PORTLAND AGAIN SCORCHED
Maine Metropolis Suffers Another Dis
aStrous Fire,

Portland, Me-, Jan. 28.-Fire which
several times threatened to wipe out
the business district of this city and
which caused damage estimated at
over 100000 was kept confined to
the block in which 1t started after al
most ten hours fighting by Portland's
tiremen, aided by men and apparatus
from several outside cities.
The fire started in the wholesale
& Co. and it was in their half of the
building that the greater part of the
loss was sustained.
Later, when the fire was thought to
be under control, the other half of the
building, occupied by A. F. Cox &
Sons, was invaded by the flames,
which had made their way through
the roof and party wall simultane-
ously and the $250,O0O stock of boots
and shoes was ruined
A remarkable feature of the fire
was the entire absence of casualties.
One narrow escape is recorded, which,
had sufficient warning not been given,

some eight or ten mel. The crew of
engine No. 5 were standing beneath a
wall on the Market street side of the
burned block when an explosion was
heard, followed by the fall of the wall
The explosion had warned the men,
however, and all were out of the way
when the debris fell.

IOWA EDlTREss PROPOSES
Asserts Leap Year Preroq ss:ves in
Her Last Issue.

Des Moines, Jan. 28.-ExaSperated
over having lost a contest for the
county printing because she was a
woman Miss Elizabeth Soham, editor
of the Storm Lake Vidette, asserted
her leap year prerogatives this week
and in her current issue makes the
following proposal:
"a constant fight for what rightfully
belongs to her is a wear and tear on
the nervous system of any woman
md we have come to the belief that
In order to stay in newspaper work
and maintain our health we will have
to marry some good printer who can
do the fighting and swearing for us.
1t is leap year and this may be con-
sidered as proposal by any one who
would be qualified to fill the vacancy
so evident in the Vidette Office"
G. A. Craig, the bachelor editor of
the Lytton Star, believing that a pro-
posal of marriage coming from such a
talented woman could not be turned
down, has written his acceptance. In
his paper he says:
we ueHeFe we are ellSlDle TO Dill
the vacancy which Sister Soham feels
exists in her print shop. But before
we would agree to take up Lizzie's
burdens she will have to show cre-
dentials as to her eligibility to the
vacancy which we have known existed
for some time at our wigwam. She
must know how to make pancakes, fry
ham and eggs and make good coffee;
she must have the staying qualities to
chase soiled shirt up and down a
washboard until it becomes clean; she
must know how to darn socks and the
gable end of our trousers, etc. If the
fair editress feels like filling a va
cancy for a vacancy being filled we
stand ready to close the deal"

GREAT SECRECY MAINTAINED
Mrs. Eddy Removed From Concord, NJ.
H., TO Brookiine, Mass.

Boston, Jan. 28.-Mrs. Mary Baker
@. Eddy, head and founder of the
Christian Science church, under a
heavy guard and accompanied with
the utmost secrecy, was removed by
special train, with ell her household
attendants, from Pleasant View in
Concord, N. H., where she has lived
for nineteen years, to a new house in
the fashionable Chestnut hill section
of Brookline.
The coming was unheralded and
only few of the leaders of the Chris
tian Science church had been aware of
the contemplated change. Even the
train crew were commanded to main
tain absolute secrecy as to the trip
they were to make and the best men
in the service of the road were as
signed to the duty.
Preceded by a pilot engine to clear
the way the special train of three cars
left Concord and proceeded over three
railroads by circuitous route to the
Chestnut Hill station on the Boston
and Albany road.
Arriving In Brookline the party was
taken to the late r. Ashton Lawrence
estate, one of the most beautiful in all
Brookline, even before 100000 had
been spent in the last four months to
remodel it, and here Mrs. Eddy was
settled in her new home.

