Five Children Burned to Death in
Iowa.
PARENTS WERE NEGLIGENT
LOCKED UP THE HOUSE AND
WENT TO CHURCH.
Called From Religious Observance,
Only TO Find Their House Ablaze
and Their Offspring Slowly Burn
ing to Death-Only a Few Bones
Left of Some of Them.

Ottumwa, Iowa. March 24.-Five chill
dren of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Penrod, at
Laddsdale, little mining town on the
Wapello and Davis county line, were
burned to death last night. Three were
cremated and two died a few hours later.
They are:
Harry Penrod, aged 10 years.
John Penrod. aged years.
Minerva Penrod, aged years.
Ross Penrod, aged years.
Blaine Penrod, aged 3 years.
The parents of the children took the
oldest child of the family. son aged r.
and baby in arms of its mother and
went to a religious meeting, having first
put the other children to bed.
The schoolhouse where ---e services
were held was only a hundred feet away
from the Penrod house
About o'clock an alarm of fire was
given and Penrod. with the other occu-
pants of the schoolhouse, rushed out to
find his house in flames.
1t was impossible to enter the building,
as it was crumbling when Penrod
reached it. The children's bed was by
the window, however, and Penrod burst
the window open and succeeded in pull
ing the s and 4-year-old boys out, horri-
bly, burning himself in the act. The two
never regained consciousness, however
and died in short time.
The others were burned until only a
few bones were found in the debris of the
house. The coroners inquest threw no
light on the origin of the fire.

No Ginger in It.

London March PA high government
official expressed to a representative of
the United Associated Presses today the
opinion that the United States senate had
tai-en ali the meaning out of the arbi-
tration treaty and asserted his belief that
the British government would be extreme
ly unlikely to accept il.
I'VE have done without an arbitration
treaty heretofore. he added. "and it will
not make much difference If we continue
20 90 so for the present"
1T is learned at the foreign office that
diplomatic relations between Great Brit
ain and Venezuela have not yet been re-
sumeG. and that the question of their re-
sumption IS not likely to be discussed
until the Venezuelan arbitration tribunal
has finished its work.
DR.. Juan Pietrie, the present Venezuelan
minister TO Germany and Spain, the for
eign officials say, has not been credited to
Great Britain, as has been asserted.
The Westminster Gazette thinks the
senate's action a very disappointing and
disconce-tinS result of all the efforts of
Secretary Olney and Lord Salisbury The
anti-English feeling underlying the action
OF the senate, the paper adds. is the most
unpleasant aspect of the matter.
The Pail Mall Gazette says that merely
TO please sensational iingoism and self
Importance. a promising plan has been
wrecked. In concluding the Gazette says:

orally Will be more thorouhgly ashamed
Of their senate than they ordinarily are

To the Moderate Drinker.

National Adv Jcate: Presuming that
you believe you are not destitute of
some influence in the world, we would
urge upon you brief appeal. 1t may
be you regard yourself in no danger
from the power of an appetite which
has vanquished thousands before yOus
Perhaps you have thus far passed I'M
harmed by that foe which has blasted
the hopes and happiness of so many
of your fellows But you have never
thought that watchful eyes are fixed
upon your example? Perhaps you are
a young man. Are there none among
your acquaintance in whom your ex-
ample is subverting moral principles,
and leading the way TO the drunkards
grave? Perhaps you are a father Is
the eye of your little one cast toward
you as you quaff your daily or occa-
sional dinner glass? And are you
aware that for that child you may
be laying a foundation for a miserable
life and death? Do you love your
family? Is your love evinced by in
Producing a principle which may re-
suit in temporal infamy and final ruin
to the members of that family2 May
you not live to see your. folly perpe-
tuated in those who bear your image,
and see it, too, rioting in their destruc-
ton? If you SOW 70 the wind can
you complain if YOU reap the whirl-
wind ?''

We Must Live.

