mate, had a narrow escape. She was on
fire when rescued BY Mr.. ]. c. Abel. She
is at the hospital, being treated for sew
Eeral serious burns.
Two companies Of the fire department
responded, but did little good. It was a
long run and the FIRE had become uncon-
tro1lable The inmates were made as
comfortable as possible. The loss IS par
tally covered by insurance. Mrs. ]. M.
Foster, the president, and the managers
will provide another home for the t1nfor-
Inmates.

MALEK IS COMING
Famous Love-lorn Bohemian Pianist at
the Opera House April TO-

Ottokar Malek. the Bohemian pianist
about whom musical critics have gone
wild. has been secured for an engagement
on April 10. Since he first appeared be-
fore the public in America his time has
been in such great demand that he has
not been heard much outside of the large
cities. Arrangements have been finally
made, however. to have him appear in
this city one night He will play at the
opera house
1t is singular reason which prompted
Ma1ek to forsa1e his native land to come
to America. In his native country and
throughout all Europe he had all that the
heart could desire. except one thing
love He had fame. honor, position, cv-
erything his ambition craved except the
balm for his affection For this reason
he sacrificed everything, and came to
America to bury his grief beneath loads
and loads of work
For a long time after coming to this
country Malek did not play in public. He
had his piano in his room on Michigan
avenue, Chicago, where his windows
overlooked the lake. and there he would
play for hours at time, in solitude and
away from any person, in1provising and
playing the strains which seemed to give
expression to his emotions.
His engagement will furnish an excep-
tional opportunity to all lovers Of music
to hear an artist they will remember a
lifetime.

A PEONAGE CASE IN THE UNIT
ED STATES SUPREME COURT.

The Supreme Court of the Unitel
States reversed the peonage case of
Samuel Clyatt VS.. The United States
in favor of Clyatt, who was charged
with returning to involuntary servi-
tude two negroes named Gordon and
Ridley. The opinion was handed down
by Justice Brewer, and while it upheld
the constitutionality of the law for the
punishment of peonage, it held that as
the record failed to show that the ne
groes had ever before been in custody
the charge of returning them could
not be sustained.

In the Spring a congressman's
fancy turns to thong is of the
summer junket and the last few
da $ i Gle session are made yet
more strenuous by his activity
in settin invitations to tne par
ticular trip that his wife most
desires to make. The Congress
sional junket is an expensive af-
fair oui ike most things that
come high it is a good thing. We
take our Congressman from the
people and if they have not been
educated or broadened by travel
the best thing the country can
do for itself and them is to make
travel possible for them. Our
Legislators cannot but make bet
ter laws for having outgrown
their provincialisms and there is
no better or surer way to grow
Them than by visiting and seeing
other countries. A trip to a for
eign country may make a man
whoop only the louder for his
own country and declare that the
United States is good enough for
him but he has found out at least
there is another country and an.
other civilization and by the
time he has forgotten the be-
nighted condition of a people
that doesn't have hot corn bread
or pie he has begun to remember
certain respects in which that
same benighted people is super
Tor TO ourselves. The experience
is q good one and one that in
view of our expanding country
II few more representatives ought
TO nave. lC Is TO be deplored
that among our Congressman
there are semi-professional junk
eters who get in on all the trips
and whose wives and daughters
count on an annual summer voy-
age at the expense of the gov
eminent, but this is one of the
remediable features of the case.
Let that be altered as soon as
possible but for the good of the
sountry let the iunketings go on.

Tt is sometimes argued that
men of great mental strength
and strong bodies use tobacco,
that many of our leading men
are addicted to this habit, with
no apparent injury to their
strength of powers. 1t is true
that tobacco is not as injurious
to some as it is to others. The
same is true of strong drink and
other habits. But this is no
reason why we should become
slaves to them. Some men are
great in spite of certain habits
that retard and hinder them from
reaching their highest possible
development. Thousands have
been ruined by the cigarette
habit, in others the injury has
not been so manifest. But all
have suffered from it's effects to
a certain extent.
The drink habit is to be con
demned; it destroys happy hon.
es, destroys manhood, beggars
wives and children, and fills our
jails and penitentiaries, but the
cigarette habit does ten times as
much harm to the boy between
ten and fifteen in starting him
on the way to become a criminal.
There is no other one thing so
deadly as this terrible vice. 1t
in a measure robs the boy of all
his powers, mental, physical and
moral, it deadens his sense of
honor and leaves him stranded
upon the highways of sin, with
no conscience or will to guide
him back to the narrow way that
leads to life and happiness

Among all the evils that pre-
vail at the present time, there is
none that is more deadly than
the cigarette habit. 1t is en-
shaving it's thousands every year.
Young men full of promise, with
high ideals, strong in mind and
body, wither away before this
blighting curse, and never de-
velop their powers. In q hun
dred years no cigarette smoker
has ever stood at the head of his
class in Harvard university, and
this is true in nearly all the 9TH
err colleges throughout the land.
There is no sadder picture than
to see a young man full of prom
Use and with every prospect of
success, bound hand and foot
with the cords of a habit that he
cannot break. He is crippled
for life. We have in mind now
a young man of this kind, who
on entering school made a solemn
promise that he would give up
the habit that was such a hind
rance to his progress. He only
succeeded in doing so for two
weeks; againahe promised, and
again he failed. This happened
several times, and at last he
came and said: 1T is impos-
sible for me to stop smoking; !
simply can't do it," And he
couldn't; or at least he Thought
he couldn't, which is just the
same. His will power had been
impaired to IN exte it that
he was helpless. He had nc
faith in himself. And thous.
ands are in the same condition.

ism as well r impaired; espec.
tally is this true when t.ie habit
is formed during the adolescent
period of life. No future Pen.
ance can ever regain for the boy
the strength he has lost in his
early life through the use of Gig.
arettes. He will suffer the con
sequences while he lives, and
they will be visited upon his
children after him.
And worse still, this habit of.
ten leads to greater intemper.
ance, and man times to crime.

were brought before Justice
Crane of the police court Of
Chicago, and out of that number
thirty-three were excessive

dangers before them, is it not
strange that our boys win ever
think of forming this terrible
habit.
