ants much credit for the prosperous condi-

credit to their pastor for his courage and

during these remarks. Among the asso-
ciate workers present and who spoke were
Rev. VIM. S. Kelsey and Dea. Snow; also
Mr.. Moore, who is located here in charge
of the Kurn Hattin home for boys. The

Six Large Worlds Fair Buildings Burn
ed by an IncendiRry Fire Last Night.
The six largest buildings which formed
the boundaries of the court of honor of
the Worlds Fair at Chicago were burned
by an incendiary fire early last evening.
The buildings destoyed were the terminal
station, administration, manufactures, cleo
tricity and mining buildings, machinery
hall and agricultural building. The art
gallery, which has been rechristened the
Columbian museum, and the government
building were saved, together with the
minor buildings south of machinery hall
and the agricultural building.
The fire started almost simultaneously at
three points so selected as to afford the best
possible opportunity for the spread OF the
flames. The exhibits had been removed
so that the loss will not be large. Eighty
acres were burned over. One man was
killed and several injured during the fire.
Thousands witnessed the conhagration.

School Picnic.
An Interesting Occasion I'm the Old
Rockingham Church.

Rockingham Church.
The old church at Rockingham assumed
a scene of great activity last Friday after
noon when the five district schools OF the
vicinity convened to hold their summer
picnic At half-past two, when the eXer-
cises began, "a large company had assembled.
The exercises opened with a flag drill by
Miss Addie Zuill's scholars. After few
turns around the aisles of the church, each
child carrying a flag, they formed on the
platform and sang a song OF welcome
Then followed salutatory remarks by An
ME Benson of Miss Zuilis school.
G.. f. Whites school was the first on the
general program. Well-selected pieces
were delivered by the pupils. Particularly
commendable among these was the selec-
tions by Lucy Randall and Lena Gamwell.
Miss Mamie Divoil's school followed with
carefully prepared program, consisting
largely of musical selections. The calls
thenic exercise, with punches OF flowers
substituted for dumb bells, and the repre-
sentation of TRAMP, tramp by one boy
with a musket was well executed. MISS
Divolls school was noticeable because all
the pupils are very young. Solos were
among the numbers of this part OF the
program.
Next, Miss Bertha Weston's school gave
selections, all of which were well commit
ted and well delivered, but because of the
noise prevalent in the church injustice was
done to the pupils, who seemed to be
speaking very low, whereas they were not.
The Upper Meadow school, taught by Miss
Kate Lamb, was next in order. Gertrude
Gamwell and Mabel Roundy undoubtedly
excelled. However, all did exceedingly
well. The decamatory part of the eXer
cises closed with the appearance of Miss
Zuilrs school. Songs, dialogues and reel.
tations composed the program. Her schol
airs showed that she had not spared any
time in drilling them.
On the merits of defamation it would
seem that Mr.. Whites school eXcelled, bu
as regards general work Miss Divoll tool
the lead. At the close of the exercises al
retired to the open air, where cake, lemon
ade and fruit were served. c. Z.
