ing School.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-The boys section of the
paupers school in the district of Forestgate
in connection with the Whitechapel and
Poplar unions, took fire last night while
the inmates were asleep and was burned
with terrible results, twenty-six of the
boys who were in the upper stories being
sutfocated before they could be rescued.
Fifty-eight other boys were safely ,aken
from the burning building amid terrible
excitement Two of the matrons escaped
in safety by sliding down water pipes.
Several boys escaped in the same way. The
superintendent of the school repeat
edly rushed through the flames
and brought out number of
inmates. There were 900 persons in the
institution. The bodies of those who were
sutfOcated were carried to the main hall OF
the building which was still profusely dec
Grated with Christmas designs. The fire
was caused by an over heated stove in the
female department in which were 25O girls
The boys retired last evening in the high
est spirits, having been promised presents
and New Year fete9 to-day. The scenes
in the main hall where the bodies OF the
dead boys lie are narrowing Relatives
and school fellows of those who perished
are loud in their denunciatiOn.

Lost in a Hurricane,

HALIFAX, N. S.. Dec. 31.-The Allen
line steamer HISTORIAN. Captain France,
after stormy passage of twenty days
Her captain reports the weather expert
enced as something fearful, gales 5f hGrri-
cane force being encountered. On the 18th
a large vessel was sighted several mites to
windward in disabled condition. She
signaled "In distress, want assistance"
The HISTORIAN ran down to her and sig
nailed back that she would stand by her
until the weather moderated. 1t was then
blowing terrific hurricane with the seas
running very high. The disabled craft,
which proved to be the German ship
Shakespeare, Bremen Captain Miller, from
Hamburg October 26, bound to New York.
She had her main and mizzen masts gone
and her sails were in ribbons. The crew
were all hudd!ed together aft with light
jackets on. All Thursday night the
steamer lay near the ship, burning t1are-up
lights at intervals. The last light seen by
the lookout on the HISTORIAN was at 4
o'clock next morning. AS soon as it was
daylight on the 10Th the steamer
proceeded on in the direction in
which the signal lights of the Shakespeare
had been seen during the night, but no
trace of her could be found. She steamed
about for some hours in the hope of pick
ing up the crew, thinking the ship might
have gone down during the night and the
men have taken to the boats. Not vest
ige of her was to be seen, however, so the
HISTORIAN proceeded on her voyage. What
became of the crew of the ship it is hard
to say at present, but the weekly mail
steamer Sandman, which arrived yester-
day afternoon, passed close to the Shakes
peare on Dec. 2s. Some of her spars were
still standing, and she had apparently been
recently abandoned. Capt. France states
that the ships hull appeared to be sound,
the loss of sails and spars being the only
thing, apparently the matter with her. A
vessel that could weather the storm which
prevailed the night the HISTORIAN stood by
the Shakespeare, he says, was worth stick
ing to a9pag getting into port. He thinks
she would be valuable prize and well
worth picking up

Schools on the Reservation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The Post this
chiefs had rather turbulent interview
with the commissioner of Indian affairs
over the subject of Indian schools. Irwin
Miller, secretary of the Sioux commission
when questioned upon the subject said: at
is natural that the Indians should be dis
satisfied with schools at Hampton and
Carlisle. In the first place. from 30 to 70
per cent of the pupils at Carlisle and
Hampton die within four years of their re-
turn home, die like sheep with murrian,
principally from pulmonary complaints.
This is due either to the effect of the
eastern climate or to the enervating infu =
ence of closed houses after an outdoor life. 1t
may be that going back to the hills and
rude tcpees of their parents. after the COM
forts OF civilization is the cause of the great
mortality, but the death is fearful and the
Indians object to eastern schools. Another
objection is urged that several years in the
east teaches the young Indians to
despise their kinsmen and to lose
due their parents, whom they
find on their release living in ignorance
and squalor, and their education makes a
gap which cannot be abridged, while if the
schools were at the agency the children
would daily take home some evidence of
civilization and better mode of living and
lift their parents to higher level.' One
old Indian expressed himself very poeti-
cally to the Indian commissioner when
speaking of fogs which are frequent at
Honghton: The breath of the earth,
said he, rises up and poisons our chill
dren.' The Sioux committee favor the
agency school plan and seem to have a
weight of argument"

done everything in their power to harass
the Yankees. In some instances the sick

allowed medical treatment and were not

trading with the American fishermen. The

offenders.

Astor Investments.

The money which John Jacob As
tor gained in trade he wisely invested
in real estate in New York city, fore
seeing, as few of his contemporaries
foresaw, its future greatness. Trans
hitting to his son, William b. Aston,
not only the fruits of his toll, but the
wisdom that he had acquired by eX-
perience, he enabled him to continue
the work he had begun with almost
equal success. His grandchildren
have gone on in the same path, in
vesting their surplus income in
new purchases of land and in
erecting buildings upon that which
they already had, until they have be-
come the largest owners of real estate
in New York city. They have SO
many houses and stores to rent that
they prefer taking low prices from
good tenants to running the risks
which small owners are ready to en-
counter to obtain a larger income.
1t is therefore really more advantage
Gus for a merchant to hire his dwell
ling and his place of business from
the Astors than from any one else, and
! far cheaper for him than to own the
property himself.-SGD francisco Or

An artesian well was completed at
Woonsocket, L. l., last week, an i'm
mense flow of water having been
struck. The strength of the flow in
creased rapidly until the machinery
could not hold it in check, and a solid
column of water, as big as a mans
body, was thrown sixteen feet into
the air with a roar that could be
heard two miles. The flow was not
brought under subsection until last
night.
a lake covering over forty acres has
been formed in the lower part of the
town on some vacant lots. A dense
fog is constantly rising from the warm
water. Many barns and walks are
flooded. Half the pressure is now
turned on, and the water runs through
a six inch pipe and throws a solid
stream fifteen feet high. Artesian ex-
perts say the well is the most power
full one in the world. The proprietors
Of the Woonsocket flour mills have

THE REVIVAL STILL ON.

The Rev. MIR. HaIleron's Church on Third
Street in Active Work.
Scarcely had the excitement created BY
the Mills meetings subsidized when it was
announced that In accordance with the
express desire of MI. Mills revival
services would be continued in st. Paul's
M. e. Church, the Rev. Mr.. Halleron,
pastor. Last night Evangelist G. w.
Mooney opened a two weeks service at
this church. The church was we'll filled.
MI. Mooney. is a minister Of the Meth
odist church and belongs to the New
York East Conference. For some years
past he has devoted himself to eyangel-
iStic work and has been most successful.
Thousands nave listened to his preaching
and rave been converted. Ills remarks
last night were not confined to general
work, but devoted to explaining his
methods and insisting on the
ton of the people.
He read as the basis of his remarks a
part of the Fifty-tirsU Psalm, the prayer
of David, and he delivered a most pun
gent address. The church members gath
cred around the altar seeking for proper
spiritual qualification for the great work
on hand. Quite q number expressed a
desire to be saved. Mr.. Mooney said that
it seemed rather inopportune that he
should be here in the wake of the Mills
meetings, but he felt assured that he
would have large success in this effort.
The people from the start evinced the
deepest sympathy with the preacher, and
with the pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Halleron,
and promised before God their fullest CO.
operation. The indications point to a
great harvest of souls in st. Pauls Church.
The hours of meeting will be from half
past seven to nine O'Clock every evening.
Al half hours song service will preface
the preaching. Christians of every de-
nomination are cordially invited. The
services, while specifically Methodistic,
are broadly and deeply Christian.
