Many poor people wero tnatle homeless and even had narrow eionpes for their lives. The fire ooourred In different parts of the city, and one of them, ntletist, is boUeved to have been of lncendlnry origin. The first lire started in the three story frauio building at No. 410 Newark street There a raothor and five ohlldron lost their Uvea.

The Sohoedersllved on the top floor. Charles Schoeder, who Is n barkeeper out of work, was not nt home whon tho flro started. His wlfo and children were asleep In their rooms. It took but a moment for the flames to get complete control ot the building. All but tho Sehoedor family, however, among tho tenants managed to make their esoapo, a number of them dropping to the ground from the windows- After the firemen had got tc work it was discovered that tho Schoeder family was missing, and every effort was made to reach tho top ot tho blazing struoture. Flames and smoko drove. tho men baok, nndHt was not until the building was al most completely guttod that tho firemen wero able to get to tho Schoeder apart ments. This was about an hour after the blaze begnil Mrs. Sehoedor was found lying on the bed, which was partly burned, with her infant on her breast Two of the othor children lay on tho bod and ono on the floor. Thoro was a flloker of life in tho woman and she was quickly borno down the stairway and through tho still burning hall. She died a few min utes later. Four ohlldren, all dead, wero brought down also. But the body ot tho fifth could not be found until an hour Intjr. Hardly had this flro boon put out than the men were compelled to hasten to Fourteenth street, where fire had got con trol of the building at No. 157. Within rt fow minutes after tho outbreak tho entlro houso was a mass of flames, and men, women and ohlldron appeared at tho win dows In their night clothes and called frantically for help. A numbor of thrilling resouos woro raado, and all tho tenants except tho family ot Honry Q. Mangles, on tho top floor were' got out In safety. They were mot by a wave ot fiamo and driven back into their rooms. Eventually and by the mo of ladders from an adjoining house all were taken out except tho the child Mabel. Sho had been lifted to tho roof, but on taking hold of tho edge ot the souttlo hole, found It was hot and let go her grasp. Sho fell to the narrow landing at tho head of the stairs and rolled down into the furnaop benoath. llold Robbery In Kansas City. Kansas City, Mo., Fob. 1.

Wonderfully Artistic MfTucta Wrnnghk From the Pliable Fabric. , Very few peoplo, I fanoy, writes Km ma II.

First to be considered Is tho room, nnd perhaps a description of ono whloh I holped decorate not long ago will suggest more ideas than I could glvo otherwise. It was n large room In n clubhouse, somo 80 by 40 feet, with oelllng 10 feet high, orossed nnd onclroled by big oak beams. On one side were three window seats, and opposltt n big fireplace, with window seats or cither side. Something entirely different from anything that had ever been seen wa wanted, and this was how It was done: Morning glories in pink, purple and crim son niado in vines, with largo leaves of tissue paper, wero ovorywhere. Beforo oaoh of tho window seats wero hung our tains of morning glory vines, mmlo br hanging lengths of the vines close together aaross tho opening from the top of the archway, and then draped back eaoh way and let to fall gmoef ully on either side. Tho' booms were all hung with garlands of Vines aoross and all around the room. Tho doorways at cither end of the room wero hung with curtains, and long vines trailed down oareleatly over the: ploturet, Tho Gothic arches over tho flreplaoo were outlined with tho vines. The room was illuminated by n big clrolo ot oleotrlo lights, and from this to each corner hung a long vino of lights. These were wound nud hung witli vines, and each light wus Bhaded with a big morning glory, ns wero also tho lights on the side chandeliers about tho room. The flreplaoo wns filled with palms nnd ferns, and tho wholo of fset, when lighted, was" a big bowor of morning glories. Of ooureo it took quan tities of vinos, but many hands mada light work.

