Business Recovery.
From the New York Herald.

When train after stopping again
starts ahead nobody expects 1t to shoot
off at top speed. There is always pre-
liminary putting and choo- chooing until
it gets fully under way. Ii is just the
same with business when it begins to
get up speed after being brought to a
virtual standstill by a crisis. That in
dustry and trade, have started up on
all sides is universally conceded; but no
one has been foolish enough to assert
that they had yet attained a maximum
rate of progress. The only rational
theory advanced by the bear party in
Wall street for the reaction in securities,
however. is their protested disappoint-
ment that Improvement in the business of
tho country is not 50 rapid as some over
sanguine spirits had led them to believe.

nothing more Is heard OF it for four years.
The proposition to move Inauguration

never been before the House. There is

sentiment in the House and Senate in
favor Of the change and indeed the Sem

trouble has been that the House has new

Anacostia
SAYS the Puffalo Express:

"A Washington authority says that the
Anacostia bridge is unsafe. OF course,
with such name.
1t is amazing that there should be sucn
an ignorance. "Anacostia!' Why, the
very name is redolent of history. 1t tells
volumes of the old days of wampum and
the council fire and stone hatchets, the
warpath and such like. When the white
men came into this region they recos-
nized the native strength of the name and
preserved it as the title of the then noble
stream flowing past the spot that after
ward became the teeming metropolis OF
Bladensburg. On the one side OF the
capital site was the Potomac then spelled
Powtowmack, and on the other side the

China's Awakening.
From the New York Tribune.

The awakening of China must now be
accepted as an assured and indeed a
partially accomplished fact. 1t differs
widely in many respects from the awak-
ening of Japan, partly because of the
difference in the manner and circum-
stances of It's achievement and partly.
perhaps chiefly. because OF the radical
difference in the genius of the people.
But it Is no less real and is likely to
prove no less significant to the world.
We may date it from the time of the
war between Russia and Japan. and may
credit it largely to that war as one of
it's unattended and perhaps unexpected
results There had been sporadic symp-
toms of unrest and Of uprising in China
before that. but since then the movement
has proceeded at rate really startling
to those who have imagined the orient
to be necessarily and invariably conserva-
tive and slow.

from the page with his forehead wrinkled.
for there was strange gasping. gurgling
sound in his ear. He thought the wires
were crossed and pulled out the plug.
The brass tab was still down and there
was humming from the buzZer. Willie
jammed in the plug again and bawled for
the number.

Jimmie jumped for the elevator. When
he got to the fourth floor he leaped out
and threw himself against the door of the
Henry apartment He smelled smoke and
he heard fearful noises.
Jimmie broke the door open and there
in the hall on the floor under the nang-
ling telephone receiver he saw a woman
writhing in flames. Nothing but her face
was visible through the smoke and the
red tongue Of fire.
The boy gave a yell and threw rug
about the burning woman. Others from
nearby apartments hurried in. They
brought fire extinguishers and sprayed
the carpet where 1t was burning about
the woman. After doctor In the house
