THERE

is a lively demand for hick­

ory firewood in New York city, the nabobs preferring that variety to burn in open fireplaces. The suppiy is principally obtained from the Catskills and eastern Pennsylvania, but the genuine shellbark is becoming very scarce and commands a iancy price.

TWKNTY-SEVKN" States have legislated against the cigarette in one form or another, but the annual consrmption of the baneful product increases at an alarming rate in spite of all restrictions. The intense nervous strain, that is a National characteristic, is fist transforming the American people into a nation of cigarette smokers.

LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL, the •distinguished English statesman, is said to besuD'ering from an incurable disease, which necessitates, or at least for which he uses, alcoholic Stimulants to excess. Recently, in Parliament, while under the "inflooence," he developed the usual symptoms of a maudlin drunk and gave the dignified body an exhibition of clownish antics that disgusted his friends and gratified his enemies.

THE pie industry in New York city has reached vast proportions. All manner of labor-saving devices have been brought into use to increase the profits on the traffic. There is now said to be a huge fae*"tory in operation whose sole output is "lemon pie filling". The ''stuff' is hauled about the city and delivered at restaurants and bakeries in orclinar\' woo ion buckets. The idoa is not specially appetizing, but almost anvthinLT "goes" in Gotham.

QUEEN VICTORIA is becoming exclusive, and the official announcement that only 200 presentations will be made at each of the two "drawing rooms," to be given in May, has thrown any number of maids and dames into hysterical indignation. Such arbitrary limitations are entirely unprecedented, and have added to the already ominous dissatisfaction and strife against the royal family and the House of Lords.

REPRESENTATIVE JKURV SIMPSON. the sockiess statesman of Kansas, is fathering a scheme looking to the co-operation of the United States and Canada in the construction of a canal from the Georgian Bay, on the east shore of Lake Huron, by way of Lake Siincoe and other smaller lakes to Lake Ontario, thus saving 800 miles of the present route via Lake Erie and the Welland Canal. It is estimated that not over 100 miles of the new route will have to be excavated.

THE disestablishment of the English church in Wales has recently been proposed in the House of Commons by Mr. Asquith, Home Secretary in the present English cabinet. Mr, Asquith asserted that Welshmen regarded the Church of England as an aggressive and sectarian power that was a constant irritation and1 source of discord. The gross income of the Church in Wales is £279,000 per annum. Under the act proposed this sum will be utilized for hospitals, parish halls, libraries, laborers' dwellings, etc. Several members of the late Salisbury cabinet vigorously opposed the change, and the matter is still unsettled.

TnE city "dads" of Newburg, N. Y.,

are in a dilemma because the "mams" have knocked out theirscheme to raise $50,000 for a new' city hall by additional taxation. Under the new law in that State women are permitted to vote, at all municipal elections at which laxpayers are liable to have additional burdens placed upon them. The ladies exhibited a great deal of independence on this initial occasion, and' gave every one to understand that, •they did not care who saw their tickets or knew how they voted. They voted their sentiments and. were prepared to abide the consequences.

The Rev. Myron W.

Tho importance of the act will be. appreciated when it is known that, tho Dayton Pelee Club is one nf theswellest social organizations in tho I State of Ohio. Its membership includes many of the best known men, socially, politically, and financially in the Buckeye tate, and the chances are that, if the Canadians haven't undisputed law to stand uptin they will hear fro tho capture in a tharp way. Tho parties captured are charged with invading the Canadian Jishing grounds contrary to existing tr. aties.

A wagon was furnished and the family loaded into it. The party was ambushed. After the killing the bodies were buried under a straw strack. The little girl that, survived says that they struck, beat and kicki*! her into insensibility and thought her dead. At this writing the Taylors have not been arrested, but it is not thought possible they can escape. Great excitement prevails, and if the murderers are fully identified the law will haye to bo very strong to prevent summary punishment.

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS.

