AGRAxD DUKE 70 THE RESCUE.


 The Russians have not yet made much impression on the Japanese. but there Is going to be a change. Russia is going to place a second army in the field, and Grand Duke Nicholas Nich- olaievitch is going to be appointed com mander-in-chief. It is thought that whatever the Grand Duke lacks in mill itary experience and ability as a strat- egist can be supplied by placing at his disposal the most able military advis- CTS of the Russian army. The sugges- ton that Kuropatkin might become chief-of-staff, and thus in fact, if not in name. the real commander of the armies, as Field Marshal von Moltke was the actual commander of the Ger man armies, although nominally only Emperor Williams chief-of-staff, is generally rejected. Grand Duke Nicho- las will not rely upon a single adviser, but on a stan comprising the ablest strategists of the General Staff. who in reality will constitute a board of di- rectors of military operations.
 The sturdy little Japanese will be expected to be scared by the Grand Duke, and to give way before him. But it will not be surprising if they decline to treat him with the respect due his exalted rank. A Grand Duke is a big thing, but he may even have to run to save his grandeur and his hide.

REMARKS BY Rko4Hnn ooFFMAs

REMARKS BY RROTHER GOTHAM
 Some say that the truth Is not to be
 spoken at all times, and 1t isn't spoken
 at all times. But Rev. WiImer Evans
 Coffman, a Methodist minister has
 spoken some words that will seem like
 truth to many to meeting of Method ist ministers at Wilkesbarre, Pennsyl- vania. He described church entertain |ments, suppers and festivals as curse, and a drain on the community, a bur den on the workers and cause of mulch spiritual poverty. And he added: These festivals and entertainments are dead works, because they are used as a means of avoiding larger giving and sacrifice. They appeal to the lower na- ture and motives, of silver and gold. They result from the lack of faith. These are the things the business world seeks. They teach the people to place a low estimate of value upon the ministry of the word and services of the church. They become a sort of trad ing stamp adjunct to the suppers and entertainments. They cause the world to lose respect for the church and weak en it's influence upon the unconverted. They are often the cause of unkind remarks, of jealousy, of mean actions. They rob the community by making the people pay three dollars to do the church one dollars worth of financial good. They teach people extravagance in their personal expenditures.
 Good for Brother Coffman. We hope he will be allowed to live after making such remarks. dI

All the people in the South are not in favor of abusing the negroes. It is cer- tainly time, says the Savannah News, more activity was being displayed by the authorities in many parts of the state in the direction of protecting peaeeable negroes from the attacks of lawless white men who seem to delight in committing crimes of violence with negroes as their victims. It looks very much as if stories about Before Day clubs were manufactured for the pur- pose of having an excuse to commit these crimes"

The old fable of the wind and the
sun and their struggle with the passing
traveller to see which could first induce
him to east aside his cloak is inevitably
called to mind by the effect which
American federation in matters OF re-
ligion and our relative exemption from
anti-Semitism has upon the Sclavic and
German Jews emigrating to this country
and settling here. The wind of ostracism
and persecution which they have so
stoutly and so successfully resisted in
Europe, which has but accentuated their
racial and religious loyalty, here has as
it's substitute the sun of liberty and tol-
Grafton. Under it's blazing yet genial
rays "the process of transformation =
to quote Rabbi Fleischer of Boston
"begins at once The need of making
living brings adult males into unwonted
relations with non-Jews. The children
are afforded the unaccustomed privileges
of public school education and OF
natural association with Gentle children.
The spirit of democracy, the atmos-
phere of America the general air Of
personal freedom-these complete the
process of emancipation.
The reaction is in exact proportion to

far as it maintains it's separate identity
in the great, unprecedented American
amalgam of humanity.
Like most groups of radicals and in
dividualists, working under an, ecclesi-
astical policy which is congregational
and not presbyterial or episcopal, this
wing of American Judaism just now
is feeling the limitations of individual

when emphasis is being put more on So

fellowship rather than on independence.
Hence it is not surprising-in fact, it
would be surprising were it not SOTO

times, paralleled in many of the Chris

ing clergy are always more conservative
than the scholars, are suspicious of them,
and constrained to curb liberty of

rest ultimately with the scholars, who
are prudently and opportunely breaking

comics Where All But Three of
the Deaths Occurred. Practic.
ally No Provision Was Made for
Safety in Case Of Fire.

Chicago, Jan. s.-By their own evil
dence, given before Monroe FuIkerson,
who is conducting the fire department
investigation into the Iroquoie theater
horror, the proprietors oil the theater
showed that worse condition OF affairs
existed than had heretofore been
thought possible.
Will j. Davis, Harry J. Powers and
Thomas J. Noonan, active managers OF
the Iroquois theater were examined by
Mr.. Fnlkerson during the day. All OF
them pleaded ignorance Of any precau-
tions taken to prevent loss of life by
fire at their theater. They admitted
failure to instruct employees in lighting
fire and failure even to provide suita BILE
appliances for use against the flames.
Their statements were cor oborated
by the testimony of twenty employees
OF the theater, none o. whom had ever
been told what to do in case Of fire.
Noenan, who is working manager OF
the theatre under direction of Davis
and Powers, admitted that eleven OF
the theater exits were locked and bolt
cu W. vi tuccC CALLS, lCduluS W lH'
front of the theater on the ground floor,
were locked; three additional exits
leading to the front OF the theater on
the north side of the ground floor were
boledt; three exits on the north side
of the theater from the first balcony
were bolted, and three exits on the
north side OF the second floor were
bolted.
The greatest loss OF life by the fire
was in the first and second balconies,
where hundreds were s1ffocated through
their inability to ge. out were tramped
to death while TRYING to do so. Had
these three exits in each balcony been
available, according to Mr.. Fulkerson,
the loss OF life must have been dimin-
ished.
Noonan declared that no person had
been named by the theater manage
ment to superintend the operation OF
the ventilators in case of fire, and con-
sequently the flames had been permit

failures reported to Bradstreet in the
calendar year 1903, with liabilities of

This marked decrease in number just
two per cent from 1902 and of 8 per
cent from 1901. With the exception
of 1899, the increase over which is A
per cent. the year 1903 shows the
smallest number of failure casualties
reported since 1887. Liabilities, how
ever, owing primarily to the increase
of suspensions of financial institutions,
but also because of the considerable

HALF A MILLION LOSS.
Iowa State Capitol Building Quilted
by Fire.

Des Moines Jan. 6.-Fire Quilted the
northwest wing OF the state capitol
causing an approximate loss Of half a
million dollars. The chamber OF the
house OF representatives. is charred
mass OF debris, and cannot be repaired
in time for the approaching session of
tho legislature The fire. which start.
ed about 10 a. m. was not extinguished
until s o'clock in the evening. The
supposition is that the fire started
either from lighted candle carelessly
left burning or from an electric light
wire.
The FIRE department was unable to
fight the flames effectively on account
OF the height o. the building and ele-
walton Of the capitol site. The only
thing possible was to cut off the prog
ress Of the flames. The valuable vol
umes of the state library, located near
the fire, were removed and the state
Offices we're hastily emptied. The
funds of the state treasurers' office we're
loaded on a wagon and carried down
town to bank for deposit.

beautiful in the United States 1t was
