 In conclusion Count Tolstoi says that in America, France. Germany, Japan and England the pernicious character of the governments is so marked that those belonging to those nations point to events in Russia and naively inn agine what is done in Russia is done only in Russia, while they enjoy com plete freedom and need no improve ment of their positions.
 But" he adds, "they are in the most hopeless state of slavery-the slavery of slaves who do not under- stand that they are slaves and pride themselves on their position as slaves The fact is that every coercive gov- ernment is in the essence a great and unnecessary evil Therefore the aim both of the Russians and of all men should not be to replace one form of government by another, but to free themselves from every government and abolish it."s s AE>5-

CROWD THEMDIE
Nineteen Persons Perish In
 New York Tenement.
INCENDIARY LIT FIRE IN BASEMENT
House Destroyed Had Given Shelter to Twenty Families With Seventy eight Children, and It h Said
 200 Slept In Burned Building.


 eight Children, and It h Said 200 Slept In Burned Building. NEW YORK. March 15.-Nineteen persons, men,. women and children, were burned to death in a fire which destroyed the five story tenement house at 105 Allen street. More than forty were injured, and only few of the sleeping inmates escaped unhurt. Sev- eral of those who perished were roast ed to death in plain view of thousands ill the streets.
 Coroner Goldenkranz declared after an investigation that he had reason to believe the blaze was the work of an incendiary.
 He issued subpoenas for the fire mar shal, tenement house and building in- spectors and health and police officials to appear before him at the inquest to- morrow.
 The fire started in the basement and spread with frightful rapidity to the roof. The victims were caught in traps of flames, the halls and exits being rendered impossible in few minutes after the blaze started.
 The building was one of the usual crowded tenements, where lived twen- ty families with seventy-eight children, nearly all Hebrews.
 The disaster was the worst in the history of the east side The district attorneys office has begun an investi- gation to place the blame for the great loss of life.
 Chief Croker of the fire department asserts that the police and the tene-j ment house departments are to blame for the disregard of the fire escape law. The tenement house department off cials. however. say that the blame is on the shoulders of the fire commis- sioner.
 Of the nineteen dead three bodies, those of a boy and two girls, remain unidentified.
 The majority of the dead are chil- dren. The east side was thrown into turmoil, and the police reserves from all of the nearby stations were turned out to handle the unreasonable crowd. The fire escapes were blocked with baskets, boxes. tin pals. bedding and other paraphernalia, so that they were impracticable. The flames meantime were belching from the windows and licking out hungrily for the frightened tenants.
 There had been fatal delay in turn ing in an alarm.
 Policeman John J. Dwan was the hero of the fire. He sealed the fence and. climbing to a shed in the rear of the burning house. improvised bridge with plank to the fire escape on the second floor. over which he made his way and extricated twenty panic .strieken persons. and hurried them over the plank to safety. '~l
 The flames, however. had been grow ing hungrier every minute. and Dwan was invisible from the street on ac- count of the smoke. He did not desert his post, however. and remained until, overcome by the fumes. he lost his footing and fell to the court below. where he was found some time later with broken collarbone and severe cOntusions

Chicago recently this tale was told with sad variations on the original theme.

Chicago recently this tale was told with sad variations on the original theme.
 We speak of the strange case of the paroled policeman and the wealthy young woman of Michigan avenue; the hapless girl shot down by the man whose attentions she would not listen to. We cannot help wondering If the tragedy had it's beginning in the wild romances of princesses mating with humble citizens.
 Herman, the would-be lover, was a man that appeared enamored of himself to no small degree, and doubtless thought in the end he would prove irresistible to any girl. He was well built, and paid tho greatest attention to his clothes. Dia- monds shone from his shirt front, a dia- mond sparkled on his finger; an adver- tisement that the wearer was no mere nobody. This, it seems to us was his at- titude.
 Was Herman in love, or was Herman merely ambitious? The latter, surely. Associates say, knowing the young lady, Miss Mulveil, possessor of wealth, he deliberately sought to win her regard he chose lodging near her home, took to church going at the St. James church, where she was one of the most regular workers His first advances repulsef, the mans inordinate vanity kept him from discouragementf for even term of years; but at last he must have realized that all his patience and efforts were ill vain; and in moment of frenzy took the life of the young woman whom every one says was a very lovely character, a very useful member of society, her only crime, failure to appreciate an aspiring young man.

