The Smile of q Little Child.


There Is nothing more pure In heaven,
And nothing on earth more mild,
More full Of the light that Is divine
Than the smile Of a little child.
The sinless lips, half parted
{ With breath as sweet as tho air,
And the light that seems so glad to shlno
In the gold Of the sunny hair.
o, little one smile and bless me!
For somehow know not why
feel in my soul, when children smile,
That angels are passing by.
Ifeel that the gates OF heaven
Are nearer than knew,
That the light of the hope Of that sweetei
world.
Like the dawn is breaking through.

THE BOND BIDS.
There Is Little Doubt that They will
Exceed the Amount to be
Issued.

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 31.-Nothing
definite can be learned at the treasury
department as to the number or amount
of bids already received for the new
bonds. AS fast as received the bids are
deposited in a safe, where they will re-
main until next Wednesday, when they
will be opened and their contents an
nOunced. 1t is certain, however, that
large number of bids have been re-
ceived and every mail brings consider
able additions. AS to the amounts or
prices offered even the secretary Of
the treasury knows nothing, except in
some few gases where he has been pri-
vately advised by letter.
There seems to be no doubt that the
amount of the bids will exceed the $780,
o00,000 to be offered and it is expected
that the foreign offers will be consider
ably more than was expected when the
loan was announced The improved po-
litical situation abroad, it is believed,
Will contribute to this end
The semi-Offcial announcement that
bidders who intend to pay for their
bonds in foreign coin will be given The
preference in making the award is OK
pected to stimulate foreign competition
for the bonds. The thing most to J.,
feared in connection with the sales, it IS
said at the treasury, is a possible com
blnatlon by which a large percentage OF
the offers will be at uniformly low rates.
Should this prove to be the case, there
seems to be no doubt that Secretary
Carlisle would not hesitate to reject all
bids below what he would regard as fair
both to the government and to the pur-
chaser

SAL SBURY SPEAKS UP.
AS Rule of Policy, He Says He is a
Supporter of the Monroe
Doctrine.

London. Feb. 1.-The banquet of the
Non-Conformist Unionist association at
the Hotel Metropole last night, was the
occasion for an address by the MARQUIS
OF Salisbury, prime minister and secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs. In the
course of his remarks he said with refer
ence to Venezuela:
Il have been held UP as the denouncer
of the Monroe doctrine AS a matter of
fact, although the Monroe doctrine is no
part of international law, my dispatch
to MI. Olney, the secretary of state of
the United States supported it as a rule
OF policy IN the strongest and most dis
tinct terms. But when / stated in that
dispatch, and reiterate now, that, as a

Gates of the Monroe doctrine, we mean

FLEE FOR THEIR LIVES.
Hotel Guests in PHILADELPHIA
Have Narrow Escapes.
Whole Business Block Wiped 0ut-LOSS will
Reach a Million.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 3.-Chestnut
street above Broad was visited early this
morning by one of the fercest fires this
city has known for years. The seven
story building of Charles III. Hazeltine,
1416 and 141S Chestnut street, and the
Baptist Publication society and the
adjoining fve-story structure of the Bap-
fist Historical society, 1920 Chestnut
street, were totally destroyed. The
buildings damaged by fire and wafer and
falling walls were the four-story dry
goods house of Homer, lie Boutillier &
Co... 1412 and 1414; the dwelling house
at 1922, owned by the Wister estate,
and the Hotel Lafayette at Broad and
Samson streets. On either side of the
main entrance to the Hazeltine building
were the piano warerooms of Hallet &
Davis at 1416, and of Steinway & Co.
at 141S. The two Baptist societies lost
large and valuable collections Of paint
lngs, books and curios. The detailed
losses have not yet been made up, but
conservative estima tie places the aggre-
gate at more than $1,0O0,000. 1t is
thought that this is almost fully COW
cred by insurance.
There were about $50 guests in the
Lafayette hotel which is in the rear of
the destroyed building. Among these
were Porter King, mayor of Atlanta Ga.
and the others of the party who escorted
the Liberty bell home. Olga Nethersole,
the actress, her brother, Louis Z. Meth
ersole; Madge Meadows and Maud Clay
ton of her company were also guests of
the Lafayette. The guests, excepting a
few fainting women, kept cool heads and
all were removed in safety. The Allan
ia party was carried in patrol wagon
to the Continental hotel, FIVE blocks
away, and the Nethersole party to the
Metropole, opposite the Lafayette. Ev-
cry other hostelry in the city was thrown
open for the reception of the disturbed
guests. Only the eighth and ninth floors
of the hotel were burned, although the
back part of the building from cellar to
roof was badly damaged by smoke and
water. 1t had only recently been opened
by new management.

TO RELEASE THE ST. PAUL.
A New York Engineer Would Loosen
the Sand by Jets of
Water.

New York. Feb. IA plan for the re-
lease of the ST. Paul has been suggested
by 7. A. Richardson, mechanical en-
gineer.
1T is the hardened sand that holds the
St. Paul as in a vice." he said. my
idea would be to enliven this CONCEALED
sand and turn it into Quicksand
Il would introduce plenty of jets of
water forced through three-inch pipes
under the vessel and just ahead of her
stern till the hardened sand becomes dis
integrated, and then with two powerful
tugs hauling simultaneously on each side
of the st. Paul [ could pull her out.
1t would be Just the same as sliding
the ship out of q cradle through soap.
The pipes would reach under the ship
nearly to the keelson. The water could
be forced through them from the wreck
ing tugs, or from the st. Paul herself,
into the sand. By removing a little sand
the remainder is made quick by the ac
ton Of, say, forty three-inch streams
along the vessels bottom. From the
Joints in the pipes where the hose enters
L would connect two-inch pipes for con-
yenience in handling.
1.-THE ten Wreckers should be anchored
and ready for pumping at about half ebb
tide. This will allow her to settle some
what. which is desirable, until dead low
water. Then | should slacken the
pumps, retaining sufficient force OF water
to keep the pipes free until just before
high tide. Then | should start them at
their full capacity. AS soon as the
water and the sand were seen to be
moving | should have all the tugs start
at full speed. The boat would undoubt-
edly move"
Mr.. Richardson points to the use of the
water jet system for removing obstinate
piles as 4 practical illustration of his
principle. He says he is willing to
undertake the contract, and figures the
total cost at $17,225.
This and several other methods were
suggested to Vice-President Wright of
the International Navigation company.
He said that the entire matter was III
the hands of Capt. Merritt. who de-
clared that the only way of moving the
ship was to haul her off.
The position of the stranded steamer
st. Paul remains unchanged today, the
effort to float her last night having been
unsuccessful. The wind this morning
is from the northeast, the weather is
quite thick and there is quite swell on
the sea. Preparations are being made
to pull on the steamer at high tide and
it is hoped that then some progress will
be made towards floating her.
