highway,nan in a desperate duel be-
tween three masked robbers, the po-
liceman and a saloonkeeper at mid

him. Pope seized II revolver from y
shelf and replied. patrolinan Brown
heard the shooting and rushed to the
scene. About q dozen shots were ex-
changed before one of the 5zfobbers
dropped with n bullet through his
chest. His name is James Garrett, of
San Francisco. He has been in Ta-
coma about three weeks. Patrolman
Brown wins wounded in the chin. The
other two men ran out and disap-

and the man cried out as though he
had been shot. The police are securing

FIRE IN WASHINGTON.

Residence of the Chilean Minister
Partly Destroyed.
Washington, Dec. PA fire which
broke out shortly nfter.7 O'clock last
night partly destroyed the house oc-
cupicd by Senior Don Carlos Morla
Yicienna, the Chilean minister, at the
corner of Connecticut avenue and N
street. The roof and top story were
destroyed and the furniture of the
whole house ruined by smoke and wa
ter, entailing a loss of $4,000. The
minister and his family escaped ow-
ing to the energy and GOODNESS of the
12-year-old son, Carlos, but the flames
made such Roadway that the inmates
We're unable to secure clothing and
were compelled to hurry out i'll their
night robes.
All took refuge for a time in the
British embassy, just across the street,
where they were cared for by Lady
Pauncefote and her daughters. Two
maid servants were overcome with
fright and had to be taken from the
house. The govcrness, Signorina Nam
tfredi, received a bad fall in climbing
upstairs in an attempt to secure
clothing for Madame Vicienna.
The fire was caused by an overheat-
ed flue. The house was formerly occu-
pied by Senior Mendonca, the Brazilian
minister.

Origin of New Year. Customs.

New Years customs IN the United
States arc evidently the result Of social
evolution Of that law the scientists call
natural selection and survival Of the 1T
test. In other words, saoh set OF tho
early immigrants brought or devised its
own customs, and those best suited to the
nature Of the country and genius OF the
people have become general, while all 9th
crs have been quietly dropped. It is not
easy to trace the origin OF the Knicker-
booker custom Of gentlemen calling on
their lady friends and taking rpfreshmants,
but 1t is evidently one of the Hslttsst, =. for
1t is becoming national.
Its progress westward and sautAwAsa
can be traoed as certainly As any other %
bal or any political development. and 10
seems subject to a ourious law Of action
md reaction. A western village or sinall
Hity takes nj tho fashion, and It's obssfv-
Rnoe becomes more general every year for
tome time; then 1t falls into disuss for q
Year or two, only to revive again with
more style and more general obser$anoe.
