Race Suicide.
By Charlotte Teller.

There was a piece of land on
which the sun shone and the rain
fell; and many things grew therein.
Those who owned the land had
planted the seeds and watched
them grow. When the summer time
came the owners were disappointed
with the blossoming and they COM
planned of it.
And while they talked they grew
very sad and serious. They said
harsh things against the plants
whose few white blossoms were even
then willing and losing their
purity.
Then there came one who was a
gardener. He heard all that the
owners of the land had to say,
then he asked: "You think that it
is the fault Of the plants and that
they do not wish to blossom?"
"The plants are perverse, the
owners answered; "they do not rea-
lize that we need blossoms; they are
selfish and lazy. You are an ex-
perienced gardener; you must argue
with them"
ARGUE with plants! Persuade
plants to bear blossomsl" The
gardener spoke the words loudly
and then threw back his head and
laughed. The sound of his laughter
went through the land.
But suddenly he grew serious.
He looked into the eyes of those
who were near him. "If you really
wish blossoms, then do what / say
and do it at once"
They all gathered around him
and listened while he spoke.
"You must stir the soil about the
roots of the plants; the roots must
have freedom and not be packed
tight in the soil OF Economic Neces-
sity.
"You must pull up the weeds
that you are cherishing now and
tending so carefully-the weeds OF
deadly Competition, OF Ignorance,
of Property Rights and War. You
must free your land OF those before
the plants can blossom"
Then it was the turn OF the own
ers to laugh. They looked at each
other with amusement over the
mistaken ideas of their visitor.
"These are not weeds, they said:
ltthese are what we have toiled for
generations to raise. Most certainly
we will not destroy them now. Nor
will we stir the soil about the roots
Of these other plants, for if we gave
them freedom they might leave US
and our tender care of them"
There was no more for the ex-
perienced gardener to say, and he
went away. But the owners began
again to urge the plants to bear
blossoms. And the plants quivered
Is in the hour, off onto the dry soil
and among the weeds.

YESTERDAY MORNINGS FIRE.

A Number of Inmates of Tenement
Houses Have Narrow Escapes.
About o'clock yesterday morning an
alarm Of fire was rung in from the cor
ner of York and George streets and a
few minutes later a second alarm was
sounded from the same place. The fire
was frs discovered in the basement of
the four story brick block at 80 Spruce
street
The interior of the block Is entirely of
wood and the big Railways furnished
excellent draughts for the flames.
Fifteen families reside in the block
which is the property of Mrs. A. Gold
berg, and when the smoke and flames
filled the Railways the screaming and
screeching of the terrified tenants was
appalling.
The flames shut off all means of es-
cape by the front entrance and the peo-
pie in their delirium of fear forgot all
about the fire escapes until the tiremen
arrived. Assistant Chief Perkins and
his driver John Higgins, were among
the first to reach the scene. They as
cended to the third floor by means of
scaling ladders and then made a pas
sageway down the rear fire escape. The
two men carried number of women
and children down the fire escapes and
assisted a number more.
One old man, Bernard Levy. was dan
gerously i'll from the grip, but he was
carried by means Of the fire depart
ment to a place of safety.
A woman was found tied in a bed
Her husband in his excitement tied a
rope round her body with the intention
Of lowering her to the ground, and only
the presence and quickness Of the fire.
men saved the woman from suffocation
BY hard work the flames were conf1n-
ed to the building in which it originated
and the total loss will not be much over
$500.

CHESHIRE.

January 13.-At the town meeting
held in the town hall on Monday, jan
uary 5, the question of the school con-

time to come. The next question was

PASSAGE OF DARDANELLES.

Resolute Attitude Of British Embassy
Secures from Porte Privilege for an
Egyptian Navigation Company.
Constantinople, Jan. 13.-The British
embassy here has secured the issue of
an imperial trade granting the Khedi-
vial Navigation company Of Alexandria,
Egypt, the same privileges for its ships,
to go hence through the Dardaneles,
without stopping, as enjoyed by other
companies. The embassy had been agi-
tating the question fer years with no re-
suit until 1t recently ordered the Khedi-
vial steamer El-Kahira to pass through
the straits without stopping.
When the porte was notified of the
mbassy's action an trade was promptly
issued, just before the steamers depart
ure, granting the company the privilege
required.

THE CHRISTIAN FIR
FRATERNAL

Some time since in a note regarding
the issuance of The Christian Frater-
nal Union of Topeka. Kansas, it was
inadvertently stated or implied that the
company which issues policies only to
Christians and total abstainers, dispens-
ed with a medical examination as pre-
liminary when considering applicants
for insurance in the company. On ex-
animation into the subject we find that
the company is as rigid in the matter
Of medical examination of applicants as
any order or old line company in Amer
lea. The Christian F:aternal unions
plans have been adopted only after the
most thorough critical examination and
comparison of the methods of successful
insurance organizations the world over
and are considered as approximating
