with this. Chief Kulczyk also secured
the affidavit of Harry c. Shaw. AIS
State street, who swears that he was
present when the argument started,
saw Stevens put the man out of his
place. but did not follow him out and
consequently did not see a blow
struck.
This testimony seems to be corrobo-
ratfve to a certain extent. in that both
men agree that Stevens was in the act
of putting the man out of his place.
There Is another witness for whom
the police are looking. He gave his
name as A. woseke and said he was
employed and lived in Gary. 1t is said
that this witness would be valuable In
completing the chain of evidence
against Stevens.
While the state has been able to
build up quite a case against Stevens.
1t is understood that Attorneys Boone
and Dyer. who are to represent the de-
PENDANT, are already Working on a
good defense.
Defens- Has Case.
1t is understood that the defense
will clai mthat Sonnanstine was Gre
ating disturbance; that Stevens was
anxious to avoid trouble in his place:
that he put the man out and when he
got to the street gave him shove to
get him away from the door: that
Sonnanstine tripped and fell and suf-
fered a fracture of the skull.
The defense will make an effort to
show that Stevens record has been
good, that he could not have had MUIR
der in his heart and that the whole af-
fair was deplorable and unfortunate.
On the other hand 1T is understood
that relatives of the deceased intend
to bring action against Stevens
bondsmen with the idea of recovering
heavy damages as a result of Sonnan-
stine's death.
The coroner's verdict has not yet
been returned. Deputy Coroner
Shanklin said that there were other
witnesses to be heard That was all
he would say about the case. Chief
of Police John Kulczyk of West Ham
mond said that he tried to get some
information from Shanklin regarding
the case, but that all he could get out
of him was the statement that the YER
dict has not Yet been signed.

A very pleasant prediction has been
made by a college sociologist that the
United States is due for wal in 1890
and that this nation will be in the
wrong, as probably by reason of its
wealth and importance, 1t will have
become an international bully. He
bases this assertion on the evidence
of history. But to offset this are the
facts that the direct rule of the people
is becoming more and more the ma
.tional ideal Of government, and that
with the people as a whole vitality in
control. the peace sentiment will be
stronger than ever. 1t is upon the
masses. not the classes, that the hor
Yors of war chiefly fall, and the ele
ment OF self-interest will then be more
engaged in the preservation of peace
than ever before in the history of thu
world. In the meantime, potentia
academic wars need not seriously al
feet the national peace of mind.

TRMNMEN MUST Be POLITE
Georgia Court Rules That "Woman" Not
Term of Reproach.

Atlanta, Ga.-Georgia railroads must
employ modern Chesterfields as conduct
ors and brakemen if they would be free
of a certain class of damage suits-and
the word woman" as used by news
papers is not a term of ~reproach, &C
cording to decisions rendered in the
state court of appeals.
The court held that Mrs. T. ]. Crabb
can collect 500 damages from the
Southern railway because q rough brake
man failed to assist her to board a
train at Rock Mart.
1t also held that the use of the good
American word woman was perfectly
proper in ruling on the case of Mrs. Fan
ME Reynolds, who was awarded $7OC
damages against the Georgia Southern
and Florida railroad. In the trial of her
suit in the lower court her attorney
argued that the term woman" used in
a newspaper article was one OF reproach
The court ruled otherwise.

100000 FIRE At I
HOUSTON, TEXAS
MANUFACTURING AND RESIDENT
IAL DISTRICT BURNS.
Was Driven Beyond Control BY Fierce
Norther.-53,0O 900 Bales Cotton
Burned.

Houston, Texas.-Houston was visited
early Wednesday morning by the most
destructive fire in the history OF the city
one of the most destructive that ever
visited any city in the state. The loss
will total between four and a hall n
five and a half millions, while hundreds
of men were left without employment,
due to the destruction of industrial
plants, and other hundreds of men, wo-
men and children were left destitute,
many of them having barely escaped
from their burning homes with a few
clothes to cover them.
The fire originated in an old two-story
wooden building near the yards of the
Southern Pacific, and was swept by =
terrific northwest gale, cleaning a path
from three to seven blocks in width
and fully a mile and a half in length,
taking store buildings, a Catholic church
and school, handsome homes, pretty cot
tages, small shacks, large industrial
~plants-among them two of the largest
congresses in the state-and a large
warehouse, together with a total of ap.
proximately 10000 bales of cotton, more
than 100 box. and oil tank cars.
Work of compiling in detail a list OF
the losses has not been completed, nor
will it be for another day at least, but
there are none who even attempt to
place the total destruction at a figure
below the gigantic sum of $7,000,oOo.
The destroyed area is in what is known
as the Fifth ward for the most part, and
lies in the northeastern section of the
city, and it comprised both a dwelling
and manufacturing section. The Houston
ship canal divides the city, running east
and west, and it was not until the con
ilagration had reached its banks that the
slightest Roadway could be made toward
checking it, and it was almost by super
human effort that the line of destruction
ended there.
There were thrilling escapes. A seven
months'-old child, Charles A. Favor, Jr.
suffering from cerebro spinal meningitis
was dying in his sick bed directly in the
path of the flames. Owing to the nature
of his illness, no one wanted to take thu
child into n home, even rescuers Stunned
the sick child.
Finally, when it became apparent tina
the house must burn the mother picked
the little body up in her arms and car
ried her boy tenderly across the railroad
tracks and over refuse-strewn streets t.
a dim-lighted and cold switch shanty
Here she sat out the rest of the night
holding the stricken child.

MEN TEACHE RS.

Recently there has been much dis
cussion in educational circles OF the
need Of men teachers in the higher
grades, and some effort has been made
to attract them to the work. without
any ~appreciable results. There must
be something about the calling OF the
1eacher-either its pecuniary reward
or its range of opportunities-that Is
inadequate to attract and hole men
who might take up this calling as a
life work. The average man teacher
uses his position as a makeshift. a
stepping-stone and means of livelihood
while he studies for the law. h medi'
cine or some other profession, says
the st. Paul Pioneer Press. Usually
the man teacher leaves at the earliest
opportunity for more f1attering and
lucrative fields of %endeavor. 1t would
seem that teaching would be the mos
enjoyable work for the student OF
books and of human nature, but the
fact remains that men as a rule &c
not so regard It 1t must be admitted
that the profession of teaching does
not hold the financial attractions oil
men that are offered in other probes
sions. The years of preparation re
Quired, the constant study necessary
the investment in books and other ex
penses make a severe drain on the
teachers income, which is small al
best. If it be true that there is a real
demand for more men teachers, the
chances are that the demand will be
supplied when the compensation IL
made commensurate with the service.

The statistics of the fire department
of New York show that at least rs
per cent of the fires in that city are
caused by the careless use of matches
and of lighted cigars and cigarettes.
Is it not time that this awful risk to
others by careless smokers should be
taken account of by the law? 1t is
not a trivial matter. The tossing
aside Of lighted matches and cigar
butts without seeing where they land
should be as much of a penal offense
as bomb-throwing or incendiarism. A
careless cigarette. as far as known,
caused the great fire in Baltimore, one
of the biggest in the worlds history
and wholly p~reventable. A careless
match caused the recent fire In New
York, with it's loss of valuable life and
much loss of property-aIso wholly
preventable. The careless user OF
spark of fire is an enemy of the pub
lie welfare and ought to be treated a!
such. We are as yet primitive in on
outlook upon vital facts.
