THOUSANDS HOMELESS.
Their Livelihood Gone, Homes and
Crops and Cattle Burned.

MONTREAL, Sept. 26.-The big
forest fire that has been raging for
the last few days in the forest of
the county Of Athabasca has de-
stroyed hundreds of farm houses.
The village of Brawit's Mill is
wiped out and not a building re-
mains. Even the cattle were
burned in the fields. The inhabit-
ants fled, terror stricken, and bare
ly escaped with their lives. Hun
dreds of families became separated
in the flight. Most of the country
is a 'charred and blacBened waste.
The fire is eating its way still
farther into the interior and the
sun is obscured by the dense
smoke. Forestdale and Amos
Park, on the Mitchell road, escaped
the fire entirely, but along the
Athabasca branch of the Grand
Trunk railway the restitution is
pitiable. The whole community
has been burned out and women
and children are imploring chart
ty from passengers and passers by.
The fire is spreading into sec
ton of the country where there are
fewer inhabitants. The damage,
hover, will be heavy, as the land
is heavily timbered with hemlock,
the expectation of the bark being
the principal industry of that sec
ton.
At Ashton. Que, the fires are
raging on allssides and the inhabit-
ants have done nothing for days
but watch its progress, which it
seems impossible to check. Moth
ing short of heavy downpour of
rain will save the timber.
Reports from Maddington and
st. Rossaire report the loss of
scores of dwellings and barns with
the seasons crops.

Cattle Thieves Hold the Fort.

GLENwooD SPRINGS, Colo, Sept.
26.-A Gordon of off GERS is watch
ing the hill on which the Fisher
gang cattle thieves are fortified
but are still unable to effect their
arrest. The hill is covered with a
thick growth of brush and also has
two or three caves in which refuge
can be had. The desperados from
their position can note everything
for miles around. A number of
cattlemen from Gypsum are also
bound for the scene and an army
of officers numbering over 100 men
will storm the hill from all sides.

GEORGETOWN, September 90
Special --Henry Chaves, colored,
aged "a years was arrested here to-
day for the theft of a suit of clothes
in Austin two months ago, adj
hitting his guilt. Henry came
here about that time, and has been
the janitor of the Methodist church
ever since and conducted himself
a in gentlemanly manner. He had
just organized a choir in the col
ored Methodist church and took a
prominent part in the Sunday
school, and his arrest today was
a great surprise to the colored
brethren.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
American Government Contractors
In Japan Received Quite Colby.


ENEw YORK, Sept. ga special to
the World from Toxic says: Agents
of several American ship builders
and steel and iron manufacturers
are now in Japan seeking govern
ment contracts for naval construc-
ton and material. The Union
works of San Francisco are repre-
sented by Irving NJ. Scott, the
Cramps by Gen. George b. Will
liams, the Bethlehem works by
Capt. f. l.. Zalinski, the Carnegie
works by Lieut.. Col. Hunsicker,
the Whitney's of New York by A.
r. Whitney, Jr., and the electric
company, of Schenectady by E.
Thurnauer. But for reasons no
one attempts to explain the various
agents are not welcomed as cor
daily as might have been expect
ed. Reports have been sent
abroad that the heads of promin-
ent houses have received invita-
tions to visit Japan and bid on i'm
portant works. So far is this from
facts, that the agents are now
scarcely able to obtain official rec
ignition.

THE TWO cocKPITs.

