A Disastrous Fire.

McINDoEs, Aug. 16.-Fire started
in the box shop of the Connecticut
River Lumber company at l 80
o'clock this morning, and after burn
ing the shop the flames quickly spread
to the lumber piles containing from
four to five million feet of lumber.
Fire engines came from Barnet,
Woodsville, st. Johnsbury and Lyn-
donville, but were powerless to arrest
the flames, as pile after pile of dry
lumber was completely burned. A
house near by was badly scorched,
but was saved.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
1t was one of the largest this section
ever had. The lumber piles smould-
cred all day and tonight the great
lumber yard is mass of burning
Goals. The company has not estima-
ted its loss, but it will probably be
about 100000. Insurance, 100000.
The box shop will be rebuilt. The
company is one of the largest in
New England and has mills at six
points on the Connecticut river.

others report remarkable cures of scrofu-
la, salt rheum and other blood diseases,
still others will tell you that it overcomes
''that tired feeling" and so on. Truly,
the best advertising which Hoods Sarsa-
parilla receives is the hearty endorsement
of the army of friends it has won by its
positive medicinal merit.

Prussia and Holland Making Eyes at Each
Other While Europe Looks On.
BERLIN, MAY 31.-The festivities in honor Of
little Queen Wilhelmina and the queen regent,
Emma, Of Holland continued at Po.sdam to-
day. The kaiser led the Fourth Foot Guards in
parade before Queen Emma, who looked very
handsome in an attire of dark silk, with the
Prussian colors pinned to her bosom.
The kaiser stepped up to Queen Emma and
said, with a gallant bow: Il beg your majesty
TO accept the command of this regiment, Of
whose behavior, on the battlefield or in peace.
know you viii never have reason to be
ashamed
Queen Emma blushingly signifed her accept
ance Of the honor conferred upon her. Then
the kaiser and his guests returned to the palace,
the kaiser remaining all the time close to the
side Of the lovely widowed queen regent, who
is a good deal handsomer than the kaiserin. 1t
was noticed that Queen Regent Emma seemed
not at all averse to his attentions.
This Irritation between Prussia and Holland
is watched with good deal Of interest by the
Russian and French embassies, Queen Emma
being the virtual director Of the fortunes of
Holland during the minority of her daughter.
Every opportunity has been given for little
Queen Wihelmina to become acquainted with
the German crown prince, the future Emperor
William, should he survive his father. The
prince is ten years old and Wiihelmina nearly
twelve. They played together in front Of the
palace this morning and then went out riding
and seem to be on very good terms.
