The
exhibition of fire escape ladders along
the face of six or eight .sterie3 of hotel
fronts is net likely te de much toward
reconciling people te mounting te
their aerial heights ; it is net an in
viting contemplation, and it is
net easy te understand why the
proprietors of hotels thus ornamented
are se anxious te have the public know knew
that they are provided with the horrid
tilings. Of course, they would be useful
te agile and courageous guests in the
top stories in case of fire ; but then theii
presence is a constant reminder te the
traveler of the dangers of his exalted
dormitory, and one would think that
most people would decidedly object te
sleeping where they are advised of the i
possibility of their needing such a mode
of exit. The delaters inside, which
take them away up te the reef in ease
and comfort, aie .ery seductive ; but
certainly the ugiy iron ladders outside
provided for their possible descent
should suffice te lake away from .m
reasDiiable being the desire te enjoy lh-
delights of the elegant elevator within.
The lessen te sensible people is te
never permit themehes te be ledged
higher than the thiid fleer. If traveler.-,
generally would make- this denurid tall
hotels would net be built. The tendency
of the elevator lias b en te increase the
height of lodging houses ; the tendency
of lire escapes, the le.s-.en of their neces
sity being new taujiht. will be te lewei
them.

Sweet, indeel, are the chastening uses
of adveiaity, when se obdurate a sin

such critical examination el the nudiUu
general's ropeit as the Ixi'i:i.i.k.i:m i:k,
almost alone among the new.spapeisef

document for j ear?. The JIcjAiblkuaiz
surprised t find the legis'at".' e expenses
running right en during the car of a

attending te ihcir business at home.'"
In explanation et pait of this it is te be

Iluhn, of the Heuse, draw considerable
sums for "contingencies" and hand
some allowances for salaries during the
recess, is ci editable te the innocence ei
the JfyHW(n,liutif it will examine the
appropriation bill of 1SSl.it will find
piovisiens for these unconstitutional
payments sandwiched in that bill
placed there in diiect vielatim of the
constitutional dire-lien that ' n bill

ployee, agent or contractor, uflir mtV'

claim against the commonwealth with
out previous authority el la. v.1' And
" no law shall extend the Urmef any
public officer or inciciw or diminish his
salary or emoluments after his electi-m
or appointment.'" The Cochrans, J)e-

cover their tracks and te threw upon the
Legislature the responsibility of passing
unconstitutional measures for lhirhcn

of the office of secretary of the common
wealth. The Kcueimcr having stated
that besides the salary of this cilice, ag
gregating $5,100, there were $7,000 of
fees drawn annually by the secretary,
and the l.vri:i,MGi:xci:u having said
that, if this be true, reform is necessary,
the Vullrij Hjiirit corrects us both with
the explanation that the fees which an
nually pass into the secretary's office
amount te $23,000, " but every cent of
these, under the Wallace corporation act
of 1874, are turned into the state treas
ury except (as provided in that act) five
dollars which the secretary shall 'receive
en every paper relating te a corporation
filed or recorded in the secretary's office.'
Xe part of the $25,000 therefore is a per
sonal perquisite of the seci clary save the
recording fee we have just named,
and this is Hie sole perquisite
of the office." The point is
what de these fees amount te. The
J5xu?rtur says $7,000, and as its friend
Quay has shown a disposition te hang
en te them, they will likely amount te
that limine. If .se the emoluments of
this office, exceeding that of the gover

The Planters' hotel, one of the lasgest
in St. Leuis, took lire cail Sunday morn
ing, and the servants' quaiteis burned se
rapidly that thiee persons let their lives.
The gteatest confusion prevailed when the
alarm was given, and neaily all the guests
escaped iu their night clothes. The
weather was iutensely cold, and the
firemen were thereby greatly hiudercd'in
their work. The tiie ut 10:23 o'clock was
under control.
Tiie fire broke out shortly after 4 a. m.
in the kitchen of the hotel, and extended
te the pantry, stoiereoni and servants'
quai ters. These were iu a building in the
tear and detached from the building,
which was net injured. Oae servant was
bulfoeited, one burned aud two etheis
bave broken limbs. Great excitement
prevailed ameug the occupants cf the
hotel, me-it of whom left the hotel, but
letmned during the day.
The hotel, which is si's stories high,
fronts en tlie west side of Fourth sticet,
from Chestnut te Pine, while a w.ug I uiu
back en both Chestnut and Pine streets te
a .le,ith of half a block. Thus the main
building feims tlnce sides of a rectangle.
The feiuth side is feuced by a four-steiy
budding forty ;,tars old, midway el which
ou the ground fleer is the boiler room, and
the kitchen is en the lloer above it. The
two upper floors aie occupied by the help
of the house, about r.oveuty-hve in num
ber. The fire staitcd ery clese te the
natiew stairway and was caiiied up te
the l oef by the draught, cutting oil" es
cape by the stairs, and feiming a bairi
cade, picventiug tho'.e sleeping iu the
..euth half of the building fiem leaching
another stairway at the neith end.
One peer fellow started down the staiis
befoie the fue icached the third fleer. An
hour later his ciisped coipse was found in
the kitchen uear the feet of the stairs.
Anether employee answered the call at his
deer, but seems te have been stupefied by
smoke, aud two hears aterwaid his dead
body was found ou the smoking mattiess
of his bed.

auction rooms about $20,000 ali,ctvcred ey

The chaiied beJy of llenyBlaney, who
ha 1 been employed at the hotel since he
was a boy, was found at the feet of the

Incidents ut the Fire.
When the iiic breke out the night cleik,
Mr. Salter, was fcittmj' in the ellice talk
ing te a bell boy, when he noticed a dense
smoke coming through the wash room.
He iv.n out and turned en an ahum. Re
turning, he and the, hell boy ran up te the
top stciy and nipped ou the deer of every
room ; they then went te the next fleer
and awoke all the guests. After they had
knecktd en eveiy bedroom deer in the
house, they returned te the top lloer te see
that tveibedy was awake. Several
ladies, upon hearing the cry of tire, fainted
and had te be e.nricd te a place of safety.
The clerk then letmned te the eflice aud
placed the legistei and K.eks iuthesife
of the ellice. In lets than thiee minutes
the hotel eonider ".as eiewded with ladies
and gentlemen with their baggage in
hand.
15 tlrs time people had begun te inn

then hi their night clothes aud all cijing

The scene iiipidly be came one of indis

Governer Phelps occupied a reurn ou the
liist fleer. He was one of the fust
awakened, and quickly dicssul and ap
peaied in the hallway outside his room as
cool and calm as if nothing had happened.
He endeaveicd te pacily the ladies, who
wcie le.sliiiijj fiiuitii.illy up and down the
hall, and luenght them into his room,

and the confusion will be all ever iu a few
moments," the governor said, after he
had get thim out or the hallwav. He
