Fire at the Grand Central.

On Saturday afternoon, the furnace fire, which had gone out during the warm spell, was re-lighted. About II p ID, Mir Braunies, the bar tender, smelt pine burning, but thought it was the kindling with which the fire was started. Sunday morning, smoke was seen issuing from the cold air register in the hall. w. H. Hubbell was sitting in the hotel office waiting for his family to come out of church and he directed and assisted in tearing down the partition between the barroom and furnace room. Fire was found and put out. But, later, as there were still indications of fire, the furnace was moved away and immediately the flames leaped out. 4 hose had been used to fill tank in the office and was still attached to force pump in the back yard over large cistern. This was put through a rear window and, in less time than it takes to write it, a stream was playing on the fire, which was soon ex- tinguished. Then the cause of the fire was plain. The furnace was set on bricks, the bricks resting on floor. The bricks were about half an inch apart and as the furnace grate was broken, fire fell down, ,the bricks were overloaded and the pine fired. The floor under the fur mace was entirely burned away and large beam on which the floor rested was entirely consumed for about four feet. Mir Houlihan watched, Sunday night, but no more fire showed itself. Thanks are due to W. H. Hubbell, L. c. Morris and number of firemen for their prompt and hearty assistance.

We desire to say to our citizens, that tor years we have been selling Dr Kings New Discovery for consumption, Dr Kings new life pills, Bucklens arnica salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as we'll, or that have giveni such universal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time. and we stand ready to refund the purchase pliee, Ii satis- factory results do not follow their use.

The warm breath of Spring we scent in the
 breeze; The robins and blue birds sing now in the
 trees. The naples hang out their pennants of red And the long willow tassels wave over our
 heads. The crocus and daffodn now may be seen Coming out the brown earth in their new
 coats of green; While the turtles and frogs, that long silent
 have been, Are piping now loudly, in swamp and in
 glen. Old Mother Earth's putting on her green
 gown, In place of her old faded one of dull brown, And she's calling her children, from out the
 brown mold, To come forth in garments fair to behold. All Nature revives in the warmth ot the
 Spring; And the seeds that we SOW may a glad har-
 vest bring.-[Plattsvi1le

Cardinal Gibbons Gives His Reasons for
Favoring 1t.
Mr.. j. r. Thompson, secretary ofthe World 3
Fair Sunday Opening Association, has received
the following letter from his eminence Cardinal
Gibbons of Baltimore:
CARDINALS RESIDENCE, November Is.
Mr.. j. r. Thompson:
Respected Sir: A quiet opening of the Chicago
fair next year seem to be most desirable.
There are many who would be otherwise
deprived of the privilege Of beholding what
promises to be the event Of the century. The
worlds fair will gather together the most won
derful productions OF human skill and in
genuity, the results of the evolutions and
progress Of ages. No one should be prevented
from seeing these works Of man and every oppor-
tunity should be afforded. The Sunday closing
of this spectacle would be very unfortunate for
many thousands OF our countrymen who would
be tempted to spend the day in dis
sipation- In their name l would favor the
opening OF the fair Sunday afternoons to
evening, with the provisions that all machinery
should be stopped and all mechanical and labor
ing work that will not be urgently necessary
should cease. In this do not see any desecra-
ton of the holiness of the day; on the contrary
those who will visit the fair on these DAYS will
be surely inclined to raise their minds and
hearts to Him who inspired men to produce
such things.
l am very faithfully yours in Christ

SENATOR PALMER'S VIEWS.
Last Winters Policy Was Wise and Helpful
to the Party.

to the Party.
Senator Palmer of Illinois reached Washing
ton last night He speaks with great deal of
reserve about the situation. He says that he
thinks that the policy followed by the demo-
Gratis on the tariff question last winter
vas very wise and was helpful to the
party during the campaign. and that they
should go ahead now With the revision of the
tariff. IL the democrats can reach agree
ment which will be carried out defining just
what shall be done at an extra session he Is in
favor of getting Congress together as soon as
possible after the new administration comes
into power. He thinks. however, that a
protracted extra session. with all sorts OF
legislation struggling for place, would be far
from desirable. His idea is that if an agree
ment could be reached to that purpose it would
be a good thing for Congress to meet in the
spring to form the committees which will have
charge OF the preparation of the work of the
Congress and TO admit into the Union the terri
tories entitled TO statehood.
He said that there a good deal Of talk
about President Cleveland's cabinet. but that
he did not think am one had any information
as to how il would be formed. Two or three
Illinois gentlemen were spoken of. but he could
not say whether that state would have place
