THE VICEROY SHOCKED
Li Hung Chang's Experience
With Electricity.
KILLED BY A FALLING WALL
Terrible Holocaust at Benton Barbor
Kleven Firemen Lost Their
Lives.
Niagaba Falls, Sept. 6. The special
train bearing Li Hang Chang and bia
party arrived here at" noon today. Rain
was falling at the time, and the visitors
dampened their ailk blouses and gold
lace somewhat in the journey to the
Cataract bouse, where rooms had been
engaged. Immediately upon ' arriving
'Li sat for a dentist, and had bis teeth
examined. The rain was a great disap
pointment, as the viceroy was very de
sirous of visiting the American falls in
the afternoon. There was no cessation
in the downpour until 3 o'clock, when
the son struggled through the clouds.
Carriages were summoned, and the visi
tors spent two hours in inspecting the
wonders of Niagara.
At the electric power-house of the
Niagara Falls Power Company, the dis
tinguished visitor bad an experience
with American electricity, the result be
ing as startling as it was unexpected.
With his usual curiosity and desire to
make a personal investigation of the
machinery before him, he poked at a
switchboard with his walkfng stick. The
metal ferule closed the circuit instantly,
and Li's stick was violently torn from
bis grasp. He was naturally much as
tonished at the effect of the stick's con
tract with the . switchboard, but for
innately be. suffered no damage beyond
a good scare. However, he decided that
be bad seen enough, and went to bis
rooms, where be. remained until bed
time. v
UNDER A FALLING WALL.
A. Terrible Holocaust at the
an Opera House;
Burning- of
Benton Harbor, Mich., Sept. 6. The
most horrible holocaust, with the great
est loss of life, known in this part of the
state occurred last nigbt, when Yore's
opera bouse took fire and in tbe fight to
save the building and other blocks ad
joining, 11 firemen, one a volunteer, met
their fate at one time, the deaths being
instanstaneous, with five of them. Six
lived only a few hours in awful agony,
while several others met with severe in
juries.
Daring the evening the play, "A Fac
tory Girl," had been given by local tal
ent, ana trie tneater nad closea but a
half hour before the fire was discovered
The building was filled from basement
to tbe fourth story with a suffocating
smoke, which burst into sheets of flame
throughout the entire audience room,
before tbe fire department could respond
with a single stream of water, there be
ing some confusion at tbe outeet, .owing
to the lack of hook and ladder facilities,
although the local fire companies had
closed a two daye' tournament, exhibit
ing great skill in their work.
The St. Joseph department was called
on for assistance. They approached the
building through an alley, unloading
ladders in the rear of the building, and,
while hoisting them, the upper walls
fell over without warning, covering the
men. This was witnessed by hundreds
of spectators.
A PLUCKY CALIFORNIA ENGINEER
Shot a. Train Robber' and Failed Oat

Sacramento, Sept; '"5. An. attempt
was made tonight to hold up tbe over
land express eight miles west of this
city. The engineer killed one of the

son and posse have gone to the scene in
a special train.
As the train .approached Webster, a
man crawled over the tender, and cover
ing tbe engineer and fireman with a. ni.
tol ordered them to slow up. This En

the . engine with the first robber. At
first tbe bandit watched tbe engineer
closely, but he was too much interested
in what his companion was doing, and
bis watcb relaxed. Ingalls quick as a
flaBh seized a pistol wbich was lying in
the box at bis side and fired two shots.
Tbe bandit fell from the engine and the
engineer pulled the throttle open and
the train dashed for Sacramento. Fire
man Burns jumped on the moving train
and the masked robber who was with
him on the platform of the express car.
jumped off and fled into the darkness.
PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS TO BE FREE
Archbishop Ireland Issues
. the, Subject.
a Letter on
St. Paul, Sept. 5. Archbishop Ire
land baa issued a letter, annonncing
that hereafter at the Catholic parochial
schools no tutition would . be charged,
such tutition being considered an obsta
cle to tbe growth of the schools.
In the course of the letter he says
"Of course the expenses of maintaining
the schools must be provided for in
some way. Pastors will take the amount
of these expenses from the regular
church receipts of the parish, and will
rely upon extraordinary measures wbich
their own judgment may command
Catholics will, we are sure, co-operate
with their pastors in maintaining the
parish schools. The proper view to be
taken of tbe Catholic school is ,to regard
it as a great religious work in which all
are concerned, whether they have, or
have not children attending it."

Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows:
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is not a patent
medicine. It does not belong . to the
list of nostrums. It is here on its
