Up q Church Steeple.

Two riggers in western city few
years ago performed feat that for dar.
ing and steadiness Of nerve equals any.
thing on record.
Repairs We're necessary at the top OF
q very high church steeple There was
no way to reach the spot from the in
side, and the rggers procured a number
of light ladders and lashed them, one
above the other, to the outside of the
steeple. The topmost ladder, however,
was not high enough to enable them tc
reach the desired spot, and as the upper
part of the steeple was too small to per-
NIT the proper lashing TO it Of ladder
a daring expedient was resorted to.
One Of the men, carrying a pot Of
melted solder, climbed from one ladder
to another until he had reached the last
one, and then, bracing himself, he rails
ed an extra ladder that the other rigger
had brought up in his hand and leaned
it against the steeple. Then the man be
low grasped this ladder and held ii
steady while the man above mounted il
to the point where his work was TO be
done. He began the work at once, and
all promised we'll till suddenly he jos
tied the solder pot, and the fiery stuff
ran out and fell over the hands Of the
man who was holding the ladder.
But the brave fellow did not move.
With presence of mind and courage
worthy Of a monument he maintained
a firm hold Of the ladder until his com
panion could come down from his peril

WAR Is INEVITABLE.
This the Word Reported sent to Three
European Cow rnnents.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-It is learned
IRON high diplomatic source that the
representative Of three OF the leading
nations OF Europe here have advised
Their gof erhnents that they regard war
between the United States and Spain as
inevitable, and that open hosilities can
not be postponed longer than two weeks.
Their adyiees are based on information
obtained from Havana as well as from
Washington.
1t is learned that Investigations have
been in quiet progress in Havana
through consular representatives. Of the
governments in question, who, though
acting separately, have reached the
unanimous conclusion that the RESPONSE
bility for the wreck of the Maine lies
very closely at the doors of certain Span
ish officers who were prominently con-
aected with the Weyler regime.
