SWEPT BY FIRE.
The Entire Business Portion Of Seat
tie, Washington Territory, in Ashes.

The Entire Business Portion Of Seat.
tie, Washington Territory, in Ashes.
The business portion of Seattle, the largest
city in Washington Territory, is in ashes
Every bank, hotel place of amusement, all
the leading business houses all the newspa-
per offices, railroad depots, mills, steamboat
wharres, coal bunkers, freight warehouses
and telegraph offices are burned down.
The fire began at the corner of Front and
Madison streets III the candy factory of Mr..
Penteus, at 2:30 P. NJ, by some turpentine
catching fire, and before midnight had con-
sumed the whole business section Of the city
northward to Stetson and Posts Mill along
Front and Second streets to the water front,
involving loss estimated from S10 600, 900 to
S15, ,0GO, 900.
The city is literally wiped out, except the
resident portion On the high ground.
A stiff breeze was blowing from the north
west when the fire began and it soon got the
best Of the fire department. The water sup
ply gave out within two hours after the fire
began and then the flames had a clean sweep
Giant powder was used to blow up buildings
in the hope of staying the flames, but with
no effect.
The fire was not stopped by human efforts,
but was driven south by the wind and burned
until nothing was left within reach to feed
upon.
Ihe greater portion of the insurance is
placed with foreign companies California
companies lose about $500, 900 and Oregon
companies $3.50, 900. Not a single business
house of Importance is left standing.
Seattle is the largest city on Puget Sound,
thirty-eight miles from Tacoma, and has a
population of about 10000. It is charm
ingly situated on high terraces which rise
above the shore of Elliot Bay. The city has
grown with great rapidity, its business
blocks were large and handsome, and its
private houses are constructed with every
modern comfort and convenience. It has
many schools and churches, several daily
newspapers, number of hotels and bank
buildings, and many mills and factories The
streets were lighted by gas and electricity,
and the water service was constructed on a
most extensive scale. The increase In
the number of wharves and docks
has been incessant, showing the ad-
vancing prosperity of the town. The
suburbs are very beautiful and contain
number of luxurious country homes. The
chief business of the community is In
cca] and lumber the coal mines being
especially valuable. There is also avail
able an immense extent Of rich farm
ing land. The coal is shipped by rail and
water to San Francisco. The harbor Of
Seattle is large and well sheltered, with 81
depth Of water sufficient to float the largest
steamers. The port does great trade in
salmon, and in manufactures of wood, -four
and iron.

JESUS DIED FOR NE.

Can you, my dear friend, say "Jesus died
for me, and now / trust and love Him"
know many children even who can say
that, and they know and feel the meaning OF
each word. Every child that goes to Sum-
day school knows that Jesus died on the
cross to save sinners; but OIL how many
there are who have never really thought
very much of what He suffered for US on the
cross. They have often heard those words
read, "He was wounded for our transgres-
sions," but they have never taken 1t to them
selves an said, "He was wounded for my
transgressions." Jesus died for me-" 1t is
my most earnest prayer that every child
who reads this paper may understand why
it was that Jesus had to suffer on the cross
for US that we might be saved.
Some time ago was in the cemetery at
Nashv lie, Tenn, and I called to mind he
touching story Of stranger who was seen
there pl nting dover over soldiers
grave. When asked, "Was your son buried
inElawg' "Nop "A brotherT "Nop "a
relation?' "Nop After a moment the
stranger laid down small board which he
held in HIS hand, and said, "We i; I will tell
er in Illinois. wanted to enlist, but was
DOOR, had a wife and seven children.
was drafted; had no money to hire sub
stitute, and so made up my mind that
must leave my poor sickly wife and little
children and go and fight the enemy. After
was all ready to go young man whom
knew came to ME and said, You have
large family, which your wife cannot take
care of will 20 for you He did go in my
place, and in the battle OF c. ickamauga he wcs
wounded, and taken to Nashville hospital;
but after long Sickness he died, and was
buried here. Ever since I wanted to come
10 Nashville and see his grave, and so saved
I'D all the money l could, and yesterday
came on, and today found my dear friends
grave.n
With tears of gratitude running down his
cheeks he took up the small board ana
pressed it down into the ground in the place
of tombstone. Under the soldiers name
was written only these words: He died for
me.
No wonder the tears were running down
that farmers cheeks He well knew that
soldier had saved his life. Gladly, therefore,
he spent his time and hard-earned means to
do what little he could to express his love and
gratitude.
If YOU had stood by the side Of that grave
and heard him say, ''There is the grave OF
man who went in my place, and died for me;
but don't care; didn't ask him to so. He
might have staid at home, if he had mind
to,S what would you have thought Of him? I
think hear YOU say, "a man that would
talk in that way ought to be shot," say So
too But did you knew that the dear, loving
Jesus has died a more dreadful death Tor
you and yet, if you are not Christian, you
do not love him for it. You have never
thanked him for dying for YOU. You nave
never shed any tears as You have thought OK
His great love for you.-E r. Hammond.

