Just how thla la accorapliahed la interest Ingly told In a story from the Geol ogical sanrey; Teats to determine the strength ^ and ftre resistance of building ma- tariala are now made by the United '"Itates Geological Borvey, and, al though these tests are designed pri marily to meet the needs of the Gov- ernment as ths largest consumer, fhtlr results are also available tor general uses. The results already obtained show that cheaper fireproof materials can be need and that the difference in cost between fireproof and Inflshama hie buildings will soon become so ' small that it will cease to encourage 'filmsy* construction. They Indicate that three to six times the necessary amount of material Is habitually used In structure work. They also show the necessity of bettor building codes in cities and especially of a better enforcement of the codes already enacted If the present enormous fire losses are to be diminished. The contrast between the small losses by fire to Government build ings and the Immense losses report- «d from the country as a whole led the geological survey to make an In qulry as to the fire losses in the United States and as to their exact cost to ths people. The results of this inquiry are presented In the Barvey’s Bulletin 418, just published which can be obtained free by ap plying to ths director of the survey at Washington. The report Is en titled “The fire tax and waste of Structural materials la the United Btates," and was prepared by H. M Wilson and J. L. Cochrane, of the survey. Theinqnlry covered not only the value of ths property destroyed by fire, but also the cost of main talnlng fire departments, the amount •f insurance premiums paid less the amounts returned, ths cost of pro tectlve agencies, the additional cost water supplies, and other elements fire loss. investigation disclosed the fact 't ths total cost of fires In the Slates in 1907, excluding that Of forest fires sad the marine losses bat including excess cost of fire pro- POPE’S MURDER MYSTERY BRAY OF AN ASS afraid of barman DECLINES TO RECEIVE FORMER • VICE-PRESIDENT BODY BURIED UNDER FLOOR OF OF A TENEMENT. f * teotlon due to bad construction and excess premiums over Insurance paid, amounted to over $486,485,000, a tax on the people exceeding the total value of the gold, silver, copper and petroleum produced In the United States in that year. Ths cost of building construction la 1907 in forty-nine leading cities of the United States reporting a total population of less than 18,000,000 amounted to $661,076,286, and the eoat of building construction for the ontlrs country In the same year Is oonaervatlrely estimated at $1,000,- fidO.fifiO. v Thus It will be seen that aadrly one-half the value of all the now buildings constructed within one year is destroyed by fire. The an- nual firs cost is greatar »r Maine, West irolina. North Da- s, Alabama, Loult- . In addition to this eslth and natural resour- ersons were killed and 5,- Injured In fires in the States In 1907. The direct loss by fires In this osuntry is eight times as much per pits as In any country in Europe, actual fire loss ill the United 8tate due to the destruction of build ings' and their contents amounted to $818 ,084,709, a per capita loss of $2.81. The per capita loss In the of the six leading European 'countries amounted to but 33 cents. Comparisons of the total cost of fires, which includes the items already Mated, ahow that if buildings in the Stetes were as nearly fire proof ss those In Europe the annual firs cost would be $90,000,000 in- ^ of 8456.000.000. . The rafcort states the method offfasesr gathering the statistics collected, makes An analysis of the fire loss in City and country and on frame and brlek buildings, and contains tables skewing the Increased cost of fire protection due to faulty construc tion. The predominance of frame buildings is set down as the most Important cause of the great fire Because He Had Accepted Invitation to Speak In the Methodist Church at Rome. The visit to Rome of Charles W. Fairbanks, former Vice-President of the United States, brought, about a very delicate situation owinig to the fact that he wished to pay Ms re spects to the king, the Pope and ttjt* American Methodist Church. Inci dents of this kind are not Infrequent, and extreme care has been exercised by those upon whom the arrangement of the audience falls. In order to avoid offending the susceptibilities on eLthej* side. By a tactful arrangement Mr. Fairbanks’ audience with King Vic tor Emmanuel was fixed for Saturday and that with the Pope for Monday, and when everything seemed satls- afctorlly planned, the vatlca.i sud denly announced that It would bf Impossible for His Holiness to recelv4 the former Vice-President If he car ried out his announced Intention to. speak In the American Methodist church, because the American