WAR ON A KIRMESS.
Ministers Denounce a Church Festival and
 Cause a Stir.


 GREENsBURG, Pa, Jan. 15.-A church war has been inaugurated here, and it is now developing into a serious affair. The members of the Episcopal church, of which Rev. Dr. Fidler is the rector, will give kirmess festival in the church next week, and elaborate preparations are being made for the affair. Some of the minis ters of the other churches referred to it in their sermons and startled their congre- gations by roundly denouncing the pro posed entertainment The scandalous skirt dances and other questionable ca pers of the ancients, they said, should not be tolerated in civilized society, least of all in Christian church societies.
 The pastor of the United Brethren church, Rev. MT. Funk, stated to his flock that he did not approve of the entertainment, and he added that he hoped none of the mem- bers of his church would patronize or coun- tenance the performance, and if any of them persisted in doing so their names would be promptly stricken from the mem bership rolls. The Methodist minister, Rev. MT. Wilburn, was equally emphatic in his expression of the same sentiments on the subject.
 Meantime the good folks in the Episco- pal church are simply stunned by the stir that their proposed entertainment has made in religious circles, but as they insist that the exhibition will be perfectly pure and blameless they are not likely to be scared out of foregoing the festival for which they have been making elaborate preparations.

LOOKS DARK FOR MELLO.
Brazilian Insurgents Sustain Defeats and
 Abandon BaEe.

Abandon Bage.
 RIO DE JANEIRo, Jan. 15.-News was re- ceived in this city from the south of character most encouraging to the Brazil ian government and disheartening to the insurgent admiral. It was to the effect that the long expected and much relied upon re-enforcements from Santa Gather Ina are unlikely to give anything like prompt assistance to their fellow insur- gents who are now in the Rio harbor. In fact it now looks as if the revolutionary leaders at Santa Catherina would be un- able to lend any aid to Admiral da Cana.
 The serious illness of Admiral de Mello on board the Republica has had an ap- parently disastrous effect upon the insur- gent forces in the southern part of the re- public. In Rio Grande do Sul the insur- gents have raised the siege of Bage and have left that city in triumphant possession of the government garrison. In number of other engagements in the south the revolutionists have suffered defeat, and many of De Mello's men have been wound ed or killed.
 Unless De Mello rapidly recovers from his illness and is able by his presence to reanimate his men the outlook for the in- surgents is very dark indeed. Discomfort is said to prevail to large extent in their ranks, and assertions are said to be nu- merous. Fever is also thinning the in- surgent army. Unless something be quick ly done De Mello will lose fully one-half of his entire force in the south.
 It is very probable that this news will lead to greater activity than ever on the part of Peixoto, and that battle between his troops and the insurgent squadron and forts of decisive character will be fought within very short time. The inhabitants ID I the epidemics now raging here make the desire for restoration of peace all the stronger on the part of the citizens gen. erally

Three Hundred Died In the Temple.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.-The Pacific Mail steamship City of Peking brought de tails from Ningpo of one of the most terri ble fires on record, which occurred in the big temple in that city on Dec. 8 and caused the death of nearly 300 women and chil- dren. The annual theatrical performance in honor of the gods was being given in the temple. A boy threw lighted ciga- rette into heap of straw, which blazed up, and the burning staircase prevented the people from getting out. There was a general rush to escape. Some were trampled to death, others jumped out of the windows and were either killed or so badly injured they were unable to escape the flames and so perished, while others passively awaited their fate, which was not long in overtaking them, and they were roasted alive or suffocated by the cD1Ola

How to Put Away and Care For Summer
 EinerY.


 All fine wash materials must be rough dried, then folded neatly and packed ill box or trunk by themselves. It is best they be mended first. Challies, cre- pons and summer silks should be care- fully shaken and brushed, spots spong ed, bows of ribbon taken off and un made if possible, or the dust wiped off with a bit of silk dipped in weak am- monia water, and packed away in sep- arate boxes. This should also be done to lace. If washable, it should be so treated; ; if not, dust we'll and wind about bot tie or wooden roll. Air the dresses all of sunny morning, hanging wrong side out. If yard is not convenient, hot room is a good substitute. Rumpled ruches, bent bones, worn shields, should all be taken out and the waist Things brushed in all seams with cologne and water. Remove all feathers and flow CTS from hats, putting in tissue paper so as not to mash. Pull out all leaves of the flowers, and before using them again breathe on them. Parasols should be carefully dusted, rolled and put in a loose slip cover. If gauge, put in some safe place and occasionally opened to alter the folds.

ATTACK OUR CRAUNCEY
MT. Depew Made Some Enemies
 While He Was In Rome.
HIS INTERVIEW IS CRITICISED

Tue Great New Yorker Says the Harsh
 Comments Concerning His Account of
 His Interview With the Pope Arc Un-
 Just-Refused Railroad Passes In France.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The Herald today publishes the following attack on MT. De pew as sent from Rome:
 Mr. Chauncey M. Depew's extraordinary expressions of opinions on his visit to Rome in the form of an interview in New York paper have just reached here, he having flooded the town with marked copies of the journal. It may interest MT. Depew seems so proud of and so anxious to dis seminate, have not made him popular. % It is almost incomprehensible to the best classes of people here that an educated man should give vent to expressions so crude, puerile and inaccurate as he has done. His heavy buffoonery falls flat.
 That Audience With the Pope.
 MT. Depew's statement that the pope gives no private audiences to laymen or to private persons, but made an exception in the case of tho great Chauncey, is ridicu- lous. The pope receives private persons daily at private audiences At the same time the pope had no idea that MT. Depew was going to use the audience to puff him. self. People in Rome are still laughing at the elation of Mr. Chauncey M. Depew. After he was received by the pope he rushed round excitedly, buttonholed all he met and poured forth the tale into their ears. He became one of the jokes of the moment.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.-From the statement of The Examiners Honolulu correspondent there is a prospect that United States officials either at Honolulu or in the United States may have to an- swer to the charge of breaking faith with President Dole It is said that Minister Willis grew impatient at Dole's delay in formulating his reply to Willis demand of abdication and urged greater haste, where upon Dole called upon Willis and frankly admitted he did not propose to submit his reply unti! the arrival of vessel on which it could be dispatched simultaneously with the departure of the Corwin.
 Thereupon Willis agreed that the Cor win should carry the dispatches of the pro- visional government Dole then hurried forward his reply and sent it to Willis, who dispatched the Corwin early next morning. It transpires that no dispatches were delivered by the Corwin to Hawaiian representatives in California
 The Examiners correspondent also says Liliuokalani's death from heart disease is liable to occur at any moment. Smothering g spells have come upon her with alarming frequency of late. Visitors are prohibited, and every precaution is taken to prevent excitement. Threats against her life have greatly added to her trouble.

A SMALL INFERNO.
An Acre of Turning GInders Which Send
 Forth Deadly GAses


 Forth Deadly Gases.
 PoMERoY, O., Jan. l5.-The dead man found in d bed of burning cinders at Cliff ton, w. Va, is thought to be Henry Wal tonbrinck of Coal Valley, AlIeghany coun- ty, Pa.

It is 16 feet thick, with thin crust through which the flames burst out and light up the town at night. The gases from it make life 8 misery to the inhabitants. It has been burning since last April, having been started by great confagration then, and at times it has seriously impeded travel on the Ohio River railroad by undermining the track.
