It will bo remembered that the do-
Htructivo lire on the evening of January
5 last in the old Itcpubltcnn building ,
almost destroyed the plnntof the Omaha
Printing company. The alert manage
ment immediately afterwards secured
temporary quarters nnd by the aid of
the other printing olllces in the city
took care of nil orders. Shortly after
wards permanent quarters were secured
at Nos. 1)18 ) nnd U20 Parnam street , in
the old Strung building , now owned by
Mr. Fred Ames of Boston. A largo
force of mcchunics were placed
nt work and the building 1ms
been arranged to meet all require
ments. A UKK reporter found the com
puny in their now quarters and was
courteously shown through the estab
lishment by Mr. A. II. C'.unstock , the
manager. The business olllco is at No.
SI20 Parnam , while at No. IMS is a llnoly
arranged and inviting stationery store.
The e nnpnny carries a largo stock of
olllco stationery and blank books , In
cluding about everything used in the
counting room of any kind of business.
By reason of buying in largo quantities
nnd an inexpensive method of conduct
ing this branch of their business they
are enabled to offer this class of goods
at price * that commands trade from all
parts of the city , as well as from the
surrounding country.
The company have also n largo trade
in legal blanks and carry the largest as
sortment of any flrm in the state. They
have on hand at all times upwards ot
500 different forms , suited to the re
quirements of county and city olllcials ,
lawyers and real estate men. Mr. Comstock -
stock stated that more attention will
hereafter be paid to the stationery and
legal blank departments than ove'r be
fore.

The establishment is fully equipped
throughout with the latest and most

bo admitted by all tbo one of the lincst

nearly a total Ins.s in this department
and nearly all the typo is now. Having
all the latent and most popular faces of
job typo will give this company a great
advantage over any other printing olllco
in the city.
Throughout the vast establishment ,
which occupies four Iloors and the base
ment , there is an nppouruneo-whieh sug
gests the great printing houses of the
east. There docs not appear to be any
thing that is necessary or desirable in a
printing house that the linn has not pro
cured. It has necessitated a largo out
lay of money to put the company in its
present condition , but the advantages
secured ought to more than re-pay the
investment.

LONDON , March 4. The sensition of the
week in and out of Parliament has been
Judge O'Brien's declaration at the Minister
assizes that not only is crime increasing rap
idly in County Clare , Ireland , but the con
viction of the criminals seems
to bo practically impossible. The
tory journals arc jubilant. The
Times and Standard say that the lawlessness
in County Clare has increased more in an
ticipation of the passage of the home rule
bill and that should Ireland get a separate
Parliament the whole island will become the
stamping ground of cut-throats and
thieves. There Is little doubt that
' "
a "small increase of crime , such ns is
likely to come with any form of political
agitation , has been apparent since the dis
cussion of the homo rule bill has been in
progress among the rural Irish. Although
this increase has no connection with the
prospect of an Irish parliament , it is likely
to be used with much effect In England ,
when the unionists , after the second reading
of the homo rule bill , will begin stumping
Great Britain in opposition to the measure.
To Increase AtiHtrht'M Army.
The rage for largo numbers among tlieehlofs
the big armies on the continent has appar
ently taken possession of Emperor Francis
Joseph of Austria , for a dispatch
from Vienna today announces that the
Austro-Hungarlan army is likely soon to
experience the introduction of n two-year
term of service. The object of the change ,
which the War department practically has
resolved to recommend , .Is to increase the
army rather than to relieve the recruits.
The added force , together with the force
to be placed at Emperor William's disposal
by the German army bill , will raise the
peace footing of the triple alliance to
l,2iOXX ( ) men , against lir : > 0,000 men in the
standing armies of Franco and Kussia. On
a war footing , moreover , the triple alliance
eventually will bo able to oppose 8 , : > 00X , ( > 0
soldiers to the same number at the disposal
of France and Kussia.
The Austrian government will abstain
from final action on the change until the set
tlement of the fate of the German army
bill , which , if it passes , is a condition pre
cedent of the introduction in the Austrian
parliament of a similar measure.
Chcilcm Cinilrrciico.
The program of the cholera conference to
bo held at Baden is still the subject of con
ference between the governments that will
bo represented. The questions to bo dis
cussed will require the presence of both
scientists and diplomats. Measures
will bo considered defining infected or sus
pected districts and persons , a quarantine
system , the disinfection of goods and pas
sengers. frontier regulations , the inspection
of railways and the navigation of rivers.
The question of international maritime
traflie will also bo discussed. The aim
of the conference will bo to adopt
lixed international methods for regulating
the treatment of passengers and ships
and to replace the arbitrary systems which
prevailed during the epidemic of 1MU. It is
not expected that the conference will main
tain harmony on all points that will conio be
fore it , as the local conditions of some states
may almost Justify their refusal to accept
the recommendations of a majority of the
delegates.
PrcmpcclH of tlio ( ierm in Army Hill.
In Berlin the prospect of passing the army
bill has brightened somewhat in consequence
of an unexpected declaration In its favor by
Baron Schorlemcr-Alst , a leader of the Ko-
man Catholics In the Keichslag. In the
German Kclehstag on Wednesday
ho a poke of the army ns the
glory and honor of Germany nnd rec
ommended that no sacrifice be spared to
strengthen It. This speech is believed to Ito
good for eight clerical votes , as Baron Schor-
lemor-Alst stands very close to the Vatican
and would not have spoken so clearly had he
not had sonic inspiration from Koine.
No practical result can bo obtained from
raising the question of bimetallism in the
Keichstag , yet Herr von Mlrbach onoo more
has made the discussion of the commerce
treaties negotiations plead the cause of
bimetallism. He said that It was not a pro
tective tariff nlono that the agrarian party
demanded. It was a settlement of the cur
rency question. Chancellor von Caprivl
llatly refused to discuss the general question.

