NEW USE FOR THE THERMOMETERS.
This thermometer always hung out
side the porch door in summer and In
the family sitting room IN winter. Inc
rise and fall Of the mercury had never
been explained to the small boy Of the
family, who regarded the instrument
with great respect as a generator OF
heat next in importance to the sun.
One cold day in March he rushed In
from the barn and demanded:
ma, gimme the Thermometer quick.
What on earth do you want with
the thermometer
Il want to hang it up in the sheep
pen; the new lambs are shiyerin'
dreadful"

GOOD BABY AND BAD BABY.
The baby that's good lies all day long,
Toying away with his toes.
And no one fingers to Groom him a

Or lessen his little woes;
The baby that's good neglected lies
Where the sun shines into his blinking
eyes
And the hies trot over his nose.
The baby that squalls all day. all

Is mothers sweet precious pet;
She fondles and rocks him with all her
might,
And leaves everything else upset.

East Fifteenth street, early today The
damage by fire is estimated at $5U, COO
The dead: Elnora Downing, 20 years
old, a nurse; Elizab beth Reynolds, 80, a
waitress. Mrs. Downing was being
lowered from q sixth-stOry window by
means of a rope. The rope broke and
she fell to the. sidewalk, striking on her
skull. Miss Reynolds, who was on the
seventh floor, was suffocated.
Among those injured were John P
Walsh, so years old, contractor, right
knee fractured and body bruised; John

badly burned; W. H. Voltz, of New
Haven, a student on his way to Prince
ton.
John Chatfield. proprietor of the hotel,
Mrs. ChatfieId and her mother, Mrs F.
H. Streator, escaped from the burning
building clad only in their night robes
John Ensign Fuller, an elderly man,
made a thrilling rescue of his 17-year-
old invalid niece, Miss May Upernaan.
She was in a back room on the third
floor Through the heat and smoke Mr.
Fuller carried her down stairs on his
back His feet were terribly burned,
and as he reached the open air he stag
gered and fell with his unconscious
charge into the arms of q policeman
Col VIM L. Gildersleeve, an attache
OF the supreme court of New Mexico,
was caught on the fourth floor. He
tried to make his way to the rear A
plate glass door stopped him. He broke
it with his fist and crawled through to
safety. His face and hands were badly
cut.
Edward Marshall, who lost one leg
as the result Of wound received while
serving as a war correspondent in Cuba,
occupied a room on the second floor.
When he was aroused the halls were
filled with smoke. Not waiting to find
his artificial leg, Mr.. Marshall climbed
to the fire escape in the rear of his room
and one story from the ground. There
he found that no iron ladder was avail
able to reach safety. Directly in the
rear of the Jefferson is Steinway's ware
rooms with a one story extension in the
rear. Steinway's Waterman secured a
board which he placed from the extern
sion roof to the balcony on the bottom
of the fire escape and across this board
Mr.. Marshall and the others who climb
ed down the fire escape were rescued
About 80 people crawled across this
board to the roof and escaped
Many were cut by glass, but none was
seriously injured. Several of the wo-
men inmates were SO badly frightened
they had to be carried across the plank.

EXTRA SESSION.
President Mckinley Has Deter
mined to Call One.
Whether Before or After In
auguratiOn is Undecided.
SAYS IT'S NECESSARY
In Order to Secure Required
Philippine Legislation.
Action of Supreme Court Has
Had an Effect.
SAYS IT'S NECESSARY

New York, Jan. sO-A special to the
World from Washington says:
President Mckinley said to several
callers that the only question remaining
undecided was whether he would issue
the call for an extra session Of congress
before or after his second term begins
on March A.
The action Of the United States SUI
preme court in announcing that it
would take a recess till February II,
when it would meet, hand down deci-
sfons and adjourn for another two weeks
was construed to indicate an extra ses-
sion Of congress.
The court usually takes but two weeks
for recess in February. 1t is surmised
that the long recess now is for the pur-
post of giving the justices a chance to
devote their time to the study of Porto
Rico and Philippine cases that they
may render the decision by March 4.
Mr. Mckinley said to one Of his
friends that an extra session would be
necessary for Philippine legislation, no
matter what the decision Of the supreme
court might be.

LEIDY RISES UP.
Republican Senator Opposes the
Party Election Bill.

