 ''The male passengers could do nothing, and the women acted admirably. The rob bers plans evidently miscarried.

DISASTROUS FIRE
 VISITS ATLANTA
Manufacturing Plant and Forty
 Houses Burned.
LOSS IS ABOUT $2OO,O0O
High Wind Was Blowing and Flames Spread So Fast That the Fire men Had to Abandon
 Hose Cart

Atlanta, May 1.-The factory of the Ware Furniture company, one of the largest man. ufacturing plants in the south, located at the end of Marietta street, just outside the city limits, was burned this afternoon. Forty cottages occupied by people employed in the factory were destroyed, many of the families losing all their effects. Several hundred thousand feet of hardwood lumber was also burned.
 William Dickinson, a fireman, was badly burned, and Thomas Warner was carried from one of the burning cottages in an un- conscious condition. The loss to the factory and on the cottages will be about $200 900, with insurance about one-half. This was the most serious fire Atlanta has had for years, and the entire department was sent out. A high wind was blowing and the in- flammable nature of the buildings made the firemen's task almost hopeless from the start.
 The spread of the flames was so rapid at one time that one company of firemen were compelled to abandon a hose cart which was burned.
 Three hundred persons were rendered homeless by the fire. Tonight the Atlanta camp of Confederate Veterans subscribed a large purse to the uses of the homeless people and chose Colonel W. A. Hemphill treasurer.
 The two-story building of the Atlanta Dray company and stables were destroyed by fire tonight. Eleven horses were cre- mated and two others so badly burned that they were killed by police officers. The loss on the building was not large.

 At the conclusion of the sermon the holy communion was celebrated and the confer ence recessed until p. m.

They are Ignatius Donnelly of Minneapolis and Wharton Barker of Phila- delphia Only few dozen delegates have so far put in an appearance, but their en- thusiasm more than makes up for their scantiness in number. The Texas dele gates, which will be the largest in attend ance, did not arrive tonight, as expected Their special train was delayed several hours by wreck south of St, Louis.
 Prominent among the delegates who were in the hotel corridors today was Mrs. Luna Kelli of Hart, Neb., editor of a populist publication. Mrs. Kelli Is an enthusiastic advocate of woman suffrage and proposes exercising her fullest endeavors to have incorporated in the platform to be adopted plank enfranchising the gentler sex.
 Ignatius Donnelly arrived early today and went quietly to the Dennison hotel, where he was soon surrounded by group of admirers. Something of a sensation was sprung afterward It became known that definite movement was on to place MT. Donnelly before the convention as presidential nominee instead of giving him second place on the ticket headed by Wharton Barker of Philadelphia.
 MT. Donnelly had only this to say: You know that I have never been accused of pushing myself. I am in favor of the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Whatever the convention sees fit to do in the matter will be perfectly satis- factory to me. I believe that we should stick to our motto-'middle-of -the-road.' "

TT @ Way to Drink Tea.
om the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 His excellency, Wu Ting Fang, the Chin csc minister. has put us under still further obligations to him by his latest speech on the subject of tea drinking and tea brewing as practiced in China and in this country. According to Wu Ting Fang, we do not know how to judge tea, or to taste tea or to buy tea or make tea, or drink tea, and all we do know about 1t is to raise revenue from it which we do not need. While there are expensive teas and cheap teas, there are no really bad teas except those that have been adulterated with deleterious in- gredients, and this very adulteration is practiced solely to meet the taste, or lack of taste, of consumers, who persist in so spelling their tea by the addition of such adulterations as rum and milk and sugar. If only they would drink their tea as nature intended it to be drunk, they would instantly detect any attempt at adulteraton. and that would be the end of the importation of impure teas
