tenement house when the flames were dis
covered. When the alarm was sounded
through the house the men and women,
some of the latter with babies in arms,
other with little boys and girls clinging to
the night clothes Of their mothers, ran to
the. hallway. There they were met with
great clouds of choking smoke while tie
flames were rapidly closing in about them.
Before the fremen arrived police reserves
from nearby station had rescued many
persons from the blazing building.
When the 6remen came human lines
were formed from the fire escapes and the
screaming women and children were low
cred to the pavement. The flames burst
from windows all about them, and the
clothes of many of them were, burned from
their bodies. Their hair was singed and
their bodies burned.
At the same time fremen with scaling
LADDERS had reached the roof aud were
carrying down to safety the frenzied 40
men and children who had been driven
from The blazing room.
Many persons unable to reach either
roof or fire escape were taken from wiz
dows through which the flames already
were beginning to pour.
Five children were found huddled in a
blazing room by fireman. Their night
clothes were burning, their hair burned
from their heads and their bodies blis-
tered. They were taken to a hospital in
a serious condition. Their rescuers suf-
fered severely from the heat and smoke.
A few moments later three more chill
dren, all Of them unconscious, we're found
in the upper part Of the building and car
ried out by the 6remen. AS the rescuers
rushed. to the street three other 6remen,-
each bearing the dead body of child,
came down the fire escape from the fifth
floor. The body Of Mrs. Glass was re-
covered soon afterwards.
While the fire was at its height fire was
discovered in hardware store in Graham
avenue and in Grand-street tailor shop.
within few blocks OF the tenement fire.
These we're quickly subdued without SER
ious loss.

TENEMENT-HOUsE FIRE IN NEW YORK
Four Persons Perish, a Score Injured,
and a Hundred In Danger.

New York, Oct. l7.-Four lives were
lost, nearly score Of persons were injured
and the lives of more than 100 others we're
endangered in an early morning tenement
house fire in the Williamsburg section of
Brooklyn today. With one exception ali
the dead are children, and of eight who
were 80 badly hurt that they were remov-
ed to a hospital the Oldest is l4-year-old
girl.
Incendiaries are thought to be respon-
sibIe for the fatal fire, and this theory is
strengthened by the fact that while the
firemen were at work on the blaze alarms
were turned in for two other fires in the
immediate neighborhood.
Twelve families, comprising l20 persons
were asleep In the big ive-story double

of ladies and bows were in the audience
and perhaps one hundred and fifty
voters-a number ofthese being Republi-

Governor was introduced by Mr. E L.
Greever. His first act was to try to ex-
plain the letter which he wrote about the
constitutional convention, in which he
declared that the new constitution shou i

BIG DAY IN
CLINTWOOD
4 Hot Political Debate Between Repub-
ncan and Democratic
Speakers,
4 LARGE CROWD WAS IN ATTENDANCE
L. p. Summers and ]. L. Gleayes Rep
resented the Republicans and Joseph
Z. Willard and 8. W. Williams
the Democrats.

A large crowd of the citizens of Dicken-
SON county assembled in the court house
at Clintwood on last Monday to hear a
Joint debate between speakers Of the Re-
publican party and the Democratic party.
]. L. Gleaves and L. P. Summers chsm-
rioned the Republican cause and Joseph
i. Willard and Samuel w. Williams the
Democratic. The debate covered four
hours and was warm one from start to
finish. Mr.. GIeaves opened the discussion
aad he discussed the tariff and other ques-
tons with great fluency and force, his re-
marks being treated with frequent cheers
by the Republicans and few Interrupt
tons by an ardent Democrat in the crowd
Who seemed to be greatly disturbed with
the idea that the tariff was tax. Mr..
Gleaves used these several Interruptions
to more strongly enforce the points be was
making and won heartier cheers from bis
supporters.
Lieutenant Governor Willard followed
MIR. Gleaves. He is nice gentleman, but
knows very little about politics and politi-
cll conditions and knows less about telling
what he does know. He undertook to
discuss the tariff, but made great break.
Mr.. Gleaves had asserted that the tariff
was no tax on the consumers in Dicken-
son and Mr.. Willard assented to that
proposition, thus getting in conflict With
the leaders of bis party, such as Governor
Montague, MIR. Tucker and Mr.. Wysor
who have been going around and singing
the old Democratic song about the tariff
being heavy and unequal tax upon the
people. Mr.. Willard said he objected to
q protective tariff because it did not Inn
rose q tax on the masses of the people,
the consumers. and for that reason it was
q violation of the doctrine of equal rights
TO all and special privileges to none. Mr..
Willard made another serious blunder by
sneeringly saying that he could not un-
derstand how any white man at the South
could be Republican.
The first thing Mr.. Summers did when
he went upon the stand was to. reply to
the above sneering remark ofMr. Willard.
Mr.. Summers said it was piece Of pre-
sumption in the son Of an officer in the
Yankee army who had helped TO conquer
the South, to free the negro ard give him
suffrage to come down here and under
take to dictate to Confederate soldiers and

