Great Philanthropist."
An address by Rev. s. Sherin. Of
Chicago, secretary of the conference,
created a sensation. His topic was
How to Drain the Social Swamp"
He said that the social sewer is the
greatest evil of today In Christianity,
he said, lies the cure, but the ordinary
Christian church was a failure Only
5 per cent are touched by Christianity.
Despite the adverse criticism, no
church is doing so great philanthropic
work today as the Catholic, yet
masses, solos and sermons will never
accomplish what is needed. Churches
burdened with debt cannot easily help
others. Intemperance is thriving, de-
spite efforts of the church.
The w. c. T. U. was organized and
sent thrill through the land, but it
has gone into political trickery and
will never put down the traffic. The

worldly. 1t is but a corpse; as phil

appointed assistant secretary of war,
which office he held until after the
surrender of Lee. He was brought
into close personal relations with Mr..
Stanton and Mr.. Lincoln. At the time
when Gen. Grants character and prob
able usefulness were unknown guam
titles, Mr.. Dana's confidence in Grants
military ability probably did much
to defeat the powerful effort then
making to break down the rising
saddle. at the front much of the time
during the campaigns of Northern
Mississippi and Vicksburg, the rescue
of Chattanooga and the marches and
battles of Virginia in 1864 and 1865.
For short time after the war he
was editor of the Chicago Republican.
Returning to New York, he organized

q, 1868, and from that time to within
a few days of his death Mr.. Dana was
soley responsible for its conduct. His
criticisms of civil maladministration
during Gen. Grants terms as, president
led to notable attempt on the part
of that administration in July, 1873, to
take him from New York on a charge
of libel to be tried without jury
in a Washington police court. Appl.-
cation was made to the United States
district court in New York for war
rant of removal but in memorable
decision Judge Blatchford, afterwards
a justice of the supreme court of the
United. States, refused the warrant,
holding the proposed form of trial to
be unconstitutional. Mr.. Dana's first
book was volume of Stories trans
lated from the German. entitled The
Black Art In 1856 he planned and
adited, with George Ripley, the New

editions have been Issued. With Gen.

tions he would have demanded their
application. Therefore, the policy of the
American president, as soon as he as
certained the feelings of the insurgents
in the matter should be ignored by u.s.
Besides, should it be true that Gen.
Lee is coming with this special mission,
it would imply Spain's impotence, in
asmuch as in affairs of her own she ad-
mits the intervention of foreign
consul whose opinion is well known to
be more favorable to the insurgents
than to the Spaniards. We neither
deny nor affirm that Consul General
Lee has such special mission for we
belong to the class that believes every
thing possible nowadays. 1t would be
due to the-perturbed state Of Madrid
politicians, and because they are con-
sidering the question as mercantile
affair After we know Consul Lees
mission we shall also know whether
fIibustering expeditions could have
been prevented or not by the American
government.

STUBBORN FIGHT FOR FIREMEN.

Flames Ruin a Seven-StOry Factory
in New York.
NEW YORK, Oct IA $500, 900 fire
in the seven-story factory building at
279 and PSI Spring street taxed the
energies of the fire department this
afternoon, and twenty engines and
large force of men were called out.
The basement, first and second floors
of the building were occupied by Fitz-
patrick & Co., manufacturers of mir
rors, plate glass, stained glass, coach
and carriage windows and doors. The
five upper floors were occupied by the
Bradley Currier company, manufac-
turers of doors, sashes, frames and
mantels of the most expensive sort.
This firm had among it's stock the dry
est of woods and the most inf1amma-
BILE oils and varnishes.
Firemen were called to eXtinguish a
small fire in the basement and were
going away when flames were discov-
cred on the ground floor.
1t was apparent that an extensive fire
was in progress in the tall structure,
and alarm after alarm was sounded
calling for more men and steamers In
all, five calls for help were sent out,
Which brought fully half of the fire
engines and hook and ladder compa-
nfes to the scene. Then the struggle

were rolling skyward. The firemen
fought as best they could, but could
not save the factory The fire had
been allowed too much of a foothold,
and the immense structure was DOOM
ed After an hour or, so the floors be-
coming weakened, one after the other
gave way, and at last the flames shot
up through the roof.

