Mr. Itichurd Moars , the landlord and prln
clpnl proprietor of Hotel Hoyul. was aeon
ihortly alter the llro was got under control
and ho told of bis own escape and of thai of
Ills wife , and related various Incidents in

Ilowentto Iho clerk's desk at nbout 12tO : :
and ascertained that nil but four of the 111) )
rooms nnd .suites la llio houio : had been lakon.
Ho estimated that there worn about 130 to
140 people in the house all told nt that hour
Ho learned later , ho said , that the other four
rooms were lakcii bolero 1 u. m. Mr. Moars
wns very tired , having been nl Long Branch
jnd wallting nbout a great deal during the
rtay , and wtion ho retired at 1 a. m. ho foil
sloup nud slept very soundly.
'Ho wns awakened bv his wife who shook
him oxclalmlnc : "Wako upvnkoup , the
house Is ou Orel"
Ho snrnug oul ot bed nnd heard nn ominous
roaring outside the door. Ho rushed into
Iho hallway of the third floor , where bis
room was located , nnd found the- elevator
ihaft nt the end of the hall a roirlng Hue of
leaping , crackling flames. The stairwavs
wore free then , nnd rushing back ho hur
riedly throw on his trousers and waistcoat
over his nightshirt , thrust his feet into an
old pair of shoes and calling-to nls wlfo , who
had hurriedly donned a wrapper 10 follow ,
ho again left the room it.tending to go down
the stairway.
Sprviul With Frightful Itupldtty.
Although leis than n minute bad olnpsed
since Mr. Moarcs discovered the flainos ,
they had now spread until the stuirivnys
were n roinng , soothing mass. Stopping
not to count the cost , Mr. Mearos wrapped
his coat closely about him , swung over the
blistering bannisters nnd dropped to the
floor below , whence ho groped his way lo the
ofllco floor und out upou the street. Then ,
In his Imlf-diued condition , ho realized that
his wife was still in the room. Ho rushed
frantically no and down the street. No one
was in sight , overhead the flames were leap
lug from tlio elevator cupola in great sheets ,
Then a hook and ladder truck dashed up.
Engine bells clanged nnd n score of steel-
Bhoed hoofs sent reverberating echoes
through Iho deported streets.

Of a sudden the air was filled with shouts
and cries ot distress. The inmates of thu
great hostelry had awakened to a scnso of
their danger. Heads appeared at every
window quickly followed by puffs of smoiio
Bud tongues of ( lames.
Amid iho babel of voices Mr. Moars de
tected a familiar cry. Ho appealed to the
foreman of Iho ladder truck and in an instant
Hithlrty-foot ludder rested upon u window

lord scaled the ladder himself , llu found ho
bad mistaken tbo window , but ho saved a
lifo , for bo took down a halt scnsuloss , white
robed tig tire and then turned the ladder
twice over till it stood beneath his wife's
window. This time n slender young
man , n stranger , was too quick
for him , beating him to the window
by half the lenptn ot the ladder am ) Mr.
Wears had barely reached thn coping of the
front entrance when the self.constituted lifo
laver had his wife in his arms ana was mak
ing his wav painfully to the ground. Half

footing or his strength gava out for ho
propped his burden which foil to the pave

lifted the unfortunate woman and bore her
across the ottcet.

to know his business. "I'm ' the proprietor
of the hotel,11 ho replied , "anil I am looking

At this hu said the ofllcor shouted to a
lellow policeman , saying : "Horo is the

At this they laughed , nnd , despite hU

Mr. Mears says that the spoctnclo for

the most splendid possible stragotln possess

van routes converge Irom all parts of the

the countries bordering on the Gulf uf

In any event the four powers named are
eagerly alert for the possibilities 111 all new
moves In northern Africa ; nnd Morocco , , the
last remaining empire of barbarism o.t an
cient Mauritania , is doomed. The glitter
und clink of. 100,000 chasscpot'l'flles girdle it
on the east and south , l/poii-mouthed can
non complete the circle on the north and
west. Strangely enough civilization often
confronts barbarism in this way. There is
not at this moment n break in its circling im
pact. The ir.ovilable and resistless uressuro
may come before those words can Und their
place in print. It may not como before the
century is uontv But It is no Ipss inevitable.
Tumi Morocco will bo transformed , like.
Algiers , into a paradise of health and plenty ,
and beyond it , oven to the wild Soudan , the
oases of thu waterless wastes of Sahara shall
bloom aim blossom In all the glorious luxurl-
nnd of n glowing Cuban vallo.
Until then , from any standpointthis weird
old city must remain u place of the I'arcst In
terest. No one can tell its a ire. The sieges ,
pillages nud pestilences it has" withstood are
heartrending. It is the most Moorish ofull
Moorish cities. Decaying , ruinous , hoary , it
has still clung , though but twenty miles
irom Christian Europe , to Its primitive cus
toms closer than Tunis , Alexandria or Cairo.

