alarm of fire was turned in. AS result,
the house was destroyed, the loss amount
ing to about s.. 500. No one was hurt.
The alarm from box SO brought all the

the location of the house two engines were
necessary to get the water from the hydrant
on Bladensburg road to the burning build
ing. AS the fire covered the entire side of
the house when discovered, all efforts of

The fire is thought to have started from
a defective f1ue leading from open fire.

fire was kept blazing all day yesterday.

Secular League Meeting.

The members of the Washington Secular
League, at their regular Sunday afternoon
session at Pythian Temple Hall, yesterday
afternoon, held a three-hour discussion on
immigration. w. A. Croffutt delivered an
address unfolding present immigration con-
ditions. The speaker attacked the argu-
ments of those labor leaders who decry i'm
migration as dangerous to labor. He pro-
duced figures to show that immigration is
in no way detrimental to American labor.
Maj John H. Clark of the United States
immigration bureau spoke briefly on i'm
migration.
Prof. David Eccles upheld the views of
the first two speakers. with the exception
that he argued in favor of placing a
stricter educational qualification in immi-
grafton laws.
DR.. j. ]. Shirley, president of the league,
disagreed with DR.. Croffutt, stating that
there was much more poverty in America
at present than ever before.

Sermon bv Rev. DR.. Radcliffe.

"The Sabbath was made for man. was
the text Of a sermon yesterday morning by
Rev. DR.. Wallace Radcliffe, pastor of the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church,
preached at the request of the National In
terdenominational Union.
1T was not made for the Jew or the Chris
tan, but for humanity DR.. Radcliffe
said. 1T is not name for a day, but for an
observance-every seventh day after six
days of work. 1t Is a means to an end.
Christ enjoins this observance so that the
body may be made better instrument for
the spirit. The microscope reveals that the
usual daily rest does not make the tired
man entirely fit.
THE nights rest does not repair the days
waste. Man needs not only a night for
every day, but Sunday for every week.
We cannot outgrow this need. The stren-
uous life only intensifies 1t. Continual ia
tigue is increasing decay; disregard brings
disaster, and paralysis is the answer to de-
fiance.
Your Sunday ledger discounts your fu-
ture. Those fifty-two Sundays you take from
the year are taken not from God, but from
yourself

New Ice House at Alexandria.

The new ice storage house of the Mutual
Ice Company, on the river front, at Alex
andria. is practically completed and will
be ready for the storage of ice before the
vessels coming from Maine with the cool
ing cargoes aboard arrive. Two schooners,
each with a cargo of more than a thou
sand tons of ice, have been chartered, and
will be on the way from the Kennebec river
to the Alexandria Ice Company in few
days. Meanwhile work is being hurried
on the big storage house, and on the ice
unloading apparatus. so that the ice can be
removed from the vessels and stored in the
house as soon as they arrive. The new ice
house has capacity of more than 5000
tons, and is so constructed that the fruit
cars on their way from the south can be
sidetracked in front of the ice house, and
be re-iced before continuing on their jour
ney to New York. Alexandria has for sew
eraf years been the halfway point at
which fruit cars coming from the south
receive a new supply of ice in their re-
frigerating compartments.

MRS. BRADLEY PLEADS
NOT GUILTY OF SENATOR
BROWNS MURDER, SHE CLAIMS.

The arraignment of Mrs. Annie NJ. Brad
ley for the alleged murder of former Sem
ator Arthur M. Brown of Utah this MORN
ing presented a sad spectacle in Criminal
Court No. 1, Justice Stafford presiding
The defendant was so affected by the read
ing OF the indictment, which evidently
brought back to her mind the details of the
shooting and of the interview leading up to
1t, that she could with difficulty keep back
tears, and had to be supported at the bar
by Mrs. Rosalie Goulding, friend, who
has been a frequent visitor during the in
generation of Mrs. Bradley in jail
In response to the question of the clerk,
How do you plead to this Indictment.
guilty or not guilty?' Mrs Bradley. with a
negative shake of the head in an almost
inaudible whisper said, Not guilty, She
Immediately returned to the cell below the
court room.
Shortly after court was opened United
States Attorney Baker announced to .Jus-
tice Stafford that he had a few arraien
ments to make before proceeding with the
trial of Binger Hermann. While the other
prisoners were being arraigned Mrs. Brad
ley was brought from the cell under the
court room and given a chair at the head
or the stairs. When Clerk Hawken called
her name she demurely walked to the bar
ana stood trembling with emotion.
Shook With Sobs.
Her frame shook with sobs and during
the reading of the Indictment, which read
ing In a capital case cannot be dispensed
with, the defendant, with closed eyes and
by frequent biting Of her lips, managed to
control herself. Mrs. Goulding, her friend,
who had been close at hand, hastily reach
ed her side, when, as the words of the in
dfctment announcing the death of Senator
Brown were read by the clerk, Mrs Brad
iey,s. form swayed. Placing her arm about
the DEFENDANTS waist, Mrs. Goulding whis-
pered words Of encouragement. Mrs Brad
ley quickly recovered her composure under
the consolation offered by her friend.
Mrs Bradley was clothed entirely in
black, and wore small black bonnet. She
carried large fur muf and had fur
throw to match.
Attorneys Wells, Hoover & Wells, coun-
sci for Mrs. Bradley, We're present in court
and after the arraignment consulted with
the United States attorney as to the date
Tor trial. Owing to the crowded condition
OF the criminal docket it is improbable that
a trial OF the case will occur until May.
When Mrs. Bradley left the Jail this
morning for the court her counsel expected
she would be able to visit dentist to have
her teeth attended to, but her condition
after the ordeal in court made it's desirable
that she be returned to jail She may be
taken to the dentist tomorrow.

