ENTLRT1IA MEMS.


Shortly before William II. Crane pre-
sented "A Fool of Fortune" in New
York it became noised about that the
part he was to play required him to die
in the last act, At some of the clubs
this was looked upon as a good joke,
To most of the men about town the
idea of man attempting to die who
simply had to puff out his cheeks and
wag his head to set an audience in a
roar, was simply preposterous, Don't
die, Will" said the actors friends;
leave that for Irving and Mansfield;
the public likes to see them die" Il
have got to die" answered the actor,
otherwise the title Of the play will be
a misnomer, and the ending of it will be
outlandishly conventional and hack
neyed," We'll, We'll all go and see you
do it, they replied. The death scene
was awaited with much interest. The
curtain dropped on the scene which
brings the play to a close and the
house was a quiet as church. Some
one shouted Bravo and in an in
slant the applause was deafening, it
compelling the actor to come before the
curtain and make speech. Mr. Crane
Is very much in love with the part he
has to play in his new work for the rea-
son that it enables him to show his true
calibre as an actor. The play is to be
given at the Hyperion theater on Mon
day next. Sale of seats now open.

At a Socialist Colony.

Ft Scott, Kans. .-C Liscomb. presi- dent of the Bourbon County Socialist society was recently sent to the Rus kin Socialist colony ln Tennessee to report upon the details of conducting the colony. He is now there and has sent lengthy report to the Kansas societles, in which he says: Here the principals of Socialism are proven by practical demonstration to be effi- cacious in bringing about the condi- tions for which the lover of his neigh Dor longs-the placing of all men on an equality. Ruskin has it's factories, it's printing office, it's general stores, its farms and it's big public hotel, where all it's citizens meet three times the big whistle blows and in a few moments men, women and children begin to pour in from every quarter every one cheerful, healthy and com fortably clothed. These people come from the farms, the factories, offices, shops and dwellings to the big dining hall, each to eat of the good things that the colony has, which are simply the just and equitable reward for hon est labor. Some human hyenas say that Socialism in practice will destroy individualism. So it will-the hyena part-but it brings out the human part. The cook, the farmer, the edi- tor and all are classed as real men and respected alike for their virtnres and not for their vanities This is my second day and I have not heard one vulgar IT profane word nor seen d man or woman in rage. There is no in- centive to steal. for the big storehousc is the property of all. and to steal would be to rob one's self. The peo- pie have no use for policemen, judges or courts and pTohibitory laws. They are troubled with none of the evils that necessitate these functionaries What would q bootlegger do here where there IS no such thing as profit in trader If anyone needed whlslxey it would be furnished at cost but they don't use it. May we continue to grow and prosper until the whole world is a Ruskin.'

BRYAN AS A REscUER.
Does Noble Work in His First Wreck
 Experience.


 William J. Bryan, who had never before been in wreck, worked hard and nobly in helping to rescue the wounded and carry the dead beyond the reach of the flames in the wreck last week near Emporia, Kansas.
 As soon as the crash came Mir. Bryan ran up to the front of his train where the pile of debris was and clamored up the sloping side of the mountain of wreckage. From out of this mass came the cries of the wounded men.
 One poor man had dragged himself out and sat doubled all up together on top of the pile. He was blood-covered and moaning
 Bryan shouted to those below to find plank for litter. The nearest thing at hand was a plush covered bottom of car seat. Several men seized it at once and climbed up with it. The wounded man was lifted upon it. He groaned with pain. There was many an unavoidable jolt to his broken limbs in getting him down to solid ground. "This isn't what we bargained for neighbors," said Bryan, and then there was something like sob in his voice. Bryan worked with his gray Fedora hat pulled down over his eyes, perhaps to hide tears, for other men as strong as he were weeping and next day in 1 full sight of the crowd, men and wo- men wept as the burned bodies of the trainmen were dug up from the ashes and laid in careful heaps on clean canvas. spread upon the ground at the edge of the cornfield.
 When the wounded were carried and put together on the ground in the light from the burning cars, some of them cried for water and Bryan went back with others to the uninjured coaches and brought up drinking glass and zinc pail filled with ice water from the tanks While some one lifted the heads of the sufferers, Bryan put the glass to their lips. Just as Bryan left the wreck he passed the body of man lying in the cornfield near the track. The man was surrounded by a crowd and it was apparant that he was dying, He was still conscious and some one asked if he had a dying message, and as Bryan stepped up he offered to take it. The man nodded, and Bryan bent over him and the poor fellow gasped his dying message to his loved ones in the ears of the former presidential candi- date. Bryan said the message was oi a personal nature for the dead man s relatives and he declined to make if public.
 Bryan went to Emporia, Kan. with the wounded on the rescue train and then went to the telegraph office and sent dispatches. His hands were bloody and his clothing torn by rescuing the wounded and dying. It was 1 o'clock before he went to bed and he sald this morning that he did not sleep a wink

