cart for Musselburg, six miles
away.
On the way some drunken ap-
prentices rudely halted the cart
and opened the coffin, in order to
see the woman who had been
hanged. This let in fresh air,
and the air and jolting Of the cart
combined to revive the supposed
| dead woman long before the home
of the relatives was reached.
Arriving there she was carried in
to the house alive but very faint
and barely conscious.
A minister was called to pray
for her, but she soon recovered
sufficiently to demand that the
preacher be dispatched for
doctor who could administer re-
lief that would be of far greater
value to her at that moment than
any minister's importunings. The
physician soon arrived and Mag
gle quickly recovered, but was
never again tried or even arrested
for her crime. Later on she
married and became the mother
of several children st. Louis

"Put We OF AZ Buffalo"

The title of this wellknown
song as well as the song itself
emanated from the brain OF an
employee of the Buffalo Brewing
Company. That enterprising firm,
believing that a man who could
compose so catchy an air must
have a large and we'll balanced
brain, str&ightway raised his sala-
ry. This has proven to be good
move on their part as is testified
by the excellent qualities of their
beer, which is dispensed over the
bars of the Cosmopolitan, Pacific
and Royal saloons at the rate
of two glasses for 25c.; half
and half is also served at the
same price. 1t is always
fresh aud cold and life sustaining.
Or you can get one glass of Buff
falo and one of Pabst beer, the
fine product of the Milwaukee
brewery. Exchangeable checks

FIVE PERISH IN A FIRE.


New York. Dec. 20.--A family of FIVE
persons were burned to death In their
home at 5ll East Fifty-eighth street to-
night The dead are:
Aaron Goldsmith, 40 years old
Mrs. Katilda Goldsmith, 3S years old.
Bertha Goldsmith, 10 years old.
Hattie Goldsmith, years old.
Frank Goldsmith, years old.
The only other person In the house at
the time of the fire, besides those burned
to death, was Mary Roska, 20 years old,
the servant of the family. She escaped
by jumping out of a second floor window
to the rear yard and running through the
basement hall to the street in front Of
the house.
The building was three-story and
basement structure of brown stone. Aaron
Goldsmith was a member of the firm Of
Hartman & Goldsmith, wholesale liquor
dealers, of 45 Warren street.
In the front parlor was an immense piano
lamp. This lamp undoubtedly exploded,
throwing the oil about and spreading the
fire in every direction. The flames spread
to the two upper floors quickly, From
the locations of the bodies when found,
Mr.. and Mrs. Goldsmith, with their 6-year-
old son, must have been in the parlor,
while the two little girls had just been
prepared for bed by the servant on the
second floor.

MIssouRrs PRISON FIRE.
The Blaze Started by Convict in a
Plot with 33 Others.

@Oe WIN oo OthCESs
Jefferson City. Mo-, Dec. 2O.-The source
of last nights fire in the state prison has
been traced to a gang of 80 convicts, some
one of whom fired bundle Of refuse under
a stairway in the clothing department.
The fire smouldered until nearly mid
night when it burst into blaze The incen-
diary act was no doubt done in hope to
escape in the excitement. Notwithstand-
ing the great excitement, Warden Pace
and the gaurds at no time lost control of
the prisoners.
The clothing department is located in cell
building No. 1 and while the guards were
transferring the convicts from this build
ing into cell building No. 8. two convicts
attempted to escape, but both were cap
tured before they got away from the build
ing.
Great bravery was shown by the con-
VictS who were released from their cells
to help extinguish the fire. A convict
from st. Louis, who at one time belonged
to the fire department of that city, acted
as captain to the state fire department,
and was practically chief, for he gave
commands, and the other leaders seeing
his ability, gave way to him.
The Star Clothing Company which is also
situated In the same building as the state
department. was at one time in great dam
ger of having its entire stock of clothing
destroyed. The goods that were cut Sat
urday were destroyed by fire, and the re-
mainder by smoke and water. The sac-
tory is in such condition that the COM
pany will not be able to resume work for
about two weeks.
The loss to the state is about $1,000 and
to the Star Clothing Company about
$l,000

Five Large Business Blocks RRvaged
by the Flames.

Worcester, Mass, Dec. 20-0ire at
Bridge early this morning, destroyed four
large business blocks and gutted another,
and had an eye on the largest block in
town, the Methodist church and the Hotel
windsor The loss is about $4,000, and the
insurance will not exceed 100000.
The buildings destroyed arc the Taft
block, owned by A. r. Taft; Gum block;
the old Gredig block and the new Gredig
block, owned by Christian Gredig. The
Goldthwait block was partly destroyed
The water tank of the New York. New
Haven and Hartford railroad was also
burned.
The fire started in the basement of the
Gum block probably from an overheated
furnace The water tank was almost Inn
mediately IN flames and this cut off about
the only water supply the firemen had.
c. G. Capron, fire warden, sent to Wor-
cester at 1:40 a. m. for help, but It was
$3.50 before a special train with ilremen
and apparatus got there. BY that time
two blocks were gone and a third DOOM
ed. But for the aid rendered by the Wor-
cester fire department, the fire would have
destroyed the entire business portion Of
the place.
The Forresters, Knights of the Golden
Eagle, United Order Of Workmen. Odd
Fellows, Sons of Veterans and the Grange
are all losers.
