Church in the Pure Breezes
of Heaven.
Milwaukee, April 9. The Davidson
theater, the finest in Milwaukee and one
of the handsomest and costliest build
ings in the country, was destroyed by
fire, which broke out between 4 and 5
o'clock this morning. Valuable scenery
carried by the Lilliputians, worth $25,
000, is a1! gone. The theater roof, on
which a score or more firemen - stood,
went down and the men were carried
with it. Some were rescued from the
flames by their comrades, who risked
their lives to carry out the forms of the
dead and injured. Seven or eight were
soon brought out, and those, able to
speak said there must be 10 more in the
ruins. The burning roof had fallen on
them, and they were roasted to d-ath if
not killed in plunging from tuo roof.
Several men working in the theater
were , caught by falling timbers - and
other portions of the roof, making the
rescue of the imprisoned men impossible.
The police repott 16 lives loBt. The
property loss is $500,000. Assistant
Chifef Devere was on the roof at the time
of the crash, but escaped without in jury.
John Gee went down with the roof,' and
was pinned down with bricks, but
slipped out of his clothing and escaped,
though badly bruised and burned.
Following is a partial list of the men
buried under the ruins, all firemen :
George Junssen, Assistant Chief August
Junssen, Archie Campbell, Thomas
Morgan, James Freemen, O'Neil Crow
ley. Rescued and taken to the Emer
gency hospital: lieutenant Curran,
probably fatally injured; Fred Martb,
foot crushed ; Fred Schroeder, John Gee,
badly burned, back hurt ; Captain Line
han, probably fatally. At the morgue :
Ollie Keis, fell from a ladder.
The guests of the Davidson hotel were
panic stricken; none were injured.
Loss to the Lilliputian company, $60,000;
to the theater, about $400,000.
How Gladstone feels.
London, April 9. Gladstone writes to
a friend : "If any one asks you how I
am, tell them I feel like a disestablished
church with bracing breezes blowing
around me." '
Blnger Hermann Nominated for Congress
Salem, April 9. The first congres
sional district ' convention was held in
this city today. H. B. Miller, of Joseph
ine, was chairman and J. W. Hobbs, of
Yamhill, secretary. After the usnal
preliminary proceedings nominations
for member of congress were in order.
D. C. K. Buick, of Roseburg, nominated
Binger Hermann, with remarks upon
his ability and record as such represent
ative. The name of Thomas H. Tongue,
of Washington, was placed before the
convention by J. A. Carson, of Marion,
but Mr. Tongue declined in favor of
Hermann, and then the latter was
nominated by acclamation. After
naming a congressional central com
mittee the convention adjourned. A
big ratification meeting was held in the
Armory tonight, Mr. Tongue and other
prominent gentlemen speaking.
Catting: Down Expenses. V
Salem, April 9. The state military
board was in quarterly session here to
day, routine business being transacted
principally. An order was issued that
Hereafter no expenditure of money
should be made by any officer of the
National Guard without first obtaining
the sanction of the military board. An
endeavor to reduce expenditures to 'a
minimum is the object.
Mrs. Emily Thorne, who resides at
Toledo, Washington, says she has never
. been able to procure any medicine for
rheumatism that relieves the. pain so
qnickly and effectually as Chamberlain's
Pain Balm and that she has also used it
for lame back with great success. For
sale by Blakeley & Houghton, druggists.'
THE HOUSE INCIDENT.
A Store Graphic Description of It than
the Telegraphic Report.
A' letter from Washington gives thase
details of the recent tilt in the house.
The day of Crisp's martyrdom in the
interest of party exigency was notable
for a dramatic tilt between what may be
called the positive and negative poles of
the house the speaker and the ex
speaker. Crisp had requested all mem
bers to take their seats during a roll
call. "I would like to be ' permitted to
see the roll call," said Mr. Reed in a
quiet voice. "The gentleman must
take his seat under the rule," said the
speaker, sharply. The man from Maine
bowed and smiled in mock humility as
he backed down one of the aisles. "I am
going to do it," he said. "The sergeant-at-arms
will ask the gentleman to take
his seat," said the speaker. The burly
form of Reed was ambling down the
aisle. He staggered and turned as if he
had been shot. His face flushed and he
looked scornfully at Crisp.' "That is
entirely unnecessary," he said. Mr.
Crisp retorted quickly "It is not. In
stead of taking your seat" the speaker
forgot parliamentary propriety and used
the personal pronoun "you respond to
the chair every time." "Certainly I
do,", said Mr. Reed, heated but- un
abashed, "because the chair attacks me."
The speaker uttered his ultimatum :
The gentleman must take his
seat." Mr. Reed hesitated just a
moment and then, amid a deathlike
silence in the house',' he moved. He
walked like a man following a corpse.
His. head was bowed and his feet,
weighted with unwillingness, dragged
heavily. The democrats were smiling to
see the bead of their arch-enemy bowed.
Finally Mr. Reed reached his chair,
swung it nervously once or twice, and
then with a face pale with wrath he
glanced contemptuously at the demo
cratic side and sank into his seat. The
democi ats applauded and cheered. Some
of the republicans met this demonstra
tion with hTsses. The speaker rapped
for order, the roll-call was resumed, and
the incident was at an end.
