General Bishop.

Attorney General Bishop, in an opin-
ion to the state board of examiners,
yesterday decided that court stenog-
raphers are entitled to only Sc per day

three months of 1896. The reason is
that .the new law did not, take effect
until April l last The attorney general
says. in part, with reference to claims
of this character for services rendered
during the period stated:
II fail to find any provision for the
payment of mileage to reporters. 1
would therefore advise you that the
claimant is entitled to only Sc per day
for reporting the cases set out in his
claim, in place of IS, and that he is
not entitled to mileage. His claim for
transcript of evidence does not show
upon what basis it was computed I'm

A TRIBUTE TO GEORGE
Was One of the Greatest Men
of All Time.
A PEAK OF MORAL FORCE
William Lloyd Garrison Eulopizes the
Late Economist Before the Phila-
delphia Ethical society-He
Started d Revolution.

Philadelphia, Dec. 19-William Lloyd
Garrison, the well-known Boston re-
former, addressed the Ethical society
to-day on the life. character and work
of Henry George, whom he character
lied as one of the greatest men of all
time. He said in part:
Never did knight of old fight more
valiantly to win back the Holy Land
from the Saracen than did Henry
George to win hi notrucsy mpdispoHiti
George to win his country from pauper-
ism. Long after we are gone men will
contemplate from varying points of
view this Alpine peak of moral force
me sunset of the nineteenth century
Will presage with added glory the COM
ing OF the twentieth. because he lived,
thought and wrote"
The speaker briefly rehearsed the
main facts of Henry Georges earlier
life and said that it was while he was
in California. in its turbulent and prim-
tive period, that his great work,
Progress and Poverty" grew upon
his hands and eventually came forth
like revolution.
Mr.. Garrison referred to Herbert
Spencer's rebuff of George. whom he
should have welcomed as the brightest
jewel in his diadem." and continuing,
said.
when it became manifest that
Progress and Poverty was the bugle
blast of one deeply in earnest, the bat
tie ragged. Georges demand that the
immediate restoration of land to those
who were starving because of it's mis-
appropriation was a heresy not to be
tolerated. For vested rights and privi-
leges were endangered by such teach
lngs. Land owners were stirred to their
moral depths and cried out 'robber.'
The whole scheme of taking land
values only was decreed to be scheme
of spolation. Progress and Poverty
was constantly refuted. but it constant
ly refused to say so. Its vitality is re-
markable and ii will not down"
Concluding, he said: His participa-
ton in the New York municipal cam
paign was not prudential step; neith-
er was the raid of John Brown on Har-
per's Ferry, but in the good times COM

THEY BARELY ESCAPED
Close CaIl for Family in a
Burning Building.
WAS COMPLETELY GUTTED
Disastrous Fire in q Five Story Building
in st. Louis Large Losses by
Over Forty Tenants-were
Fully Insured

st. Louis, Dec. ia fire started in
the basement of the building occupied
by the Mermod & Jaccard Jewelry COM
pany at the corner of Locust and
Broadway early this morning, and in an
almost incredible time the five-story
building was completely Quilted. The
total loss will reach $685., 900, fully COW
cred by insurance.
The fire had been burning some time
before it was discovered at lao O'clock,
and at p. m. the south wall and all
the floors began falling, making one of
the fiercest and quickest fires in the an
mails of the city. Next to the boiler
room in the basement was a room used
for packing. 1t is thought that the fire
started in the boiler room, communicat-
ing TO the packing room and shooting
up the elevator shaft quickly spread
over the building. w. A. Rutledge, the
engineer, and his family. lived on the
fourth floor. They barely escaped. with
their lives. The firefnen dragged them
unconscious from their beds and car
ried them down the fire escape. Five
minutes later the floors fell. Several
other tenants in the building had mar
row escapes, but there were no fatali-
ties.
The Mermod & Jaecard Jewelry COM
pany is one of the largest in the world,
and being Christmas season, carried an
immense stock. One-half of the stock
had been placed in the large vaults and
was saved, but the rest. as well as the
building and its fixtures, was totally de-
stroyed.
The Model Cloak company, in the
northeast corner of the building, was
wiped out, sustaining a loss of $4,000.
on which there is an insurance of three
fourths.
The Mermod g. Jaccard company oc-
cupied but two floors and basement of
the structure. On the fifth floor was
the repair shop. A large amount of the
repair work had been finished, and
most of it was saved by the salvage
corps. The corps also saved a dozen
or more grandfather clocks. ranging in
value from $500 to $500 each, and
many old Vienna cases and valuable
pieces of pottery. The silverware,
melted by the heat, will be found under
the debris of fallen timber. on the first
floor. left out of the vaults. were clocks,
Silverware. china, art pottery, cut glass
ware, and other articles, all of which
will be total loss. There were over 40
tenants in the building. whose losses
range from $500 to $4,000, partially in
sured.
The firm carried insurance amount
ing to 100000 which. If the stock in the
vaults is found intact. will amply cover
the loss sustained.
The building was owned by the es-
tate of the late Luther NJ. Kennett. but
under lease to the Mermod x Jaccard
company. The firm estimates the value
of the building at si25000. upon which
there was an insurance of $105, 900
Late tonight the burned-out firm de-
cided to continue in business and to-
morrow will take possession of the store
and stock of another leading jeweler of
this city, which they have bought. The
firm that goes out of business is that
of A. kurtZborn & Sons.

AFTER A PARDON.
Dalton, the Notorious Highwayman, Is
About to Ask for His reedom.
His Audacious Letter.


Kansas City. Mo-, Dec. 19.-Emmett
Dalton, who was captured during the
attempt at wholesale bank robbery in
Coffeyville, Kan, five years ago, and
sentenced to Imprisonment for life, is
about to apply for pardon. Judge j.
d. McCue of this city, who was for five
years judge of the district court of
Montgomery county, Kansas, and who
passed sentence upon Emmett Dalton,
has received the following letter:
When the proper time comes / shall,
as a matter of course, make application
for executive clemency and would value
a letter of recommendation from you
very highly. as 1 think it would have
great weight on my case. / shall put
forth my best endeavors to merit any
favor which may be shown in the way
of procuring for men another chance
to see something of this life, and give me
hope for the future
You may be somewhat surprised at
my making this request at this time,
but. knowing the uncertainty of life, /
feel thaf fhrough some mishap / might
not be able to reach you at later day.
AS You are thoroughly familiar with
the facts and circumstances connected
with the case. | feel that Ii would be
a useless waste of time as well as an
imposition on your patience to state the
case to you now. | believe you can and
Will help me-, without in any way in
juring or compromising yourself.
''Will you kindly write and forward
to me such a letter of recommendation.
addressed to the governor and board of
pardons as will do me for future use?"
When Judge McCue was asked If he
would grant the request of the outlaw,
he replied: Il certainly could not con-
sistently recommend executive clemen-
cy now. What action / might take
some years later l cannot now say.
There is no question in my mind but
that Dalton should be severely pun
ished."
In the Dalton raid. four of the des-
peradoes and four citizens were killed
and a number injured. Emmett Dali
ton was severely wounded and cap
tured while attempting to assist his
brother Bob, who was fatally wounded,
to escape.
