Trinity church last night. where large
congregation was present. The musi-
cal part of the service last night was
unusually fine. The choir's rendering
of the anthem Here by Babylon's
Wave" by Gounod, was fine piece of
work and reflected much credit on Con-
ductor Cheeswright and his choir.
The preacher was the Rev Henry M.
Barbour, rector of the Church of the
Beloved Disciple of New York city.
Mr.. Barbour took for his text the words
1T had been good for this man had he
not been born,' and in the course of a
very able and eloquent discourse refer
red at some length to the alarming in
crease of cases of self-destruction
among the people at large. He said the
man who took his life in order to shirlx
the obligations that were laid on him
was a coward. We are not, he said, in
the world to see what we can get out of
it, but rather for what the world can
get out of us. 1t was wicked and pro-
ing to die All such sin proceeded from
the heart and it was ones duty to crush
it then at the beginning, and to culti-
vate in it's place a reverence for our life.
Our great duty was to submit and leave
our lives wholly to God, who knows
best how to order them. We should, he
said, be ready to go when the time
came, but till then ready and willing TO
stay.
Rev. DR.. Douglass made a special
appeal on behalf of All Saints mission,
which. he said. was wholly dependent
on the contributions of the various
churches assembled at these services.
The stormy weather which prevailed at
the earlier services of the series had
greatly reduced the average collections,
and he trusted that the contribution
last night would be a generous one.

do not want this and objected to the
resolution offered by Commissioner
States, which is:
That the assistant superintendent of
streets be instructed to start the stone
crusher and road rollers as soon as pos
sible and appoint the necessary men
to run the same.
He said in support Of his motion that
1t was time that work on the streets

There must have been fully seventy-five
people in the house, men, women and
children, sleeping on mattresses placed
on the floors in the various rooms. The
tenants were laborers with their wives
and families.
The fire started in the grocery store
of Guiseppi e Statta at SO Union
street on the ground floor, and in few
minutes the entire building was in
flames and filled with smoke.
The fire burned so fiercely that thu
firemen We're unable to get into the
building, but they made many rescues,
men, women and-children being taken
down on ladders. Police Captain Gull
len was early on hand with his reserves
and they did effective work in helping
the firemen rescue the frightened ten,
ants. Those who lost their lives We're
overcome by the smoke befort they We're
thoroughly awake and so We're unable
