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

Louisville, KY, July 30.- a 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, q 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.
1t 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 moment later the
place was veritable furnace from
floor to roof The loss is about $780,
600.

AFTER AlRsHIP 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 aeronaut, M. Santos Dumont.
Each day he visits the grounds of the
Aero Club at st. Cloud, where the
balloon is kept filed in readiness to
seize the first opportunity to renew the
attempt for the Deutsch prize, the sum
of 100000 francs offered for a dirigible
balloon. The motor is working satis-
factorily and producing 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 1t, 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,
II required the persuasion OF both Mrs.
Campbell and Mary to keep Jenny from
going, she knew not whittier herself, but

look at the dear old furniture as II pass

Mrs. Campbell promised that black Ezra,
who had accompanied her from Chicopee,
should go 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 as in fancy she
saw article after article disposed Of to
those who would know little how to
prize It.

TWISTED BOY
Has a Great Travelling Record

Has a Great Travelling Record.
 It is now announced that Waldo c. Curtis will go to South Africa in Mo- vember If Waldo keeps on he will be somewhat of a traveller before he is 30. Before he was 15 years old he had been in all the New England, Middle, and Southern States and before he was r he had travelled in Central America and Mexico. Then he drifted into Texas, went into the Western States and so on to California and the other Pacific Coast States, including British America. Then, after a couple of years spent on the Pacific coast, his chums got the gold fever and four of five of them went to the Klondike, but Waldo came home, and fitted out for Alaska and the gold fields. Another year saw him back and into the Klondike, where after spending nearly two years, the war came between this country and Spain. He got home as soon as he could and served till the Spanish war ended After staying around home a few months he again drifted to Cali fornia. Here he once more donned the blue, enlisted in the volunteer army, and went to the Philippines, and he has only just got back, few weeks ago, his regiment being one of the last to come home, He has while still under 27 years of age, been all over this continent, in Asia, in Africa, and the islands of the sea, and barring South Africa, has been pretty much all over the globe Not quite of course, all over the world, but nearly all for he made two trips to Europe before he was 20, on sailing vessels. Waldo has not yet been at the North Pole and there are a. few spots and countries in Africa and Asia which he has not yet visited, but by the time he is 35 years of age, he will be able to write up quite a book, giving the experiences of his travels. Few men have hustled livelier than he has and this is true of old travellers twice his age.-Water- bury American.
