Destructive Fire in Boston-Loss of
 Half a Million Dollars-Several
 Firemen Hurt.
 BOSTON, Dec. 27.-The most disastrous fire which has ragged in this city since the Thanksgiving day fire of 1889 occurred to- night. It was of somewhat extended area and for 8 time threatened millions of dol lars worth of property. The structure burneds was the four and one-half story building 133, 1855 and Al Federal street, owned by the Revere heirs. The building was damaged to the extent of from $100,000 to $125, ,000, and was fully insured. Parker, Holmes & Co.,, boot street; and their loss is estimated at $150,- 900, fully insured. Hosmer, Codding & Co.,, boots, shoes and rubbers, occupied Nos. 133 and 1855. Their loss is estimated at from $200, ,000 to $225 1000, partially in sured. J. S. Houghland, a fireman, fell through an opening in the floor, adistance of two stories and sustained fractues of both legs and internal injuries from which it is expected that he will die. Several other firemen were slightly injured. The cause of the fire is unknown. The blaze was discovered at 7:30 in the basement of the store of Parker, Holmes & Go. A second alarm was sounded at S:10 and a third at S:17. No attempt was made to re- move the stock from the building as it was practically useless. It was nearly II 80 before the fire was under control.
 sAwTELLE DEAD.
 The ApopIetic Stroke Proved Fatal
 An Autopsy Made on the Body
 The Remains to be Inferred by His
 Aged Mother.
 CONCORD, N. H., Dec. 27.-Isaac B. Sawtelle, the murderer under sentence of death here, died of apoplexy Saturday. As result of conference between War den Colbath and Prison Physician Clarke, an autopsy was made on the body at the state prison this afternoon, by Doctors Clarke and Conn. The report of the ex- animation states the external conditions were natural, the body being well nour- ished and normal; nothing except the ordinary post mortem conditions to be ob- served. The head only was exam ined, and when the bone was re- moved the dura matter was found largely disturbed with fluid consisting of bloody serum. Carefully removing the brain it was found the blood came from small branch of the middle cerebral ar teries. This effectually disposes of the suicide theory and eubstsntiated the theory of the prison officials that apople1y caused Sawtelle's death. The body will be given in charge of the local undertaken early tomorrow morning and will be sent by the TAO 6. m. train to James A. Edger- ly, the murderer's counsel, Great Falls. Subsequently it will be inferred in Forest Hills cemetery, Boston, where Sawtelle's father and brother Hiram are buried. Ar engagements for the interment there will be made by his aged mother.

the experience Of man on this nttle earth is to be accepted whether we un lerstand it l or not.
 Turning now for moment to the second point suggested we should distinguish | further those truths concerning Christ | which are in part known and which are in part also objects of faith.
 | Now these further beliefs concerning Christ's nature the church has maintained. and we are warranted in making them ar ticles of our Christian teaching, so far as they are rational interpretations of the simpler, unmistsksble things that have been made known in the Scriptures con- corning Jesus himself.
 First inquiring what we know of the son of man whom apostles confess to be
 the son of God, gathering in our thought
 of him all his works, the characteristics of his life and his words which may stsnd
 the tests of the most searching historlcai investigation, and, what is as important,
 throwing away all our learning and looking
 once more with our own eyes at
 the wonderfully simple and powertni ing in it's own right in the gospels, we
 m9st then yroceed as rational beings to | combine 1nese material of our knowledge | of Chdst in some conception of him that l sb.1 have self-consistency and compre- hend in it's unity whatever in any way may
 be made known to him; and this belief, so
 formed, will be our doctrine of the Christ.
 So fashioning it's belief the church con-
 fesses that he was not as one of us; that he
 was man, and yet the man chosen from
 eternity for Gods indwelling, in whom the
 word became fesh.So thinking and ponder
 ing over thel life ofChrist, I accept personally ] the Nicene creed in which the early church finished it's three centuries of thought oyel
 what it knew of Jesus himself; that
 ancient creed of the church expresses tt me the most rational conception of th' , person of the Christ, in view of the mos comprehensive philosophy of nature, ant deepest ethics of the love of God, which am able by any means to apprehend. Ant vet if another man may not be able SO t @ think of Christ. while Jesus himself in tn known truth, the gracious beauty, and tn t spiritual power of his life may be to hir '- the inspiration of his morality, and th
 only light of his life, and in his inwar .s conformity to the spirit of the Lord | e may be the better Christian of the two

A TH1RTY-sroRY BUILDING.

When Bruce Price, the architect, ex-
bibited the design for a thirty-story Office
building, to be built as a tower in steel,
with a stone coating outside, it was re-
garded as significant that he chose to rep
resent it as standing upon a site of the size
of that occupied by the Sun, and that the
Sun published a conspicuous account of it,
asking in a headline, what if the Sun
built itg' The design was a very pleasing
one, recalling the Italian Companies famil-
lar to travellers.
There has been a good deal of talk about
the building since and general agreement
that there must be something in it,"
though the Sun keeps silence. A thirty
story structure would dwarf the thirteen
and seventeen-story Times and World
buildings as much as they now dwarf
Dana'5 ancient fortress.
Ex-Superintentent of Buildings D'Oench,
whom | questioned upon the subject, said
be didn't know anything about the SUMS
plans, but that Mr.. Price's tower was per-
fecty feasible, structurally.

