New York, Jan. 3.-SiX members OF
one family were killed by flames and
smoke in a fire that occurred in Jer-
sew city. Several were injured, and
it may be that another member OF the
Inflated family will die. 1t is believed
that the fire broke out from heater
in the basement and worked its way
up to the third floor, where the sleep
ing apartments of the family were To-
Gated.
Henry Reich, one of the surviving
members of the family, said it was
late when the family retired, the
evening having been spent in enter
tanning callers. Early in the morning
he was awakened by shouts. Running
into the hall he saw smoke and flames
in the lower hall. His father was
there and they managed to get out OF
the house in their night clothes Young
Reich ran down the street and gave
the alarm. When he returned his
father was nowhere to be seen, but
one of his brothers, Sigmund, was
there, badly burned. He was taken to
a neighboring house where he said
that some one had awakened him and
that he had jumped through the blind
ing smoke and flames down the stair
case and out into the open air.
Several engine companies responded
promptly to the alarm and ten min
uteS later the fire was out. Then be-
gan the search of the house The rays
from the firemen's lanterns disclosed
three charred bodies against the wall
at the foot of the stairs. They were
those of Adolph Reich, his daughter
Trilie and little son Gustav. The
father had fallen upon the daughter
and hi sson was in his arms. They
were burned almost beyond recogni-
ton. In the basement of the house
the searching party stumbled over the
remains of Ida and Albert, two black
ened corpses with arms entwined.
Portions of the limbs had been entire
ly burned away and the faces were
horribly distorted. The mother was
found in the dining room. She was
burned but slightly. She undoubtedly
died from suffocation.

Last year the girls in school in
Brookline, Mass, took lessons in bread
and cake making, while the boys
learned carpentry and carving. This
year the girls are making wooden ia
bles and chairs, but the boys, one day
each week, are taught to malte coffee,
to boil cereals, to broil steaks, to fry
and scrambled eggs, and to make ONE
let's. One boy, while admitting that
the failures were many, remarked that
cooking was much nicer than saving
boards or hammering nails, Cos you
can walk around and talk and taste
all the things" Whatever that cook
ing class may do for the boys, the les
sons in carpentry will do much for the
girls if they teach them to hammer in
a nail without pounding finger nail
or splitting the board, and to set q
screw and saw board without hecom-
ing nervous.

The bulk of England's great ocean
tonnage is made up of what is known
as tramp steamers "-stanch, but slow
freight carriers, economical in main
tenance, which seek cargoes wherever
they are to be found. There may be
much significance in the announce
ment that the first American steamer
of this character is under construction
with the Bath Iron works of Bath, Me.
This vessel is for a New York house.
1t is to be completed next May, and
will at once compete with the foreign
tramp steamers.

1t would seem that one of the chief
cares of schools and colleges would be
that students should learn to speak
correctly. The mental drill that &C.
companies the study of language is in
valuable. Of course, it is easy to say
that there are many things in life more
important than correct speaking. This
is true, but as nation we are old
enough to have acquired not merely
the essentials, but some of the graces
as well. In other words, it is time we
were adding to our common schooling
evidences of culture. And one of the
most indisputable of these is correct
speech.

The Queen Regent of Spain has par
doned the Americans who were taken
from the schooner Competitor in April,
1896, as she was engaged in landing a
military expedition on the Cuban coast.
These men, including the captain, mate
and steward of the schooner and a
newspaper correspondent, were tried
by court martial soon after their cap
ture and sentenced to death. The
United States government INTERVIEWED
to secure for them a trial by the civil
courts, in accordance with our treaties
with Spain. The cases were the sub
ject of protracted diplomatic CORE
spondence and of several debates in
congress. The course of Spain, in set
ting the men free, removes one of the
most serious causes of irritation be-
tween the two countries.
