FIRE BREAKS OUT AGAIN.

Another Blaze in the Churrucoa But it
is Quickly Extinguished.
Fire broke out again in the forward hold
of the Spanish steamship Churrucca at
Harmon's wharf yesterday morning. The
matches were battered down and an alarm
sent in for the department. An engine
and hose reel arrived on the scene and
soon eXtinguished it.
The blaze was seen in number of bales in
the lower hold which had not been smooth
cred in the previous fire and on breaking
out the cotton it developed again. Two
tugs, previous to the arrival of the de-
partment went alongside and rendered
their services which were refused. The
work of discharging the forward com
partment will probably be finished this
evening

A committee from the board OF man

George J. Mills. T. NJ. Cunningham, c. NJ
Hoist j. NJ. SolOmous, DR. William Dun

Dr. Duncan made statements in regard

ton, and showed the necessity for some
assistance. especially at the present time.
The institution was supported largely by
the income from $50, 900 worth of Central
securities, with which it has been en-
dowed, and which have so deprecated
that il finds it necessary to call for some
aid in order TO bridge over their financial
difficulty. The holdings of the hospital
were principally Augusta and Savannah,
Central and Southwestern stock and de-
bentures
The commissioners decided to postpone
the matter for a discussion at the regular
meeting when they will have a full board
Only Commissioners Charlton, Carson
and Dale were present at the meeting

ACCIDENT ON THE TYBEE ROAD
A Locomotive Breaks Down Twice and
Knocks Out the Schedule.

The engine drawing the 2;30 o'clock
train to Tybee yesterday afternoon blew
out a part of her machinery half way be-
tween the city and the island,
and over an hour was lost
in repairing the damage. The re-
suit was that the schedule was
entirely broken up and the usual G15
train did not leave the island. The en-
CINE which met with the accident was
attached back-end to the 9:30 o'clock
train from the island, but again broke
down at the Naylor House. This resulted
in another long delay and the train did
not reach the city until after midnight.

An On mixed Blessing.

There are many things in life that
are doubtful, and many things that
give but a poor return for what we
spend upon them; but I claim fol
the church that it is an unmixed
good, and that what it might dc
nothing could ever repay. 1t has the
promise Of the life that now is and
of that which is to come. It gives
the best OF counsel, the purest mo-
tives, the noblest ideals, the loftiest
aims, the tenderest consultations, the
brightest hopes, and the indebted.
ness of multitudes to it has been
simpl, unspeakable. What it has
done for Others it may do for yon;
what it has been in the past it still
may be, and more. But the blessing
can only come if you earn it, If you
consecrate yourselves afresh to ypuI
ideal, II you strengthen the thing:
that remain.

ATHLETICS IN GERMANY.
The Way the Young Emperor 10 Shocking

The Way the Young Emperor 10 Shocking
the Schoolmasters.
The German boy, up to his 18th or
10Th year. when he leaves school, is
looked upon merely as a machine for
grinding out Latin, Greek. and math.
ematics writes Poulteney Bigelow in
Harper's Magazine. II he hes in
each week two or three hours de-
voted to gymnastic exercises he con-
siders himself fortunate. 1t never
enters his head that he should spend
at least three hours day In outdoor
games Of some kind.
His teachers hold up their hands in
horror at the idea of devoting as
much attention to the physical cul-
ture Of their pupils as to the cram
ming OF their minds with dead
knowledge. Even my excellent Ger
man tutor, who fitted me for Yale,
and who was himself a teacher of
gymnastics, regarded it as monstrous
that boys should spend two or three
hours day in playing football or
rowing.
The whole professional caste Of
Germany loyal as it is to the Hohen-
zollerns, regards this Emperor with
ill-disgused surpicion, because of his
desire that the German school, boy
should be vigorous typical creature
as we'll as an educated one. The
drudgery OF the school-boy's life can
scarcely be credited by one who has
not lived it, and it is only because
the Emperor has suffered under it
that he Is so strong an advocate for
improvement
The injury to health, which is tho
direct result Of the unnatural life
led by the German boy, has become
strangely apparent in late years,
through published statistics; but even
without them the evils manifest
themselves to impartial eyes in the
difficulty of getting men of proper
build to I'LL the ranks of the officers
corps
If the War Department accomp-
fishes nothing more than to bring
pressure upon the academic bodies in
this one direction, it will have justi-
fled its existence, and If the present
Emperor should die having done
nothing greater than to leave every
school child the right to physical de-
velOpment as well as mental. he will
have earned the gratitude of every
mother and school child in the father.

Salmon Have Homes.

In their journey up the streams the
first run of fish push on rapidly to
the upper pools and head waters, one
vented by insurmountable falls, with
which most Of the Labrador streams
are we'll provided. Here fish have
been caught sixty miles above the
estuary before one has been taken in
tidal water. Some OF the former re-
main in the lower pools and are
joined by Others as the run pro-
crosses.
Why Is this? Have the fish any
remembrance Of where they spent
their youthful days, and remain there
while others pass them?
1t is now received as an undoubted
fact that every fish knows it's own
river, but go further than that, and
think every fish has a particular
place in the river where it wishes to
remain. Were all the salmon in the
Restigouche to push on to its head
waters would not the greater portion
OF the river be barren? The turmoil
of spawning time on the restricted
spawn beds, the turning over of the
newly laid ova, could only end in
wholesale destruction. Even under
present conditions, 1 am satisfied not

AS to the speed with which they
travel at times, have caught two
salmon with partly digested caplin
in them quite recognizable, and these
fish were caught sixty miles above
where the caplin is known to come.

He produced a Bank Of England note

and laid it on the table. "Bills," said
