SPOKANE (Wash.). Aug. is. - Three
Forks. little mining camp in the SLOGAN
country in British Columbia, was en-
tirely wiped out by the fierce forest fires
which continue to rage with unabated
fury throughout the country north and
east of here. The inhabitants left every
thing and fled for their lives. Several
families have arrived as Kaslo and Slo-
can more dead than alive.
RossIand, 3. c., was surrounded by
the forest fires, and for two days it was
threatened with destruction. But for tho
heroic efforts of the citizens the bustling
mining camp would have gone.
The flames are now past end travelling
east on their work of destruction, eating
up not alone the grand forests, but the
cabins and homes Of many hundreds of
prospectors who are in the path of the
fire.
Reports of loss Of life come in to Ross
land and other mining camps, but no
verihcation of the reports can be had. It
would be remarkable, however, IL some
loss of life is not occasioned by the fire
which is now raging.
Nothing has been heard from the little
town OF Saitese, in the COeur 6'Alene
country, which was threatened with de-
structlon yesterday. 1t is off from any
line OF railroad, and the burning forests
cut oil any communication with 1t.

JUPITER (Fla.), Aug. lS.-Sam Lewis
was taken from Jail at Juno by mob at

graph pole in front of the Courthouse and
then riddled with bullets. The mob ap-
preached the Jail with sledgehammers
aud began to batter the doors. Seeing

Sheriff Perkins, who was in the Jail, fired
at them. The iynchers fired volley in

The lynchers came in' boats from Bis
cayene Bay, the scene of Lewis crimes
Several weeks ago Lewis shot down eX-
Tax Collector John Highsmith and his
nephew, John Davis, because they re-
fused to kneel and apologize for a iancied
insult. About a week ago he was cap

a native OF Vermont, but came to Florida
from the w est. He boasted that he had
killed two men in Montana and three in
Texas. Including Jailor Keyser, Lewis
was responsib ble for the death Of nine men.

BRICE COMES OUT ON TOP.
Assurance That He VIII Control the
OHIO state Convention.

Ohio state Convention.
COLUMBUS (Ohio), Aug. 1S.-Judging
from the reports Of yesterdays county
primaries throughout the State, and the
gossip current there tonight by those
well informed in matters politically, it is
reasonably sure that Calvin S. Brice will
control the Democratic State Convention
which meets at Springfield next Tuesday
to nominate a full ticket.
The sound money mon believe them
selves to be in control of the situation,
but the fight, which has been long and
bitter, will be renewed with increased
vigor upon taking up business in the
convention.
The county conventions have in many
cases been attended by bolts, and nearly
always by the bitterest strife. In the
Cuyahoga convention at Cleveland yester-
day there was a bolt, and instead of the
tity-nine votes from that county next
Tuesday, lis delegates will ciamor for
admission. In this case the Brice force
will have to make good their claims
against the regularly" chosen delegates
before they will he permitted to take
their seats.
After the bolt the regular convention
passed tue following resolution, which
was introduced by Colonel Sahlen, IOm
Johnson's lieutenant:
ResotUed, That the delegation selected
to-day be instructed to vote as a unit in
favor of any proposition which will lead
to the retirement of Calvin S. Brice as
Senator and as leader in the Democratic
party.
In the Muskingum County Convention
at GAINESVILLE the anti-Brice men were
successful after a bitter struggle. The
delegates, however, are not all silver
men, but the free silver platform OF last
year was indorsed.
AtAkrou the Brice men had things their
own way, and the ll2 delegates chosen
will follow the bidding of Brice.
Seneca County Democrats at their meet
ing at Tiffin selected nine silver and two
gold delegates. There was much opposi-
ton TO Senator Brice, and it Is believed
that all but two will oppose him.
The silver men are not doing much
talking. except to say that there will be
many changes before the S0S delegates
give their votes to the convention.
Governor Campbell, who is first choice
for Governor. is reported to have de-
clined the nomination, on the ground of
financial conditions. Paul J.. Sorg of

FIRE AT CHICAGO.
The Holmes Castle Almost q Total
Wreck.

