Car Barns and 100 Cars Burned.

Car Barns and 100 Cars Burned.
Chicago, Dec. 15.-The total
destruction of the Lincoln avenue
car barns of the Chicago Traction
Company, with more than 100
street care, ,resaltiug in the fire that
was Discovered at an early hour
this morning. Beside the building,
nearly all the grip cars and trxilers
used on the LinceIn avenue line
were destroyed
The intense cold of the past two
days contributed much to the
spread of the flames as the fire
bydrants in the vicinity were
frozen. President John M. Roach,
of the tracti"n company, placed
the loss at about $3.50, 600, partly
insured. 1T is supposed the fire
originated from an overhsated
stove in the cars that wore In the

lhe observer heard not long ago
OF the case of a young man, living
IN small bu' growing town, who
applied to a prominent business
man of another city for work. In
quiring about the applicant, the
business man was told that he was
the type of youth who was content
to work at about $40 per month
salary, or less, perhaps, always
anxious to get away from his work
at the earliest possible moment in
srder to spend his evenings with
young ladies, being something of
social high flyer. In the country
town where this young man lived
there was not competent carpen-
ter, brick mason or mechanic and
when one wa. needed he had TO
be imported and paid at least
~. so pay for his services. But
the young man would have con
sidered learning a trade like any
of these as beneath his dignity
and position, so he kept on at
what he was already doing-clerk-
ing in the country store. Char
lotte Observer.
The Enquirer has also heard of
this young man-maybe not of
this particular one: but of his
type The type is common every
where, not only in Charlotte; but
throughout the country. 1t is sci
dom that we hear of his amount
ing to much either in a business
or industrial way. 1t is because he
mortgages the independence that
would be his in the future for tho
deceptive pleasures that seem to
stand out before him in the pre-.
sent. The responsibility, how
over, is not upon him alone. 1t is
upon society generally, There
should be higher premium upor
industrial merit and moral worth
and a more general contempt fol
butterfly idleness. W. need te
give more attention to the charac
ter of the man and less attention
to this character of his occupation

ter the occurrence. and the hor-

man created intense excitement in
the community where it occurred.
1t appears that Edward Hollis,
white man, who is CONNER

for ssvsra! days after arriving at
ths home of his father in, law.
Mr.. A. B. Poole, who lives on

after his cening quarrel arose
between himself and wife, and
this Is supposed to bs the founda-

ended in the death of mis- wife and
her sister, Miss jamie Poole, at
tho hands of Hollis, who ended
his own life Ms the sequel of the
awful tragedy.
Betwesn 4 and 5 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon several men,
bsrs Of the family were IN the
sitting room, when HsIlis entered
with a pistol ia hand and com>

aimed the first shot at Miss Poole,
who sank to the floor in the en-
brace of death with q bullet
hrough her head. His wife was
he next victim of his wrath, and
his ain at her was also deadly, as
she fell to the floor with life ex-
tinct. Their baby was in her
arms when the doed was done.
And the little follow was shot
through its finger by the bullet
which ondsd it's mothers life.
Then Hollis sought to kill his
mothsr.in-law, but she was fortu
nate to escape the shot, and then
with deliberate intent he sent
bullet int his own heart, which
laid him prostrate On the floor by
the side OF his victims. These
three corpsss were quite nsar to-.

Fer the Plain Girl.

Few girls are willing to acknowledge
that they are plain-loOking. yet there are
undoubtedly some such in the world.
The girl of that description should nor
become soured and visit her misfortune
upon others, who are not to blame for it.
She should bear in mind that the
women who have ruled the worlds dos
tiny have for the mosr part been quite
devoid of beauty.
She should think how ileeting beauty is
and that she will never suffer the pangs
endured by beautiful woman who sees
her charms fading.
She should remember. too. that the
planest woman may be made better look
ing by dress, style of carriage and by
pleasing expression.
She should remember that when man
makes love to her it is for her real self.
not for the mere outward attraction Of
beauty. which may vanish any moment
by an accident.
She should never forget that bad
temper added 10 n plain face is a misery.
but good temper, sweetness and unSelfiSh
manners can make plain woman even
more charming than a pretty one.