A DRUID FUNERAL.
Striingo ItltrnVlnes ( eil on n Hilltop III
U'.lles. .
Far away s-eem the times and the rites
of the Druids ; even under the mistletoe
'at Yuletide , thoTimoof Yowling. Theirs
was ono of the most ancient and primi
tive of religions , nnd its cult Is greatly
shrouded in mystery. Yet it is not al
together dead , says the New York Tri
bune. Among the hills of Wales many
strange relics of the past remain. There
may be no "fragments of forgotten peoples
ples , " but there are legends and customs
and songs and social and religious rites
preserved unchanged from the days of
Arthur and Merlin and Taliessln. There
are probably not n few seers who , like
Cilcndower , "can summon spirits from
the vasty deep , ' ' though whether or not
they will come is yet a mooted question.
And as for the Druids , their line is yet
unbroken , and their weird rites nro still
celebrated ai of old.
The death has just occurred at LlanI
trissantof Dr. William Price , who held
the distinguished olllco of archdruid of
Wales. He was something more than ! ) . ' (
years old , and might have passed for one
of the old-timo bards who perished in
King Edward's days , so rugged and
antique was his appearance. Six or
seven years ago , it may bo remembered ,
an infant that had been born to him in
liis old age , died , and its bidy : was publicly -
licly cremated by him with Druidienl
rites. For this ho was arrested and
brought to trial. But after a hot eon-
test in court ho was acquitted , and n de
cree was pronounced from the bench
establishing the entire legality of this
form of funeral. Accordingly , when Dr.
Price himself died , a similar ceremony
was enacted without thought of inter
ference.
The ceremony took place on the sum
mit of n high hill at Cnorlnn , the very
spot whore the body of the infant had
been burned. Several hundred tlekots
were issued to the friends and former
patients of Dr. Price , entitling them to
enter the inelosuro and witness the
burning The hour first sot was noon.
But public curiosity rose to so high a
pitch that , to avoid being overwhelmed
by a mob of sightseers , it was at the last
moment decided to change it to 7 o'clock
in the morning. So in the gray light of
that early hour the strange procession
made its way to the hilltop. No mourn
ing garb was to bo seen. The closest
friends of the deceased Druid were at
tired in the ancient costumes of the
Welsh people.
The bi'dy of Dr. Price was clothed in
the Druidical robes ho had worn'in life ,
and was then placed in a collln of per
forated sheet iron. On the hilltop two
stone walls had been built , four feet
apart , each being about ten feet long
and four feet high. A number of iron
bars extending from ono to the other
formed a rude grating between them ,
some distance above the ground , and
upon these bars the collin was placed ,
the head being toward the cast and the
feet toward the west. A clergyman of
the Established church was present and
read the ordinary service for the dead
in Welsh. The vestments of the church
contrasted us strangely with the Druidi
cal garb worn by some of the attendants
as did the words of the prayor-book with
the strnngo rites. Some slight changes
were made in the service , such as the
body being "consigned to the llames. "
Then under and over and all around
the o.illln was piled a great amount of
wood , perhaps a whole cord of it , and to
this were added several tons of coal.
Many gallons of parallln oil were thrown
upon it , thoroughly saturating the entire -
tire pile. Then , at about 8 o'clock two
of the closest friends of the Into Druid
came forward from the throng and up-
plied torches to the wood , ono at each
end of the mass. In a moment it was all
n raging furnace , and the hill literally
llared like a volcano. A brisk bree/.o
was blowing , which fanned the lire and
carried the llamo and smoke far into the
heavens. For many miles the strange
spectacle was clearly seen , and thousands
of people came Hocking thither from
all parts of Glamorganshire. Seven or
eight thousand of them gathered in n
ring about the pyre , as close to it as pos
sible , nnd watched it with eager interest
all day long.
Sumo hours after dark that evening
the llames had died down and there was
only a dull glow from the coals. Then
with long hooks they drugged the collln
from the furnace , when it was discov
ered that it had been literally burned
through in many places , and when the
lid was uncovered the receptacle was
absolutely empty , without the faintest
trace within of the remains. The c illln
was subsenucntly convoyed on a bier ,
followed by an immense crowd , and de
posited on tlio couch in the deceased's
residence , whore a few days previously
lie had breathed his last.
Novel Timepiece.
The newest wrinkles in timepieces are
a watch that talks and a clock that
marks the time by the consumption of a
candle that illuminates its translucent
dial. Tlio watch , which is ingenious but
intricate , announces the hours and
quarters in a voice given it by a phonographic
graphic attachment , it i the invention
of a Swiss named Cnv > iinir Liviui. The
clock is for night use. The dial can bo
turned by hand , and before going to bed
the hand is placed opposite the hour of
retiring. As the candle burns lower
and lower it linns' the hand on the dial
mechanically , which , illuminated in the
rear by the burning light , shows the
hour until daybreak.

