PERISHED IN A TRAP. The Office of the Minneapolis I "Tribune'" Burned. HKa Number of Persons Meet a SudHBT flftn and Terrible Death. The office of the Minneapolis Tribune, has been burned. Tha fire was started in a law office on the third floor of the building about 10:30 p. M. The flames did their work with appalling speed. When this report was written the bodies of seven men had been identified, and it was the belief that from twenty to twenty-five persons had lost their lives. 1'he names of those known to be dead are as foli lows: Igoe, James F.. night operator for the Associated Press. He was killed by a fall in j attomptinj; to escape from the building: Jenkinson, "Jerry," a printer, fell with Igoe, and was dead when picked up; Miles, Walter E., night agent of the Associated Press, was killed by a fall; Millman, W. H., the commercial editor of the Minneapolis Tribune, ? fell from the seventh story, and was instanti Jy killed; McCutcheon, Robert, a printer, jumped to a ladder, but missed his hold; 01sen, Edward, President of the University of South Dakota, was knocked off the fire- sscape. He died soon afterward; Pickett, Milton,the assistant city editor of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, fell and was killed. The elevator man noticed the smell of :} smoke and called the attention of some of the persons in the building to it. The cry of fire was raised, and several persons went downstairs from the seventh story to investigate p' the matter, and then returned to work. Be* * ? ?11 vmn* Liore long sanose uegun iu mi mc stairway, the only one in the building, and everybody began to make leisurely preparations to depart. So immediate danger was fear&l, although the only exits from the bujjfcling, which was supposed to bo fireproof, wefe a narrow staircase wide enough for two persons to come down abreast, the flevator and a single escape at the north end of the structure. Several persons had made their escape in the meantime, but in less than ten minutes the flames reached the elevator shaft, and blazed up to the top story, and the editorial rooms on the same side of the building where the fire originated were soon a mass of flames. In a few minutes the fire invaded the other side, where the composing room was situated. A general alarm was turned in. and all the engines in the city responded to the call. The imprisoned printers gathered at the windows in the south end and shrieked wildly and despairingly for aid. The long ladder seemed to move up at a snail's pace, but was finally in position, and the terrified men began to descend, the flames making steady encroachments upon the corner into which they had been driven. Life-nets were brought into use, and some were saved by this means. The firemen were badly hampered by the network of telephone wires. The fire was a fierce one while it lasted, and it was due to the effective work of the Fire Department that the flames were kept from rereading to the frame buildings near by. Several times there have been small fires in the building, but they were quickly extinguished, so that less heed was paid, to the alarm than would have been usually the case. The sight of the sufferings of the burning, struggling men Drought tears to tne eyes 01 the bravest, and women prayed and strong men breathlessly watched James F. Igoe's I brave attempt to escape. He had got clear of the building and was gradually working his way along the wires to safety, while thi people below anxiously and" helplessly watched his brave attempt to sav< to his wife and four little ones their bread-winner. But the wires cut and his strength failed, and a groaE .went up from the upturned faces far below him when he was seen to slip from his slight support and fall to the roof of the boilei louse, where he received fatal injuries. Met lifted him gently and started with him to a drug store; but on the way, after" a last word of loving care for his family, h? breathed his last. The last man of the Tribune editorial staff .to leav? the building was Charles Alt jJJViiliams, the managing editor, and Although himself badly burned about the bead and hands, he gave the following statement of how each of those above reported met with his death, having been an eye-witness of the deaths of all save one. Walter E. Miles and W. H. Millman, with ? number of printers, started down the fire escape. A blast of hot smoke and flame struck Millman as he was starting, and he Jost his hold, and in falling knocked Miles off, both falling from the seventh floor to the ground, and at the six floor knocked off Milnn/1 Prnfoccnr P^tror/1 Hlaon i?ho had reachcd the lire escape from that <loor. The four men in falling stnick against the lowest platform and bounded away from the building, and were dead when they struck Jhe ground. When Williams started down the ladder the fire was burning his hair and (neck, and he narrowly escaped the fate of those who had preceded him, the heat and smoke being overpowering. The printers on the ladder oscapea with slight burns. James > P. Igoe and "Jerry" Jenkinson sought to escape by the wires,'but had been weakened by the smoke and flame so that both soon fell off, striking on the roof of tho Tribune boiler-room. Jenkinson was dead when picked up. Robert McCutcheon jumped from the window-ledge for the extension-ladder, but his hands slipped,and he fell to the pavement. A net had been stretched to catch him, but he was too heavv for it. and. striking the ground, was so seriously injured th&& he died soon after. Pickett, Igoe, Miles an? McCutcheon were married men, and Jenkinson was to have been married in a short time. Millman lost his wife by asphyxiation a couple of weeks ago, and had just returned to work. No attempt to recover any of the bodies was made that mght, but in the morning, when tho ruins had cooled off, work was be I gun and pushed vigorously. WHAT WINDOM WANTS. Suggestions of the Secretary of the Treasury in His Keport. The Secretary of the Treasury in his anLnual report recommends the repeal of the tax |ii tobacco, which will reduce the surplus Jabout $32,000,000, and on alcohol used in the arts, about So,500,000. No special plan for the reduction of customs duties is recommended. He urges the repeal of the compul-6orv feature of the present Coinage act, and [ cbmnifends the issue of Treasury notes Hfainst deposits of silver bullion at the ^riarket price of silver when deposited, payable on de; \nd in such quantities of silver bullion as will equal in value, at the date of presentation, the number of dollars expressed j?u the lace of the notes at the market price vf silver, or in gold, at the option of the Government; or in silver dollars, at the option of the holder. It would seem, he says, that one of the effective means of preventing the immigration i of the prohibited classes would be to require all immigrants before embarkation to obtain certificates of character and fitness from our Consular offices abroad, under regulations to ,be prescribed by,the Secretary of State. He thinks the Alien Contract Labor law 1-bas partially Hailed of its purpose because of .certain inherent defects and the impraeticabi'ity of its administration in some of its features that caJB for admendnsent.

