MORE THAN FIFTY
 ARE DEAD IN RUINS
MANY ARE MISSING AND LIST MAY REACH ONE HUNDRED. COLLAPSE OF HOTEL ZuM HlRSCH.

Nagold. Little Black Forest. Germany. April 1.-The hotel zum Hirseh fell today during the progress of a festive dinner There were 200 guests present. most of whom were buried in the ruins.
 At 10 o'clock tonight hfty-fve dead bodies have been recovered. and 100 in- jured were taken from the ruins, many persons are still missing, and probably are among the dead.
 The accident Is attributed to careless ness on the part of those who were mak- ing repairs on the building. which had been raised five feet from the ground In order to give more space for the lower story. The work began early in the morn ing and was supposed to have been fin ished at noon. The keeper invited the workmen and a large number of towns people to a grand dinner. The party as- sembled in the middle banquet room and was drinking the health of the builder and landlord when suddenly crash was heard above.
 A score of those in the banquet room jumped from the windows and doors in time to escape, when the house came down with a crash
 The town tonight presents inde- scribable scene of horror and grief. There is hardly a family but has lost one or more members. The villagers and people of the surrounding country are inquiring for their relatives.
 The dead are laid out in the town hall adjacent to the scene of the disaster. The work of rescue is still proceeding, but the full losses will not be known un- til tomorrow.

TARIFF REVISION COMING.
Speaker Cannon Admits as Much In a
 Letter.

East Liverpool, O., April 5.-Joseph G. Cannon, Speaker of the House of Representatives has addressed a letter to w Edward Wells, president of the United States Potters association, ln which he says that a revision of the tariff is sure to come.
 T am satisfied there will be no tariff revision this Congress, but it goes without saying that the desire for change which exists in the common mind will drive the republican party if continued in power, to tariff revi- sion. I do not want 1t, but it will come in the not distant future, says the letter.

Hiram Bobbs was absent-minded. He admitted that himself. Still. even he was occasionally surprised by his own killings One morning he reached his office unaccountably late Dear mel" he thought. "Where can have been?"
 The answer was not forthcoming. Ill. ram sat down at his desk and took out his Handkerchief. It was tied tightly in knot.
 "Now," he exclaimed, what was that for? Oh, yes! Marthy told me to get my shoes soled."
 With an air of resignation to the whims of womanhood he put on his hat. closed his desk, and went out to the "soled-while-you-wait" cobblers. He went in and sat down, took off his shoes and settled back in a chair to read his newspaper.
 What is 1t, Mir. Bobbs" inquired the cobbler.
 What? Oh, er-er-er-why-oh yes! I want my shoes soled."

Knocked Claim skyward.

Tt pays sometimes to have the right kind of a lawyer" remarked w. T.. Purdy, q well-known mining man of the northeast. II was witness in q case few weeks ago in Seattle in which colored man was seeking dam ages for permanent injuries sustained in an accident to an elevator which he was running. The plaintiff claimed that he had been maimed for life, by being permanently deprived of the free use of his right arm. Although the accident had happened months before. his arm was still crippled and he was unable to raise 1t above his waist. He explained all this with much feeling and earnestness during his direct eX- animation. Then the attorney for tn owner of the building took him in hand.
 "'Show us how high you can raise your arm,' said the attorney.
 And the plaintiff feebly raised his arm a few inches.
 "'Now show us how high you could raise your arm before you were in- jured,' pursued the attorney.
 And the plaintiff unhesitatingly and unthinkingly raised the crippled arm high above his head, thus knocking his damage claim skyward with one elo- quent gesture" San Francisco Chron- ic,e.

A Uniaue City.

In one respect, Quito, the capital of Ecuador is the most unique city in the world. It is situated in both the north ern and southern hemispheres-if we accept the equator as the real dividing line-a distinction claimed by no other place of importance on the globe.
 At Quito the sun rises and sets at 6 o'clock the year round. You may for get to wind your watch while you are visiting the Ecuadorian capital, but you need not hunt up regulator; set it when the sun rises or sets and you will be sure to be right. Old Sol makes no mistakes
 The seasons, as far as names are con- cerned, change almost instantly; but, as the temperature is remarkably even, these curious points are seldom thought of by the people who make Quito their home.

The First MuHs.

The early muffs were small and made of satin or velvet, lined with fur. The leopard skin came in with Queen Anne. There is a print of an Eliza bethan lady with a small huff hanging from her girdle. Before this date it was probably looked upon as an eccen. tric novelty, at least in England. A full century before q Venetian grand dame had carried her lapdog in her huff, d fashion that continued for a long sea- son and found it's way into France. In Paris muffs for this express purpose, chiens manchons, as they were styled, could be bought in 1892 at the estab- lishment of the DemOiselles Guerin, rue de Bac. French sumptuary laws condescended to notice such minor de- tails as the color of huff. The bour- geois was obliged to restrict himself to somber black. The noble might please himself. Under Louis XIV, therefore, the manchon of the courier was brilliant with gold lace and em. broidered ribbons.

The Mole Has Eyes.

The majority of people believe that the mole is even "blinder' than the proverbial bat, but the naturalists know that such is not the case. Sir John Lubbock and Carl Hess, the lat ter a noted German naturalist, by care ful Investigation proved that the mole has eyes which are as perfect as those of horse or an elephant. They are very small optics, to be sure (only one millmeter in diameter), but in the matter of reflection and refraction do not differ from the normal eyes i'll larger animals.
