70 SUPERSTITION.
TIE HUMAN SACRIFICES OF THE
NINETEENTH CENTURY.

It was the custom of the ancient
Britons to honor Wooden with a gigan-
tic holocaust. A huge figure, bearing
the rude outlines of a man, was fash
toned of wicker work, and into this
figure were thrust the struggling forms
of men and women. Then the priests
applied fire to the structure and the
miserable victims of human supersti-
ton were roasted to death. We shud-
der as we think OF such barbarism.
We give thanks that we live in the
nineteenth century and in free Amer
lea. And yet, in this free land, super
stition has it's votaries and its victims.
Statistics prove that each year one
sixth of all the men and ONE who
die are victims of a disease popularity
regarded as in~curable-the dread dis
base, consumption. 1t would be absurd
to deny that in certain stages the VIC
Tim OF consumption is beyond the help
of the scientific knowledge OF the pres
ent day, though every year science
grows stronger to aid the consumptive.
It is equally absurd to deny that there
Is abundant evidence that bronchitis,
obstinate, lingering cough, bleeding OF
the lungs, and conditions in general
which terminate in consumption, are

IN Two Tenenent House Fires II
New York EARLY Yesterday Nora

Ing.
NEW YORK. December Is.-Seven
lives were lost in two big tenement
houses which were destroyed by IRE
in this city early to-day. Five charfed
bodies were found on the upper floors
of the burned tenement at One Hun
dred and Second street and Third ave-
nue., known as the Mentor, and five
woman and a little girl. all badly
burned, were carried from the blazing
house to nearby hospitals. There is
thought to be but slight chance of any
of the six surviving. Several other
persons only escaped from the flames
and dense smoke with cuts and bruises.
A few hours earlier a deadly fire at
tackled the fve-story tenement on
Tenth avenue, buring to death Mrs.
Martin Fox and her child, George, two
and a half years old. The charred re-
mains of both were found after the
fire.
Nj. Fox is a hackman and was not
at home.
The first fire is supposed to have
started in the cellar. The air shaft in
the building and the stairs aided the
fire in gaining such rapid Roadway that
there was no successful fighting of the
flames, which had gained tremendous

building was occupied by a liquor store
on the first floor and on the upper
floors by families. When the fire was
discovered by a man named Ward the
flames were coming out of the hallway.
Ward could not enter the hall because
of the fire and he ran into the street
and threw stones at the windows.
There were no fire escapes on the front
of the building. Presently Ward saw
at the fourth floor window a woman
hanging on the ledge, the fire having
already invaded her rooms. She prov
ed to be Della O'Connell. Her sister
was also climbing out of the window
and she had already been severely
burned and half snffocated by the
smoke.
Both women were hanging from the
window ledge when a hook and ladder
truck came up. The men at once put
UP scaling and extension ladders and
firemen climbed up. At the fourth
floor another woman, Mrs. Susan c.
McAdee, 60 years old, was found partly
burned and dazed by the smoke, hang
ing out of a window.
The firemen tied a rope around Mrs.
McAdee and let her safely down.
Three fremen caught the O'Connell
women in their arms, not an instant
too soon. Both were badly burned
about the body.
BY this time more women and men
were found at the windows, having
been driven out Of their rooms by the
flames. A few of the people escaped
by the rear, where there were fire es-
capes.
Hook and Ladder Captain Turpenny
scaled a ladder to the top floor and
there found little Mary Barrett, hold
ing on the the window ledge. A sheet
of flame had struck her in the eyes and
burned them out.
Her father, mother and little sister
were burned to death. The doctors
say she cannot live.
Mary Seary was found at one OF the
upper floor windows crouching in a
r too suffocated by smoke and
too much burned to be able to help
herself.

The Operation of the Campagnie du
Soleo of Paris, France, at Santa Rosa
liza, on the gulf coast of Lower Califor-
MIA, are among the largest mining en-
terprises in the world. The mines lie
within circuit of about 10 miles from
the town, and the ores, chiefly pyrite-
Gus in nature, are often rich in native
copper. Ore is being extracted from
eight or ten different shafts at present.
Santa Rosalia is city of some 10000
people, with electric lights, schools,

round about is desolate i'm the extreme

locality was brought distance of 35
miles at heavy expense. The company
owns ten square miles of territory, and
the mines seem inexhaustible, growing
in richness with development. At the
great smelters in Santa Rosalia copper
is produced in black pigs that run 81

to Europe, and runs from rs to IS per

TO DRAFT NEW SPANISH TREATY.
Negotiations VIII Soon BE Opened MT
| MnLriL by Minister Storer.

WASHINGTON Oct. 29.-An understand
ing has been reached by which it is expected
that negotiations will be opened soon at
Madrid for new treaty between the United
States and Spain. This will be the last
step toward completely restoring the friendly
relations between the countries.
The war with Spain swept the old treaty
out of existence and the only international
agreement in existence is the peace treaty,
which is confined to the events growing
out of the war, has no reference to com
merce, navigation, extradition and other
manifold relations between nations in times
of peace. The coming negotiations will
be for the purpose of forming such treaty
of commerce, amity and friendship.
Both sides expect that the new treaty will
be a great Improvement on the old one,
which was an antiquated document dating
back to 1895, with many of its provisions
devoted to the boundary between Florida,
then possession of Spain, and the United
States. Save fer the Cushing protocol it
had been impossible to frame new treaty
satisfactory to both sides. and it remained
for the war to dispose of it and thus open
the way for a modern treaty
1t had been thought that the Due d'Arcos
would conduct these negotiations with the
State department here, but the minister ie
rather relieved at the understanding that
the work will be carried on at Madrid The
United States minister there, Bellamy Storer,
Will act for the United States
