The warehouse of the Pioneer Paper Stock Company at Chicago was burned Thursday evening, entailing a loss of $55,000--$40,000 on building and $15,000 On contents. The building was a five- ftfory brick structure. The roof and loors fell in and only the wall on the west side is standing.

He did not "settle" volun tarily. The bartender poked a gun under his nose when he displayed his wealth and a loafer in the saloon helped in the robbery. Then he was kicked into the Street, and before he got a blocjr .nwny the saloon was dark. Mr. McCarthy walked to the Central Station and told the policeman there all about it. Near S^n Francisco, Cal., the Cliff House burned Tuesday night. Adolph Sutro's big bath-house, recently com pleted at a cost of $500,000, was threat ened. The Cliff House had a world-wide reputation, as it overlooked the seal rocks and was part of the possessions of Adolph Sutro, San F/aricisco's Mayor-elect. The buildings of the Cliff House were frame structures and were used as restaurants, saloons, and curio shops. In addition there were wide balconies from which the seals could be viewed. The Cliff House buildings were built thirty years ago, and no visitor ever went away from San Francisco without first going to the Cliff House and looking at the seals. Saturday night Miss Olie Hopewell, of St. Louis, was wedded to Albert P. Hulse, of Chicago. Sunday night the bride of a day sat by the side of the man to whom she had given her heart and watched the light and life pass from his face forever. There was nothing that medical skill could do to save him. The two had known days ago that death stood between them and happiness and must sooner or later strike down the man. Yet they married-- married even though the physician had said "There is no hope," because their love was strong in life and was intensi fied when eternity stepped between them and that happiness they had longed to realize. The St. Paul and Kansas City limited had hardly left the Sioux City Union station Friday morning when four men entered tlu- first day coach. They called out, "Every one keep still, we are just separating side of the Theyeom- ly Iverson to him, getting 'iriiS other property. He made a fight and this brought in Sheriff Davenport, who was in another car. He drew his revolver and started after the men, when they jumped off in the dark ness and escaped in the yards. A Mil waukee train was next entered and the men started through the coaches in the same way. They got clear through one coach before the train got into the heart of the city and took small amounts from every one of the twenty-four passengers on the train. They then jumped off and escaped. They wore no masks and still the passengers are unable to give good de scriptions of them and the officers have little to work on. Speaking of the "Black Crook," which is 6oon to Degin a brief engagement at McVicker's Chicago Theater, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: (No attrac tion of the sort.ever received a more en thusiastic reception than did the "Black Crook." The audience was a large one, and the members of it applauded the sing- In*?; dancing, and oth^r ^pocift! features of the production with hands, feet, and voice, and insisted on several repetitions of most numbers. Sam Collins and Allie Gilbert probably received the lion's share of the applause. Each is exceedingly clever, and it was hard to tell whether the winsome smiles, high kicking and melodious singing of la belle Gilbert, or the comical gyrations of Mr. Collins, came in for the bulk of the audience's ap probation. They are not the only clever members of the cast, however, and a num ber of novel features were introduced. Taken ati a whole, the Tompkins produc tion of the "Black Crook" is superb. Shore Acres," one of theenost interest ing and truthful pictures of life ever seen on the American stage will follow "Black Crook." ... ^outhernT - As a result %t conferences political friends J udge Nathan Goff is likely to be come a candidate for Senator from West Virginia.