There was an old lady" says Sir
Wilfrid Lawson, whom I knew in
London, a couple of years ago, who
was a guardian of one of the large
unions in the west of London. There
came a man on the licensing day to
have his public house license renewed
and this good lady came and said:
Don't renew the license, your wor-
ships. The old women from the
workhouse where I am guardian go
over there and get drunk, and it
causes a great deal OF evil and the
chairman said: We'll, what have we
to do with that? Do a great many
co.? Oh, yes the lady said, a great
many What does it matter to us,
he said, if hundreds GO? The man
who comes for the license must live >"
Now we have the whole thing in
nutshell, saws the National Advocate.
Men engaged in the liquor business
say, I'VE must live To all such
we might reply as DR.. Johnson did
TO the beggar, who urged the same
plea. I'VE must live" I'VE see no
necessity at ALI for that Certainly
the community would lose by the
death of some people, but when did it
ever go into mourning for the death

What You Drink.

According to the New York Tribune,
which. as it is not now edited by Horace
Greeley, cannot be accused of temper
ance fanaticism, the beer drinker i'm
bibes a strong mixture. That paper
says:
According to competent testimony,
the American brewer puts into his
product salicylic, boracic, and benzoic,
busulphite of rodium, sulphite of mag
nesium, burned sugar. tannic acid,
glucose, bitter extracts, quassia, Chi
cory, cOIchium, licorice, vermouth and,
aloes, with other ingredients of likk
sort. making, in many cases, a sort of
broth more pernicious than any of the
cQncoctions of SycOrax or Hecate. He
does not keep it six months, but ar
rests its fermentation artiicialiy, and
puts it in the market in small fric-
ton of that time. 1t is not surprising
that those who drink the stuff should
turn into anarchists sooner or later"

Responded to Protests.

Washington. March 24.-In response TO
strong protests from educational centers
the Republican, members of the commit
tee on ways and means, at its meeting to-
day. changed the paragraph in the new
tariff bill relating to books and scientific
instruments so as to permit books, scien-
tifi,c apparatus, charts and chemicals,
suc,. as are not published or made in
TIE United States, expressly imported in
good faith by and for the use of any reg
uarly established incorporation, univer-
sity, college, academy, school, seminary
of learning or free public library and not
intended for sale, to be admitted free of
duty.
In compliance with the protests of the
fruit importers the paragraph relating to
pineapples. which were made dutiable at
cents pound. has been changed so as to
permit pineapples in barrels or other
packages TO be made dutiable at cents
per cubic foot When imported in bulk
the duty will be Sc per 1000. Chlorate of
sodium was added TO schedule A and
made dutiable at 5 cents per pound

AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY
FOR THE FooL-KILLER.
Two Brothers Quarrel Over the Same
Girl-One is Dead and the Other
Will Die.

Greensburg, Ind, March 24.-George
and Calvin Holmes, brothers. fought a
duel to'the death near Moore's hill this
afternoon. The boys were twins and
% years old. They were members of a
prominent and wealthy family. Miss
Higgs, over whom they fought, is 20
years of age and the daughter of one
of the wealthiest families in the coun-
ty. About a year ago George Holmes
began paying his attentions to Miss
Higgs and he was favorably received.
Last Christmas his brother Calvin re-
turned from college and met the young
lady at neighborhood dance. They
at once seemed smitten with each
other and this aroused the jealousy of
the girls lover. Nothing was known
of his feelings, however, until Sunday
night, when Miss Higgs Tilted him for
his brother. A quarrel ensued. This
afternoon the brothers met in the road.
They quarreled and struck each other,
when Calvin fired. Several shots were
exchanged, when George dropped dead.
Calvin is wounded over the heart,

Crime and LIQUOR.

The twenty-sixth annual report of the
Massachusetts bureau of statistics of
labor by Horace G. Wadlin, chief,
which has just been issued, contains
some very valuable matter showing
the relation of drink to crime. Only a
few items we Gull at present.

TEMPERANCE.
Rumselling as a Crime.

Says a recent writer: There is no
other crime known to society so all
embracing in its destructive power as
that of rum selling, and the govern
ment that gives it legislative sanction
commits the greatest possible crime
against society. A political party
which licenses the saloon has no more
right to live in this enlightened age than
than has a piratical craft upon the
high seas a right to live. And those
who by votes and membership help to
give influence to and prolong the life
of such a party are as guilty of COM
plicity with the party's crime as per-
son would be guilty of completely with
the crime of robbery who should know
ingly give protection and aid to a
highWayman.

Railroad Accidents and Drink.

