A Boston Clergyman who Has Decided 10

A GREAT TIMBER FIRE.
New Jersey Forest Lands swept by Flames
for Three DAYS.

New Jersey Forest Lands swept by Flames
for Three Days.
One OF the largest and most destructive fires
ever known in that section has been burning in
valuable timber district near the line of the
kichland and Tuckahoe railroad, ten miles west
OF Mays Landing. N. j., for three days past.
1t is estimated that the fire has burned over a
tract of land nearly ten miles long and several
miles wide, and thousands of acres Of valuable
timber have been destroyed, or SO badly burned
and charred as to be worthless.
1t is not known how the fire was started, but
it Is believed to have been caused by settlers
who were clearing land at one Of the new set
Elements in the vicinity. A strong wind which
has been blowing for several DAYS kept the fire
burning hard night and day. The timber is al
dry as finder, owing to the continued drought
there having been no rain Of any amount for
weeks. Attempts to fight the fire are useless
as the heavy wind carries the sparks several
hundred yards.

ALEXANDRIA.
STREET LINES AND SURVEYS.


With the increased value of real estate and
town lots here has come the revision of lines
and with it all the difficulties that grow from
new surveys where the basis Of old lines has
been lost. IL was found early in the history of
the town that some Of the squares were too
long and others too short of the standard of
$50 feet on the north and south squares and
2 $40 on the east and west squares. 1t may
be stated that it is now impossible to get an
original case for any survey Of any of the old
squares of the city, and the attempt of success
i've city surveyors to give party lines different
from those which have existed or been acted
upon for three-quarters OF a century or more
has always resulted in a middle.
COUNTY AND CORPORATION COURTS.
The Alexandria county court, Judge Chi
chester, is now in session at the Columbus street

and qualified a. guardian Of the minor children
of W. y. Gray. A. W. Armstrong is appointed
committee in charge of the estate Of X. NJ.
Hatch, lunatic. The will Of Mrs. Mary C. Rob-
inson. giving her estate to her husband. was
Med for probate. The criminal case against
Charles Greene, colored, for stealing a COW
and the civil suit of Boswell vs.. Duncan have
been postponed until the next term of the court.
The corporation court made y decree cor
recting deed in the case Of Laphen vs.. Pres
tons heirs. In this singular case the property
had been since 1915 decided in several TRANSACT
tons under bonds which converted not the
actual property but the adjoining lot instead.
This the court corrected by deed.

LOWELl'S KINDNESS.
Story Illustrating His Feelings Toward
Young Writers.

One of James Russell Lowell's most
amiablc characteristics was the kindli-
ness of his feeling toward young writ
ers. \ writer in Harper'S Weekly
gives story of his genial courtesy:
On Sunday evening many years ago
a young man drove through the
hlr. Lowelrs residence. He was not
familiar with the region, and failed to
recognize the landmarks.
As he passed a corner of the college
grounds he saw gentleman walking
with little girl along the sidewalk,
and stopped his buggy to make in
quiry.
Can you tell me-" he asked, where
Prof. Lowell lives?"
Il can show you his house." the gem
tieman answered, but he is not at
home now"
Il must wait" said the questioner.
IF miss him tonight l cannot see
him for many months"
The gentleman spoke a few words
to the child, who left him and went
on alone. Then he turned and beck
oned TO the occupant of the vehicle.
VINO, after conventional protest about
giving trouble, was glad to accept
the proffered assistance.
Il presume YOU are acquainted with
Mr.. Lowell" he remarked "since YOU
say he is not at home?"
i may consider myself acquainted
with him." was the response. NV
name is Lowell"
a relative, no doubt" thought tho
young man. He was misled by the
answer, and did not imagine that in
this unexpected way he had encount-
cred the very person he was seeking.
Il have never met him." he said
aloud, land | may be wrong in calling
so unceremoniouSly Perhaps YOU
know him well enough to tell me if he
would be willing to receive contri-
butor to the Atlantic Monthly who
has had no time to ask for an inter-
view"
You misunderstood me-" the sup
posed kinsman replied Il am Prof.
Lowell. l shall be happy to see you
as soon as we get to light. Will YOU
tell me who you are?"
The visitor was taken bv surprise
and was somewhat confused. To his
apology alr. Lowell replied: Il was
going with my daughter to a friends
house, but she does not need me nor
does anybody there. | think YOU do.
II l may say il. now that | have heard
your name. / bad it on my mind to
write you, but this is 22uch better"
