DAYS. Some suggest that it was spoh-
taneous combustion. others think IL may
have been set afire by rats striking
match which they had found ana car
ried there.
No one entertains the idea Tor mo-
ment that the conflagration was the WORK
of an incendiary. Mr.. Ray says he sat
in his porch, just in front of the burned
building until $3.50 o'clock, and he neither
saw any suspicious character around or
any evidences of fire. 1t was lO:lo
when the fire was discovered.
The first person to see it was negro
woman. who is a convict-a trusty. she
called to another trusty, man, and tod
him there was IA fire. He rang the bell
and gave the alarm. The building burn
ed very rapidly and the fire 1t made was
so intensely hot that no one could go
near to save anything.
Men got upon the tops of the other
buildings and by dint Of the hardest
kind of work kept them from catching
fire. The tool house and house for trus-
ties and very large storage house
were in especial danger. The latter pro-
perty would certainly have been lost had
it not been for the prompt aid OF the
neighbers.

CHARITY and Children.)
Mr.. w. G. Hufham. who came to the
Orphanage a lad, left yesterday for
Raleigh. where he accepts position with
Messrs. Edwards and Broughton. For
years he has been in the office of Chari-
ty and Children, and on his shoulders,
mainly, fell the worry and vexation of
keeping up the old machinery. He has
been tried in the fire and comes out pure
gold. Aside from his thorough prepar-
alton as a printer, he is young man
of excellent qualities and OF first rate
mental endowment. He is an active
member of the Orphanage church, and
will add to the moral force of any COM
munity in which he may settle. We part
from him with deep regret, and hope he
will be happy and useful in his new
home.

FIRE AT THE COUNTY HOME.
Barn, Stables, Horses, Hogs, Tools and
Vehicles Destroyed by Fire.

Between 10 and IL o'clock Wednesday
night the northern heavens were lurid.
1t was evident that there was big
fire in that direction, but it was not
known until yesterday, when Mr.. 9. Il.
Ray, the superintendent of the County
Home, reached the city, that it was pro-
perty Of the county that was being con-
sumed.
The large barn and stables, with all
their contents, were burned, and but for
the prompt and heroic assistance Of the
people who live nearby every building
on the place would probably have been
wiped out The total loss is between
$4,000 and $500, with only $500 in
surance.
The loss falls upon four different par
ties-the county of Wake, Supt. Ray,
Oyerseer j. l.. Pugh, and Mr.. w. S.
Ray.
The loss to the county is about $1,000,
consisting in three fine mules and one
horse, nine hogs, one feed house and
for buggies, two corn cribs, one COW
stables, sixty barrels of corn, seventy
five bushels of Irish potatoes, all the
pillow and wagon harness. over three
thousand pounds of shucks, one hundred
shocks of oats, all the plows and harrows,
mower. corn planter, a seed drill, a
top buggy and harness.
Superintendent G. Il. Ray lost hand
made carriage and set of harness,
valued at 500.
Mr.. J. l.. Pugh, the overseer of the
farm, had his fine horse, top buggy
and harness destroyed in the fire. His
loss is $3.50.
Mr.. w. S. Ray, who was spending the
night with his brother. lost his mule,
buggy and harness-worth 5000.
The $500 insurance was on the feed
house, in the North Carolina Home In
surance Company, of this city. This
building had been recently repaired.
Nothing was saved, such Roadway
had the fire made before it was discover
ed, but two wagons and about two bar
rels of corn. The crib was a log build
ing.
How the fire originated is mystery.
1t seems to have caught among the
shucks in the feed loft, as that part was
wrapped in flames. when the fire was
discovered, and fell in soon afterwards.
And yet there had been no fire about the
building, not even anyone smoking, SO
far as is known, and the loft was locked
and no one has been in it for several

A POISONED LIVER.
Don't Keep Poison In Your Body
 Longer Than You Have To.

If your stomach poisons your liver the consequences may be serious.
 What poisons arise in your stomach come from undigested food which has decomposed there. They are absorbed by your blood and go to your liver, where they paralyze it's functions and make you bilious.
 Finally they go into the blood again and are carried all over the body, dis ordering your different organs, and per haps making you dangerously sick.
 This is the origin of many diseases which are not always known for what they are.
 The poisons of undigested food can only be got rid of by the use of purl- flying, strengthening, digestive tonic, like the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
 A few doses of this wonderful cordial will soon clear away all undigested, fermenting, poisonous substances, re- store your appetite, aid you to digest your food, purify your liver and blood of all dangerous poisons, and restores you to perfect health.
 It will cure biliousness, indigestion, nausea, headache, dizziness, mental de- pression, weakness, fever, f1atulence, constipation, loss of appetite, bad taste in mouth, stomach-ache, anaemla, rheumatism, etc, where other medl- cines will barely give relief.
 At druggists. Ten cents for a trial bottle.

Strange feelings overcome you as you
descend at night into the little valley
of the mission. You have noticed that
the old trail is in hundreds of places
worn deep into the rocks, even into the
blue undecayed granite, while in the
decayed granite 1t has depth in many
places of several inches, and in some
OF nearly foot. Yet it has not been
Travelled for over a century except at
long intervals by some stranger like
yourself. And then the thought arises
that all the horses of the peninsula OF
Lower California were, like most OF
those today.--barefooted How then did
unshod horses wear such a trail into
granite? Only by numbers or length Of
time, and from what YOU know of mo-
dern trails you readily calculate that
1t took great deal of both. Yet as you
wind around the chaparral-clad hill
high above the valley 1t looks like any
other little mountain valley of twenty
or thirty acres and but for the old trail
leaing into 1t you would suspect nothing.
But the eye of one used to California
readily catches winding line that leads

Coney was wide open in the middle

1t was estimated that almost 10000
cyclists rode to the island. On the re-

there. others wanted to continue down
the path on Prospect park east and
the result was accidents every minute,

and on the 5th Of October. going out
because 1t clouded over, 1 met several
native vaqueros Fastening up the trail
to drive out several hundred head Of
cattle from good grass to the dry plains
far In the west.
On the east the mountain plunges with
stupendous jump into the most danger
GUS OF deserts, where only handful of
Indians have lived within human mem
ory. and from there 1t Is over 100 miles
to where the main body Of the Cocopahs
live. They are not the kind of Indians

West, south and north of the mountain

can we learn that there ever were any
very great number. The old missions

OF all we can find any evidence of having
existed on the western slope of the range.
Why the fathers should have scaled
these great heights by these long and
rugged trails, with so many better places
for mission, is one of the questions.
My own explanation Of 1t is about as
bad as any. In the summer the noun
tain could support several thousand
head Of cattle, while the acorn and pinon
crop would go long way toward sup
porting Indians, there being great guam
titles of both. In the winter the cattle
had to be driven out, and probably Ill
dams and all left for the lowlands. 1t
would therefore be kind Of country
