Two of hi fellow firemen attempted to follow him but be fore they were halt way down the hoar gave way and they dropped Into the seething mas of Are and were lost. Another man started down a portion of rope hanging from the tower but It gave way and he fell, striking on his head and being Instantly killed. There now remained, according to the count of various spectators, twenty-five to thirty men on the tower. They were hopelessly beyond human help. the longest ladder falling short by fully thirty feet.

It was the uetomary day for making the propor tional purchase of silver on the July icoount and 488,000 ouncea offered. The prices asked averaged from 71 to it cents. This was regarded aa too high by Acting Director Preston, who made a counter proposition, offering 11 centa per ounce. That ia half a oent less than the department paid last week. Apparently the allver men were reluctant to come to thoae terms, for. ur to the close ot office hours, no ac ceptances had been received. The pension bureau haa notified a great many pensioners throughout the entire country, who are drawing pen sions under the act of June 87, ISM, known aa tha dependent pension act, that the payment of their pensions will be suspended for sixty ttaya during which time they will be required to show cause why they ahould continue to draw pensions. This action is pur st ant to a recent ruling of Secretary Smith to the effect that a pensioner un der the act of June 27, 1890, drawing a pension for total disability must be shown to be physically incapable of manual labor, It Is estimated at the pension office that, although the work was but recently begun, something ever 1,000 suspension have already been made. The' total number of fourth ' class postmaster appointed today la 126, of hleh forty are to fill vacancies caused by resignations and deatha.

Each moment baa beeu oue of pleasure since we left home. But you want Ut bear of our Jouruey ami th great World's Fair, We came by the way of Hacrameuto uver tbt Denver A Rio Grande R, R. There ia scenery that la more woudei ful, but none the more beautiful than that of tbt Cascades. That of Mt tthasta standing 11,000 feel above the track almost covered with suow, with Its surrouudlug mountains clothed with vegetation, cannot be aurpsseed Id beauty by anything we aaw. The grades, where oue travel seveuteen miles to galu oue half a mile, area great as any ou the route, v We stopped iu Sacramento and were showu through the capitol building. It la said to be the huest elate bulldiug Iu the United tttub. Underneath the dome there I a very flue piece of elutu ary representing Isabella Iu her chair of slate, while Columbus stands by showing her an 'oraugu. Her page stands ou the other side slightly back of her. Un the iHalralal these words are Inscribed, "I pledge my Jewels," etc. This waa all carved from one solid blcs'k of Marble. The next thing of Interest Was the crossing of tin- hierra Nevada. There we t.tw Cape Horn which it 2500 feet below the track. It waa there that Uie uieu who were building tbe road were uspended by mnm from the cliff above while they blasted sufficient to gaiu a foothold. A little farther ou is liiue canon, which appears U he almost as deep as Cape Horn. It extends so far Into the mountains that the trees seem to be blue. - Alt thl time we were winding around those huge mountain ascending higher aud, higher. We passed through snowshed after suow. shed and just la-fore we left California we entered one which ia forty-three mile loug. We entered, but were we ever to get out. It seemed as though the answer waa "no uover " Iu one plsee we got off the train and snow balled. This waa on the 4th of June. When we did get Into duylight we all bore a atrtkiiig resemblance to the col i red porter. 1' waa great fun to see the rest eveu If you were uol very eom lortable. ' , Oue day we rode through the Great American deeer. and saw the great mirage which to often deceived the thirsty, worn pioneer. At we left this barren waste we crossed the River Jor dan and entered the land flowing with milk and houey, where old Brigham Young held swi.y. At Halt Lake City we aaw the great Mormon temple, the, Tabernacle, tbe Hcchlve aud Lloii houses, where Brig ham Voting's wives lived; tithing uflloe and yard, Eagle gate and llrig biuu Young's grave. A long letter might be written of these alone. We were lu the tabernacle. It is just the shape of the half of a watermelon, with the oval side upward. It haa no cen ter supKrt, aud lu It we beard whis pers atK) feet away and saw the large organ. We weui out to Halt Air beach where tbe largest bathing pavilion in America ia situated, and it Is built on (he plan of the tabernacle, ll was too cold to bath in the Great Bait Lake but we could not leave It without playing In It It make the llesh feci very ulcely. , ' The next day we crossed the Rock- let to Denver One ia tilled with awe - - 1 . . . ... t . as ue loots at moee ouga mountains o i solid roca. come oi mem scarcely swerve from the perpendicular for from Ave hundred to a thousand feet or more. Many of the crags appear like huge castles, or piece of statuary of human faces or forms, animals oral most auytbiug you care to imagine them. The three grvat canons . through which we passed were Oruud, Ktgle und the Grand Cauou of the Arkansaa. Iu the last oiih we saw the wonderful Royal Gorge. The waters of the Ar kansas river, as they go foaming through here, seem to dash back to catch one more glimpse of the huge grtnlte walla which are oue, two aud three thousand feet above. Iu sonic places (high uUivc the track) the rocks project until they almost meet The roadway haa beeu blasted out close to the water's edge, but In the narrowest place a bridge i suspended from the smooth walla. This is the pramlest part uf the gorge. There one rtallzes how small ia the bnudlwork of man. We stopped oue day nt Denver. It is the prettiest city tu the West, unless LosAugclcs surpasses It It Isacity of brick and stoue aud has very wide streets. ' The next stop was, In Chicago,-. We found It very easy to Hud excellent board aud room us cheap there as any. where. It Is the same at the fair. There are plenty of good scats aud other accommodations free. It is uot necessarily au expensive place but 11 it grand. If you oan, by ull means go to the fair. If you have money. to spend, prepare to spend it now. We were there six days and will stay some time ou the way back. It takes me days to tell all I saw there, let alone wrltiug it But I say again, if you Wn, by all Waus go the fair. I ANA A.