CHICAGO, Aug. Is. - The Holmes
'castle" at Sixty-third and Wallace
streets was attacked by fire at midnight
and is almost total wreck. Firemen
who were summoned to save the struc-
ture from destruction, unhesitatingly de-
clare the fire was of incendiary origin,
and it is generally supposed the inten-
ton was to destroy it and any evidence it
might yet contain relative to the Holmes
case.
structure on the first floor in the south
west corner Of the building, and the first
known of 1t was when Thomas Rodgers,
the watchman at the railroad crossing,
heard 8 muillcd explosion. A moment
lator smoke was seen issuing from the
north windows Of the building. A small
crowd gathered and were frig htened by
series of three explosions similar to tho
first. Then. in an instant, the whole
building was wrapped in solid sheet of
flame, and the work Of destruction was
well under way before the fire engines
had been summoned.
Fire Marshal Kenyon gave second
alarm as soon as he reached the scene, but
both the upper floors of the building
were burned away before the fire was got
under control.
Marshal Kenyon declares there is am
pie evidence of incendiarism, as do nenl-
bers ofthe fire company who reached the
scene. 1t is said the explosions wers
caused by kerosene oil. The fire started
in the rooms behind the confectionery
store that changed hands few days ago.
Davis drug store on tho corner is as
complete wreck as is the confectionery.
The closest investigation will be made
by the Police Department. There was no
one asleep in the building at the time the
fire broke out, and there are no tenants
save those on the ground floor.
The fire caused great excitement IN
the neighborhood, and thousands Of peo-
pie were present.
AS yet the police do not know whom to
suspect of guilt. The loss on the build
ing will not exceed $15, 900, and the dam
age to the stocks of tenants will reach
$4,000. So far as the police know,
there were no suspicious characters
about the place. and from that 1t is
agreed that the fire was OF incendiary
origin, and started from within aud the
muffled explosions are supposed 10 have
been caused by the materials used by the
incendiary.

TECtINIc AND PRACTICE,
Helpful Hints Based on the Long Expert.
ence of n Successful Pianist.


ence of n Successful Pianist.
Technical practice should be free from
timidity. Careful thought and strict
method should never cramp endeavor.
The pupil should venture, nothing
doubting, and the teacher should kindly
encourage his self trust Good tone is
greatly the outcome of muscular plastic
lty 1t is doubtless law that stiff
strokes and rigid fibers force hard tone,
and Timber strokes and loose fibers elicit
mellow tone. A sympathetic touch is
to have something of mental prepara-
tion and must be realized by perfect
cooperation Of all the joints of the fin
gers, loose but even wrist and plastic
forearms
Equality Of finger power is to be at
tanned, firstly, 10y horizontal hand, al
ways avoiding the shed roof dip toward
the little finger, and, secondly, by much
practice of accent exercises in various
positions, and especially in scales and
arpeggiOs as in Mason's method. The
practice of full arpeggio chords, with
clear, even, rapid movement, holding
down every finger struck until all are
raised simultaneously, is very useful.
Pure finger strokes should be cultivated
to the ability Of playing even powerful
chords with them alone The flexible
independent action of the thumb is very
necessary and should be sedulously at
tended to. To remind amateurs that it
should be always over the keyboard may
seem needless, but in thousands of cases
1t is not.
Power Of tone is to be sought in swift !
suddenness Of stroke, not by bearing on
the keys with the weight of the shoul- |
ders and body. A babys hand with a
spasmodic hit would bring out louder |
sound than would the slow tread of an |
elephants foot The left hand should !
be well trained not only for its own !
work S sake, but because it will be less |
liable to hamper execution with the |
right. The bass strings require more |
strength of touch than do the treble |
The lowest note of chord in the bass |
should be well heard, and ciphers and |
inequalities i'll the other notes should |
be avoided by putting each key prompt
ly and entirely down. In ordinary chord |
playing both hands should strike exact
ly together. In slow movements anna
teurS are quite apt to let the left hand
lead.
Waste Of motion on staccato notes and
chords should be stunned The hand
should not, after rising, fall with
threatening motion toward the keys,
bat rather retain its upwardneSs for the
ne>r stroke Elastic upward spring in
short touches and piquant notes should
be under full command, and the hand
never allowed to fall on them like q
lump Of putty. Extensions should be
patiently done Iittlo every day, with a
very gradual increase Of width, until
attc; several months or year the fully
gru"n hand can play fourth easily
with any two fingers.
As to the number Of hours one should
employ il technical practice much will
depend On the physical endurance Of the
player. When freshness and vigor seem
to wano, it is best to take an intermis-
sion One hour Of work with intense at
tontion and studious tact is worth more
than four hours Of drowsy dawdling.
