her husbands cruelty.

REV. RELIEVES KNIGHT.
We give this week portrait of Rev.
Relieves Knight of Chicago who stands
at the head of the list in the preacher
contest. .--
Cutting out Ballots in the contest for
the prizes offered by The APPEAL to the
ten most popular ministers in the states
Of Illinois, Minnesota, Kentucky and
Missouri, grows apace.
The friends of the ministers have be-
gun to work in earnest. There is rea-
son to believe that some will hold back
votes. There is no reason for and
nothing can be gained by this course.
This contest is a perfectly fair one and
will be to the end. @>'.~ - ~..,'' Z.
Request is made that those sending in
any number of votes will please write
plainly upon the outside of the envelope
the number of votes sent. They will
also be careful to cut out the ballot, no
more and no less, trimming it neatly to
the line. They will likewise avoid roll
ing them them. Observance of these
three simple injunctions will greatly
abridge the labors at this office.
The interest in the result in some quar-
ters is extraordinary. Many of the
friends of the preachers are greatly con-
cerned as though it meant suit of
clothes or cane or portrait for them
personally. They employ all their elo-
quence to persuade friends that their
own particular candidate is the best and
most deserving of popular support.
The name of the candidates appear in
the order of their standing. The first
in the list has received the largest num-
Der of votes, the second the next largest,
and 81 on throughout the entire list, the
one at the bottom having received the
least number. If your candidate is well
down on the listsit indicates that it will
be necessary for your friends to bestir
yourselves on his behalf if YOU would
have him win.

DANGEROUS BLAZE
Starts in an Insans Asylum but 10
Checked Without Loss of Life.

WoRcEsTE, Jan. l8.-Fire broke out il
the north wing of the State Asyl for the
Chronic Insane about 7.45 this evening and
through delay in the correct sonning Of the
box threatening confagration ensued.
The fire started through the careles.ness
OF an attendant in throwing q bunch Of
lighted paper down one of the water closets
in the lower "J.honnet" ward.
1t spread rapidly and despite the numer.
Gus streams that were turned upon it it ran
quickly round to the centre building. AT
this point it was stopped by = steamer
stream.
Tons of water were poured into the
building, almost the whole damage now
eeming to come from this source. and i,
will be some time before any idea can be
obtained of the loss.
The patients had all retired, but the at-
tendants quickly gathered them together in
the lower centre hall, where they were
dressed. When the fire came out into this
portion they were once more moved into
the south central building.
Careful search was made three times in
every ward in order that none should be
left and so far as can be learned now, none
are missing.
