THE RACE IS NOW ON.
Between Ordinances Introduced by
Messrs. Roche and Morris.
The race between tho two rival or
dinances introduced by Select Coun
cilman Hoche and Common Council
man M. V, Morris Is now on In earn
est, Mr. Mouls' ordinance provides
for the appointment of two permanent
men for the Niagara and Liberty Hose
companies, and takes the money for
the payment of the same out of tho
appropriation of $1,500 for cleik hire
In the controller's department which
was recently etoed by tho mayor.
Mr. Koche'a ordinance re-appioprl-ates
the Item of $1,500 for clerk hire
Mi. Morris ordinance was icported
favorably upon by the fire committee
last Thursday night and passed two
leadings. He will call it up for third
leading nt next Thursday night's
meeting and If It passes will wend It
oer to select. The select 'ordinance
is now In the hands of the esttmatet
committee of that branch, who will
loport favorably upon it next Thurs
day night. Mr. Roche will then call
It up for first and second readings
The Idea sooms to prevail that both
measures w.111 pass the branch In
which they were introduced, and thnt
the select measutc will bo killed In
tomnion and tho common measuie
killed. In oeleet. In the meantime 'the
controllers department Is getting along
without any clerk hire, but Controller
Howell Isn't worrying and says he will
get It In some manner yet.

LARGE TENEMENT
DAMAGED BY FIRE
IT IS THE PROPERTY OF D. K.
OAKLEY.
Located at Franklin Avenue and Lin
den Street nnd Occupied by n Num
ber of. Families Various Reasons
Aro Given for tho Origin of the
Fire, but Is Supposed to Have
Started in an Unused Dumb Walter.
Losses Thnt Were Sustained by the
Owner and Tenants.
Tho three-story tenement houie ut
the coiner of Linden street nnd Frank
lin avenue, owned by D. K. Oakley,
of West Scranton, nnd occupied by a
number of famlllis, was badly dam
aged ly flro yesteiday moinlng, the
third floor being entirely destroyed by
the llames, while tho first and second
floors wore badly damaged by water.
Mr. Oakley carried $3,000 Insurance
and suffers a loss of about $2,000,
while the totul loss of tho tenants Is
ory large, as baldly any insurance
was carried. Tho following nro the
parties who occupied tho building.
On tho first floor Barnot Flnkel
steln. grocery nnd residence; Joseph
McMullon and Isndore Muscat, resi
dences. Second floor Joseph Flnkelsteln,
tailor; Abraham Itobenblume, Jennie
Bos3 and Mrs. I'earlman. Mr. and Mrs.
Grant Boss, dwelling apartments.
Third floor Mrs. Kttto Johnson, a
widow, lived In the fiont of tho build
ing; Frank 11. Young, in the ctntial
patt, and Philip Zang In the rear, and
Miss Mary Brown.
Various reasons are given for the
cause of the fire. Some think It due
to an overheated chimney, the heat
from which set on fire some papers
stoied lp a cornet nearby, while oth
ers suppose it started In a dumb
waiter shaft, which was constructed
at tho time of the building's erection,
but was never used It is believed to
have originated there and to have
worked its way up to the cupola of
tho building.
LOST THEIK ALL
Several families occupied tho third
floor and lost all their propeity, as a
tesult of tho fire, no-.o of v.hleh was
Insured. Mrs. Johnson, a widow, who
occupied four looms, lout all her fur
niture, clothing, etc., nnd only saved
her jewelry and a sniall amount of
money.
Mr. and Mrs-. Frank Young, who oc
cupied four rooms on this tloor, suf
fered looses, estimated at $300. Miss
Maty Brown, who also hod rooms on
the third floor, hid all her household
goods nadly damaged.
The fire was dhcovtrol ahout ISO
o'clock Iv Mrs. Young, who found her
room filled with smoke and saw tho
ilamct breaking through the old dumb
waitei. OIrs James T.vlss, a neighbor, who
was watering some plants on the op
of her house, saw the names at tha
same time and the Nay Aug Hose
company, whose quarters are near by,
was immediately notlflrd.
There was considerable delay In find
ing a key for the alarm box and as a
.csult the fire had gained good head
way before the other companies could
lespond. The alarm was at last given
from Box 23, and when the Crystals,
Neptune Engine company, Hook and
Ladder. No. 1, and the Phoenix com
pany nTlved the thltd floor of the
building was a crackling, swirling
mass of flame.
FLAMES UNDBIt CONTROL. .
The chemical engines of the beveral
companies were brought into service
and extra efforts made to prevent the
llames from spreading and a general
cont'agntlon taking place. When the
llames were .it last under control It
was saen that the parties on th first
and s'-ennd floors hud suffered only
from the water, tho Are not having
touched thorn.
On tne second floor, Abraham Rosen
bauni, pioprletor of tho Nc w York Suit
and Cloak house, resided, and had a
largo portion of his effects destroyed.

