empire continue to show the despair
and suffering entailed upon the poorer
classes by the scarcity of food. The
government is doing every thing in its
power to help the sufferers. AS already
stated, the Gar made large dona-

FIRE IN BROOKLYN.
Several People Believed to Have Per-
fshed In the Flames.

New York, Nov. 17.-Fire broke out
at 2:3O this morning in four-story
frame house in Brooklyn. When the
firemen arrived the building was filed
with smoke and flames, but the men
dashed in and aided number of people
to escape. The fire is still burning, and
it is impossible to learn whether or not
anyone is missing. 1t was reported at
first that seven lives were lost, but this
is thought to be exaggerated. 1t is
feared, however, that some persons may
have perished.

PennsyIyanIa at Gettysburr.

re Gettysburg Monument Commission,
which was organized under the provisions of
the act Of June Il, 1887, is closing up the work
which it has been performing so faithfully. 1t
is believed that every Pennsylvania Organiza-
tion which took part at Gettysburg has or will
soon have completed an appropriate memorial.
whose erection is under the supervision of this
commission. Much of the history of the regi-
ments Of Pennsylvania has been disclosed in
the dedications of these memorials on Pennsyl-
yania day and Pennsylvania Reserve day. To
gather together in worthy form in a single
volume, illustrated with Autographs Of the
monuments erected by the various PennsyIya-
MIA organizations, would be a work involving
much time and labor, but the result would be
q striking monument to the devotion to coun-
try and home OF the representatives of the
Keystone State, aud such movement should
receive encouragement. 1t is possible that the
commission may crown its laboFs with this
lasting tribute.
