Disastrous Fire.
THE MENNONITE MISSION
ENTIRELY DESTROYED
SUNDAY EVENING,
FOUR SMALL CHILDREN DIE
FROM SUFFOCATION.

end ofthe Mennonite Mission, which
is located half a mile north of the
Agency. A large number of men
gathered as quickly as possible, and
did all they could to quench the
flames, but all their efforts were of
no effect. Although but one ladder
was to be had, the fire might have
been subdued if the water had held
out. AS it was the only hope was
to save a part of the contents.
The house was a well built frame,
two and a half stories above the
basement and contained dwelling,
school room and dormitory. The
house, which was scarcely complet-
ed, cost the church about $4,000.
The fire started from defective flue.
Mr.. Haury had noticed before that
the draft was not good, the chimney
(of brick and built from the ground)
did not draw and emitted smoke
.into'the several rooms through which
it passed. 1t was his intention to
to take the hue down and rebuild it
in the spring. The fire probably
sSanrcd where the chimney passed
through the second fioor-it was not
plastered inside and the spreading
of mortar between brick was very
defective.
Four children, Carl Haury, Jennie
Morrison, Amille Hauser and Wal
ter, were put to bed in the south
west room, second floor, about seven
o'clock. The employees and larger
children then repaired to the school
room for the regular evening service.
At the close of this service Rev.
Haury discovered the fire from the
light outside. He at once rushed to
the beds of the children; he found
the light in the sitting room extin-
guished and the room full of car
bonic acid gas. The gas in the sleep
ing room was so oppressive that he
had to summon all his strength to
get to the open air withrone child.
He then called for help and at great
risk rescued the other children. His
own son, Carl, and Jennie Morrison
were dead when brought out. The
other two lived till ten o'clock Mon.
day evening. DR.. Hodge could not
leave the bedside of his wife. who
was then dangerously sick > and it
was some time before DIR. Thompson
arrived from the Post. Medical skill
was of no avail and they died as
stated above. The funeral service
was held at the Arapahoe Mission
Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Taber in
charge. The bodies, except that
of Amille Hauser, were buried at
in the cemetery north of the Agency,
Rev. Wicks having charge of the
service. Mr.. Hauser took the re-
mains of his son to Reno and buried
them in the cemetery there.
When Rev. Haury entered the
sleeping room, no fire was seen on
the inside of the building-the only
thing noticeable being the deadly
gas and very little smoke. Hence
the children were not burned, but
died from the poisonous gas. Not
withstanding the fact that the build
ing burned slowly, but few things
were saved. AS usual there was no
organization and every one worked
independently. There was but one
ladder, which rendered the work in
1.-THE upper story very slow. The sad
fate OF the children seemed to, in a
'vsras'uc,, unfit men, for recovering

A writer in the Sunday Herald says: Dis
honest butchers all over New England, and
particularly in Maine and Vermont, have been
bleeding calves by degrees, in order, as they
say, "to give "more tone" to their flesh, and,
after dressing them with extra care, the best,
and those the least likely to be detected, are
neatly packed, and, along with good meats,
shipped to Boston and other cities. A COM
munication is before the writer, evidently
from one who knows whereof he speaks, stat
ing that from one little town in Maine over
100 per week of these bob veals are known to
have been shipped during the veal season this
year. The communication also says that be-
tween 5000 and 1000 of them have been
shipped during February and March, and up
to tho date of the writing in April. The age
of the hobs varies from A days to weeks.

Mr.. Lord was born in Hollis, York county,

Few plays have ever been placed upon the
American stage which have held favor with
the public, and enjoyed longer run than has
this. One is not satisfied with one representa-
ton, but finds pleasure in witnessing its repeti-
uon. Lit is certainly one OF the strongest plays
ever presented here, and the company in whose
hands it now is, is, to say the least, powerful
one. Those comprising it, without exception,
are all artists of ability. Miss Adele Belgrade,
as The Bankers Daughter, was simply superb.
She has an excellent command over her emo
tional abilities, and knows full we'll how to
use them. She was very effective as the heart
broken wife, aud her apparent grief seemed
to be shared in, to a large extent, by her SYM

A Seven Months, Tour Of Japan.


Professor %. S. Morse, whose brilliant lect-
ures on Japan before the Lowell Institute last
winter gave SO much pleasure, proposes to start
for Japan on Monday next on a seven months
tour of observation and study. The trustees of
Peabody Academy of Science have granted
him leave of absence, and during his travels
he will collect chronological material for the
museum at Salem. He will return by way Of
China, India and Europe. A Book on house.
hold art and one on the early pottery Of Japan
will probably be among the fruits of this jour-
ney. Professor Morse is one of the most ar
dent and enterprising of our younger genera
ton of scientists. His devotion to Japan and
the Japanese amounts almost to passion, not
only on account of the material to be found
among thom for chronological and sociological
studies, but also on account OF their native re-
finement, amiable qualities and liberal and
progressive minds. His ties of interest in jap
an are strengthened by the circumstance that
it was during his stay there that he made some
valuable discoveries in regards to progressive
changes in the ancient molluscan fauna which
attracted the attention of European evolution
lists and the warm personal esteem and indorse-
ment of Charles Darwin himself.

against the piles, and, in putting his hand out
to avoid collision, the protecting member was
caught between the outrigger and pile The
back of Ross hand was torn badly, and his
rowing has since been interfered with, but he
expects to be in his boat again, as good as ever
in few days. Apart from the injury to his
