THE   RIVALS   IN   THE   STREET.
I.
All day in the itreet there', a jumble.
The people go hurrylni paat; Th* proua and the careieea and humble
At many a comer are masBed. And many a man in a hurry
Goea dodging the truck, and the cars, With no inclination to worry O'er the atate of affair on the ata^c— Eacb hopes to eclipK all the rest
Who are pushing and nishiDg along.  | And   the   weak   and   the   timid   are prened i
Aside by the bold and the strong
II. i
.Ml day in the ru.sh and the rattle ,
The contest continues, and ne'er !
On the Aeld of the bloodiest battle Were rivals more willing to dare Than are they that go wildly pursuing
Tbe maddening dollar all day. Each ready to work the undoing Of any who stands in the way- Each hoping to pass all the rest Who   are   pushing    and    stumbling along Where  the  weak  and   the   timid   are pressed .Aside by the bold and the strong.
III. Far away from the racket, the riot.
Two men are asleep and serene Where only the birds break the quiet That reigns o'er the flowery scene- Bat lately as rivals they hurried Where the proud and the humble con¬ tend. And each of them watched and was w-or- ried Lest the other should win in the end — Each hoped to outstrip all the rest
That galloped cr stumbled along— And the weak and the halt are still pressed
.Aside by the bold and the strong. -S. E. Kiser

PILLY SMITH has a Chicago new8pai»pr position that U neither flsh, flesh uor fowl. Ue goe.i dowu to the oflice early cvi-ry morning, reudis pupem for the city editor, answers the telephone and does bis best to stand off people who, tightly clutching the morning paper, come up thi- i-levutor to bnvi- It out. There Is no nnine for Billy's Job lu llie newspaper office, but, uamed or uainelcss. It Is a job that Is Joyless.
Billy has a brother who Is nn elec¬ trical expert In New VorU City, where lie works for the blgijest <-onceru lu the land and makes na many thou- sauds a year .is Billy makes dollars a week. The broliier is sent by bis company all over the L'uited Stntes to see about lustalllng pluuts in dif¬ ferent cities und to paK.s on llu- fruii- fnlnes.i of tbe ground for i'le;ir!iiil operations. Billy's bioUu-r pus.sid Itarough tbe city tht other day nud calling on Billy snld lie was on bis way to Omaha, when- iht-re was a lilg Ught on between his and another com¬ pany for certain municipal rights, and where the clly governuieut v,-as di¬ vided betweeu the two parties to the contest.
"I hope to win out." said tbe brother lu parting, "but there's a legal light ou as well, nnd tlw affair may take some time befoie a settlement Is reached."
Four days later, less llian liah" au hour after Billy Smith had reailiid bis desk, a slranger iippearcd and luid Ibis card before liliu:
HERBKUT M'GOVEHN, tJITY ATTUKNEY.   OMAII.A.
Billy read the iiiid aud looked up a I Ibe sirauger. "What cun I do for you?"   he  asKed.
"Well," said llie Western city official. "1 dou't kuow any better place lo eome for Infoi-iuallou than to a newspaper oflice. I did not kuow but Ihat you might have at .vour toiigue'n end the names of half a doza-ii electrical experts thnt I can call ou In order to get certain Information about the actual cost of lustalllug electrical plants and the furnlslilug of electricity to consumers. There's a low out In my town lu the city gov- erunieut Itself and between two rival electrical concerns. The mayor nud n good part of the government. Includ¬ ing myself, are with one of the com¬ paules. We believe that Ihey bave a lietter proposition tlian tbe other, which we iliink Is liyiug n sbarp game. This sinuuil nimpany ilalnis to bave some bold ou the illy be cause of an ordinance passed three years ago and we've Rot to light It. Now. If I cau get tbe opinions of some •way up' i-xperts here lu Chicago to show tbat the company which I favor bas the best proposition, why It will help secure the fi-Hnchl.>.-e for It. niiil It'a a franchise tbut In the end will be worth mllllous to llu- miupauy. Tbe concern has au expert named Smiili now in lliuaha. aud I'vi- lueu con¬ sulting with him. aud wbeu I get, the expert opinions ben- I shall conler with lilm agHlii iiu my lelurii and Und out how lust ti> use tbem lu car- rylag our case."
