FIGURING Mill Burns.

W1NoNA, May 15.-The large eight
story Touring mill of the Winona Mill
ing company was completely Destroyed
by fire at an early hour this morning, to-
gether with the elevator which stood at a
short distance from it. The fire origin
ated in the boiler room and had made
such progress before it's discovery that
the Hremen found it impossible to sub
due the flames, although they fought
them with great skill and determination.
-Four employees were in the burning
building when the roof fell in and mar
rowly escaped with their lives. The mill
was a heavy wooden structure, sheeted
with iron. Even the brick engine house
is a mass of ruins, the tall smoke stack
only remaining. It is estimated the loss,
including a small quantity of wheat and
LOCO barrels of flour, will be about $780,
600, upon which there is an insurance of
100000. The mill had a capacity of
5000 barrels per diem, and was one of
the largest and best equipped in the
country. It employed about 12O men.
The stockholders are wealthy men and
it is probable they will rebuild, though
this has not yet been decided on. The
large Touring mill of L. G. Porter Mill
ing company, which was burned to the
ground last November, and had been re-
built, had a very narrow escape from a
like fate this morning.

~ y . III Up.'
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 15.-The Sec
rotary Of. wal has amended paragraph 1923
of the army regulations as follows: "The
sale or use of ardent spirits or wines in
canteens is strictly prohibited; but the
commanding officer is authorized to per-
NIT light beer to be sold therein by the
drink, IN week days, and in a room used
for no other purpose; and when practic-
able, in a building apart from that in
which the canteen is located, whenever
he IS satisfied that giving to men the OBJ
p%ortunity Of obtaining such beverages
within the post limits has the effect of
preventing them from resorting for
strong intoxicants to places without such
limits, and tends to promote temperance
and discipline among them. The prac-
tlce of what is known as treating must
not be permitted"
George A. Steele, who was yesterday
confirmed by the senate as governor Of

ert Martin the new secretary, received

Indication of Indian depreciation claims.

1t Is Believed all Members Will Agree to

RSAAToeA, N. Y, May 15.-At the af-
ternoon meeting of the Presbyterian
general assembly, Rev. VIM. E. Moore,
D. D., of Columbus, O., was elected mod
orator, and made a short address. The
report of VIM. H. Roberts, D. D., from
the committee on methods of ,effecting
changes in confession of faith, was &C.
copied, and Friday next was assigned for
debate on its adoption. The report of
VIM. Howard Crosby, D. D., reported on
the church at home and abroad, a maya
zine of the Presbyterian church. James
L. Smith, D. D., of Baltimore, reported
for the committee on church unity that
four meetings had been held by the COM
mittee and a cordial response had been
made to the overture of the house of
bishops of the Protestant Episcopal
church. The committee believed that
all the Presbyterians would accept the
first three propositions, viz: The supre-
macy OF the holy scriptures as a supreme
rule Of faith, the Nicean creed as a true,
though not exhaustive statement of the
Christian doctrine and the two sacra-
ments of baptism and the Lords supper,
duly administered. As to the fourth the
historic Episcopal and Presbyterian
church has always considered that it's
presbyters are true bishops. Several
communications and interviews between
he representatives of these two great
bodies have been held during the year,
and the hope was expressed that they
may be the first steps towards an ulti-
mate unity between them. Correspon-
dence has also been held with Professor
George ?. Fisher, D. D., of Yale theolog-
lcal seminary, chairman of the committee
OF the triennial congregational council.
"A continuance OF the negotiations wal
recommended.

The Perfection OF PolItensss.

In company in which l found my
self lately the conversation turned upon
politeness, which some one well defined
as "timely thoughtfulness, with human
sympathy behind it," One member OF
the party told Of the most thorough bit
of true politenesS he ever saw.
"some time ago." said he, "a friend
of mine gave little dinner, to which a
young friend, his wife and their little
child were invited. The child, only
three years old, was very precocious,
bashful and terribly sensitive little one.
During the dinner she upset glass Of
water upon the table cloth, and hastily
noticing the looks in her direction, her
little lip quivercd and her eyes filed
with tears.
"At that moment my friend who gave
the dinner knocked over his own glass
with a crash that drew every eye In MS
direction. He laughed over the matter,
said 1t made no difference, etc., aud
completely succeeded in Withdrawing
the attention from the child, who soon
smiled again.
"That consider to have been the per-
lection OF politeness. ."-Ns9 York Star.
