A NEW YORK FIRE.

Two seyen-story Buildings Were De-
stroyed-Firemen Injured.
New York, Jan. 1.-The two seven
story buildings at 425 to 435 East
Twenty fourth street. occupied princi-
pally by the wallpaper factory of Will
liam Campbell g. Co., were destroyed
by fire tonight. The loss is fully
$5o0.0o0. The plant Of the New York
Hygienic Ice Company, which occu-
pied the basement Of 425, and that of
the Manhattan Electric Light Com
pany, on the first and second floors OF
the same building, were totally de-
stroyed. A large portion of the east
side gets its lights from that company,
and was, on account of the fire, cast
into complete darkness. The Campbell
company employed 400 hands, who
will be thrown out of work by the fire.
The properties OF all three firms are de-
stroyed beyond the hope of saving a
dollars worth. The losses are partly
covered by insurance.
Three hook-and- ladder men, Andrew
Degnan, Joseph Shaughnessy and JOS
eph Bessinger, were caught on the sixth
floor ot..the building, and escaped with
great difficulty. All were severely
burned. Shaughnessy and Bessinger
were sent to Bellevue hospital. The
other hook-and-ladder men were caught
on one of the high window ledges, with
the flames roaring all around them and
the dense smoke making them almost
imperceptible from the street. Exten-
sion ladders were run and firemen
brought them down in an almost un-
conscious condition. One of the men,
Lee Potter, was very severely burned,
and was sent to Bellevue hospital.

The coal destined for Hawaii Is chiefly
for use Of the sugar plantations, but
the diversion of the supply from this

a consequent increase in price.

made to lay, but it takes several days to
do it, and it was Good Friday before Aus
tin gave up all hope of their beginning
and then it was quite too late to do any
thing in the forcing line.
He went out to the hen house to feed
them early Saturday morning, and said
to them-he had a way of talking to
dumb beasts, as if they could understand:
81 don't see why you should stop laying
eggs just at this time, when we want
them more than ever"
AS he spoke he heard a rustling in the
straw and saw two pink eyes looking at
him Then two long ears were cooked at
him, and a rabbit hoped boldly out and
laughed at him. Yes. actually laughed at
him. The hens did not seem to fear this

The Siwash is a strange animal. He is
by no means a bad Indian. He is not
boisterously happy, but the little happiness
that is his he must have. Ee will live and
thrive and grow on a glacier Shut up in
a warm, dark cell, he will droop and pine
and die. He did not kill, partly because
he is not vicious, but mainly because there
is no one in his country worth killing
He was good as certain homely, unat-
tractiVe white folks are. having no temp
tation. But when the discoveries of gold
on the Klondike brought the prospector
with horses and cattle, picks and pans
he was tempted beyond his ability to
withstand.
The first outrage occurred when half a
dozen Indians saw couple of miners with
a dazzling outfit. They followed the pros
pectOrs, and when they came to what ap-
ptdl Gu 10 Dt an OIpOIluilS place, SET upon
them. One of the men was murdered. the
other escaped and the story of his hard
ships written out, would read like the
widest bit of fiction. After days on lakes
and rivers, and along an unknown trail
he found help and was nursed back to
life.
The Indians, being anna tours, were cas-
lily found out. They were arrested tried
and sentenced TO be hanged at Dawson.
The day of the execution was fixed
some months ahead, and before the day
arrived one of the Indians, mere boy,
died. Just a few days before the hanging
was to take place, the sheriff discovered
that the day was Good Friday, and. by
some unknown mode OF reasoning. per-
suaded himself that the Indians could not
be hanged on Good Friday. The local
judge thought otherwise, but the sheriff
would not agree, and 80 the matter was
referred to the minister a ottawa.

THE RABBITS EASTER EGGS.

Copyright. 1900 by Charles Battell
Loomis,)
Austin Mckenzie had two sisters both
of them as pretty as Easter lilies and al
most as white, which was strange, as
they lived in the country and spent good
deal of time out doors.
Austin had spent an Easter vacation in
the city, and when he came home he gave
the girls such a vivid account of the dec
Grated eggs and the papier mache rabbits
and all the other Easter favors that can
be seen in the shops that they were wild
to have him decorate some eggs for them
when next Easter should come.
Mr. Mckenzie owned a score of hens of
various breeds, and Austin, who could
draw and paint, asked him whether he
could have all the eggs that were laid
the week before Easter, so that he might
decorate them, and Mr., Mckenzie readily
consented, as he was proud of his boys
talent.
Austin counted on about a hundred
eggs. but, to his dismay, the hens stopped
laying just one week before Easter Now,
April is the greatest month of the year
for eggs, and this action on the part Of
the hens was quite unaccount able, and in
the minds of Marian and Sarah quite I'M
pardonable.
Austin was greatly disappointed. He
