Before giving full description it may
be well to give tho history Of the day,

knows the exact date of Is origin, or
who besan it. Probably it was u spon-

forty years; bat Brooklyn's MAY walk"
Is not, ssrictly speaking, the Children's

it Is only within the LAST ten years
that it has become anything like general
Methodist authorities date its origin in

tival of this nature has been in existence

readily see that children's festivals Of

man emerged from barbarism. We should
know this on general principles, without
any history on the subject.

secular day religiously enjoyed-this is
the only combination of words that gives
a fair idea Of it-not Sunday school

OF prim Sabbath affair, etill less com

dapgering their lives

by the Vest Heboken Department, has been
rejected by the Council. An iron tower will
be erected shortly. and q new bell win be swung

TERRIBLE CONFLAGRATIHN.
The Entire Business Portion of Spokane
Falls Wiped Out-Loss 80 100000.

The Entire Business Portion of Spokane
FaIis Wiped Out-LOss $6,OOO,OOO.
A fire which had its origin in frame
building near the Northern Pacific depot
at Spokane Falls, Washington Territory,
on Sunday evening, destroyed the prin-
cipal business portion of the city, the
Northern Pacific depot's Offices and
warehouses, entailing loss Of s6.00o,-
600. The city has apopulation Of 10000,
and was supplied with excellent water
works modelled after the Holly system,
with a capacity of 100000 gallons daily.
At the time of the fire, however, the big
pumps were not connected, and suffi,
cient pressure could not be obtained to
render the system effective in subduing
the flames. From the railroad buildings
the fire spread to the business portion,
all of which, with the exceptions of the
Crescent block one hotel and the news
paper office of the Review, was totally
DESTROYED. The burned district covers
an area Of twenty-five blocks, reaching
to the river. The fire was prevented
from crossing the river thereby saving
the large Touring and lumber mills.
Several deaths are reported, among the
number being Chas Davis of Billings.
The insurance was light on all the build
ings, many of them valued at $4,000 to
$4,000, Carrying but 5000 to $1,000.
Relief committees were appointed and
the needs Of the sufferers supplied.
