A COSTLY LITTLE BLAZE.

Wliith Woulil llnvo 1'roved a Very Damnglug One If Not Dlscovoreil Just When It Wan.

Last evening about 0 o'clock Rob Krout stepped out of the back door of Laymon's cigar store and happened to glance into the rear window of James Kelley's shoe store. He was considerably startled to notice a merry little fire blazing out among the drawers 011 the west side of the store well toward the rear. The fire alarm was hastity turned in and the department on hand before the bell had ceased to toll. When the doors were broken open great volumes of suffocating smoke poured out and it was some Seconds before the members of the department were able to enter. The fire had gained but little headway, so it could be fought at close range. Accordingly the chemical lire extinguishers were called into requisition and in a very few minutes the fire was out, a few buckets of water being used to do the final work. The origin of the fire is unknown. It began in a large drawer filled with strings and shoemaker's upplies and might l.ave smouldered there for hours before it was discovered. It might have been occasioned by mice and matches, by the ever deadly cigar stub, or in fifty other likely and improbable ways. Just how it did occur,, however, will never be known.

Speaking of the fire Mr. Kclley said: "I place my loss all the way from ?1,200 to SI,500. To look at the ravages of the fire one would not suppose the loss to be so great. Still it is. The damage is confined principally to rubber and winter goods. They were all heated through and through last night. Now this drawer of rubber boots shows 110 perceptible damage They are probably all right, yet when cold they may not last a week. They will have to be sold as damaged and at ruinous prices. So you see just how it is. It is very fortunate that the loss was not greater. Tuesday night boxes containing over

SHOO

worth of light

summer goods were piled up over those very drawers where the fire was. The boys just finished marking and moving them last night at supper time."

The loss is fully insured. Mr. Kclley has S2,000 in the American Central with Cumberland & Miller, 52,000 in the Niagara with with C. W. Wright, $:),00H in the Pluenix of Brooklyn, with Morgan & Lee, 82,000 in the Indiana Un derwriters' and 83,000 in the Concordia with Voris & Stilwell.

A l'lea#au1 Surprise.

On Monday morning, May 7th, Mrs Frank I'. Brown started on a flying visit among friends in Putnam and Monroe counties. Among the visits planned for the trip was one with her brother, Rev. R. T. VanCleave, of Iiloomington. During her absence her friends at home conceived the idea of giving her a royal reception 011 her return. Consequently a day was appointed and through the kindness of her husband, Mr. Frank P. lirown they gained access to her house. Mrs. Emma Clouse and Mrs. Belle Brush, superintending affairs, deliberately proceeded to renovate the house by re moving the cook stove to the summer kitchen and otherwise arranging things for the convenience of the summer work. When the day arrived for Mrs, B.'s return they had things in perfect readiness for her coming. Dinner was prepared and just such a meal as those women knew how to serve. The neighbors and friends were congregated to the number of forty, prepared to enjoy her surprise. Mr. Brown met her at the noon train at Ladoga having directed his niece to have all doors closed and blinds down at o'clock sharp. At that time they drove up to the door, Mrs. IS. remarking that things looked lonesome, little thinking that behind those blinds were two score of friends in readiness to to pounce upon her as soon as she should enter. Iler surprise Can better be imagined than described. Mr. even went so far as to unlock the door when instead of empty rooms she was met by the laughing crowd. All pres ent enjoyed the occasion. After greetings were over all gave individual at tention to the table, loaded with rich viands. The afternoon soon passed away. And now as Mrs. Brown remembers the occasion she is reminded of the kind hearts of those who planned for her a surprise.

Mary II. Krout On Her Travels Social and I'olltlcal Malter*.

Tiik .louRNWl. is indebted to Miss Mary II. .Krout for copies af Christchurch, New Zealand, pnpen of April IS, at which time she was in that city. Of her presence there the Time* says:

Miss Mary 11. Krout, an American lady journalist who is making a tour of New Zealand, and contributing descriptive articles to the Chicago InterOixuu, arrived in Christchnrch yesterday morning, after having travelled through the greater part of the North Island. In the course of the day Miss Krout visited the Normal School, where she gave an interesting address to the girls in the higher standards. Referring to the extension of the franchise to women in New Zealand, Miss Krout expressed a hope that it would be wisely exercised but she cautioned her hearers against being precipitate in entering into public life, as she held it was sufficient if woman's influence carried the ethics of home into politics, leaving men to do the work of legislation and government as hitherto. Miss Krout's stay in Christchurch is to be of very limited duration, as she intends leaving this forenoon.