Hart ford well known cat bid furewell to earth nf tor an eventful life of 15 years. Few cats enjoy the honorable career that had been tbe lot of Tommy Tucker. When a little mite of a kit ten, with no claim to pedigree and with no home, he wandered into the paper warerooms of E. Tucker's Bona, on Trumbull street He made friends, and from that day until his death he found a comfortable home. Only once in all bis life did he leave his borne for a brief interval Two yeara afro he was locked out one night Not appreciating what he considered an injustice, he started for tbe home of Mr. Tucker on Ed wards street Ho tailed to reach the hqjne of his master, and also lost his bearings aa to the location of the ' store. For seven days he was not aeen at the warerooms, when he waa returned by a lady who found him and recognized him aa Tommy Tucker. During the seven days he lost seven pounds of flesh. Hui joy kt finding his home waa manifested as only a cat can show joy. Tommy was a handsome cat He waa of the tiger variety, with a good showing of long white fur. His nose, breast and front feet were white, which were kept scrupulously clean at all times, as well as the rest of the body. The light and dark marking was sharply defined and the features were strong. The eyes were big and bright as new Columbian half dol lars and the whiskers long. Tommy when in his prime weighed 17 pounds. In bis old age he weighed somewhat lees. Tommy could perform many tricks and seemed very fond of his ac complishments. He would shake the hands of visitors and sit up when naked to. He waa especially fond of Lulu and in suitable weather would sit in front of the store to receive the attentions showered upon him by the admiring passersby. When young Tommy was fed with milk, and each morning a bowl was placed in front of tbe store with 5 cents to pay the milkman, it was the custom of the cat to look into the bowl to make sure that the money was not forgot ten. At times when the dust was blowing a cover would be placed over thebowL Tommy was bound to find out if the nickel waa in the bowl, and would push the cover off. If tbe coin was aeen, he would rest content until the milkman arrived, but if the bowl was empty he would make the fact known by an unusual activity be tween the office and the store front -Hartford Times.