Pretty soon he said: "George Francis Train is kicking up a good deal of a row over in England; do you think they will put him in a bastile?" ' Train? Train?

This ignorance kept the man quiet for fifteen minutes; then lie said: "What do you think about General Grunt's chances for the Presidency?" Do you think they will run him?'' "Graut? Grant?

The probabilities of Labrador's becoming a summer resort are not great, I .though the few travelers who do reach its^ inhospitabfe coasTsT-epailluiich of interest to be fouud. I met one oF^tTieSis John L. McNaughton, of Chicago, lastj night. He is just returning from a three i months' trip through Labrador and the J island of Anticosti, which he says is the most Providence-forsakcn place he ever found. "The island," he said, "is constantly 1 .1 I ? e l.? cinlrun CUVeiUJJCU UJr cutuvwi UJ rocks aud furious currents, and swept by high winds. I was told at Halifax, by shipping men, that in the last ten years upward of a hundred ships had gone down off the treacherous shores of Anticosti. and that fully three thousand lives had been lost there in that time. The Canadians tried to settle it once, but failed, and now the island is practically uninhabited, save by a few hunters and travelers. "But to my mind," he continued, "it is far better than Labrador, where the natives are forced to hibernate for about eight months each year. During that time the Labradorian lives almost entirely on the inside of his rough board hovel, with the winds blowing ahurricane about him. Their dogs, their principal property, live in an open cellar underneath the family living rooms, and fight and howl and raise pandemonium generally. Without their dogs the natives would be in a bad way, for they have no roads in Labrador. Not a mile of made road exists in their whole 3000 miles of coast. But they get along right well with their sleds and dogs. I have been told that they can make ninety to a hundred miles a day with the dogs, but that is from ten to twenty miles better than my experience. The dogs arc a quarrelsome, vicious lot of animals when with each other, aud two packs meeting in harness is the signal for a fight, in which the drivers generally engage with whips and curses, and if any women are along, their screams add a picturesque variety to the scene, I can assure you. Summer opens June 1, when the ice breaks up, and then the natives commence their harvest.

It is a dreary life, but they know 110 other and I doubt if they would be contented away from their rocks and hurricanes and mackerel nets. I found them a kindly, hospitable people, as simple as children about the ways of the world.''?New York Star. The Struggle of Sea and Laud. We stand on a bluff at the seashore. The surf is undermining it. That deep cutting into the bank is its work. An overhanging mass of earth is thrown down aiul becomes the toy of the waves, which reduces it to gravel. This in its turn becomes ammunition to be hurled against the shore. Wherever this process is going on, the laud falls back before the advancing sea, and considerable results are evident in a short time. The Island of Heligoland has been reduced, within a thousand years, from a consider* 1 _ 1 ?.i .. ? ?1. nrv.? aOIC IfSlUUU lu il iuciv iutiv. iuv. nuuig.of rocky islands along many coasts are remnants of destroyed siioreland. Thus the land yields with hardly a struggle tr. the supremacy of the sea. Loose alluvial terrains give way in a body. The Zuydei Zee no came into being five hundred years ago, and Holland, part of which is | below the J eve! of the s;*a, would hav< been likewise overflown if it had uol been defended by artificial dikes. Subsidences of ground have also been some times observed during earthquakes. In other places the sea gives way. Risers carry out masses of detritus am deposit them along the shores, causing the land to advance.