Special to Tin ; Ui'.u.J What Is now going
on in Paris proves the truth of my repeated
assorllon , that now-u-davs popular Inlwcats
are of vastly moro tniportanco than puree
o lilies. Nobody is troubling his head here
at this moment nbout politic ! . Everyone
is thinking of the Increased cost of
living resulting from the new duties. The
theatrical lliiancial crlsU , the lllnois of M.
Uouvlcr , minister of llnauc i , events in Ger
many where even tbo government is forced
lo admit Iho progress of soclallun and whcro
thu revelations lately made regarding the
brutality of the German noncommissioned
olllcers have produced a tremendous wnvo of
popular indignation all those things are
foregone In the hubbub stlriou up by the
tariff changes ,
The Paris tradespeople nro taking ad
vantage of the increased duty on Imports and
hnvo fairly dUlracUU their customers bv
their exactions. For instance , the cafotlors
have added a sou to the prleo of every becker
or glass containing nno-olglith of n lllro of
boor they sell.
Mgm of I hit Times.
In the humbler restaurants you may road
announcements like iho following : "No In
crease In the future ; our beef steaks will
weigh only thirty grain i instead of thirty-
live. "
Yet the changes In thu tariff have hardly
affected the real price of moat at tb'.s ' place.
If you go loa tailor's ou the boulovarJ , you
will scii this sort of notice : "Owing to the
rise In the prlco of cloth , B' ) ccuttintH will bo
added to the usual prices of our trousers. "
Of course , on Inquiry , you will llndthnl thu
tailors uro still using native cloth.
So far the Pnrlsans have shown much good
humor , however , lu the face of this extortion.
But it would not bo strange if ihoy changed
their tune soon. The wluii merchants bin
zcnly announce lhat Spanish wines which
were ouco sold for " francs . " > U centimes will
henceforth cost 7 francs , )0 centimes as "the
duties have been trebled. " The real Increase
Is nbout 8 centimes a bottle , from which you
will perceive that the tradesman psks4
francs ( U centimes more than ho is 011-
tltlod to.
Two fraucshavo _ boon added to the nricc.s
of linen shirts. Yet the increase in the
duty is only 1 franc nor 2.W grams , and Ihe
hosiers nro thus only tmtltled to charge ' >
centimes or 50 centimes moro than before.
It Is the Siime Kiorynlii'rt * .
Wherever wo turn wo find iho same plate
of things. A real lucroaso of 12 centimes ou
American ham is made an excuse for raising
the prlco , r > 'J ' centimes. Tinned moats and
sausages have risen in the
same proportion , while n.utton
has not only become dear , but scarce. The
question of supply nnd donvimi to somn ox-
lent explains these now prices in the latter
case. At present about -13,000 sheep a
week are consumed. Only 18.0UO uro
killed hero and 20,000 rnoi-o are
canned up "in the slaughter house.
The new duties niudo the introduclion of
dead meat almost impossible , and the sani
tary inspection does much to check the trade
in live beasts. Only l,0s live sheep were
sold at the central market yesterday , 2,000
less than Iho average last week. All were Im
ported from Gorma'ny.
An foreign supplies have fallen off so
largely , Paris loons to the French dealers
tosupply it with quito 10.000 sheep u week ,
which is tnoro than all the rest of Franco
could produce. Hence , prices hnvogonu up ,
and are not likely to go down nguiti. Sheep
already fetch 20 francs more than thov did u
shorl lime ago. Nor have wo louched tne
highest price yet.
A rise in the cost of choice morsels of beef
may bo admissible , hut the French supply
suftlce. " for the demands of ordinary custo
mers. Germany sends us barely ( > 00 kilos of
beef a day. bwitrcrlaud contributes about
4,000 daily in the winter. In the summer the
Swiss keep their host beef for thu tourist.
Can Hut Keimlille Stiinil II ?
And remember , wo nro only ntthooulsctof
our troubles. When iho new tariff has been
in force for n few monlhs .wo shall see Iho
full meaning of iho new commercial system.
The republican government will then llml
out what the present policy has cost it , nt
homo and abroad. And if by ill-luck th next
crop should bo short , you may bo
sure lhal iho parties which nro hostile
to the republic will not bo slow to draw at
tention tu the cost of living or lo declare
that Iho republics euros nothing for the
workmgmen's Irue interests' , in this way
Ihoy may regain part of the ground they
have lost within the last two yrnrs. Mean
while the Parisians are exceedingly dlssalls-
lied , as ihoy \ ell muy bo.