Meth odists had been active In proselyting among the Catholics. Negotiations were Immediately be gun wth a view of avoiding any un pleasantness, and in these* negotia tions prominent vattcan officials took part. Mr. Fairbanks finally declared that although he wag animated by a strong desire to pay his respects to the head of the Catholic Church, he mould not withdraw from his prom ise to deliver an address before.the American Methodist Church. Monalgnor Kennedy, rector of the American college, gave a dinner at noon tn honor of Mr. Fairbanks. The hall was decorated with American flags. Among those present were 144 American students, the largest body of Americans that has ever attended the Institution. At the American Methodist Church Mr. Fairbanks’ address acquired ex ceptional Importance because of the Incident with the Vatican, and It Is looked upon as his final answer to the conditions Imposed upon him rel ative to his audience with the Pope. During the course of this address, he said: "It is Impossible to emphasise too strongly the good work the Christian church is doing In all lands and amongst all nationalities. It Is grat ifying that the American churches established In all countries are as serting a wider influence today than ever In their history. "All Christian churches are worthy of support. They above all should be Inspired by a generous tolerant spirit towards each other. Nothing Is more unseemly than the narrow Jealousies which they occasionally manifest to ward each other. There Is room for all. Cease the narrow denominational wars and direct your energies toward the common enemy. Let the Cath ollca and the Protestants of all de nominations vie In carrying forwari the work of the Master, which Is worthy of the best In them all.” THE DEADLY KEROSENE.

Woman Plunges to Her Death Over the Great Falls. Miss Beatrice R. Snyder of Buffalo committed suicide Tuesday by wad ing Into the river Just above Pros pect Point and going over Niagara Falls. As her body swept over tht brink of the cataract she turned her face toward her would-be rescuers and smiled a farewell to them. Without a moment’s hesitation Miss Snyder waded Into the stream She turned once and smiled towards the men who were calling to her to stop and continued to move rapid ly Into deep water.

Sunday night while the Rev. Wm. McDonald of the colored Baptist church, of Waxham, North Carolina, was on his knees engaged in prayer in front of the pulpit of his churcl^ surrounded by his con* ion. He Protests in Vain Against the Res olution to Lend Government Tents for Use at Alabama Confederate Veterans’ Reunion—All Other .Sen ators Voted for the Resolution. Protesting against loaning Govern ment tents for the use of the Confed erate Veterans at their annual re union In Mobile, Ala., next April, Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, In the Senate late Monday night, made the sharpest comment upon the issues of the civil war that has been hoard In Congress In twenty years. He inveighed against men In “reb el” uniform being permitted to oc cupy government property, or the “rebel” flag being allowed to float above It. Finally he drifted into the question of honoring men by placing .Iheir statues in the Congressional hall of fame, and by unmistakaTfier inference condemned the action of Virginia in sending the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee to Washington. “Take It away and worship it If you please,” he thundered, “but do not inrude it upon the people Who do not want It.” Democratic Senators moved uncasi yl about the floor, conversing with each other or sat frowning and anger ed. Finally when Senator Heyburn had concluded. Senator Bankhead said: “1 am sure the Senator from Idaho feels much better, and I ask for a vote.” “By roll call,” shouted a dozen or more Senators, and hands went up In a second to that request from ev ery part of the Senate chambers. When the vote was held on the tent loaning measure all of the Dem ocrats and all of the Republicans, ex cept Mr. Heyburn, voted for It. His negative vote was uttered in a loud and defiant tone. This measure was reached near the close of the session. Mr. Heyburn was prompt to raise an objection, and Mr. Bankhead Just as alert in moving the consideration, regardless of the ob jection. It Immediately was evident thf^t the objection roused some feel ing, for with a flushed face and ani mated voice, Mj. Bailey declared that If this measure was to be ruled out of order no other business could be transacted. The Bankhead motion being unde- bateable, the Senate immediately pro ceeded to an aye and nay vote on the question as to whether the resolu tion should be taken up, and it was adopted unanimously, Mr. Heyburn himself refraining from voting. With the t^solutton adopted, Mr. Heyburn took the floor, made a speech In which he went over many