AN OLD LANDMARK GONE.
The Baldwin Hotel ut San Francisco
is Destroyed by Fire = Five People
Killed and -Four Missing.

The Baldwin Hotel ut San Francisco
is Destroyed by Fire Five People
Killed and Four Missing.
San Francisco, Nov 24.-The Bald
win hotel, for almost 80 years one of
the principal landmarks of San Fran
cisco, is no more. A fire which broke
out in the east end of the building
about 8 o'clock Wednesday morning,
supposedly in the property room of
the Baldwin theater, totally destroyed
the immense structure, entailing a
financial loss of nearly $1,500,OOO. The
loss of life SO far as reported has been
miraculously small, but two deaths
having occurred as far as known. The
list of dead so far as known:
Capt. ]. L. White, San Francisco,
capitalist.
Lewis Myers, Skaguay, Alaska, mer-
chant.
The financial losses are far reaching,
almost every branch of commercial
trade being directly affected. The
ground floor of the hotel was divided
into number of large stores and few
of their occupants saved anything
worth mentioning, the majority re-
porting total losses. Two of the most
handsome cafes in the city, were gutted
and their stocks destroyed. The Bald
win theater, the fashionable amuse-
ment place of this city was totally de-
stroyed with the rest of the building,
and the Secret Service" company,
which was playing an engagement at
the theater, lost all its paraphernalia.
Many members of the company lost
most of their belongings The flames
ture, but much adjoining property was
seriously damaged by water and smoke.
There were upwards of 800 guests in
the hotel when the fire was discovered
and the scenes which followed beggar
description. The watchmen, bell boys
and other hotel employees worked nobly
in arousing sleeping residents. 1t is
believed that every person in the
building was apprised of the danger
within ten minutes after the fire broke
out, but rumors are rife that many of
Fthose in the east wing, where the
flames were discovered, were cut off
from escape and lost. How true these
rumors are cannot be definitely told
for several days yet, as many parts of
the building collapsed, burying any
who may have been left in the build
ing under the debris.
San Francisco, Nov. 25.-The dead
body of ]. M. Leighthead was removed
from the ruins of the Baldwin hotel
yesterday. The body was discovered
in the bath room adjoining his apart
ment, sitting in chair. Tate Pryor's
remains were also found. An unrecog-
nizable body, supposed to be that of a
woman, was recovered from the ruins
of the theater. The idea that there
are many more bodies in the ruins is
gaining credence and the firemen en-
gagged in searching the ruins report
that terrible odor, such as follows
the incineration of flesh, is becoming
apparent. Four persons are known to
be missing.

GORDON STEPS DOWN.
Prominent Philadelphia Jurist Re-
signs from the Bench.

Harrisburg. Pa, Nov. 24.-Judge
Gordon, of Philadelphia, has resigned
and Gov. Hastings has accepted his
resignation. Judge Gordon was the
unsuccessful candidate for the demo
cratic gubernatorial nomination before
the Altoona convention this year, which
was captured by George A. jerks. He
has long been recognized as one of the
leaders of the anti-Harrity element of
the democratic party in this state and
his resignation is believed to have
much political significance. Judge
Gordon has been on the bench for
more than ten years. 1t was expected
that the trial of Senator Quay would
be held in the court presided over by
him, and Quay's friends and attorneys
have declared that under no circum-
stances would they permit Judge Cor
don to try the case, alleging that he
was the mysterious power that was
aiding the district attorney in the
prosecution.
Judge Gordon last night issued a
statement tlslt his resignation was
prompted solely by desire to resume
the practice of law and emphatically
denying that it has any connection
with the Quay case.

