TWO GREAT FIRES.

Following closely upon the great dis aster at Lynn. Is another terribly de structive fire ill Boston. the total loss by which will not fall short of S5.O0O .OoO. At Lynn the fire destroyed lot of dan gerous wooden buildings covering large territory. It started at a point difficult of access and no fire depart ment in the world could hinder the progress of the flames. At Boston the conditions were m almost all respects different frym those at Lynn. The fire started in a corner building accessible from two sides. The buildings were i'll the district burnt out by the great fire of 1872 and special attention had been given to their construction. They were built of granite, brick and iron. Nobody thought they could be destroyed and yet when the fury of yesterdays flames struck them they almost melted away. The fire was fought by one of the best departments in the country and every thing was thoroughly soaked by the tre- mendous downpour of rain yet for six hours the flames ragged and wrought ruin to millions of dollars worth of property.

X CINCINNATI man went fishing, first promising his friends a supply of his catch. He tished all day. but didn't get l bite. Surprised at this, he examined his tackle and found that there were no hooks on his line. When he returned he bought several dollars worth of fish and sent them around to his friends. That night at the club he began boast ing about his success and was laughed at. The same men who received the fish had cut the hooks from his lines.
 WHEN Captain John Ericsson, the in- ventor of the monitor, died. his remains were laid in the receiving vault in New York. and his countrymen planned to carry his bones back to Sweden and give them honored burial in the land of his birth. But they are likely to be in- tered permanently by the side of the bones of Robert Fulton, inventor of the steamboat, which lie in a vault connect ed with the old Trinity Church in New York City. A considerable sum of money is now in the hands of trustees for 8 monument to Ericsson.
 FISHING in Alaska is good if a Cana oian gentleman recently visiting there tells the truth. He says that at Tongass NarrowS he saw a creek so crowded with salmon that the surface was actually blackened with their backs and dorsal fins. In some places they were crowded so closely that they could hardly move, and could be picked out of the water by hand. At a canning establishment he saw s,0oa just taken, waiting treatment, and in ono case one draught of a seine brought to shore 2,5OO salmon.

 Without a Sheriff's Pass.

Speech-The Argument of Counsel VIII
 Consume Nearly n Weeks Time-Detec'
 tives Watching the Residence of Alex.
 Sullivan Intense Pooling on Both Sides
 CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-Very little time was consumed this forenoon in exam ming few unimportant witnesses ln the Cronin trial and Judge LongeneckeI is now making the opening speech. He is going over the evidence carefully. At the conclusion of the opening speech Judge Wing will speak for Burke and Coughlin and endeavor to explain away the strong circumstantial case made out against them. He will be followed by George (. Ingham for the prosecution who will be answered for kunze and O'Sullivan by Attorney Donahue. w. J. Hynes will show the weakness of the Clan-na-Gael alibis, and then Lawyer Foster will try tc prove that there is no eliminating evi- dence against Senior Guardian John F.. Beggs, of Clan-naGael Camp 20. w.. $. Forest will follow with an argument in favor of discharging the prisoners, and then Luther Latlin Mills, with all the force of which his poetic, dramatic and legal talents arc capable, will bring the great trial to q close. The argument is likely to consume week. time.
 The lives of five men will thus be in trusted to the jury. The evidence against four of the five is as strong as any circumstantial evidence can be, and the jurymen have let none of the points, weak or strong, either for or against the prisoner, escape them.
 Fears of a Possible Outbreak.
 Special precautions has been taken in reference to possible outbreaks of eX- cited individuals. The sheriff and po- lice department arranged their plans in detail. Special bailiffs are more numer- ous about the courthouse than during the anarchist trial All doors are guarded and no ladies allowed in the courtroom. No one is admitted except on presentation of a pass signed by Sheriff Matson. Thess precautions have been adopted because of the. high feeling among the antago- nistic Irish elements, and the fear that the closing speeches might provoke trouble in an indiscriminate crowd.
 Alex. Sullivans Residence Watched.
 Tho residence of Alexander Sullivan is being cons tantly watched by a de- tective who has special facilities for communicating with the Chicago Ave nue Police Station, which is only few blocks distant. This espionage has been ordered because Chief Hubbard re- ceived reliable advices that a concerted attack upon the residence in question, after the style of wild Western meth ods, might be made at any time.
 There is no denying the fact that as the trial approaches it's conclusion the feeling on both sides increases in in tensity, and should it's outcome be un- favorable to the prosecution this feel ing might manifest itself in a serious form. The authorities, believing in the supremacy of the law, have evi dently thought it we'll to take early precautions against any attempt on the part of the masses to take the law into their own hands.

