THE HURRICANE
Clev eland Had a Big Blaze on
Tuesday Night.
LOSS WILL REACH S15O,OOO,
Thirteen Structures Burned on the West
Side, Including the Historic
Old "Red Cross
Rink"
Special to News-Democrat.

Special to News-Democrat.
Cleveland, Sept 12.-Thirteen struc-
lures were destroyed by a fire that
started in a stable on the west side,
Tuesday evening about 10 o'clock. The
flames were famed by the remnants Of
the Galveston hurricane, and soon COM
municated to the infammable buildings
in the immediate vicinity.
The stable in which the fire started
stood at the west side of the big Red
Cross rink, a wooden building that
burned like a tinder box. The flames
then communicated to a large storage
house and then to petroleum refinery.
Back Of the storage house and near
the rink were clustered about dozen
little houses occupied by poor people
and every one of them was destroyed.
Only few of the occupants had time
to save anything more than the clothes
they wore.
The property loss will reach s150,000.
One Of the remarkable features of the
fire was that no one was fatally hurt
and only three people injured. Two of
these were firemen who were overcome
by heat and smoke.
AN OLD LAND MARK.
The Red Cross rink, as 1t was fami-
liarly known, had almost become a
landmark on the west side. For years
1t was the armory of Red Cross Division
Knights of Pythias, and was the only
place where large gatherings were held
and was consequently popular for politi-
cal meetings, fairs, and balls. 1t was
also an ideal place for indoor athletics
and roller skating matches. OF late
years it had grown less in favor, partly
due to the fact that 1t was a barn-like
structure at best.
THE BUILDINGS DESTROYED
were the Red Cross rink; barn owned
| by Henry Goetz, with eight sprinkline
| wagons; a house occupied by the family
| Of Thomas Osborne; house occupied
| by Louisa Block and a family by thu
| name Of Peters, house occupied by
Mrs. Louisa Smith; house occupied by
a family by the name of Blockenbach
all on Monroe street; a house on Colum
bus street, opposite Monroe street, oc
| cupied by a family named Beach; {

leum company, directly at the rear O

WILL PRAY TO
BEAT M'KINLEY,
Endless Chain Started By Indi-
ana w. G. 7. u.
CAUSED BY CANTEEN RULING
Action Thus Taken Meets with Indorse-
ment Of Organizations Throughout the
Country-Its Campaign win He
Aggressive and vigorous.

The Women's Christian Temperance
Union, of Indianapolis, have started an
endless chain Of prayer, which has for
its object the defeat Of William Nc
Kinley for the presidency Of the United
States. The New York Telegraph says:
An endles chain Of prayer has been
started in indianapolis for the defeat of
the republican candidate for the presi-
dency.
This new campaign, which promises
to be aggressive and vigorous, was in
augurated by Mrs. Mary e. Balch, Sec
retary of the Indiana state branch of
the Womans Christian Temperance
Union. Mrs. Balch's action has cast
several styles Of CONSERVATION into the
Mckinley camp in the Hoosier state.
Disappearing of the action Of the
present administration in permitting
| the existence of the canteen, which the
w. c. T. u. regards as menace to our
| soldiery, Mrs. Balch proposes to at
tempt the overthrow of Mckinley by
means Of prayer.
| Equally strong was Mrs. L. NJ. N
Stevens, national president of the w
c. T. u, in her condemnation of the
president attitude upon the temperance
question.
| "Mr. Mckinley" says President Stew
ems, "has publicly acknowledged, again
and again, his belief in the efficacy OF
the prayers of good women in controll-
ing political destinies--especially his
own. We believe that merited defeat
will follow our prayerful efforts against
him."

The soldier and Obedience.

Once, when was military attache in
Paris, l was holding conversation
with Gambetta, and he said to me, IN
these days there are only two things
which a soldier need know; he must
know how to march, and he must know
how to shoot"
/ said, 81 beg your pardon, excellen-
cy, there is third thing, which you
have forgotten"
what is that?" said he.
And replied, "He must know how
to obey"
1t is not enough to know how to-
march, it is not enough to know how to
shoot; there must in addition be fire
discipline, and that fire discipline
comes of the soldiers knowing how to
obey-to obey not merely with blind
obedience, but with an obedience
which comes from faith, faith in the
officers, faith in their justice, faith in
their knowledge, faith in their skill and
faith in their being the soldiers true
friend. Sir Henry Brackenburg.