The pope has addressed a confidential message to the cabinets of the several Eu ropean powers, caling attention to the troubles in Italy and inviting the sup port of the powers ih the event of compli cations. The telegraph lines in the northern part of Great Britain are still down and the full amount of damage by the storm is not known. It is estimated, however, that from 50 to 100 persons lost their lives in various manners during the pro gress of the gale. ' . The first meeting of the creditors of J. T. M. Pierce & Co. was held at London, and proofs were furnished of the sale of bogus Yankton, S. D., school bonds. In Belfast, it appears, £30,000 of these bonds were placed, and £25,000 were disposed of in Manchester. In Huddersfield, Glas gow and Bedford, respectively, £20,000 of the alleged securities were sold, and in London the bonds were placed to the amount of £50,000. The creditors proved debts against the firm amounting to £120,000. At Constantinople the Sultan Monday evening made a final reply to the applica tion of United States Minister Terrell for permission to have Consul Jewett make an independent inquiry into Armenian troubles. The Sultan positively declined to allow the Consul to accompany the commission. The refusal was not unex pected at Washington. The reluctance of the Turkish Government is accounted for by the formidable proportions to which the agitation in the United States in favor of intercession on behalf of the Armeni ans in Turkey has attained. The Frankfurter Zeitung, Berlin, pub lishes a letter dated March 29, 1890, from Baroness Charles de Rothschild to Em peror William, begging for protection for the Jews in Germany. The secretary of the Emperor in reply wrote: "His majes ty is unable to perceive what circum stances at the present moment ciyi give cause for the expression of such fear and anxiety regarding the treatment of his Jewish subjects. He regards all his sub jects without reference to class or re ligious profession, with the same paternal benevolence. His Jewish subjects may rely all the more upon his mftjesty's pro tection, inasmuch as, in accordance with the assurance made by the writer's letter, their endeavor wall be to yield to no other class of the population in the exercise of true patriotism and civic virtue." Chronological Recital of All the Im portant Events in Legislative, Judi cial and Commercial Circles--Start ling Deeds of Crime--Stirring Inci dents in Military Matters--Record of IHsasters on I«and and Sea--Devasta tion by Fire and Pestilence--The Year of '94 Made History Rapidly. Below will be found a concise recital of all the events at home and abroad which go to make up the history of 1894. In America, as in Europe, there has been ex perienced a period of severe financial de pression. The year was marked by the most Rtnpe'ndc'.vs disturbance of labo? eii- cles in the history of the country, neces sitating the employment of government forces for its suppression. Political con tests have been nearly as stirring as a national election. The world has been thrilled by tales of horror from devastat ing forest fires, and death has claimed many illustrious men. The year will be long remembered as one of the most nota ble of the century. Abroad, the theater of news has been principally in the Orient. There is at present raging the war be tween Japan and China, and to the aston ishment of all civilized nations the island kingdom has worsted its mighty foe in every contest of note. Fort after fort has fallen before Japan's forces, and three separate armies are marching upon the capital of the Flowery Kingdom. The Chinese empire, if not fallen, is humbled, and has already taken initiatory steps to sue for peace. Continental Europe has been at peace, and Russia mourns the death of her Czar. „ ^ JANUARY. y?.p?n,n? of Manchester, Eng.,ship canal. • Theater. 1! ,ston. burns; $1,000',000. 2--Six killed in Rock Island wreck at Lln- wood, Kan....Riot at Dayton, la.; one killed, troops t 3--$1,300,000 fire at Toledo; $250,000 at De- Ktrolt ...Franklin Grove, 111., Bank robbed or $«50|000« 8---$1,200,000 Are at World's Fair grounds.

Quietly reposing on one of the many well-filled shelves in Flinders Petrie's private museum in London is an an cient agricultural Implement which throws much light on the art of hus bandry as practiced by the prehistoric Egyptians. This antique farming tool Is a wooden scythe blade, which was found securely imbedded in the mortar of one of the oldest tombs of the valley of the lower Nile. The shaft of the in strument, as already stated, is of wood of some unknown species, the edge being carefully set with a row of flints so as to present their jagged edges in a manner not unlike that exhibited by the teeth of a saw. These flints are of uniform size, the base of each being fastened so as to fit the curve of the wooden blade. The teeth are not set into a groove along the edge of the blade, as one would naturally suppose, but each are firmly cemented In place, the material being of such excellent composition and the workmanship of such superior quality that after a lapse of time closely approximating 6,000 years they appear as sound and per fect as when first taken afield by their original owner. ^ To manage a furnace flre: The fire should be shaken down and raked per fectly clear every morning. A few shovelfuls of coal should be put on and all the draughts opened. The ashes should then be taken up. As soon as the coal begins to burn well and the flro looks clear at the bottom put in coal enough to come almost to the top of the Milwaukee is a variation of Minne- waukee, meaning "rich and beautiful country." One of the easiest ways to take a cold Is to drop asleep without an extra wrap 8UB8TITUTE PLAN INI ISLE'# 80 Many Objection* to the Old On# that Mr. Springer audi 8fccretwr||i v Carlisle Decide to Submit a lie# Measure--Mews, Notes. •m$r Some Important Change*. After conferences between the cratic members of the House Comiuittet on Banking and Currency