MIR. DEPEW's CHAIRS.
A Humorous Incident That Convey0 .
 Lesson in Advertising.

Lesson in Advertising.
 "Ever hear how Chauncey M. Depew got the ship-chair he used on his last trip to Europe?" asked a member of tho ( lsolidated Exchange.
 The New York World had not heard, a, l the broker proceeded to unfold.
 The day before his departure MT. De- pew and friend were walking on Fourth avenue. In conspicuous place on the sidewalk in front of small furniture store were two ship-chalrs, each bearing placard inscribed: "Sold to Chauncey NJ. Depew."
 Mr. Depew caught sight of the chairs, and, scratching his chin mo- ment, said:
 By love, had almost forgotten about these pesky chairs. Got to take 'em right along now or I'll not get 'em aboard the ship" and, swinging the two light chairs over his shoulder, he walked rapidly up the street.
 The furniture man, a stout German, came rushing out of his shop and fol- lowed as fast as he could run, calling after MT. Depew to drop the chairs and yelling for policeman.
 Whats all this row about?" said an officer who arrived on the scene as the furniture man came up putting and blow ing.
 ''Dose fellers carry of mine shairs" he exclaimed, as soon as he could get command of his breath. "I want dhem tooken right away to der courthouse"
 "Iou see the inscription on these chairs," said MT. Depew quietly to the officer, as he pointed out the card, Sold to Chauncey NJ. Depew?'' "You may not know me, but I am MT. Depew," and he took card from his pocket and handed it to the officer. II sail for Europe to- morrow and these are ship-chairs ex- pect to use on the trip"
 The shopman began to make some ex- planation.
 "Just hold on now, Fatty" interrupted the officer, who could not see where any satisfactory explanation could be made. You've sold these chairs to MT. Depew and printed his name on 'em. If there's any dispute about the bill this isn't the | place to settle it. Don't lose any time | gettin' back to your shop or I'll run yer | in fer disturbin' the peace. See?' That's a trick those fellows have," said MT. Depew to his companion, as he | negotiated with a boy to deliver tho | chairs on board his steamer. ''TheSe chairs do not belong to me any more than they belong to the Shah, but they will come handy, all the same. The furniture man or some of his clerks heard l was going to Europe, and put | ting my name on the chairs and display | ing them on the sidewalk was simply an advertising trick. The proper place to | advertise is in the newspapers. I'm not a newSpaper man, but I'm opposed to sidewalk advertisements" | And that" concluded the broker, ''iS how MT. Depew got his ship-chair."

A BERLIN telegram says the Russian government intends to abolish the GUS tom duties on coal. Here Is striking object lesson for our ''proteCtionlStS. Russia, the strongest tariff government. outside of China, in all the world, finds it to her profit to abandon the high earth. so as to cheapen it for the pur- poses of manufacture and eXportatlon. Our manufacturers are clamoring for a similar cheapening of the same material, without which. they declare. they can not go on successfully. But their high tariff rulers say no.

It has not escaped notice that while

1t has not escaped notice that while
towns for the sake of securing manu-
featuring industries vote to exempt
them from taxation for term of years
no town ever thinks of taking such a
vote in regard to farm. Every inch
of land must be taxed, every improve
ment that a man makes on his land in
creases the burden of taxes and there is
no respite. We hardly know how the
towns could help things in this direc-
tion and do no injustice to any one, ,and
yet there ought not to be complaint if
some of these abandoned farms be ex-
empted from taxes for year or two,
as an induccment TO their occupancy.
Present loss cannot be much, and in
most cases whatever loss there may be
will come back in a short time in an
increased value of the land for purposes
of taxation. The suggestion is a good
one, and we hope some of the towns
will take the matter into consideration
at their town meetings next SPRING
We find no fault with the effort to en-
courage manufactures, but let us en-
courage agriculture also. These two
branches Of industry will help each 9TH
er, and both need pushing within our
borders. In either case the scheme is
to help in the present for the sake of
future gains.