"TwoY demanded the peremptory
conductor as he. took a quarter from
the woman who had just struggled to

''No, four" she replied.
Four fares were rung sharply, and
the conductor handed back cents.
'That isn't right!' exclaimed the
woman Indignantly.
"You said you wanted to pay for
four" retorted the trolley employee.

asked if my little boy was years
old, and said no, he was 4. I sup
pose I'll have to pay for him if it's the
rule, but don't think it's right
The remainder Of the sentence was
lost in the discords that issued from
the throat of the enraged conductor,
who thrust ten pennies into the out
stretched hand and retired to the rear
platform to relieve his feelings more
fully by refusing to stop the car for
any one for ten blocks.-New York

Sacrificed the Mustnche.

Thomas B. Reed at one time wore a
mustache of few struggling hairs,
SO often seen on the upper lip Of ex-
tremely feshy men. How Mr.. Reed
parted with his hirsute apology can
best be told by certain barber in the
house Of representatives who attended
the gentleman's wants:
"One day the big man from Maine
settled himself in the BARRIERS chair and
requested shave. When the operation
was completed, Mr.. Reed Strengthened
himself and asked, Have you any Of
that old fashioned pomade to wax
mustaches with?' s
''The barber hustled among his pots
and jars and produced a French prep
aration in vogue quarter of CEN
fury ago and then proceeded to wax
the ends of the Maine statesman's few
wirelike hairs.

arose and contemplated himself in the
glass, he turned to the astonished bar

mustache off, for you have made me

Made 1t. own Funeral Toilet.

There are certain insects that have
such respect for Mrs. Grundy and
are endowed with such an innate love
Of neatnass and order that not even
death, or rather decapitation, can pre-
vent them from making one grand
final toilet, which is clearly designed
to give them sedate and respectable
appearance after death.
DR.. Ballion, a skilled .entomologist,
discovered this remarkable fact. Our
ing one of my recent horseback rides
he says, II frequently caught one of
those large flies which annoy cattle
and horses so much, and [ promptly
got rid of it by crushing it's head.
One day, instead of throwing the mu-
tilated insect away, placed it on the
back of my hand and indolently watch
ed it. For some seconds the insect re-
NAMED motionless, but then, to my
unbounded surprise, it moved it's front
legs forward to the place where the
head should have been, and, after it
apparently in anguish, it began to
brush it's body and to smooth it's wings
with it's hind legs. Under the gentle
pressure of these limbs the body grad
ually became extended and the ex-
5tremity curved, while the wings grad
ually changed their natural position
and left the upper part of the body
exposed. Meanwhile the hind legs
continued to brush each other from
time to time.
Naturally watched this extra
ordinary sight with great interest and,
in order to see the finale, took the.
insect into my study, where it lived
an entire day, spending the time at
the ungrateful task of making it's own
funeral toilet"

con1dn,t R.esiat.

An eccentric clergyman in CORNWALL
had been much annoyed by the way
the members of the congregation had
of looking around to see late corners.
After enduring it for some time he
said on entering the reading desk one
day: Brethren, regret to see that
your attention is called away from
your religious duties by your very
natural desire to see who comes in
behind you. propose henceforth to
save you the trouble by naming each
person who may come late"
He then began, Dearly beloved"
but paused half way to interpolate,
'Mr. S., with his wife and daughter"
Mr.. s. looked rather surprised, but
the minister, with perfect gravity, re-
sumed. Presently he again paused.
"Mr. G. and William D."
The abashed congregation kept their
eyes studiously bent on their books.
The service proceeded in the most or
derly manner, the parson interrupting
himself every now and then to name
some newcomer. At last he said, still
with the same perfect gravity:
Mrs. s. in new bonnet"
In a moment every feminine head in
the congregation had turned around.-

spoke contemptuously of the ability
Of Scotch thieves as compared with

who had been logging them and who
was known as an expert pickpocket.