Girls Big Saving In Pennies.

E Nellie Mason, a schoolgirl in Rock ford, H., recently surprised the offl- cials in one of the Rockford savings banks by pulling a toy wagon inside the counting room. Then she took the cover from the load the wagon con- tained and passed to the receiving teller seventy pounds of pennies, says Rockford dispatch. There were H. 700 of them, done up in packages of twenty-five each. With the load she opened a savings account with $117 to her credit. The pennies had been giv- en to her by her father. who is a small merchant in the residence part of Rockford.

How the Tennessee vetsfan 0aveA Yt
 From Anputation.
 When the civil war came the lato Senator William B. Bate of Tennessee cast in his fortunes with the secession movement and enlisted as . private in a Tennessee regiment but when the regiment went to the front he was itD colonel, says a Washington dispatch to the New York Times. He put to uss what he had learned of drill and dis. cipline in the Mexican war, and the Second Tennessee Confederate infan- try became known as . crack regt ment He led 1t at Shiloh. where he was badly wounded and given up to die. His bravery there gave him the soubriquet of "Old shiloh" which he ever after wore. It is an interesting fact that 500 men of Bates regiment at this battle had unexpired furloughs in their pockets, having at his appeal agreed to stay and fight.
 During a great part of the next year Bate commanded a brigade, al- though he was obliged to walk on crutches. At Shiloh the surgeons held a consultation and decided to ampu- tate his leg. Bate suspected that this would be proposed. and he told old Jim, his negro servant, to put his pis- tols under the pillow. When the doc tors came in he greeted them cheerily and said:
 "Gentlemen. what are you going to do? You have held your consultation. and want to know what you purpose now to do''
 One of the surgeons said that to save his life they must take of his leg. The doctors last word was hardly out of his mouth before Colonel Bate pull ed a pistol from under his head and said You are sil my friends. hut tha first man who puts a knife to this leg 10 cut it of will die"
 Senator Bate told a friend only the other day of this experience and wound up his story with the remark, This is a pretty game old leg, and it looks bad fin the senate. but it Is a whole lot better than the best wooden leg I ever saw

the Bangs sisters, carry on a thriving trade in spiritualism among people of high commercial and social standing; that people you wouldn't have believed 1t of" consult them as oracles, believe in their utterances. in the pictures they be- stow upon those favored by the spirit artists.
 AS understand 1t. the Bangs sisters are supposed to be in communion with departed artists, and these shades of painters once dwelling on this mundane sphere obligingly reproduce. without paint or brush, the desired portraits. It is said spirit-painting and spirit-photog- raphy is flourishing business in this city.
 Who buys them. or rather who pleads for them and, incidentally. pays for the mediums troubles? We'll, such as these: doctors. lawyers, and women, of course. What do they pay for these works of art? we do not say whether the art is black or rwhiteLAnywhere from S15 to $I50.-
 We saw one of the spirit pictures once, and really it was quite shivery looking thing, though the shade that executed it could never have been otherwise than a very crude worker. We remember. in spite of ourselves. we were much i'm pressed with the intangible quality of the portrait. which seemed to appear and re- appear in decidedly uncanny way.
 It is reported that one of the patrons in the picture line of the Bangs sisters is Dr. Funk of Brooklyn: in fact. it was be- cause of the connection of this we'll known man with their spirit portraits that the Bangs sisters are again brought topublic notice. Our rlake sailors are said to be addicted to class to spiritualism, the men frequently consulting medium before starting out on the rough waters of Michigan. We wonder if she ever tells them the probabilities are they will not return: or does she confine herself to words of cheer?

He had two very large, horse collars made water tight He would make regular trips to Texas, and ev- cry time he would return the laborers would get drunk. After watching him for long time the officers discovered that he would take the extra horse col- lars with him and bring them back full of whiskyA Zach collar would hold about two gallons of liquor.