and with thii approval of the Secretary of the Tread*, ; ury Mr. Springer introduced a substitute** for the Carlisle currency bill. It is sub* stantially a new measure, although somi| , • of the sections of the original measutii" are retained in the new bill. Two very important features make appearance for the first time in the sub stitute. The main one will have the effe<|t of allowing the national banking systei|| « to run along, without an arbitrary provi»« ' ion that banks must organize under th* new system. The original Carlisle bit| contemplated that all national banks mus| reorganize. under the new plan. Thijr would have required thera to surrender the government bonds which now const$>; tute the basis of their circulation. Bid ihe substitute does away with this inW perative change. If national banks wistf to continue to hold their United State# bcnd« and issue circulation thereon ihegj may do so. It is feit that they wiii soojf < discover the advantages of the new tem, and will, therefore, adopt it volniiff; / tarily. The other important feature of the •tdK; / stitute is that it does away with the ui|*| v known liability of banks to guarantee th4 notes of all other banks. This feature of the original bill has been much criticised* It -contemplated that if a national bante failed its liotes would be paid out of itg assets and the general "safety fund** made up by all the banks. But if-the a4* sets and safety fund were insufficient t^ pay the notes of the failed bank, then th# comptroller of the currency was to mal a pro rata assessment on all the banks ' the country. The banks said this pro#, pective assessment shouidered them wit|| an unknown risk. In effcct it made then| supply insurance on all the notes of banki In which they had no concern.- In view of these criticisms the si tute will do\ away with the assessme plan. The "safety fund" will be the limi of the joint liability of all the banks fc the failure pi individual banks. Thejl will, however, be compelled to keep m» this safety fund by more rigid provisions than appeared in the original bill. - The new bill is arranged so as to sho^H the new features in parentheses. Tb#' first section is as folows: „ "(a). That (so much of) all acts anil? parts of acts as required or authorized thft deposit of United States bonds to securft circulating notes issued by national bank* Ing associations (or as required such a#» sociations to deposit or keep on deposif United States bonds for any purpose e:& cept as security for public money) be, an(K the same hereby are repealed (as to asso ciations taking out circulation under thift act); and such notes shall not contain itatement that they are so secured." ^ Section 2 is changed so that banks cai| not only deposit legal tenders to secnr# circulation, but also "currency certiflc cates issued under section 5193 of the r^l# vised statues of the United States." 1 Section 3 is retained entire, except thai! tts provisions are restricted to apply to tional banking associations "taking on circulation under this act." ||| Section 4 inserts "the comptroller of tfatf currency" as the officer to designate tht place where notes are to be redeemed. ^, In Relation to the Safety Fund* ||v In section 5 provu||n is made for kee] Ing up the safet^MflB^uidJin addition the terms of the oiibvau1 billi^is provided that "the collection of said qf one- , fourth of 1 per cent, for each hali-rUS^F shall be resumed and continued until the said fund is restored to an amount equal to 5 per cent, upon the total circulation outstanding. All circulation notes cp failed national banks not redeemed € presentation to the treasurer of tho Unif ed States or an assistant treasurer of United States shall bear interest at rate of 6 per cent, per annutn from date of the suspension of the bank unl thirty days after public notice has b<?ei| given that funds are on hand for thein demption, and such notes shall consti^ndt , >• a first lien upon all moneys thereafter r#» ceived into the safety fund." , I Section 6, allowing the Secretary of th^t*^. Treasury to invest money in the safetjf fund in bonds, is the same as the, origin^ \ bill. • .C; • Section 7 is entirely new and takes tibp:, place of a section which has been elinii inated. The new section is as follows: $:"V J. "Section 7. That every national banM; '• Ing association heretofore organized an|| having bonds on deposit to secure circuity tion may withdraw such bonds upon thf 1 deposit of lawful money of the Unite4 States, now provided by law, and ther|< . .. after such association may take eut circuit la tion under this act and be entitled to aJl the rights and privileges and immunitidi . herein conferred." Section 8 specifies that the portion <i| the national banking act to be repealed til limited to so much of section 12 "as d|*v-. ' rects the Secretary of the Treasury to r<jj§V ceive deposits of gold and to issue certi^ elites thereon." "".i'f j' v' Section 9 is substantially the same as i|| the original bill. Section 10, providing for State bsnki^ Is also the same as in the original bill, em": ' , cept that in the restrictions on Stal|| V banks a new provision is made that tlii guaranty fund maintained by fhem mal include "currency certificates Issued ufi,.,?; der section 5,193 of the revisei statutes?!: » "Section 11. (That any backing ass^ ciation organized under the laws of ank. State may deposit with the Treasurer ihe United States legal tender notes, andTe* ceiv© certificates therefor in tho mannef pwsYldei in section 5.1&3 ef the revise^ statute Of the United States and) thl Secretary of the Treasury stay, undd| proper roles and regulation^ te be estaBji;. ; lishei by him, permit such baste to pra» cure and use in the prepasa*»» of ttteQ notes the distinctive paper used in pcinfc ing United States secuiitieat kit no Staty bank shall print or engrave its notes i& similitude of a United States nets or tificate. or national note.1 NEW BASE-BALL ST Successor to the Famous Captain the New Tork Team.
