Cause of the Fatal Fire In New
York.
REVENGE WAS THE MOTIVE
AROSE OUT OF QUARREL AMONG
THE SERVANTS.
Police Got Clues Through Number
of Anonymous Letters Written
Threats Made That Violence
Would Be Done to Members of
the Andrews Family.

New York, April S.-Despite reticence
on the part of the police facts became
public today which made it apparent
that the fire which destroyed thirteen
persons yesterday was of an incendiary
origin. 1t transpires that a few hours
before the flames We're seen a police
man was sent for from the Andrews
house, and was mysteriously dismissed
by a servant, who said he was not
wanted.
Letters threatening the lives of the
Andrews family and the children of
Mrs. st. John were found. 1t is believed
the motive for incendiarism was re-
Venge, and that the affair arose out Of
a quarrel among the servants. Foley,
the butler in the Andrews family. is I'M
der surveillance, and the police are hard
at work investigating clues which
chiefly rest upon the anonymous let
tiers.
Mary Flanagan, the dead maid SER
want, seems to have been a central hg-
ure in this alleged plot, and the chief
object of the supposed perpetrators
was hate. The police today gave out
three scurrilouS letters which had been
sent to members of the Andrews house
hold. One was addressed to the servant,
Mary Flanagan. The letters made
charges against Mary Flanagan ana
the butler. In letter addressed to Mrs.
st. John the writer said:
II hope you and Mrs. Andrews don't
think for one moment that am recon-
ciled or pacified with Mary Flanagan,
for indeed L am not, and what is fur
ther, 1 will not be until. I get my re-
venge. 1 feel that have given warn
ing enough, and L am going to fix her
for life, and because you and Mrs. An
drews did not give heed to warnings
1 am going to fix you, too. I'm going
to make some one throw something in
your nurses and children's faces that
will disfigure them and eat all the
flesh off the bone. This I will do for
spite, because you did not let Mary go
as told you to. You had just as well
let her go first as last. You will have
no girl alive when 1 get through with
her."

ed that alcohol is not a poison, but a
food. But this definition must be clear
ly understood. One kind of food builds
up the body, another kind of food sup
plies it with warmth and energy. Such
are the fats, starches and sugar Alco-
hol does not build up, but serves as a
fuel. The most careful experiments
showed this beyond dispute.
Alcohol cannot, therefore, be called
poison, any more than hydrochloric
acid, which is formed in the stomach
and is necessary 10 digestion, may be
called poison, because it kills when
taken in large doses. Peptone is also
poison in the same sense. Alcohol,
like these other substances, if taken
in quantities will kill, but it does not
kill when used, as it should be used.

The experiments made in this mat
ter have been very costly, and with no
other object than that of ascertaining
the truth, and the truth only.
The Outlook says that Prof. Atwater
should be commended for putting tenn
perance reform on a basis of truth, and
in making clear what the true function
Of alcohol is. The temperance re-
formers have now for half a century

the children should be taught the truth
about it, and that the text books in
the schools should be corrected. There
is nothing that demOralizes a child so
quickly as the discovery that the parent
or teacher has made a statement which
is not true, although it is done with
out intent to misrepresent. When the
child is taught that alcohol is a dan

guard in the use of it. The temperance

The Outlook has taken a position on
the temperance question, which rouses
the indignation of the temperance re-

the food question have been so widely
read during the last ten years, has been

by several other distinguished chemists
and scientists. The plan adopted is to
keep a man in room, which has been
especially prepared for the purpose,
and he is fed and cared for with all of
the accurate knowledge that science
can command. Everything connected
with food, and its effects on the body
are noted, and weights, measurements
and analyses carefully made, so that
there is no guess work. All that scien-

In the meantime, the most eventful
trial of the century continues at Rem

hundred millions of people, listen to

drama since Joan of Arc stood before
her judges, behind whom were the

ask why has this common man, with
out rank or friends, been taken from
a cell, on distant island, in which he
was tortured for four years, and re-
luctantly brought back and placed be-

FRENCH JUSTICE

The trial of Dreyfus before a court
martial shows the singular difference
between the Jurisprudence of France
and the AnglO-SaxOn countries. In the
latter countries, a witness is required
to state facts within his personal
knowledge, and his opinions are rigidly
excluded. me judge and jury only
may express their opinions about the
facts. The Dreyfus case shows that
the witnesses are permitted TO make
stump speeches, argue the case, strike
attitudes, and make a sensation. When
M Casimir- Perier, a late President of
the Republic, was sworn as a witness,
instead of answering the questions
which were put to him, according to
the practice OF the Anglo-Saxon courts,
he exclaimed in loud voice Mon
sieur lie Presidente, you ask me to
speak the truth, and all the truth.

able conviction that / know nothing

This voluble, dramatic effusion would
be checked by the judge in an Anglo
Saxon court by tn eorder, Witness,
answer questions and don't make
speeches.
Gen. MERCER was allowed when a
witness, to harangue the court, and
state that he believed that Dreyfus was
guilty. This, if uttered in an American
court room, would have been regarded
as utterly irregular and inadmissible.
AT the same time it may be true as
the Frenchmen claim, that justice is
secured as we'll in the French courts
as it is IN the AnglO-SaXon courts.
The Dreyfusards are disappointed
because Dreyfus is not more dramatic
while on trial They believe in effects,
attitudes and gestures. These have a
moral significance to the Latin mind.
The Dreyfusards know that Dreyfus
has been so debilitated by persecution
that he cannot rise to the occasion.
