THE VALUE OF ROUTINE.

A life of busy routine should, however
labsorbing or constant the activity of it,
lead US better to unders land the value
and tine power of prayer. 1t is the per-
sistent and ccaseQess Titles in human
effort, rather than the great and SNOWY
actions of men. that tend most power
fully to lift our race. Observers of the
heavens inform us that by far the larger
portion of the Illumination of the skies
at night comes from minute points of
light scarcely, if at all, noticed by the or
binary eye. So is the word leavened by
the principles of the gospel, felt through
countless humble believers whose very
presetce in society is often unknown as
agencies of any practical Importance in
benef1ting the human race.
The prayers of the poor and the hum
bic, the meek who inherit the earth, the
energy of those who labor with some
thing akin to regularity in their faithful
ness, those who are quite content 10 Go
so without observation those whose
devotion to the Master enables them to
accept with sincere submission, or an at
tempt at it, the lot which he in his I'M
erring wisdom chooses to give. these make
up the mightiest agencies at work for the
extenss on of that kingdom which Chris
tians believe is yet to fill 1.-The whole
earth. The Evangelist.

The Building of Tadman & Hickman in

The Building of Tadman Is Hickman in
fsetter Shape Than Before the Fire.
The factory of Tadman & Hickman,
glazed kid manufacturers, on Fourth
street between Orange and 1atnall,
which was recently burned, has been
thoroughly repaired and improved by
William II. Foulk Il Son, at quite a
heavy expense, and the firm is better
equipped for business now than ever
before The entire interior has been
thoroughly overhauled and new back
building 30x40 feet, two stories high,
has been added, and the plant now
has capacity Of 1876 dozen skins per
day.
The members of the firm were seen
by reporter of The Gazette on Tues
day afternoon, and both gentlemen ex-
pressed themselves as pleased with their
condition since the repairs and i'm
provements have been completed. In
addition TO the building work, the
entire front has been painted buff color,
with red trimmings, and the change
from the old color is quite an improve
ment The interior, too, has been re-
painted and renovated, so that every
thing about the place, inside and out
side, looks new and clean. A new
engine has been added to the oquip-
ment and the machinery has been put
in first class condition.
The plant occupies ground space OF
73x104 feet, and gives ample room for
the work. Tho main building is five
stories in height. When the reporter
visited the factory it was found running
full and the members of the firm in
formed tine reporter that they were
''sold up, which meant that they
were disposing of their stock aR fast as
it was turned out
Both gentlemen were elated over the
wonderful success of their "Wood-
pecker Tannage" process, which has
found much favor with their customers
BY this process the goat skins are
handled with dispatch and when turned
out are at the top not h of perfection.
This probably accounts for the good
business reported by the firm. They
have trade with foreign markets and
are kent busy supplying the demand
for their superior output

The Circus Theatre Destroyed bv Fire-An
Extremely Horrible Disaster-Almost the
Entire Popuiaoe Attracted to the Scene
by tho Victims shriess.
st. Petersburg, Jan. "a. Tho official
investigation Of the fire which destroyed
the Circus Theatre at Erkaterinoslav,
capital of the South Russian govern
ment of that name, has not established
the real cause of the disaster, which is
believed to have resulted in the loss OF
over 20 lives
The first alarm was given by an ac-
tress, who appeared terror-stricken on
the stage during a children's matinee.
She screamed with fright and threw
the whole audience into panic as
the theatre Immediately began to fill
with smoke and flames. A terrible
rush was made for the doors of the
building, but only two out of eight
exits were open, the others having
been securely closed on account of the
cold weather. The scene in the theatre
was narrowing in the extreme. The
shrieks of those in peril arose above all
other sounds and attracted almost the
entire population of Erkaternoslav to
the spot In the midst of tho confu-
sion the iron roof of the building col
lapsed, killing numbers of persons.
The victims were mainly children and,
in addition TO those burned to death,
suffocated by the smoke or crushed by
the fall Of the roof, many were tram
pied to death in the rush for the exits.
The entire building was burned. Only
the outer walls remain standing. Bodies
are still being recovered from the ruins
and the opinion is expressed that the
first estimate that 40 lives were lost
will be shown to be short of the reality.
Besides those who lost their lives many
children and others were more or less
severely injured in tho rush towards
the doors.
All the performers who were in their
dressing rooms or at the back of the
stage when the fire broke out sue
ceeded in escaping. The actress who
first gave tho alarm is severely blamed
for losing her presence of mind. The
manager of the theatre has been ar
rested and is held prisoner pending
the termination of the official investi-
cation. There are severe penalties for
not having the exits of theatres ready
for use, but in winter time, in most
parts of Russia, the rules bearing upon
this subject are frequently disregarded.
1t is believed that tho disaster al
Erkaterinoslav will lead to general
investigation of the theatre exits and
that precautions will be taken to pre-.
vent the Recurrence of such terrible
loss nf life

The Liebig Manufacturing Co. has
secured restraining order upon the
Board of Health to prevent the board
from interfering with, stopping or de-
laying the work of the company. The
application was made before Cham
cellor Nicholson in chambers at Dover
Menday afternoon, by Lewis G. Van
degrift, representing tho company.
This action by the Chancellor will pre-
won't the Board of Health from proceed
ing further at present against the Lie
big company, whose works arc on the
Christiana river, the board has declared
to be detrimental to public health.
The writ was issued against DR.. John
p. Wales, DIR. Willard Springer, Chief
Engineer James II. Wilson, DR.. j. II.
Frantz, j. II. Lewis and Joseph Jen-
kins. 1t was made returnable on Satur.
day, February Sth, when argument may
bo made before the Chancellor at the
Court House in this city.
The company holds that il work is
stopped large property would be made
useless, stock would be lost and many
operatives thrown out Of employment; /;
that the business is not injurious or
detrimental TO the public health; that
tho Board of Health is mistaken as to
any injury having been caused to health
by any cause or causes arising from the
operation of the factory. The company
asks protection because no opportunity
was given it to be heard at the time
the Board Of Health heard the com
plant. In case the Board of Health
should be allowed to act, the petition
states, the use of the property would
be destroyed without proper compensa-
tion being made and without remedy
by due course of law.
The writ was served upon DIR. Wales,
president Of the Board of Health, on
Monday afternoon. The board will be
represented by City Solicitor Harman
in fighting the restraining ORDER
Tho State Board of Health may sup
port the local board in its contention,
as the people OF New Castle and New
port are disgusted with the condition
Of the Christiana. Tho Nonesuch
creek, tributary Of the Christiana,
supplies water to New Castle, and it is
said to be unfit to drink. At Newport
the garlic coal oil" smell of the
Christiana is complained OF.
In regard to any general contamina-
ton of the Uhristiana ii will probably
be question for proof and argument
whether it may not be contributed to
by other causes than from the Liebig
| factory.
