The reporter from whose account of n lire the following Is quoted must himself, says the representative of a rival journal, have been in great dan ger of being consumed by the fire of his own eloquence: "The water seemed to spur the lire to wilder deeds. The flames and the Binoke rolled higher and higher, and the scene became luridly, awfully mng nlflcent, beyond tottering words' power to paint. It was a canto of Dante's •Inferno' acted In all Its fiery pomp and splendor. Banners of flame would now be waved out by dark smoke bands, then ten million curling little pennons of the fire would hiss and flutter, then vanish, and a great reeling tower of. smoke, whose darkness was Stabbed and spangled with flames and sparks, would fill the buildings, grimly shoot back from reflected surfaces a crimson greeting, and up in the far off sky the outglistened stars turned pale for shame and the moon through the drifted smoke glowed like a bowl of blood." A Mlnnoiirl Miliiclin iinrn. There are some pretty fair Nimrods In Missouri now, but a story which is printed in an old history of Callaway county shows that some of those of former days could make contemporary sportsmen look like IJO cents either as shots or as raconteurs. "Mr. Cal vin Tate," according to this history, "says that the wild pigeons were so plentiful one summer that frequently when they would alight on a tree it would bend down to the ground with their welgfit. He went hunting one day, and seeing a fine lot of pigeons In a tree he hitched his horse to one of the limbs and fired and killed 300 nt one shot. The rest flew away, and as soon as the tree was relieved of their weight it straightened up, carrying his horse with it, and the poor brute had to hang there until Tate could go home and get an ax and cut the tree down." —Kansas City Journal. India Rubber. Few articles seem more strangely nnmed than India rubber. It gets the "rubber" from the first use to which It was put—that of erasing pencil marks by rubbing. Nor should It be associated with India. The tree was first mentioned by an explorer among the Mexican Indians three centuries ago, and the first account of the sub stance occurs in connection with Co lumbus' visit to Haiti on Ills second voyage. Most of our present Importa tion comes from Brazil. But Colum bus and those explorers who followed him were searching for a short passage to India, and they supposed that the land they discovered was India. The name India rubber is therefore a per manent sign of their mistake. The Indian mid 11 C.HN Furnace.

Washington, March 2(», 1904. Editor Press:— Congress, as well as the Execu tive, has had many difficult and perplexing questions to contend with, and it has required much tact, wisdom and patience to meet them. Many of the problems have been solved; others have been post poned to a more convenient season; while a few remain to vex political parties. On the whole legislation has proceeded with commendable rapidity, and with caution. It is extremely difficult to introduce new measures and transform them iuto laws, or indulge in any ex perimental legislation, in the face of a presidential campaign. If many good measures fail the public will understand that it is not that they are of themselves bad, but because Congress hesitates to expend large sums when it is neces sary to practice economy to retain the confidence of the people. The Post Office bill made slow progress through the House, and was close ly scrutinized, a result to be ex pected since so many Congressmen still feel sore over the Bristow re port. Publishers of papers are anxious that rural delivery carriers may be allowed to distribute the fruit of the press. By the close vote of 8K ts 80, out of a total membership of 480, the House agreed to give the Southern Rail road a subsidy of $142,728.75 to carry fast mails from Washington to New Orleans via Atlanta. Chi cago is to be allowed SIOO,OOO for mail service in its underground tunnel system. A general investi gation of the Post Office has again been voted down in the House, but in the Senate the Democrats have given notice that they propose to assume an aggresive attitude in favor of an investigation. The proposition to give a steamship company $45,000 a year to carry the mails to the island of Tahiti, "a pin head in the Pacific," has been rejected. At the close of yesterday's debate, the Post Office appropriation bill passed the House to the great relief of Republicans. The great Chinese question will soon occupy public attention. The Exclusion Treaty with China expires by limitation 011 the 27th of December. As China has form ally denounced the treaty a new one will have to be formulated which will be acceptable to both countries. It is claimed that many great employers of labor are in favor of admitting the Chinese, and that a new exclusion treaty has no chance of again being rati fied. It is already proposed to import some 40,000 Chinese iuto the canal zone of Panama to dig the big ditch, which can hardly be constructed without their aid. AVe spend millions in missions for the conversion of the Chinese. What stultifications to say th ey may be good enough for heaven but not good enough for the United States. There is still much controversy and indecision in the House over the proposed impeachment and trial of Judge Swayne of Florida. It is feared that if a trial is begun it may continue for a long while and postpone the adjournment of Congress. And there is doubt about the verdict. Since the charges against the Judge have been given to the House by the com ui ittee he should either be vindicated, or found guilty. It would be ungracious and inequit able to legislate him out of office without an investigation. The Judge has filed a brief in which he denies the charges. WANTED: 50 MEN AND WOMEN L.