Billy Smith mused n nilnuie. Here waa a chance to help bis lirotber in whom he was beholden for mauy favors. "Ive been a ChUngo re porter for many years. .Mr. .Mcliov eru." he said, "aud 1 knnw personally three or four of the biggest electrical aharps lu the clly. I ilnnt mind tell log you. though It Isu'i neeessaiy In go Into ilelHlls. that I feel a peiullai Interest lu this (luialia case, and If vuu don't mlud 111 go out wiih you as soon as the city editor gets dowu auil Introduce you lu-rstinally to the meu you want to sei-. Sll dowu and read the impers for a while "
Three hours later Billy aud .\tuirni-y Metioveru were In Ihi- uHlce of a man who knows su much aliout electricity that you get a shuck every time ynu shake bauds with hliu. The great eleilrlclan wauled lu please Hilly. aud so be llsien«l carefully to wha! the aituruey had to say and theu gavi- hlni a lot of ligures.
"This is enough of itself." said .At¬ torney .McCoveru after they bad left the otBce. -lo tarry Smith's and my c«»e agalusi thai shark t-ompaiiy. '
They wcut In Ihree nUu-r ntflies aud j were  given  thre»- oiIut signed exiH-rt i stateuients.   which   .Mr.   .Mi-iJnveru  de   I i.-lare<l   illuchi il  his  cas,.   beyond   per- ' aflveniure   of   a   failure.     After   tbis | business   was   i lused   up   Billy   Siuiib. i lu  Ihe  wariiiih nf  Ills heart  nud wlih the   recolleitiou   of    many    lirnUurly favors    iu   his    luiml.    Uxik    .Aitorney I McOovern to the swelb-si Chu ago res- j taurant aud made him his guest at a ! lUDchnm  at  which  several  coatly  up- ris&: ttsisga stuod by sh,- pUii* -.   Th^u j they   went   to   a   matinee   and   Billy Smith Iniughi ibe tickets.    Ii  was the ! bappli-st colucideuee in  'he   *urbl  for • thia  newspap.-r   Uiy   that   li   was   th>- one day of Ihe wii-k when hi- lookeil j upon Ibe face of ihe taahler.

note left In Billy Smith's pay en¬ velope. He considered the money and the time well speut. however. In the effort to help out tbe case of his brother's electrical compauy against the greedy rival who was trying to grab off thlugs In Oninha. Billy bad not said one word to .McGovern nbout the reason for his Interest In the Omaha case beyond the statemeut al starting thnt he did hold such nu In¬ terest.
"(iood-by. Mr. McGovern." he said when the time fnr paHiug came. "When you get back tn Omaha you tell Kiiiert Smith wilb whom you've beeu conferring iliat a newspaper numi-sake of bis iu Chicago did what ke could for you. I ihInU very likely Smith  will  kuow  whom  you  mean."
"I'll do tbnt same." returued McGov¬ ern.    "Smith's a  mighty  gond fellow.
I Ever since he caiue from bis com¬ pany's headquarters ut New t)rlenns a    month    ago    we've    been    lu    close

I "Company's lu-adquarteis lu New Oilenusl" gasped Billy.
"Yes," said Metioveru, "that's where the company thut be works for balls from. The other, the grasping con¬ cern. Is located lu New Yurk. and, by the way. uow I think of It. they've gut a man uamed Smith ou the giound. too. He's a shrewd cuss and 1 expected to bave bard work to dowu hliu until you helped nie out to-day. Wbyl Do you know Ibis New York Smith';"

SEA   CHARTS   OF   STICKS.
The Germiiu protectorate nf the Mar¬ shall Islands, which lie just east of the Curollues. in Iho equatorial I'aclflc, contain the most daring sailors known. They arc constantly performing feats In navigation tbat Kiiropeau snllors feared to venture nu long aft'-r they had tbe compass, which Instrument, liy the way, the Marshall Islanders reject as useless.
