MR.. EDITOR: observe in yOul
last issue an alleged poem address
ed to our august self, which had a
tendency to knock the kalsomine
of our dignity.
The title of this journalistic at.
rocity was "Widney's Ladder
To say we were hot feebly ex-
presses our feelings.
My first thought was to invite
the author to meet me i'm the fistic
arena, where in the words of
TennysOn:
II would wipe up the deck
With the back Of his neck
And the villain still pursued her."
But owing to the fact that dur.
ing my late catastrophe the links
Of my vertibral became tclescOped,
thereby uniting me for pugilistic
pleasures, l was forced to forego
my original intentions. Besides,
my mind went back to my early
childhood when l was taught
that it was wrong to harm even
the meanest of Gods creatures:
That poem of yours. Johnny dear.
Full Of naughty words and long;
We're you full Of prunes and beer
When you wrote that simple song?
When you wrote that little song
Telling of my upward climb.
Did you know your head y as wrong?
Were you loony at the time?
When you plncked it from the stem,
Tell me truly, darling Jack.
Did you dream It was gem
Or Simply an insane attack?
You still retain my great regard
know you're loving sweet and pure;
In case like yours its hard
To effect q perfect cure.
When read it through FIRST time,
/ longed to pack and journey hence
All it lacked Of being rhyme
Was little rhym, truth and sense.
MORAL.
There's nothing to win in the poeti-
cal game.
This lesson you we'll can apply
II you try to crawl up the ladder Of
fame
You'll fall on your back as did l.
A. HI. WIDNEY.

MANY TANKS BURNED.
Standard Oil Company Loses Heavily
by Fire In New Jersey.

Jersey City, July 5.-Lightning started
a fire ut Constable Hook, n. j., which
| destroyed 26 tanks of the Standard Oil
company. So far as can be learned, there
was no loss of life, although large num-
! pef OF men were employed near the
| tanks when the fire started. William
Mahon, boy IL years old, was severely
but not fatally burned, and five laborers
were badly burned.
When il became apparent that little
could be done 10 save the Standard Oil
company's plant, the iiremen turned their
attention to adjoining property, and
trenches were dug to stop the progress
of the flames. For a time the Tidewater
Oil company's tanks and the tenement
slistrict Of Bay0nne We're threatened
AT one time the ilalnes, which extended
over an immense area, shot 800 feet up
into the air. The heat was intense, ana
the Iicmcn could not get near enough
TO the flames to do much good. The fire
boats along the shore At Constable Hook
occupied Il better position in this respect,
but the water that reached the blazing
oil had little effect.
The force of employees Of the Stand
ard company rcSorted to their usual
method when II fire breaks out in the
works. They pumped oil from one set of
tanks into others to distant point from
the blaze. This work WAS Slow as well
as dangerous to human life, owing to the
rapidity with which the flames commu-
nicated from one tank to another.
The tremen, realizing that it was use
less TO throw streams on the blazing oil,
directed their attention to the saving of
Il large number OF stores on the businpSs
street in Constable Hook These stores
were brick buildings, the upper parts be-
ing used as dwellings. Many of the ten
ants moved out their personal effects and
The tanks were not insured, as the
rates charged by insurance companies for
such extra hazardous risks would be al |
most prohibitive-too large to justify the |
owners in going to such enormous ex-
pense.
The loss is estimated at 81, 100000.

FIRE VICTIMS BURIED.
Crowds Witness Funerals of Those
Who perishetI Saturday.

Jersey City, July 5.--A large number
of unidentified bodies recovered from the
Hoboken pier fire have been buried.
There We're not enough hearScs in Jcr-
sey City and Hoboken to carry all of the
dead, and the coroner was compelled to
carry some on trucks.
Long before the hour set for the fu-
neral cortege to start crowds of men.
women and children gathered along the
route through which the funeral process
sion was to pass. The heat was intense,
but this did not seem to keep away the
curiosity seekers.
The North German Lloyd Steamship
company had arranged for the funeral,
and its representatives were present to
see that the company's plans were car
ried out. The funeral services, though
simple in character, were very Impress
i've. Among those present were Arch
deacon William B. Jcnvey of st. Paul's
church and Mayor Fagan of Hoboken.
No bodies have been found on board
of either the Bremen or Main. Divers

portfolios of both wrecked steamships

ly all the cargo of cotton has been re-
moved from the Bremen. 1t is expected
the work of pumping the Bremen out
will begin the first part of next week.
1t is expected that the Main cannot be

There We're several conferences in which
Mr.. ST. Clair of West Virginia. Senator

pants. These three members were dispos-

to carry the matter into the convention
their determination weakened, and they
ultimately decided to drop the matter.
This they did not do, however, without
many protests.
Mr.. DAILY said that he was instructed
by his delegation against any concur
renee in the report of the majority and
that whether Il minority report was pre-
sentcd or not he would not sign the re-
port for 16 to L.
Senator Money presented a tabulated
statement showing that the votes cast
for the ratio represented only III out of
$50 votes in the convention. lie said,
however, that his state had given him
free rein to act as he might think wisest. |
New York decided early not to unite |
in any minority presentation. and this
decision had strong influence upon de-
the decision to avoid pres
entation of the minority views.
Hon. George Fred Williams, who was
one of the most prominent contestants,
gives the credit for the turning of the |
