a Large Number Received the l,eneii,

The STAR has had very largo num-
ber of subscription renewals this
month, and added II number of names
to its list. The low rate of sl.Co a
year expires today. We have held the
offer open for month and those who
have failed to avail themselves of the
reduced rate are the losers. We made
the low rate during December in order
to get our books squared mp as much as
possible for the new year, and to in
duce subscribers to pay in advance as
much as possible, to begin with the
first of the ear. Single subscriptions
for the STAR, cash in advance, will be
sl.50 after today (Friday) although we
will continue to offer very fine clubbing
combinations with almost any leading
newspaper or magazine that one may
desire.

TENEMENT HOUSE FIRES.
Insurance Patrol Works as Faithfully Fo,
the Poor az For Those Who Are Insured.

Insurance Patrol Works as Faithfully For
the Poor az For Those Who Arc Insured.
There is an article in St. Nicholas on
",rhe Fire Patrol" written by Charles
7. Hill, who has contributed series of
papers to that magazine on the New
York fire department. Mr.. Hill says:
At fires i'll the homes of the poor these
dctaclments of the patrol work just as
earnestly and conscientiously to save
property as they would i'll the expensive
ly furnished mansions of the rich. AT
tenement house fires they are of great
service. First, they aid in getting the
people out; then, gathering the goods
together, the patrolmen protect them
from water with tarpaulin covers. The
majority of these fires break out i'll the
easements or cellars, then, following
the air and light shafts to the top floor,
they spread and do the greatest damage
in the upper stories. To ToeXtinguish these
fires the other floors below have to be
flooded, and were it not for the fire pa
troll in many cases the poor families
would lose everything they owned.
One Of the captains of the patrol re-
marked: "Why, it would do your heart
good if you could hear how profuse
these poor people are in their thanks,
and the blessings they shower on us
when they find we've saved their things.
They go running around wringing their
hands and crying, 'Everything's lost,
everything's lostr And then, when the
fire is out, we lead them back and show
them their things, as dry as chip un.
der the covers, and-well, say, there
isn't anything they wouldn't do for us.
Half the time they'r not insured, and
it isn't our business to protect people
who are not, but we're not supposed te
know everything, and our orders are tt
protect property first and find out
whether it is insured afterward, and il
is not our fault if we save the little all
Of lot Of poor creatures who half the
time haven't a change of clothes to thei,
backs. You bet we get to work just al
quick in a tenement house fire as in {
big house on Fifth avenue, and we d.
the same work in both places, no mat
ter whether it's for the rich or the poor. .

Frank Clough. son of DIR. T.. e.
Clough, who once attended the college
here, but is now going to school in Bos-
ton, writes his father about trip that
he made to the state Soldiers Home.
We are permitted to make extracts and
wish we had room for more of it, for
it's interesting. He says:
THE Home is situated on top of
Powder Horn Hill and is one of the
prettiest views of the entire region.
On one side stretches out Boston.
Cambridge. Bunker Hill and the other
settlements, while OH the other side
shoS Us up the old ocean in all it's grand
eur. One thing you can say about the
ocean is that there is nothing small
about it. Electric cars run to all re-
sorts for nickel.
The Soldiers Home building was
originally summer hotel, but it never
paid, so the state bought it. 1t is a
long frame building, with three stories
and basement. The kitchen is about
like our states Home, except being
larger. They make their own electrici-
ty and manufacture their own ice. On
the first floor are the offices and few
rooms for old soldiers, and the chapel.
On the second floor are rooms with two
beds in. All the rooms are furnished
by the w. r. c., s. of V. OF ladies' aid
societies. All the furniture the state
bought was the bed and commode.
Some rooms are fixed up very nicely.
Tho pillow slips are all of red, white
and blue, and the draperies at nearly
all the windows areof flags. The SOL
diers take care of their own rooms,
which are given an inspection every
Sunday morning. The ladies societies
also inspect at least once a month.
Soldiers can not lie on their bed until
after 5 p. M, but there are number
of couches in the halls on which to re-
cline. The dining room is arranged
like ours, the tables having brown
checked oil cloth on them. Detailed
men wash the dishes and help around
the home. There is a large smoking
room and billiard and pool room in
each building. When / went in the
room was so thick with smoke you
could cut it with cheese knife. The
hospital is the largest part of the build
ing-over ninety occupants, most of
them incurables. On the first floor is
dormitory for the old men who are just
able to get around, while on the other
floors the rooms are either single or
double and are used for the patients
who are most always in bed. The
laundry is quite neat affair, run by
members of the home. They don't iron
any of the outside colored shirts but
just fold them up from the wringer. 4:
1 tell you my candid summing up of
the affair is that in no respect is it
better than the South Dakota home,
and in some respects it is not its equal
by long ways"

Judge Gar.lner's Last Session.

