CATHOLIC AND HEBREW WOMEN
Invited to Fraternize With the Women's
Christian Temperance Union.


Baltimore. October 23-Miss Frances
Willard carried the W. c. T. U. conven-
tion with her to-day in a movement to
include in frGternal relation Catholics
ad Hebrews.
The question arose on the following
resolution.
Resolved, That the Catholic women
and Hebrew women should be invited
TO send fraternal delegates from their
annual convention to ours. and 10 estab-
lish branches of the White Ribbon So
ciety WiJhin their own borders
One Of the delegates suggested that
it might not be quite consistent for the
"WOmans' Christian Temperance I'm
ion" TO ask Hebrews to affiliate. This
reused Miss Willard. She said: Il

tions. because in places where l have

Cumberland, Md, October 2S.-The
forest fires which were raging along
The West Virginia Central Railroad
some days ago, threatening the differ
ent towns along that road with de-
struction, and which were gotten under
control, have again broken out at Davis,
w. Va. Information received from
that point is to the effect that the
southwestern part Of the village IS en-
circled with flames and that the citizens
are engaged fighting the fire in order
to save the town. The saw and pulp
mills, together with the large Ladew
tannery, have closed down, and the en-
ployes are battling with the flames, try
ing to save the property.
A high wind is prevailing and the fra
runs up the tall dead pine trees and
leaps from tree to tree with lightning
like rapidtty. The village is surround
ed by immense forest trees, and the
danger Is great. Blackwater river,
their only water protection, is very low,
and should the houses on the outskirts
become ignited the village would be
doomed, as they are all frame struct-
urss and would burn like tinder.
II is stated tbat the flames leap the
Blackwater from tree top to tree top,
and that the river is no hindrance to
the spreading flames whatever.
The latest report is that the fire is
within a few feet OF the great bark
sheds, and should these take fire the