Senator Hoar addressed tho Senate, Thursday, on the perils of Coseyism. He said that Coxey knew that the law under which he was convicted was on the statute books. He. came here with the deliberate intention of violating it. Ho wanted to test the power of Congress and the court, and when he found both court and jury against him sot up a howl. "There is danger," said Mr. Hoar, "in such assemblages. They afford cover for one or two fanatics. It does not do to scoff. Within ten years an attempt has been made to blow up tho house of Parliament within two years another attempt to blow up the Frcnch Assembiy. Two Presidents of the United States have been murderod one in a crowd at. a depot, the other in a crowd at a theater, by misguided and fanatical persons to v/hom Ih-.i peaceable assemblages afforded an opportunity to escape. This is why, in the provisions of the riot law of every State, when tho magistrate reads tho act, all the people must go borne. A man may be there with peaceable intentions, but if when the riot act is read he refuses to go he is liable to punishment. Those who are peaceable shield those who are not. It is needless for me." said Mr. Hoar, drawing himself up and looking about the chamber, his eyes pausing when they reached Mr. Allen and Mr. Stewart, "to declare that 1 sympathize will ail my fellows in distress. I sympathize with them a great deal more than some of those who always prate of sympathy for the downtrodden in order to advance their disgraceful political ambitions." The tariif debate was then resumed. Senator Chandler spoke sarcastically of Mr. Voorhees and Daniel intimated that the New Hampshire- man was a falsifier. More amendments wor« offered. At 5:15 tho Senate 'adjourned as a mark of respect, to representative Brattan, whose, death was announced.

The somber emblems of mourning covered the desk of Representative Robert E. Brat-tan. of Maryland, on which lay a bunch of roses, when the House met. Thursday. The message of the President transmitting Hawaiian correspondence, received Thursday, was laid before tlu House. Some, routine, business was transacted, and then Mr. Taibott briefly annonnced the death of Mr. Brut-tan and ollered the custom try resolutions. Th resolutions were a lopted and the Speakei appointed a committis to attend 1.he funoral. The House then, at 12:30 p. m., adjourned. I In tho Sennlo. Friday, Mr. Chandler, ir speaking on the pending amendment ti the tariff bill, said it was unwise to ahead with tho consideration of the moasure until the Senate was in formed or what principle the bill was framed. It hac been changed, torn and patched with protective tariff, free t: a !e ami revenue tariri duties until it was neither fish, Ilesh, fow nor good red herring. Jle thought it watime the Democrats of the -Senate shouic go out and gather around a boxax pit ir the Humboldt valley and sing that gooc old hymn: "Are we wretches yet alive,

And dare we yet rebel? 'Tis wondrous, 'tis amazing grace That keeps us out of hell." Mr, Chandler succeeded in irritating th( Democrats, especially Mr. Harris, who, nt the conclusion of the remarks of tho New Hampshire Senator, moved, witl some temper, to lay the pending amend ment (that, of Mr. Perkins, to make tin duty on boraci'e acid 5 cents per pound) or the table. The motion was carried by E strict party vote—31 to t!5. Various amendments wero considered until 5:55 when the Senate went into executive session.

In the House. Friday, tho body went into committee of the whole and thenava' appropriation bill was taken up. Mr. Boutelle advocated liberality toward tin navy to continue a good work commenced under Secretary Chandler. Mr. Baker, who followed Mr. Boutelle, spoke briefly on the bill from the Populist point of view. An altercation between Mr. Cuinmings and Mr. Keod ensued. Mr. R'-ec said he always had the lareest majorities when the navy yards of his district wore in possession of the Democrats. The debate continued some time, taking on a very acrimonious character and charges and counter charges of "colonization" ir the navy yards were freely passed between Mr. Reed, Mr. Boutelle and Mr. Cummings. At 5 o'clock, this being Friday. the House took a recess till 8, the evening session to bo devoted to private biJIs. At. the night session six privatepension bills were favorably acted upon, and at 10:27 the House adjourned. 2 The seventh week of tho tariff debate began in the Senate, Monday. Amendments of varied character were considered. In a discussion of the sugar schedule Mr. Piatt stated that "there is not a speculator, a stock jobber, or a man In the Sugar Trust in New York, or a Senator on this floor who demanded the sugar schedule who does not understand what it means for the trust. The schedule gives the trust, a duty of at least three-eighths of a cent., sometimes fluctuating as high as half a cent." Mr. Allison said that the ad valorem provision in tho bill, in view of the creat difference between the value of raw and refined sugar, certainly would afford a protection of three-eighths of a cent before the differential of one-eighths of a cent was reached. Mr. Vest called attention to the fact that tho McKinley la gave tho raw material free to refiners and then gave the. latter a protective duty of one-half cent per pound. Mr. Allison insisted, however, that the great difference in the price of raw and refined sugar gave the refiner the benefit of at least threetenths of a cent under a 40 per cent, ad valorem duty before tho one-eighth was imposed at all. After an almost Interminable discussion of the rate of duty on various articles lasting until 6 o'clock, Mr. Harris, in charge iof tho tariff bill, arose and said sarcastically. "In view of the fact that the Senate has only consumed one hour in the discussion of this article upon which the eyes of the Republic aro fixed with auch Intense interest—the article of chaik—I think the Unl.ted States Senate should take a rest, and niovo tho Senate adjourn," Acor in S at ad

