On Canal street east of Bourbon the
fire met an impossible barrier in the
massive building which adioins Worlin's,
and though the roof of all the stores com
prising the row were more than once aiire
the flames could make no progress against
the sturdy masonsy The new Coshopol-
itan hotel and the adjoining structures
which front on Royal street, just off
Canal, and run back into the center block,
caught fire in the rear and it required the
utmost efforts on the part of the firemen
to save them.
The promptness with which the various
electric currents running through the
heart of the city were shut off prevented
fatalities, and the only accident noted is
the injury to fireman caused by the fly
ing debris.

Mrs. H. T. Darnall, who has been an

be in very precaTious condition.
She was unconscious all of last night,
failing to recognize any of the near and
dear ones who watched by her bedside.
She was rational for a short while this
morning, however, during which interval
she talked calmly with her husband of
the end which she felt was near, express
ing a preference in the minor details of
all which was to follow.
Her eldest son is studying in Germany
and has not been communicated with.
Mr.. viii Darnall, who is at Lexington
attending the Washington and Lee uni
vers!ty, was summoned home by a tele-
gram this morning.
Mrs Durnall is much beloved in this
community for her gentle christian char
acter and womanly virtues. All who
know her personally or otherwise will be
sorry to learn Of her illness and unite
with THF GLOBE in wishing that she may
pull through despite the apparent odds
against hCr recovery.

saw a pretty sight in Central park the
other day. The entrance 20 the swanboat
pavilion was choked with benches, and it
was evident that some unusual call upon
the fleet had been made. Most Of the
boats were out Of sight, bat after awhile
there came a 1eet Of them down the tiny
lake, and such flock of happy little ones
as filled them you seldom saw upon that
sheet Of water.
In each boat were one or more pleasant
faced ladies keeping the little ones in check
and pointing out 10 them the beauties Of
the sail. They were very quiet for chill
dren. but waved their hGndkerchiefs at
each other and were evidently having a
royal and unusual time.

the school founded and maintained by Pro-

very poor. Their parents had no time for

education. God bless such schools as thesel