TAX EXONERATIONS.
City Solicitor Has Prepared an Opin
ion on tha Question.
In putsuance with the request of
select council City Solicitor Vosburg
hat, prepared an exhaustive opinion
on tho question as to whether or not
councils have a right to exonerate
personal, real estate or other city
taxes and will present It at next
Thutsday evening's meeting. It Is un
derstood that he will decide that they
have no such right, as several other
city sollcltots before him have decided
It has been the habit in the past
for councils to ask for a written opln
Ion on this question every few years
and when this opinion was received,

These prices are but a trifle above

ADDRESS OF REV. ATW00D
Is the Oeneral Superintendent of the
TJnlversalist Church in This
Country Theme of His Talk.
Rev. I. M. Atwood, of New York city,
general superintendent of tho Unlver
sallst church In this country, preached
a most excellent sermon before a largo
congregation lost night In tho All
Souls' Unlversallst church. He spoko
upon the fundamental doctrine of the
Unlversallst denomination, which Is
universal love. Among other things
ho said:
"The law of Christ Is lote, but there
aro various expressions of love. There
Is the expression of friendship, for In
stance, that affinity between two pei
sons having a uniformity of desiio and
a unity of aim, and which softens tho
ludeness and roughness of life Then
there Is the friendship of the sexes,
which Is an oultnance of God. The
love of Christ, however, Is that ex
pression of love that makes us choose
the good In our neighbor and that
makes us follow that choice with a
course of conduct on our own part
calculated to bring out the good we
have chosen for our neighbor.
"In this connection we must under
stand that our neighbor means every
human being in the world and that
theto must be no dt awing of lines.
Attemu3 Ward once said, when told
that this principle was the basic prin
ciple of Unlversallsm, 'That's all right,
but I'd like to pick my man.' There
is too much of a similar sentiment
pievalent today. We may find it hard
to choose the best good for some peo
ple, but we must without respect to
their previous merits or demerits.
"Some few weeks ago I heard Bev.
Dr. Lyman Abbot take three-quarters
of an hour to tell why he was not a
Unlversallst, and as I sat and listened
to him I thought In how much shorter
time I could toll why I am a Unlver
sallst. Thf reason I am a Unlversal
lst is simply because I believe that
God Is a Unlversallst and if He were
not I would not dare to be. How do I
know that God Is a Unlversallst? It
Is just as demonstrable ns any prob
lem in mathematics.
"God Is a UnL'ersallst because Ho
chooses tho highest good for every hu
man soul. He doesn't choose evil for
any soul, but good for all. There
comes a time In tho life of every hu
man being who, when all the evil
pleasures of life have been tasted nnd
experienced, finds that tho path ends
and that further passage Is Impossi
ble. As he cannot go fuither there Is
nothing for him to do but to tum and
enter h's Father's house, as did the
prodigal son. I am a Unlversallst be
cause Unlversallm teaches me to
choose what Is the highest and real
good of every human soul."

