ALWAYS MADE MONEY.
Mill Partially Burncd-Will BE ke'
built mt Once.


PROVIDENCE, r. l.. June -Manton
village. u suburb west ot the Olncyville fac-
tory district, came near losing its chief In.
dustry, the Kimball wooden and worsted
mills. fierce fire started in the stock
house and the flames quickly spread to the
designing and pattern house, the
sewing. fulling and dressing departments.
Two alarms were sounded Tor the city
apparatus, and long run was made, some
OF the companies covering the four or five
miles In very quick time. The flames were
checked before the large mill building was
badly damaged. and the best part ot the
machinery was started rs usual on Monday
morning. Some reserve machinery was de-,
stroycd with the large amount Of wool
on hand. The raw material - to'a,
loss, and the stock house, which was OF
three stories, lOOx5O feet. is in ashes.
The designing house was Of two stories.
200x50 feet. This il also In ruins. Ihe
main mill, its machinery and large amount
of cloth in various processes OF mhnuIac-
ture were wet down. The loss on raw ma
terial alone in the stock building is about
machinery, buildings and cloth will amount
to from $4,000 to $4,000 more. The
mills have been the busiest among the
worsted plants in this section, AMI they
ran all winter. Recently they have
been operated day and night with double
force OF help, and from 500 to 600 operatives
found employment there The fire proba-
bly started from spontant Gus combustion in
the wool In the stock house, ~ the blaze
was first seen there by tenant
in dwelling opposite the mill.
Superintendent Daniel Brown was
present at the fire. and he Immediately
began preparations to have the mill pre-
pared for resumption Of work on the large
orders on hand. Horace Kimball, owner OF
the mills, says his total loss il 100000, and
that the insurance is $3.50. 900 on the entire
plant Kimball has owned and operated the
mills since 1882. .and has constantly de-
veloped them. There were about 40
spoilers and burlnrS employed in the design
ing house, an this machinery was de-
stroyed The operatives in that building
will be thrown out of work temporarily.

giving.

The scene was most Impressive ana
the services very simple. Her majesty
sat in the chair of state, Immediately in
front of the communion rail and just
beside the brass plate whose inscription
designated the spot which was the tenn
porary place of interment of the prince
consort.
Punctually at II O'Clock. amid the soft
strains of an organ voluntary, the queen
arrived from the Cloisters at the en-
trance. Assisted by her Indian at
tendant, she walked slowly to the chair
Of state, the congregation standing. She
was dressed all in black, except for the
white tuft in her bonnet. The Empress
Frederick of Germany, attred in deep
black, took the seat at the right of the
Queen, while the Duke of Connaught,
wearing his Windsor uniform, seated
himself at her left. The others seated
themselves closely behind. and looked
very like a simple family of worshipers.
The queen was profoundly moved and
the tears rolled down her cheeks. At
last. and evidently with great reluctance,
she beckoned her Indian attendant, and,
leaning on his arm, passed slowly out
of the chapel, the entire congregation
standing, the soft light falling through
the multi-colored windows, and the ex-
quisite strains of the organ rising and
swelling beneath the gothic hammered
roof.
1t was scene never to be forgotten
and thrilled all present with a strong
emotion.
There were two services at st. Paul's
cathedral at II a. m. and at .. m.
Immense crowds filled all the ap-
proaches to the cathedral at the morn
ing service, anxious to catch a glimpse
Of the royalties and distinguished per-
sonages who were announced to be
present, including all the Protestant en-
voys. The first to arrive and to be
recognized with the greatest interest
were the archbishop of Finland, in
purple and black vestments. accom-
panied by two deacons, and General
Kirreef. In full uniform. Then followed
Chang Wing Huan. the Chinese envoy, in
gorgeous Celestial garments. He was
escorted to the choir. where were seated
the ENJOYS of the United States, Rus
STA. Holland, Denmark Sweden, Brazil
and Hawaii.

Diamond Jubilee Day.

when from 100 metropolitan steeples q
tumultuous peal of bells announced

amazing in their sublime patience.

only be sustained by some over-master-

long hours snatches of song and occas-

people were determined to enjoy the
festival of patriotism and loyalty to the
utmost.
The Procession.
The procession was practically in three
pections as far as st. Pauls. though the
two last EN- route to the cathedral were
consolidated as they moved into Picca-
dilly. The first to take up position was
the colonial procession, formed on the
embankment, and moved via the mall,
thence past the palace, where her majes-
ty viewed 1t from a window, over the
route to ST. Paul's. The march began at
3:45. and the great cortege proved a well
come relief to the waiting multitude. For
the colonies were living pictures, pre-
senting in tangible shape the growth Of
tile empire. the far reaching extent OF
the queens sway. The procession, after
some police. was headed by an advance
party of the Royal Horse Guards. Then
followed the band Of the same corps,
