At a sale in Birmingham, England, a
dealer paid $2S5 for a pack OF cards
The pack is stated to be the only one OF
its kind in the world. Every card is spc-
claly engraved, and the pack comprises
an exhaustive pictorial history of the
principal events i'll the reign Of Queen
Anne down to 1906. They include the
victories of Marlborough, the sea fights
OF Admiral Benbow, all the various chan
ges connected with the parliamentary
Proceedings of the day, and the con
clusion of the treaties between England
and France and Spain. The queen OF
hearts is very well drawn picture OF
Queen Anne herself, and the king ol
hearts represents King George Of Den
mark, her husband. The queen of dia-
monds is Annie Sophia, Queen of Den
mark the queen Of clubs is the princess
royal of Prussia, and the queen of spades
is the Princess Anne of Russia. The
knavcs were represented by leading

ANTWERP, September 6.-Dynamite ex-
pioded to-day i'll a cartridge factory in the
vicinity of the Bourse, killing several per-
sons and doing much damage to property.
Portions OF the Bourse were struck by
burning fragments and set on fire, caus-
ing panic in that building which was
at the time crowded.
1t is now known that 1876 persons were
killed. The cartridge factory was situa-
ted behind the docks upon which millions
OF cartridges were being loaded. 1t was
adjacent to the petroleum stores, and
two large Russian petroleum warehouses
were set on fire and are now burning.
Other stores are endangered. The police,
Sendarmcs and troops are assisting in
the work of eXtinguishing the flames,
while the priests and Sisters of Charity
are looking after the injured. The city is
envclOpcd in a dense smoke.
The explosion occurred in the work
shop where old cartridges were being
taken to pieces. Men and women were
actively at work breaking them up and
twenty-five million had been partly
broken. The fire is still raging, and now
covers two acres. The flames shot up to
an immense height. Among the roar of
the flames there is continuous succession
Of loud reports, supposed to be from the
ignition and explosion ofpackets of car
tridges. Beyond the Russian tanks and
Aobels sheds there are numerous houses.
The shipping at the African and American
docks is in danger.
Later.-The number of deaths will
probably reach 200. About 500 persons
were injured. The loss will be many
millions of francs. 1t will be impossible
to extingush the flames in less than
twenty-tour hours. Several vessels have
been burned. Owing to the intense heat,

PARIS, September 6.-M. Thevenet
minister ofjustice, has sent circular to
the Bishops of France reminding them
that the clergy are prohibited by law
from taking part in the elections. The
circular says the government will unhcsi-
tatingly and vigorously proceed against
ecclesiastics who may overstep the lines
enjoined under all governments since the
concordat. 1t was violation of this law
which caused the difficulties between the
civil power and religious authorities at
the commencement of the present regime.
The government has also instructed the
public prosecutors to take measures to
punish severely the commission by the
clergy of offences against common law.