A NEW WHITE METAL.
It Is Much Lighter Than Aluminum and
i IB Besides This Transparent.
A man who has been chopping wood
for a number of years in Pine Nut dis
trict lately found a new metal, says a
San Francisco dispatch to the Xew
York Journal. His stone oven having
been burned out he took some clay
from a large deposit he knew of near
by and, mixing1 it with a little water,
made a back, built a fire in his stove
and paid no more attention to it until
next morning-, when he noticed that
his stove-back was gone and ,in the
ashes he found a white, clear metal
with scarcely any weight to it.
It would not break, so he put it on
an old anvil outside the cabin and hit
it with a heavy hammer. It would
draw out, but neither crack nor break.
He has since experimented with it in
various ways. The clay will melt like
lead, but the metal produced will stand
a heat like iron or. steel and is very
flexible. .
He beat out a piece four inches thick,
six inches wide and eleven inches long.
The block is transparent and weighs
only nine ounces. He says there is ho
limit to the clay, as he has seen the
same kind in several parts of this and
other states. He will melt out a block
two feet square and have it at the Mid
winter fair for people to see.

METAPHOR1CALLY SPEAKING.
What la Meant by Warm and. Cold
Clothing.
When we speak of warm or cold
clothing wo use as absolute a metaphor
as when we talk of the sun going
down or the - "rosy fingered dawn."
Clothes can communicate neither
heat nor cold to the body. Fur is not
warm nor linen cool, says the Phila
delphia Press, except as they serve as
conductors for the heat generated by
the body itself. ' Fur and wool are ex
cellent non-conductors of heat, that is
they do not-allow the heat of the body
to escape so easily as some other ma
terials, and the reason why fur is one
of the poorest conductors of heat is
not, as might be supposed, so much be
cause of its thickness and weight as
because" of the air which is
mingled with or confined between
its fibers, confined air being one
of the most effectual non-conductors of
heat known. Newspapers are another
of the best non-conductors of heat
and a sheet of one folded and .laid be
tween the shoulder blades will warm
that posterior region as effectually as it
warms the hearts of its readers who
happen to be of-the same politics. Of
course the colder the atmosphere the
greater the escape of bodily heat and
the greater the necessity of its conser
vation, by non-conducting . clothing.
And clothing should always be varied
to correspond to the variations . of
temperature,, a fac.t which is recog
nized and met by the- Chinese, who
.speak "of the weather as "one jpeket
cold, two jockets cold'Vete. ' Of course
there can be no rule applicable to all,
and the ability to generate and main
tain heat must be the criterion. Chil
dren and old people have less of this
ability than those in "the prime of life,--and
consequently need greater protec
tion or consei-vntion of what they do
generate, and, in the case of children
at least, the dictates of fashion should
never be allowed to interfere with
those of health and comfort.

GAY SOCIETY IN RUSSIA.
The Women Inveterate Disseminator of
.Political Gossip and State Secrets.
Those who are.best qualified by ex
perience! to express an . opinion . are
unanimous in declaring that there is
no gayer or more brilliant society in
Europe than that at St Petersburg-. It
has a cachet all its own, says the Lady,
and if it is less difficult of access to for
eigners than London or Paris society it
is so simply because hostesses too im
plicitly rely, upon their friends of both
sexes not to introduce into their salons
any but persons of irreproachable char
acter. The Itussian lady is so clever
that she docs not require any details of
a story. She guesses at these, and. if
necessary, supplies , them: in other
words, invents them. The one word
which a guileless official has let drop
which she has "surprised on his lips"
serves her as "the key to. the mystery;
the rest is easy, - Of course, she only
communicates these state secrets to her
most intimate friends, who themselves
are. sworn to secrecy, but she has so
many friends of both sexes that in an
incredibly short space of time "the im
portant morsel of gossip is literally
all over St. Petersburg'. To the for
eign ambassadors she is more valuable
than a legion of spies. Those persons
are assiduous visitors to the leading
salons, where, as may be supposed,
they pick up quite as much as they
want to know, and thus are often bet
ter informed than the emperor's minis
ter of foreign affairs himself. There
is a mad race among the fair leaders
of the grande monde to attract the
largest number .of diplomatists and
great personages in their drawing
rooms. Thus it happens that the
younger women, if not excluded from
the salons -which they would so adorn
but for this political craze, are not of t
en seen in the principal houses, save
at balls and similar frivolous gather
ings. The St. Petersburg salons are
really not a whit better than the men's
clubs, presided over by maitresse de
maison. The very boudoirs are trans
formed into studies, the grandes salles
into places "of rendezvous for politi
cians, and the bedrooms into ware
houses of state secrets. - '
'Mistaken Consumptives.
In the treatment of lung and bronchial
diseases. the liver is often implicated to
such an extent that a hepathic remedy
becomes necessary in effecting a cure of
the lungs. In the treatment of each
cases I prescribe Simmons Liver Regu
lator with entire satisfaction.