Lost,

Men who can find their way through
boundless forests and over trackless plains
may easily be lost in the streets Of large
city, truth of which the Toledo Blade
gives an amusing example.
On recent trip of the City of Mackinac
with cargo of horses for local lumber
firm came backwoodsman He had a
great reputation, as land locker" With
out compass, by the bark and moss on
the trees, he had been known to traverse a
quarter section without divorging 20 feet
from the straight line from stake to stake.
He had heard much of the city, and
thought he should like to see some of tho
wonderful things that he had been told
about.
He found work at once his duties being
to deliver lumber to the retail trade about
the city. The first day man was sent
with him to show him the way about tho
town. The next day no was sent out alone,
and did not return, and in the evening
was found on the outskirts of the town
with his load of lumber, so completely
lost and unhappy that he had decided to
stay there all night.
Three times he was sent to deliver lum-
Der and three times he was found in an
other part of the city. Finally he asked
his employer for transportation home.
Said he, 81 do not like these places where
the sun changes its position every five
minutes, and one street is made to go in
four or five different directions"

: THE ARBITRATION TREATY

National 0eunta w adm aad.v

VIII Probably Reach o Vote in ths
National Senate Wednesday.
Washington, May S.-The senate re-
sumed business In earnest today, ana
the week bids fair to be one of impor-
tant results. According to agreement
vote will be taken on the arbitration
treaty on Wednesday. 1t Ia also quite
probable that committee vacancies will
be filled and that the tariff bill will be
reported to the senate. For the rest
Senator Morgan will probably call up
his Cuban resolution, the sundry civil
appropriation bill may be passed, and
Senator Hoar has given notice that he
will move to have the committee on
rules discharged from the further con-
sideration of his amendments to the
rules for the limitation of debate.
There is great uncertainty as to the
rate OF the treaty, and it now looks as
II the margin would not exceed two or
three votes, whatever the result may
be. There are few unascertained
votes which will decide the result. A
canvass made yesterday shows 40
certain for the treaty and 25 certain
against 1t. Twenty-nine votes in oppo-
sition are sufficient to defeat It, but
the opposition do not know Just where
these four votes can be found. There
Will be considerable sparring over the
treaty before the vote is taken, but no
prolonged debate is expected.
The consideration of the sundry civil
appropriation bill has been postponed
until Senator Allison, who will have
charge of 1t in the senate. can be pres
ent.

The President and His Salary,

II shall not attempt to answer the qucs-
ton, How much of his salary does the
president cxpendP" writes ex- President
Harrison in an article in The Ladies'
Home journal on 1.-THE Social Life of the
President. " But those who think he can
live at his case after his retirement on the
income from his savings should take ac-
count of several things-flrst, that the net
income from safe investments does not ex-
coed per cent; second, that tho amount
Invested in home yields no income, and,
third, that he must have private secro-
tary, for his mail will be so large that he
cannot deal with 1t himself. A son of one
of our most eminent presidents who had
lost all Of his means told me that it was
pathetic to see his father, who was In ill
health, laboring beyond his strength to
answer the letters that came to him. But
If the president retains fair measure of
health he will take care of himself. If he
was capable of directing the affairs of the
nation, he may be trusted to administer
his own business, and If he has won the
esteem Of his fellow citizens and has right
ly valued 1t he will not barter it for riches.
To any vocation from which a man may
be suitably called to the presidency no
may suitably return"

BIG FIRE IN PlTTSBURG.
Two Millions Went Up in Smoke Earl y
This Morning.


This Morning.
Pittsburg, May 3.-The most destruc-
tive fire that has visited this city since
1845 broke out about midnight in T. C.
jenkins wholesale grocery house. The
flames spread rapidly from the Jen-
kins building, and soon had consumed
several large buildings in the vicinity.
The total loss will be at least $4,000, 900.
The origin of the fire In the Jenkins
building is not known, but 1t is sup
posed to have been smouldering for
hours in dust heap at the foot of the
elevator shaft. The watchman tried
to get the flames under control, but
gave up the attempt and sent in an
alarm.
A general alarm followed, and soon
all the engines in the city were on
hand. It was seen at once that the
city fire department was not sufficient,
and that from Allegheny City was call
ed on and responded quickly, sending
almost their entire force. 1t was not
until o'clock that the fire was gotten
under control
Three large blocks, extending from
Liberty to Penn avenue, and from
Fifth street to Sixth street, have been
reduced to smouldering ruins. Among
the buildings destroyed are Jenkins
wholesale grocery establishment, the
Duquesne theater Horne's six story
dry goods establishment, Horne's office
building and the Methodist Book Con-
