A PERTINENT QUESTION.

We hardly think the following from
the Wheeling Register is true, but If
1t is, its final question Is very timely:
"a story comes from the legislative
halls at Charleston that some of the
Legislators have their desks half full
Of Sheffield pocket knives which cost
at wholesale not less than $50 per
dozen. These knives are bought under
the head Of stationery supplies. but
the only use they are put to, so far
as We can hear Is to shovel them
out by the dozen to members us they
would lead pencils. The members in
turn distribute them among their ac'
quaintances.
The tale Of this extravaganza, OF
rather robbery, because a domestic
knife ut six dollars dozen would an,
swer the legitimate purpose Just as
well, comes almost direct from the
donee Of one OF these costly imported
knives, who upon showing It in this
city remarked: Il was requested by
delegate to help myself as he opened
the LID OF his desk and exposed big
bunch of them.

AN INTERVIEW WITH EDDIE

Eddie Foy, who played here Saturday
night, that came out in front of the
froquois stage curtain and assured

and flying pieces of burnt curtain were
already pouring down around Foy
when he made this statement and still
he remained d moment or two longer
and kept the orchestra playing, hop.
ing the fire would be put out. Foy
| escaped with his young son, and the
orchestra came very near playing its
own requiem. In a moment or two
the huge curtain aswayei out like an
inflated balloon from the heat and
flame behind It on the stage. and sud-
denly burst. The flames and gas
swept out over the audience and 500
people persisted. Most of them were
suffocated. Scores of bodies that
were found showed no evidence even
OF being singed by the heat. In the
gallery and balcony entrances men
fought with each other like tigers, try
ing to make their escape. 1t was a
perfect Bedlam Of frenzied maniacs.
Reason had taken her sceptre and de-
parted and Brute Strength reigned
supreme. This proves beyond all
doubt that some of the human race
have but to step back only one step
and they are into savagery. The
thought does not come with very good
grace, but believe it. came up into
the theater from Randolph street
about fifteen minutes after the fire
and on the balcony entrance saw this
mass of entangied bodies, dead from
suffocation, neither the fire nor the
gas had reached them. They mad lit

in their struggle to get out and there
they all lay wedgei tight from floor TO

In one moment we are here in tho
Aesh and the blood, full OF force and
mirth and life and in the next twink.