FALLS FROM HIS CAR.
Express Messenger Has Narrow Es-
cape From Death.

Suffering from painful scalp wounds and
shock, Edward Frost, twenty-three years
old, of 14O1 Champion street, Richmond,
Va, was found beside the Seaboard Air
Line tracks at 9th and c streets southwest
about o'clock last night. The injured man
was removed to the Emergency Hospital
and was given treatment. He was able to
leave the hospital last night.
- To the surgeons Frost stated that he was
employed last night on the express car of
the Seaboard Air Line train which is due
here about 9 o'clock Just HON he came to
fall from the car, he says, he does not
know and cannot remember. 1t Is the the
DRY of the police that he had the door of
the car open in advance of the arrival at
the station here, and that as the train was
swinging around the curves in Southwest
Washington he lost his balance and plung-
ed out of the door to the ground. The snow
evidently broke the force of the fall, and
Frost's injuries consisted only in bruises
on his head.

SOCIALISM HIS TEXT,
DR.. Stafford's Second Sermon of Series
on That Topic.

DR.. Stafford's Second Sermon of Series
on That Topic.
Rev. DIR. d. ]. Stafford yesterday preach
ed the second of his series of sermons on
Socialism. He took for his subject THE
Question of Social Reform" He said in
part:
1.-TWO views always result from the con-
sideration Of question into which human
sentiment enters, and these two views are
extreme one right, one left; between them
every phase and shade Of opinion. So it is
with the social question. One view declares
the whole scheme wrong, and hates society
as 1t is constituted; the other does not find
things so bad, and far from hopeless, COM
pick as the question nevertheless Is.
There are two kinds of evil: one RENE
diable, one irremediable. Society is in the
state of sin, of mortal sin, and there results
therefrom a necessary evil. Men may
dream Of condition whence all evil suf-
fering, misery, poverty will be banished
but that Is dream, beautiful dream, If
you will, but only dream. 1t is heaven,
not earth. The poor you will always have
with you No alchemy can change all the
woes Of life into happiness.
But there is another kind of evil, which
results from accidental conditions, which
shocks the Christian conscience. which
Man is born into this world to enjoy every
reasonable pleasure and happiness. And If
there are those who on account of social
conditions do not thus live, inasmuch as
that condition may be attributed to society,
it is a crime for society to tolerate it, And,
notwithstanding the progress made by the
working class in the last hundred years
a progress truly astonishing-that condi-
ton exists for large numbers.
Every man should receive for his labor
living wage; enough compensation to en-
able him to live in frugal comfort, to meet
demands Of his state, to see his family
grow, and to protect him against old age.
1t should not be necessary for the wife and
the mother, as well as the father, to leave
home and work, in order to supplement the
too small gain of the husband and father.
And civilization cries out against the in
iquity of young boys and girls of tender
age being obliged to work in factories, to
supplement both. Their eyes become blear-
ed, their bodies bent, they live in fetid
atmosphere. both physical and moral, and
never reach full development. Some of
these conditions are within the possibility
of remedy and ought to be remeded.

Demolishing Long Bridge.

Weather conditions may cause further
delay In the work Of taking apart the big
timbers forming the old Long bridge. For
several weeks past small parties of work.
men, when the weather would allow, have
worked, taking up rails and removing such
timbers as they could, but before the main
body of the bridge can be demolished con-
siderable pile driving must be done, and it
is said that a floating derrick will be nee
essary to handle the heavy timbers. About
a month ago a big raft of piles was
brought here for use at the bridge, and
everything was in readiness to send the
driver, derrick and the remainder of the
floating plant to the bridge, when the
freeze occurred and stopped the work.