terly piece of work and well worth looking
at. daring in color, perfect in composition.
There came waddhng by first fat old
lady, who passed the picture with a virtu-
Gus sniff and tip-tilted nose expressive of
disgust. A young woman leaning on her
husbands arm followed. She saw the
nymph from afAr and gazed in the other
direction as she walked by with an ill-as-
sumed air of unconcern. Her husband stole
one quick look at the lazy beauty on the
canvas and then sheepishly glanced round
to see il he was detected.
Next approached NO chatting school girls
out for their half holiday. Now, thought /,
for blushes and giggle. Nothing of the
sort. They stopped before it. "Oh, isn't
that beautifuln said one. For a moment
they stood with admiring eyes, then slowly
passed along to the next picture with perfect
Inconsistencies OF manner. 1t was the
hight of good breeding.
A man walking alone looked furtivelv
about and stole up to the canvas. For a
moment he devoured it with his eyes, then
scurried away to the other side of the gall
lery, still viewing it from distance.
Another man and woman, arm in arm.
They paused to view the forest spirit,
naked, but unshsmed, and began discussing
her with the interest of intelligent amateurs
| overheard something about flesh tints"
and the "foreshortening Of the left leg"
A newspaper critic at al dog -trot paused
for moment, penciled hasty note on the
margin of his catalogue and hurried on. A
thin-visaged lady remarked to her thin
vIsaged companion that such things ought
not to be allowed" A little group of art
students examined it long and carefully,
busily discussing it as they looked from
various points of view.
1t is not so many years since a Henner
nymph, brought to the auction block in New
York, was roundly Kissed by the virtuous
among the buyers. The nude is gaining
ground.

BE IS DEAD.


The REV. I. S. X. AXsoN n. n.
For Many YeGrs the Beloved Pastor Of the IN
dependent Presbytaiaa Church in Sauan-
nah.
The good man lives as blossoms bloom
That breathe around their sweet perfume;
And when he dies we love that spot
Where grew his sweet forget -me-not.
Oh! happy be his happy heart
When called from all he loves to part,
Resigned subdues his selfish will.
And calmly dies, a good man still
See, round his bed his dear friends weep
When in Loves arms he siuks in sleep;
No fears disturb his quiet rest.
Pressed fondly TO his mothers breast.
His happy spirit takes its flight
Surrounded with celestial light;
Rejoicing. on its upward way,
To welcome in its newborn day.
When through deaths shadow it has passed
All darkness now is backward cast;
Before it lies celestial light,
When home and heaven now come in sight.
Oh. happy is his happy soul,
Who gave to Love its fun control;
And soon will Join her lovely race,
Who occupy unbounded space.
The pearly gate flies open wide,
And Jesus, standing by its side,
Now welcomes home the hero true.
Who bravely fought the battle through.
With joy he sees his signet ring,
When all his angels round him sing;
We glory give to God above,
Who saves us with redeeming love.

CHARLES A. DANA.

When Charles A. Dana Of the Sun is in
New York he goes to his Office every day
and puts in stiff days work, just as if he
wasn't II years old aud millionaire. He
is kindly, brusque old fellow, who beams
upon everybody through his big two-moon
spectacles and bustles and buzzes about
more like big blue bottle-fy on a window
pane than the traditional Office cat. But
when he settles himself at the business ear
of his stenographer loaded for column or
so of loaded brewer. the fur begins to fly in
earnest. It's queer that a man who has
more warm personal friends than any other
editor in New York should algo have such
q host of bitter enemies. Probably the
reason Is that most of them have never
seen him.

THE YOUNGEST pRAMAr1sT.

Augustus Thomas is one Of The youngest
of the successful dramatists, for SO he is
called since Alabama" made hit at the
Madison Square. He isn't in appearances
the ideal dramatic author at all. Sidney
Rosenfeld, with his tall, slender figure,
black hair and eyes and fine aquiline fea>
lures, answers that description much better
Mr.. Thomas looks younger than he Is. He
is smooth-shaven and plump checked,
rather under the medium hight, with
merry dark eyes, low voice and pleasant
manner. He is good with pencil as well as
pen and sometimes amuses an audience
with crsyon sketches Of young fellows and
their girls.

Spring aud Summer Styles for the
Unimporuant Sex.
NEW York, April 1s.-Spring and sum-
mer styles for men were much delayed in ap-
pearance by the cold weather of March and
early April, but are now pretty we'll fore
Swallowed. Cassimeres and cheviots will
remain in favor Wide vale diagonals of
rather rough texture are held in favor.
Dark blue with purplish tinge is going to
be much worn. Trousers will show plaid
effects rather than stripes. Pin checks will
alternate with the big squares. Grays and
light browns will predominant at summer
resorts.
Silk hats will be small and low-crowned
with moderate brims. The derby Is q
matter of course Trim brown, drab and
gray slouches with narrow brims and
creases down the centre will be suitable for
undress occasions, and those who like that
sort of thing can buy low round topped hats
with narrow curled brims made out of loud
plaids
The coy and shrinking flannel shirt will
have a rival for popular favor in the striped
calico or 'bedticking" starched shirt. The
white lines run horizontally across pink,
drab or light blue ground.
II you want to be as gorgeous as a
Colorado senator at slight expense, get
calico Dolly Warden night shirt in some
pale, weak tea color, with great plantations
of roses and things climbing all over it.
Patent leather shoes will mold their own.
Light and dark tan colored footwear will be
worn out of town. Spotless white CATERS
Will be worn over patent leather. 1t will be
o great year for the chalk trade.
New ideas in mems scarf pins are enamel
pansies in every shade and of differing
sizes. A Turks head in enamel, a cock
with his body made out of big pear-shaped
pearl and his head of red enamel with gar
nets. jester's cap and bells are seasonable
designs
The scarfs themselves are like the grass
of the field that to-day is and tomorrow is
cast into the oven. They are of the most
delicate and soilable shades Of light blue and
drab. The clerks have to put on kid gloves
to handle them, perhaps.
