GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Governor Gambler Veroes the Wright
Dispensary Bill.

DlSpenSary Bill.
Atlanta, Nov. 6.-Governor Gambler
sent message to both houses of the
general assembly just after the noon
hour today vetoing the Wright dis
pensary measure.
The reasons assigned for this ac-
ton he summarized as follows:
First, while it purports to be in the
interests Of temperance and for the
restriction Of the sale, it will have a
contrary effect and open the f1oodgates
in the dry counties and overwhelm
them and set back the cause of tenn
perance in the state a generation.
Secondly, it is a delusion and a
snare, damaging to the cause it pur-
ports to foster, misleading in it's Ian
guage and details and restricts and
STILES local option in an overwhelming
majority of the counties. The bill
seeks to determine by popular vote
whether intoxicating liquors shall be
sold from dispensary or from licens-
ed barrooms.
Third, instead of putting a quietus
on the agitation of the liquor traffic
it will inaugurate in almost every
county of the state fierce contests
over it, bringing back the most worth
less element, now out of politics, to
disturb future elections, thus arming
every irresponsible voter with the bal
lot.
1t will not stop the agitation of the
liquor question; will not stop the H.
licit sale of liquor in the dry coun-
ties, and the state cannot afford to
sanction the dispensary traffic for the
money there is in it.

eRAus SCORE GREAT SUCCESS.
Remarkable Season of Grand Opera at
'Frisco-Receipts $23o,ooo.


'Frisco-Receipts $23o,ooo.
San Francisco, Dec. 6.-The most
remarkable season of grand opera
ever given on this coast terminated
last night at the Grand opera house,
and the Grau company is now speed
ing toward Kansas City on special
train that left this morning.
During the five weeks season the
company gave 80 performances and
the receipts have reached the sum of
$230,000. The number of people who
heard the grand opera figures up to
more than $4,000.
The enthusiasm manifested at the
closing performance has never been
surpassed here. The performance of
THE Marriage of Figaro with Zem-
brich, Eames and DeReszke in the
cast was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause and the closing curtain was
raised nine times, the audience re-
naming standing, cheering, waving
handkerchiefs and hats, while bou-
quets were thrown to the smiling sing
ers on the stage. Calve leaves today
for Florida, where she will rest until
she is able to join Grau In New York
for the season. Eames will leave for
st. Louis and will rest there for one
week until the company arrives in
that city. Sybil Sanderson has de-
cided to have an operation performed
on her throat and will probably re-
main in California for few weeks.

Fire Burned So Rapidly That In Order
to Save Their Lives He Was Com.
PEELED to Throw Them From the
Second Story Window
Pittsburg, Dec. 6.-Two persons
were burned to death and seven in

morning.
The dead

Samuel Klee, aged so.

Harry Klee, aged 4.
The Klee residence is a two-story
frame house on Broadway, the ground
floor froat being devoted to a gro
Gerry store kept by Klee and the rest
of the building occupied by the fam
lily.
The fire was discovered about 4:40
o'clock this morning by the grocery
clerk, Morris Fizis. He Immediately
gave the alarm, but the flames spread
so rapidly that the occupants of the
upper story were shut off from the
stairway and Klee and his wife re-
allied that there was but one way to
save the children, and that was to
throw them from the window, a dis
tance of about 20 feet.
Threw Children from Window.
One by one the children were
brought to the front window and drop
ped to the ground by the father All
of them were more or less seriously
injured, but all escaped death from
the flames except Mary. By the time
Harry, the baby, was reached, not
only was the father exhausted with
his exertions and the terrible condi-
tions under which he worked, but the
flames were fast making his efforts
impossible. When he was able to get
Harry it was found that the fire had
already reached him and that the lit
tie ones face and feet and hands were
blistered and burned. He was snatch
ed from the flames just in time, and it
is thought that he will survive.
After reaching his baby the father
looked round for his wife, whom he
had missed from his side for some
time. Unable to locate her he called
to those whom he had saved for the
purpose OF ascertainIng If she had
Joined them. She had not and the
husband became almost distracted
with fear and panic. 1t seems, how
ever, that while the father was rescu-
ing the youngest and most helpless
child she was making an attempt to
save the life of Mary ana In doing 80
gave up her own life.
The house was totally destroyed.
The charred remains of the mother
and daughter were found in the ruins
side by side. Both had been overcome
by the smoke before they could escape
from the room.
When the fremen arrived the father
refused to leave the building without
his wife and child, and the fremen
were compelled to forcibly carry him
from the turning building.
