Pathetic Scene.

One rather pathetic scene was en-
acted during the fire in getting out
two of the horses.
When the fire was at its height all
of the horses had been gotten out but
two; they were in the extreme rear
end of the building when the fire was
burning the worst and it seemed their
loss was almost certain. The horses
could be seen through the windows
rearing up in their stalls and heard
Hickering as if calling for hell as the
flames and smoke was crowding in
on them. Dennis Daniels, a we'll
known and respected colored citizen,
who had heard the horses calling for
help in their mute way, could not
stand the scene and he went to Ike
Tracy, who was in the front of the
building fighting the flames, and with
tears rolling down his cheeks, beg
ged Mr.. Tracy to go with him and
help get the horses out; assuring Mr..
Tracy that if he was overcome with
the smoke he would stay with him as
long as he could and get him out. Mr.
Tracy assuring him the same support
the two men started crawling on their
hands and feet through the burning
building to where the horses were
and released them from their per-
ilous position. The blankets on the
horses when they were brought out
were afire. The men could have TAX
en- no greater chances with their hy-
es or displayed any more bravery to
have saved a human life than they
did to get these two horses out

CLAY ADVOCATE
OF SIMPLE LIFE
Senator Opposes Higher Salary For
PreSident-lncreaSe is
Too Great.

Washington, Jan. 16-An amend
ment in the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill increasing
the salary of the president to $780,
00G. of the vice president and speak
er Of the house of representatives to
$4,000, with $4,000 additional allow
ances for carriages and coachmen for
the vice president and speaker, and
increases for the judiciary aggregat-
ing $32S,500, precipitated lively dis
cussion in the senate.
Senator Borah of Idaho made q
point of order against these increases
on the ground that they involve gen.
eral legislation. which, according to
the rules of the senate, can not be
placed in an appropriation bill in
face OF a single objection. The de-
bate centered upon the first of the
amendments objected to, which was
to increase the salary of the speaker
of the house of representatives, and
vGriocs criticisms were called forth
against such extensive advance OF
salaries.
Mr.. Clay spoke against the pro-
posed increases, which, he said, ag-
grCsatod S404, 500. He based his OPP
position en- the ground that the addi-
tons were too great, and said he
would not oppose smaller ones. The
appropriation for the navy this year,
he predicted, would amount to $780,
100000, and thus be more than ever
carried in any appropriation bill for
that purpose.
He insisted that he had no feeling
against the newly elected president,
but he thought that the time had
come when congress should consider
these expenditures. He had been anx-
ious to know how much money was
spent for keeping up the White
House, but had not been able to get
the figures.
IF the president were called upon
to pay. all these expenses said Mr..
Clay, 100000 a year would not be
too much - Tie president, he said,
should have enough salary to live in
dignity, but he was convinced that
sumptuous living would not rebound
to the benefit of the country.
''The simple life" he said, plain
living and high thinking, bring the
best results"

CLYDE GAINES
STABLE BURNS
Another Costly Fire Visits Winches-
fer at Midnight
Friday.

The city was visited by another
costly confagration at midnight Fri
day night, when fire the origin of
which is unknown, almost completely
destroyed the livery stable of Clyde
Gaines on Court street, entailing a
loss of nearly $4,000, which is fully
covered by insurance. The fire orig
mated in the loft and had gained con-
siderable Roadway before it was dis
covered, and had it not been for the
hard work an dheroic efforts of the
fire laddies after their arrival, it
would have probably resulted in the
costliest confagration in the history
of the city.

rear of it is the big Miller stables,
which for time the spreading of the
flames to it and the other adjoining
buildings seemed almost inevitable,
and if they had, there would have
