Buster Brown With Circus.

Buster Brown, Alphonse Gaston, Happy Hooligan and Foxy Grandpa would certainly make great quin- tette. at least, so 3. E. Wallace says, and he backs his opinion by paying five notorious mischief -makers a large sum to travel with the Great Wallace Show.
 These grotesque characters have been impersonated on the stage, but with unsatisfactory results. A great deal better opportunity will be given them to display their eccentric dispositions on the ten-acre exhibition grounds of the Wallace Circus. Happy Hooligan and Foxy Grandpa will be very con- spicuous about the Wallace tents this year. and, with Alphonse and Gaston to assist them in an ostrich hunt in South Africa, very funny time Is expected.
 The South African ostrich hunt will, for convenience. take place on the great hippodrome track of the Wallace Show and it will prove to be the most comical burlesque ever seen under canvass. Then Little Buster Brown and his pup have a lot of funny stunts. along with a jolly crowd of other funny clowns, including the Four Nelsons.
 The Wallace Shows will certainly furnish plenty of genuine and innocent fun for the patrons of that circus when 1t exhibits in Montgon ns ry on Saturday. Octh 1.

FINE HOME BURNED
WOLFF RESIDENCE ON HOLCOMBE
 STREET DESTROYED.
Was Occupied by Alderman Leopcio strnuss, Who Sustained Seri- ous L0ss--HOnse ana
 Contents Insured.


 Fire which was discovered at ll:so o.clock yesterday morning almost com nletely destroyed the house at 21 Hoi- combe Street, owned by Mrs. Lena wolff and occupied by her and the family of Alderman Leopold strauss. and seriously threatened destruction to the houses on both sides of It. which were only saved by hard work by the firemen.
 The Wolff home was completely eutted with fire and water and a great part of the household goods were con- stunned in the flames. The adjacent houses were damaged to small extent by the intense heat which rose out or the roaring flames which were enveI- oping the burning house.
 The house and contents were insured for $11,O00, which well covers the total loss.
 The fire originated in the kitchen roof and had gained considerable head way before 1t was discovered. The fire department responded promptly to the alarm and laid their lines or nose in a hurry, but the flames had gotten too much of a lead on them and the saving of the burning home was well nigh impossible. Several streams were turned on the flames and the hre- mems attention was turned towards saving the adjac ent houses. which had caught fire from burning brands blown by the stiff breeze which Tanned the flames.
 In about half hour the department had the fire under control and shortly afterwards entirely extinguished 1t. Among the household goods lost by Alderman Strauss was silver service that had been presented to him by the members of the City Council on the occasion of his marriage and which he held in great regard. A molten mass of silver was the only indication of the handsome service that was left. The fire attracted a large crowd and the work of the fire department was the subject of much praise.

FOUND DEAD.
In a Burning House-Knife and Gum
 shot Wounds.

Tuskegee News.
 A telephone message from Shorters states that Willie Boyd, son of Mrs. Fannie Boyd, of LaPlace, was killed near there this morning.
 Boyd's body was found under a bed in the burning house of Pinkie Thomas, a negro woman living on the Noble place, and was mutilated by knife and shotgun wounds. His own shot gun was found lying near the body, and it was first supposed that he committed suicide. but the presence of the knife wounds disproves this theory. It is evident that the murderer after hav- ing committed the foul deed. set fire to the house to destroy the traces of the crime. When discovered. the fire was under good headway and the body had been reached by the flames.
 The Thomas woman first gave the alarm and claims that she had been absent from home, and on her return found her house in flames and the body of the murdered man under her bed. She disclaims any knowledge of the killing, but is being held on suspicion.

letter of inquiry to the editors of Deni- ocratic and independent newspapers throughout the Northern and Western States for the purpose of ascertaining the Democratic and independent con. sensus of opinion on this question. went to twenty-three States, and was sent out about ten days ago.
 Answers have so far been received from SIP editors and replies are still coming in at the rate of ten or fifteen daily. Put in tabular form the an- swers to the questions are as follows. 1. Do you favor revision? Yes. 73e. No. 41. Doubtful, 4S.
 2. If so. to what extent? Thorough revision. 522. Doubtful. 1894. unan- swered, 126.
 8. Should raw materials be freef Yes. 52s. In part, e6. Conditional. se. Doubtful. 5s. No. ss.
 4.- Should the tariff be greatly re- duced on trust products sold cheaper to foreigners than to Americans? Yes, 7I3. Abolished entirely. ss. Doubt fnl 33. No. 3s.
 5. Is 1t wise. in your opinion. to make tariff reform an issue In the present campaign7 Yes. 5s1. Doubt- full, go. No, IT.
 6. Should this committee decide, to supply copy for special articles, show ing the evils and abuses of our present tariff, would you care to have it sent to you? Yes, 630. Conditional, 1s. Doubtful. fl. No, 100. Many editors neglected to answ or some of the questions. Many newspa- pers classified as Independent are really strongly partisan Republican newspapers. Nearly all who said mo" ] to the first four questions Indicated by their answers that they were more Re- | publican than independent in their pol. | tiles.
 Quitting the virtually Republican ed- ttors and the few who replied but did not make specific answers. the Denio- cratic and independent editors of the country appear to be almost unani-
 mously in favor of tariff reduction. Nearly all want to curb the trusts by | greatly reducing or by abolishing du-
 ties on trust-made goods. About three-fourths of all favor free raw ma
 terials. Nearly all think the tariff
 should be an issue this year and 2 | large proportion of these think that it
 should be the paramount issue. Near
 ly all are anxious to obtain tarin re-
 form articles for publication in theiy newspapers.
 | Editors usually represent the pre-
 vailing sentiment in their localities
 and the consensus of opinion of the ed-
 itors is almost certain 10 be that of
 the people.
 In the opinion of the Committee on Tarif Reform the demand for tariff res
 vision was never stronger than at present. This demand is about equal | ly strong in all States. The West.
 however, appears to favor more radi-
 cal revision.