The Wellington correspondent of the Christchurch .Sfur thus makes mention of her Hying trip:

Miss Mary 11. Krout arrived in Wellington on Saturday xiight, and left yesterday for Christchurch in company with Mr. Joyce, member for Lytteton. She interviewed Sir R. Stout and the Hon. W. P. Reeves at Rotorua, and went on thence to Napier in company with Mr. Blow, Under-Secretary for Public Works. At Napier Mr. Joyce joined the party. Duriug her stay in Wellington Miss Krout had interviews with the Premier, Colonial Treasurer and Minister of Lands, and also visited various departments in the Government offices. Her progress through the south must necessarily be rapid, and her stay in Sydney and Melbourne will be brief, for she intends leaving Sydney for San Francisco three weeks hence. The lady has been engaged in journalistic work at Chicago for the past nine years, and was sent to Honolulu some months ago, at the time American annexation appeared probable, in order to "write up" the Sandwich Islands. After finishing her work there, she was commissioned for a trip

New Zealand and Australia, using tiie utmost expedition. She hopes, on her return, to obtain leave to make a more .eisurely tour of these colonies, in oiVL to "do"' them thoroughly.

Editorially the Timet comments on on Miss Krout visit and gives her impressions of New Zealand in regard to social and political matters: "This colony being well to the front in the movement for the complete emancipation of women, it is fitting that the inpressions of a cultivated and observant woman regarding our land, its people and its institutions, should be placed upon record. Miss Mary II.Krout, a journalist from Chicago, lias spent some time traveling thorugh these islands, and has seen more of the country than perhaps the majority of colonists have done—Having traveled overland from Auckland to Wellington, via Rotorus and Napier, and on to Christchurch by steamer. She has, moreover, traveled with her eyes open and has had opportunities of conversing with Cabinet Ministers, prominent politicians and officials of State. In a snug parlor at Warner's Hotel, this lady talked freely of her impressions of New Zealand. She expressed herself as being simply charmed with the eountn-y—its scenic beauties, its natural wonders and the generous hospitality of its people. On the last-named point she was especially enthusiastic, for she had come on here quite unexpected from Honolulu, and had misgivings as to how she would be received, having no formal introductions or credentials.

She hud, however, always been warmly welcomed everywhere she went and treated with a consider tion and kindness she would never forget. Leaving the sentimental for the practical. Miss Krout declared that what impressed her most in New Zealand was the almost miraculous prog ress in material matters that a mere handful of people—little more, even now, than the population of one of Chicago's suburbs—had made in the course of half a century. The public roads she thought far superior to those of America, and she was struck by the solidity and permanence of our public buildings, harbor works, &c. Evidently the people here had the English characteristics of persistence and thoroughness. It was different in America, where things were "rushed" ahead too rapidly. "And your beautiful, clean cities, too, are quite a contrast to those of the United States."

re

In the course of her travels Miss Krout has been delighted with the excellence of what she calls our "little wayside taverns." No matter how isolated these may have been, she always found strict cleanliness and good cooking at them—better accommodation for travelers, in fact, than she has found in similar situations anywhere. Our railroad and steamboat traveling, she frankly said, could not be compared. with the American but, considering all things, especially the cost of of railway construction in our broken country, she thought it was very good indeed. Miss Krout is "advanced'' in her political ideas, and she has been highly pleased to observe how we, in this colony are—not experimenting.she said, but quietly putting into practice the theories which they in the United States were only discussing. She thoroughly approved of the franchise being extended to women, and of all disability of sex being removed in matters of employment and remuneration. In polities she thought women's influence would be best exercised in purging public life of men of bad character. No she had not called to see the lady Mayor of Onehunga. In fact, she deprecated women entering upon a public career until they were qualified by years of training for it, as their errors would be magnified and their good works lightly esteemed. There was no real competition between men and women each had their sphere in which they were supreme. In her own case, she had been doing "men's work" for years, but she did not do it in a man's way, and therefore it in no way clashed with men's interests."
