SPRAY OF THE

A number of members of the Knights
Of Pythias of this city will go to Sand
Coulee next Saturday to institute a new
lodge of that order.
1t is reported that a company of Great
Falls capitalists will soon be incorpo,
rated for the purpose of bottling and
handling the waters of the recently dis
covered bi-chloride of gold spring in the
Little Rockies.
A report reached the city yesterday
that between five and six feet of snow
have fallen along the line Of the Great
Falls & Canada railroad between Leth'
bride and Sweet Grass. Heavy storms
have been raging in that locality for the
past twenty-four hours, and all trains
on the road are abandoned.
The TRIBUNE is in receipt Of Huntley
Il Clark's illustrated annual containing
a catalogue of standard and other choice
bred stock at River Side Stock Farm
near Toston, on the Missouri river. The
annual contains 1913 pages devoted to de
scriptlons and pedigrees of animals rails

ners off the coast in thick weather. The
old house is in the hamlet of Center
Groton, about four miles east of New
London, and for several years a nautical
school was taught there, at which more
han 200 New England boys were fitted
for the navy.
The Daboll almanac for 1899 predicts
hot weather, beginning on June Is, and
IL great drouth till July l, then very
light showers only till the 18th and 10Th,

is to be hoped that "Old Daboll, as they

Philadelphia Visited BY One Of the
Most Extensive Fires
In Years.
The Grand Central Theatre. the Times
and Other Buildings
Destroyed.
Three Ballet Girls Reported Missing
Fifty Persons In

A Million Dollar FIRE.

PHILADELpHIA, April D. The most
sensational fire that has ever visited this
this city in yeas broke out tonight on
the stage Of the Grand Central theatre
and before it was gotten under control
nearly a million dollars worth OF proper
ty had been destroyed, including the
massive eight-story building oc-
cupied by the Times newspaper. There
was a panic in the theatre and nearly
fifty persons. mostly occupants of the
galleries, we're hurt, none, however, seri-
ously.
The Central theatre Is located on Wal
not street, between Eighth and Ninth.
in the most thickly settled portion of the
city, being surrounded by hotels. restau
rants, boarding houses, newspapers and
business houses. Immediately in the
rear of the theatre was the Times build
ing which faced SAMSON street. 1.-The
Devils Auction" was on the stage. Just
before 8 o'clock while the stage hands
we're lowering from the flies a portion of
the setting for the first scene, it became
~entangled in the border lights. In an
instant the tiimsy canvass was a mass Of
flames. Tongues of fire shot up to the
roof and blazing scenery fell to the stage
and in a short space of time the entire
rear portion of the theatre was a mass Of
fire.
The production requires the services
of a large number Of female choristers
and ballet dancers. All were, it is be-
ieved, gotten safely out. although there
is a report that three ballet girls are
missing.
During the panic behind the e a
scene of even more intense excitement
was being enacted before the footlights.
Everybody started for the exits. The
weaker ones were borne down and
crushed under foot. One individual
maddened and brutalized by the excite.
ment, drew a pocket knife and with il
cut his way through the mass of people,
Halt a dozen or more people were found
at the hospital who had been the victims
of his frenzy. In all tifty-two persons
were cared for at the two hospitals neal
the theatre. Everybody was outside
the burning structure within two min
utes from the time the fire started. Ar
alarm was promptly given and all the

German affairs that there is talk of his
return TO power. The latest pictures of
these two as presented here look familiar
enough, but it may excite surprise to
learn that the third is hal of the en-
peror of Japan.
His majesty, Mutsuhito. is. however,
really n man of more Importance for the
future than either of the others, for he
is in the midst of his great work. No
other country in the world probably has
made such swift advances in the past
twenty-five years as Japan, and it is
largely the work of this ruler. The Jap
anese were long ago called the yankees

model so rapidly that they are counted

They are indeed a peculiar people, and
among their many peculiarities not the
least is that they are the only nation in
the world practically without Il religion.

NEW ENGLAND'S ALMANAC MAKER.

Have Been Noted IN Weather Sharpe.
The New England Almanac and
Farmers Friend" has been issued an
nually since l772, and always by a Da-
boil. With very few exceptions the
calculations have beer made in the same
house, which is still in good repair and
occupied by David a. Daboll, grandson
of the Nathan Daboll who founded the
annual almanac.
New England is claimed by many as
the native place of the comic almanac,
for some folks reckon Ben Franklin's
Poor Richard" publication in that class,
and for two generations the New Eng
land almanac and the Bible furnished
the bulk Of the average Yankee farm
er's reading. Faith in the weather pre-
dictions was so strong that thousands of
farmers regulated their work thereby,
and about sixty years z this faith wa
confirmed III a very remarkable a
ner. By mistake snow was predicted
for July 4. There was a general
laugh, but the snow came-not much,
of course, but enough to excite general
amazement, and thereafter Dabolls pre-
dictions were gospel.
Nathan Daboll worked out the tables
and predictions and issued the first al
manac in 1112. He was professor of
mathematics at Plainfield academy and
author of the famous old "Dabolrs Arith-
metic." In 1918 his sen, Nathan, took
up the work and continued it till 1854,
when one of his six sons, David A., sue
ceeded him. They have always pur-
sued the same system. They have a
journal of the weather for two or three
generations past and a table of conjunc-
tons of SUM-, moon and planets. When
