BURNED TO DEATH.
Two Men Who Made Effort to Rescue People
From Burning Building.


From Burning Building.
Louisville, KY, July 30.-In fire
which destroyed the property of the
Bagley- Graham Photographic Supply
Co., two men, one a policeman, were
burned to death in an effort to rescue
women and children who occupied
rooms above the store. Shortly be-
fore midnight a terrific explosion
awakened everybody in the neighbor-
hood, and among the first to reach
the front OF the building on Jefferson
street was Max Belovitch, cigar
maker living across the street. Hard
ly had the first explosion died away
before he had dashed up the stairs in
answer to woman's screams. About
the time he reached the second floor
he must Lave fallen, for when picked
up only few mintes afterward his
right side was burned to crisp. Po-
lice Officer James Purden was found
on the third floor, suffocated, and
seven firemen were taken from the
ruins. Some of them will probably
die.
II is reported that several persons
who lived in the building lost their
lives, but this cannot be verified.
Several are missing and may be in
the ruins. The fire spread with such
rapidity that even the fire fighters
were non-pulssed. When the first
crash came there was nothing but
smoke, but in q moment later the
place was veritable furnace from
floor to roof. The loss Is about $5O,-
600.

INSURGENTS SURRENDER.
A Band Of 500 b ths First to Give Up In

Manila, July 2s-General Hughes
cables the news of the first surrender
Of insurgents In the Island Of Samar,
500 men, with two field guns. 80 rifles
and 20 balos, giving themselves up to
the United States authorities.
The opinion prevails among the
United States officers that 1t will take
years to accomplish the economic plan
of General Corbin. The civil and edu-
cational authorities hold that contin-
uance Of the protection of minor posts
is necessary. aside from that afforded
by the constabulay. 1t Is generally
expected that the concentration win
be more gradual than is anticipated In
Washington.
Chamber held today was largely at
tended. Commissioner Wright, speak
ing of the charter of Manila, said the
same reasons that controlled in max
ing Washington the federal city OBJ
tanned in Manila, and Washington, he
declared, was the best governed city
in the world. Representatives of the
Spanish Chamber of Commerce vehe-
mently opposed the charter, asserting
that it was inconsistent with the prin-
ciples of the freest government on
earth to deny the right of suffrage to
the residents Of the metropolis, while
granting 1t to those of other localities.
They also declared that the proposed
system of government for Manila was
far less liberal than that offered by
the United States authorities, who
proposed to make the representatives
of the district in Manila elective by the
people.

AFTER AIRsHlP PRIZE.
Paris Inventor Awaiting An Opportunity to
Make Another Trial


Paris, July 29.-Keen interest Is still
taken In the steerable balloon Of the
Brazilian aer0naut, M. Santos Dumont.
Each day he visits the grounds of the
Aero Club at st. Cloud, where the
balloon Is kept filled in readiness to
seize the first opportunity to renew the
attempt for the Deutsch prize, the sum
of 100,000 francs offered for dirigible
balloon. The motor is working satis-
factorily and producing a higher speed
than at the last trial, but wind and rain
have thus far prevented a thorough
test. So confident is he of winning the
prize that he offers, with the accumu-
lated interest thereon, another prize
of 1000 francs to the first member Of
the Aero Club performing the round
trip from st. Cloud to the Eiffel Tower
prior to October 81.

CHAPTER XXI.

Mr.. Lincoln had failed. At the corners
of the streets groups of men stood to-
gether, talking over the matter, and as
cribing it, some to his carelessness, some
to his extreme good nature In indorsing
for anyone who asked. and others, the
knowing ones. winked slyly as they said,
they guessed he knew what he was
about-they'd known before Of such
things as failing rich:" but the mouths
of those last were stopped when they
heard that the household furniture, every
thing was given up for the benefit Of his
creditors, and was to be sold at auction
during the coming week.
When the day Of the auction arrived,
it required the persuasion of both Mrs.
Campbell and Mary to keep Jenny from
going, she knew not whittier herself, but
anywhere to be near and take one more
look at the dear old furniture as it pass
ed into the hands of strangers. At last
Mrs. Campbell promised that black Ezra.
who had accompanied her from Chicopee,
should 60 and report faithfully all the
proceedings, and then Jenny consented to
remain at home; though all the day she
seemed restless and impatient, wondering
how long before Uncle Ezra would re-
turn, and then weeping rs in fancy she
saw article after article disposed Of to
those who would know little how to
prize it.

told her that in little more than a year
she was to be the rightful owner Of a
sum of money much larger than she ever
dreamed it possible for her to possess.
Wholly unselfsh, her thoughts instantly
turned toward her adopted brother. A
part Of that sum should be his, and with
that for stepping stone to future wealth
Mrs. Lincoln, when poor and destitute,
could not longer refuse him her daugh-
ter. Mrs. Campbell, to whom alone she
confded her wishes, gave her consent,
though she could not understand the self
denying love which prompted this act Of
generosity to stranger.
And now Mary was very happy in
thinking how much good she could do.
Mrs. Mason, her benefactress, should
never want again. Sally Furbush, the
kind-hearted old crazy woman, who had
stood by her so long and SO faithfully,
should share her home wherever that
home might be; while, better than the
rest, William Bender, the truest best
friend she ever had, should be repaid
for his kindness to her when little, un-
known pauper. And still the world,
knowing nothing Of the hidden causes
which made Mary's laugh so merry and
her manner so gay, said that ''the pros
pect of being an heiress had turned her
head, just as 1t always did those who
were suddenly elevated to wealth"
