A ROYAL Martyr to Etluustts.

In Spain the etiquette to be observed in
the royal palaces was carried TO such length
as to make martyrs of their kings There
Is q historic instance. Philip III was
grayely seated by the FIRE. The flremaker
of the court had kindled so great guam
tity of wood that the monarch was nearly
suffocated with heat, and his grandeur
would not suffer him to rise from the
chair. The domestics could not presume
to enter the apartment because it was
against the etiquette, At length the Mar
quls do Totat appeared, and the king or
dered him to damp the fires, but he ex-
cused himself, alleging that he was forbid
den by the etiquette to perform such func-
ton, for which the Due Usseda ought
to be called upon, as 1t was his business.
The duke was gone out. The FIRE burned
fiercer, and the king endured it rather than
derogate from his dignity. But his blood
was heated to such degree that he was
seriously III the next day. A violent fever
succeeded which carried him off in the
twenty fourth year of his age.-London

Cold Storage Holocaust.
CHICAGO, March l6.-It required
just twenty minutes this afternoon
Tor one OF the most savage fires
Chicago has seen since the famous
cold storage warehouse fire on the
Worlds Fair grounds in 1893 to take
anywhere from five to fifteen lives,
main thirty people and reduce a
siX-story brick building to a pile of
blazing timbers, rCd-hot bricks and
twisted iron.
The number of dead is still in
doubt, and probably will not be
definitely known until the debris of
the building is sufficiently cooled
to admit of search being made for
the bodies of those who are I'M
doubleday in the ruins.
The building was six stories high,
had frontage of SO feet on Wlrbash
avenue and extended back 100 feet
to an alley.
The building was occupied by a
number of concerns, some of them
employing large numbers of people.
1t is estimated that 400 people were
at work in the building when the
fire was discovered. The origin oil
the fire is in dispute. By some it is
said to have been caused by an eX-
plosion of collodion in the wall pa.

CAPTAIN JACKS RIFLE.
The National Museum Has the Weapon
With Which Candy Was Killed.

With Which Candy Was Killed.
One of the most interesting relics which
has been presented to the National museum
for long time is the rifle which Captain
Jack, the notorious Modoc Indian, used
in his fight in the lava beds of southern
California, and it is thought to be the
identical weapon with which General
Candy was murdered while holding par
ley with the chief under flag Of truce
The rifle was cached in the lava beds
during the Modoc war, or Just before the
capture of Captain Jack. 1t was brought
out by Modoc Joe in the fall of 1896 and
presented to Charles Pitt, the Indian in
terpreter of Warm Springs, Or. BY him
it was given to NJ. G. Davis, special ex-
amlner of the pension bureau, and sent by
him here from Warm Springs.
The weapon is still in a fair state of
preservation, and is of rather unusual
form. 1t has two barrels so arranged that
they can reyolve one being under the 9th
er when ready to fire, one stock with trlg-
ger and hammer doing work for the two.
The clamp apparatus has been broken, so
that the barrels reyolve now and could not
be fred on this account The ball used
to fit the barrel is of about half an ounce,
The barrels are heavily rned, and the
weapon is evidently capable of doing great
execution. The barrels are unusually long,
and the whole must weigh l6 or Is pounds.
In the stock, now minus paint as il
gripped often by the iron fingers of the
coffee colored desperate, is cavity, over
which is brass lid. In the box thus
formed were kept the "patcbes" and
grease, the former to make the bullets fit
closely in the barrel and the grease to put
on them, so they could slide easily down
the cavity. The rifle is a little rusty, but
not nearly as much so as might be expect
ed from its long exposure.
Engraved on one side of the barrel il
the name of the maker, John Shuler Of
Liverpool, Pa. The weapon is regarded
as an object of great curiosity. 1t has not
yet been placed on exhibition. Washing