The last issue of the Quarterly Jour-
nal of Inebriety says:
Recently, a great railroad corpora
ton gathered all the facts concerning
the men and the conditions of every
accident which had occurred on its
lines for five years. When tabulated,
it appeared that 40 per cent of all ac-
cidents were due altogether, or in part,
to the failures of men who were drink
ing; that in Is per cent there was
strong suspicion of similar causes, yet
no clear proof In one year over a mil
lion dollars worth of property was de-
stroyed by the failures of beer-drink
ing engineers and switchmen. The COM
pany's rules requiring temperate men
for all positions are more and more
vigorously enforced. Engineers find
that practically they are unable to do
good work while using spirits even in
small doses. The GOODNESS and presence
of mind so essential in their work is
broken up by alcohol in any form.
-Trainmen, exposed to weather,
reach the same conclusion, if they are
practical men. The startling mortality
of brakemen is referable in many cases
to the use of alcohol to drive out the
cold, or keen awake in long hours of
service. Each year the duties and re-
sponsibilities of railroad men increase
and men more temperate, accurate,

New Association Probable.

San Francisco, March 24.-Since the re-
tirement of Adolph Spreckels and Secre-
tary Leake from the Pacific Coast Jockey
club rumors have been afoat regarding
the probability of a new raging associa-
ton.
1t is said that Mr.. Spreckels and his
friends have lately given the matter much
consideration, and have arrived at the
conclusion that a third racing association
can be formed and conducted on a paying
basis.
1t is said the 100000 invested in the In
gleside enterprise netted a profit to the
stockholders last year of neatly 100000,
and it is believed similar amount in
vested in another track will enjoy at least
half of that revenue. 1t is said negotia-
tons for the purchase of property suit
able for race track site are already
under way. Both Spreckels and Leake
refuse to discuss the matter.

DIR. Theodore Burr.

Detroit. Mich, March 24-Dr. Theodore
Burr died at his residence here this MORN
ing, aged 81 years. His career was varied
and most interesting During the Mexi-
can war he served under General Win
field Scott. and reached the rank of colo
mel before peace was declared. During
the civil war he rendered the north an
inestimable service, for which he received
little or no credit. Plans for building
an iron gunboat of an entirely new style
had been forming in his mind for some
time, and the countryS great need caused
him to build a model and carry it to
Washington. The steamer was constructed
after Burrs model and when almost ready
for use was seen by john Ericsson, the
famous inventor, who conceived the idea
of improving it with revolving turret.
Burr agreed to the alteration, and the
magnificent success of the joint effort of
tho two men is a matter of worldwide
fame

who Rules Congressp

Bonfort's Wine and Spirit Circular,
in speaking of the influence of the Ma
tional Retail Liquor Dealers associa-
ton, says:
Since the organization of the ma
tional body. no Objectionable measure
has become a law at Washington. For
instance, the defeat of the proposed
increase of the beer tax; the proposed
increase of the retail liquor dealers
tax from S25 to $500. and the defeat of
the bill prohibiting saloons to exist
within 300 feet of any postoffice in cities
of 10000 or less, all of which can be
attributed to the work of the national
association"
What do members of congress say to
this?

IN THE SENATE.
Session Was as Brief as a Summer
Shower

Washington, March 24.-The senate
spent only half an hour in open session
today, the remainder of the time being
given to the consideration of the arbi-
tration treaty behind closed doors.
The agricultural bill-one of the four
bills appropriating money that failed
at the last session-was reported
back in the shape in which
il passed the house last week,
and was placed on the calendar 1t will
be acted on at an early day.
The attack upon the civil service law
and its administration, which distin-
guished yesterdays proceedings, were
followed up today by the introduction
of two bills, one by Mr.. Allen (Pop..
Neb.), for the repeal and annulment of
the law and of all executive orders is
sued under it. and the other by Mr..

prompt and careful in their work are
required. Only absolutely temperate
men can do this work for any length of
time; all others fail and are dangerous
in their weakness.
"A western road permitted an inc
briate, who was really an able man,
to continue as a claim agent adjusting
accounts against the company. His
drinking was supposed to be an aid in
the settlement of claims with other
drinking men. After his death tenn
perate man who filed his place saved
several thousand dollars a year by do
