IRON BUILDINGS ON FIRE.
A Practical Answer to y Much-Dis-
puted Question Lately Given
in Chicago.

1t has long been matter of specula-
tion how steel and iron buildings would
withstand the effect of u serious fire.
At the recent burning of the ShOene-
man building in Chicago, a new steel
frame building, having iron wrought
pillars and steel girders and beams. n
practical test Of the question was af-
forded. The building was seven stories
in height and atjoined the Old Colony
building, II stories high, on the north.
and the Manhattan building, Of 16
stories, on the south. The wall be-
tween the Shoeneman and the Manhat-
tan buildings was party structure.
When the burned building collapsed
it pulled the party wall one inch and
q half out Of plumb where the greatest
strain was exerted; but otherwise the
Manhattan building suffered no injury
from heat or fire, except that some win
dow castings were burned and so or 60
windows were broken. The effect in
the Old Colony building was even less,
according to the report. The Manhat-
tan building was erected In 1890 at an
expense of 100000. The Old Colony
building to the other side Of the burned
structure was erected in 1891 at cost
of 5000, 1000, and was the tallest building
put up in that year. The same archi.
tect did not plan the two structures,
and there Is no claim, therefore, that
the test made by the recent fire should
be construed as favorable to any class
OF architecture Oh to the plan Of any In.
dividual architect. The report Of tho
condition Of the Old Colony building
limits the exterior damage to two terra
Gotta Intel coverings, several window
stills, and plate glass. The supporting
steel columns In the south wall were
protected by heavy brick wall and by
hollow tiles. A like report Is made Of
the Manhattan building.-N. Y. Sun.

CATHOLIC CHURCH NOTES.

English Catholics are hoping that the
new Westminster cathedral Will be fin
ished in time 30 that within Its walls
may be celebrated the fftieth anniver-
sary OF the establishment of the Cath
olic hierarchy in England. This event
occurred on September 20, 1850.
bishop Harkins, Of Providence, has
donated Q burial place for Catholic SOL
diers in st. Francis cemetery, and 1t is
now proposed to erect n suitable monu-
ment on this lot, proposal which the
bishop warmly encourages. To secure
funds for the monument, lecture by
Archbishop Ireland Is contemplated.
The monument, II Is estimated. will cost
$4,000.
The wcll-known Maestro. Gaetano Co
pocci. died in Rome recently at the age
Of SO. He was taken i'll on st. Johns
day. while conducting vespers at st.
John Lateran. of which basilica he had
been maestro since 1854. His death will
be much regretted, for he was still Wig
orous. His compositions are very much
admired In Rome, and he has been for
many years most familiar figure Mt
ecclesiastical functions.
The United States Catholic Historical
society was organized in New York re-
Gently. Archbishop Corrigan presided
The membership is made up OF Catholic
clergy and laymen, including well
known writers and theologians The
object is TO publish historical matter
and biographical sketches of Catholics

sionnry work, together with portraits,

THE HOME sEAvTiFUL

The heavy. art linens In colors Of 10
day furnish beautiful and durable
grounds for embroidered wall hangings
and framed panels. Such embroideries
may be handed down. like those Of
medieval times. - heirlooms n pos.
terity.
A new field IN decoration will be
opened up by tho invention Of liquid
paints, which, II II claimed. are imper-
vious TO the influence Of lightly and air,
and will bear frequent washingy These
paints. styled 'Helios," arc not yet in
troduced into this country.
"Helios" will be invaluable to the
decorative workers in household art,
because they take beautifully on linen,
bottom. silk and wool. By associating
these liquid colors with embroidery, not
only mny fine effects be obtained, but
much time saved.
\ field for embroidery which attracts
but little attention In view OF its ease
and Importance, is the working Of wall
hangings. Many years ago young wom-
en- spent great time and labor in exc
cutting Berlin wool pictures for the
wall. To-day truly artistic effects are
TO be obtained by the working Of wall
decorations to be hung up bannerwisc.
A handsome wall hanging is of heavy
ecru linen, wrought with a design Of an
ancient galley with emblazoned sail,
riding the waves. The waves are shown
In the stifily conventional equi-distant
curved lines shown in very ancient
wave-drawings. The galley and waves
are wrought In stem stitch and run
ming stitches. The colors employed are
shades OF green. dark cyprus red, olives
and dull citron yellows.-Ladies' World.

with him in an animated conversation

Catarrh.

Catarrh is one Of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid Of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
ciflo cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force 1t from the blood.

