A CLOSE CALL.
Fire Consumes Old Exposition
Building at Kansas City
While Ringling's Circus Was
Across the Street.

Kansas City, Mo.,Au Sat o'clock
this afternoon flames burst suddenly
from the old exposition building. occu-
pying a half square of ground in the
eastern end of the city. and Immediate
ly spread through the entire structure.
which has been unoccupied for years.
The building is situated directly across
street from where Ringling's circus had
pitched its tents here last night and
great excitement prevailed among the
hundreds of people awaiting the open
ing performance. The circus employees
were soon called out and aided in get
ting the people to places of safety. The
building, which is situated three miles
from the center of the city. is an old
land mark and was to have been blown
up with dynamite next Saturday to
give way for a new structure.
At 2 o'clock the fire was still burning
fiercely and it is probable that the
building will be entirely destroyed. 1t
is believed the fremen will be able to
prevent its spreading to the adjoining
residence district or to the circus pro-
perty. AS far as known no one was in
jured. The people were gotten out OF
the circus tents in safety and the ami
mails were removed without much trou-
Bile The Exposition building was built
at a cost of $780, 900, but for years has
been in a depleted condition and was
practically of no value.
The great roof fell in at 2:15 and the
building was soon a complete wreck.
The fire was under control at 2:30, con-
fined to the Exposition building.

ing at the comb of the roof and run
ming down, tearing out most Of the
east end of the building.
A COW which Peck had pfcketed out
ten feet from the barn, and which had
been driven in close to the building by
the shower, was struck and killed, as
was also a horse tied inside and ten
feet from the COW. Between the two
however, a snail terrier dog was tied,
and the dog escaped unhurt.
Peck says ne remembers having
heard the dog yelp. but did not get up
to see what the trouble was. Perhaps
as strange as the escape Of the dog
was the fact that the barn was not
burned only a small place around the
heads of the nails having been charred.
On the chain by which the COW was
picketed was a ring and a snap; the
intense heat of the electricity melted
these until when found they were run
together. resembling a piece of molten
solder. The loss to the building was
perhaps $25.

WHAT WAS SAID.
Senator CuIIom Discusses His
Visit to the President.
Hanna Was Not There on Ac-
count of the Strike.
NO TARIFF REVISION.
Says There Will Be No Import
ant Changes Made.
Cuban Annexation Sentiment
Is Growing Stronger.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-After a visit to
President Mckinley at Canton. Sena tor
Cullom says there is not likely to be
any general tariff legislation next win
ter but that some OF the pending COM
mercial treaties ought to pass the sem
ate. The senator also talked of gov
ernment policy in other lines.
The senator returned home last eve
ming and went at once to Highland
Park, where he is spending the sum-
mer.
Asked as to the story that Senator
Hanna had gone to Canton to get aid
from the president in settling the steel
strike, Senator Cullom said:
Il know there is nothing in that re-
port. Senator Hanna. President Me-
Kinley and myself talked of the strike
as we did of other matters Of current
interest. but there was no suggestion
from Senator Hanna at any time that
he was mixing up in the matter at all
Speaking of the action likely to he
taken by congress at the next session,
Senator Cullom said.
I'VE shall have to enact some legis-
lation regarding the Philippines but
all disposed of and there is nothing TO
do for it. As far as Cuba is concerned.
it has accepted the American proposals
and we have nothing more to do than
let 1t alone and allow il to work out it's
own salvation. From all the informa-
tiOn I can get the feeling is growing
stronger in Cuba every day in favor OF
final annexation to this country 1t
will grow stronger and stronger as the
Cubans find their neighb0rs In Porto
Rico enjoying the benefits of free trade
with this country, which they are de-
barred from"
What prospect is there of tariff leg
islation by congress next winter" was
asked the senator.
Il do not think there will be any at
least in the form of a general revision
of the tariff. OF course / am not ia a
position to speak authoritatively for the
president, but I feel I am representing
his ideas when I say that.
There are, however, some things we
ought to do which viii amount to par
tial revision of the tariff. There are. .at
present pending before the senate some
ten commercial treaties. These treaties
are all OF a reciprocity character and il
they are ratified will amount TO a.
change In the tariff with the countries
with which they are made 1t seems to
me as If it would be wise to ratify at
least some of them. A feeling has
grown up abroad that the United States
is disposed to act in what may be cali
ed a hoggish manner in its trade rela-
tions and if these reciprocity treaties
can be drawn so as to be for the mutual
advantage of both countries entering
into them think it would be beneficial
all around"

SHELDON NEEDS ROOM.
Plans on Foot to Enlarge Gen.
trail Congregational Church.

