FIRE AT DANIEL c. BAILHY'S RESIDENCE
Curtains Discovered ia Flames While Mrs.
Bailey Was Entertaining Some Callers.

A narrow escape from a fearful con-
fagration took place last evening
about 2. 80 o'clock when the residence
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel G. Bailey on
south Main street caught fire and but
for prompt action would have neces-
slated the calling out of .h4eA ISs,ose
Company. Mrs. Bailey was enter Iii
ing some friends in the parlor when
attention was called to roaring sound.
Thinking it was the open fireplace
Mrs. Bailey was not startled but got
up to see that everything was right
when she discovered her beautiful
portiers leading to the dining room
in flames. She quickly summoned her
friends to her rescue and by tearing
down the curtains and throwing Mr..
Bailey's overcoats on them they sue
ceeded IN smothering 1t out. The
woodwork was badly burned and a
hole was burned in one of Mrs. Bailey's s
handsome rugs. The house full of
smoke attracted some attention to
those passing by. Mr.. and Mrs
Bailey feel that they were very forum
ate in escaping as well as they did, for
a few minutes later the fire would have
gained considerable headway and the
Fire Company would have had to be
summoned. The origin of the fire is q
mystery.

tention in England and the English
newspapers are devoting columns of
space to its discussion and no word
is said except in favor of it as the
greatest medium yet discovered for
the promotion Of the worlds fratern-
ity.
AT this rate we may soon look for
an Esperato literature, for in Gen
eva, they are singing songs and act
ing dramas in the new tongue and an
Esperanto publication tells its devo-
tees weekly, the news of the world
and the progress of the language,
while Free masons, Christian Endeav
orers and other societies. of world
wide scope advocate its study for use
in the International congresses and
correspondence.

Million Dollars Damage.
New Orleans, La, Oct. 5.-A lorna
do passing through five miles of the
residence and factory section of New
Orleans today injured at least a
score and did fully half a million dol.
lars damage. A report was brought in
from the neighborhood of Lake Pont-
chartrain that several lives were lost
there. Later the death of a man nam
ed Howe was reported at the lake,
but not confirmed. The path of the
tornado through the city was 80 to
SO feet wide. A peculiar feature of
the disturbance in the city was that
few persons within half mile of the
tornado's path knew there had been
storm, and the local q. S. weather
bureau received the first intimation
from newspaper reporters The fore
caster said the tornado was a local
disturbance.
Further reports indicate that a
number of houses were blown down
in different parts of the city, and sew
eral persons hurt. Along it's whole
path mucn damage was done The
telegraph and telephone poles were
proStrated and communication with
parts of the city rendered impossible.
A special dispatcn from Hammond,
La, on the Illinois Central, about fif-
ty miles from here, says that a tor
nadO struck Pontchatoula near there
this morning, killing four and injur-
ing number. The damage to prop
erty was heavy.

NEW CAPITOL DEDICATED.
Cost Four and a Half Millions to BuiIc
and Twice as Much to Furnish.

Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. An the
presence of the largest crowd ever
gathered in Harrisburg, the magnifi-
cent new capitol building of Pennsyl-
vania was dedicated today with brief
ceremonies in which President Roose-
welt took part. Before the exercises
began rain started to fall and con-
tinued throughout the ceremonies.
President Roosevelt was given an en-
thusiastic reception when he appear
ed on the stand.
The new capitol is one of the most
beautiful and imposing buildings in
the United States, not only for ITS
architecture, but also in its interior
decorations and furnishings. Thus
far the building and its furnishings
represent an expenditure of about
$13, 100000, including some prelimina-
ry work. 1t cost $4,50O,0OO to erect,
and S9,0OO,OOO to furnish it.

Norfolk. Va, Oct. 5.-Do you know
Esperanto?
If not you probably will some day
for it is the instrument with which
scientists propose to batter down the
barriers of nations that all men may
speak one tongue and be brothers.
1t is worth while to give Esperanto
serious consideration before it is
absolutely forced upon us for it is
no fad, but a practical linguistic struc
ture erected according to scientific
principles and upon the true, funda-
mental laws Of grammar. 1t must
not be confounded with "Volapuk"
which never was practicab bic and
which passed into a deserved obli-
Won after brief existence as a fad.
Freshmen entering college this fall
may find Esperanto Included in the
curriculum, before they matriculate
as seniors, and if this be realized, the
language will be taught in the pri-
mary grades of the public schools
as is now being done in Switzerland.
In American colleges there are al
ready more than fifty Esperanto clubs
made up of students and members
of the faculty, while all educational
societies and journals are deVoting
thought and space to it. In Europe
hundreds of thousands of people
speak write and read it and at the
Esperanto congress held at Boulogne
-sur-Ker in 1905 three thousand per-
sons representing fifteen countries
attended.
Even Japan has taken it up and its
Esperanto Association has undertak-
en- a propaganda under the direction
of a committee composed of three
editors, professors from the imperial
universities and high schools, and
the secretary of the Japan Foreign
Trade Association, with the result
that a grammar in Japanese charac-