MEETS RAILROAD OFFICIALS
President Consulted Regarding
Feature OF Rate Law.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The operat-
ing vice presidents of many of the
large railroads of the country were re-
ceived by President Roosevelt and
presented request that in executing
what is known as the commodity
amendment of the railroad rate law
but one case be brought against the
railroads by the government, this case
to be finally disposed of by the SUI
preme court of the United States.
This, If agreed to by the government,
would mean that the roads owning
coal producing properties would not
sell them by May / next, as required
by the law, but could operate them as
heretofore until the disposal of the
test case. The law in question is re-
garded by the roads as unconstitu-
tional in that it requires the disposal
of property at what would be neces-
sarily sacrifice. The law also is
questioned on other grounds.
The president referred the railroad
men to the interstate commerce COM
mission, where, it is understood, the
question will be fully discussed and
report made to the president as to the
legal possibility of carrying out the
suggestion made.
Those who participated in the con-
ference beside the president were G.
R. Gray of the Frisco road, who acted
as chairman of the conferees on the
part of the railroads; /. G. Rawn, Illi-
nois Central; e. G. Buckland, New,
York, New Haven and Hartford; H.

CALLS 1T DISCOURTEOUS.
German Paper Discusses Speech of M
DeIcasse.

Berlin, Jan. 2S.--The temperance
on the scene of international politics
of M. Delcasse, who retired from the
post of minister of foreign affairs for
France In the summer of 1905 be-
cause of the crisis which had arisen
in connection with the Moroccan sit
uation, is the subject of an inspired
article in the Cologne Gazette, which
says:
whether or not the present is a
suitable moment for France to bring
up old controversies Is a question for
the French government and people to
decide. We are of the contrary opin-
ion. The Moroccan question cannot
yet be regarded from historical
standpoint; 1t should be considered
rather as a center of the liveliest in
terest and 1t may yet lead to discus
sion between France and Germany
which will not be made easier by a
leading politician, such as M. Del
casse. striking Chauvinistic notes
amid the applause of the chamber.
The fact that M. Delcasse's declara-
tion regarding Morocco in the cham
ber of deputies last week called forth
applause from large section of the
house confirms our view that clever
Chauvinism always impresses a
French audience. We must, under
these circumstances, maintain the
same calmness as formerly when more
violent discourtesies were extended
TO u.s."

1898, which was one of the results of
the great Chicago strike, was invoked
for Coppage's protection and the dis
trict court fined Adair S100. The con-
stttutionality of the act was strenu-
ously attacked in the district court by
the railroad attorneys and when the
decision was announced they prompt
ly brought the case to the supreme
court with the result that the decision
of the lower court was reversed. In
his decision Justice Harlan held it
was Adair's right to serve his en-
ployer as best he could so long as he
did nothing forbidden by law as con-
trary to the public welfare.

LAW HELD DREPUGNANT
Employees May Be Discharged for
Belonging to Labor Unions.
OPINION BY JUDGE HARLAN

Federal Supreme Court Decides Rail-
roads Have Right to Dismiss Union
Men as Such Despite Congressional
Prohibition.
Washington, Jan. 2S.-The constitu-
tionality of the act of congress of June
1, 1898, prohibiting railroad companies
engaged In interstate commerce from
discriminating against members of
labor organizations in the matter of
employment, was called into question
by the case of William Adair VS.. the
United States, which was decided by
the supreme court of the United
States favorable to Adair. The opin-
ion was by Justice Harlan and held
the law to be repugnant to the Con-
stitution.
The court held that Adair, as mas
ter mechanic of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad company. had a
right to discharge an employe be-
cause he was member of labor or
ganization just as 1t was the en-
ploye's right to quit such employment
because of his membership In such
organization. Such course, the de-

cision added, might be unwise, but,
regarded as a mere matter of right,
there could be no doubt Congress
could not, under the Constitution, au-
thorize violation of contracts under
the guise of protecting interstate
commerce.
Justice McKenna delivered a dis
senting opinion favorable to the law,
in which he said the courts decision
proceeds along very narrow lines.
The case came to the supreme court
on writ of error from the United
States district court for the Eastern
district of Kentucky. Adair is the
master mechanic of the Louisville and
Nashville road and he was proceeded
against on the charge of threatening
to discharge from the employ of the
company locomotive engineer named
Coppage because the latter was a
member Of labor union. The act Of