Tho archipelago lies in two widely ¦separated groups, the Rndack and Ihe r.allik chalus. and In each chain the Islands He. fnr the most part, at ex- Ipiislvc Intervals. Yet tbe native pilots cnuduct voyages all over their own archipelago ami lo the Carolines lu oni- dlrecllou nud the Glllicrls lu au- nlhir. l'"or this voyage tbey rely upou charts of tlieir owu I'ousiiuclion. the kiiDVi-ledge liavln? been handed down from remote anti(,ully. These charts are generally alinui a yard squar;- and (;!¦,¦ cniiutiiru.leil of slender slii'ks lied iii,','i-tber. .\t some Intersections ot the slicks nre fastened small shells, which stand for the dilTerent Islands. The pilot posts lilmself In Ibe bow of Ihe vessel wilh bis chart before bim. He begins by csiablisblng the partic-- ular shell corresponding lo llie Island from which he Is Just sailing.

The car sheds In which the fire stnrted nre a group ot old wisiden barus. Tart of theui formed the old wigwam, n plan- for the great pnllil¬ cal gntberlngs of many years ago. There were eleven trolley cars In the sheds, nud Ihey filled up Ihe space sn that they Impeded the work of the flremen.
The fniuilles living In Ihe adjoining houses hnd lo flee for Ihelr lives. Tbey appeared ou the streets In their nlghl clonics. Tbey were Inken oul of Ihe bitter ulgbt by neighbors who were out of fbe range of the flre.
The sky wns fliled with Inrge sparks which wore carried for half a doxen blocks by the high wind. One of Ihese lodged iu Ihe belfry of the First Bap¬ tist Church. Tho open laltlce work allowed the wind In fau the spark Iulo a lilnxe, nnd soon tbe tall spire was a shaft of flame. This was a new cen¬ tre for Ihe distribution of sparks, two blocks aw-ay from the car sheds.
The obi City Hall, In Washington streel. was the next Inilldlng to catch flre. It burned slowly, and probably I lie libiBe would have died out but for tbe great flre that swept up to tt two bonis laler from the car sheds.
A great crowd gathered nrouud the First Baptist Church to see Ibo won¬ derful pillar ot fire. Wllhln half an hour nfter It took flre Ibe sleepio fell. Part of It struck the High School ns It fell and set Ihal building on Ure. The school wns sonn enveloped lu flames, nnd some of the flre apiiarnliis was drawn from the Arc furCjer dnwii the stn-et to Iry to save the church and the school.
A cnll was sent lo New-ark and Pas sale for nld ns soon as ll was reallr.ed Ihnt with the gale thai wns then pre¬ vailing it w-ould not be long before the entire centre section of the city would be nlilaze. Chief Baker, ot Passaic, when he learned thai more appnranises wero needed lu this i-lly Immediately dispatched McLean En¬ gine No. H. wblch w-as posted In Wash¬ ington sireet. so ns to throw a strenm at the blaze In Ibe building occupied by A. .7. Rogers, the pluiulH-r, next to the Guardinn offli-e, which was gain¬ ing great headway, having crossed over from the First Baptist Church.
It did not tnke long for Ibe flames to force Ibelr way through the rear wall of Continental Hall. In Vnu Houten stiw-t. In the rear of the car sheds, nud soon that old building wns a mass of flames from street lo roof. The hall has for several years been used as a leu-cent lodging l*ouse. and that ulgbt wns crowded with lodgers. They bad. however, long ngo made their esi-uiie. carrying out their few belongings. While Ihe flremen were si III working hard In an effort to confine the lire to the top of the building the hall of the floor suddenly gnve way and pre¬ cipitated n mass of brick nud blazing limber iulo the fancy goods store of Bishop .V Irwin and the tailor store of 1. Horwilz uext door. Here w-as u^w food for the flames, nnd In ii short time there was nothing t^X of these IWO stares nnd their coutenls.
While Ihe flames were plnylng hnvoc Willi Main street, norili side of Van llnul-n stieet. the other side had been apiiroacbed from the rear, nil of Van Hoiiieii street on that side being a rnar- 111',' fu;-iiace. and Ibc Teu Cent Slure wns the lirst In show the effect. II was tint Innj; ainiu-. however, for a few iiiinuics liili-i- Norwood's iialul sioro.