"The check was returned. accompanied
By our respects. The editorial in ques'
ton is headed, Colonel Slemp" and says
a good many pretty hard things about
that gentleman. AS to the truth of the
charges, we are not prepared to express
an opinion. AS to the good we have been
doing the Democratic cause-well, we are
glad to learn of that fact, as we bad not
heard it before. But that's that.
The point we are driving at is, the DEM
ocratic Congressional Committee is trying
to corrupt the press of the Ninth District
by furnishing FUNDSl 1--WE take it for
granted that other newspapers besides the
Free Press have received checks.) And
for all we know, the Republican Con-
greesional Committee may be doing the
same thing If political affairs have come
to such pass as this, God save the coun-
try.
We hope every check sent out has been
returned, done up in letter that will
open the eyes of the Chairman. Other
wise, all this talk about free n ress is
bosh. No newspaper is free 30 long as it
is paid to support platform and candi'
date. 1t occupies no higher moral plane
than the man who makes merchandise Of
bis vote.
We do not know if Mr.. Wysor, the
Democratic candidate is cognizant OF the
checks being sent out to newspapers. His
record is not one of crookedness, nor do
we believe be would allow this kind Of
thing in bis campaign. He is an admir-
able gentleman in most respects and over
reaches his opponent In point of true
worth.
The press of this good section should
let both political parties understand thar
it is yet uDbought and will remain SO until
political parties are no more. Lit fails to
do this, it steps down from its high call
ing"
The above appeared in the editorial
column of the Norton Free Press in its
issue of the 18th inst. 1t elbows the ques-
tionabe methods that are being used by
the Democratic organization in this dis
trict to secure the defeat of Colonel slemp.

And compare prices with
what you are paying and
the economy of buying
at the Cash Store is very
evident. Here is where
your money goes the
farthest because profits
are at their lowest. No
bills but your own to pay
and no extra profits TO
make up. One price to
all and that is the lowest
cash price. "Quick Sales

Chicago Inter Ocean.
THE extreme sensitiyeness Of the
weather plant enables US to predict
great atmospheric or seismic disturb
ances for twenty-eight days in adj
vance, nearly to the hour, and to- To-
calize the events. The more serious
the event threatens to be the surer
and more reliable the prediction, be-
cause the reaction of the plant in-
creases in strength with the nagni-
tude Of the disturbance in the sun"
This striking statement was made
by Baron Fridland Won Nowack, the
discoverer Of the "abrus precatorius,
or weather plant" to a distinguished
scientific audience at the Society OF
Arts this week. The gathering was
arranged by the Foreign Press asso-S
citation in London.
Twenty years ago. said the baron.

pea-like seeds resembling corals, with
a small. dark spot on the top. AS an
ardent student Of botany. I planted
the seeds, and for four months waited
anxiously for these to sprout
II was near giving It up, when, on
inspecting one Of the seeds, I found
the dark spot considerably enlarged.
L WO IilOULIlS later d Tiny green hliOD
peeped out Of the mold.
Il afterward recognized it as a trop-
ical plant indigenous to India and
parts Of South America
Baron Nowack then described how,
to his surprise, the twigs and leaflets
Of the plant kept in continuous move
ment. At last he found the electricity
in the atmosphere with its changes
accounted chiefly for the strange be-
havior OF the plant Gradually he
learned to predict the weather un-
erringly two or three days in advance.
The correctness Of these forecasts
attracted for the first time general at
tention in Vienna, when the Emperor
Francis Joseph and King Edward
(then Prince OF Wa1es) repeatedly In
spected the plants. and evinced the
greatest interest in the discovery.

pected; the more downward the worse
