Going to a Fire fin China.

Chicago News.
 T was in Pelxing," said an American tourist, when a fire broke out a few doors below the house in which was lodging, and at the first alarm I rush ed out and into the burning structure to see what could be saved. I wag at once arrested, and later on discovered the Chinese way of fighting a fire.
 "A policeman first required an affi- davit of the head of the household to the effect that he did not deliberately set the blaze. and for this purpose took him before an official half mile away. A second was stationed to see that no one removed any furniture un- til the papers had been made out.
 After a lapse of forty minutes the firemen arrived. They looked at the burning house and decided that 1t was on ire After much argument 1t was further agreed that it would be a wasse of water to try to put out the flames TWO members, who erected ladder and climbed part way ups were duly re- proved for too much zeal, and after the name, age and habits of the. owner had been taken the fire department retired in good order.
 As the flames were unfindered the house burned to the ground, and when the owner returned he was beaten by his neighbors for endangering their property. I was held in durance vile for two hours and then fined 40 cents" ]"

The Servant Problem

The SouLnern rArm A1dSazine ad- Vises that wnILe people snOulu pc train cd tor servants In the southern country because of the worLnlessnesS ot negroes as nousnoid help, declaring that LnIs worthless Is ever on the ln- crease. It says:
 Ihe tune may come when the ne- groes snan practically disappear from wnILe huusehVIus. IL will De d sad day for the negro when that occurs, aS the contarct Tn the housenold IS aDout the last point where the negro race has opportunity to be hene1lred by the superior race. But before the final separation is mode something more must be done than establishing train ing schools Tn domestic science; that is to say, formal training schools. For the best school for the white girl to learn domestic science is in some- ones kitcnen or bedroom. The fact that negroes have so long monopo- lized household service Is bar against any revolutionary substitution of whites-for them, especially native whites. It has brought household sedvice into disperute and has robbed the old word servant of much of its beauty. When It is recalled that the motto of the Prince of Wales trainsla- ted Into English is T serve,' the strength and nobility of the word ser want may readily be appreciated.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1904
A Loss TO THE COUNTRY.

Among all the other regretable re- suits of the late election hardly one will cause more disappointment than the reversal of BIissourfs political status. It is not so much the loss of & State which was considered firmly an- chored in the Democratic column, or the loss of the electoral vote, for neither of these is beyond remedy in the future. What all Southern men and all Democrats view with profound regret is the retiring of Senator Francis Marion Cockrell who will, when he retires next March, have rounded out thirty years of honorable service in that body. The Hartford courant. Republican as it is. says;
 This is one result of Tuesdays over turn in Missouri on which we cannot look with unmixed satisfaction. Ills Democratic politics aside, Mir Cockrell Is the sort of man the country needs and doesn't always get--in its public life. He has been a very diligent and useful Senator he has kept a close and careful watch on the public business lazier or less methodical Senators long ago contracted the habit of applying to him for information He will be missed in the chamber, and in Wash ington.
 This is simple justice from a political enemy towards one of the best and truest members of the Senate of the United States; man who has been true to his party, his section and his eouS- try, who has always stood by his con victions of duty, and who will be miss ed as more pretentious men would not be. Who will succeed him cannot now be foretold, but he will be a Republi- can, and in all probability a member of the Republican machine of that State. The success of Folk was a triumph of honesty and a distinct gain to Missouri, but setting aside Senator Cockrell will be 8 loss to the country. To this extent Missouri has discredited herself.

A FINE MEETING.

-.
 The meeting in this city yesterday in the Interest of the improvement of the Alabama River. was well attended, andy1udeing by the earnestness and en- thusiasm manifested much good is to follow from 1t. There was a good representation of solid. substantial men from many points along the river, and they will return to their homes en- couraged to make still further efforts to secure depth of water in the river that will permit navigation every month in the year.
 We do not believe that there is any river of the importance of the Alabama, in any Eastern or Western State of which 1t can be uuthfuiiy said that navigation is suspended five and six months at time. because of lack of water, which trouble could be removed by proper work. We do not charge this to sectionalism. but to lack of in- terest on the part of those most in- terested. Congressman Bowie made a strong point when he said this was the first meeting ever held in the State. whose sole object was the improvement of the Alabama River. The large ap- propriations for the Tennessee, the SCoosa and the Tombigbee followed largely attended conventions and work of committees before Congress, The same result will come from persistent effort on the part of those who depend largely upon the Alabama River for transportation facilities.
 The Advertiser calls special attention to the valuable speeches that were made at the meeting yesterday, pub lished at some length in our news re- port. The good work has commenced, and it is fortunate that Senator Pettus and Congressman Bowie. Bankhead. Burnett and Wiley were present when the ball was set in motion. We feel satisfied that Senator Morgan and other representatives will aid in securing for this great water highway the modest sum which Is needed to do so much good for so many people. .t

DeaIinr w,th Medical Quacks.

Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
 In discussing quacks before the Society of Medical Jurisprudence in New York city the other evening Champe S. Rogers, who has for five years been the society's counsel, said that in that time 500 convictions of medical charlatans have been secured, $90.O0O in fines been collected and an aggregate of twenty years imprison- ment been imposed upon offenders. One peculiar item in the equipment of such quacks in New York city, 1t appears. is the taking of the names of dead phy- sicians of repute and going into prac- tice In some different part of the city. on the chance of being undiscovered; also, said Mir. Rogers, certificates of physicians who have died are frequent ly sold by auction and often prove the most valuable assets his heirs find. Quacks make their money out of the poorest people and he mentioned one such who has made $200,000 In a year.