In conversing with a gentleman the
other day who has recently retired from
bus;ness In a Massachusetts city and
settled upon Vermont farm, regard
;ng the present effort to boom Vermont,
he seemed TO think that the tendency OF
tho nresent movement was to set forth
the poverty of the State and carry a
false impression to outsiders regarding
the real worth of the State. He thought
that the other side should be dwelt up
on more fully. He suggested that the
State appropriate $4,000 for the pub
lieation of fully illustrated book set
t;ng forth the resources of the State and
illustrating its scenery. He thought
that such a book circulated in the cities
among merchants and men Of leisure,
would attract attention and bring about
the sale Of many places for country res
idences. He thought that the people
of the cities knew but little about Yer
mont the attraetiveness of its climate
and scenery, the healthfulness of its
maintain air. etc., and that with an
increasing knowledge Of these things
they would be drawn more and more
towards the State. While we may not
fully agree with him in regard to the
first matter, we fall in with the sugges-
t;on he made. Such method Of adj
vertising must have its advantages and
hiring people and business to the State.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The pan-Americans having made the
circuit of large cities and visited large
numberof manufacturing establishments
returned to Washington last week and
the sessions of the Congress were re-
sumed. The Brazilian delegates, how
ever, found themselves in an embarras-
sing position, and if we understand cor
rectly withdrew from the Congress-
They came as the representatives OF an
empire, but the empire they represent
ed is thing of the past. They express
themselves as not quite able to UNDER
stand the movement tlfat has taken
place in so peaceable and sudden man
ner. II is said that their Withdrawal
relieves Secretary Blaine from an en-
barrassing position as he could not find
a stenographer in the country who was
able TO report in both the English and
Portuguese languages. The result OF
this Congress will be to bring the re-
publics Of the new world into a position
to understand each other better, and to
enlarge the market for our manufac-
lures. European countries are now
occupying the field, and there is no
good reason why this country should
not reach out and take much larger
portion than it now holds.

ROMAN CATHOLICS.

Among current events may be men
toned the Catholic Centennial just held
in Baltimore to commemorate the es-
tablishment Of the Catholic church in
the United States. No similar assem-
blage in all history has exceeded it in
boldness of thought and utterance. The
ceremonial in the Baltimore Cathedral
attended by men of wealth, rank, and
learning from all parts of the country,
even of the world, suggests by contrast
the weak condition of the Catholic
church in this country century ago.
Most of the early colonists were Prot
estants, Protestants with pronounced
hatred Of the church from which they
had separated Accordingly, while
these several sects had considerable
strength at the close of the revolution
ary war, the Catholics were scattered
and feeble, perhaps, except in Mary
land.
His Holiness, Plus vi issued bull
creating the hierarchy of the United
States, Nov. 6, 1889, and appointing
John Carol first bishop of Baltimore,
with Episcopal jurisdiction extending
over all the territory comprised in the
Federal Union. The then Catholic
population was estimated at only 40, 200
or l-1OOth of the 100000 then in
this country. About thirty priests min
kistered to this flock, and when Bishop
Carol held his diocesan synod in l79l
it consisted of but II priests.
But the growth of the church has
been steady; aud to-day according to
Hofman's directory, the Roman Cath
olic population of the United States is
8,157,6 ,676; the total number of priests
is S,11S, with 10000 churches and
chapels. % seminaries, 650 colleges
and academies, ?, 799 parochial schools
and $40 hospitals and orphan asylums.
In New England, where opposition was
most violent there are one archbishop,
six bishops, 942 priests and 6l9 church
es.
Catholicism first reared the cross
within the limits of what is now the
State Of Vermont, in Fort St. Ann, on
Isle La Motto. The Mass was said on
the island for the first time in 1866, in
the month Of July by the Sulpitian-
Dolliver de Casson. The fort and chap
el have crumbled away. A mission
was early established by Jesuit Fathers
at Lake st. Catherine in Poultney, and
Gov. Hiland Hall in his history of Vt.
SAYS they gave the name to that beau
tiful lake of St. Catherine. In 1880
Bishop Fenwick of Mass. sent Rev
jeremiah O'Callaghan, an eccentric but
devoted priest, as the first permanent
pastor in Vermont, who, beginning his
labor at Wallingford, fixed his residence
at Burlington. The diocese OF Bur-
lington was erected in 1858. On the
3Oth of Oct. 1858 Louis de Goesbriand
was consecrated bishop in New York
and on the 9th Of November following
he came to Burlington to enter upon
! his office as the Bishop Of Vermont,
Under his administration the number
of churches in Vermont has risen from
Z to Il, priests from ) to 4S. There
are Ii converts, 125 congregations,
college and IL parochial schools will
an attendance Of 1000 pupils.-Henry
