A PALACE BURNED.
The Royal Palace of Belgium Destroyed
Ry an Inceadiary Fire.

The Royal Palace of Belgium Destroyed
By an Incendiary Fire.
BRUSSELS. Jan. 2-The royal palace
at Laeken. a suburb of Brussels, was
almost completely destroyed by fire
yesterday.
The flames spread rapidly and at one
time threatened to cut off the escape of
most of the inmates. The Princess
Clementine had a very narrow escape
from death and her rescue was made
with the greatest difficulty.
A young lady employed as governess
to the Princess was unable to follow
her mistress and was burned to death.
The only portion of the place which
escaped the ravageS of the flames was
that IN which the private apartments
or the King are situated. The royal
collection of works of art, one of the
finest in Europe, comprising some of
the most valuable paintings and statu-
airy extant, was entirely destroyed.
At ten O'Clock last night the palace
had the appearance of huge furnace
and there came from it constant
crashes and volcanic bursts of flames
as timber and other masses of debris
fell into the fire. The heat was SO
great as to totally prevent the approach
of the small fire brigade which at best
could have done but little.
The Queens apartments suffered
most. Much plate was saved, but the
valuablepictures, the G obelin tapestries
and the great library were all con-
sumed. The extensive green houses
end stables were not touched.
The only occupants of the palace at
oho fivoo ha fro brolyo ont xroro ho
Princess Clementine, aged seventeen, a
lady attendant and the governess,
DrancOurt. The governess, having
escaped with the others, returned to
the Princess apartments to secure
some valuables and was suffocated.
The Queen lost by this fire interest
ing souvenirs of her children, especially
OF her son who died at the age of
twelve.
Napoleon I. resided for time in this
castle, but it has since been much ell
1arged and improved.
AS soon as the fire was reported the
King and Queen suspended the New
Years day reception and fastened
thither and witnessed the total de-
structiOn of the palace, the usual sum-
mer residence.
1t is said the fire was caused by de-
1ective stove in the officers quarters.
The loss is immense as to money value
and as to destruction of art treasures
That can not be replaced.
All the private papers Of the King
and of Leopold 1. and the Queens jew
e{ry were destroyed. Only the walls
are now standing. The body of the
gOverneSS has not yet been found.
1t is reported that two tiremen were
injured and another killed at the fire
at Laeken.
The London Times has intelligence
Chat the.Laeken palace was fired by in
cendiaries at three separate places and
that all the Gobelin tapestry was saved.

cans.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-'sThere is
little use," said Solicitor Blaine, ''in
attempting to conduct civil-service
for one set of oficeholders and ignoring
the just claims of others. This has been
brought very prominently before the
State Department recently in cases
where young Americans desire to go
abroad as diplomatic representatives OF
the United States. Before there was
such thing known as civil-service
reform, politicians were accustomed to
bring their friends to Washington, and,
after receiving attention from the
head of a department, an appoint
ment to lucrative position was
generally the result. But now all
this is changed and the doors Of
the departments are practically closed
against applicants for Office, owing to
the requirements of the Civil-Service
Commission. Disappointed in their
efforts to get into public position in
other ways, many of the workers of the
two political parties turned their long

estly some of the consular Offices held
by others. Examinations are not re-
quired for these places, and they are
matters for the exertion of influence,
if the solicitation of candidates for
them can be believed. In consequence
of the demand for consular positions it
is quite likely that they will be recon-
mended to be turned over to the Civil
Service Commission to pass upon the
ability of the applicants, and thus re-
lieve the State Department of great
deal of annoyance.

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New |
Home Treatment.

Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Homo Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
n. B-This treatment is not snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable ply sicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
postage by A. II. Dixon & Son, cor. of John
and King Street, Toronto, Canada.-Chris-