There were two cockpits In the neigh
borhood of Whitehall palace one on the
site of the present first lord Of the treas
urys house and the other near the juno
tion of Queen street and Dartmouth
street with Birdcage Walk. The two are
often confounded, but the former is
the more famous. 1t was devoted to
dramatic and musical performances as
we'll as to- mains Malone says:
Neither Elizabeth nor James l., nor
Charles l., I believe, ever went to the
theater, but they frequently ordered plays
to be performed at court, which were
represented in the royal theater called
the Cockpit" lodgings were attached
to it, and assigned from time to time
to persons of distinction.
From one of the windows of mis- cham
bers there Philip Herbert, earl Of Penn
broke and Montgomery, saw Charles !.
pass from st. James to the scaffold
oliver Cromwell appears to have succeed
ed to the occupancy and in the Commons
Journal of Feb, 20, 1850, is the entry:
Resolved, That the lord lieutenant Of
Ireland have the use of the lodgings
called the Cockpit, of the Spring Garden,
and st. James House, and the command
OF st. James park"
During the Protectorate, when all
Whitehall was in possession, Cromwell
still retained the Cockpit, and from there
addressed letter to his aged mother,
giving an account of the battle of Dun
bar. Here, also. he was waited upon
by a deputation from the parliament
desiring him to magnify himself with
the title of king, and here Milton and
Andrew Maxwell, his secretaries, and
Waller and Dryden, were his frequent
guests. Though averse on principle to
dramatic entertainments, Oliver was fond
of music and Liked the organ. He took
John Kingston, the former organist of
Charles l., into his employ, and used
often to summon him to play before him
at the Cockpit, the hail or principal
chamber OF which was no doubt we'll
adapted for meetings, receptions, con-
certs and the like. On Feb. 20, 1867, after
hearing two sermons at st. Margaret's,
the honorable house partook Of a most
princely entertainment at Whitehall
wound up with a vocal and instrumental
concert at the Cockpit-Ths Westminster
Review.

POULTRY.
Malheur Gazette.

Malheur Gazette.
Director A. G. Gilbert, in treating the
subject of poultry in Its relation to the
egriculturist, in a paper read before the
Ontario Agricultural Union, said: In re-
latio1 to the agrculturist, poultry occu-
pies the position Of an undeveloped mine
OF wealth. The farmer asks the reason
for its value. The answer Is, because
for the capital invested there is nothing
about the farm that, with proper man
agcment, will return so great a profit.
1t is the only department of the farm
that will utilize what might be waste,
and give in return for it,: 1. The egg,
representing cash at all times. 2. The
young, which are revenue producers In
three to five months. 8. The valuable
manure 4. The body of the hen, which
will bring a fair price after rearing sew
eral broods OF chickens and laying O
large number OF eggs.
1t seems to make no difference with
poultry whether they are housed beneath
the slate roof OF a pretenuous building
or In deserted pig pen, so long as they
are kept dry, fairly warm, and well at
tended. The farmer inquiries: What
percentage of profit may I expect? In
answer, 1 quote from an authority OF
twenty-five works on poultry. He says:
Zone dollar per hen profit where large
fiocks are kept. is a very good profit,
that is about 100 per cent. on the invest
ment. In smaller flocks, 80 and even 50
per hen is realized But such prices are
the exception and not the rule
You tell a farmer that there Is money
In poultry and he replies: There may
be, but It takes a lot of knowledge and
work to get 1t out of them" 1t takes
intelligence and trouble to look after
any department on the farm. The man
who invents a business that will make
money for him while he sits down and
looks at 1t, will be the richest man the
world has ever produced.

RYApINa TIIE pRrss GANG.


1t was not an easy matter to get mar
ried In press gang times. Robert Miller,
a Kirluwall man, found this to be the
case. He returned from the whale-ish-
ing one autumn fully resolved that he
should take unto himself a wife. But
the press gang got on his track, and he
soon saw that If he was to get his hearts
desire he would require to exert both
pluck and perseverance. AT length the
fateful night arrived. The company had
gathered and the minister was in the
house of the bride, prepared to proceed
with the ceremony, when the dreaded
press gang made Its appearance.
Ladies are not usually of a bellgerant
disposition, but when they saw, as In
this instance, the likelihood of a mar
riage being spoiled by interlopers, they
rose up In wrath against them. They
assailed the members Of the press gang
both with tongue and missiles, so that
these gentlemen were glad to beat a
hasty retreat. After this little episode,
a back window of the house was lifted
and the bridegroom dressed in womens
clothes bounded into the room. The doors
having been barricaded TO prevent a sur
prise, the clergyman proceeded to per-
form the ceremony, and surely no BRIDE
groom was ever married in such a
strange garb! Miller was never captured.
He lived to a ripe old age, and was the
first beadle Of the Kirkwall Free church.

a POETS CHILDREN.


