A SERIOUS FIRE.
The Jim Reedcr Residences Burncd Mon
day Morning - Mise re, der
Pc lshcd In the
Flamcs.

, ~ serious fire occurred in the county
: ON Monday morning about o'clock.
| The residence of the late Jim Rceder,
about nino miles from Ncwberry. with
| all its contents, was totally destroyed.
Miss Fannie Reeder, the only occupant
, of tho house at tho time, was burned to
| death.
Mr.. Brooks Recder was sleeping in
an clubhouse and when the fire was dis
| covered says that the flames were too
far advanced to enter the house. He
broke in the window to his sisters
room with Il chunk of wood, but heard
nothing of her.
Coroner Lindsay was sent for about
10 o'clock Monday and went out to
make an Investigation. He returned
last night, but has not completed the
investigation.
Foul play is suspected and the cti-
zens in the community are somewhat
aroused.
The Coroner could get no direct proof
as to the cause of the fire, but the :esti-
mony brought out at his investigation
leads to the belief that it was the work
Of an inccndiary.
The fire started, or when first dis
covered, the cook room or kitchen was
falling in. and the flames spread rapid
~ to the other parts of the house and
in short time the whole building was
consumed
Among the ruins the skull OF Miss
Rccdcr was found near the door of her
room.
The Coroner will push his invcstiga-
fion and if sufficient proof can be OBJ
'ancd the parties will be brought to
justice.

1t looks very much as if the time was

fiuous, officious and impertinent attempts

seems to have reached that point in New

When Senator Cook made his attack
on the civil service law, he criticised
the methods of examination One of the
absurdities given as horrible example
was this: IF you had to carry 500
bricks 1000 feet, how would you carry
them?-in a hod,. a barrel or a wheel
barrow?" Charles Theodore Russell,
chairman of the state civil service COM
mission, writes to say that so far as he
can find out, no such question was ever
asked in the examination of candidate
as mason. No questions of any kind are
put to masons, who are regarded as la
borers, and these simply file a sworn
statement as to good character and ca
pacity. Foremen, indeed, must pass an
examination, but the only question re-
lating to bricks is simple one in math-
ematics, and a man who could not an
sWer it would hardly make a trust
worthy foreman. Mr. Cook, like most
others who have proclaimed screaming
absurdities in civil service examinations.
seems to have been buncoed. These
critics have been taken in by glazing
glittering, gaudy frauds that make the
world stare in amazement at mans
credulity.

Five persons killed and two injured
in three days, is the record of elevator
traffic in New York city proper. 1t is
an average that puts dead mans curve
and Brooklyn trolley lines quite in the
shade as destroyers of human life 1t
is not surprising, therefore, that the in
quiry is made, If this mortality is be-
yond prevention. There are 2400 pass
enger elevators recorded with the au-
thorities, but how many are not record
ed is matter Of guesswork. There are
seven men to inspect them all, and they
make their rounds on an average of
once in three months Freight eleva-
tors in factories are inspected by state
officers. but those in hotels and business
blocks are not inspected by anybody,
and there is no provision for inside doors
or safety appliances Of any sort. There
is some talk, both in New York and
in Albany, of putting the elevator serv-
ice under the control Of a special bu-
reau, and this proposition will appeal
to a certain class of politicians, because
it will provide for more offices, the sup
ply of which seems long ago to have
fallen far below the demand. AS a
matter Of fact, the elevator business,

The assertion that the artillery Of the
state militia is so old-fashioned as to be
useless is nothing new, but it is now
made the ground for asking the legisla-
ture for an investigation of the entire
militia system. The batteries are
equipped with guns that were discarded
by the regular army thirty years ago,
and the drill required is a mixture of
old methods and the new, so that in &C
tual service the men could have but
scant knowledge of the pieces they
might be required to serve at short no
tice-if there are any in the country
with which to equip them. 1t is pre-
sumed that the investigation, if or
dered, will result in a proper equipment
Of a modern and serviceable sort. To
this extent, az any rate, it may be said
that an investigation is not unreason-
able. What is the use Of maintaining a
militia, If it can have no arms that
would be of use in actual service?

The Hon. BILLY" Mason, senator
from the great commonwealth of Hi
nois, has stopped over again. That seems
to be his most successful "act' as a
member of the United States senate.
He is the first of all members of con-
gress to break the decorum which has
hitherto characterized the entire people
during the excitement of the past few
days. 1t is very gratifying to record
that there were senators present who
had the courage and the wisdom to re-
buke the Chicago buffoon as he de-
served, and that New England and
especially Massachusetts should have
taken prominent part in the correc-
ton. His assault upon the navy was
unworthy of a representative of the
people.

The retirement Of Charles Eliot Nor
ton from the chair of the history of
art at Harvard, will remove about the
last of the older and the great profess
ors who have exerted a strong and
broad personal influence over the stu
dents, such as used to be more COM
mon when the college was smaller. 1t
used to be said that one of Prof. Nor
tons art courses was as good as an en-
tire college curriculum, for there were
few departments in human activities
that he did not bring into his work at
one period or another. His aim was
to be philosophical rather than techni-
cal, but it was to his polish and culture
and the force and charm Of his own
personality, that he owed his great in
f1uence.

and sterling character of the young ath-
lete, who had begun in lowly station to
work his way up to one of responsible

ness, are the factors that have led to
thus honoring one who otherwise might
have been rated as a comparatively OBJ
scure young man. He had done nothing
since leaving college to make his name
conspicuous, and he seemed no more
likely than perhaps a score Of recent
graduates to receive the honors that
have been awarded to him.

The question of government aid for
the families of the men who persisted
on the Maine, has been suggested with
obvious propriety. These men lost their
lives in the service of the government
as truly as if they had fallen in battle,
and the manner of their death does not
relieve the government Of it's obligation
to those who were dependent upon them.
If precedent counts for anything, these
should be and doubtless will be provided
for by the government bounty.

If the Havanese authorities should in
sist that Spanish divers accompany

within its rights, as well as with
in the bounds of reason. The con-