Good Out Of the War in Asia.
RaItimnra SI

Baltimore sun.
 1t is an i'll wind that blows no good, runs the proverb. Perhaps good may yet come out of the bloody war between Russia and Japan. It is not improba- ble that the frightful slaughter in Manchuria has made the statesmen of the old world and of the new reflect more seriously than ever before upon the horrors. the inhumanity, the des- tructiveness of war. If, however, the conflict in the Far East has not made statesmen and rulers think more deeply upon the subject it has at least stirred the hearts of the people in every land and made them revolt against such carnage. It is no exaggeration to say that in every country the movement for international arbitration has been strengthened by the Russo-Japanese conflict. In Japan there is Q reaction which finds expression not in protest against the government, but in pro- found sorrow over the loss of many thousands of sturdy subjects of the mikado. That the war Is not popular in Russia has been asserted time and again by students of public opinion in the empire.

LihernI i'm Ills Gifts.

Although J. Pierpont Morgan is cred ited with gifts to philanthropic enter prises which reach $1.00o.0o0 a year, his name does not appear on any of the ten buildings in New York city which were built with his money. The great est secrecy surrounds his charitable work, which is much more extensive than is generally supposed. As a mat ter of fact, Mir. Morgan is well up to- ward the head of the great givers of the world. One of his chief philan- thropies is keeping boys off the street. As vestryman in St. Georges Church in Stuyvesant Square. Manhattan, he has organized a club for this purpose, and out of the club has grown the. New York Trade School. as well as small CT trade school connected with the church. MT. Morgan endowed the first club with S500.000. Among the gifts of MT. Morgan are $1 900. 900 to Harvard College $t.S5O.Ooo for private hos pital in Stuyvesant Sq Rtre, $5O0.000 for the Cathedral of St. 1ohn the Divine, SlOO,0OO for the Young Mems Christian Association, $500,O00 for the Loomis Hospital for Consumptives, $100,O00 for a library in Holyoke, Mass. where his father was born, $125,00U for preserv- Ing the palisades. $350,000 for new parish house and rectory in Stuyvesant Square. s5OO.0OO for the collection of porcelains and $1. 100000 for the Tif- fany gem collection for the Metropoli- tan Museum.

EDWARD NJ. sHEPARD,s VIEW

We have taken occasion more than once in these columns to commend MT. Edward M. Shepard of New York for his ability as a man and his thorough comprehension of the foundation prin- ciples of Democracy. Mentally and in opinions he is direct inheritor from Samuel J. Tilden. His speech deliver ed at Bennington, Vt, during the recent campaign was one of the few singled out by the National Committee for pub- lication in pamphlet form and it was also incorporated in both editions of the campaign book.
 Tn what we are about to quote from him. he refers to a previous public statement he had given out In that statement he emphasized very early in the canvass the importance of fixing upon one issue, at most two. upon which to go to the country. He eVI::

Petty Abuse Grown Great.

 In the campaign now ended the franking abuse has been fragrant. It received general attention at the hands of the press; it ought not to be for gotten by the people Tons of cam paign matter have burdened the mail under the names of Senators and Con gressmen, placed there as certifying that the material and its transmission through the mails free was official business" Every man that gets cam paign matter of this sort has an ob- ject lesson before his eyes that privi- lege intended for the distribution of proper information about the govern ment Is perverted to the use of political parties; that the government is saddled with expense under a hypocritical pre- tense of public business for purely par tisan purposes. It is degrading and is bound to disseminate degraded ideas of government.

Investment in Schools.

BOStCn TranSCrlpl.
 The public school has been the corner stone of our civil and social structure. Whatever of strength weshave attained. whatever advance we have made. have had their origin and their inspiration there. The suggestion that we are aiming too high and spending too much on our schools sounds ominous and re- actionary. We may be spending too much if our system is to be the sport of local politics and the spoil of their manipulators, because that way lies graft and general demoralization but if the funds are honestly employed to make our educational influences the most enlightening and far-reaching possible we can make no better invest ment than to keep on spending and an- nually increasing the amount.

ALL ABOUT NOAH.
ArchaeoIogist Tells of Wonderful Dis
 coveries Recently Made.

1HuIanapOIlS special
 M. V. Willard, archaeologist and dis tiEguished excavator along the Nile. who is now here, declared today that he had discovered the place where Noah built the ark. Willard for year past was engaged in excavations at various places on the Nile, especially at Gizehs in the 'neighborhood of the great pyra- mid of Cheops.
 T have discovered during, the last three years" he said. just where Noah lived. where the ark was built and that Noah built the great pyramid of Khu- flu, known as the pyramid of Gizeh. Noah was the greatest king this world has ever seen. He was the greatest of the Egyptian Pharaohs, not except ing Rameses the Great.
 Noah was a millionaire. The bibli- cal account of the flood gives no clew as to where Noah lived or where his ship carpenters were at work for 120 years constructing the ark. Noah was 500 years old when the flood came. He must have ueen a millionaire and a man of great authority. He built the ark at his own expense. Such boat in these times would cost more than half million dollars.
 Noah built the great pyramid dur ing the earlier part of the fourth Egyp- tian dynasty and not more than 1900 years after God had expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden."
