Such a horror as that at the orphan age near Dallas. where sixteen chil- dren perished in the flames and nine were seriously injured, ought not to have been possible. Of course. the fact that the fire broke out at midnight Is a reason for the inability to save more of the children. but there was a fa grant abuse of the first principles of safety in housing 247 children Fl q building constructed chiefly of wood. Even if the fire had occurred ill the daytime, there is serious doubt Whe-h- CT the tinder-bOX would not have been entirely in flames before all the in mates could have been rescueds Any large building that is intended to ae commOdate a vast number of people should undoubtedly be built of fire proof material. and the authorities ln every State should always see to 1t that this fundamental care of human life is always taken.

A MURDEROUS REDSKIN.
Fiendish Cruelty of the Blood thirsty
 Apache Kid.


 With the exception of Geronimo no Indian in recent years has attracted so much attention as the Apache Kid. For some six years he has made sanguinary history along the Rio Grande and the Mexican border The depredations of this unique outlaw have cost the United States some S6O0OO and both United States troops and Mexican troops have travelled many weary miles in search of him. At different times there have been as many as 100 trained soldiers of the plains, both on the American and the Mexican sides of the Rio Grande, in search of Apache Kid. while military scouts and United States marshals and Government police officers by the score have labored and schemed long and vainly for the arrest of the Indian, and the attainment of the prize of S6,000 offered for the taking of the outlaw.
 The Apache Kid is a short, stocky. full-bloOded Indian. He is wiry and bold and has never had an hours edu- cation in any Government or private school. Until he became an outlaw he never left the State of Arizona. and he was attached as scout to the San Car los Indian reservation. Back ill 1SSS the Kid asked permission to attend to q tribal duty. for which leave of absence was necessary. This was to kill an other Indian who had slain the Kids gra ndfa thcr. Permission was. of course. denied. but this did not trouble the Kid much. One night he escaped from the troops and shot and killed the slayer of his grandfather. The following June he returned to the reservation and be- ing immediately put under arrest. was taken to Capt. D. F.. Pierce'S tent. Im- mediately there was excitement among the Indian friends of Kid. and several shots were fired through the canvas into the tent. Amid the confusion Kid recovered his carbine. sprang aside. jumped upon horse behind a comrade. and the mutinouS scout fled. after shooting an army corporal in the leg.
 The mutineerS went toward Old Mex icO, killed two white men in the GeaI- lurO Mountain passes on the way. but were S2 closely pursued that they dOu- bled on their tracks and returned to the reservation. All were arrested. Some were hanged for murder, and Kid and fOur other scouts were court-mar.ialed and sent to AlcatraZ. To the surprise of some military officers President Cleveland pardOned Kid and his com panioDs, and they returned to Arizona. tH 1889 indictments for murder were hOund against Kid and several other Indians. and they were arrested hv Capt. Bulli;. agent at San Carlos. and delivered to the civil authorities of Ar- zona. Sheriff Glen Reynolds. Deputy Holmes and teamster, named Middle

While the attention of the world has been concentrated on Turkey and Cu- ba some other important foreign af fairs have been permitted to run wild as it were. and have only just succeed ed ill forcing a passage to publicity on the cables. Perhaps the most pXtraOr- dinary event, if it Is as serious as if an- pears to be, is that reported from Brass, Guinea coast" Although Brass in other localities has been rp SpOnSible for many striking incidents recently, they have not been so aston ishing as this report from the Brass on the Guinea coast. News has just been received here" 1t says. that the eXDp- dition sent by the Royal Niger Com pany against the Emir of Nupe from LOkOja found the FOulah army dispers- ed and in flight when it arrived at kabba." This must have been exceed ingly unpleasant for the poor old Emir of Nupe. and 1t must have annoyed the FOulah army excessively to fall T victim thus to LOkOja probably means lockjaw). Yet, viewed as a strategic movement simply on the part of the Niger company, it cannot be denied that since it was seeking the discOm- titure of the Emir of Nupe and the Fou- lah army the best way to accomplish it was to proceed to kabba.

