In‘our columns this morning will be
found q ballad that will brighten many eyes
that fU upan it. After almost a generation
of oblivion, it haa made itn reippiiirance,
and for the beneQt of scrap-books and the
sake of old times, we give it space again.
,f Lc*6uu” was one of the heat known of
Ihe war songs. It is simple, full of senti
ment, easily sung and al ways effective. The
bands played it along with "The Girl I Left
Behind Me" and "Down Upon the
S’wanee Hiver" on dress parades. ' ’Lorena”
was the "long suit" of the hand that used
to play in Capitol Square, Kichmond, dnr
ing tho promenade bonr, when the wealth
and beauty and gallantry of the capital
and the Confederacy were gathered there,
But it was in the camps that vLorena"
held court Usually tho first three verses
fk?»d the last were sung by *the mess soloist
at the fireside, while in profound attention
and almost every conceivable attitnde the
soldiers gathered aronnd. The lines—
A hundred months have passed, Lorena.
Since last I held thst hand in mine.
And felt thy pulse beat fast. Lorena,
Though mine beat faster far than tblne,
were always regarded an very eHeotive. lint
the reft! agony came in the last verse:
•• 'ii. da.t to dust beneath the sod:
Bui there, up there, ’tie heart to heart.'
Men who never knew they possessed a
»«,onl for mutio" sometimes* wept st this
point.
From the etandpoint of this age, there
is something almost lndiorona in tho pio-
tnres that "Lorena" must oall up to the
thousands.
The song is dead, like the bosta that heard
it sung. Its tinea, not read or heard under
the tremendous mental excitement of the
war, tho memories of sweetheart., the part*
bigs and heart-breakings, aeem cold and un
attractive. Home people will call them
silly. Bat they served their purpose, and
ring yet in the memory of old campaigners,
who have gotten to work again in the pur
suits of pcaoe, and wouldn't walk a square
to hear a Jenny Lind's warbling*.
Home day, perhaps, the stage will give ns
a sortby war drama, and from tome camp
scene beyond the footlights, a pale facod boy
in ragged gray will rise from the group
about him and in a heady voice sing again:
"Theyear, creep .lowly by Lorena."
It there are any old Confed. in the honae
at the time, they will be henrd from.

Tun World says: “Home question having
ari ieu n. to whether ths Bartholdi statue
represents Liborty Lighting the World or
Liber-y Enlightening tte World-, it is not
out of p'uc. to quote tbe artist, Bartholdi.
In a lett-r published over bis own signature
in the New York Tribune of May 31st, 1885,
M. Bartholdi says, speaking of Bedloe’a
Island: ‘Yes, in this very place shall be
raised the Htatao of Liberty, grand cs the
idea which it embodies, radiant upon the
two worlds,' This conveys the impression
that the torch of Liberty was meant to shed
its light upon two worlds—not to enlighten
the people of the earth exoept in a broad
sense. Literally the meaningof the Statue
is Liberty Lighting tho World.”

N.w York World.
Washikotox, October 21.—The task of
editing the statute, of the United State* is
f.rmed out by the State Department. The
lour provides that more that $3,fS)U a year
cannot be paid for this work. For n num
ber of year* tbe job was given to Genera!
Robert C. Hciieuok. Iio employed a young
man of tbe uamo of Bassett, who did ILe
w rk for a small percentage of the salary.
Tbe General pocketed tbe geoerous differ
c-nce for a number of years without doing
one^Mt of the work. Last year Mr. Ilijat.l
took this official plum away from him
and gave it to Mr. Bryan, Mr. B*yard’a
private secretary, who is a very competeut
and active bosiuess mam Mr. Bryan wa*
originally appointed in tbe Hta:e Depart
ment as Mr. Bayard's private secretary. He
waa.for many year, his secretary in ths
Senate The salary of the private secre
tary u *1,(MI0 a year. There haa been no
private secretary appointed since Mr. Bryan

tinues to do tbe private-secretary work.
He i* Mr. Btyanl s confidential man, and
is with him all day and a good
portion of the night. A* he does
the woik of the two position, it Is reas
onable to suppose that he has two sdaries,
unless that of tne private secretary is now
coveted into tbe United States treasury.
This will be shown when the Secretary of
State makes his estimates for current ex
penses to Congress. Mr. Bryan to-day is
the most influential man in the Department
of State. It is tbe era of the rule of prb
vote secretaries. He is as clow and inflO'
ential with Mr. Bayard a* is Colonel Lamont

