the burning of the General Slocum is
nothing at all. AS long as the laws are for
the strong and weak we shall be safe, but
should the idea become general that the
law is for the weak and that the strong
are immune from the law, we shall have
lawlessness and nothing but strife
So much for the disaster from the view
point of the citizen. Mr.. Smith asked his
hearers to view the burning from a reli-
gious standpoint.
In the disaster he pointed an illustration
of the mistaken estimate of what Is good
and what is evil, of what is a curse and
what is blessing. He told the story of
two little ones who crossed the gangplank
Just as the boat was leaving. He pictured
how happy they were. He told of the little
girl who cried because she just missed the
boat IF she had known" he said, "she
would have fallen down on her knees on
that platform and thanked God for saving
her life
In the disaster he saw eXemplified two
kinds of human nature-heroism and self
sacrifice, ghouls and thieves, and the rich
man who floated among the dead in his
yacht without turning to lend hand.
Again he pointed out how unexpectedly
death comes. Even in that religious party,
he said, many there were who had not
made proper preparations to meet their
Master.

TROUBLE OVER FILING CASE.
Commissioners Decline to Sustsin in
Objection Raised.

The Commissioners have declined to sus-
tain the objections made by E. E. L. Tay-
lor, manager of the library bureau, rela-
tive to the insertion in the specifications Of
certain detailed description of a fling cab
net proposed to be purchased by the Dis
trict for the use of the board of education
Mr.. Taylor declared that by infinitely de-
scrlbing in the specifications the kind of
cabinet desired the officials had excluded
his company from competing with another
manufacturer in furnishing a filing cabi-
net for the board of education.
In reporting on the complaint of Mr.. 1ay-
lor, Secretary Rodrick of the board of edu-
cation says:
1T is true, stated by Mr.. Taylor that
the specifications describe the goods of a
particular manufacturer, because the stack
was found TO be especially adapted to our
purpose. 1t was never intended to shut
out any dealer from bidding, nor do l be-
lieve that this has been done, for last win
ter requisition was made for twelve stacks
of exactly the same specifications, which
were bid on by the library bureau, and, be-
ing the lowest bidder, 1t was awarded the
contract. If Mr.. Taylor could bid on and
furnish twelve stacks without objecting to
the specifications then, l cannot see why
he should object to furnishing one now
The Commissioners will take no further
action in the matter. Mr.. Taylor will be
informed of the statement of Mr.. Rodrick.

CHIEF BELT OBJECTS.
Should Not Change Fire Escape on
Jefferson School

A number of citizens residing in the
ne!shborhood OF the Jefferson School have
recently made protest to the Commission
ers against the erection Of the kirker-
Bender fire escape on the west side of the
building, and request that the escape be
removed to the south side or rear portion
of the structure. In reporting adversely
on the request of the citizens. Chief En-
gineer William T. Belt today made the fol-
lowing statement to the Commissioners:
Pursuant to.a recent act of Congress
providing for fire extinguishers and fire
escapes for the school buildings. and by
direction of your honorable board. Mr.. A.
NJ Lawson, inspector of fire escapes, and l
visited the various schools OF the Districe
for the purpose Of ascertainfng which one
was in most need of such protection and
after a careful examination of the build
ings we recommended that the escapes be
erected on the JEFFERSON School bulidlng,
which recommendation was approved by
your honorable board. The escape was rec
commended on this building for the follow
Ing reasons: ,o~

by a rapidly burning fire that occurred
about o'clock one Sunday morning, ana
should such fire occur there now curing e
school hours, without fire escapes there Is
no telling the number of lives that would be

and whose ages range from nVe 10 nlteeh

fires occur on the first floor and inmates
are required to go to the upper floors to
make their escape 1 think 1t very i'm
portant that escapes be erected outside OF
the building at points easy Of access for
the protection of these children.
THE fire escape as located Is easy OF

and to place them as requested by the peti-
TONERS would require the little ones in the
front portion of the building to travel about
fifty or seventy-fve feet through smoke,
gases and flames. I cannot agree with the
petitioners in reference to the unsightliness
of the escape. 1t is a new device and is
quite a novelty and will no doubt attract
quite little attention for week or two,
but after that time it is believed that 1T
will hardly be noticed. l desire to repeat in
this connection that 1t is the best device
that has ever come to my notice for the

THE SLoCUM DISASTER
Subject Of Sermon by Rev. c. Ernest
Smith at st. Thomas.

Rev. C. Ernest Smith, rector of st.
Thomas Episcopal Smith, rector of st.
subject of his morning sermon yesterday
the burning Of the excursion steamer Cen
eral Slocum in New York harbor. Mr..
Smith said IL 1t were true as has been as
serted, that political influence was used to
evade the steamship inspection law, not
only in this instance. but in others, the
American people are brought face to face
with condition compared to which the
burning of the General Slocum is as moth
ing. The rector said he had chosen the
subject of the disaster because he holds
that in the suffering of one member of a
body all others must share
One of the most Sterrible aspects of the
horror in New York harbor was that the
disaster happened to a religious body the
members of ichswerehall known to each
other. In the case OF the burning of the
Iroquois Theater in Chicago, the audience
had gathered from allaiparts of the city
and were strangers to each other. On the
decks of the Slocdm was gathered what
might be termed a large community family
Each day adds to the list of the dead
among the people who were so closely asso-
ciated during life
Mr.. Smith told in brief the story ofhthe
disaster and then turned to the oA'ce
which he said might never be known He
hoped 1t was an accident. AS to other de-
tails of the occurrence, however, there
seemed TO De no DOUBT, Tor IL Is commonly
asserted that the fire hose was rotten the
life preservers filled with sawdust the
boats fastened down by wire, while possibly
the boilers were old.
"And that is not ALL, continued the rector
There had just been an inspection of the
boat. OF this I am not certain-I do not
know about this-but 1t Is said that 1t 10 very
difficult to enforce the law where great cor
porations are concerned Triumphing over
the law is wealth and influence If such
is the case, let me say this brings us face

Tobacco Prices Firm, Market Sluggish

A dispatch from Petersburg. Va, last
night says: The sales of loose tobacco at
the warehouses in Petersburg for the past
week have been Insignificant. for the reason
that the week has nearly finished UP the
crop for 1903. All that now remains to be
sold is remnants of lots that the growers
have in their barns
At Lynchburg the receipts for the week
were quite light. being only 244,000 pounds.
as against 100000 of the week previous, or
a decrease of over 10000 pounds.
At Danville tobacco sales during the
week were small. One reason for this is
that harvest time Is at hand and farmers
are presumably busy in saving wheat, and
when not engaged in that work are taking
advantage of the favorable conditions for
