Bio Fire loRa.


Philadelphia, May 26.-Fire in the,
building of the Front Street Ware
house company caused a loss esti-.
mated at $1,000,000. The building,
which was three stories high on Front
street and five in the rear with two
subcellars, contained merchandise Of
general character. One floor was
packed solidly with mating and there
were 1900 rolls of carpet, 500 barrels
of molasses, q carload Of wines and
other liquors, carload of matches
and much machinery. Everything was
destroyed either by fire or water. The
fire started in the basement and was
not discovered until the center OF the
first floor was in flames. The char
acter of the goods in the building made
it an easy prey to the flames and the
whole structure was soon ablaZe. The
contents of the building were owned
by many firms and individuals, and II
is not known what amount of insul'
ance was carried.

German Officer Got Four Years.

Berlin, May 2S.-The attention of
Germany was centered on the public
courtmartial of Ensign Hussuer, who
was tried at Kiel before five judges
and sentenced to four years and one
weeks imprisonment and to degrade
ton for the killing of Artilleryman
Hartman, at Essen, on Good Friday.
The ensigns excuse was that Hartman
had not saluted him properly. Huss-
ner's replies to the president of the
court were straightforward. He said
that while regretting that his sword
strokes killed the artilleryman, he af.
f1rmed that he acted within the ser.
vice instructions, and that he was
obliged by honor to compel obedience.

PLOT TO KILL PRESIDENT.
Butcher of WalIa Walla Landed Be
hind the Bars.

President Theodore Roosevelt would
probably have been lying dead or des-
perately wounded, ruthlessly shot
down by an anarchist hand, had not
clever work of the local police force
frustrated the alleged plot.
Joseph Barker, a radical socialist,
with no home, lies behind the bars at
the county Jail. He was located and
captured at noon, four hours before
President Roosevelt and party enter
ed Walla Walla from the west.
Barker was found in the butcher
shop of Chris Ennis, where he was
working. He claims to be a butcher
and came here from Pendleton, Ore,
where he formerly worked at this
trade.
The alleged plot to kill the chief
executive originated in Pendleton a
few days ago, where Barker was in the
employ of Pat Kline, a butcher. Kline
followed Barker to Walla Walla on the
strength of a remark Barker made
last week that he had one bullet for
President Roosevelt and one for EN-.
peror William" When Barker left
carrying a A rife on his shoulder and
headed for WalA Walla, Kline grew
alarmed. He came here and notified
the local police.
Three officers, with Kline, started a
search, finally locating Barker, who
was sharpening a big knife, in the
butcher shop. He was arrested and
| sweated. He soon confessed the loca
tion of his rife, which he had cached
at a farmers barn, point of vantage
along the route of the parade where
President Roosevelt was expected to
rass. The episode vas kept very quiet
until President Roosevelt left town
The public did not hear of the affair
Barker is Swiss. He is small and
of light complexion. He says little
and is sull.n.
well Known resident of the county
was driven out of town. He claimed
the Lord had called on him to kill the
president He is a fine shot and is
another radical socialist.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT SPOKANE
Julia Porack Of sprasue Run over by
Train.

Spokane, May 27.-Julia Porack,
aged 20 years, daughter of Rudolph
Porack, a pioneer brewer of Sprague
was run over and killed about 1880
tuesday night at the Northern Pacific
depot by train No. 8, from the east.
She fell beneath the wheels and her
head was cut off. Death was instan-
taneous. The remains were removed
to Smiths morgue. DR.. d. L. Smith,
the corner, said at midnight that prob
ably no inquest would be held as he
believed it was clearly an accident
Miss Porack was one of large par
ty of young people from Sprague, who
came here to SEE Roosevelt. Her
escort was Nat Garten, aged about
20 years, who is employed in a
Sprague dry goods store. They we're

an almost worshiping host; but it was
more inspiring, because it was the tri-
butte of free people to hero of war,
and statesman OF peace.
Spokanes welcome to Roosevelt will
be remembered for years by those who
participated in it, however humble the
part they played-from the lusty shout
er on the curbstone to the gentleman
in silk tile who was fortunate enough
to secure place in the parade. 1t was
pageant such as the Inland Empire
has never seen before, and which it
will not see soon again.
Estimates are that from $4,000 to
$4,000 people saw President Roosevelt
deliver his address. Probably not to
exceed one third that number heard his
address. At the intersection of Lincoln
street and Main avenue in front of the
speakers stand, thousands were mass.
ed as tightly as they could stand. Far
out on the haymarket on Main avenue,
on the steps of the Vincent church and
from every direction about the stand
hundreds more gathered. On the basis
OF one person to every square foot it is
estimated that the crowd around the
grand stand numbered easily from %.
600 to 10000.
thousands made no effort to heal
the address, preferring to line the route
OF the final drive to the Northern Pa
cific depot to catch farewell glimpse
OF the president rather than to Join the
pushing, perspiring mass in front o.
the speaker. Probably 5000 person.
gathered near the depot to witness the
departure.

Polish wedding Cuntoml

According to the Polish custom, the
marriage ceremony usually occurs on a
Sunday, this being done to permit the
men to attend without losing any time
from their employment. while the bride
is supposed to maintain the greatest
secrecy concerning her wedding until
she is actually clad in her wedding
garments of thin white and bridal
VEIL Then she goes from house to
house, regardless Of the conditions OF
the weather, and invites her friends to
her wedding, which, Of course, is pay
ing them a very pretty compliment.
Again, according to custom, and during
the course of the reception, a china
bowl is placed In the center of the
table upon which the feast is spread,
and each man whom the bride honors
with a waltz understands that he is to
throw with all his might and main a
silver piece into this bowl, the Idea
being to break it, and the man who IS
so fortunate as to shatter the vessel is
entitled to the farewell dance and
kiss from the bride. While the Gus
tom is curious 1t is none the less prac-
teal, as 1t is not an infrequent thing
for the newly married couple to re-
cefve three or more hundred dollars
at their wedding feast.

refreshed herself herewith, the fingers
leaving their trace upon them. She
did not throw the fragments OF peel
openly upon the car floor, but, with
the slyness of woman, tucked them
down beside her under the seat, where
they would be difficult for the car
cleaner to get at Her own cat would
have eaten more daintily.
Opposite the fat young woman was a
family party The children devoured
peanuts and scattered the shells all
about them till the floor was sight to
behold To add to the decorative effect,
their father spat tobacco upon the
floor. 1t was handsome, extensively

work and beautifully woven reed seats.
In the evening Kate Sharp went to an
entertainment given by German lit
erary society. The only American on
the programme was professor in one
of the leading universities of the
United States. He gave his address
from the elevated platform, then sat
down and, there above the heads of his
audience, crossed his legs and tilted
his chair far back. leaving only the bot
tom of the chair and the under part of
his lower limbs fronting his audience.

nudged one another and whispered
