A TENEMENT HOUSE HORROR.
Twenty-Five Persons Perish In a Fire in
New York Believed to Have Been
Of Incendiary Origin.
New York, November i.-Twen
ty-one men, three women and a ten
nionths-ol babe were burned to
death or suffocated in the fire that
started early this morning in the
Houte of All Nations, a five-story
tenement house at 426 1i1th avenue.
The police and coroner believe the
fire to have been of incendiary
origin.
Some of the peculiar features of
the disaster, in addition to the
startling loss of life, are that the
fire was practically extinguished in
twenty minutes, that the police had
learned of but one person being in
jured, other than those who lost
their lives, and that the property
loss was onily S7,000. The dead
are mostly Italians.

behooves us nlot oily to rejoice
greatly because of what has been
giveni us, but to accept it with a
soleimn sense of responsibility. real
izing that un)der Heaven it rests
with us ourselves to show that we
are worthy to use aright what has
thus been entrusted to our care.
In no other place and at no other
time has the experlinent of govern
ment of the people, by the people,
for tle people, been tried on so vast
I scale as here in our own country
in the opening years of the twenti
ti celturi. V'ailure would not
only be a dre:aful thing for us, but
a (readflul tiniig for all mank ind,

we may with cleanliness, fearless
ness and w idomi do our allotted
wvork oni the earth inl suhl manner
as to show that we are not alto

God for His maniifold mercies.
In witniess whereof I have here

seal of the United States to b)e af
fixed.

KEEPING NEW YORK CLEAN.
Pavements on Leading Streets Are Scrubbe
Every Morning.
Every morning, from March tc
October or November, the pavement
ol Fifth avenue, New York, h
scrubbed until it shines as clean a
a kitchen floor. Broadway, too, it
the up-town district, is washed a
thoroughly, says Leslie's Weekly.
Every morning this task is done by
the- metropolitan department ol
street cleaning, no matter what the
weather conditions are, notwith
standing, for instance, a heavy all
night rain. This is because Nen
York wishes to appear fresh and
clean to the largest number of itt
best people, and to the hundreds 01
thousands of visitors who are daily
oi these two great thoroughfares.
It is this scrubbing every morning
that brings forth from the stranget
who comes from another city ;3
favorable comment upon the cleanli
ness of the streets.
But these two famous highway.
are not the only ones that ar(
scrubbed persistently by the streel
cleaners of New York, under Mayoi