Judge Gardner convened the ad-
journed term of circuit court on Mon
day to wind up the court business of
the county before he leaves the bench.
He has closed his five years. service,
and the sincere goodwill and best
wishes of large number of friends will
follow him.
The Germond divorce case occupied
the attention of the court most of the
time Monday and Tuesday, attracting
quite number-for it bordered upon
the sensational. The court granted
Mrs. Germond divorce, and we un-
derstand that she also receives alimony
to the extent of the Cold Brook resi-
dence and sixty lots.
The case of James Bradley VS.. the
Minnekahta bank, which has been
pending for several months, was deci-
ded Wednesday evening, after occupy
ing the court for overa day. Mr.. Brad
ley as county treasurer had deposited
5000 in Minnekahta bank; the bank
had obtained judgment against the
county for $1,000 on court house war
rant that the bank held, which iudg-
ment had been sold to the Union Nat
ional bank of Omaha. This case was
brought to compel the banks to allow
the Bradley deposit to Offset the war
rant judgment. The court so ordered.
kellar ~ kellar appeared for Mr.. Brad
ley and bondsmcn and E. w. Martin
for the banks.
A rancher who was i'll the city this
week said he hoped our county COM
missioner would turn over new
leaf" with the coming of the New Year
and hereafter make no rebate on taxes,
but force every taxpayer to pay just
what his assessment calls for. He said
that taxpayers should settle their as
sessment with the board of equaliza-
tion or forever after hold their peace,
that he and all other people who pay
their taxes regularly were tired of pay
ing their taxes promptly when due and
then having others obtain ''rehate.' 81
He is right about it and the STAR wants
to go on record right here as being
strongly opposed to any such transact
ions, and we trust such thing may
not occur again--unless it is clearly
evident that an error of some kind has
been made.

JULIO SANGUILLY.
PAYS A HIGH TRIBUTE TO CON-
SUL-GENERAL LEE.
Had He Been There Three Years Ago
There Would Have Been Less
American Blood Shed.

KEY WEST QTla), Feb. 2S.-General
Julio Sanguilly has arrived from Ha-
vana by the steamship Mascotte. He
was at first indisposed to say anything
further than what would express his
lasting gratitude to -Consul-Gcneral
Lee, whom he described as a truly no.
BILE American and a man who should
long ago have been in Cuba. Had he
been there three years ago." said San
gully, there would have been less
shedding of American blood" He was
very much agtated as he expressed his
feeling toward Consul General Lee.
Asked how he was treated during his
confinement, he begged earnestly not
to be compelled to recall his expert
ence during the last two years.
Why" said he Il have not been al
lowed to read one solitary newspaper
except those published on the island
When / heard of the death of the brave
General Aiaceo it almost made me col
lapse, not because I thought the death
of one man would check the progress OF
the Cuban cause, but because I knew
then that the butcher Weyler would
not be recalled, as Spain would try to
ceo's death as a great victory for the
Government.
Speaking of his plans for the future
Sanguilly said: Il do not know them
myself, but / am going to Washington
to attend the inaugural parade, having
been invited by the old veteran boys
to parade with them. I have been
given place of honor in the parade
After that / shall go to New York to
see my brother, who has worked so
faithfully for my release, and then
shall keep my promise to the people of
Key West to return and pay them a
visit
General Sanguillys wife was equally
loud in her praise of Consul-General
Lee. He is the best of men," she said
also noble and firm in his convictions
and to him we owe the final release of
my dear husband, who has been con-
fined in a damp dungeon for the past
two years on trumped up charges en-
tirely unsupported by proof. To Con-
sul-General Lee and the people of this
glorious nation, whose noble represen-
tatiye he is, we shall be eternally CRATE
full for my husbands release"

at the wharf. He was discovered and
pointed out by the crowd the momen.
the steamer reached the dock. The
throng in waiting shouted viva Cen
eral Sanguilly, viva Consul Lee, viva
Cuba libre viva Los Estados Unos''
Sanguilly was escorted with his fam
lily to FL Palacio restaurant, where he
dined The restaurant was crowded
with friends and countrymen, eager to
have a word with him and to embrace
him.
When questioned by a friend as TO
the Competitors crew, he replied ear :
nestly that if the Government did not
take prompt and energetic action to
secure their release he feared the worst
would befall them.

