which visited Buffalo Thursday night did a
vast amount Of damage. For a time the
wind reached velocity of seventy miles
an hour. On the lake front forty small
houses are totally destroyed by the wind
and water, and their occupants had to flee
for their lives. Several persons are known
to have persisted, among them sailor
named Charles Mitchell and an old man
named John Edmunds. The bodies of two
children were recovered this morning, also
two bodies which are unknown at present

taken as indicating that the fight by the

is not attempting to operate either the beef

Eastport, Me-, Visited by a Destructive
Conflagration.
EASTpORT, Me-, Oct. 16.-The fire which
broke out at two o'clock Thursday after
noon ragged furiOusiy for ten hours, defying
ali efforts to control or arrest it. 1t started
in Capen d McClean's sardine factory, and
swept in northerIy direction along the
water front and through Water street, burn
ing two sardine factories, two hotels, about
thirty dwelling houses, the custom house
and post office and every place of business
where goods of any description were kept
for sale except two small grocery stores,
which were out of the path of the fire. Ii
is impossible to make 4 detailed report of the
loss sustained or to ascertain the amount
of Insurance, but the total loss will prob
ably amount to at least 100000, fully
covered by insurance, except the loss of the
sardine factories, which could not procure
Insurance. The factories gave employ
mant to at least 1000 persons, and much
suffering must ensue unless immed; late aid
is rendered. Contributions can be for
warded to Hen. n. Il. Mutt collector of
customs. The savings bank. the Frontier
National bank and the custom house, all
brick buildings, were totally destroyed. The
Frontier bank building was supposed to be
fre-rrOOf. The custom house, post office
and United States signal service records
and books were burned.

SOCIETY OF JESUS.
Number. Organization and Present Condi-
ton Of Its Members.

Number. Organization and Present Condi-
ton of Its Members.
The Gaulois gives some interesting
particulars in regard to the number,
organization and present condition of
the members of the Society of Jesus.
The Jesuits were 10000 strong in the
whole world in 1850; there were scarce
y a thousand in 1900, all secularized;
today they are from seven to eight
thousand in number. They were ex-
PEELED from France, from Switzerland.
Italy, Germany, Russia, Holland, the
whole of Central America and por-
ton of South America. They are toler-
ated in Spain, in England. Austria and
Belgium. They enjoy full liberty as
simple citizens of the United States and
in the English colonies. Nowhere. we
believe, are they recognized by State
as the Society of Jesus. if not in some
Republics of South America. The Jes-
nit Society is divided into two classes
of individuals, those who belong to the
order, but who can be expelled by
decision of the General from one day to
another. and those in respect to whom
the order is bound by solemn engage
ment. All the professed fathers are not
in this latter category and aJesuit does
not become professed father until after
the priesthood, which he does not re-
ceive until thirty-fOur years of age, and
after the pledge of strong vows. He
then undergOes a final examination,
tho reSult of which dacideS biS f1tI1ra
in the order. He afterward learns,
individually and secretly, if he is to be
admitted to pass, some day or other,
what is called "the third year." and it
is only after the last year of study that
the order is bound in this particular
The Pope alone can expel him from
the society and for considerations of
exceptional gravity. A Jesuit of Lou
vain, a partisan of the doctrines of NJ.
Charcot, wrote, recently. book to
prove that the miracles of St. Theresa
were all in the domain of the natural,
and that the temperament of the saint
sufiiced to explain them. The book
was condemned, but the writer was
not evicted from the order. The fact
is that each Jesuit enjoys full liberty
in his philosophical judgments and
one would never finish the sttempt to
enumerate all the bizarre works writ
ten by members of the society at diff
ferent epoches. 1t is this independence
of mind and freedom in the choice of
their studies which have constituted
the whole force in all times past of the
disciples of Loyola.-Pubtic Opinion.

$500 PER DAY.

Tho Phenix Insurance Co. Of Brooklyn.
Ordinarily the details of business opera
tionS are not regarded as interesting topics.
Looked upon as dry or technical, they are
relegated to remarked reports and special
trade papers, to be read only by those
treated Of The insertion here, however, of
a brief reference to the disbursement that
furnishes the caption, will probably not be
considered out Of place.
This particular $3.50 per day calls for
more than passing mention. 1t is not in
come, boarded up to increase the accumu-
iations Of the wealthy, nor is it a sum
wrested from toiling mankind by schem-
ing corporations to swell already bursting
Golfers. Wero these the destiny of the vast
annual aggregate reached by the daily
thousands, they might serve as nine
but with loftier aims in view and more
worthy results achioved-results that avert
threatening misfOrtunes and stand bull
warked against impending disasterS-the
influence disseminated is Of important con-
Germ to the community.
The character Of an individual and his
true value are estimated not by what he
has but what he is /; not by his talents, but
the manner in which he employs them; not
by the money he makes, but what he does
with it. So should it Be with business in
situations. 1t mu It be admitted that profit
is the primary object Of the latter. but the
manner in which this is accomplished and
the objects it serves are Of great moment,
deserving of outspoken condemnation or
praise; and an intelligent conception of
the motives and methods involved may be
had only from study of their effect upon
the general welfare.
These suggestions are prompted by a
contemplation of what has been going on
in the Phenix camp, and the daily out
put in 1855 from that apparently mex
haustible mine was $7s46, or a total for the
year in payments to polIcy-holders for
losses Of SO, $685. e5l. Here is the record for
five years:

WATCH YOUR ACCOUNTS.
Sensible Advice Which Applies as Much to
Eorv yyon

Sensible Advice Which Applies as Much to
Farmers as Store-Keepers.
Every store-keeper knows it is not
the gross profit, but the margin left
after deducting what it costs him to do
business, which enriches him. The
question is how to increase the margin
of net profit. After keeping down the
limit of waste, which is large in the
best regulated establishment, but which
we do not propose to consider at this
time, the best results will follow rigid
and persistent watchfulness of the
small and ordinary expenses. 1t will
not do to wait until the end of the year
to check up and see how things have
gone. Every store-keeper can, and
should know, not only what his yearly
routine expenses are, but, as we'll, what
they are, and what they should be for
every month and every week, if not
for every day. He should every day
scrutinize the expense account jeal-
ously. A little sum allowed without
notice as an extraordinary expense to-
day, becomes tomorrow a regular item
of outgo, and by the end of the year
has grown into a serious matter. He
should guard carefully that he is not
betrayed into allowing an increase Of
regular expenses by the hope or con-
lecture that there is an increase of his
business which requires and justified
larger outlay. The growth of business
on which a growth Of the cost in doing
that business is predicated, should be
clear and undoubtcd and Enthusiastically
permanent before the additional outgO
is allowed; for while the volume of
business transacted and gross profit
earned thereby may shrink at any time
for any one of thousand reasons. the
reduction of established regular ex-
penses does not follow so easily. 1t is
much easier to keep expenses down
than to reduce them after they have
got beyond proper limit. No man
likes to retrench. 1t is always hard to
come down to business on a smaller
scale. The merchant who finds it is
costing him more to run his store than
his volume Of business justifies, almost
invariably tries to enlarge his trade to
meet his expenses, rather than reduce
his expenses to meet his trade. 1t is
the courageous course to pursue. but
not more than one in ten succeeds in
the effort -American Storekeeper.