The tircinin were fnrced to abandnn llioiii inllrely. for tbey could got nowhere nonr Ihem. Ibe flnnn-s leniiiiig clenr across the streel. and lapiiiiig Ibc frnnis of Ibe bulldliigs i u
of flne bank buildings surrounding th« i'llty Hall, was one roaring furnace. At the same time a great shaft of flame was seen to shoot up in the air from Park avenue and Straight street, a distance of almost half n mile, nnd ou Ihe ntber side nf tbe KrIe track. The sparks had carrlt>d In thai (lolnt and started a new conflagrnilon. almost as Inrge ns the one down Inwn. allbough aninng linlldlngs which were not so pretentious.
Thp section above Ibe Krie Irncks Is a residential secllnn. and here fami¬ lies suffen-d more Ihan down-town. Scores of families did iint hate time lo uinve Ihelr goods and ebnltels. They sought shelter with friends whose liniues seemed to be outside Ihe rnnge of the iiinflagrallon. The flre made a clean sweep of llie block bounded by Park avenue. Straight sireet. aud Six¬ teenth avenue, almost up lo Carroll streel. It crossed Park avenue aud swept through tbe block to Ibe south and cleared nwny nil the houses Ihiongh 10 Markei streel. It trav¬ eled up Markei streel. ou both sides 111 Carroll street, and at¬ tacked St. .Inseph's Church, which Is on Ibe nnrtbenst cnrner of Market nml Carroll streets. This was the extreme eastern limit of the flre. aliout n mile from the place where It started. It traveled In n somewhat zigzag course to Ibo east, with a width of two blocks. bill Ihe lines were not clear cut.
Had It not been for Ihe meu nt the silk mills of Doherly & Wndsworlli nud tin- Wllllnm Strnnge Compnuy It il' likely that the fire would have sinead to the Sandy Hill section. \Villiam Squier. n foreman In one of liio mills, got the force pump at Po- lierly A; Wadsworlh's mill working, and Ibey extinguished root flres In both of these mills and In several ot Ihe suiioundlng houses. They could I not save the silk flnlshing mill of .\|. I frcd Crew, a short distance finiu tbr I)oliii-t.v & Wadsworth mill, bnl they kept tbe flames from sjireadlng. This was ri-nlly tbe onlv volunteer effort to Hglit the flnmes.
By -I o'clock lu the afternoon Ihe flre was under coulrol. Mnst of Ihe dwelling houses In Ihe east of the Krle Railroad which were destro.ved were valued at from $;i(HK) to $(!00(l each.
According to the general theory thi flie originated in the inr barn from electric sparks ignliing ihe roof ot Ibe barn. The feed wires, it wns said, s»»ined to cnrry the flre Inlo all partf of the building al once, causing It to blaze as If oil bad bin-n thrown upon the wooden building.
The reals of stores iu Main sireet nnd adjoining streets went up nt an niarnilug rate duriug Ihe dn.v. when people who w-ere burned oul tried to secure temiHirnry (lunrters. Bankers, lawyers, busiuess men and olhera were hurriedly trying lo flud placef to continue operations as usual, but tbey .found It n difficult task. A number ot the business men are prnctlcnlly ruined by the flre. They had Utile. If any. Insurance, and they have lost their all.
A number ot the churches. Includ Ing the Market Street Methodist, tin Paterson Genernl Hospital nnd innuy bouses were opened lo receive llu liomi-less. All tbe people In the ellj who suffered no loss nre showing In every possible »vny their sympathy for those lu distress.

The hall of judgment was not far from where the apostle* were teach¬ ing at the very lime. 'Standing." This tandiog implie* the prominent and va
'JO. "Ciiptain." The (»ptain of the tcai- ple. V. 24. This waa the commander o( the guard sUtianed chiefly in tbe tower of .\ntonia, especially during the ^rsat feasts, and it was his duty to pteserfe or¬ der and prevent any tumult. "Without violence." Not hy binding then. "Fe*Tt4 the people." All that the auoeU** did wtt in behalf of the people. They had helped thera, cured them and supplied tbeir wants and brought them new life and Mope. Popular favor is a great power. II is well to make use of it for the adraaea- ment of the gospel, but it is not wiss ta trust to it, aa it is tickle, aad it shaaSa" "!! never be sought aa an end, for tke pwaail of it is degrading.
