E. H. CRESSY,
Wallace BJo#?,
Last Saturday morning occured at
that thriving city the greatest oonfla*
gration of its history, Seventeen
b|Qck§ wer-e laid in ruins! Two hundred and fifty houses In ashes! Over
half a million dollars'worth of property
snuffed out In less than six hours! The
city in mourning over her loss which
is said to be over §500,000, of which
there is less than §200,000 insurance.
The county court house being Oneof the
doomed building, was said to have gone
down like a roaring furnace, the cost
of said building being §50,000, with only
§27,500 insurance on same. The fire
originated in an old barn, the flames,
rapidly spreading and in a shQpt time a
certain section of the business portion
of the city was beyond the power and
control of the.fire company, and thus
it spread consuming buildings and
blocks until it reached a habitation of
dwellings, 'and not until within two
doors Of Prof. F. j. Hendershot's duelling, was it checked. , "gel^ef corps have
beefi" for pied, and the homeless an d needy
are being cared for.
The "Future of Warfare," discussed
by Capt. E. L. Zalinski, United States
army, in the last number of the North
American Seview, affords interesting
matter for the members of the "peace
at any price" party.
Capt Zalinski says: "No one appliance or invention, however destructive, can do more than modify existing
methods, or add a new factor to the
war problem. * » * The human
race must be greatly modified before
it abandons war, either through fear
of consequences or from higher motives than those of expediency. But
the improvements in war appliances,
while not rendering wars impossible,
tend to shorten them. The great de-
structiveness of these appliances, although making greater loss of life possible in a given period of time, reduces
materially the aggregate of losses and
suffering. Thislast is not confined to
the combatants, but extends to the
non-combatants, whose suffering from
sympathy and actual deprivation is as
poignant and real as of those actively
engaged. Paradoxical as it may seem,
the fiendish possibilities of destruction
which the newest weapons of war open
lend themselves to the amelioration of
human suffering."
No clearer illustration of the shortening of war can be bad than Capt.
Zalinski's reference to the mobilization
of the German troops in the respective
campaigns of 1806, 1866 and 1870. In
1806 the Germans mobilized and concentrated 145,000 men a few marches
from the center of the state, in forty-
five days. In 1866 ah, army twice the
former in number was mobilized and
concentrated on the frontier in thirteen
days. In 1870 500,000 men were mobilized in eight days, and in eight days
more 450,000 men were concentrated
on the extreme-frontier, much farther
from the center of the state than in
1866. In each instance war was shortened by just the number of days that
one force was mobilized earlier than
another.
Capt. Zalinski expresses amazement
at the rearming of cavalry with the
lance, and does not hesitate to express
his preference for the revolver.
Take   Luncheons  in  Their  Offices.
The cause which has led to the abandonment of Delmonico's in the dry
goods district is found in the entire
change which has come over the habits
of down-town men during the last five
years. The tendency lo shorten business hours and compress the day's
work into as short a time as possible
has resulted in a general increase of
haste down-town. Very few business
men are to be found in their offices below CanaL street after 4:30, and in order to get through early the majority
of them have their luucheous brought
into their offices. In the big companies the members of the firm aud one or
two of the more important clerks have
a mess after the military fashion at
12:30. and in nearly all of the big office
buildings the janitors furnish light
luncheons to the tenants. The old-
time broker or merchant who always
spent an hour and a half over his
luncheon and frequently included a
bottle" of champagne in the order has
been pushed to the wall by the more
active and self-denying men who only
stop long enough to munch a sandwich
and then get back at once into the
thick of affairs. Nearly all the more
pretentious down town restaurants have
been driven out of Business by this
change in the habits of New York business men.—N. T. Sun.
