no purer or more agreeable preservative
of the greatest earthly blessings can be

FLAME TOUCHED NOT THE CROSS.
A Strange Incident Connected With a
Church Fire.

"A Strange Incident Connected With q
Church Fire.
The FIRE which destroyed the Catholic
Church of ST. Bernard, on West Fourteenth
street, had, in its results, many elements
which the greater part of the congregation
regard as miraculous. The interior of the
building was completely Quilted. Scarcely q
Festige OF pew. gallery or organ remains.
Even the altar was ruined, but while the
flames roared around it, massive cross
escaped unscathed. 1t is the latter fact
which, the congregation regard as so re-
markable. and which, during the day, caused
the II oSt intense excitement throughout the
congregation. The figure Of the crucifxfon
stood at the gospel side Of the church,

fire burned ferceSt. 1t was nearly ten fee
high, constructed of wood and suspended

the missionaries, who had a session there
two years ago. When the flames had been
subdued and priests and fremen entered TO
inspect the damage, the first thing they saw
was the cross. 1t stood practically alone in
the wreck, as all around it lay the charIed
remains of pews, flooring, altar rails and
window sashes. Even the paint in the wood
work of the cross had not been blistered.

About the 1st of july a physician was APP

as James ID. Weston. He said he had

The doctor went to see the friend, who sad

oi about 40, suffering from enlargement OF
the spleen. There was no hope of his re-
covery.

of it for my mother. i want only year OF

had located a rich mine in Colorado. but.a
survey proved that it was not on his own
claim, but on that of his friend weston.
He had not told the latter and would nos

FINAL MEETINGS.

Parting Shots by the Boards of Super
visors and Education.
The final meeting of the ''Solid Nine"
Board of Supervisors will be held tonight.
Usually this meeting is merely formal in
character, at which the labors of the old
board and their offices are turned over to
their successors. 1t is intimated. however,
that the custom may be slightly varied this
year, and that the retiring Buckley
champions will take advantage of the op-
portunity TO appoint to term offices as many
more of The boss snowed-under lambs as
possible. If anything of special Importance
is programmed for this meeting, however, it
has been kept very quiet.
This afternoon some time there will
probably be meeting of the Board of
Education. The exact nature of this meet
ing as in the case of the Supervisors, will
be difficult TO guess. Quite number of i'm
portant transfers and other changes in the
department have been suggested, but the
attitude of the retiring board in regard to
them is not known.