'28. "Straitly." Strictly. "Command.'* They speak to God's servants aa though the command of the council waa the high¬ est authority that might be. The first * charge is for disobedience. Teaching in .Tesus's name was the foundation of all the trouble at hand. "Filled Jerusalem." A testimony from tho mouths of enemies ot the faithfulness of the a|H>stles in their mission, yet given to prove tiwt their evil influence had a wide effect, and stood aa a lawful charge against them. "Intend to bring." They had very daringly cried. "His blood be on us and on our children,' when they were determined that JeaiH should be put to death; yet now they con¬ sidered the apostles very much out of filacc in bringing this fact before Ihe pub¬ ic, and also of accusing them with it. "This man's blood." You intend to hold us, before the people, answerable for the blood of Jesus. If Jeaus was the Messiah, the rulers had been traitors to the nstinn. This charge stirred thera deeply. The judges take the place of culprits, and com¬ plain of being accused of murder. That the apostlea charged the Sanhedrin with the murder of ,lesus was true; that they sought to arouse insurrection was falae.
29. "Peter." In every time of teat all eyes turn to him. He seems, by his cour¬ age, ever ready to atone for his past fail¬ ures. In him the Holy Ghost nail com¬ plete control. "Other apostles." They agreed with hia statements, and gore wit¬ ness as they were called upon. "To obey fiod." We hove received our commiasian from Ciod; we dare not lay it down at tha command of men. Thia was a very wise reply. Could the council deny that Ood should be first? Peter would seem to say thnt if they opposed snd silenced them they fought against divine purpoaea. In this reply Peter exprcaaed true rcTarence and devotion to God.
30. "Ood of our fathers." Peler was as good a tlew aa Anuaa, and looked back aa aircctly to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as "the fathers," as did the old nrieat.   They
{irenched no strange God, and He who so lighly honored the patriarchs, Mosesiand tho prophets had vet more highly noB- ored Jesua Chriat. Raised up." The rea- urrectiun is again insisted upon aa a wit¬ ness to the Messishship of Jeaua. But oth¬ ers think that the term "raised up" meana merely that God had aent Jeaua into tb* i world. "Ye alew." A direct and awlal ?i chnrge of murderous gti'lt. J
.11. "Kxalted." Ily His resurrection and i ascension. "A Prince and a Saviour." Ha ,] WAS not the blasphemer they had citlled ti Him. Ho waa not guilty of disloyalty to <.| (Iod. Hia exallalion proved that. "To % give repentance." Itiouiih shamefully :i treated He walked amoug men He haa power to save and offers grace to Uia mur¬ derers.
32. "So is also the Holy Gboat." Th*. « Holy Spirit witnessed, through thei( ' works that the apoatlcs were preaching j the truth. "That obey Him." Aa it was } then bo it ia now. the Holy Ghost is given ': to Ihose who obey God.
ai. "Were cut." Knrageil. "The rea¬ sons for this were, I. Because the apoa¬ lles had disregarded their command. U, Because Ihey charged Ihem with murder, 3. Because the uttirmed the reaurrec* lion of Jesus." "Wero minded to slay Uiem" (11. V) That is, they wished to slay them. Tn get rid nf ono man's blood tln-y would tnke the lives of twelve moie.
34.   "A Pharisee."   Aa a Phariaee and a believer in  the rcHiirrectioii of the desd,       -j he may have had some symiwthy with tht       ;< disciples.    "Gamaliel."    The same Derson meutioned i i Acts 22: 3 as the teacher ol      <l SI. I'aul.    "Doctor."    Teacher nnd inter¬ preter of the Inw of Moses.    "In reputa¬ tion."   He was honored by the people.  He appears   to   have   beeu   regarded   hy   the Jews as one nf their most illustrious teach¬ ers.   He WHS a man of nu enlarged and re- lined mind.   "But the apostles forth."   He desired   that   they  be  removed  from  the room while their coses were being consid-        , ered.   Thev were recalled in v. 40.