AN AMERICAN SULTAN.
How Uncle Sam Took a Sultan Un
der the Flog.
Oscar KIhk Pans in Ainslce's
"The sultan of Sulu Is a young man,
but he gives the Impression of knowing
what ho Is about and Just what he
wants. His head Is rather large and
well shaped. His skin Is the color of
old copper that has been polished.
Ills eyes aro well apart, but ho has a
trick of drooping the lids that makes
him look sleepy and Indifferent. He
has a good firm jaw and chin, with u
medium-sized straight nose. He wore
on his head a fez which started red,
but after a while he took off an outer
covering and It was white. As far as
waistcoat and ttousers wero concerned,
he was In correct evening dress. His
coat was a gorgeous creation In corn
yellow silk that came clear to his heels
and had long flowing sleeves. His feet
were shod with patent leathers. Two
of the three Datos were In regulation
Moro diess, the other wore trousers
as bltr as a woman's, and a blue and
white checked flannel blazer. All thel
Datos carried large knives and chewed
betel nut.
"Business began Immediately with
the reading of the druft of the agree
ment proposed by the Americans. It
was modPled on the old Spanish ttoaty
an It was called and guaranteed the
Moios all the usual rights and religious
freedom, except that General Bates
made It very distinct that Juramenta
dolsm would not be tolerated. It pro
vided also that our flag must be flown,
that we should occupy such places as
we saw fit for military purposes, that
we would continue the sultan's pay for
ruling his people, and that we would
not 6ell or dispose of the Islands with
out knowledge and consent of the sul
tan. The asrrement had been done In
their language by Mr. Schuck, the in
terpreter, and the secretary read It.
while the sultan turned his back on
IiIb followers and looked bored to death.
"Objection arose at once, when dis
cussion began, to the provision that ou,
flag should bo flown. In 1898, when the
Spanish were too busy with us to pay
nttentlon to the sultan, he went to
Mecca flying his own flag, contrary to
his agreement with the Spanish, and
nothing derogatory happened to him.
Therefore, he could not see why ho
ehould not fly his own flog whenever
he went abroad. The fact that that
was a practical denial of our sovereign
ty nnd forfeited our protection did not
appeal to him. In view of his experi
ence. The argument went around In a

ring for a few minutes, nnd then tho
Kyiernl sugestcd that as they wer.
not reaching n conclusion they should
go on to something else. Tho Moros
objected to the occupation for mllltaty
purposes without specific permission
of the sultan. It developed that that
wasbecnuso they thought the land .vas
to be taken without pa merit. When
ho found out tha,t ho would get money
for It ho yielded so readily ns to create
tho Impression that he wished we
would ocupy his whole dominion ut
once.
"There was a provision about Blavcry
which had given the general some anx
iety. Ho was afraid that tho Moros
would object to his plan for the pur
chase of freedom on the ground that It
would terminate slavety, which was
exactly what ho was aiming to do
They did object to tho clause, but not
on that ground, lie bad fixed nn up
set ptlco which they thought was too
high. Wtth great show of deliberation,
the general consented that It should bo
reduced. It was a great victory for
Moro diplomacy.
Tim CANNY SULTAN
"Tho tecrctaiy did most of the talk
ing for the Moros, but the sleepy and
bored sultan knew very well what be
was saying Two or three times when
the sultan looked as If he were about
to sing, 'There Is a Oroen Hill I'ar
Away,' he cut Into the discussion with
a sudden directness thnt showed how
closely he followed everything that
was said. The three Datos made a few
speeches, which all thoso who under
stood them received with absolute Im
passivity. Twice they asked Kalvl for
his opinion. He volunteered nothing,
but when asked he mndo n talk which
evidently did not suit Nono of I' e
discussion among themselves was In
terpreted, so that the Americans could
tell only by appearances what was go
ing on.
"The followers of the Datos got tired
of all the talk after awhlle.and sti oiled
out Into the yard to look at the guatds
and talk It all over. Kalvl's men went
too, and Anally Kalvl went Soon after
ward there was u commotion In the
yard. The Instant thought of ever
American there was ho same tho bad
blo&d between Kalvl nnd tho sultan
had found expression In a fight of thPlt
men. The three Datos with the sultan
Jumped out of their chalts and lushed
out of the room, "clutching at their big
knives as they went. It was a noivous
minute, and we wished that we had
not given such a temaikable evidence
of our confidence In the Moros as to
bring the four ladles wtth us. But
whatever ho thought, no American
gave any sign that he was In the least
disturbed. General Bates gave one
shaip look down the line ot his little
party, and saw evetybody at least out
wardly calm. Tho ladles were as tool
as tho men. Thegeneral's eves snapped,
and that was all In another minute
word came from below that the gunid
had arrested a man. That was the euu
of it. Kalvl came back and 'sat down
His men trooped in again Sweet peace
brooded over us once more. '