TRICKS OF THE FAKIRS.
How tlio Iiull.i .lii'jxior * ! > < Somu of Their
Miirvrliui * I'cuN.
"Somo of these stories that eomo to us
from India reminds me of the kila-
maroo , " said ,1. F. Ulk-y , private secre
tary of Hermann , ( he well known
magicianto a New York roiiortor. "Tho
kilaumroo was supposed to bo a crcaturo
who could sleep contentedly mi a bed of
red hot coals , quench his thirst with
prussio acid , and grow strong in an at
mosphere twenty degrees bclnw zero. I
ran uyoss one of Harnum's agents after
ho had finished an interview with the
owner of the kilumuroo. Knowing that
the agent had been after the beast , I
asked him how he had made out.
" 'Did you over see the kiliunaroo ? ' ho
asked , ignoring my question.
" 1 replied in the negative and then
the disgusted agent said to me : 'Well , I
have just seen the owner of the animal ,
and he tells me Unit he feeds the brute
on snakes , and that he requires an im-
inenso number of them duilv. When I
I asked where he got his snakes , the follow -
! low answered coolly that hi- had n
| I brother at Conny Island who had the
I delirium tromcns twice a woi-k. The
! owner of the kiliunaroo got all the
I i snakes ho required from his brother. '
"The fakir of India is a greatly over
estimated individual. He couldn't earn
' his salt in this country. The fakirs have
i i no inventive genius. They never invent
I ' new tricks. TPhoy are doing the muna
. things which their fathers
today , grand-
j I fathers and great-grandfathers did bo-
] i fore them years ago. All their skill
1 lies in then- quickness , the rapidity ot
their movements , which confuse the
vision. "
"Will you illustrate ? ' '
"Let me see , " and Mr. Riley rubbed
his high forehead rollectivoly. "Tako
the snake trick. The juggler of India-
will appear on a plnxn before a hotel ,
wearing nothing but a breech clout.
Then ho will take a snake something-
like our Mexican bull snake , and place
it in a cloth. The snake will become
rigid when covered in this cloth , which
is shaken with almost incredible rapid
ity by the fakir. Finally the fakir
gives the cloth a quick Ilirt and the
snake disappears.
"The empty piece of cloth remains ,
and , as tho. man is almost naked and per
forms in the open air , within reach of no
one , the disappearance seems marvelous.
Now where do you suppose the sunko
' " '
goes' :
"Inside of the kilumn "
"Tho snake is trained , and while the
cloth is being shaken with almost in
credible rapidity , ho jumps into an openIng -
Ing in the fakir's breech clout , " broke in
Air. Kiloy hastily ; then he' added , loia-
urely : "It's clever but not marvelous.
You see the snake is a trained snake. "
The Indian basket trick Mr. Riley dis
missed somewhat contemptuously. Said
ho : "Eastern travelers wore accus
tomed for many years to write of the
basket trick as if it were a miracle.
They would tell you they saw a fakir
place a boy in n big wicker basket , cover
the top , and then thrust a sword through
the side of tlio basket. A scream from
tlio boy would horrify the spectators , and
then the fakir would show that the
blade of his sword was covered with
blood. The spectators would find tlio
basket empty on looking into it , and
a moment later the boy supposed to have
been murdered in the basket would
bound into the ring from behind the
spectators. A perfectly easy trick ,
which Prof. Hermann has performed
numberless times. "
"How ? "
"Tho basket has a false bottom , in
which the boy who enters quicky con
ceals himself. TJio boy who nppeara
while the basket is examined is u boy
almost the exact counterpart of the
youngster in the basket. "

The Vlnw Iroin llio Moon.
"If you could stand on the moon , "
says an astronomer , "the earth would
appear to yon to bo sixty-four timoa
larger than the sun appears 10 tno resi
dents of this mundane sphere ; this because -
cause the earth ims eight times tno ui-
amotor of the moon , therefore she must
necessarily show the moonltes sixty-four
times as much surface as the moon shown
us. The sun , on the other hand , would
appear no In-gor to you from your ob
servatory on the moon than it docs from
our globe. The earth's ntmosphora
being blue it has been decided that the
car til must appear as a blue ball to all
outside onlookers. What a glorious
sight it must be to our lunarian neigh
bors to look upon a bright blue , mvift-
revolving ball sixty-four times larger
than the sun ! "
Kuropcans living in the east soon become
acquainted with the slender Iron ucdstends
with tall iron rods , designed to support the
mosquito netting , which seldom really
answeis Its purpose.
