FIRE.-Shortly after two o'clock this
NOR aing while Officers Ferguson and
Sherwood were at the intersection OF
King and Washington streets they
heard woman Shrek as though III
distress. The cry came from upper
King street, and the officers double
quicked in that direction. Upon reach
ing Columbus street they were told by
citizen they met that there was fire,
and Mr.. Sherwood ran back to the
Columbia engine house and turned in
the alarm. Mr.. Ferguson kept on and
upon reaching tho intersection of King
and Patrick streets found MIR. ]. W..
Goods store, on the northeast corner,
TO be on fire, and q woman at an upper
story window crying for help and say
ing there was no exit for her from the
burning building. Rev. Mr. Bill, of
Grace Church, suggested where lad
der could be procured, and MIR. Samuel
Park having obtained it; and Mr.. Fergu-
son, Officer Atkinson and Mr.. Mort
Williams assembled and soon extricated
the lady (who was Mrs. Ramsay, an
elderly lady, occupying the room over
the STOREY from her dangerous predica-
ment. The fire department had arrived
in the meanwhile and the flames were
e1tinguished, not, however, withou.
difficulty. The fire had been started in
the back part of the store and it is be-
lieved to have been the work of an
incendiary, as burning coal oil could be
distinctly smelled. The loss will amount
to about $1,000, which is covered by
insurance. Some months ago an at
tempt was made to burn this store, on
which occasion some "excelsior" in the
cellar had been set On fire.

In his letter Col. Smoot says:

DRESDEN, Germany, Nov. 80, 1895.
Thanksgiving is over. Of course we
| didn't have such nice time as we do at
home, but still it was very fair German
substitute.
| think we've written you that the
dentist we have here is a German girl
who has had enterprise enough to go over
to America and learn dentistry. She is a
very good American now, and has also
caught the American spirit OF indepen-
dence She has nice little fiat of five
rooms-parlor, dental office, bedroom,
dining-room, and kitchen-snd also a
nice little servant girl.
She asked US what we were going to do
for Thanksgiving, and we decided that it
would be fun to have dinner down at
her house; so mamma cooked the turkey
in truly American fashion.
went down early in the afternoon and
superintended the stutiing and roasting
of the turkey, the making of the cram
berry sauce, the baking of the potatoes
and The boiling Of the onions. The Ger
man cook was very good natured, and
seemed greatly interested in all the
American ways of doing things; she had
never boiled onions or baked potatoes
before The Germans boil potatoes and
fry onions.
First we had soup, then turkey, cram
berry sauce, celery, boiled onions and
roasted potatoes. We cooked four pounds
of onions. but you see we hadn't had any
boiled onions since We left America.
For dessert we had apple fritters, nuts
and rasins, but no mince pies.
We sat three hours at table, from until
10, and our little party of six females had
fine time; there were the dentist,
young lady from Kentucky. Miss p, of
New York, and We three.
They had dinner up at the American
church the night before Thanksgiving;
tickets were seventy five cents each, not
including minee pie, though-they were
81 extra. \ friend told me they had ten
turkeys for l50 people, SO guess they
didn't get much turkey apiece.
There has been skating all this week;

tolerably regular intervals contained
many packages from mothers, wives,
sisters and sweethearts. And every
wagon train that reached us from the
nearest railroad terminus brought boxes
from home for both officers anG men.
They were filled with great array and
assortment of articles supposed to be
necessary for the welfare and comfort Of
the men, In the main these articles ran
to things to eat, especially cakes, jel-
lies and preserves, all homemade and
therefore doubly relished. There were
articles of wearing apparel in every box.
In those days paper collars, some linen
lined, and others nothing but paper,
were in high favor throughout the west.
Nearly every box contained a supply Of
them, so that the recipient could present
what the boys called Sunday go to
meeting" appearance.
As our communication with st. Louis
was not regular, these boxes did not all
arrive at the same time. They began, in
fact, to come about week before Christ
mas ard continued to come at intervals
for month aftorward. Pretty much ey-
ervthil.g tho hnves contained was, so to
speak, grist for the boys. But when one
young fellow found feather pillow in
his box he failed to join in the laugh
his comrades raised and never seemed TO
relish being dubbed Private Pillow"
Christmas came bright and clear,