Dr. k. !. Sem, of Chicago. is thus quoted in the Chicago Times Herald: 'I do not believe that physicians should wear bushy boards. In fact. think we will all have to come to the sacrifice and go cleanly shavcn here after. l believe that the conventional doctor of the future will have smooth face Instead of beard My father is bitterly opposed to boards for pbysi- clans. and does not allow his internes 10 wear them. I think 1t is possible to be too radical iH the matter. and per haps he is. l wear closely cropped beard, and I do not see how it can aid at all in spreading cOntagiOn. With a long beard, and especially In surgical cases, it is different. Careful physi- clans who have boards protect them with gauge guards, of course, and do not allow them to come in contact with or distribute disease germs in wound. It is better, perhaps, for all physicians to be clean shaved. and I certainly be, lieve we will all have to come to it."

ton. took Kid, seven other Indians and a Mexican. and started in a wagon lor Yuma. where the Indian murderers were to have been hanged.
 One day c,;rly in November of 1889 ;he outfit was toiling slowly over ;i hard road To relieve the horses the Sheriff made his prisoners walk up q steep hill. all but one, who was lame, or pretended to be. The Sheriff walked in front; the prisoners followed. Shackled in couples: Deputy Holmes walked behind them. and the wagon containing Middleton and one prisoner brought up the rear. There was bot tle of whisky along. and the officers became careless. At concerted signal the prisoners hurled themselves bodily upon the two officers and bore them 10 the ground. and the Indian in the wa"- on seized MiddletOn'S pistol and ShOt him in the face. The officers were heat en to death with stones. Middleton was shot again and left for dead and the Mexican made his escape before the h. danS got rid of their Shacklcs. They took the Shackle key from the dead Sheriff's pocket and released them selves. and also robbed his body of i gold watch and $300 in cash. Armed with the officers weapons. the Apaches fled into the mountains. That was Kids original band of renegades. a lot of cutthroats who knew their lives were forfeit and that any additional crimes could not aggravate their offense or it's punishment.
 The eight Indians did not stay with one another very long. The cavalry from Fort Bowie was in hot pursuit. and over 100 cowboys and settlers joined ill the chase for the fugitiveS. Close pursuit forced the Indians to scatter. and during the next two and a half years they one by one drifted back to the outskirts of the reservation. They nave told stories. which have been veri- fled, of the murders that Kid prompted among settlers. both north and south of the Rio Grande and the RincOn range of mountains. As for Kid himself. hn is wandering along the border, killing people once in while and getting credit for many murders and crimes, perhaps, which others commit. The Government finds it impossible to cap ture him, even with a price of S6,00O on hiS head.

The orange freeze is much more disastrous than the destruction of grain crop. The latter can be sOwn again next sea son, but frozen orange tree must be started anew.

Saved by the Cattle.

 would appear that they do sometime
 rise to an emergency. We abbrevia t,
 the narrative of an old farmer in tn, interior of New Brunswick.
 One afternoon my father had sen
 me and my little brother Teddy to brin: ill the cattle. We were about halfway home with them when there came { long, queer bowling sound from tht other side of the clearing that nearly made my heart stop beating. The cat tie heard it, too, and two or three young heifers started to bolt, but the old ones prOmply hooked them back. Then, not quarter of a mile away we saw a pack of gray brutes dart ont of the woods and make straight for Us.
 What do you suppose the cattle did! The old cows and the steers made q regular circle putting the calves, witl me and Teddy. in the center. They stood with their heads out and horns down, like a company of militia form. ing q square to receive q charge of cavalry. The old black and white bull was running the affair.
 Il expect fatherll hear the noise, and he and Bill''-the hired man-"will come with guns and save us,' said Teddy.
 The wolves charged straight at the circle of horns. We heard the old bull humble something away down in his throat, and then one of his horns was through the belly of the leader. Al this unexpected repulse the others drew back.
 After a brief hesitation. they return. ed and stole round and round the cir. cle, looking for weak spot. On the other side from our champion there stood nervous young COW. Suddenly a wolf made a rush upon her. She sprang aside, thus opening a passage by which the wolf rushed into the very center of the circle, with his fierce red eyes fastened upon Teddy.
 But the old bull had spotted him Nimble as squirrel, he bowled me and Teddy over like nine-pins, and was after the wolf, mumbling and grum. bling away down ill his stomach. He fixed the wolf! Just at that moment father and Bill dashed up and snatch. | ed Us two youngsters into their saddles. |

The Dallas News in speaking of the cotton crop of that State gives the Southern planter good advice. It says: "Let him diversity his crops. If he is in doubt whether to plant ten or twen- ty acres in cotton let him make it ten. Success and safety are on the side of diversificatiOn. Do not stake your all on cotton" The same wise words would apply to agriculturlstS in every part of the country. It is tempting Providence and the laws of nature to plant whole farms with one product
