Victory is wrested from death by the
various species passing on their life into
new beings of the same species, or, in
other words, by reproduction. So while
the dying perish the feud with death is
still maintained by the living who step
into the breach; they in their turn pass
ing on to others the precious heritage
of life to be guarded at all hazards and
entrusted in undimnished force and
beauty to those that follow still later.
The greatest JOY OF spring is, therefore,
that it is a living picture of conquest; a
short-lived triumph indeed but yet sweet
while it lasts for there is prepared from
its results the next generation of plants
and insects and animals, so that the
world may not be ifeless. Spring, now
is thy glory Grave, where is thy
victory?
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1897-05-07

The Creative Force in the world
appears to love living things and to hate
death; fit were not so, why the tricks
and devices for enabling things that
live, though they themselves perish, yet
still to retain a place on the earth
through their descendants? The arch
enemy of all created things may triumph
over the individual OF any class, but he
is not triumphant all along the line, else
were this globe long ago liteless desert.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1897-05-07

Viewed in one way, the gloom and
depression of death is over everything
mundane. 1t is sad enough picture, yet
needful to remember in order to gain the
full lesson from the new life now swarm
ing in earth and air and sky. 1t sunsate
to assert that there are things the
Almighty cannot do. One thing. how
ever is certain; He has never yet made
a living creature with material body
that lasts forever. AS soon as the ele-
ments of living things are gathered
together the conflict between lite and
death begins; with ultimate victory COM
pletely assured for thelatter Everything
that lives is battle-ground for forces
that are doing their best to send it back
dissolved into its acknowledgements. And
they succeed
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1897-05-07

The glory OF green flung suddenly over
sober fields and naked trees, the futter
of busy birds twittering and whistling
OF love and defiance, the subtle odors OF
flowers and fgrasses:-allunite to thrill
the senses, until the healthy heart is filled
with the same universal joy of living.
The blind can feel the change, and the
deaf can see it; every living thing
answers the summons. The heart of the
young grows light, for is not the time Of
listening to the birds and OF gathering
flowers at hand? The sluggish blood of
the aged courses more freely again and
the devout heart swells with gratitude
for one more spring in the "World Beau
tiful." Even the room OF the invalid
becomes the home of unselfsh pleasure at
the thought of the merriment and sum
shine that fill the world.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1897-05-07

But there is a message to the reason
and an appeal to the soul in springtime,
far transcending any qualification of the
senses 1t explains at once to us the
almost delirious JOY with which the
season is greeted. What is it The real
recognition-in some cases, instructive;
but none the less real-that for the time
being life has triumphed, though the
earth for months has lain in the valley of
the Shadow OF Death. Life out ofdeath
victory out OF defeat, new energy fed by
the things that have perished This is
the joy note of spring.

before 1t was all in hand at the state
department. 1t was not the length of
the message that occupied the wires
all of that time, but the fact that it
was all in groups of figures, and that
it was probably being filed in small
patches as it was turned into the COM
pIicated state department cipher in
Madrid. All of this work had to be un-
done at the state department and the
message translated from the cipher
back again into English. This occu-
pied nearly all of the day so that it
was half past o'clock before the first
fair copy of the message was turned
out. The message was not so long,
in fact there were little less than
1000 words in the communication, for
Mr.. Woodford, instead of cabling the
whole of the Spanish answer to his
note had contented himself with re-
ducing the matter to a brief outline.
The first copy was taken at once to
the president, not being entrusted to a
messenger, but being delivered by Chief
Clerk Michaels in person at the White
house. After due opportunity had been
allowed the president to read the mes
sage AN application was made for
statement of it's contents or nature.
This was declined by Secretary Porter
and it was said that under no circum-
stances would the correspondence be
made public before consideration of the
cabinet.
From unofficial information that has
reached certain administration off,
cials, in advance of this message of
Mr.. Woodford's, as to the nature of
the Spanish reply, it is evident that In
neither language nor subject matter is
the communication likely to be taken
as offensive by our government. 1t
may be, it is true, regarded as in
suficient to meet the issue presented

WARAS SFi
BUILDING
BURNED.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. PA lighted
cigarette, dropped by a thoughtless
clerk, is supposed to have caused a
fire, which this afternoon practically
Quilted the white stone building at the
corner of Seventh and Chestnut streets,
occupied by the general offices of the
Wabash railroad. At 1:25 o'clock, just
after the clerks had returned from
their noon recess and were beginning
work, a policeman standing on the cor
ner below noticed a small tongue of
fame shoot out from a window in the
fifth story of the building, which was
used as a storage attic Instantly
puff of dense black smoke followed, and
the officer rushed into the building
shouting the alarm. Instantly there
was confused rush for every means
of exit. Fortunately the stairways
were wide, the building in former years
having been used for the public school
library and the polytechnic institute.
The attic was stored with old papers
and documents, and within tVe minutes
was a roaring furnace The whole floor
seemed to suddenly burst into names
in every part During all this excite
ment seven young women, employed
in one of the inner mailing rooms on
the fourth floor, had not been notified,
and were still working unconscious of
their peril When they did discover
their situation, they found to their hor-
ror that it was impossible to reach the
street. as the stairway was burning
fiercely. They appeared at the win
dows and a cry Of horror went up
from the street below. "The fire
escape" shouted the crowd, and the
Young women comprehending disap-
peared and moment later climbed out
on the iron platform of the building.
They hesitated, but the advancing
flames gave them determination, and
they started on their descent, reaching
the street in safety.
By this time two floors of the build
ing were doomed, and it was apparent
that the fire had gained such headway
that the entire building must go. An