and the entire lengths Of the rails. 212
feet was snaked off in short order.
Meanwhile four stationary engines,
one at each end on a level with the
bridge foundations, and another at each
end on scows. securely moored at the
base of the bridge piers, were putting
and emphasizing their readiness for the
task they had to do. There was said
to be less than a hunred horse power
represented in these four engines, yet
so well was everything arranged that
they moved the leviathan without any
apparent over-eXertion. Then the sig
nal was given for the little stationary
engines to assert themselves. 1t SEEM
ed as if they started at the identical
instant. There was a Tightening of the
cables, an almost imperccptible creak
OF a wheel somewhere, and the big
bulk began to move northward: 1t was
like cIockwork.
AS the edge Of the old iron began to
show beyond the bridge piers the
crowds ON the north side of the river
set up shout, and as the breadth of
the new steel span began to disappear
behind the piers, the crowds on the
southern cotgns of vantage also joined
in the cheer, and almost before the
cheer had died away, the mighty feat
had been accomplished. In just two
minutes and thirty-two seconds from
the time Of starting the engines the
new span occupied the exact position
from which the old one had been re-
moved.

Charles Anderson Dana was born
at Hinsdale, N. H., Aug. s, 1919.
His boyhood was spent in Buff
falo, N. Y. where he worked in
store until he was eighteen years old.
He prepared himself for college, enter
ing Harvard in 1899, but after two
years, a serious trouble with his eye
sight compelled him to leave. He was
afterwards given his bachelors and
masters degrees by that institution.
In 1912 he became member of the

experience was gained in the man
agement of the Harbinger, which was
devoted to social reform and general
literature: After about two years Of
editorial work on Elizur Wright's Bos-
ton Chronotype, daily newspaper, Mr..
Dana joined the staff of the New York
Tribune in 1S47. The next year he
spent eight months in Europe. On
returning he became one Of the pro-
prietors and the managing editor of
the Tribune, post which he held
until April 1, 1862. The paper was
at that time the leading organ of the
anti-slayery movement. The great
struggle of Greeley ana Dana was not
so much to-. overthrow slavery as
against the further spread of the in
stitution over unoccupied territory and
the acquisition of slaye-holding coun-
tries outside of the Union. In 1861
Mr.. Dana went to Albany to advance
the cause of Mr.. Greeley as a candi--

beth were burned beyond recognition,
and the only means Of Identification
was the location of their rooms in the

NO LIVES WE'RE LOST.

In the hurry and excitement horses
and cattle in the stables were forgotten
and many perished in the flames or
were suffocated from smoke. The ruins
of the fire are ablaze tonight, the
smouldering embers having been fan
ned into a blaze, and the heavens are
lit with the flames, which cast their
reflection across the river as far as
the eye can see on either side. NO
effort has been made to quench these
fires and naturally the occupants OF the
few houses that remain are afraid that
the fire will spring up again. The fire
has moderated somewhat, and there Is
no likelihood of further disaster. Re-
lief measures were started in Halifax
at an early hour, and this afternoon
trainload of provisions, tents, blankets,
etc, arrived from the provincial cap1-
tai. Aboard the train were Gen. Mont
gomery Moore, Gov. DAILY, Mayor Ste
phen and 100 men of the Royal Berk-
shire regiment and Royal engineers,
who were brought to attend to the erec-
ton of tents and aid in the relief work.
The total loss is estimated roughly at
Sc. .OOO. 900. While a number of the
heaviest losers are partially insured
and some of them pretty well covered,
the total insurance is calculated to be
not more than half million.
The principal losses are as follows:
