ate for services to be held in the churches
commemorative of one of the greatest

set apart one day in the year to return

more so to recognize the hand of Provi-

out seeing the divine hand in it. Let the

THE FIRE LAST NIGHT.
The Total Damage Was Less Than a
Hundred Dollars.

Last night at Ills o'clock fire broke
out in the heart Of the city-on Martin
street, just opposite the postoffce.
1t originated in the small huddle OF
wooden buildings on that square-just
the place to have had big fire and also
the place where such a fire would have
done the least damage to property owners
and most good to the city.
Raleigh has too good a fire department
though, to have fire, even where a fire
is needed. Within a few second after the
turning on of the alarm the fire laddies
were on the spot with wagon and hose
and the rose-colored smoke-cloud that
was rolling upward soon became black
mass. for the flames were licked up by
the huge streams of water.
Within twenty minutes after the
sounding of the alarm the signal fire
OUT was turned in. And yet the flames
had secured good foothold and were
making rapid Roadway before they were
discovered.
The fire originated from a stove in the
back of the tailor shop of w A. Taylor
and there did most damage. The rear OF
the office of ]. NJ. Broughton Il Co. was
also slightly damaged.
Taylor's damage consisted principally
in the fact that his goods were wet by
the water.
The building is an old wooden struct
IRE. owned by Mrs. r. A. F. Cooley, OF

The total damage by the fire is proba
bly, not more than SO.

DESTRUCTION OF FISH.

The Hiio Herald calls the attention OF
the people to the useless destruction of
fish in Hilo Bay, by the use of impro-
per nets, which the fishermen use. 1t
says that fish are now brought from
this city to Hilo, and if this indiscrim-
mate fishing is kept up, the prices will
increase.
1t is the experience of nearly every
nation that its natural fishing advan-
tages are destroyed, before private en-
terprise takes hold of them and makes
them permanent industries. In France
he. promiscuous oyster gathering, TAD
recuced in the year 1868, the annual
output of oysters in the Warennes
bay, from S0,0O0,000 down to 1900 600.
The Emperor Napoleon then inter
fered, set the scientists to work, put
the oyster fisheries under Government
control and at the end of twenty years,
made the industry permanent and pro-
fitable. The oyster beds of Long ISL
and Sound were nearly destroyed when
the State, after persistent urging by
few intelligent men, placed the indus
try in private hands, so that at pre-
sent, as many as 5000 barrels of oys-
tiers in the shell are shipped weekly to
England.
too high in our markets. The methods
of obtaining and preserving the fish
are expensive. The fish should be kept
alive, after taking, and be preserved in
tanks, so as to equalize the supply.
Anyone who has seen the great mar
BILE tanks in the Partisan fish markets,
knows that if the fish can be brought
to that city in tank railway cars, dis
lance of one hundred and fifty miles
from the sea, can be transferred alive
to the market tanks, and the fish then
be sold at reasonable rates, 1t cannot
be a difficult matter to keep the fish
taken in our own waters alive, and to
transfer them to tanks on the fish dock.
The experiment should be tried here
in an inexpensive way, at first, in order
to determine the right conditions. The
success of it is simply a question of
good brain work. When the arrange
ments are complete, we shall have the
best, the most wholesome animal food
in the market and at prices which will
make people in moderate circumstan-
ces quite happy.
