LIVES in PERIL.
Christmas Trea Causes n Dangerous Blaze
In Apartment House.

In an Apartment House.
New York. Dec 27.-The lives of Ere
men as we'll as some of the inmates of the
burning apartment house, BAL East
Forty-first street, were imperilled at a
fire today. Two were hurt but not d. =
gemusly. Fireman William Cullen W {
caught between the burning building a
the one next door and overcome ~
smoke. He was rescued by Fire Chief
Welsh and Fireman Connolly.
The janitress of the building. Mr.
John Tisdale. rescued one of her Ch l.
dren and had returned for her other
child when she lost her way in the smoke
filled halls. Alfred Varney, who lived
on the first floor, heard her cries fer help
and succeeded in effecting her rescue,
but he himself was severely burned.
Nevertheless he returned again to seek
the woman child, who he subsequently
learned had bee rescued.
Two women. one with baby In her
arms, JUMPED from a window and Ia nd
ed safely. a policeman rescued another
woman. The damage by fire WAS only
$500s. 1t appears that a Christmas tree
in the apartments of the janitress
caused the fire.

Oestitution prevails in Cuba to an
alarming extent and starvation is not
only impending but is an actual fact.
The information of our government from
most reliable sources is to this effect.
The president has called attention to the
situation inviting contributions to mti-
gate the conditions as far as possible.
Contributions of money have already
been received and RENTED by telegraph
to Consul General Lee at Havana.
Measures are also taken to have sup
plies other than money contributed to
aid the sufferers. Gen. Lee has cabled
that summer clothing, principally for
women and children, medicines for
fevers, various kinds of food, including
condensed milk for the starving child
rem are needed. The State department
advises that the money aud supplies he
sent direct to Gen. Lee at Havana. This
call will doubtless meet with ready re-
spouse of the people OF our country.

Apropos to profits in farming a
gentleman of our town who is interested
in agriculture and otler lines of business
gave an instance of aman in Scion, well
advanced in years. who has always
stuck to farming as business. He be-
ing well along in year hires a man to
work for him the year -ound. He keeps
II cows and his profit ONES from their
product. Unlike many more pretentious
farmers, he makes it a ,oint to raise the
feed for his cows and MT buy because it
is cheap. He bought thing last year
but ton of cotton seed neal. The net
result OF the work of imself and his
good wife for the year ws $500 in the
savings bank. This of cotrse was not a
large sum but much bitter than the
average of men who conduct much
larger operations in other ines of bust
ness. This illustrates What TIE RE-
PORTER has repeatedly SAT- that farmers

their farms and not buy grin raised in
