Three Business Places at
Rush Hin Burned
Out.

Rush Hill was visited by a big
fire at about 1 o'clock last Satur-
day morning.
Tom MorHis, ia. GoOlsbay and
l.. w. Roberts, the postmaster,
were the big losers. Goolsbay had
a number of new buggies stored
in his building and only saved one
out of the lot. Tom Morris lost
all the contents of his restauran t.
l.. w. Roberts saved the postof-
fee and government property.
The fire threatened the Who'll e
business portion of the town at
one time, but everybody found a
bucket, and it was a fight with
water against fire. j c. Maxwell
furnished a number of barrels of
salt and this helped greatly in
keeping down the flames.
The fire was quite a loss to the
little town, but alf are facing the
calamity bravely.

THE ALIEN IDEA OF VOTING.
Foremost Consideration Is What Is
Going to Be Paid for
the Vote.

Clinton Scollard, the poet, mar
rated the other day an incident
that does not speak very well for
modern politics, says the New
York Tribune.
a friend of mine" said Mr..
Scollard, lis the principal of a city
school. He gathered the school
children before him in the Assem-.
bly, room one day last month, and
be told them that he wanted them
to VOTE on a national flower.
France has a national flower
he said. 1T is the lily. England's
national howcris the rose. Japan's
is the chrysanthcmum; but we
we of this great big land Of Amer.
ica-have no national flower at all
Little slips of paper are TO be
handed about now, and each of YOU
is TO vote for the flower that you
think best suited for Americas
national emblem
THE Youngsters began to think
earnestly, and the paper slips were
distributed. Back near the door,
however, a little Italian boy was
all this time making a good deal OF
disturbance. He seemed to be ar
guing heatedly with the boys
around him-seemed to be dissuad.
ing them from some course or
other.
"My friend noticedthe noise. He
called before him one of the Ital.
ian boys neighbors, and he asked
what the trouble back there was.
"'Why,' was the answer, 'Pietro
doesn't want any of us to vote yet,
and he says he isn't going to vote
vet himself. He says people never
vote till they find out how much
they are to be paid"

of DR.. VarnOn.

4. Hughes received a draft for
the amount of insurance carried by
the late DR.. c. Y. Varnou, in the

early last Friday morning, and as
will be seen by the receipt pub
lished below, Miss Kate Narnon,
who is the beneficiary of this GER
, tificate. has received the money
due on said certificate of insurance
The payment was witnessed by the
local President of the Society, Vic
tor Victor This is quick work
but this society is known for Just
that kind of promptness in all
eases. No order, according to
membership, has more per capita
reserve fund than the X. l.. and

promptly as this one has been. BY
special dispensation Mexico COun-
ell, No. 90l, will for the month of
August at least, receive members
without fee, tho the regular fee
for joining is $500. Men and
women, from IS to - years old,
are received on same terms. The
applicant is required TO pay 81 for
medical examination under this
special offer, but if said applicant
does not pass medical examination
satisfactorily, the 81 is returned
to the applicant, an act that no
other society does. The State
Insurance Commissioners report
shows the knights and Ladies of
Security to be in the front rank of
fraternal insurance societies, and
those eligible to membership, and
who want reliable and cheap IN
sruance, cannot do better than to
make application to A. Hughes at
once. Mexico Council has seven

ney for the Kansas City district and is a
strong candidate for the nomination of Sen

CockreI He was in Washington few
DAYS ago and called on the President. 1t is
understood that at that time the position
was offered him and Major warner de-
clined positively to take it. The President
was very anxious that Major Warner should
take the place, however, it is said. and
asked him to take the matter under con-
sideration. 1t is declared by Major War
ner's friends that he will not accept the

hoped to remain. He thanked all his sub
ordinates for the faithful service they had
rendered the government during his term

he deeply appreciated this work of the

little memento for each of those whose serv-
ice was particularly faithful. which would
be sent to them. Mr.. Ware left the city this
morning about IL o'clock for Topeka, Kan,

Your repor, of my remarks is as follows
President Tucker spoke against the res
olution and said the Commissioners esti-
mates had been so largely reduced that he
thought action should be deferred until

While / am unable to repeat my words
precisely. I endeavored to state plainly
that while ! was heartily in favor of in
creasing the salaries of our ill-paid teach
ers to amounts commensurate with their
services and on an equitable basis, as pro-
posed in the resolution, owing to the fact
that the Commissioners estimates were to

Naval Tug Mohawk Sunk.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NORFOLK, Va, December 15-The big
naval tug Mohawk, used as passenger
and general utility steamer at the Nor
folk navy yard. sank last night while lying
at her wharf and is now on the bottom OF
the Elizabeth river. There were no fatali-
ties. The tug, it is said, sank as q result OF
the rusting out of the valve through which
salt water was supplied from the river to
her condensers. Others conjecture that a
valve was accidentally left open. The real
cause will not be known until the vessel
is raised and an official naval Investigation
Is held. Efforts are already on foot at the
navy yard to raise the Mohawk. The sunk
en- vessel was one of those purchased by
the government from private concerns dur
ing the Spanish war. She was formerly the
tug Fowler.
