BIRDS GAVE THE ALARM
sparrows to the Rescue of Burning
- Philadelphia Church, l T..
Philade1nhia Record

hSCOFus sqsl, ssA
The1peculiar actions of sparrows;, ,f111t-
teringFabout the belfry and chipping ex-
citedly led to the discovery Of a fire
in the clock tower Of ST. Michael 81
Roman Catholic church, corner Second
and Jefferson streets, Tuesday after
noon. Eugene sDorney, a workman en-
Pleyed near by, witnessed the excite
ment among the birds, and seeking the
cause, discovered flame and smoke issu-
ing from the clock tower above the bel
fry. He notified the sexton, Stephen
Kelly, and the latter assembled to the
tower, 100 feet above the street, with a
hand grenade and extinguished the fire.
The origin of the midair blaze is a
mystery. The clock tower is completely
inclosed, and no one enters it but the
clockmaker, who calls to wind the time
piece on Thursdays. The fire had been
smouldering for some time before it
was: famed into live. flames, and the
smoke drove the birds out Of the belfry,
their distress giving the alarm.
Very little Roadway had beer gained
by the blaze when the sexton entered
the tower, and it was easily extin.
guished. The interior woodwork was
charred in one corner, and the Second
street clock dial was scorched enough to
require repainting. The clock itself
was uninjured. The entire damage
amount to about 800. nj

BABE: LEET TO DIE
Unnatural Mother at Sioux Falls VIII
Be Prosecuted,

SIOUX FALLS, s. D.-The authorities have
a case Of infanticide to deal with, and as soon
as the condition Of the alleged slayer of her
child warrants it, 1t is probable she will be
placed under arrest. Evidence secured points
strongly to a domestic employed in local
household as the mother Of the child. The
finding OF the infant on ash pile In the
outskirts of the city created sensation. When
found the child was yet alive. It was entirely
nude and had been exposed to a cold wind for
at least two hours.
It was at first believed it would recover, hui
It died as the result of the exposure in about
four hours. Marks on the little throat indicated
that an effort had been made to strangleS II
before 1t was placed on the ashpile.
The state board Of railroad. commissioners has
been officially advised by the Milwaukee rail
road company that, in accordance with pc
tition, it will at once establish station and
maintain an agent at Junius, just west q
Madison.

OLE BULL PART
AS MORSE PATRIOT
Great Musician Given Credit for
Distinguished Political In \
( fluence in Norway.

New York, Aug. 25.-Ole Bull is
called by Margaret E. Noble, writing
for the September Century Magazine,
1.-The greatest political influence in the
history Of modern Norway In the
present crisis Miss Mobiles article is
Of peculiar interest. Among other
things, she says:
What was it that made him cole Bull,
undeniably the greatest political influence
in the history Of modern Norway? The
flQdle Is easy to read. His fame was of
that order that opens all DOORS States
men and chief captains like Bismarck
and Won Moltke were his intimates, and
he was their confident To world artists
like Liszt. Chopin and Mendelssohn he
was own brother. And sovereigns, diplo-
matists and great mobiles were all proud
10 name him among their friends.
He Knew Statecraft.
In him, then, Norway had found one
who could stand for her In the highest
ranks Of the nations, learn for her the
secret of statecraft and recover in her
behalf the trick Of thinking like a king.
For this Is one Of the losses entailed on
a people who are governed by foreigners
from a foreign seat and they forget to
think Of their country a whole, the
habit that is the secret Of rulers. - 49,
Yet is was only as a man, and not byl
any means as a politician, that an auto
crat could claim the friendship of the
distinguished artist His own sovereign
felt that he had cause for grave offense
when the news reached Stockholm, in
1S4S. of his heading q procession in Paris
to present the Norwegian colors to Lamar
tine But even royal anger could not re-
sist the good stories told on the next
visit and the king stood biting his lips
at the careless bonhomie of, Ole Bull
as he turned suddenly and said, ''By the
way, sire, you should have been with us
the other day in Paris, when we went to
acclaim Lamartine." =:
Encounter with the King.
Few tales are told, indeed, which are
finer than that of the encounter, in
earlier years, with this kings father,
the old Bernadotte himself. The king
had referred to the Norwegians as my
Poles" at which Ole Bull, drawing him.
self up, inquired, when has a Norwe-
wegian shown himself disloyal to the
king?" Then, without waiting for an
answer, he announced that he must at
once take leave. Upon this, the king
turned to him with" an imperious st
command you to stay" But the violinist
shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Then
I will see, sire, whether a Norwegian re-
mains free in the palace Of the king Of
Sweden" At this, as Ole Bull would
tell. when recounting the scene, there
came into the face of the monarch the
most winning smile he had ever seen on
a human countenance, and putting out
his hand impulsively, Bernadotte ex-
claimed, NAY, beg you to remain. A
prince should hear the opinions Of his
people" And the talk which then re-
suited was the basis of deep confidence
on both sides.

RAIN FALLS FROM MANS HAT
water Drips Down on Young Woman
who Thinks street Car
Leaks.

This old car leaks" she remarked 10 an
other young woman sitting next to her in
a closed car on the Dodge street line. II
think 1t is a nice comeoff that the street
car company can't provide cars that won't
let rain through the roofs
Are you sure the car leaks, my dear7'
rejoIned her next neighbor. who hadn't
up to that time got wet.
why, certainly l am sure. Just look
therel" and the young woman exhibited her
lap, which had several large Jumps Of rain
in It, And then began a craning of necks.
Everybody in the car riveted eyes on the
ceiling of the car over the head OF the
young woman who had been getting II in
the lap. But no one had discovered the
leak
The car was crowded and II so happened
that a man wearing a rain coat tightly but
toned around his mock and a black derby
hat thoroughly soaked with rain was hang
ing onto the straps Immediately in front
of the young woman in trouble. The young
woman being very pretty and the man be-
ing very curious--despite the fact that he
was a man-his eyes refused to look
straight ahead on a horizontal line for any
length OF time and every time they fell
downward on the pretty little trick the
little rivulet of rain that had been lodged
on the curved brim of his hat would empty
itself. and of course there was no other
place to fall than In the young woman
lap, since that was the FIRST object 1t struck
after leaving its channel.
But 1t took quite a while for those In
the car to find where the water came from
