FIRE AT GOETTER'S.
Burning Debris on Second rlcor
 Causes Some Excitement-very Little namaHe.

- Burning Debris on Second Xleor
 Causes Some Ezcitsment-very Little namage.
 About 1:15 o'clock yesterday after non suok4 was seen rushing out of the windows Of the second story of Goet- ters's retaif drygoods store on Dexter Avenue and an alarm sent in called out. the fire department. When the hremeh reached the scene the sAoke was 50 dense that 1t looked for awhile like they would not be able to get into the building to light the flames, but they nnally succeeded in doing 70 and extinguishing the fire with Babcock ex- tinguishers.
 It was discovered that the Ire was burning in the trash boxes on the second floor and it was confined to the rubbish, not doing any material dam- age. Fire Chief Browder said that f the fire had occurred in the night, 1t probably would have been very disas- trous as its early discovery only pre- vented its spreading. If 1t had been at night the smoke would have gotten such a start that the dremen co0ld would have been powerless to put out the fire.
 The fire attracted a large crowd of people and they congregaeed in front of the building on Dexter Avenue. It was with difficulty that they could be gotten out the way to permit the burnt debris to be thrown out of the window. and they stood around and watched the old bpxes and trash pitched out to the ground below.
 The damage by the Are was incon- siderable. Tine building and contents are fully insured.

The June Atlantic.

The question of Trusts and their re- latiou to the general V elfdre has agail
 been brought to the front by recen
 gigantic combinations of capital. Pro lessor Charles J.sBullock of Williams College reviews in the June Atlantic
 the saliert facts and theories concern
 ing Trustp. While in no sense ar alarmist. he believes that delay in se- curing further legislation aiming at control of the Trusts is menace to the public welfare.
 The Reconstruction paper in th: June Atlantic takes as its theme the dominant political feeling at wash ington during the, period of Recon structive Legislation. It is written by Congressman s. W. Mccall of Massa- chusetts and shows a full conprehen- sion of the motives that prevailed with Republican leaders like Thaddeus Ste vens. The article has an additional value as revealing the attitude of a practical public man of the present day toward the much-debated Recon struction measures.
 The belief that 1t is idle for the small colleges to compete with the universi- ties in the range. of topics studied, and that tlaeir only hope of preserving themselves lies in their. possibility of offering some distinctive discipline and culture. is steadily gaining ground. and receives interesting support from pa per on ''The OppoHtunity of the Small college" by Herbert w. Horwill, an Oxford graduate. in the June Atlantic.
 Goldwin Smiths Study of the Duke of Wellington in the June number is a notable addition to the Atlanti's list of papers.

scAKFs THE ToREADoRs.
Spanish Bull Fighters Are Afraid of
 Cows.
:Peterson's Magazine.

Peterson's Magazine.
 It will probably not surprise our readers to hear that most Spanish bull fighters object to fighting cows. The reason may, however. astonish them. A sportsmanlike objection to persecut- ing a female animal has nothing what Avsr to do with it. The fact is thtt the average toreador Is sincerely afraid of a COW.
 And he has good reason. The cows of the half-wild breed for the arena are much quicker Tn their movements than are the bulls. Their horns are more pointed ana more formidable: they do not lower their heads to the ground, shut their eyes, and charge like a locomotive upon the rails, but are alert and ready to follow every movement of thsir persecutors. Their warlike tactics have been adapted not to blind bovine frontal attacks. but to the strategy of active and cunning beasts of prey, of which the hdman bull fighter is only feeble mimic. If these cheap idols of the Spanish pop ulacs would fass young and active wild cows which had just been robbed of their calves. they might. perhaps, fore stall the butcher. but they would. at any rate, de something te earn their laurels.

Ticket Scalping.

The Common Carrier. the bright rail- way monthly journal, edited by Frank Weldon and published in Atlanta. he- lieves that the days of the ticket scalp CT are numbered.
 The Atlanta Journal says:
 There is good, reason for thinking 50 The proposed Federal anti-sealping law has not yet passed. but it's support is growing stronger constantly and it will probably command a majority of both Houses of the Congress already elected, which will be organized next Decem- Der.
 Stringent and practical anti-scalpins Legislation would benefit the public as well as the railroads. for as long as scalping is permitted to continue the public is deprived of many privileges and concessions which the railroads would extend if they could feel sure that special rate tickets would be used only by their original purchasers.
 While a Federal anti-sealping law is desirable. laws enacted, by the. several States would be perhaps even more ef- fective, as they would cover local as well as interstate tickets.

 Police Sergeants Thomas and Taylor and Patrolman Sweeney are the appli- cants for the place and so far as can be learned there are no other applicants, although other names have been men tfoned. The Chief in making his selec- tion is restricted to the police service and the man appointed must have been a year on the force. Other names have been discussed and it is not certain by any means that any of the three applicants will be chosen.

It was also alleged that the. bill was not read three times in the House and that it was signed by the Speaker pro ten. which is, without authority of law.
