LINEMAN IN FLAMES.

Legs Scared by Live Wise in Midair
 Louis Mccormick, lineman employ ed by the Southern New England Tele- phone company in Waterbury was ser icusly burned yesterday morning as a result of 6 short circuit. He was among the gang working on the lines through the Simonsville district and had climb ed a pole.
 Throwing one leg over the wires he grasped one of them with his hand. Suddenly passersby saw the mans clothing ablaze. He held on the wires as if for dear life, being unable to let go. Finally he dropped to the ground the sheer weight of his body making him break his hold, striking several other wires as he fell.
 An examination revealed serious burns on the legs and shoulders, but none on the hands This is explained by the fact that the wire he held was not a live one, while the one which touched his legs was. He fell from the pole did not seem to have injured him seriously, He will recover.

TROUBLE OVER THE FLAG? ?

Canadians Generally are Very Courte-
 ous Toward the Stars and Stripes.
 The Stars and Stripes were hoisted over the City Hall in Winnipeg last Wednesday, 'out of courtesy to the six thousand Americans who were celebra- ting the glorious Fourth" Subse- quently it was going to investigate the matter What the club can do is hard to see; perhaps the United States flag will not be raised again over a Cana dian public building on our Indepen- dence day.
 Trouble over flags is common along the border On this side of the line it is generally caused by a British flag; some patriotic Briton hoists the Union Jack and some discourteous citizen of this country hauls it down. On the other side of the border the trouble is more serious-that is to say, 1t is gene ral and not sporadic. The United States flag ;s hoisted too frequently and too conspicuously over there to please the rigorous patriot. Complaint Is made that mors United States flags are seen there than Canadian or Brit ish. Some Canadians say that this shows a lack of self-respeot. But who Is to blame2 *@% Since Canadians disagree on the question who throws out to the breeze all these United States flags, who can decide2 But this is not an important point. If citizens of this country show their own flag freely over there, on tlla other hand, it must be acknowledged that Canadians generally are very courteous VowsFd the Stars and Stripes-a fact which wa must appreciate. Perhaps the laAzom- an of the future will find it necessary to give only a sentence to the whole question:: The good feeling along the border between the two notions was shown by the frequency wssh which the flag of the republic was shown in the colony
 This good feeling is a thing of which to be proud and pleased; it is a great deal more important than the question whether Winnipeg Gid rot go too far in he1ping Is Yankees to celebrate the Fourth. Ard when Canadians gene rally call the U?nted States flag "the American flag" 1t is not to be won dered at that 1t Is often to be seen floating beyond the Buffalo Express.

Later Dispatch Doubles Loss.

Valparaiso, Aug. 21,-The loss of life by the earthquake of Thursday, August Is probably will not be short of S,OOO while the property destroyed is esti- mated at $1OO,O0O,000. and possibly is far in excess of that sum.
 Order is being maintained with the utmost severity by the military police and armed citizen patrols, who are empowered to shoot looters on the spot. The authorities are showing the utmost energy in the protection of property.
 With the first terrible shock of the earthquake building collapsed, their walls falling with a tremendous noise. The inmates in many cases were un- able to escape. The shock was follow cd almost immediately by fierce storm, the wind prostrating wall that had been weakened by the earthquake and these broke trolley wires, which flash ed necessarily. The second shock was even heavier than the first
 Five minutes afterwards fires started in every direction, and immediately the whole town, which had been momen- tarily in darkness, was illuminated with the lurid splendor of gigantic flames. The flremen made a desperate fight, though there was but little water, as most of the mains had been broken by the earth tremor The Victoria the- ater (opera house) and the naval club were utterly destroyed by the earth quake, and the National theater sue cumbed to earthquake and fire The Club deSetiembre, the Church of Le Merced, the buildings of the French fathers, the navy department building, the city hall and many other buildings were destroyed by the earthquake. The destruction by fire, however, was in- fnitely larger and probably sixty per cent. of the commercial houses were totally ruined. In Brazil avenue alone nearly thirty blocks of buildings from three to five stories high were destroy cd.

tNo BRGsT1E IN PHILADELPHIA.
Henry James Found There the Only

Henry James Found There the Only
 Large American City With None
 Philadelphia was the American city of the large type that didn't bristle, says Henry James in the Fortnightly Review; just as I was aferward in re- cognize in St. Louis the nearest ap- proach to cempanionship with her in this respect; and to recognize in Chi cago the most complete divergence.
 It was not only that Philadelphia didn't "bristle" then, but that she es- sentialIy couldn't and wouldn't ever; that no movement or process could be thought of, in fine, as more foreign to her genius.
 Philadelphia was, beyond any other American city, society, and was go- ing to show as such, as thoroughly confirmed and settled one-which fact became the key to its having na pre- text for brstling.
 New York. in that sense, had ap- peared to me then not society at aH, and IL was ruQlIueuldlS tHot CllSfbtbp would be one still less. There had been for Boston the old epigram that she wasn't a place, but state of mind; and that might remain, since we know how frequently states of mind al- ter.
 Philadelphia wasn't a place, but state of consanguinity, which As an ab- solute final condition.She had arrived at it, with nothing in the world left to bristle for. or against; whereas New York. and above all Chicago! were only, and most precariously, on the way to it, and indeed, having started too late, would probably never arrive.
 There were, for them, interferences and complications; thew knew and would yet know, other conditions; per- haps, other beatitudesi only the beati- tude I think of-that of being, in the composed sense, a society-was lost to them forever. Philadelphia, without complications of interference, enjoyed it in particular through having begun to Invoke it in time. And now she had nothing more to invoke; she had eve rvthing; her cadres were all full; her imagination was at peace.

NEWSPAPERS OF THESE DAYS
Are Helping and Making the World
 Grow Better.

Are Helping and Making the World Grow Better.
 We believe that the press is in gen eral to be depended on for honesty of purpose and for the very best that hu- man endeavor can bring to pass. The number is not small of the jour nals who will not take money in any form. Time was a few years ago when the disclosures made with refer ence to Philadelphia dailies disturb the | faith of many and caused a weakening of public confidence In the press. But that day is gone by. Those same pa pers which only a few years ago sold their editorial columns to the highest bidder would not venture the same course to-day If they had the inclina- ton,
 The public demands strict honesty of purpose in the newspapers read. Mis- takes will be tolerated, and even if the views presented are not in accord with those of the readers, the paper will be sure of a reading if it only possesses the confidence of the reader, as to its integrity, This influence is making it. self felt Those who wish to be up right always find encouragement in this public appreciation of their hones- ty, while the less conscientious take warning, for they know that insinceri- ty soon bctrays itself to the constant reader.
 No, the situation is growing better, and the public itself is helping things along wherever an earnest and incor- ruptible paper is given a hearing in preference to the abominations which masquerade under the name of news papers.
 If person takes his cue from the 1 yellow afflictions which enjoy a cer- tain degree of popularity, we admit that there is room for pessimistio views. But a broad outlook over the country cannot fail to bring conviction that the world is growing better and that the newspapers are growing bet ter with it-in fact, that the newspa- pers as a whole are helping and mak ing the world grow better,-Watertown Standard