The robbers were about ten minutes ic going through the bank. Afterward they mounted their horses and started for the nation at a full gallop. As they were leaving the outskirts some one fired several shots at them, killing a horse and wounding a robber. He immediately secured another horse from a farmer who was passing and followed his pals. Nc resistance was offered by the citizens. The wounded men were shot while standin.r on the sidewalk. A jwsse was made up and started in pursuit, but the robbers have a good lead and will probably get away.

TALMAGEJN TEARS-

Brooklyn Tabernacle Again Dostroyed by Fire.

Sad Sunday Scenes—Great Property Low— -id Klrctrlo Wires the Cause.

Just after service at noon, Sunday, and while Dr. Talmage wa3 shaking hands with the members of his congregation, fire burst out between the pipes of the organ, and within ten minutes the big tabernacle was doomed to total destruction. Adjoining t'.ie church was the hotel liegent, eight stories in height, with a frontage of ninety feet on Clinton avenue, and extending back 200 feet to Waverly avenue. Thi fire spread from the. Tabernacle to this hotel and then to the dwellinghouses on Green avenue and Waverly avenue, opposite the church. The wind carried the blazing cinders in such quantities in a southeasterly direction that the, dwelling-houses on Washington avenue. two squares away, and also the Sum meriield Methodist Church, wero set on A fire by them: but the greatest loss on any one of ihe.-"t structures did not exceedr ?15,0:X). The total loss, however, rea dies nearly ?:J,0..0.«.00. The insurance is large but dues not cover the loss.

Dr. Talmage was interviewed at, his home and made a graphic statement ol the incidents connected with the fire. He said: "At tho close of tkeehureh service I was standing at the foot of the puipic shaking/hav.iis with hundreds of pi oplo from all lands. I was about through and walked toward the center of the church where rny wife stood when she callml my attention to lire springing out from the top of the organ. I saw at once that it was nilder full headway and my first impulse was to look around and see how many people were then in the house, and, to my great joy, then were only about twenty people, am! with twenty-five Ki to get our, through 1 felt that they would all cscape. "I then went into my study, back of the platform, passing under the blazing piping. to get my hat and coat, and then I said to myself. 'Is It manly to run? No.' While in this sort of brown study a NewYork friend rushed into the room and, taking my arm, said: "Get out. of this room immediately or you'ii not get out at ail.' One half of the organ as already down and the fire had leaped to the roof.

1 saw that nothing could save the building and I came out." The tears were coursing down the Doctor's cheelcs and his voice broke as he told the story, but in an instant, he spoke with his old vigor. "There is mercy on tp of the disaster. If it had occurred one-hall hour before it would have noon the calam ity of the century. The church and all the rooms adjoining were packed with .people and the panic would have, ieft the wiioie scene one of indescribable horror." '•Personally I feci not t'ne le ist item ol is a if in less of hope for the future. This long proce.-sion of disasters is inexplic -.!de like what occurs sometime.! in a family, four or five dying from scarlet fever. "Our church has been hurtled three times ami it lias always occurred on a Sunday. It is a mystery that adjourn till the next world shall us know. It is the Lord. Let him do what scemetb good in His sight." "When asked for his opinion as to the cause of the lire he said emphatically "L'.ectric lights, electricity caused this lire, as it did that of the last tabernacle on Scheinerheni-st.''

Continuing. Dr. Talinage said: "The fire may change my entire program and ldonot think I will start on my trip }iround the world as I intended to-morrow night. I. however, do not know what I shall do."
