BURNING FIERCELY.

To get TO the stairway leading to
the upper floor was utterly impos-
sible, unless he dashed into a seeth-
ing caldrOn Of fire, wherein he had
last seen his wife. He could see the
bed, but il was mass Of flame and
empty. He felt himself being over
come by the smoke and heat, and
seeming TO go mad, rs he explains
it, and not knowing what he did,
he made rush for the door through
which he had entered. Itwas afire,
but Collerette got through and out
in the air. All his clothes were
burned of. a dozen people arrived
on the scene within five minutes
after the explosion took place, but
even then it was impossible to APP
preach within twenty-five feet Of
the building. The ground around
il seemed 10 be ablaze, and the men
who dragged Collerette out of
further danger were badly singei.
The bodies Of the victims were all
chaTred, and of that of Mrs. Col
lerette only the trunk was found.

seven Children Burned TO Death.
MONTREAL, March 9.-Mrs. Gne-
sine Collerette, wife of a Wealth.
Canadian farmer, and her seven
children were burned TO death in
their home at Cote st. Mitchell.
The family lived in a large stone
house. AT an early hour this
morning the building took fire and
before assistance could be given
it burned to the ground. Collerette
had left the house 10 attend to work
about the farm and on returning
found the place in flames. He tried
TO rescue his family but was over
come and tainted. He is terribly
burned. The fire was caused by the
explosion Of a can Of kerosene oil.
Later.-As soon as COllerette saw
the flames he rushed toward the
house. At the door he was met by
a burst Of flames. Then he ran to
the rear. Only smoke was coming
out of this door, and into il Collerette
dashed. He got as far as the door
OF the sleeping apartment, but here
was solid wall Of flames. The floor
was burning beneath his feet, the
ceiling was burning over his head,
and the four walls of the room in
which he was were

THE PROPOSED OLD LADIES HOME.

The general committee considered the
bill to appropriate 100000 for the pro-
posed home for friendless women, Mon
dav night. Five ladies appeared to pre-
sent the claims of the project. Judge
Powers, for the visiting party, spoke in
behalf of the proposed institution, and
gave a general outline of the plan, and
called attention to its need. The cause,
he said. was worthy one, advocated by
the most respectable and worthy women
in the State. At the head of the cor
porators was Mrs. Frederick Billings,
which fact in itself was an assurance of
the merit of the scheme. The trustees
would locate the home where to them
seemed best for those women without
friends and home. 1t was intended to
be refOrmatory in its character. 1t is
significant fact that many females have
been placed in the House of Correction
repeatedly, and this class was intended
to be reached. The idea of starting such
an institution was not new one. There
were several in Massachusetts, and one
in Manchester, n. H., in successful
loperation. He knew this Legislature
was pledged TO Tetrenchment, but re-
form consisted i'll cutting Off extravagant
expenditure and making wise appro-
priations for useful ends. The ladies
can raise some funds by private sub
scriptions, but they need the aid of the
State to undertake the enterprise. The
appointment of an advisory committee,
as provided for, insured careful future
supervision. He said if we consider the
number of females who are inmates Of
poor-houses and reformatory institu-
| tions. it will seem TO be wise economy
for the State. He then introduced Mrs,
Bell of Craftsbury who gave something
of the general plan of the institution.
II is to have fourteen cOrporators, one
from each county--all women. 1t is
aimed chiefly to be reformatory in its
character and not house for old or
feeble women. She expressed the belief
the State would not be parsimonious in
the matter and emphasized at some
length the need of such an institution.
She spoke somewhat of the workings Of
the institution at Manchester, n. II. 1t
was founded there last January by a
State appropriation of 5000. Seven
inmates were at present cared for there.
The projectors expected to meet the ex-
penses by the subscription they should
raise. Humanity and religion both de
manded that such action should be taken.
The Legislature passed the bill and it
has become a law.-Ddiiy Journal. lAzn

Royal Baking Powder
Leads All.

The United States Official Investigation of Baking
Powders made, under authority of Congress- by the
Chemical Division of the Department of Agriculture
Washington, D. C., and recently completed, furnishes
the highest authoritative information as to which is
the best baking powder. The Official Report shows
the Royal Baking Powder to be a cream of tartar
baking powder superior all others in strength and
leavening power. a5,a
The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, made
from the most wholesome materials and produces finer
favored, sweeter, lighter, palatabe, wholesome
and delicious bread, biscuit cake, pastry etc. than
any other baking powder or eavening agent
Being of greater strength than any other baking
powder it is also the most economical in use.
If there are any housekeepers not using the Royal
Baking Powder these great qualities warrant them
in making trial Of it i ,.,f.y. .a... 'alf.,

In your throat, which makes you cough
once in awhile and keeps you constantly
your throat, arises from catarrh
and as catarrh is constitutional disease
the ordinary cough medicines all fail to
hit the spot. What you need is a cOnsti-
tutional remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Many people who have taken this medi-
cine for scrofula, dyspepsia, loss of ap-
petite, and other troubles, have been sur
prised that it should cure this trouble
some cough. But to know the actual
cause of the cough is to solve the mys-
terry. Many cases of consumption can be
traced back to the neglect of some such
slight affection as this. Consumption
can be controlled in its early stages, and
the effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla in puri-
flying the blood, building up the general
health, and expelling the scrofulous
taint which is the cause of catarrh and
consumption, has restored to perfect
health many persons on whom this
dreaded disease seemed to have firm
hold.

beneath it are the ruins of three other

the entrance to the house of PLATE in
Jerusalem, the one trodden by Christ at
the time he appeared before the COVER

cept on the knees, prayer to be said on
each step. One man had lust finished
the climb, and another had Just began il,
as we arrived. The stone steps are very
much worn by the knees of the multitude
who have climbed, so much so that they
are now covered by wood as we cover
stone steps in the winter; i understand
that this board covering had to be re-
placed every year. A stairway each side
gives access TO the top, so we were not
obliged TO wear out our knees, or the
boards either. In the church of San
Lorenzo is the tomb of Pope Plus TX,
back of and below the high altar, and is
reached by staircase at one side of the

room containing il is lined with mosaic
pictures; it was not quite finished at the
time of our visit. Over the gallery of
this church can be seen part Of the old

WHO CARES I

Who fceltnyly cares whom monopolies,
combines AMI trusts corner upon the farmer!
1t matters nothing to the trader, for he
buys and sells in the market, and m akes
his profits without regard to price. Tho
middleman only wants his commission, and
gels it..
The banker and money lender have no.
concern about the price of produce, for
money brings certain per cont. rate Of
interest, whether cotton is 8 or Is cents per
pound.
These classes produce nothing. They
only trade on what ether people produce,
and live on the profits made in the traffic.
But to the flrmer-the man who raises
the articles which give rise TO al the trade
OF the country-to him alone the price Of his
products is all important.