Will PROTEST.
Little Rock Citizens DO Not Want Ne
gro Soldiers Stationed There,


Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 2S.-Lieut. j.
w. Phillips, commandant at Fort
Logan H. Root, received telegram
Saturday night notifying him that a
detachment from the Twenty-6fth in
fantry would be sent to this station to
do garrison duty. This information
has created sensation among citizens
generally and has caused stir which
threatens to develop into storm.
The trouble is on account of the fact
that the soldiers the war department
has designated for duty here are ne
groes. and beyond a doubt a strong
protest will be entered with the war
department by the state authorities
and citizens against the occupation Of
the post by colored troops. The pro-
test will not be based entirely upon
hostility to the ne gro, but on the feel
ing prevalent in view of recent
troubles at southern camps against
placing negroes in a position where
clashes with the whites are likely to
occur.

deed, in having such true friends as
the women to look out for their
comfort. Most of them are daugh-
tiers of the women who stood by the
Southern soldiers in the war of
1S6O-65 80 nobly and proved their
devotion by acts of heroic self sacri-

''Such kindly acts of the women as
are now being manifested encourages
men to do their whole duty. They

that it would be dishonorable to
prove recreant to the sacred trust
assumed. A brave man had rather

HOSPITALITY.

Southern hospitality has become
proverbial. 1t manifests itself upon
all proper occasions. 1t Is not stiff
and formal, nor is it of dress
parade character. 1t is but the
outward expression of geniality and
warm -heartedness-a desire to make
everybody within our gates feel
thoroughly at home. Such hospital
ity is a revelation to those who come
from sections where it does not exist
where cold forInality is the rule
and the principle of every man for
himself and the devil take the hind
most prevails-where it ia business
first, last and all the time, and where
civilities are based largely upon the
calculation as to how much can be
made out of them-proprieties SO
frigid that they make a genial, big
hearted fellow feel as if he had been
put on ice for safe keeping.
The hospitality of the South is not
checked by war and the troops are
to be congratulated that the points
of mobilization are in the South.
Wherever there is a camp it is the
pleasure OF the people to contribute
to the comfort of the soldiers and
from every point in the South from
which volunteers have gone there
has been tangible solicitude for the
bodily welfare of the men, as we'll as
wishes for their safe return, etc.
We noticed the statement some
days ago that along the streets of
Jacksonville had been placed barrels
of ice water tor the benefit of the
troops stationed there and how
much this thoughttulness was ap-
preciated by the boys. We thought
that is but an expression of Southern
hospitality.
The women of the South have
always been noted for their great
kindness and gentleness, as well as
for their modesty and beauty. and
the following tribute to the kindness
of the women of Florida, by the
Jacksonville Metropolis, is likewise
| applicable to the women of all parts
| of the South where the opportunity
for such acts has been presented.
The Metropolis says:
"The women all over this State are
proving themselves just as patriotic
| as the men. Before the volunteer
troops had been In camp week the
good women set about organizing
plans to supply their wants and to
] make them as contented and as
cheerful while away from the loved
ones at home as possible. The

THE BATTLE ABBEY.
A Plea for Aid in Building the Con.
federate Memorial Temple.

A Plea for Aid in Building the Con-
federate Memorial Temple. !
The following appeal has been
issued from the office OF the acting
president of the Confederate Memoir
al Association, in Atlanta, GA:
SPY direction OF the late conven-
ton of the United Confederate Veter-
ans, the trustees of the Confeders tie
Memorial Association send forth this
earnest plea for aid in building our
Memorial Temple BATTLE Abbey, in
which shall be gathered relics to tell
to the world, and especially 'our
children's children to the remotest
generations of the valor and deeds
OF our comrades, the soldiers of the
South, and of our noble women, who,
amid unparalleled sacrifices, cheered
and sustained us during the storm of
war; and in which shall also be pre-
served, in archive records, the true
history of our Southland; of her
statesmen; her armies and navy; OF
! her battles, her victories and her
| defeats.
At the last reunion of the Confed-
| crate Veterans, a resolution was
adopted, calling upon each camp to
subscribe to this glorious purpose, in
proportion to it's me m bership. Each
camp of 30 members was asked to
raise not less than So; each camp OF
90 members not less than $40; each
camp OF 100 members, not less than
$50, and each camp of 200 or more
mem bers, not less than $25.
ct was the purpose of our late
president, the late Gen. w. d. Chip
ley, of Florida, to personally super
wise the ingathering of the fund thus
asked for, but his untimely death
prevented.
