BIG MINNEAPOLIS FIRE
Business Houses and Valuable Con-
tents Destroyed,
FIREMEN FIGHT HARD
Blaze, Which Had Its Origin In a
Large Mercantile Establishment,
Did Damage Estimated at
Several Millions.

Minneapolis, Dec. 14.-Fire broke out
In the photograph supply house of the
o. H. Peck company on Fifth street
south, at 80 o'clock Tuesday night
and spread to adjoining buildings and
caused loss estimated at between S3,-
100000 and 100000 The Peck build
ing was entirely Quilted, while the six
story furniture house of Boutell Bros
one of the largest establishments of
its kind in the northwest, was ruined
and number of smaller buildings
were also destroyed.
For a time the best part of the re-
tail district OF the city was threat
ened, and the firemen seemed power
less to stay the onrush of the flames,
which were driven by a high wind
from the north. BY allowing the build
ings already on fire to burn themselves
out, the fire fighters had the confla-
grafton fairly under control at 2
o'clock Wednesday morning.
Fireman Jacob Miller of the salvage
corps was killed by falling into an ele-
vator shaft. Another salvage corps
man was killed by coming in contact
with a live wire. Leon Kirkoff, a fire.
man, was badly burned.
Following are some Of the losses:
Boutell Bros. building, 100000:
stock, $4,000. Nearly covered by in

TO BE IMPEACHED.
House Decides to Take This Action
In the SWayne Case.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Sitting as
grand jury, the house of representa-
tives, with almost full membership
after devoting more than five hours to
discussion, adopted a resolution pro-
viding for the impeachment of Judge
Charles Swayne of the Northern dis
trict of Florida for high crimes and
misdemeanors."
The case against the respondent was
set out by Mr.. Palmer of Pennsylvania,
chairman of the sub committee of the
judiciary, which heard the evidence in
the case. He carefully dissected the
evidence bearing on each of the speci-
fications and said that if it were found
that Judge Swayne had done we'll he
should be vindicated but If he had
done i'll he should be sent to trial
where his excuses and apologies may
or may not receive consideration" He
was followed by Messrs. Clayton of
Alabama, Powers OF Massachusetts,,
Henry of Texas, and Lamar of Florida,
each OF whom, in most vigorous terms,
advocated Impeachment.
Following the adoption of the I'm
parchment resolution. provision was
made for appointment of five members
TO notify the senate OF the lmpeach-
ment and for committee of seven to
present the case to the senate.
These proceedings were the first of
their kind since the impeachment in
1875 of General w. w. Belknap, who
was secretary OF war in President
Grants cabinet,

oI.Inhomn Honermoons.

''The honeymoon, as the term usual
" implies says the Enterprise of Mu-
tual. Okla, ''is about as scarce in this
section as snOwballs in August. We do
not mean to convey that our people
never get married, for weddings are
getting of such common occurrence
that the boys forget to serenade the
contracting party any longer.
when one of our young couples get
married they do not spend a month
honeymOoning, as is the custom I'm
the east, but they settle down to the
routine of life with the one harmoni-
GUS purpose of building up a comfort
able and happy home. Instead of
'spooning' around over the country, at
tracing the attention Of everybody,
looking slckeningly lOyable and calling
each other all kinds of sweet little
'chestnuts,' the newly married may be
found at work the next day following
the nuptials. 1t may be the bride will
put out big washing, while the other
half will be found plowing corn and
carrying water simultaneously"

Joseph.s wen.

At Dothan, in upper Palestine, is
pool which has refreshed the traveller
for centuries. 1t is the well of Joseph.
Its enyirOns form a dreary enough
prospect-above it a low, insignificant
hill. upon whose summit cluster few
miserable mud huts, and at the base
is the sordid anachronism Of a puthng
steam mill, while away from 1t
stretches in all directions the faint
toned. almost hueless, expanse of the
Syrian landscape, long reaches OF
palest blue and gray and yellow with
only an occasional blotch of brilliant
color in the foreground. Dreary and
waste and sad. indeed, is the scene to
the eyes of flesh, but to the eyes OF
the spirit that squat, bald hill be-
comes a veritable Mount Of Visions
visions n thousand times more real
and vivid than the spectacle Of mud
huts and steam mill and rocky wastes

stnten Ont Of .Citlea.

Periodically some one suggests that
New York or Chicago or Philadelphia
be separated from the state Of which
It is a part and be allowed to have a
state government of its own. AS 1T
was about time that the suggestion
should be renewed, some one has re-
Gently proposed that the state of Phil
adeIphia be carved out Of Pennsylva-
mia. The plan Is not taken seriously
Indeed. it is regarded with less con-
Germ than the proposal made in 1861
by Fernando Wood. then mayor OF
New York. that that city recede from
the Union and join the Southern Con
federacy Although there is little pros
pect for state of Chicago on state
OF Philadelphia, there are many prece-
dents for the division of states. Maine
was originally district Of Massachu-
sets. and Vermont was part of New
York. Kentucky, Ohio. Indiana, Hi
nois and West Virginia owe the greater
part if not all Of their area TO Nlr-
ginia, so Virginia might be called the
mother of states as well as the mother
of presidents. Tennessee was cut on
from North Carolina. and Alabama and
Mississippi were carved out OF Geor-
Ria. North and South Dakota entered
the Union as separate states, although
as a territory they were a single po-
Iitical unit.-YOuth's Companion.