of the Issues of the war and declared himself as much a patriot now as he had been In 1862-1863-1864. The Southern Senators held a hur ried consultation, while the Idaho Senator was proceeding and decided to make no reply. * It chanced that Mr. Heyburn’s col league, Senator Borah, of Idaho, was the first of the Republicans to be reached In the roll-call. He voted in favor of the adoption of the resolu tion. Never before, perhaps, has the Senate listened to a more impassioned plea from a member of that pouy Starling his remarks by declaring that he spoke only with the best in- ■^enTians, that he harbored malice to ward none, and that whatever con struction might be placed upon his Will Become Hoad of Ohio Republi can State Executive Committee and Head Coming Campaign. ( After several conferences at the White House Monday Wade H. El lis of Ohio resigned his position as assistant to the attorney general In the department of justice to accept .the chairmanship of the Republican executive committee of Ohio and to assume charge of the Ohio campaign this fall. Regarding the resignation of Mr. Ellis, the following statement was given out at the White House late Monday: "Mr. Ybrys, the member of the national committee from Ohio; Wal ter Brown, the ehaitman pf the Re publican State central committee, and Henry A. Williams, chairman of the State executive committee, have been among the Republicans of Ohio to determine who should succeed Mr. Williams upon the resigna tion which he is obliged to tender. “After a visit to Washington”Snd full ^conference with the senators, the conclusion was reached that the man best qualified to assume the cares of the office as chairman of the execu tive committee at this time was Mr Ellis, and therefore the president was applied to to consent to Mr. Ellis’ resignation from his position as as sistant to the attorney general to take the duties of the chairmanship of the committee. “The president was very loath to lose the services of Mr. Ellis from the department of Justice where he is engaged in important work, but as Mr. Ellis was willing to make the sacrifice, the president did not feel that he could insist on retaining him.” The Ohio political situation has been giving the president much con cern and has been the subject of a number of conferences at the white house during the past few weeks With the expected renomination of Gov. .larman, the Republican party- faces a hard fight this fall, and the president has been anxious that fac tional trouble should be eliminated as much as possible. He believes that Mr. Ellis will be able to do more to secure this result than any one else who could have been deslg nated to take charge of the coming campaign. Mr. Ellis has been known as one of the famous “trust busters” of the administration and at the present rime was engaged in much Important work. Senators Burton and Dick of Oh.o had a long conference with the pres ident Monday morning. Later in the day Senator Dick returned to th White House, accompanied by Mr Ellis and Walter Brown. It was fol lowing their visit that Mr. Ellis an nounced his resignation and th statement above was given out. It was stated at the White Hotist Monday night that Mr. Ellis, despit his resignation, will continue to re present the government in its prose cution of the "l>e*f trust.” wing then Eleven Miners Killed.

C., on Sunday morn ing. When he arrived in Chapanoke he said that he was 60 years old and had worked his way from No foui county, where he had escaped from the county home and was bound for Edenton, where he had a daughter residing. About II o’clock he was directed to a vacant tenement house where he was told he could spend the night and some sympathizers started a fire for his comfort. About two o'clock the neighborhood was alarmed by screams for help and citizens rushing out found the old man wrapi>ed in flames. Blankets were thrown around him and medical aid summoned, but his con til. ju was beyond human aid. He lived, however, in terrible agony until 11 o'clock next night. The old man's remains were taken in charge by the Perquimans authorities and bur ied. CLASSIFIED COLUMN' This Cures All Diseases—Send for free box. Prof. Wm. Dulin, N* braska City, Neb.

Asking if the men of the present day were less patriotic than those of the 60’s, and paying a glowing tri bute to the memory of the G. A. R. men, Senator Heyburn passed on to the matter of Lee’s having left the United States Military Academy to take up the cause of the South. He declared that the statue placed 'n the Capitol by the State of Virginia should never have been there, and again thundered and hissed at the thought of such a thing. He talked along this line for almost an hour, frequently using the name of the Deity to emphasize his words, and at the expiration of his time asked for a vote. No one objected.