1.-THE church members are asked to
consider the necessity of enlarging the
church building in the near future. We
must have more room especially for the
sake Of the children. When we are
ready to build we must have the money
to pay for it and dedicate free of debt.
Let us all pray for wisdom, that our
plans may be approved by God"
The above notice was among those
printed on communion Sunday leaf
let which was circulated at Central
Congregational church Sunday morn
ing.
church building are still in indefinite
condition Not until early in the fall
when the out of town mem bers of the
church have returned, Will the question
be formally presented to the congrega-
ton.
Central church owns four numbers of
land just west of its present building
1t also owns one number south of the
church. The original plans for the COM
pletion Of the church building cOntem-
plated the erection of large stone edi-
flee on the west four numbers making
the church face on Buchanan street.
present
Charles NJ. Sheldon, pastor of the
church, said today in speaking of the
plan to enlarge the church building:
We will be obliged to enlarge our
building as soon as we can. This is
owing especially to the growth of our
Sunday school There are about 25O
enrolled in the Sunday school, and our
attendance is about 200 We have not
room enough for the pupils
L do not yet know what the MEM
bers of the church will do. They may
decide to simply build a small addition
to the south end of the building. This
plan has been suggested 1t is more
likely that we will build on the four
lots west of the present building The
present building is fixed so that it will
be easy to add to it on the west. The
stone. / suppose that the addition will
be built of stone to correspond with
the present building.
The question of how large or exten-
Sive an addition we will make is one of
finance. The church members will have
to decide how much they think the
church can afford to spend. We will not
end of town is growing quite rapidly,
and that we can easily use larger ac-
commodations."
Mr.. Sheldon came to Topeka in 1889.
At that time the foundation for the
present Central church building, ex-
cepting the Bowman Memorial, had
lust been laid The church was holding
it's services in "F'ranklin's hall" above
a grocery store on Huntoon street
The church has grown very much in
the past ten years, both in membership
and in financial strength. The Sunday
school of which D. L. McEachrOn, act
ing president of Washburn college, is
the superintendent, has grown even
more than the church. 1t is very likely
and complete the original plans of the
main building, which would probably
involve an expenditure of at least
$40 600.

The Princess Victoria had her

= Career Full of disappointment and
Unhappiness.

No career among the great ones of
the world of the latter part of the last
century is as unique as that of the
Empress Frederick. Wonderful and
brilliant was her life, yet full of grief.
NO woman so often stepped upon the
threshold of power only to be thrust
back into oblivion; no woman had been
so often trained to rule, only to see a
younger person usurp her place As
Victoria Adelaide Mary Louise, the
princess was born in 1910, the first of
Queen Victoria's children, and she was
the princess royal.
She was Immediately granted by act
of parliament a dover of $40 900 and a
life annuity of $4,000. She was en-
dOwed with the Royal Order of Vic
toria and Albert, and was sung on
every hand as '-Our future queen For
year hers was the most idolized
name upon the British tongue and
babies were named for her throughout
the kingdom.
she We're old enough to understand,
was turned into grief; for a boy, the
future Prince of Wales, was born; and
the succession by English law passed
over her head to his.
Then came children fast, one a year,
until there We're nine in the royal
household. But through it all the heart
of the queen was faithful to her first
born, '9Vicky." as she was called in the
household: and she resolved to atone
to the girl for the disappointment
which she must some day feel for not
ruling.
So when vicky was scarcely 16.
Queen Victoria began matchmaking
for her; and, of course. she selected as
the field of her labors the then richest
country in Europe
Germany had a crown prince, Fred
erick William Nicholas Charles, and
upon him the queen mother set her
eyes.
And the union found favor in the
hearts Of the German people; all
warmed toward the little English prin-
cess. then scarcely full grown. with
such tirnid ways and clever, homely
face; all except Bismarck. who hated
her from the minute he set eyes upon
her, and whose enmity she was often
to feel in the years to come
When she was II the marriage took
place; and 'sVicky'' bade farewell to
the baby, in a last scene touchingly
told in the letters of Queen Victoria.
She left Windsor and went among a
strange people. to be the wife of the
crown prince of Germany
Vicky was not happy at first. She
missed the eight little brothers and
siRters. and wrote home to her mother
more than once to kiss the baby