Dnneers of the streets.

Fatal street accidents average al
most exactly alike as to numbers in
New York and Chicago-One day. In
London cab accidents kill almost as
many people as surface car accidents
do in the borough of Manhattan, New
York, but they do not approach Brook
Iyn's record along that line.
Brooklyn's trolleys are juggernauts.
New York's are much more carefully
handled. Chicago's are worse than
New York's, but not so bad as Brook
lyn's, while Boston and Philadelphia,
where the narrower and crOOkeder
streets would seem to make the run
ming of cars at reasonable speed es-
pecially hazardous and difficult, sll1w
a much smaller number of deaths in

Alaska Scenery.

Juneau is the largest town in Alaska
and one of the most beautifully situ-
ated. 1t reposes at the foot of an enor-
nous wall of rock which from the wa
ter looks almost perpendicular, with its
scattered houses standing out against
a dark background of spruce and hem
lock. This view, indeed. affords a char
acteristic sample of Alaskan scenery
pine clad mountains capped with snow;
grand. rocky gorges with grassy slopes
on which the wild sheep Craze;
swampy forest, through which the
moose crash on approach Of the hunter,
and an interminable beach bordered
with dense scrub. In some respects the
scenery reminds one of Norway.

a M,IIiner's Balance sheet.

The other day 1 saw published the
balance sheet of a limited liability mil
liners establishment. If l remember
rightly the debts unpaid were set down
at about 10000. By the amount Of
credit in this one establishment one
can Judge Of the enormous sum owed
to all milliners by their customers col
lectively. 1t is well known that heavy
commissions are offered to ladies who
introduce customers and that many la
dies are not above accepting them.
Many women incur liabilities with mil
liners that they are well aware they
cannot pay or can only pay by exceed
ing the amount which the husband is
desirous should be spent by his wife.
The idea that all this should be encour-
aged by special legislation to facilitate
the collection of milliners' bills could
hardly have occurred to any one but a
milliner. They will find, however, that
to get a bill through the house of COM
mons with this object is a good deal
more difficult than allowing women to
run up bills.-LOndOn Truth.

a NEW EMPLOYMENT.
-. Telephone Clerk often an l"-
The liant Man of Business.

Vne Telephone Clerk often an I'm
,ortant Man of Business.
u-hon the first telephone message
,ront over the wire, just about twenty
~ voors ago. not even the inventor
-ohoblv realized that he was opening
:, entirely novel business opportunity
eor hundreds Of brainy young Ameri-
oons Such, however, has turned out to
bo the case, for, as the telephone has
hacome part and parcel of every large
American business, there has grown
mn new class of clerks to take care
Of orders and inquiries coming over
the telephone.
The telephone clerk, as he is gener-
aIIv called. does everything from pick
inc ont fruit in city market for a Gus
toner several miles distant to placing
a car load Of merchandise on a trans
continental freight train. Naturally he
Is often one of the best paid men in his
EMPLOYERS service, for his work de-
mands very special and detailed knOwl-
edge, together with personal tact,
ouickness Of perception and thorough
familiarity with the use of the little
instrument OF which so few people un-
derstand the inner workings.
The first telephone clerk saw an op-
portunity to increase the value set on
his services by answering calls eff
GENTLY. He began trying to see how
well business could be done through
the new medium, and as soon as his
customers found they could get waited
on by telephone quite as quickly and
satisfactorily as If they made trip
to the store in person many of them
preferred this easier way of market
ing and shopping. This was the begin
ming of what one of the Bell officials
called the telephone door" of modern
business-a way of handling invisible
customers that has since been adopted
by practically every large mercantile
house in the country and is utilized by
more and more of the smaller ones ev-
cry year. Each establishment has sew
eral telephones. the large retail houses
Of New York, Boston, Chicago and
Philadelphia employing hundreds of
them in their different departments and
an equal number of clerks who are ex-
perts in the handling of orders by
wire.
The general public, Of course, never
asks for the telephone clerk, because
it knows nothing whatever about him,
but the girl who manages the switch
board, say, of a large department stOr,
connects prosperity
customer with the telephone clerk VIII
is most familiar with the article whicl
the customer wishes to order. SOmt
kinds of undertakings, indeed, the tel
ephone clerk has completely revOlu
for example, the modern
operation of a railroad freight office,
where a large proportion of the bust
ness is now conducted entirely in this
fashion. And in hundreds of compara-
lively small enterprises in different
parts of the country the telephone
clerk has become a recognized feature
Of a certain Importance.
