Mr.. Gladstone has declined to stand
for reelection in the Midlothian dis
trict, and there is no doubt that he
will retire from parliament at the end of
this session, but he does not say SO.
He has been SO long accustomed to

terms in correspondence that his dcclin-

would be no prohibition against his
nomination If he were younger man,
yet there is no probability that he will
be again called upon to serve his coun-

St. Clotilde IL Ruin.

Minneapolis, July 2o.-At IL o'clock
this morning fire was discovered in the
rear end of st. Clotilde church, Eleventh
avenue north and Lyndale, and within
two hours the structure was u total
wreck. The fire is supposed to have
caught from lamp kept burning all the
time in a small tabernacle behind the
altar. The church was built in 1884 ut
a cost of $4,000. The furnishings cost
about $4,000 more, so the loss by the fire
will amount to at least $4,000. There
is insurance ON the building amounting
to $4,000.
