TWO SMALL FIRES

glnes Last Night.

An incipient blaze at the Cochran saw
mill, near the upper edge Of the old navy
yard, did about $40 worth of damage be,
fore II was quenched, and caused the fire.
men to have a run a little after o'clock.
A small FIRE occurred at l o'clock this
morning at WINS saddle store on Main
street, South Of Union street The pri-
vate Waterman employed by number Of
merchants on Union street, saw the smoke
within, and ran up TO the Babcock engine
house on the corner Of Front and Union
and gave the alarm. The extinguisher
was run down TO the store, the door was
smashed in and the flames were put out,
with damage amounting perhaps to IS, or
Whereabouts. About the time II was all
quenched, an alarm was sent from the
Peabody for the department TO turn out,
but their run was all for nothing, US the
Babcock had done its work in good shape
A curtain caught fire at the St Peter s
Bazaar last night, and .created quite an
alarm within before ii was put out The
strangest thing about ii was that nearly
every young lady in the room, and there
was host OF them, rushed right up and
clustered around the blaze. None Of the
fairy's had their wings scorched, and the
damage TO the curtain was about six bits,
About midnight caboose car of the
Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern rail
road, near Cochrans saw mill, caught fire
from an overheated stove which was be-
ing fred up by a couple of stupid negroes,
The steam whistles and fire bells brought
out the Department and with q few buck
cts Of water succeeded in arresting the
flames. On the way TO the fire the Hook
and Ladder truck had its wagon-tonguC
broken of.

DEATH OF A VENERABLE
GREEK PROFESSOR.
The Most Notable Figure About
Harvard University.

CHICAGO, December ls.--A special to
the Daily News, from Boston, says: Pro-
fessor Evangelinus Apostolicles Sephoca-
lis, the venerable Professor of Greek Of
Harvard University, died this morning at
Cambridge. He was most profound
scholar and notable figure on the college
campas, with his flowing white beard and
silvery, unkempt locks. He was a native
Greek, born within few miles of the
classic Mount Plan, in 1907. His whole
life was a mystery, about which he refused
to talk. He spent several years in con.
vent, and came to this country and en-
tered Amherst College in 1929. He wa:
appointed Greek tutor at Harvard College
in 1872 and made Professor in 1860.

WHEN a talented but over ambitious
young man sets up shop as poet he
should be little careful about appropria.
ting the work of others and FASTING his la
bel over the real name. Well read people
may be rare, but there are great many
people who have read considerably and
remember what they have read, although
they cannot always turn to book and page.
II is especially risky to bring out an orig
inal piece Of poetry that was set 10 music
and sung in many households before the
author was born. The melancholy at
tributed in such case is more apt to over
take the youth after exposure than during
mechanical labor Of copying his blighted
hopes from an ancient scrap book.
There would be less risk Of detec-
ton and much more fun in
hooking apples or green watermelons in
their season. But better still to stick to
McGuhy's readers, Davies arithmetic,
algebra and legendre, Smiths English
grammar, Hardness Arnold's First Book
in Latin, with frequent references to
Webster's spelling book and to Webster
dictionary--university size. That will
make man of any healthy boy, if he
will plod away honestly and long enough.

THE unusual briskness of the holiday
trade is one of the sure evidences Of pros
perity in Memphis and the surrounding
country. 1t opened earlier than usual
some days ago, in fact it came in with the
month and has been steadily increasing
ever since. Yesterday beng beautiful
day the principal dry goods stores and toy
shops were so crowded that in many in
stances customers were greatly delayed.
People seem to be buying very literally
and almost without stint. And from the
quality and variety Of goods bought it is
evident that this is to be grown folks
Christmas as well as for the children. 1t
is noticeable that people are buying
not only toys and picture books
and little fancy articles to Amuse the
juveniles for an hour, but also buying
articles of value, costly ornaments for
mantelpiece and center table, good pic
lures, bronzes, statuettes, bric-a-brac, fine
books, articles OF vertu, ETC., to be kept as
permanent decorations of home, This is
an evidence not only of widely difi'dsed
prosperity but an improved taste in mat
tiers of art and the attractions that grow
up in the soft atmosphere CT refined home
life. People ofvory moderate means may
become art critics insensibly, almost be-
fore they know it, Our merchants are
well aware that the masses are becoming
better educated every year in regard
to the conyeniences, the comforts
and the luxuries of life, and are bringing
on goods to suit the demand. Very fine
stocks in all lines are to be seen in the
principal stores, stocks that uld.make {
good display on Broadway, or on the
principal shop streets of London or Paris
The thousands of our readers who have
been in those cities will agree with us OF
this point. The goods have been selected
with care and judgment, and are wei
adapted to the growing demands and i'm
proving tastes Of customers. The streets
and stores are crowded with happy
throngs. Every house seems worked t
its utmost capacity, and business is likely
to be brisk until after the holidays. Their,
are many strangers in the city, and th
daily arrivals at the hotels are UNUSUAL,
large. Persons returning after an alb
ssnce ola few years,or even afew months
express themselves as surprised and de-
lighted at the growth and the bushes:
activity Of the city.

TIE Nashville World says If the pres-
ent law is fatally defective, the voters Of
Tennessee should make sure that the men
they send to the next Legislature will
have the nerve and the ability to pass an
act that will be free from any constitu
tionai objection, and strong enough to
accomplish the purposes contemplated in
the last canvass. The railroad problem is
a complicated one, and it takes time to
mature Liquidation that will meet the
wants Of the State. And this should be
the great question in the next canvass, 90
that it may be better understood when
the Legislature meets.

The HanIOns.

The Hanlon Brothers opened last night
10 a crowded and highly delighted audi
ence the galleries, the dress circle, the
parquette, and the whole house being full
Of spectators, who were kept in a constant
state Of merriment from the beginning to
the close Of the rollicking entertainment,
which lasted two and half hours. Their
piece, "LeYoyage en- Suisse, is one Of q
series of lively entertainment, which
was inaugurated by the Hanlons in
Paris, during the last exposition in that
great city, and it has become their great
est success 1t is full Of novelty, rapid
action, funny incidents, and acrobatic
feats, chiefly Of a ludicrous description,
and the whole makes up a decidedly pleas,
ing entertainment. The first act represents
the smashing up Of stage full Of passen-
gers on the public highway, and the cap
sizing of the party within, all being
thrown out into promiscuous heap The
next act shows the interior of a European
sleeping car, arranged on the compart-
ment style, similar to the custom abroad,
and many comical incidents occur as the
car wheels roll around and seem TO travel
3 n its way. After numerous adventures a
collision occurs and the entire passenger
| list is thrown over a precipice at night,
the cars catch fire, and an Illuminated
tabeau winds up the scene, with the ac-
tors hanging about on limbs Of forest trees
and in various other exciting positions.
THE remainder of the piece Is equally
funny and exciting, and the large
audience gave evidence Of their enjoy
ment last night by liberal and hearty APP
plauso. The Voyage Through Switzer-
land" will be repeated tonight.