Porter is e candidate for tbe Tnrkish mis
sion, and if Ur. Bryan ia anxiona to have

Then a wild stampede ensued. The pro

ing out of the buildings, many hatless and
costless, and all frightened.
After an honr’a work by tbe firemen the
flames were under comparative control.
At this tim=- aix men of the insurance
petrol were in the building. They strewed
tarpaulins over the stock of the Goodyear
Rubber Ccmp^ny. Suddenly there
was a terrible crash, followed by
a dense wave of smoke and sparks, which
puffed out into the street. The roof aod
top floor had fallen through to the base
ment, burying the men of the insnrance pa
trol in the ruins.
A minute after the crash a detachment of
firemen and insnrance patrolmen, led by
Chief Sweenie, rushed to the rescue. Tbe
cries of tbe imprisoned men could be beard
above all the din. Hardly were the men at
work chopping and tearing away tbe fallen
timbers snd splintered flooring,
when there was another
crash, and a heavy piece of machinery fell
from the third floor. It was so far back in
the building that no one was hurt, and tbe
reacaors continued manfully withont
stop.
George Purneid was the first
man out. He came up through
a hole which had been made In
the sidewalk lights over tbe basement. He
was only slightly injured.
William Darby also managed to crowd
out of the ruins with slight injuries
Tbe rescuing party found Captain
Hume pinned down under a fallen
beam, and wedged in between two boxes of
goods. He was carried out, both leg?
crush# 1 nud the left foot turned completely
aronnd.
P. L. Mnmie was dragged from under
two heavy beams. He was cut abont the
bead, and bis body was frightfully bruised.
Gus Bcocigemenke was pinned down by a
heavy piece of printing machinery so that
all efforts to release him seemed useless.
The imprisoned man clutched convulsively
at the iron bars and wheels, begging
his comrades to kill him,
they could not get him out.
The sewer of the bssement had becomo
choked up aud the immense amount of
water thrown into the btulding was rapid!
rising under Booergemenke's eye*, whil
tbe fltmee were gradually working their
way toward him. Chief Swenie ordered an
engine detached' from the fire plug and
set to work pnmping the basement of tbe
floods from tbe other engine*, whose ef
forts were redoubled against the fire. Tbe
waters had just reached Booergemmenke'a
chin, when thoy began to go down and the
flames commenced to recede. Witb Ihe sid
of javkserews the machinery wa*
at lu-<t raised, and Booergemmenke
who, (or nearly three-quartets of nu hour,
had given himself np tor lost, was carried
to the hospital One of his legs is broken,
and one arm rhattered, bat it is thought
he will live.
C. P-ippinean, aged 30, conld not be
found, ana af-er a long teurch was given
np for lost. It wan not until
eleven Louis after that hi* body was fuand.
In the recovery of tho corpse another Un
man was fatally injured, aud a patrolman
seriously wounded. Tbe fire and full of
the roof had damaged many telephone and
telegraph wire-. Gangs of linemen were
sent to the roof, adjoining to
straighten the tangled mans. They
were requested to wait till
tbe fireman' fonnd l’appioeau's body, but
tbe wire-workers did not comply.
While pulling a heavy cabin over tbe wall
a piece of jagged iron cornice was
dislodged, fell to tbe basement and
struck Fireman Michael McGovern
The sharp iron strncx him ia tbe email
of the back, and while hia companions
picked him up, policemen burned to the
roof and interrupted the linemen. While
helping to carry cut the wounded
man; William Cornell, of the insurance
patrol, fell through a hole in the broken
sidewalk and was so seriously Injuieil that
be bad to bo taken to the hospital. Mc
Govern was horribly manglod by the cor
