SlLVfn, as a mmmodity. has its Value
filed by the uuotations for It in the Lon
don market, says the New York Kttr.
Tht price of any rotumolity is settled by
the stlling value of the surplus supply.
And, owitiu to the trade relations between
Great Britain and the tilver using coun
tries of the east. London has been the
market for the surplus silver of the world.
It Is interesting to note that the preva
Unt agitation of ihe silver question bss
produced a decided appreciation in the
maiket value of the .u. At one time
durina the present ytsr the price for bar
silver In London wss down to about the
lowest figures on record There has since
last summer been an advance of over four
cents per ounce in the price. The Lon
don quotation Is now 44 J pence, or about
86 cents, and from present appearance
lb market Is likely to aJvance still more.
This proceeding has an impertant bear
ing on the solution of the silver problem.
The recent gain In price has been In part
due to the action or the English govern
ment itself. Awakeniug to the necessity
of doing something to stop the deprecia
tion of silver, the exchequer and the bank
of England have cooperated to increase
the silver coins. This immediately
strengthened the market, and tb reports
that the silver question was to be taken
up In congress has caused a further ads
vance. Whether Mr. Wlndom's extraor
dinary warehousing plan for American
liver bullion will have permanent ef
fect on the silver market remains to be
Men. But It is evident from the action
of prices that little international iffort
would be required to put silver upon a
much higher basis-of value. And If the
value can be approximated in any way to
tbe level at which it sold before the great
decline Id the seventies, most of tbe dif
ficulties of the ailver problem will be
solved.

It has even li mated by a Gorman ob
server that much of the nervous delicacy so
enmmon among girls is traceable to excessive
diligence at tbe piano. Thtrre is more than a
grain of truth In this observation. The limit
of moderation, indeed, may not lie capable of
exact delluiiton, fur a longer or short-r pei-iisi
would naturally suit the need snd ruicity
of different persona. One sr two hours of
practice, it is prolsxblu, would rarely provs
sxretoive. When, uowever.six or eight hours
ara daily absorbed lu repenting a humdrum
series of manipulations, the nouder is that
nature long midures the drudgery. Yet this
is the common lot of many who aspire to
skillful execution.
The coveted perfect I.hi doublless is ofteu
approximately reached, but the as-iated
circumstance of nervous overstrain mil sug
gest a doubt whether such qualilled excel
lence Is altogether desirable. At all events,
it fat but reason to allow that proficiency so
dearly purchased Is not, for young ts-ople of
deficient nervous tone, a social necemity, espe
cially if they be also void of any special ar
tistic aptitude. Nay.even tti.ise nboae health
and energy permit them to enjoy, if they
chouse, the irivilge of musical hard labor,
a frequent interlude of rest and recreation is

Finely bred. Intelligent horses are often
very nervous.. Tbey are quick to notice.
quick to take alarm, quick to do w hat sexms
to them, lu moments of sudlen terror, neces
sary to escape from oMbn barm, from
something they do not untlersrand. That is
what makes theua thy, bolt aud runaway.
We nuinor tell a bat awful suggestions

aught we eau tell, a sheet of white si per in
the mad may seem to the nervous horse a
yawning chasm; tbe open front of a baby
carriage, the Jaws of a dragon ready to de

rifying sort of a flying devil without wuigs.
But we find that, ths momeut he becotuus fa

and look closely at it. Kemeuits-r, too, that
you must familiarize both sides of him with

