CINCINNATI, Jan. 20.-The Sherwood
House, on the east side of Walnut
above Sixth, took fire probably from an
overheated furnace and in a very brief
time the house was so filed with smoke
as to endanger the lives of the 60 or
more sleeping guests. Many of the
guests were members of theatrical
companies. Very soon the upper corri-
dors were filed with shrieking hys.
terical women in night robes. The
male guests had difficulty in restrain.
ing the women from jumping from the
windows.
The firemen were active IN carrying

rescued by the stairway, but several
were taken down by the ladders and by
the fire escape. f. II. Munich, travel.

MEME, THE ESKIMO BOY.

that It made many friends for him, and
when, last spring, 1t was planned to
break up the little band, two or three
of whom were to return north with
Lieutenant Peary, Mr.. Wallace of the
museum expressed his desire to take
Meme into his family and bring him up
with his own son, who is two years old
er than the little Eskimo.
This project was put into effect at
once. and Mene-"Mene Wallace" as he
calls hmself-has enjoyed the advan-
tages of that home ever since. He has
not been legally adopted. but Morris K.
Jesup, the president Of the museum,
who is very much interested in the boy,
Is rather anxious that he should be, and
Mr.. Wallace says that 1t will probably
be done in the course of time.
Mrs. Wallace has taken the deepest
interest in assuming charge of the little
protege from the north, and to her Is
due much of the credit for the remark
able rapidity with which he has devel-
oped in every way since he entered her
household. 1t Is pretty safe to say that
there is no better behaved 9-year-old
boy of any nationality than Meme Is to-
day.
Mene's days are well occupied, for be-
sides his regular attendance at a pub
lie school he has private tutor. This
is in order to help him on as rapidly as
possible in his study OF English and
thus enable him to keep up with his
class.
His manner of talking Is still. of
course, broken and faulty. Occasional
ly. when he attempts long explanations.
II is a little unintelliglble, but, as q
matter of fact, he can almost always
make himself understood and is i'm
proving daily with wonderful speed. He
pronounces his English words correctly,
without any popularity of accent. He
still remembers most of the Eskimo
words that he knew In his northern
home. but he shows signs of forgetting
them unless he Is made to repeat them
frequently.
DIR. Boas and one or two other stu
dents of the Eskimo tongue often get
the boy to talk with them and endeav-
or to learn from him something about
the almost unknown language of his
race.
Meme is of average height for his age
and Is stockily built. He is exception
ally strong in his muscular develop
ment and In wrestling can easily van
| qulsh much larger boys than himself.
His face Is broad. with high cheek
bones, and his brown eyes are set a
trifie obliquely, as In the Mongolian
| type of countenance. A healthy red
glows through the dark skin on his
| plump cheeks. and he has entirely re-
covered from the sickness which he as
well as the others suffered last winter.
His hair Is straight. black and rather
coarse. His expression has gained won
derfully in intelligence within the last
year.
In his play hours he Is like any other
healthy, happy boy. and he enjoys thf
same amusements as his constant COM
rada. Willie Wallace. They have bicy-
cles and a pony, which they drive to q
little cart. and skating Ii a favortte
sport with them at this season.
What kind OF a man he IL going tc
be when he grows up and whether oil
not he can adapt his Eskimo intellect

PALACE OF CORN.
How the Maize Propaganda VIII BE
Pushed at the Paris Exposition.

One of the most unique and striking
features of the American exhibit at the
Paris exposition Of 1900 will be the corn
palace. which it Is proposed to build.
This will have for a tower a gigantic
ear of corn, and the architecture gem
orally will suggest the great American
product.
The purpose OF this elaborate corn
exhibit viii be to introduce corn TO
Europeans In a manner which they will
not easily forget. Few Of the peoples
of the continent know anything about
the food possibilities of Indian corn.
They need educating. For several years
the American maize propaganda has
been represented in Europe by corn
meal missionaries, who have tried to
demonstrate the virtues and economy
of corn as a food, but this will be q
climax to their efforts.
The plan, so far as developed, Is to
have every useful article manufactured

Major General Brooke Not In Favor Of

HAVANA. Jan. 2l.-Major General
Brooke, the governor general, made
recommendations to Washington, it is
understood here, against the collection
of taxes by the Banoo Espanol in Cuba,
and he is giving his attention to the
matter Of taxes due since Jan. /. This
question Of collection of back taxes by
the Spanish bank is daily gaining in
importance, on account of the opposl.

The bank is distrusted and disliked
by Cubans, because for generations the
institution was Spain's agent on forcing

bered thousands each Sunday, and
many more thousands have read his
sermons as regularly as the Monday
paper came.
DR.. Hills has been called "the poet
preacher of the century end" He is
about 40 years old He was born in
Iowa, but comes of Puritan stock. His
father was a deacon in the church OF
Lyman Beecher, and when that great
leader left Presbyterianism he left II
too. The elder Hills was one of the
Yale band which went from Ohio to
Iowa. There he prospered until middle
life, when a fire left him almost penn-
less. So Newell Hills began life as
poor boy. He was brought up on the
doctrines OF Henry Ward Beecher,
though, for out on the prairles the
printed sermons of the great Plymouth
divine were read every week.
When DR.. Hills was 10, he was ap-
pointed Sunday school missionary. He
was so successful that the Congrega-
tional society sent him to Lake Forest
college and Mccormick seminary, where
he studied for three years.
For three years after leaving his the
illogical studies he was pastor of the
First Presbyterian church Of Peoria,
Ills. Within that time he built a new
church at a cost of S5O,00O From 1890
to 1894 he preached from the pulpit of
the First church in Evanston. where he
likewise upreared new church build
ing. In December, 1894, he succeeded
Professor Swing at Central church. The
new pastor of Plymouth will preach in
Brooklyn the same creed he has preach
ed in Chicago. 1t is the creed Of broad
est Christianity and humanity. DR.. Hill
lis, like his predecessors OF Plymouth
and Central churches, is writer. The
four books he has published are widely
read. They are "Foretokens Of Immor-
tality," How the Inner Light Failed"
"a Mans Value to Society" and THE
Investment of Influence"