The PLnnnnreulical J^urnnl points out that for Killing rats, micfc and other small animals, the more N<Jangerous poisons, such as arsenic, strychnine, etc., are not at all necessary. A comparatively inert substance, sulphate of barium, is au active poison to such creatures?although^ its precise action is difficult to explain, seeing that it is extremely insoluble. Powdered and mixed with lard or fat, it is readily partaken of by small animals, and will soon destroy them. NUTMEGS AS A MEDICINE. The medicinal qualities of nutmegs are worth a great deal of attention. They nre fragrant in odor, warm and grateful to the taste and possess decided sedative, nstringent and soporific properties. In fl.o fnllrttririrr n flVftinnfi tllCV will be fOUnd highly serviceable: Gastralnia (neuralgia of the stomach), cholera morbus, flatulent cholic, dysentery, cholera infantum and infantile cholic. In all cases nutmegs may be prepared for administration in the following manner: Grate one or more nutmegs into a very fine powder. For children, give one-sixth to one-third of a teaspoonful, according to the age, of this powder, mixed with a small quantity of milk. For adults, from a half to two teaspoonfuls majr be given in the same way accordiug to the severity of the case. Every two hours is generally the best time to administer this remedy, j Insomnia (sleeplessness) is very often I effectually relieved by odu or two doses of ^nutmeg, when much stronger agents have signally failed.? Courier Journal. BROILED MEATS. It is to be regretted that under various pretexts the frying-pan still continues to be the favorite cooking utensil in American kitchens. A piece of meat had almost as well be thrown away as put in a frying-pan of fat. Gradually people are 1 mnvo infollirrflit. methods of I ICUXUIU^ liiuiV/ __ cookery, but the change is so slow that it is discouraging to any one who knows how much health and life is daily and hourly sacrificed to barbaric methods of cookery. There is no way of cooking meats so simple and at once so perfect as broiling. The secret of success lies in first searing trrer the meat on the outI side, so as to retain the juices, and afterI ward finishing the cooking at less intense heat. To accomplish this the meat should be well seasoned, slightly dusted with flour, and placed neftr bright coals, then almost constantly turned and cooked on the other side." After this is done the gridiron should be lifted up from the fire and the meat cooked about three or four inchcs from the coals. It should be lifted up and turned whenever there is any disposition to "blaze up" from fat or [ juices dropping in the fire. Beforo putting the meat over to cook all j*cfa!ITp f5-sShould be opeued, so as to alI low any smolorfogm blazing fat to pass up I the chimney. Agoor?74fci?k beefsteak j will usually take about twelve | cook properly through, and yet have the meat red-rare witliiu. A mutton chop should be cut thick and trimmed of all fat. It will usually take about ten minutes to cook such a chop. Lamb chops should be well done, but are cut thinner and should be cooked about the same time as the mutton chops. Ham should be broiled to show bits of brown over the slices, but never crisp. A slice of calf's liver is one of the most delicious meats broiled. Dip it in melted butter, season and dust it with flour and broil it over clear coals, and serve it with maitrc d'hotel butter.?New York Tribune.\ RECIPES* Fried Tripe?Cut one pound of boiled trips in small pieces: put a half cup of butter, one cup of vinegar and one onion minced into a frying-pan; when the onion turns yellow put in the tripe; season and cook ten minutes; serve on buttprpfl toast.

Major Sidney Herbert, a well-known journalist in agricultural circles, writes Apri. 18th, 1889: Some live years ago I wrote a letter stating that Swift's Specific had cured me of severe rheumatism. Since that time 1 have had no return of the rheumatic troubles, althongh frequently exposed to the influences that produced former attacks. Several of my friends had a similar experience, and are firm in their conviction that S. S. S. brought a permanent cure. The searching power of this medicine is shown in the fact that it developed a scrofulous taint that was conspicuous in my blood over thirty years ago. and T tnarnrl nas removed tnc jbpi irucc ui u. * ....?