A Oneer Cigar Lighter.
The (bstkury cigar store recently became
the poti-Mr of quite a curiosity in tbe way
of a cigar lighter. It is a contrivance in
vented by an old German profostor named
Koelsireln, at Jeua, a small German burn, In

tended his Invention for a cigar lighter, but
It seeuis to be better adapted for that purpose
than for anythlug else, la appearance this
machine Is a two quart glass Jur having a top
cap of brass, in the center of which is a valve
opened by preeslug down on a lever, and op
posite and about au bach from tbe opwnlug is
a small tube containing a platinum plate
aliout tbe size of a nickel.
In the Jar is a mixture of vitriol and water,
and pendent from tbe top by a brass wire Is
a small piece of sine. This sine is so acted on
bv tlie vitriol that it extracts the hydrogen
from the water and forma a gas. I'n-ing

trivance to is bard now to conjecture, but It

Invented so long ago and yet has remained In

Hotel Fire la St. Pant Biases Else
where Mumapous, Minn.. Dec. 8. Eleven hu
man Uvea and .'O,(KI0 worth of property
was sacrificed Saturday night by a fire that
originated in tbe rooms of the Union league,
on the third floor of The Minneapolis Trib
une building. The fire was discovered shortly
after 10 o'clock by a district measenger, and
almost before an alarm could be turned in
every door and window of the Immense
saven-storr building waa belching fire and
smoke. There were upward of eighty men,
including the editorial staff and a force of
compositors, at work on the seventh floor,
and these were penned in like sheep by the
sheets of flames that separated them from
the elevator and stairway.
A Hash to Lafe.
Then lsycn a frenzied stampede for the
windows and roof. Meanwhile the fire de
partment had got a ladder up to the sixth
floor, and from there thirty or forty men
were tukeu out of the building and landed on
ta-rra firma. Those who were on the roof
dared not descend, and several jumped to
the roofs of adjoining building and escaped
with a few bruises. lr. Olson. preMIeut of
the university of Dakota, at Vermillion, was
among those on the root, and seeing all
means of escape cut off, he eayed to jump
to an adjoining building. He ?dippl and fell
to the ledge ol the window on the sixth story,
aud from there to the ground. He fell head
foremost and was instantly killed, every
bone in his body being broken.
How suie Met Their Fate.
J. F. Igoe. niht operator for the Associ
ated Prps, stuck to his pot until it was too
late to ecaj. He waa frightfully burned
about the head, and in his nk'ouv lie, too,
jumped from Die btiniing building and was
killed. Agi'tit Mi leu, of the Aasoxiateil Press,
wknw home is in Detroit, Mich., attempted
to follow Ig'ie, but fell back into the crater
of flume and was burned to a crisp. Milton
A. Pickett, a reporter for The Pioneer Press,
whme office was in The Tribune building,
was caught, with a companion named Ilerce,
on the stairway, and there they were roasted
to denth. and siilisrquently crashed to a pulp
by falling tunliers. While the tire was at its
height J. Mct'iitctuxni apiswvd in one of the
wiudowsof th comporting ristm and jumped
into a net held bv the firemen below. The
weight of bis Isslv carried tlie net to tlie
stone vemeiit, und he died a few minute
after being picked up.
A few moments al ter he had juintssl, an
otlier of the printers apeared at a window
on the opsite sule or the rooms, lie was
told to wait a moment, and a ladder srould
be sent tip to Inni. He aprred crazed by
fright, however, and instead of waiting.
pulled a revolver and. placing the muzzle to
bat head. tire. I. Tlie reisrt was heard in tbe
street, and the ninii was seen to drop to the
flisir. His name could not is- learneiL It
was rumored that auothcr man had also shot
himself, but this resrt could not be veritied.
Narrow Ksrane of the Foren.au.
Some of the printers w ho were tbe lost to
leave the building made their eseape ou the
exteusioti ladders put up by the nremen
Among tlu-se was Frank Hoover Just a
be left the lelge and got on to the ladder,
which the tireinen were lowering, H
Williams, the foreman, apswred iiou the
ledge. The ladder was then too far for him
to roach. "4oal-by, Frank,' he called out to
the tjy Is-low huu as lie leamsl over and
saw the ladiler disappear. Tlie firemen Is
low saw him as the ladder came down aud
rushed it up aga in just as the Dailies reached
Williams. He lost uo time in getting on the
ladder and was lowered to the ground as the
flames swept across tbe ledge uisjn w hich be
had just sto si. sweeping all 1fore it His
band was IstUlv bunted, and be will lu dis
able.! for several weeks at least.
The Origination of the t ire.