The first party. measure extreme party
measure, to come up in the senate was
the election bill, which was introduced
by Senator Pestana- and was entitled
AN act to provide for the printing and
distribution of ballots at the public ex-
pense, and for the nomination Of public
officers, to regulate the manner of hold
ing elections. TO enforce the secrecy of
the ballot, and to provide for the pun
ishment Of a violation of the act
The bill was made a special order this
morning, and as soon as the senate met
they began the consideration of the bill
The bill is made with the idea TO put
stop to fusion. and from a. Republican
standpoint that is all right, but in draw
ing up the bill Senator Pestana made a
number of errors which have been
noted by the Republicans of the senate.
A majority Of the members have paid
no attention to the bill, and vote for it
because it is a Republican measure. and
they understand that it does away with
fusion over half Of the Republican
members OF the senate have paid no
special attention to the bill, but they
voted for it as it was called by sections
this morning.
The bin provides that a mark in a
circle at the head of a. column will vote
a straight ticket, and il also provides
that the same name cannot appear upon
the ticket more than once This IS the
section which IS aimed at fusion, and is
all right as far as the legality and con-
venience. of the ticket is concerned. 1t
provides TOT TOUR TICKETS ana L0uT Dal4OT
boxes, and also states that any mark on
the ticket other than the x mark will
invalidate ii. 1t also makes it illegal for
any name other than a name containing
two words shall be at the head of the
ticket, and it provides that one OF the
words shall be party
Senator Mcmillan offered an amend
ment to the bill regarding the two words
at the head. Of the column He cited the
old Free State party, the National Re
publican party. and many others to
show that more than two words should
his amendment was voted down He
also offered the amendment that any
one circulating a petition to put a parts
on the ticket and then not voting the
ticket be fined not less than $780, and
that was voted down
Senator Leidy. of Butler, SPOKE against
the bill in several particulars He
called attention to several bad points.
notably the completely Of the bill and
the number Of ballots It provides for.
He called it an educational measure,
and said that If the committee wanted
an educational measure It should adopt
one that would not interfere with the
elections.
Senator Carpenter then got I'D and ap-
piled the party lash to Mr. Leidy but
his talk did not appear to have much
effect as Leidy is for the best interests
Of the state. and does not care so much
for party as he does for good legisla-
ton.
The senate reported progress as COM
mittee of the whole. and the bill will
4 come UP for further consideration.

HAVE PAT GROVE.
Joplin Police Think They Hold
the Kidnaper.

Kansas City, Jan. 30-A Star special
from Joplin. Mo. says:
A man is under arrest here on sus-
picion on that he is Pat Grove wanted
for kidnapping young Cudahy of Omaha.
He was arrested for creating a disturb
ance, and gave his name as Johnson.
The fact that he had three hundred
dollars in twenty dollar gold pieces and
that he tried to evade being photo
graphed led to the belief that he is the
kidnaper
Jimmie Maloney, formerly chief of po-
lice in South Omaha, who is in Joplin,
has, however, failed to recognize the
prisoner as Grove. Johnson is light
complexioned. He and another man
named Mcneil. who was arrested with
him have been spending gold freely in
Joplin for several days They are being
held and their photographs have been
sent to various places.

NO WIDE TIRES.
Legislators Consider Them a
Nuisance.
That Feature OF Good Roads
Movement Killed.
REMINGTON TALK s..
Says They Are a Nuisance on
Muddy Roads.
Only Advantageous on Roads of
Macadam.
REMINGTON TALKS.

This legislature does not consider wide
tires on wagons a good thing az all.
First the senate sat down upon such a
measure. and now the house has reg
istered its disapproval- In committee Of
the whole the latter body killed the bill
offered by M. g. HalIett, Of Rush The
measure proposed the exemption from
taxation OF such vehicles as were
equipped with a three-inch wide tire
Members who spoke against it said
that Wide-tired wagons We're a nuisance
on muddy roads, and did more harm
singing up heaps Of mud and inJuring
the roads with ruts than they did good
Major J. b Remington testified to this
fact. Lew Belts, OF Butler, spoke in the
same strain
The consensus Of opinion was that in
cities and on macadam roads the sys-
tenn ght be beneficial but the scheme
was not worth the loss in taxes gen
orally. considering the unequal way IN
which the exemption would be distr1D-
uted and the comparatively large
amount Of property that would thus be
EXEMPTED.

CHURCH CHANGES.
Those Anticipated in Consequence of
Edwards Accession.

New York, Jan. 30.-A Clifton Kelway.
who with the Duke OF Newcastle and
the Rev. Harry Wilson, is in this coun-
try in the interests of the ritualists in
the Church of England in speaking last
night of the probable effect of the ac-
cession of King Edward VII upon the
fortunes of the ritualistic movement in
England, said:
Present signs would indicate that the
change in sovereigns will be to our ad-
vantage. The new king and especially
the new queen, appreciate progress in
religious matters, as in other things. At
Sandringham, in the private
chapel of the Prince and Princess of
Wales, the service has always been of a
good order. But a great deal depends up
on who is chosen to the vacant bishop
ric of London. Of course we would pre-
fer Bishop Talbot of Rochester
