Chicago, Jan. 25.-The four story
residence of Charles ]. Barnes, 223S
Calumet avenue, was destroyed by

With the mercury 10 degrees below

attire to save their lives. Mr.. Barnes
is the western manager of the Ameri-
can Book company. For years he
had been collecting rare and valuable
books and his library is said to have
been one of the finest in the United
States. This was entirely destroyed
and with the damage to the building
and furnishings will make the loss

On account of the bitter cold and a
high wind the tiremen worked under
a great disadvantage. At 3 o'clock

phoid fever, was carried from his bed

become crossed. Losses fully cover.

Geology.

The scientific beginnings OF geology
are said to have. been treated OF in
Chinese works long before the Chris
tan era. Some degree of geological in
formation is displayed in the book OF
Job, several passages Of which have
been held TO indicate an exact knowl-
edge OF the different strata of the earth.
The science is treated Of by Aristotle,
Pliny, and Theophrastus. Geology did
not become what may be called an exact
science until the present century.

The greatest enemy of the wheelman
is the thief. No bicycle is safe in a
large city if left for moment I'M
guarded. The devices to defeat the
thief have been many, but the majority
of them have been Intellectual. One
genius thought he had solved the prob
lem by inventing an alarm that would
sound whenever the front wheel was
turned. But this device was easily cir
cumvented by the thief carrying the
wheel bodily, or, on the other hand,
what show has the runner on foot to
overtake the scorching thief, even
though the alarm rings out wildly.
The companies that were so numer-
ously organized several years ago to in
sure bicycles against theft are now but
few in number. They are able to cope
with individual thefts, but there is now
evidence of a widespread organization
for this especial form of larceny.
Cycles are stolen right and left and
then shipped in large numbers to dis
tant cities, where skilled workmen re-
move the name plates, repaint or re-
enamel the frames, thus destroying all
marks by which they may be identified.
These wheels are then openly sold. A

Mrs. Davis and Miss Winnie because of their residence in the north and infrequent visits to the south. The occasion for our contemporary's iron ical outburst upon this subject was the announcement that Mrs. Davis and daughter would soon visit the Nashville exposition announce mlent~ that the Age-Herald throws >d upan by suggesting that Mrs. !5Id Miss Davis find it convenient to accept very few such invi- tAtions from the south. Mrs. and Miss Davis have never intended to make their homes in the north. Business affairs carried them there in the first place. and business inter- ests have kept them there ever since. Both of them have been adding to their incomes by literary work. and this work they think they can do there more advantageously than in the south. -
 A further discussion Of the matter would require us to go into details of the family's finances which should be sacred to the members thereof, and into which the public has no right to inquire. Suffice it to say that mon etary reasons, together with consider ations as to Mrs. Davis's health, have thus far kept the mother and daugh- ter in the north. We risk little in declaring our belief that if Mrs. Davis were a woman of sufficient fortune she would establish her residence in some southern city and keep her doors open to all who served in the Confederate army and to all others who respect the memory of her hus- band. A brave soul was he, but not braver or more se1f-sacriicing or more devoted to the south than she who is just at this time the subject
 of so much comment because of the Birmingham publication. Some of these comments show malice; many others show ignorance of the facts of the case. But Mrs. Davis must bear them all in silence or else rush into print to make an exhibit of her income and expenses and to discuss her household affairs generally. That sbe has been forced into this position is most lamentable, and that the ar ticle in question should have been penned by southern lady and pub lished in southern paper eXcites special wonder and great grief. As to Mrs. Davis's infrequent visits to the south, we have to say that sine is no longer a young woman, nor has she been very strong of late. and the fatigue of travel, therefore, taxes her very heavily.
 The Dispatch's defence may be talk en to represent southern sentiment on the subject.

DINGLEY REPLIES
To the Speech of Mr.. Cleveland In New
York on Saturday Night

NEW YORK. April 2s.-In an interview
yesterday, Congressman Dingley. chair
man of the Committee on Ways ard
Means. I'm reply 10 ex-President Cleve-
lands criticism at the Reform Club din
ner Saturday night. that the Republican
party won the late election on its decla-
ration in favor Of a sound currency ana
not on the tariff issue, said:
THE fact Is that the Republican party
won on both issues, and the tariff issue in
those parts Of the country which
practically decided the contest had more
TO do with the victory than any other
issue.
Nothing could be clearer than that the
pledges OF the party made II It's first duty
10 provide sufficient revenue to carry on
the government without borrowing in
time OF peace. and in the adjustment OF
duties on imports to that end to encour-
age industries OF the United states strick-
EN- by unfair competition.
IF the Republican party should fail
al the beginning of its lease of power TO
do these things II could be justly held TO
have proved faithless to its pledges.
"As to the responsibility which rests
upon the party to preserve a sound cur
rency, rest assured that there will be no
failure Indeed. the triumph of the party
i'm November last was an assurance which
has been accepted by the commercial
world that a sound currency would be
preserved.
There IS undoubtedly need at the ear
liest possible date of some legislation TO
improve our currency system. but no one
knows better than the gentlemen who
are criticising the Republican party that
IL such legislation should be taken up
to-day. i'm the present condition OF the
Senate, no favorable results could be OBJ
tained, and the agitation which would
arise from long and fruitless debate in
the Senate would exert an Injurious influ-
ence on the business OF the country. and
would endanger the success Of legisla-
ton TO provide revenue to carry on the
government"