Our Export Trade.

The latest bulletin of the treasury de- partment covers the month of July. It shows the exports of manufactures in that month. The country sent out goods to the value of $25 ,9S3, ,0O0, thus making the month a record July in the volume of business, pcrcentage 4fe4fa o4fe qRth Atttogetnsn Ut dg in the abroad. Manufactured goods rose in July 10 96 per cent. of the total exports. Ten years ago the July exports of manufactures were S11 ,5590OO, or less than half those of last July; and the most gratifying fact is the constantly rising percentage of man. ufactures in our export trade.
 The increase includes wide variety of goods. We sent more agricultural imple- ments to Great Britain, British North America, France, Argentina and British Australia. More cars and carriages were sent to many countries Africa doubling her percentages. The exports of cotton cloth in July amounted to 37,474,0n yards, against 2S,6S5, ,165 yards in July. 1897. The increase to China alone exceeded 6,O)O0.0 0 yards. The exports of iron and steel show a remarkable increase, aggregating $,o12,- SIT, against $4,91S, ,1O7 in July of last year. Some of this went in the form of pig iron, but more of it in the forms of wire nails, cut nails, steel plates and sheets, bars or rods of steel and wire
 The steady and yet rapid gains in manufactured exports go to show that the United States, considered as whole, is becoming one of the three great factories of the world, the other two being Great Britain and Germany All three are racial ly connected, and the chances are very good that the three Germanic nations will soon do nearly all of the worlds manufac- turing that is not done where the goods are consumed.

Willis Gaylord Clark.

Eeu lives have been better filled with useful. honorable work than was the Aie of this distinguished citizen of Alabama lie labored in various capacities for the good of the state and for the good of it's people noarlv half a century. His pen was al- vavs ready. To him largely belongs the credit for the inauguration of a puoho school system in the state. He was COIL nected with the management of the schools of Mobile county very many years; and in 1Sse he became a trustee for the Univer- sitv of Alabama. The work he did in be- half of the university is perhaps his chief monument.
 In all respects he was an intelligent cltl- zen and leader of opinion. He served the state faithfully thoughout the 'reconstruc- ton" period but he held no political office until President Cleveland made him col lector of the port of Mobile. He afterwards served as a railroad commissioner.
 His life was one of activity, almost up to the hour of his death Conscientious in every relation of life, and honorable in all his actions, his career Is one that young men should study and adapt to themselves. ful, more earnest or more useful citizen.

ACTIVE "JOE" WHEELER

From the Chicago Journal.
 Anybody who has seen Fighting Joe' Wheeler knows that his movements closely resemble those of flea. He will be in one place, and the next instant he will be 100 feet away, and scarcely be seen en route.
 From Washington floats in a story which plays upon this characteristic of the war hero and congressman.
 A group of members of the house were discussing the way in which the old mem- bers were dying off. One death after an- other was cited, and it was agreed that a new set of men-the Baileys ct al.-were coming in to take the place of the old wheel horses.
 Just then a streak of black appeared alongside the little knot of men. They looked after it, and saw that it was Gen. eral Wheeler, dashing along at his accus- toned pace.
 Well said one, there's Joe Wheeler He seems to hang on pretty well.'
 'Ya-as," said Speaker Reed, with his in- imitable drawl, "the reason he hangs on Is that he goes so fast death can't catch him."

Sexton would be ineligible. His declara- tions since his designation as a commits sioner show what may be expected from the majority of the commission. The mi nority report will be pooh-poohed, and the majority report will be showed out by Elec- tion Manager Hanna as a vindication of Secretary Alger and the administration. There are, however, two things in the way of the scheme-the whole thing may break down from it's own absurdity, and if It does not the people may see how trans parent an ante-electlon jolly is.
 The commission, as it stands consists of General G. M. Dodge, of Iowa; Colonel J. A. Sexton, of Illinois; Governor U. A. Woodberry, of Vermont General A. D. Me Cook, of New York; Governor J. A. Beaver, of Pennsylvania; Dr. P. H. Conner, or Cincinnati-all republicans; Captain E. IT, Howell, of Atlanta; General J. M. Wilson, of the regular army, and ex-Minister Dem by. of Indiana. MT. Denby was formerly democrat, and Captain Howell certainly IS a democrat. General Wilson, like most regular army men, probable is without marty affiliations. But Messrs. Howell, Denby and Wilson may be able to locate some of the blunders of Algerisn, and II
 they do, they will surely report them'
