caused the death OF Albert E. WAL

Five previous attempts were made to
burn the lodge. Wallace, 1t was learned
to-day, made heroic effort to save him
self. He also made an effort to preserve
the breeding records of his dogs. These,
with various grips. clothing and keep
sakes, were found strewn over the lawn.
Wallace had thrown these things from
the second-story window. II is proba BILE
that he was crushed when the building
collapsed. His body was reduced TO
ashes.
The fire was discovered at 40 o'clock
A. NJ. yesterday. The flames licked UP
the woodwork so quickly that Wallace
was evidently overcome before he real
ised how speedily the blaze was spread.

Sometimes when man wants a drink he wants II zeal bad. Also, he will have 1t on some terms. if human ingenuity can accomplish it. As ad example. take the case of an Atlanta man who had arrived at a point where the drink was a vital necessity. Learning that dentist of the city gave his patients stiff bracer of whiskey before pulling a tooth the dry as-dust man went to the shop, got his drink and had the tooth yanked out. He enjoyed the process so much that he took three more drinks and give up three more teeth. We are not told whether he quit because he had enough or because the teeth gave out. but contemporary suggests that when he has no more teeth to spare he might substitute his fingers and toes. "A tooth for a drink" appears to be his motto, and We shouldn't be sur prised to learn that the Atlanta den lists are doing a rushing. and pulling business.

Cry of Distress.

New York Mail. (Rep)
 When MT. Bryan was nominated at Denver last month The Evening Mail expressed the opinion that he would poll more votes than any other Demo- crat that could be named. That opinion Is confirmed more and more as the campaign progresses, for we doubt whether any close observer of political current questions the fact that many Democrats have determined to go back to their party, and that many infiuen- tIal Democratic leaders, heretofore strongly anti Bryan. are now urging the election of their National ticket It did not seem probable. before Mir. Bryans nomination, that he could mus ter these forces behind his candid Icy Nevertheless. he has done so with Marse Henry Watterson, who in IS96 refused to t'march through a slaughter house into an open grave" as the en. thusiastic leader of the returning prod. igals.
 The effect on the campaign Is tha. Bryan is stronger today than he waE at the time of his nomination, and Re. publicans who desire to have their par- ty win at the polls in November mueT make up their minds that a stiff con- test is ahead of them. The last three National campaigns have put Republi- cans in the mood to anticipate Demo. cratic defeat under any and all condi tions. That feeling of security against Democratic victory can not be too quickly put aside. Democratic vic- tory Is not impossible, particularly IT Mir Bryan continues to T al he has gained to date.

f;row,h Of Americap Tea.

Philadelphia Inquirer,
 Dr. Charles U. shepard. who presides merville, N. C.. is enthusiastic about the prospects of American tea,
 He says there is plenty of land Tn the south suited for tea growing, ana that 1t would afford a heaithfui and number of persons. The tea grown at this place has a distinct and char acteristic flavor
 In pr shepard.s laboratory and lecture room there he gives lectures picture of cooiie rolling the tea leaves with his feet That Is the way they do 1t In China. 1t Is stated, as all argument in favor of home tea, that the preparation of tea In the orient IS an extremely filthy process.
 The very top shoot of the tea plant Is called pekoe tip "Pekoe. means 'eys-lash." That is the choicest.
 The next leaf, the second In excel ience. Is called orange pekoe,. the third pekoe, the fourth first soochong ana the fifth second sooehong. The diff ferent grades of tea are named after these leaves.
 For general commercial purposes he has the pekoe tips and the next two or three leaves. as mentioned before picked, and makes his tea of a mixture of these, He sells for charity shelter tea, which is grown under mating and contains minimum of theine. the nerve tonic, and so Is particularly place in which shelter tea is grown IS Japan.
 There is little demand for the very highest grades of tea in this country Once a man in the east made two pounds of tea entirely of pekoe tips. which is about the same as collecting two pounds of eye-lashes, He sold 1t for $e40 Q pound and then died.

CUTS BOTH WAYS.