CUBA'S CAUSE A JUST ONE.
VIII Win in Spite of All Opposition

KEY WEST. Fla.), Feb. 2S.-Senor
Morote, correspondent of lei Liberal"
of Madrid, who arrived here to-day on
being interviewed, stated he had been
a prisoner of Maximo Gomez, and that
While in the camp of the insurgent
leader he was treated with marked cour-
tesy. He learned that the reforms pro-
posed by Spain would never be accept
ed by the Cubans, and that nothing
short of the independence of the island
would bring about a cessation of hostil-
tiles.
Senior Morote said his study of the
Cuban cause had convinced him that il
was a just one. Referring to General
Weyler, he said: I'VE have a General
there who is causing devastation and
ruin to the whole island, simply because
he now sees that it is lost to Spain, and
that the Cubans will win in spite of all
opposition Spain can Offer
With Senior Brnas, Senior Morote

An extended debate occurred On an
amendment offered by Clark of Wyorn-
ing designed to counteract the Presi-
dents recent order withdrawing 21,-
0000 acres of land from the public
domain and creating forest reserva-
tions. Clark criticised the Presidents s
order as arbitrary, saying the people of
the States affected had not been con-
suited. 1t was, he said, the most Sc
rious blow al at the western coun-
try since the pTstt t Congress came
into existence.
Carter of Montana, who was Com
missioner of the Land Office at the time
an inquiry into forest reservations was
begun, also criticised the Presidents s
order as hasty, and in total disregard
to vast interests. Towns, villages,
mills and mines had been indiscrimi-
nately included within these forest res
ervations
Cannon of Utah said the Presidents
order covered an area greater than that

1t is as follows:

! Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Montana,

FIGHTING CONTINUES In CRETE.
INSURGENTS SHELLED BY A
TURKISH WARStiIP.
CretanS Will Continue the Struggle
Until Political Union With
Greece is Realized.

LONDON, Feb. 2S-It is stated here
to-day that there is good authority for
believing the result of the conferences
between the representatives of the
great Powers at Constantinople and
Athens will be the presentation of col
lective notes to Turkey and Greece
tomorrow. Greece will be allowed four
days to recall her land and sea forces
from Crete.
1t is reported from Canea that sever
al insurgent leaders have sent to Vice
Admiral Canevaro of the Italian fleet
a signed declaration that the Cretans
will accept no solution of the pending
question but political union with
Greece.
Fighting continues between the in
surgents and Mussulmans near Retimo
and elsewhere. The Christians besieg-
ed the Turkish garrisons in the block
house at Malta for several days.
To-day a body of Turkish regulars
and irregulars left Canea with a convoy
to revictual the bloc iouse. The in
surgents attacked the column and kill
ed several of the escort, whereupon the
Turkish battleship Fuad opened fire
upon the insurgents with Shells and
continued the firing until stopped by
order of the foreign Admirals. The
convoy was finally compelled to retire.
The latest advices from Canea is that
fighting between the besieged garrison
and the Cretans continues. The villages
of Trikalaria and Meroukouri, in the
same district, have been burned by
Bashi Bazouls. Fighting continues
also outside Gambia. The Christians
have repulsed the Turks. The new mill
tary Governor, Tewfik Pasha, arrived
to-day.
Dispatches from Athens state that a
number of Cretan deputies, headed by
the Bishop of Rctimo, have presented
King George a memorial. This states,
in effect. that autonomy instead of
pacifying the island will only pave the
way for another revolution later on,
and still further endanger the peace of
Europe: and that, therefore, the
Cretans are resolved to continue the
struggle until political union with
Greece, their long cherished hope, is
realized.
1t is reported that 800 more volun-
teers have evaded the blockade estab
lished by the Powers, and landed safely
on the southeast coast of Crete.
