FOREST FIRE.
About $4,000 Acres Of Seashore
Woodland Burned Over

GLOUCESTER, Mass. May l9-The most
extensive forest fire known for years has
ragged here several days. About 1000 acres
OF valuable seashore woodland have been
burned over, and incalculable damage has
been done toone of the finest tracts of wood
land in Essex county.
The fire Is said to have started at West
Gloucester. from the carelessness of man
who set brush heap on fire. Leaving it for
"a while, the flames spread to the dry under
growth, which has baked In the sun for two
months without drop of moisture touching
it. 1t spread almost in a moment with the
intenseness and roar of a prairie fire, toward
tho ecoehorc.
Fortunately but few houses were included
along the tract, and these were spared
The track of the flames thus far has been to
Bonds hill, sweeping near Fefnwood lake,
through Ravenswood park and the pest
house. through the Magnolia section to the
Manchester line.
The blaze made a magnificent spectacle
from the city, lighting up the sky for miles
around. From elevations, vast clouds of
smoke could be seen rising from the burning
wood. II is estimated that tract four miles
wide and six miles long, from West Glou-
cester to Bonds hill and to the Manchester
line, has been devastated. Many of the
trees in this section will undoubtedly die
from the effects of the fire.

Recent archie illogical discoverie
along the valley of the Tennessee
River in Northern Alabama have led
to the belief that the region was once
inhabited by cliff dwellers, and an ex-
pedition from the University OF Penn
sylvania is soon to explore the caves
in that region. Professor Mercer will
head the expedition, and it is believed
that valuable discoveries will be made.
Many specimens of ancient pottery be-
lieved to have belonged to the cllti
dwellers have recently been found IN
the caves along the Tennessee.

BOSTON LETTER.
SPECIAL coBREsPoNDENcE. /
The Great Organ.

no" many people there are today
VINO know the sad fate OF the once
honored great organ which made
Music hall one of the most famous
music centres in the whole world.
Those who think they know are quite
sure that IT Is stored on the grounds
of the New England conservatory of
mnstc, Franklin square, and that il is
the property of the conservatory. Ii
Is stored IN 1t primitive sort of shed.
especially built for the purpose on the
ground back of the conservatory, but
1t Is not the property of the cOnserva-
tory. The owner of the organ is
the widow of W. o. Grover.
VINO died about year ago. In 1888
there was much talk about removing
the organ in order that there might be
more room. DIR. j. p. Upham, the
one who first suggested having the
organ, and vino for seven long years
kept at thu suhiect before it was taken
mp and seriously considered by
the public, and who from be-
beginning to end was the all powerful
champion. strongly opposed the remov-
al Of the organ. in June, 1888, he
filed II bill III equity praying for an
injunction to restrain Music hall cor
poratlon from removing the organ
just at this point W. 0. Grover was
greatly Interested in having the organ
placed to the best possible advantage
for the future. He was a great friend
OF the late DR.. Touriee, the we'll
known director of the conservatory, and
II was his plan to purchase the organ
and place II in music hall constructed
by the New England conservatory. DR..
Iouriee warmly favored the plan. for
such hall had long been needed by
the institution. 1t was the plan
OF DIR. Tourjee to secure by
grant of legislation enough ground i'll
the rear of the conservatory for the
hail, and then by subscription to raise
enough money to build the hail with
aeating capacity Of not less than 8, 900.
The Legislature granted Just one half
of what was necessary to build the
hall on. Again the persistent doctor
appealed to the Legislature tor land,
but this time he failed, and ii is we'll
known that ii WAS disappointment
which broke him up completely, and
really hastened his death, rs he was
not at all well at the time. In the
meantime the organ was taken ont OF
Music hall and stored in Il primitive
structure which was erected on
the ground back of the oonser-
vatory granted by the Legislature.
The organ cost $50, 600. The case
alone, which is OF black walnut, cost
$40, 600. Case is hardly the word; it
would be more appropriate TO call the
wood work an editice or temple,
wherein music dwelt, for it is a superb
display of carvings. The spac? oceu-
pied by the organ has been used as a
stowaway and one can get but faint
glimpses of the beauty of the carvings
because of the old mattresses and
chairs which are piled upon it, When
the doors are opened the view is that
OF junk shop. An old cart wheel
has found its way here, and paint
can surmounts one of the byzantine
domes, while all the setting of the
amateur stage is to be seen scattered
around in the utmost confusion,

interest in this plan to honora famous
man Of letters was practically assured
by the readiness with which the public
responded to the opportunity given
them to share in the preservation OF the
open space opposite Craigie House as
memorial to Longfellow some years
ago. There is Il genuine sentiment
for our poets with all of our people,
and it is only fitting that some such a
testimonial as this should be made
here and now to the memory of James
Russell Lowell. The memorial win
dow in a chapel of Westminster Abbey
already is evidence of the honor in
which his name is held. To preserve
in Lowells name and for the public
some Of the land at Elmwood, that
was to him always part of his home,
will be worthy thing to do, and one
that could not have failed to be CRATE

A Rebuke to CaIumniators.

The Massachusetts, House of Repre-
sentatives did a very significant thing.
1t refused to accept an adverse com.
mittee report regarding the Butler
statue plan, and assigned to a place IN
the calendar the proposition to erect a
suitable memorial to the distinguished
soldier and citizen. This rebuke to
the Butler haters who united IN the
recent concerted attack-by-calumny
on the honor of the dead general Is
well deserved. The members OF the
committee who think it inexpedient at
this time to make an appropriation
for statue of general Butler are sed-
ulouslv careful in their report not to
employ or endorse policy of slander.
But this display of good sense on the
committees part could not make the
House forget the course pursued by
certain remonstrants at the well re-
membered Butler statue hearings. The
assailants of Buffers integrity and
good name carried on a campaign that
was not only unbecoming, but q gi-
gantic bluuder. Perhaps they will
realize this fact even more than they
do now. before the session is over.
