WHAT'S IN THE BLOOD

Though it has long been assumed
that great families remain great in the
eyes of the world, through the potent
influence of a certain unknown some
thing" in the blood inherited, Professor
Victor Horsley, the famous English
medical expert, now tells us that the
time-worn theory is an empty assump-
ton, unworthy of scientific considera-
tion. Although l do not wish to be-
little the theory of hereditary infiu-
ence," says Professor Horsley, writing

IN REGARD TO SERVICE PIPES.
To the Editor Of the Evening Journal.
Sir: At meeting of prominent prop
erty owners last evening it was decided
to petition the Water Commissioners
not to change their resolution in regard
to service pipes. The owners of prop
erty in this city are having a hard
time TO meet the expenses attached to
property, and would certainly appre-
ciate any item of expense that might be
avoided Nearly every year there has
been some Improvement made by the
commissioners, which expense has
been drain on the owners of prop
erty, but they have no redress. The
commissioners would undoubtedly be
helping many a property holder by
carrying their resolution as adopted.

In Doubt.

A certain minister, who is not always
so careful as he ought to be in making
his teaching and bis practice correspond,
was lately telling some friends a story
Of adventure. It was a pretty tall"
story, and the minister's l0-year-old lit
tie girl was observed to be listening to
it very intently. When he finished, she
fastened her wide open eyes upon heI
fathers face and said very gravely, "Is
that trne, or are you preaching now,
papa?" Household Words.

We do not see what Representative
Donaldson gained by changing his vote
on the bill in relation to the collection
of taxes in New Castle county. If we
mistake not, the very fact that he is a
member of the General Assembly bars
him from holding any office created
during the present session. Not only
that, but it was in bad taste for him to
even privately state that he expected
to become a poll tax collector under
tho act, for it gave the impression that
slate had already been made up in
anticipation of the passage of the bill

at ~ Madison street, the first floor and
basement OF which We're occupied by the
Tosetil cafe and restaurant company,

insignificant at first and a crowd OF
people gathered on the sidewalk in
froat OF the building TO watch the work
of the firemen About dozen policemen
were busity engaged in pushing back
the thcong, when terrific explosion OF
natural gas took place. The building
was badly wrecked, the windows, win
dow gratlngs, sidewalk lights and man
hole covers were hurled in the air aud
fell among the crowd. Dozens OF people
were thrown from their feet and twen-
ty-three were injured, only one of them.
Captain Thomas O'Connor, being, how
ever, seriously hurt,
The explosion caused n Wild panic IN
the street and In the frantic rush for
safety that followed many people were
thrown down and trampled upon. That
many were not killed and many more
injured was little short of a miracle.
The fire spread through the building
with great rapidly after the explosion,
and within ten minutes 1t was blazing
fiercely. Call after call for additional
engines was sent In by Chief Swenie,
but the fire could only be reached In
front and rear and was difficult OF ac-
cess. The severe weather caused mitch
of the water to freeze and within an
hour the building resembled an iceberg
with n furnace In It's interior. The
burning building Is within fifty feet OF
the intersection Of Dearborn and Madi-
son streets, where the loops OF the West
Side and North Side cable lines Inter

out until after midnight, traffic was en-
