A man who is not very smart can
give good advice.
When a man gets down he is nearly
as hard to get on his feet again as
horse with a broken leg.
If you aim to be a thoroughbred,
don't abuse your enemies; speak highly
Of their rivals and competitors.

When a man grows humble and adj
mits that he has a weakness, he al
ways spoils the effect by adding, But
none of US are perfect"
If a woman sees a, story in a news
paper with a picture of a woman clasp

it if the dinner burns.
Some men enjoy neanness as much

PANIC IN A BIG HOTEL
FIRE IN THE SHERMAN HOUSE, CHI
CAGO, EARLY THIS MORNING.
All the Guests and Servants Safe, Some
the Smoke by Firemen.

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-At 1870 o'clock this
morning a fire broke out in the Sherman
House, one of the largest hotels in the city,
and although all of the guests and the
servants escaped without loss of life there
was for time the liveliest kind of panic
among them. The fire originated in the
kitchen from a gas stove and spread with
great rapidity. The hotel was being re-
modelled, the entire structure being support
ed by jack screws. This open space gave
the fire quite chance and the strong breeze
that was blowing from the west famed the
fire fiercely. In few minutes the entire
building was filled with a dense
cloud of smoke and the attaches
of the hotel Office were hurrying
through the halls calling on the guests to
prepare to leave. Many of the guests
needed no warning and were in the halls
half dressed and more than ready to make
their escape to the open air as soon as
they saw a chance to do so. There was a
wild rush for the street, and in a few min
utes all of them, in all conditions of I'M
dress, were in the street or safely on their
way to it, Among those who were first iii
reaching the street were j. r. French, of
Pittsburg; DR.. William Walcott and H. E.
McCapron, of Wausau, Wis; Rev. ". r.
McGill, of Milwaukee; T. T. Emerson, of
Omaha; L. j. Staugh of San Diego, Cal;
James L. Ward stage manager for Madame
Modjeska; George and N. McMuhen, of De-
troit.
The servants were located in the seventh
story of the hotel and for a time it looked
as though some of them would not be able
to reach the street in safety, owing to the
dense cloude of smoke that filled the build
ing. The firemen were compelled to carry
several of the servant girls down two flights
of stairs until they could secure a passage
way to the street that was comparatively
free from smoke, and from this point all of
them managed to make their escape from
the building without accident.
Within ten minutes after the discovery
of the fire all of the guests and servants
had been taken from the building and the
aremen were free to devote themselves to
the fire alone.
The hotel is situated on the northwest
corner of Randolph and Clark streets and
occupies half square. 1t is close to Hoo
Theater and the Ashland Block, one of the
largest buildings in the city, are directly
across Clark street. The situation of the
hotel made it important that the fire should
be SubdUed with the least possible delay,
and the firemen made desperate efforts to
hold it within the rear portion of the Sher-
man House. where it had originated. They
were entirely successful in this, and al
though for a time the fire looked to be
dangerous, they soon had 1t under control.
The damage to the building will not be over

NOVEL DEFENSE SET UP.
SingIe-Tax Theory to Have an Inning
in ST. Louis Court.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 12.-Attoney John j.
Mccain to-day filed in Judge Talty's court
an answer to the suit brought by the city
against William H. Appleman, McCann' s
client, for personal taxes for the years 1894
and 1895. The defense set up by Mccain is
virtually the single tax theory, and this is
the first time 1t has ever been pleaded in
this country in such case. 1t is called
the bill of rights defense, and is based
on the bill of rights clause of the Missouri
Constitution. A number of suits for per-
sonal taxes are pending and Mr.. Mccain
proposes to resist payment of them all on
this ground. The attorney argues
that personal property, being the gain of
personal industry, should not be subject to
interference by a tax. Its owner is entitled
to enjoy il, free from all restrictions as to
use or jurisdiction by the State, but it can
not be held invioate if its possessor must
pay duty on it. 1t is further argued that
the only proper and just method OF taxa
ton is land assessment and taxes and rev.
enues from public franchises. The defense
is unique and the decision is anXiously
awaited by freeholders and lawyers.

the Republican vote had been cast at that

precinct that the Democratic organization
was remarkably active and successful in
getting out its vote. The reports taken at
noon and at o clock were not much more
encouraging, though the Fifth had begun to
come around in better shape.
There were constant calls at the commit

the diScOur2ging nature of the reports, the
Republican managers were cheerful and
acted quickly upon all the indications shown
by the reports, sending men to various pre-
cincts to urge the precinct organization to
greater efforts to get out the vote and hus-
Ting wagons to whatever precincts called
for them.
Later in the afternoon these exertions be-
gan to tell and the reports brought at 4
o'clock were much more favorable partic

began to come out more rapidly. The pre-
cinct organizations redOubled their efforts

publican vote and the percentage of outs
was greatly decreased. Yet it was so great
that it was evident that thousands OF Re-
publican voters had not gone to the polls.
In the South Side wards about 8 o'clock the
Democrats began their usual tactics of
crowding the polling places and keeping out
as many Republican votes rs possible and
in many precincts these tactics were sue

publican managers were feeling blue and
