The old Burrows * Prettyman build
log in Davenport, now belonging to the
Rhodes d Grey estate and occupied by
the Diamond Jo offices, was badly dam
aged by fire Saturday sigat. The fire
was evidently of incendiary origin, and
when discovered the entire rear part OF
the building was ablaze from ground to
roof. The lower story was used by the
Adams Home Furnishing company as a
storehouse. and the company estimate
the loss from fire aud water as in the
neighoorhood of $1,000 Insurance to
the amount of 81 900 is he'd in the Mis-
sissippi Valley Manufacturers Mutual. of
this city. The second floor was occupied
by the Davenport Mattress company, and
their entire stock valued al $500, was a
total loss and was uninsured. The fire
was beyond control before the alarm was
sent in and the firemen had an uphill
fight from the first.

No More Srmaphor.s

The Burlington road at andened its sys.
tenn Of semsphores as a failure and the
semsphores have all been ordered discon>
tinued except at few special points on
the st. Louis division and main line.
TrainDen have been instructed that the
rules OF the transportation depar tment
will hereafter govern the guarding of sta,
ton trains. This briefly means a return
to the old system of tagging, or having
brakeman 2.G00 feet behind a train.
The reason for the chang is represented
to be that the semaphores are expensive,
that they are hard to keep in repair, that
they are somewhat complicated and likely
to get out of fix. and altogether are a
source of trouble and annoyance out OF
proportion to their usefulness.

Rev. j. II. Kerr giving his second lecturs
IN the series. The subject was the "UnItv
Relations Of the Old Testament Books.
and the lecture was devoted to q cousid-
Grafton Of the historical books. These
cover the time OF the uniting Of the old
testament. and into them it the poelicsl
aud propheucal. Rev. Kerr took up the
booksin order beginning with q .nesis aud
speaking briefly regarding the name aud
period OF time covered by each. lie
sketched the historical contents OF each,
showing how one supplemented and added
to the the other. making q cham IN
broken from Adam 10 the return from
Bsbylonish captivity.
Ihe historical contents shows the prep.
sration OF the world for the appearance
Of the Messiah. who came 10 the fullness OF
time. showing the need of mankind for
the Saviour aud the carrying out OF
Gods purpose in the calling and preser-
walton OF Israel through whom Christ
came. Another evidence of unity OF the
old testament books IL in the fact that
together and individually they form in
their subject matter the basis for the new
testament. The new would be uninteilig-
ible except for the old and IL rests i,s
truth on being fulfllment and unfold
ing Of the old testament. Still another
ground for unity is that each separate
book teaches some truth that man must
learn. Many interesting points were
brought out 10 the lecture showing much
careful preparation, and familiarity with
the subject. The lecture was followed
by the usual time for questions. Rev.
Kerr lectures on the new testament next
Sunday. He will devote the time pariic-
ulary to the epistles. emitting III. gospels

MR. CARyEGIES SHORT TEXT.

A short letter from Andrew Carnegie which
has been published in Canada contains as much
truth as can be condensed into the compass OF
seven printed lines 1t was not written for po-
litical effect but in answer TO a business propo-
sition regarding the establishment OF smelling
works in Hamilton, Ontario Mr.. Carnegie re-
piled: "When the foreign colony OF Canada
recognizes its destiny and becomes part OF
the American Union, ii will be time enough to
consider the investment Of capital there by
Americans This natural union Of the English
speaking people of the American Continent would
double the value of everything in Canada, in
Guiding the men of Canada" These sententious
words were not written by an enemy either OF
Canada or of England, but by man of shrewd
Scotch intelligence, who dscerned the move
ment of economic forces on the American Con-
tinent lie expressed in practical way the re-
luctance Of American capitalists to make invest
ments in Canada 50 long as political system
was maintained by which the order Of nature
was blocked and the growth and industrial pros
perity Of the country retarded
1t is not, perhaps singular that the ruling po-
litical class in Canada close their eyes to the
truth. They have special interest in the
maintenance of the Confederation since they are
in the civil service and monopoze the business
OF governing the Provinces. What is remark
able is that the masses of the Canadian popula-
ton do not discern the sacrifices which they are
making in supporting their political leaders in a
general policy opposed to the natural force of
economic gravitation. When Mr. Carnegie calm
" says that the union of the Englsh-s speaking
people of the continent would double the value
Of everything in Canada he cannot be contra
dicted with any semblance of reason. The from

BUcKSpORT MUSICAL TROUBLES.

II is unfortunate that the usual Christmas
Eve celebration at Bucksport, New-Jersey, should
be given I'D, but if the account printed in The
Bucksport Patriot and Weekly Freeman" is to be
relied on, such would seem to be the case For
wears Bucksport has had Christmas tree at the
Methodist Church, with singing Rotations and
so forth by the children and young folks, and it
will be too bad if all of this has to be dropped
simply because Superintendent Hersey and Miss
Bean have different ideas in regard to the music

conflict of authority between Mr.. Hersey and

mas celebration but Miss Bean claims authority
in all matters relating TO music in the church at
any time. Mr.. Hersey himself is a musician of no
mean ability. OF course Miss Bean understands
music thoroughly. She plays the organ in the
church and sings by note" either alto or
soprano as the occasion demands. The trouble
arose with the fact that the pastor of the church.
the Rev Mr. Docs is a poet and had written the
words of song for the infant class TO sing Mt the
Christmas entertainment. The reverend gentle
man, though fine poet is no musician and he an-
nounced that he would leave the providing Of
tune for his song 10 Mr. Hersey and
Miss Bean. Mr.. ileney Immediately took
the matter in hand and soon announced that the
pastors song would be sung TO the tune of I'm in
the Mbrning.' Miss Bean promptly called his
attention TO the fact that the tune did not flo
