the biographer who searches through
his public record for data OF aftirma-

Of some legislative enactment which
bears the Coray impress of construct

evidence that his habtual scolding has
affected practical results-discovers
little that is worth the effort. The
record on this side is barren
1t is not difficult to win reputation
by the process of ingenious fault-hnd-
ing; and Mr. Coray's methods exhibit
,onsidera BILE ingenuity. But it is usual
ly an ephemeral reputation. People in
time tire of a rhetorical diet OF political
hiliousness and long for more substan-
tial achievements. The harlequns of
reform" in our state have found Mr..
corays gifts of sarcasm and invective
temporarily useful in their plottings for
place and power; and through their
newspapers they have been liberal in
their administrations of verbal taffy.

RECOMMENDATION.
Editor Of The Tribune

Sir In an editorial entitled, "Weyler and

Atrocities that the Spdniards were guilty Of in
Cuba. Which do you think is better, to let the
non'combatants stsr,e on their farms in South
Africa, or to feed them in camps? Weyler drove
them into camls and let them starve there Do

the Metropolitan Opera House.
"For this and other reasons he was
strongly disliked by all the workmen-
One day he came to me and said, with
great show of mystery:

"I could not for the life Of me under

DOG GAVE
ALARM
OF FIRE:
Barking Called Attention to
Blaze In South Water ST.
Cotton SloTehOuse.

Two alarms were rung in from box ll6
Market square for a fire at 30 and S6
South Water street yesterday at o'clock
In the afternoon.
Attention to the blaze was called by
bull terrier that was looking for rats in
lane leading from South Main street TO
the rear OF the building at 81 and 36 on
South Water street. Upon seeing the
smoke pour forth from the upper win
dows the dog began barking loudly,
thereby attracting the attention OF Max
Berry who was sitting in front of
Schnabels store, and who rang the
alarm.
The building is owned by the heirs OF
Orray Taft, and leased and occupied by
f. W. Reynolds a Co, cotton brokers.
The front part OF the lower floor Is used
as an office. while the upper and rear
part of the building is used for storing
cotton.
The cotton bales burned freely. and
caused dense. suffocating smoke that
gave the fire the appearance. OF being
much worse than II really was. Conse-
quently, shortly after O'Clock a second
alarm was rung IN by Chief Steerc.
The firemen were somewhat hampered
at frst Dy the iron shutters tndt pre-
vented their getting at the fire imme-
| diately. Several streams of water were
| turned on the blaze from various direc-
\ tions, however, and IL was thereby extin-
| guished. Owing 10 the fires being Of a
| smouldering nature IL was difficult 70
| locate, and therefore the recall Was not
| sounded until 4:45 y. m.

( the loss would be small.
