Panic I'm an Asylum.

New York, Jan. ia blaze which
for a time threatened to do vast damage
and as a result of which a panic of small
size was caused among the inmates of
st. Joseph's Orphan Asylum and the
House of the Good Shepherd, destroyed
the five story brown stone residence at
SAC East 80 street, this morning, and
did heavy damage to an apartment
next door. The fire started in the
brown stone residence on the
fourth floor and spread rapidly.
Before the fire was under control it
looked as if the orphan asylum and the
House of the Good Shepherd across the
street, were in serious danger. The
thousand little boys and girls in the
asylum became frightened, and a small
panic occurred. The head Of the asy-
lum, however, quickly obtained control
of the situation and discipline was re-
stored. No one is known to have been
injured.

DisIocated Her Shoulder.

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, Of Fergus
Falls, Mimi, fell and dislocated her
shoulder. She had a surgeon get it back
in place as soon as possible, but it was
quite sore and panied her very much.
Her son mentioned that he had seen
Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised for
sprains and soreness, and she asked him
to buy her a bottle of it, which he did.
1t quickly relieved her and enabled her
to sleep which she had not done for sew
eral days. The son was so much pleased
with the relief it gave his mother that he
has since recommended Ito many others.

The family of Mrs. NJ. L. Bobbitt, of Bar

powerless to save her. The most skilful ply
sicians and every remedy used failed, while
consumption was slowly but surely taking her
life. In this terrible hour DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption turned dispair in

relief and its continued use completely cured
her. 1t is the most certain cure in the world

AT THE last session Of the legislature
a law was passed to define and punish
vagrancy. The measure is along the
lines Of what is known as the Georgia
vagrancy law, which has proved so efb-
cacious in that State in driving tramps
and such characters out. 1t defines va
grancy and provides for procedure by
which any person complying with the
definition may be arrested and put to
work. The law will be useful 10
enabling the State to get at and
punish by confinement and labor
those men commonly known as suspi-
cious characters, who, having no vlsi-
bic means of support and no occasion Tor
remaining in the community, are a
menace to life and property. Nearly
all the s~afe-crackers, burglars, PICK.
pockets and miscellaneous criminals who
operate throughout the State are liable
to arrest and confinement under this act,
and should be requiredt to earn their board
The new law seems TO meet the needs
in this case, and its firm enforcement
will doubtless prove beneficial to the
State at large both in regard to the
highways and other needed public m
prOvements.

F"ifty-Eighth Congress.
Washington, d. c., Jan. Is.
SENATE.

In the Senate today Mr.. Carmack
presented a resolution calling upon the
Secretary of the Interior for copies of all
charges on file against the Superintend-
ent Of the Pawnee Indian school, in Paw
nee, Indian Territory.
A message was read from the Presi-
dent recommending legislation looking
to the preservation of the big trees Of
California.
The German resolution calling upon
the President for information relative to
certain negotiations between the govern
ments of the United States and New
Granada and Colombia, vas taken up
and certain amendments proposed by
Mr.. Spooner were accepted by the Sena-
tor from Maryland.
They modified the resolution so that
the word Intervention" was eliminated
and the worts s.use of military force''
inserted, where the attitude of the United
States government toward Colombia was
brought in question.
Mr.. German struck out the fifth
clause which wished the President to
inform the Senate what words in the
treaty of 1916 authorized the United
States to enter by military force unin-
yited into Colombian territory.
The resolution in its amended form
was ordered printed. .
Mr.. Teller, in speaking of it, said
he hoped the Panama question could be
discussed without personal rancor and
partisan heat. He feared that the action
of the government toward Colombia,
though appearing inconsequential, was
destined to involve the United States
into disastrous consequences.
During the discussion of the Panama
canal question Mr.. Tillman declared
that the action OF the United States
towards Colombia was that of a sneak
thief and that its bully like method OF
maintaining its policy was an insult to
American diplomacy.

Two x-Confederate generals, Long
street and Gordon, both brave and gall
liant soldiers, died within a week of one
another and were buried in the same
State. Respect was shown the memory
of both as was evidenced attheir% funerals
but in proportion to the esteem in which
each had been held. The former soon
after the war, made a great political
mistake and, joining himself with those
whom he had fought against, secured
federal appointment. The latter held to
the faith and became the idol Of the
people of his State, who honOred him
with position whenever opportunity Of
fered. The funerals of these men
showed that Gordon's course had been
the more heartily approved by his
people.

IL AN an interview in Indianapolis on

IN AN an interview in Indianapolis on
Wednesday night Mr.. Bryan said
| don't think that any man will be
considered by the national convention
for the presidency who did not vote for
the candidates of the democratic party
of the last two presidential campaigns.
A man may have conscientiously opposed
his party at both those elections, but if
he did he must find his reward in the
approval of his own conscience, and not
in the votes of those who were faithful
to the democratic party in those two
years | refer t..
This is right, and no sensible man can
question the business and correctness OF
Mr.. Bryan's position on this point. No
reasonable man who failed to support
his party in one election could expect to
be the leader in the next, and were a
party to select such a man for its leader
it would surely and properly be de-
feated.

MEXICO AND THE vAcT1cAN.-The
Vactican authorities have been informed
that the appointment of MonsignOr Ser
afni, archbishop of Spoleto, as apostolic
delegate to Mexico, cannot lead to the re-
sumption of diplomatic relations between
the Holy See and Mexico, whence since
the fall of Macmillan there has existed
a complete separation OF church and
state. The late Pope Leo made several
attempts to have the Catholic religion
given official recognition in Mexico, but
President Diaz constantly and consist
emily refused to. comply with Pope Leo's
wishes, although not opposed to Catholi-
cism, which prospers in Mexico more
than it does in any of the other Latin
American republics, where it is the
state religion. The new apostolic dele
