Jesus Christ an Anarchist.

Rev. James Kay Applebee, the famous
lecturer in an address at Kalamazoo
startled his hearers by announcing that he
was an anarchist and u socialist. He said
he was an anarchist because he believed in
individual rights in every man doing as
he pleased. so long as he did not interfere
with his neighbor. He was a socialist be-
cause he believed that every man who does
his best in the world should share et ually
In the wealth with all other men who do
their best, as no man can do more than his
best. He said that he believed that Jesus
was a socialist and an anarchist In his
time. The statement has caused much talk.

with the Flames.

Tho largest fires that have afflicted New
Orleans in half century ragged until mil
lions OF dollars worth of property had been
destroyed. The first consumed four cotton
presses occupying five squares. while the
second devastated six squares of residences
between First and Third and Magazine and
Laurel streets. The cotton fire originated
in some cotton lying on the sidewalk in
front Of the fre-proof press. it is thought
from a lighted cigarette thrown aside by a
careless passerby. The cotton was dry
and the flames had communicated to the
bales in the press almost before the alarm
had been given. Twenty or thirty thou
sand bales were in the press, and these
were entirely consumed. The next to go
was the shippers press. The fire spread
TO the cotton in that press, in which was
%, 900 bales, three-fourths Of which was
destroyed, and continuing southwark
burned the independent press, containing
between 1000 and 5, 900. all of which were
lost. Occupying the two squares below
was the Orleans press, the largest in New
Orleans, which held 80, 900 to 40, 900 bales,
all of which was destroyed. Here, under
the united efforts of the local department
and company telegraphed for from Mo-
bile, the fire was checked. Three fremen
were caught under falling wall and Sc
verely hurt. The loss was So, 900, 900 on
the cotton and $50, 900 on the presses.
The fire in the residence portion was dis
covered during the cotton fire and four
blocks of houses were destroyed one after

New York, April Ar. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review OF trade says; The business
outlook is distinctly improving. There has
come distinct increase In the marketing
OF manufactured products and greater ac-
tivity in many lines of domestic trade.
This Is in part due to more favorable
weather in most secti ions and the improved
condition OF country roads and to the pros
pect of an early spring. The manufactures
are doing well. speculation has not been
very active. Wheat has declined 2}sc, corn
&c, oil fraction and pork Csc per bbl
The decline In wheat Is mainly due to the
small foreign demand. western receipts
continuing large. AS the new cropdraw
nearer and the prospect is that IL will be
very large, price naturally tends downward.
Although cotton receipts have been some
what smaller than a year ago the pressure
of enormous stocks here and abroad have
caused a further decline OF Lice, Coffee
Is also &c lower. and the general tendency
of prices is toward lower level. But In
the iron trade bottom seems to have been
reached. Money markets throughout the
country are abundantly supplied, and
there Is no sense of anxiety manifested in
any quarter. The failure during the FIRST
quarter of 1889 were 1884 in tho United
States, against 3,5 As last year, and the
liabilities $39,2S4, $40, against S42, 1877. 631

states. but n great decrease at the west and
some decrease in every other section. The
business failures occurring throughout the
country during the last seven days number

year the figures were 243.