Special to the Globe.
HELENA, Mont Oct 27.-Two spe-
cial freight trains on the Great North
ern railway collided head on near
Hinsdale Mont, a few miles east of
Glasgow, yesterday afternoon, and two
men were killed and four injured. Five
merchandise cars and twelve empties
were burned on the west bound train.
The east bound consisted of eight cars
of copper matte from Anaconda, five
cars of sheep and two cars of horses.
The matte cars went over the engine
when the collision occurred completely
burying the engineer, who was not eX-
tricated until late today. The stock
cars escaped destruction by fire. The
dead are:

stock train.

any report of the convicts whom he
has struck or beaten over the head
with his cane; it is generally supposed
that Mr.. Wolfer is kept in ignorance
of that, and that all he does know of
the discipline of the prison Is from
Deputy Lemons reports.
1t has been said that Mr.. Wolfer does
not always approve of the punishment,
even Of a legitimate nature, imposed
by Deputy Lemon. An ex-convict, a
man who has certainly reformed and
is leading quiet life, respected by all
who know him, informed the Clio b e
yesterday of two incidents in which
the warden oVerruled and reversed
Lemons action in matters of discipline
At one time Lemon reduced one of the
Floyd boys from the first to the third
grade, for some alleged trifing infrac-
ton of the rules of the prison. When
the warden heard of 1t, through Lem
on's daily report, he Immediately or
dered the convict restored to his former
grade.
On the other occasion Deputy Lemon
committed a convict named Gross to
the solitary; when the report reached
Mr.. Wolfer he Immediately ordered
Gross release.
The question naturally asserts IT.
self: Does the management of the
prison ''play favorites" among the in
mates?

among those received by the Clio b e
since it has begun publishing such in
formation as it has been able to secure
about the prison:

urally everybody is much pleased. The
gross earnings of the company during
September show an increase over the
same month last year of something
over s670,000, while the records show
that the operating expenses for the
same period were increased only $4,000.
It will be seen from this that nearly
all the increased gross was increased
net, a state of affairs not often found.
The amount of net earnings for the
three months ending Oct. 1, according
to the report, show the very crafty
ing increase of nearly $95G,000 over the
corresponding period last year, while
a glance at the summary below shows
that the total net income for the three
months amounted to nearly $S,000,0OO,
which revenue is equivalent to about
half the fixed charges of the company

wires were clipped, and in an instant

left of the two top floors. but the
broken walls, while the three lower
floors suffered damage from water and
falling debris. The fire came so sud-
denly that the Wabash COMPANY was
prevented from saving anything. Every
record in the office Of the chief engi-
neer, rights of way, real estate deeds
and surveys of every description were
destroyed. An officer of the company
estimated their loss at $500, 600. Real
estate men place the valuation Of the
building at 100000. The Wabash COM
pany had occupied new quarters before
the fire was under control.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 27.-The Tur-
gis elevator, owned by the Buffalo Ele-
waiting company, and situated on the
island at the foot of Indiana street, was
totally destroyed by fire this afternoon.
The origin of the fire is unknown. but
the owners are inclined to think that
it was caused by spark from a pass
ing tug. There was in the elevator at
the time of the fire $4,000 bushels of
wheat, 10000 bushels Of corn and 100.-
COO bushels of oats The grain was
valued at 100000 and insured for $685.

On the desks Of one or two Of the
higher officials of the Northern Pacific
road yesterday there lay copies of
renort made up several days ago by
Comptroller H. A. Gray, and which by
this time has gladdened the hearts of
those Eastern people who have money
ed interests in the property quite as
much as it did those of the men In
whose hands the administration of the
big system has been left and who have
labored hard and faithfully for its
prosperity. The report is made up to
show something of the finances of the
company, both for the three months
ending Oct. 1, and also for the single
month of September.

than the warden himself, seemingly for no
other purpose than to crafty little personal
spite of his own. AS the gentleman to whom
admission was refused had always borne the
reputation during his five years of service
as guard at the prison Of being a thorough
and painstaking officer, the insult v4as felt
keenly by him, and was shared equally among
hundreds of his friends, many of whom in
former years had visited the prison and had
received the most courteous treatment from
the always obliging and gentlemanly officials
of the institution.
In all due respect to- the warden and to
his standing throughout the state of Mime
sota as the head officer of one of our greatest
state institutions, it is but fair and just to
the gentleman to whom he refused admission,
that he offer either an explanation or an
apology for his conduct on that occasion.

DEMANDS AN INVESTIGATION.
To the Editor of the Globe.
The G l O e's exposure of cruelty and in
human treatment visited upon the unfortunate
and helpless inmates of the state prison at
saltwater demands the most searching inves-
tigation. 1t will not suffice to say that the
charges are made for political purposes, or
that they emanate from discharged employees
Of tue prison, or eX-convicts. Warden Wolfer
and Deputy Warden Lemon both owe 1t to
themselves and to the state to demand an
exhaustive inquisition into this matter. II
they are innocent of these charges the people
of Minnesota who have the pride and honor
of the state at heart, want their Innocence
proven. If they are guilty these same people
want them punished for their misdeeds.
There Is no more debased, repulsive, and at
the same time pitiful creature On earth than
a coward All well regulated men loath
and despise such a creature. Then let us
have this investigation, by all means, and
prove to the outside world that Minnesota
has no men of the above stripe on her pay
rolls, or, if she has, give her chance to
show the people at large that she knows how
to punish them for their wanton violation of
law.
We do not want any one-man investigation,
such as our chief executive IS reported to
have said he would probably order. No.
What we do want is an unbiased, impartial,
non-partisan committee appointed, who will
make an honest inquiry into these charges,
and who can have access to the prison in
mates free from the restraining influence of
prison officials w. H. Roberts.
