tically worthless that it was abandoned
by its last owner, has just been sold TO
satisfy mortgage. The Sentry was

JUNG Meeting al Billlngs Park.

1t is assured beyond all question,
by the entries received aud advertised,
that the people of the Connecticut Val
ley will have an opportunity to witness
the fastest racing contests ever adver-
tised in Vermont or New Hampshire.
The star attraction of the meeting
will. of course, be the peerless Martha
Wilkes, record 2.0S. The season of
1892 is a memorable one in the trot-
ting annals of this country, and no
performance helped to make it so more
than that of Martha Wilkes, whose
three heats in PIP, 2.l0 and 2.09 1-2
made her the Race Queen of the trot-
ting turf not even Nancy Hanks rec
ord of 2.04 made in an exhibition race
against time, can eclipse this wonder
full performance in hard-lought race
with the fastest campaigners of the
Grand Circuit.
Martha Wilkes will 20 directly
from White River Junction TO the
Grand Circuit meeting at Detroit,
Mich. She is entered IN all the Grand
Circnit events Of the coming season,
and that in Budd Doble's hands she
will break the fastest trotting record is
predicted by her friends. She will be
shown fast mile each day OF the
meeting at Billings Park.
With total entry of over eighty in
six classes, the purse events at this
meeting must be of decided interest to
the lover Of the horse. This is GER
tainly the red letter meeting of the
season in this section. Reduced rates

All Jewish writers agree in one thing
viz, that the rhinoceros lived through
the food without entering the ark. Some
declare that Noah dashed the creatures
horn fast to the side of the vessel; others
that the head of the huge beast was ad-
mitted, the legs and body being left in
the water. Some even assert that the
Holy Land escaped the general deluge.
and that the rhinoceros' superior reason
ing faculties caused him to select that
country as haven Of refuge.-St. Louis

Well Born Youths Who Used to Be Mon

The Marquisd de Chanaleilles was one of
Louis XVIIrs pages. The other two still
surviving are the Marquis de Casteja and
Count de Marbles, who is as hale and
hearty as Marshal MacMahon and about
the same age. The pages Of Louis XVIII
were 20 in number and named by the
king before the revolution. A youth to
be admitted as page into the royal house
hold had to prove IS generations of no
bility on each side, making !. quarters.
But after the re,olution the ratherskep-
teal and freet.nking king whom Wat
erloo setup at the Tnileries thought four
quarters on the paeernal side enough.
The page had to enter at the age of and
to spend three years in special school,
on leaving which he drew a salary, had a
uniform and duties to discharge about
the kings person and at grand functions.
At the age of II he entered cavalry
regiment as a cornet.
Pages in the period of their service
were carefully taught how to ride, fence,
dance and become snowy officers. Later
in life NJ. de Chanaleilles attended as
page the coronation of Char and en-
tered guard regiment. W weeks
subsequent to that even .le pla ed the
French flag on the quay of Algiers a few
weeks before the revolution = 1880.
Louis XVIII lost the use of lis limbs in
exile and required fleet footed ages
around him to fetch and carry. Boy at
tendants always accompanied him when
he went out in his bath chair or in his
carriage, which, to give him exercise,
was not hung on springs behind, but
made to jolt there The front seats were
more comfortable.
Two pages rode on horseback. A cou-
pie stood on the steps-one on each side
of the carriage. When they were tired,
those behind changed places with them.
They wore sky blue tunics, cooked hats
and had gold buttons on their uniforms
ornamented with the royal arms. The
whole 20 attended at the Sunday recep-
tons held by the king after mass at the
Tuileries. The last old page who died
before NJ. de Chanaleilles was Comte de
Rouge. He died at the age of s0.-Paris

days after the great conflagration. the
fire is still burning. There Is no danger
of another outbreak. but all over the
thirty blocks of charred brick and
smouldering timber. from Front street
north to the Great Northern depot,
flames are still shooting up twenty feet
into the air. One hundred tons of coal
stored near the latter building have been
burning furiously ever since the out
break, and are still blazing vigorously.
At daylight this morning forces of
men were put to work on the
ruins wherever practicable, remov-
ing the safes and whatever of value
might remain in the cellars of
the burned banks. 1t is greatly feared
that most of the contents of the safes
have been destroyed. The fire was so
intensely hot that two Of the safes al
ready taken out were found to have
nothing IN them but ashes. The bank
OF E. Ashley Mears is utterly destroyed,
and it is believed that all the banks

fate. The United States bank examiner,

VS.. Annie NJ. Doolittle, Or Miss Murphy,
as she is better known to the bankers in
great many states, came on for trial IN
the district court today. The defendant
is fair adventures, daughter of an ex-
state senator, who obtained S1,500 from
st. Cloud banks last year, and, after
several months, was arrested in Ala
bama, brought back to Minnesota, and
indicted for forgery and larceny by
the grand jury here at its recent ses-
sion. The entire forenoon was con-
sumed in obtaining jury. The prosecu-
tion introduced agreat deal of evidence
this afternoon tending to prove that Miss
Murphy uttered forged check of. the
Bank of Commerce, Tacoma, drawn on
the Chase National bank, of New York,
for S700, and cashed by the First Ma
ton bank of st. Cloud, and all $500
similar draft paid by the German-Amer

of the Tacoma bank, whose
signature was the one forged,
and an important witness for the state,
refused to come to Minnesota to testify.

The Burned District.
A survey of the burned district makes
it apparent that no more complete de-
struction could have occurred. The
business portion of the city, half mile
long and several blocks wide, has been
literally swept clean. The handsomest
school building in the city, the North
Side school, is a wreck.
When the fire broke out the closing
exercises were in progress at this
school. The flames spread so rapidly
lllaC DeIOrc clUucT tHt tCdCuClo vi
scholars realized their aanger, the
dwellings round the school were on fire
and the wooden sidewalks were afiame.
Not until then was the assembly
dismissed. Terrible confusion fol-
lowed. Several hundred young chill
dren were compelled to cross the
burning walks to reach place of safety.
1t is nothing less than miraculous that
none were killed. Half an hour from
the time the building WAS vacated moth
ing remained OF it but the four walls.
Similar remarkable escapes are chron-
icled from dozen directions. If the
fire had occurred at night. hundreds of
lives would have been lost.
Along the four blocks covered by
machinery houses. the Minnesota
Threshing Machine company, the Plano
company and dozen other agricultural
concerns are the ruins of several hun
dred harvesters, threshihg machines,
mowers and traction engines. The area