tluitl story r the building about losto p. iu.
The elevator man noticed tlie smell of amoke
and inlle.1 the attention of some of the per
sons around the building to it. The cry of
fire was raised, and several persons went
down stairs from the seventh story to inves
tigate and then revertied to work. Before
long smoke began to till the narrow stair-
wav, the oulv one in the building, and every
body began to make leisurely preparations
for their deiarture, o immediate danger
waa feared. The only exiu to the budding,
which was erroneously nipiosl to bo fire
proof, w ere a narrow staircase, scarcely wide
enough for two persvms to come down
abrewt, the ehxator, and a siugie tire escape
at the north end of tlie building. Several
persons had made their escape in the mean
time, but in les than ten minute the
flames sought the elevator shaft, which,
acting as a mammoth flue, conveyed tbe
flames to the top story, and soon tbe editorial
room in tbe same side of the building where
the fire originated were a seething mass of
flames.
Terrible Situation or the Printers.
In a few minutes tbey reached tbe other
side, where the composing-room was situate!
A general alarm was turned in and all the
engine in the city re-pondcd to the call
The imprisoned printers gathered at the
windows in the south end aud shrieked
wildly, despairingly for aid. 'Hurry the
ladders" was the awful refrain that bur
dened tlie nir. "Hurry the ladders, for (iod'a
sake," shrieked with all the vehemence and
power that the anguinbed souls of the dozens
in peril of their lives by an awful death, waa
all thy could utter. The vast crowd that
from tbe opposite side viewed the fire
wreak ita work ahouted words of
enoouragoraent and good spirits to tnson In
strenuous endeavors to buoy them up. Tbe
long ladder seemed to move up at a snail's
pace, but w as finally rested in position, and the
crowd lavan to descend, tbe names makiug
steady eucr'sv-bmeuta in the corner where
tbe frightened men had huddled like cower
ing animals. The life-nets were brought,
and some were saved by this means.
The Marned Bulletins.
The Tribune building was five years old, a
seven -story brick structure, and valued at
ftfUO.OuO. It contained Tbe Tribune news
paper, Tlie Trihune-Htar, and The Journal,
The Tribune Job printing establishment, the
editorial rooms of the Minneapolis depart
ment of Tbe St. Paul Pioneer Press, The
Hvenske Folkets Tiding, a Swedish newspa

James F. Iifoe. tlie night operator of the

He was at work on the seventh floor when
the rep jl t of the fire was first revived aud
ni mediately oK-ud h is key, stating the tbe
fact to tbe bead office in Chioago.and aaking
for a minute's time to investigate. Soon he
returned to his instrument, apparently
thinking he was safe, and told tlie sending
operator to continue. In a moment he would
nave to skip, and found too late that esca
was cut off. He jumped from the seventh

tbe grounc of opposition to the admission of

that the ju Ige had no authority upon which
to enforce ti tine or imprisonment for the
violation ol tbe amendment because upon the
adoptatlon of the amendment all previous
laws were trpealed, no penalties being named
in tbe last amen, mien t, that portion being
left for the legislature to complete. Sentence
was stutpen led m these cases to allow the
judge to set k advisement, and it is understood
thst the co irt is iucllued to the opinion that
tbe point is well taken and no penalties can
be attacbeu until such time as the legislature
names tben Other judge are said V hold
tlie same vi-ws, so it looks as though the