dersized and arms not yet muscularized and
with the undeveloped strength OF JuVenes-
cence trying to take Thy fathers place in
gaining the livelihood for the family.
But, having seen Christ the boy of the
fields and the boy in the mechanics shop, I
show you a more marvellous scene, Christ
the smooth h-browed lad among the long
bearded, white haired, high forheaded eccle-
siastics of the Temple. Hundreds of thou
sands of strangers had come to Jerusalem to
keep O great religious festival After the
hospital homes were crowded with visitors,
the tents were spread all around the city to
shelter immense throngs of strangers 1t was
very easy among the vast throng coming
and going to lose child. More than
two million people have been known to gather
at Jerusalem for that national feast You
must not think Of those regions as sparsely
settled The ancient historian Josephus says
there were in Galilee two hundred cities the
smallest of them containing fifteen thousand
people. No wonder that amid the crowds at
the time spoken OF Jesus the boy was lost.
His parents knowing that He was mature
enough and agile enough to take care OF
Himself, are on their way home without any
anxiety, supposing that their boy is coming
with some of the groups But after a while
they suspect He is lost and with flushed cheek
and terrorized look they rush this way and
that saying: '.Have you seen anything of
my boy? He is twelve years of age of fair
complexion and has blue eyes and auburn hair.
Have you seen Him since we left the city,"
Back they go in hot haste, in and out the pri-
vate houses and among the surrounding hills.
For three days they search and inquire, Won
dering if He has been trampled under foot of
some of the throngs or has yentured on the
cliffs or fallen off precipice. Send through
all the streets and lanes of the city
and among all the surrounding hills that most
dismal sound "a lost child! A lost childm
And 10, after three days they discover Him in
the great Temple, seated among the mightest
religionists of all the world The walls of no
other building ever looked down on such
scene. a child twelve years old surrounded

out irradiating His entire nature with their
magnifcence. I warrant that He had mounted
and explored all the fifteen hills around NaZa-
reth, among them Her1non with its crystal
coronet of perpetual SLOW, and Carmel and
Tabor and Gilboa, and they all had their
sublime echo in after time from the Olivetlc
pulpit.
And then it was not uncultivated grandeur.
These hills carried in their arms or on their
backs gardens, groves, orchards, terraces,
vineyards cactus, sycamores. These out
branching foliages did not have to wait for
the floods before their silence was broken, for
through them and over them and in circles
round them and under them were pelicans,
were thrushes were sparrows, were night
ingales, were larks, were quails were
blackbirds were patridges, were bulbuls.
Yonder the white hocks Of sheep showed
down over the pasture lands. And
bles it's adventures down the rocky shelving.
Yonder are the oriental homes, the housewife
with pitcher on the shoulder entering the
door, and down the lawn in front children
reveling among the flaming fora. And all
this spring and song and grass and sunshine
and shadow woven into the most exquisite
nature that ever breathed or wept or sung OF
suffered Through studying the sky between
the hills Christ had noticed the weather
signs and that crimson sky at night meant
dry weather next day, and that a crimson sky
in the morning meant wet weather before
night. And how beautifully He made use OF
it in after years as He drove down upon the
pestiferous Pharisee and Sadducee by crying
out: "When it is evening ye say it will be
fair weather, for the sky is red, and in the
morning it will be foul weather to-day, for
the sky is red and lowering. Q, ye hypo-
critics. We can discern the face of the sky, but

IMITATION Is IMPOSSIBLE.

It has been shown that in many
cases It is easy to successfully initiate.
Scarcely has a new invention been
announce! before a host of limitations
spring Up on every side.
No higher encomium can be paid
TO the inventor or discoverer than to
encounter imitation, Notwithstanding
such tlattery is not acceptable.
In some cases successful imitation
is rendered impossible inasmuch as
the imitator is unable to lend a com

not the means at hand to aid him.
