Cheap Furniture Insured at Many Times, its Value. * New York, Jan. 6.--One of the most remarkable exhibitions ever presented by a city is to open to the public here to-day, under the auspices of the fire department. The exhibit consists simply of a few pieces of cheap fur- niture and some' placards from which it is learned that the furniture cost $3.96 and was insured by the fire de- partment for $127,500.

Pekin Edict Robs Orientals of Silky Picturesqueness. San Francisco, . Jan. 6.--~China- town soon will lose all its eld-tinte picturesqueness. All daughters of 3 ithe Orient have started to-day upon a grand dressmaking bee. The government edict has gone forth from Pekin and is published to-day in local Chinese papers that 4 ihe poetic trousers of old are tp be) carded by Chinese women "and their proper garb shall he the ocei- dental skirt. : The = sumptuary™ edict bans not only cr usnry, but the pannier skirt changes for men's garments.

"To prove its contention, the department got together the $3.96 worth of fur- niture and insured it for a big for- tune. In one instance the department agents even insured for $10,000 the fictitious furniture in an empty house. "No wonder more than twenty-five per cent. of the fires are incendiary," lared Fire Commissioner Jones. "The method of placing fire insurance policies without inspection places a premium upon arson by offering the financially weak, tottering or bank- rupt man an irresistible temptation.

Baltimore, Md., Jan. 6.--Not less than fourteen and possibly twenty- two persons lost their lives when the steamer Luckenback was sent to the bottom by the British steamer Indrakyika. near Tangier Island light at seven o'clock Friday morn- ing. First Officer Hunt and six seamen were rescued from the Luck- enback, © The only passenger lost was Mrs. H. E. Gilbert, wife of the captain of the Luckenback, who was accompanying him on the vessel. After the Luckenback sank, Hunt and the seven men lashed to tha rigging tried to attract the at'en- t'on of 'the ship that had rammed them. It disappeared in the fogz. The wind was blowing forty miles an hour and the heavy seas that broke over them threatemed 10 break their 1 and carry them | e! @ ship. Tu: biter cold and the water made the men suffer terribly. , The fog did not lift-upntil after nine o'clock. From then until one o'clock in the afternoon the eight men hung in the rigging trying to sight a ship. The wind increased in its fury and ewayed the top- mast 'to which they clung. Boats ordinarily on the bay had crept into safe harbors. ihe Spanish steamer Pennsylvania put off boats, and while the wind tossed them like chips the eight men were _ taken from the spar and hauled up the side of the Pennsylvania. The Luckenback sunk five min- utes after the Indrakulka, coming out of the fog, dealt her a death blow. Only those on the top deck had time to escape. Tne others caught below decks died : without knowing what had happened. The Indrakulka, with a big hole in her side, backed away from the sinking ship and headed for the beach around Tangier Sound.' She was grounded in time for all of her crew to be-saved. BOY GETS APPOINTMENT. Orphan Lad, Who Helps Grand. mother, Page in Senate, Washington, Jan. 6.--Douglas A.
