The Conquerors.

John Wananaker has Just imported, at
great cost, Pierre Fritel's great picture, The
Conquerors, the one that was the sensation
of the Paris Salon of 1892.
The immense painting is about aoz3s feet
in size. It represents the couquerors Of the
nations marching steadily towards the spec
tator. In the centre of the group Julius
Cesar sits on black steed. To mis- left rides
Alexander in a chariot while on his right IS
the grim figure Of Sesostris, the Egyptian
On the secoud line Is the figure of Napoleon
mounted on a white steed.
In the background are also represented
Alcibiades, Attila, Tsmerlane, Nebuehadnez-
Ear and Chsrlemague. The group tapers off
into the distance, showing a eonglomerate
mass of spears and banners.
On either side extends their proud arrav
of trophies, the naked dead, laid along in
horrid rows, their feet turned to the implaca
BILE victoTs.
The picture is on free exhibition at wana-
makers.

Galena, Nd, Burned.


What was the business centre of Galeua
the third largest and most prosperous town
in Kent county, is now a mass Of shoulder
ing ruins, and 20 business places and resi-
denees are burned to the ground The az
eregate loss is between SIS, 600 and $50, 900.
The FIRE is possibly the most extensive which
has ever occurred in Kent county.
The FIRE originated at 7 O'Clock. a. M, from
defective hue in the kitchen Of the resi-.
deuce of Henry Parr, situated in the south
ern or business section of the town. Mrs.
Pafr left the breakfast table TO 20 to the
kitchen, and discovered the room in blaze,
The town was immediately aroused by the
ringing of bells. The FIRE spread with alarm
ing rapiditY.
The only wateT-supplY was from the wells.
Assistance was teleRraphed for to Chester
town, bnt that town has no engine which
could be Of use. Middletowu, Del, was next
applied to, but could give no assistance in
the absence Of wster-supply in Galena. No
assistance could be got from Clayton, Del.
Finally Wilmington was requested. to send
down FIRE engines by special train. But by
the time the despatch reached Wilmington
the ere was under control and the call was
countermanded. The telephone instruments
were burned in the drug store of Mrs. Ire
land. and messengers had to be sent to Lam
bsou's Station, the nearest telegraph Office,
thus causing the delay in asfug for assis-
tauce.
While the IRE was at its heig bit flames were
discovered issuing from the rsar Of the hard
ware store Of W. T. WOOD, some distance
away. This was in ths/ very heart of the
business block, and w5s located in a position
supposed to be safe. when the ere broke

The Comfort of Giving.


A minister tells an instructive story
about giving. In one of his charges a
good man regularly contributed every
Lords day FIVE dollars for the support OF
Church, snd as regularly a poor widow
put in five cents, all she could spare, as
she supported herself and SIX children
by taking in washing. One day the
former came to the minister and said
that the latter ought not to pay any:
thing, and that he would pay the five
cents for her every week. The minister
called to fell her of this offer, which he
did as delicately as he could. What
was her reply as the tears started to her
eyes7 "Do they want to take from me
the comfort 1 experience in giving to the
Lord2 Think how much 1 owe to him +!
My health is good, my children keep
we'll, and I receive 80 many blessings
that feel could not live if did not
make my little Offering to Jesus each
week." How few can read this simple
narrative without feeling rebuked for
their insensibility to Gods exceeding
goodness.-7he Treasury.