The following letter, written by Cole
ridge in 1903 TO Mr.. Coates of Bristol,
appears in the London Spectator. It is
not included in any Of the published col
lections:
Hartley Coleridge, years, Derwent,
years old, and Sara, a year old on the
2Srd OF this month. Hartley is considered
a genius by Wordsworth and Southey;
indeed, by every one who has seen much
Of him, but (what IS OF much more con-
sequence, and much less doubtfuD he has
the sweetest temper and the most awalx-
ensd moral feelings Of any child l ever
saw. He is very backward In his book
learning, cannot write at all. and a very
lame reader. We have never been
anxious about It, taking 1t for granted
that loving me, and seeing how 1 love
books, he would come to It of his own
accord, and SO 1t has proved. For in
the last month he has made more pro-
gress than in all his former life. Hav-
ing learned everything almost from the
mouth of people whom he loves, he has
connected with us words and notions, a
passion and a feeling which would ap-
pear strange to those who had seen no
children but such as had been taught
almost everything in books. Derwent is
a large. fat, beautiful child, quite the
pride OF the village, as Hartley is the
darling
Verify, the constitutional differences
in the children are great, indeed. From
earliest infancy Hartley was absent, a
mere dreamer at his meals, put the food
into his mouth by one effort, and made
a second effort to remember that It was
there to swallow 1t. With little Derwent
1t is a time of rapture and jubilee, and
any story that has no pie or cake in 1t
comes very fiat 10 him. Our girl is dar-
ling little thing, with large blue eyes;
a quiet creature that AS l have often
sad, seems to bask in a sunshine as mild
as the moonlight of her own happiness.
o, bless them! next to the Bible, Shake
speare and Milton, they are three books
from which have learned the most,
and the most important, and with the
greatest delight"

MRS. HowE's ANECDOTES.
Reconections of English and American
Authors.

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe entertained
those who were present at the Bryn
Mawr school commencement yesterday
with a fund of anecdotes about some
Of the famous American and English
literary men with whom she has been ac-
quainted.
Those whom Mrs. Howe selected to
talk about were Washington Irving,
Charles Dickens, Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow, Ralph Waldo, Emerson and
Nathaniel Hawthorne. How she first met
them, descriptions of their personal ap-
pearance and entertaining stories about
them formed the principal portion Of her
address, with an occasional story or
quotation from their writings that would
point moral to the school girls to
whom she spoke.
II met Irving at the home Of John
Jacob Astor, the founder Of the Astor
family in New York." said Mrs. Howe.

AN ELIZABETH PEABODY HOUSE.

AN ELIZABETH PEABODY HOUSE
The late Elizabeth Palmer Peabody
was one of the first to introduce kinder
gartens into this country She lectured
on the subject in many places, circu-
lated books far and wide, and did much
to recommend Froebel's work to the pub
lie. Directly or indirectly, she has been
the promoter of all the kindergarten work
that has been undertaken up to the
present time. Remarkable as she was
for literary and educational gifts, and
unselfish and large-minded as were her
plans for the public good, she passed
away without any memorial that was be-
fitting to her work or that gave her
friends an opportunity to testify to their
appreciation of it. 1t is now proposed to
establish in this city an Elizabeth Pea
body House, which Will be a kindergarten
settlement similar In plan TO college set
Elements The plan Is to take a suitable
house in some poor and crowded quar-
ter and 10 have a group OF eight or ten
kindergartners, normal students, and
teachers, In residence. They will conduct
a kindergarten, and through acquaintance
with the children enter into friendly and
helpful relations with the people Of the
neighborhood In a variety Of ways. While
a great work has already been accom-
plished by the hndergartens OF this city,
there are still tenement house regions un-
touched by the kindergarten influence