The Kansas City Journal comments at some length on the many signs of prosperity evident in most sections, and in approved Republican style at- tributes all of it to Republican rule and to the prospect of 8 continuance of that rule. It. calls attention to the fact that there Is yet considerable con- servatism apparent among buyers. which 1t claims is due to the fact that they are yet doubtful of the result of the November elections. "In other words" 1t says. the revival of pros- perity awaits the result of the presi- dentiaI and congressional elections. Shall it be Taft and peace, progress and prosperity, or Bryan and four years more of political agitation and industrial unrest? It ought not to be hard--all political theories aside--for any sensible voters to decide that question:"
 Very well put from the strictly Re- publican point of view but why not reverse the argument? Let us take the position that returning prosperity is due to the hope that the reign of Rooseveltlsm Is nearing It's end and that the prospects of Democratic ad- ministration are encouraging. Let us also assume that business men general ly are acting with conservatism be- cause they fear continuance of Re- publican domination, and are therefore unwilling 10 take any unnnecessary risks.
 Is not that line of argument really sounder and more reasonable than The Journalist That paper knows. as all others know, that the panic, with all its discouraglng and trying results and accessories, came on us when all de- partments of the government were wholly and completely controlled by the Republicans. It knows that the Democrats were in no wise respon- sible for the trouble. and that if poll tics had anything to do with the trouble 1t was the politics of its own party. It knows further that the panic came in an off-year when there was no prospect of an early accession of Democrats to power. In short if # was a political panic it was Re- publican one.
 |.
 Considering all these known and in- disputabie facts we think the Republi- can brethren should be careful about their arguments and deductions. There is an old saying about throwing stones which the expedition would do well to heed. They might also do we'll to bear in mind that there are such things as boomerangs in argu- ment as well as in other things. If there Is doubt in business circles, 1t may well be because business fears a continuation of my policies" if Taft is elected.

A Bargain RaIIroaa Ticket.

The next time you go to Switzerland try buying a railroad ticket covering a month and travel about here. there and everywhere as the spirit moves you. This advance Is passed on from The Travel magazine for July Third class accommodations on Swiss trains are very good.
 "A ticket for a month, third class, costs just SIP. and upon its expiration (midnight on the thirtieth day) $1 Is refunded. This makes the thing so cheap that you feel quite coyly reluct- ant to take back that .five-franc piece after you've had such priceless good time for thirty whole days and nights say night: if you want to travel nights you can. and save your hotel bill"
 But the inns of the Alpine country are so charming in their. neatness and cheapness that you will not often be tempted to curl up on the hard seat of your third-class carriage for noe turnal rides. The ticket. however. Is not limited in any way except as to time. Tn other words. it is not mile age ticket but time ticket. You can get on the train anywhere, al any tlne' and ride any distance at your pleasure. during the period you have paid for. The folder contains your photograph. which must be furnished at your ex- pense.
 "There are certain small sections Of the country where these tickets are not good without the payment or sup Elementary fare. This Is levied, for In. stance, upon roads ascending very steep grades. where the rack -and -pinion system is used. such as the approach to Zermatt from Visp. The extra ex- nense. however. Is not heavy ana the lines over which these tickets are 1,,ss roe tn folder. SooLIe+s are issued for periods greater or less than month. and for first. sec ond and third class. as your taste or pocketbook urges.

A SHAMEFUL STORY.

The following pathetic--and shame ful--story is from The Pittsburg Sun:
 The story that two little babies in this community died of starvation and neglect while their father Is in the that friends of the poverty-stricken mother tried to get medical and other assistance for the children. carries it's own comment on the wickedness of that system which tolerates such parentage, which punishes mans family for his misjeeds and which permits any person to suffer and die who might be saved if there were more humanity, less callous selfishness in the world.
 We'll might we ask. Gan such things be?" for 1t hardly seems pos- sihle in this Christian land and this en- lightened age that anything like this could occur. yet The Sun is a reliable newspaper and we have no reason to doubt the story as printed, Is 1t pos sible that in a great city, there could not be found some kind woman, or some good Samaritan, to give these starving little ones food and medi-
 
 the mother tried to get food and medi- cine for the starving children is a very poor excuse. Not one of those friends was so poor that he or she could not have spared morsel of food in such a case. and they must have a brutal set of doctors and druggists in Pittsburg if they would allow a baby to die from lack of medicine merely because there was no one to pay for 1t. We Lave q better opinion of the medical fraternity than that.
 The evident intent of The Sun to charge this shameful occurrence to the misdeeds of the father. or to the penal system which takes a criminal away from his family is not sound argu- ment Men must be punished for their crimes and we know of no method that could be adopted by which crimi- nal husband and father can be pun ished without incidentally punishing the wife and children. That. however is no reason why they should be al lowed to suffer and die for want of food and medicine. If that incident is a fair sample of Pittsburgers it might be a good plan to send mis- slonaries there.