Tlllottsou, FREE CDRE FOR 'MEN. AHlchlgan Man Offers to Send Bls:Dls covery Pres. Claims to Be a Benefactor to Weakened Mankind. Tliero is always more or lees suspicion attached to anything that is offered free but sometimes a man so overflows with generosity that ho cannot rest until his discuvory is known to tho world, in order that his fellow men may profit by what ho has discovered. It is upon this principal that a resident of Kalamazoo. Hick., desires to send free to mankind a proscription which will cure thorn or any lorm ot norvous debility j relieves them of all tho doubt and uncertainty which such utcp are peculiarly liable to and restores tho organs to natural sfro and vigor. As It costs nothing to try the experiment It would seem that any man, suU'ering with the nervous troubles that usually attack men who neyor Stopped to real izo what might be the final result, ought to he deeply interested in a remedy which will restore tliem to health, strength and vigor, without which thoy continue to Uvo an oxisteuco of untold misery. As tho remedy In question wos the result of many years research as to what combination would bo peculiarly ofl'ectivo in restoring to men tho strength thoy need, it would seem that all men sulferlng with any form of norvous weakness ought to write for snch a remedy at once. A request to H. C. Olds, Box 1718, Kalamazoo, Mich., stating that you nro not sending for tbp proscription out of idle curiosity, but that you wish to mako use of the medicine by giving it a trial, will be answered promptly and without evidence ai to where information came from. 1 h proscription is scut froo and although seme may wonder how Mr. Olds can afford to cive iivay his discovery, tliero is no doubt about the oiler being genuine Cut this out and send to Mr. Ultls so that uo may know how you came to write hint. 12-28-78t 4 gpumnp weleoaie. wait you at JOE WYATT'S SALOON, Cor.

A telegram from Egooin, in the middle Niger region, dated Jan. SB, says that the column of the Hoyal Niger company's expedition against Jtmtr nnd Nupe arrived in good order, after a seventeen days' march of 800 miles. Tha men were at times compelled to march single file through the bush. The power of the Fnlahs In the regions ot the south Niger river has been utterly destroyed. The flotilla and a detachment acoom pnnlng the expedition surprised and de stroyed the southern Fulah, capital of Ladl. This town was a depot for stores and the Fulahs were retreating in that direction when it was captured. Twelve hundred slaves Were rescued. Most of these slaves were eldorly men, all the women and children of both sexes having been sent to tho oapltal at lllda. A reoent telogram from Lagos gives an Aooount of the expedition sent out by the Itoyal Niger company. This expedition consisted of 600 hausa troops, six Maxims, twenty-six mounted European officers and 900 carriers. Sir George Goldle, the gov ernor, aooampanledthecoluran. The Itoyal Niger oompany's flotilla of armed stern wheeled steamers was ordered to patrol the Niger for the purpose of cutting off the retroat of the Fulah forces to Bida. The London Times gives an account of this expedition and of the strange people against which It was directed.. The Times says: "The Fulah army has assembled ot Kabba. The Fulahs in the vlolnlty of ICabba are said to number nearly 90,noo foot nnd 8,000 eaualry, and the troops of the company have an arduous and ft peril pus task before them. The enemy are subjeots of the Mahommodan Emir ot Nupo, tho most powerful of the vassal states dependent on the great Mahomme dan empire of Sokoto. "The quarrel between the Emir Nupe nnd tho company Is of long standing. It has been his practlco to execute whole sale raids on the slaves to the south of the Niger and tho Blnuo amongst the tribes under tho protootlon of tho company. He was warned In SP3, when Sir Qeorge Goldle and Lord Scarborough visited Blda, his oapltal, that It this praotloe were per severed In ha would have to fight the com pany, and for some years the raids were discontinued. "Last May ho sent tha Prince Markum Into the district southwest of the Niger with the object of resuming the raids or of attaoklng Lokoja, the military capital of the oompany, as soon as the land was dry enough to admit of operations, and tho Markum had established himself at Kabba. It was at this point apparently that the troops of the company planned to attack him whllo their fleet ot armed stornwheelers and launches cut off his re treat from Blda by patrollng tho Nlgor." This plan The Tlmos pronounces at daring and subject to many chances, but It added, If It succeoded it would offeot ually break tho most dangorous nnd the most dangerous and the most treacher ous dependent Mahommedan powor with in the sphere of the Itoyal Niger oompany.

L Adlspatoh from Brass, West Afrloa, says It has been learned thoro that the origin of the reoent mnssnore by the king of llonln of the British ex pedition under General J. Ii.

The following is his own account of his illiicsa and convalescence, which will be found interesting: Edmbstom, N. Y., Ang. 81, 1866. "On the fifth day of December, 1898, I was taken with a paralytic shock, which af fi eted the whole of the left side, and I could not speak fur three weeks. I was confined to my bed for a long time and constantly at tended by a physiaian, though little relief was experienced. My stomach and the tniiwles of my throat were much affected. I was wounded in June, 1864, at Petersburg, Va., having then lest three fingers of my left hand, and that always affected me in a marked degree, my arm often becoming numb. I should state that on the day I re ceived tho stroke, I had two distinct shocks, the first in the morning, which was so light that the doctor was not at all alarmed, hut the second nearly finished me up.
