advised the village constable to ring the
fire bell. The local volunteer fire com

brigade was also summoned from the
town Of Lynn Regis. The local brigade
could make but little impression on the
flames, which gained headway rapidly
The engine from Lynn, which came on
a special train, was more effective
Hundreds of people volunteered to as
sist in the work of extinguishing the
flames, for the Prince of Walesis very
popular on his estate. The flames Tor
an hour and half continued to gain
headway. For time 1t seemed as II
the building was doomed. Then grad
ually the fire yielded.
Fortunately the fire had started in the
upper part of the structure, and was
prevented from working its way down.
But the second and third floors, the
roof and much OF the valuable furni-
ture were destroyed and the rooms be-
low greatly damaged by water before
the fire was extinguished. The damage
amounts to eco, 1000. A spark from a
heating Gue appears to have caused the
fire. The Prince of Wales is on the
continent and his wife and two OF his
daughters are with the car and the
czarina, their aunt.

VERY UNIQUE
Minister Phelps Peculiar and Orig
inal Way Of
INTRODUCING AMERICAN
Meats and Indian Corn to the Attention
Of Berlners.
HE GIVES A DINNER

To q Number Of German Notables, and
Among the Luxuries Served Were Bacon
and Corn Bread.
BERLIN, Nov. 2.---Minister Phelps has
taken q peculiar and highly original
way OF introducing American meats ana
the great American staple, Indian corn,
10 the attention Of the Berliners and OF
Germany generally. He gave dinner
Saturday to number of German nota-
bilities and their wives, including Dr.
Miguel, minister Of finance; DR. DeBoet-
ticher, secretary of the interior and
number Of other leading men Of the
empire and Of Prussia.
The banquet included all the luxu-
ries OF the season. and was of the high
est order in every respect, but CHIEF ana
peerless among the danties from an
American point of view, was the bacon
and corn bread from America. Mr.
Phelps evidently has the benefit OF a
cook who could not be surpassed in Vir-
pinia in the art of making corn bread
toothsome, and all the German guests
unite in praise of the article as pre-
sented on Mr.. Phelps table.
DIR. Miguel made some earnest re-
marks in praise of both the bacon and
the corn bread, and said that hereafter
corn bread would be included among
the supplies from his personal table
What is more important was the state
ment that the German duties on Indian
corn would soon be removed, and Amer
lean corn bread fed to the German
army, thus rendering Germany inde,
pendent of Russian rye. Any action OF
this kind would need action on the part
Of the reichstag, which meets on the
nth instant and in which the question
Of commercial treaties and the removal
of duties will no doubt be discussed will

the price in London, which IS from AZ to so