NEEDS OF OUR NAVY.
The Svccretary Relieves the tlreat Problem
Is to t,et Some Ships tj'llrkly.
WashinutoX ClTT, Dev. 2. Secretary
Tracy, of the navy, declares iu his annual re
jmrt that even after the vessels aow author
i.ed have been completed tbe couutry will
still lie at tbe mercy of the smallest powen
no far as defense is concerned, and continues:
'The defen?? of the United States require
the creation of a fighting force. Wemusthavt
a fleet of lattle-diips that w ill beat off tht
enemy's fiWt and be able to divert an enemy's
force from our coa-t by threatening his own.
We have fostered and developed a branch of
industry in America which may, if kept up,
attract to itself no inconsiderable share of
tbe profits that now go to shipbuilders
abroad. But we must not deceive ourselves
by supfsising that we have an effective navy.
The necessity of our position demand the im
mediate creation of two fleets of battle
ships, of which eight should be assigned to
tbe Pacific and twelve to tbe Atlantic and
gulf. In addition to the battle-ships, the
country requires at least twenty vessels f jr
Cisist and harbor defense. Tbe one problem
now before the government, in the matter of
a naval policy, is to get these forty vessels
built at the earliest possible moment. It is
recommended that the construction of eight
armored vessels be authorized at tbe coming
session, and that they be of the type of bat
tle ships rather than coast defense ships.
This would make tbe future navy consist of
twenty battle, ships, twenty coast defense
ttlups and sixty cruisers, or 100 esse Is in alL '
Other Nations' Xaval Strength.
To emphasize tbe demand for more vessels
the secretary says England has Stt7 warships
or all classes. France 60. Russia ls, Ger
many lU'i, Holland M, Spain V0, Italy 88,
Turkey M, China 73, Sweden and Norway
bt, Austria 5)1. Other recommeudation for
improvement of th navy are the creation of
a naval reserve consisting of merchant ves
sels; a trained reserve of officers and seamen,
construct ion of ships at government navy
yards after addition facilitiso have been
added. To improve the yards tbe secretary
says a considerable sum may be obtained by
sale of useless stores on band. Tbe expenses
of tbe deiartnient for next year are esti
mated at t-J5,.M,53. Thede)n-tinent recota
nieuds a consolidation of the revenue marine
and its own navy, the former to be taken
bodily into the service, but maintained at a
separate cost-
WORK OF THE COMING CONGRESS.
Important Questions That Will Present
Themselves This Session lor Legislation.
Washlnotos Citt, Dec. . Congress will
assemble at noon to-day under very peculiar
Conditions. A Republican senate aud a Re
publican house will meet to transact bind
neea, which will be submitksl to a Repub
lican president for approval, and it would
aeem that w ith such perfect political har
mony there should also ls found harmony of
ideas and interests. But whether this har
mony will l present at the deliberations of
tbe t o houses remains to ta? seen. There
ere many questions to be considered w hich
cannot Is) settled on party hne. The prin
cipal topics to come before congress for dis
cussion are the tariff, tbe silver ques
tion, control of national elections
a petition to repeal tlie civil
servk-e law and the appropriation of money
formers and harbors and other local ob
jects aud enterprise. The tariff question
was the chief issue in tbe last congress. It
w ill divide interest this term with the silver
question. Tbe question of sliver coinage has
been much agitated of late months, and the
secretary of tbe treasury, it Is confidently ex
peeted, will make such recommendations to
congress as will bring the question into still
greater prominence. The effect of tbe de
liberations of tbe silver convention recently
held in St Louis will undoubtedly be felt,
and the course taken by Mr. Reed, th
speaker, in constituting the new committee
on coinage, weight, and measures, will U
watched with much interest. Mr. Leech,
the director of the mint, has expressed th
belief tliat congress will increase tbe coi nags
of silver. Tbe only doubt that exist is
whether the extreiiiitis in both bouses of con
gress will not prevent legislation by refusing
to secede to any proposition for moderau
legislation. Among tbe ideas which will bt
laid before the coming session of congress
i tbe proposition to increase tbe coin
age to $4,000,000 a month, a propesa
tion for the free coinage of ailver and
one to authorize the issue of paper money
based on silver bullion held on deposit by Um
government That there will be some modi
fication of the present law governing tbe
coinage of silver there fat little doubt, a tbe
press of the east, as well as of the west, and
bankers aad financiers in both sections art
agitating tb question now.
