II was no easy thing to see her go

From all its moorings, and controls her

so alone she believes that she can win

India, for Il is regarded her fault that
her husband is taken, even though he
dies when she is a child-wife of years,
The mother-in-law considers 1t her OBJ

before his wife, and when he is absent
his letters are addressed to his mother.

as he sends greeting to the children and

1t is always the mother element which
the oriental man recognizes and the wife
is made to submit to whatever indignity
is placed on her by the mother-in-law.
And cuTiously enough, whatever she
may suffer from this source she does not
spare her own daughter-in-law when, IN

FIRE THIS MORNING.

Shortly before nine O'Clock this
morning 4 fire suddenly burst out under
the stairway of the residence OF Mr..
Charles Dilger; on the west side OF
Columbus street, between Wythe and
Madison. There are about twenty
frame residences in the row, and the
greatest excitement prevailed. Furnl-
tnre was removed from nearly all the
houses and placed on the sidewalk and
the vacant lot opposite, as there was
every reason to suppose the entire row
was doomed to destruction. Fortunate
calm prevailed and the quick response
OF the fire department prevented what
might have proven one of the most
disastrous contlagrations in the history
Of Alexandria. Had brisk northwest
wind been prevailing at the time there
is no telling where the fire would have
ended. The engines we're soon at work
and by the able manner in which the
fire was handled it was virsually con-
fined to Mr.. Dllger's house, although
adjoining houses occupied by Messrs'
Charles Finuegan, Howard Harrison,
Edwin Corbin, aad others we're seriously
damaged. It is supposed the fire was
caused by rats gnawing matches which
had fallen under the stairway.
Mrs. Finney lost s25, which was on
manteipiecc when the fire started,
and gold watch and chain belonging
to Mr.. digger WAS lost about the same
time
The houses occupied by Harrison and
Corbin are owned by Jonathan Mat
thews: that occupied by Finnegan is
owned by T. NJ. Burton, Of Lorton
Valley, and that OF Mr.. Dilger by Lula
B. Ellis. Each house was insured for
$500 and the total loss will reach about
81, 900.
