NEW REPAIR STAND.
Designed for Use of Those who Care for

One of the latest additions to the long
list of bicycle novelties and con-

1t combines the recommendations Of
utility and cheapness, and is designed
for the use of cyclists who care for their
own wheels, as well as for repairers.
The wheel is placed in an inverted posi-
ton on the bench, the saddle being held
in place by cleats, while upright sup
ports at the other end of the bench,
with adjustable pegs, serve to retain
the handle-bars. Under the shelf of the
bench is a drawer for tools or mate

TWO MILLIONS LOSS.
Furious Flames Destroy Big Build
ings In Philadelphia.

Chestnut street. Philadelphia, was visf
tied the other morning by one of the
6erccst fires the city has known for years.
The seven-story building of Charles Ii.
Hascltinc. 1416 and 141S Chestnut street,
and the adjoining five-story structure OF
the Baptist Publication Society and the
American Baptist Historical Society were
destroyed. The buildings damaged by
ire and water and falling walls were the
four-story dry goods house Of Homer,
lie Boutillier X Co., 1412 and 1414, the
dwelling at 1422 owned by the Wistnr es-
tate and the Hotel Lafayette at Broad
and SAMSON streets. On either side or
the main entrance to the Haseltine build
ng were the piano warerooms OF Hallet
4 Davis ut 1416, and Of Stcinway 4 CO..
at 141S. The two Baptist societies lost
arge and valuable collections of paintings,
books and curios. The detailed losses
have not yet been made up, but consery-
ative estimate places the aggregate at
close to $2,OOOOO0. 1t is thought that this
is covered by insurance.
1t was shortly before 3 o'clock, when
Policemen Rice and Howard, while pa
trolling their beats at Broad and Chest
nut streets, detected the smell of smoke.
They ran TO the Lafayette Hotel and went
from floor to floor. looking for the fire.
When they reached the sixth fierce blaze
met their sight. 1t was in the rear Of the
Haseltinc building. which reached dan
gerously near to the back of the hotel
building. An alarm was struck imme-
1iately, blt before the first engines could
reach the scene Il strong west wind had
carried the flames throughout the entire
building.
A dozen lines of hose were turned on
the Chestnut street front, but the light
wood and paper which stocked the second,
third and fourth floors were easy food for
the flames. The upper portion of the
Lafayette Hotel was ignited by sparks
flying from the burning buildings on
Chestnut street. but the blaze was cop-
fined to the upper floors. The fire was
not controlled until long after daybreak.
The Haseltinc building was valued at
$500, 900 and was fully insured. 1t was
erected in 1888, and the first two floors
were 'fraproof." The loss on paintings
on thesecond floor is between $}0O.OO0
and 100000, uninsured. Among those
destroyed were two by G.. III. Selous. val
ued ut 100000 each: one 10y Robert-Fleu-
ry, valued at $4,000.

The belated tariff bill emerged from the
Senate Finance Committee Tuesday and
made its appearance soon after the ses-
sion opened. Chairman Morrill, made the
report, stating that free silver amend
ment had taken the place of the original
bill. Mr.. Quay had remained standing
while Mr.. Morrill, spoke and at once fol-
lowed with it>motisn to recommit the bill
and substitute back to the Finance Com
mittee with instructions to report the orig
inal bill and amendment separately. The
silver substitute to the tariff bill reported
to the Senate was suggested by Senator
Vest and was agreed to in the Finance
Committee by a majority Of 1, Senator
Jones (Nev.) voting with the Democrats
for the substitute and all the Republicans
present voting against 1t. Senator VOL
cott (Colo) was the only Republican alb
sentee and he was recorded as voting
against the substitute. Senator Jones
(Ark.), the only Democratic member not
present, was recorded as voting for it.
The substitute agreed to is in the exact
words of the silver substitute for the bond
bill which passed the Senate on Saturday.
1t provides for the free coinage of silver
ut the ratio of 16 to i directs the imme-
date coinage into standard dollars of the
silver seigniorage in the treasury accumu-
lated by the purchases under the Sherman
act; prohibits the issuance of national
bank notes of a smaller denomination
than $40, and directs the Secretary of the
Treasury to redeem greenbacks and treas
ury notes in either gold or silver exclu-
sively, at the option of the Secretary, and
to reissue greenbacks.

ing that excels it for feed and nothing that
stands the dry, hot winds, and always
keeps growing like it. His experience
shows that the Kafiir corn, in his region,
should be put into the ground as early
as other corn, and the more II is culti-
waited the better; that it can be cut for
feed three times i'm early summer.
While there seems to be good deal to
be said i'm favor of the new corn, there
are, of course, two sides to the question
as applied to a region SO far north as
South Dakota. A resident of Watertown,
who spent fifteen years in South Africa,
the region from which the corn was
brought to this country, saw the corn
grow there time and again, and expressed
the opinion that IL will not prove a suc-
cess In the Dakota climate. He has
never witnessed any experiments with il
here, however, therefore his opinion is
wholly superficial. but adds that he does
know that even in the warm climate of
Africa the corn crop was failure for
three or four seasons.

kAFFlR CORN in SOUTH DAKOTA
Interesting Results of Experiments

Interesting Results of Experiments
Made by Farmers Inst Year.
A detailed description of the new IA
nous Kaffir corn in an article from Guth-
rie, Ok, and first printed n few weeks
ago in the columns of the 0be-Demo-
crat, has been widely copied by the news
papers of the Northwest and has aroused
much discussion among the farmers of
South Dakota as to the adaptability OF
Kaffir corn to that climate. Last year
and prior few farmers in the State pro-
cured small quantities of this seed and ex-
perimented with il, and the results of
these experiments are interesting. Il. Il.
Strong, farmer and ranchman on White
River. in the ceded Sioux lands, had
field of corn which yielded fully up to
expectations. He declares that il is the
very best kind Of feed for any kind of
stock. l.. j. Germ, IL Chamberlain busi-
ness man. experjmented last season with
n small field of ordinary Indian corn and
Kaffr corn. The ordinary corn was irri-
gated several times. while the Kafiir corn
received only the natural rainfall, which
was much below normal. STILL the Kaffir
corn grew as fast as the other, was green
and healthy looking during the very driest
periods of the summer proving, in this
instance, ut least. that il can withstand
drought to the degree claimed for it. In
referring to newspaper statement warn
ing farmers to go slow in going into the
culture of Kaffir corn, Il. ID. Hyer, a prom
inent farmer of Hanson County, says
that three years ago he risked dime for
seed. This year he has ten bushels of
seed and next spring will put in all he can
cultivate. He declares that he finds moth
