LondOn's Greatest Fire For Three
Centuries.

tratiOn-klondike.

LONDON. November 19.-One of the
tory since the great fire of 1866 broke
out in a large block of buildings lying
east of Aldergate street, and between
that thoroughfare and Red Cross
street, just after 1 o'clock this after
noon. The flames were famed by a
strong wind, and fed by highly In
flammable stocks of Christmas fancy
goods and flimsy dress materials of all
descriptions which filled every floor OF
the six-story building in the old street.
Consequently the conflagration gained
headway with surprising rapidity and
was soon beyond the possibility of be-
checked by the few engines which were
early on the spot. For four hours and
a half, the flames had their own way,
and it was only after more than hun-
dred engines had worked an hour that
the chief of the fire brigade sent out
the signal that the fire was under con-
troll
At II o'clock tonight the fire is still
the scene of great excitement. Fifty
engines are playing upon the ruins and
tons of water are pouring into the fiery
debris. Thousands of people are try
ing to penetrate the Gordon maintain
ed by thousand policemen, reinforce
ments for whom were sent up when at
5 o'clock an increase in the outbreak
led Commander Wells to make a re-
quisitiOn for more engines upon the
outlying stations. The scene must oc-
cupy the fire brigade for several days,
especially in view of grave danger OF
the collapse of the shells of buildings,
which fall now and again with a loud
report. The latest advices indicate that
nearly $50 warehouses have been de-
stroped, while the loss will probably
exceed f5,000,000.

THE DRUMMER'S WIFE.

by W. L. Sanford, Sherman, Tex
Come! boys, fill your goblets again with
red wine!
have Joined in your toasts, now join me
in mine!
Yes, join in this health, as / rise to
theme
AS inspiring as love, and as bright as a
dream!
With cup of devotion; the the vintage
OF life,
drink to that angel-the travelling
| mans wife.
Yes, l drink to that creature whose lot
is to wait
For the sound of a football, the latch
on the gate;
Who welcomes the traveller home from
With joy in her heart and with love on
her lips;
Who nestles beside him and sweetly be-
guiles
His care burdened thoughts with caresses
and smiles;
Who fervently prays as she kneels down
to pack,
| Wlth tear-brimming eyelids the drum
| mer's grip sack
mat the Lord may watch over the wan
dering feet,
Then bids him goodbye with face
bravely sweet!
And when through the shadows his form
disappears,
Gives way to her sorrow in pitifui
tears.
Who turns from the door to her boy, 1t
may be,
Who joins in her weeping, and climbs
to her knee;
And kisses him fondly, and tucks him
to bed,
When his feet have been bathed and his
baby prayers said;
Then follows to slumber that's troubled
with dreams
OF wreck and a death by the rain
swoolen streams.
Anxiety, born of a sweet, loyal life,
Gives careworn look to the travelling
mans wife;
But her voice grows softer along with
the years, .a--.s-.a-ss-.s.vssa..
Her soul grows brighter with baptisms
And the woman is dearer by far to his
heart
Than the maiden who faltered, I'LL
death do us part"
They tell Of court in a country OF
light,
Where the wrongs Of this world are at
length set Alright;
May the woman whose smiles is the
light our haerth
Receive their the peace that she knows
not on earth!
This, this is my toast, and the prayer
of a life,
THAT forever is pledged to . travelling
mans wife.

THE BIBLE AT THE UNIVERSITY
AGAIN
KATE 4. OLDS,
ANNIE LANE DEVEREUX

Snow Hill, n. c., April 30, 1897.
TO the Editor: The writer of the
items from Chapel Hill in your issue of
yesterday goes out of his way to ques-
ton the "veracity" of certain minister
III Eastern North Carolina who had
made statement in regard to the use Of
the Bible in the University. Your spe-
cial correspondent does not name the
minister, but / suppose he refers to me.
as | have seen nothing on that line in
the News and Observer from any other
minister in Eastern North Carolina.
The statement | made was that when DR..
Pritchard preached the commencement
sermon. he or some one else had to send
out in the village to borrow a Bible for
the occasion. My authority for that
statement is prominent Methodist
minister of the Western North Carolina
Conference who was present on the oc-
casion referred to.
Well, it's refreshing in these dry times
to learn that DR.. Battle lectures every
Sunday morning on characters of the
Old Testament" but | am sorry to say
that from the reckless statement of your
special correspondent the Doctors lee
lures are not correcting the bad habits of
at least one of his hearers.
Very respectfully,

SUNDAY EXCURSION TRAINS.

Charity and Children, the organ of
the Baptist Orphanage, is severe upon
running trains on Sunday, and in its
issue this week excoriates some Of its
own people severely. 1t says:
1.-The North Carolina Baptist advertises
n Sunday excursion to be run by citi-
zens of Fayetteville to the Southern Bap-
fist Convention. The managers disclaim
any hope of profit, but are very Jealous
that every Baptist will he given an oppor-
tunity to attend the greatest religious
body ever assembled in Neyth Carolina.
Such declarations as this will deceive
nobody. The railroad companies may
generally be relied upon to furnish trans
pOrtation to all who want to go. But If
the train were furnished free, to- all, the
bold and fragrant violation of IL divine
command is utterly ineXcusabIe. We
must hope that for the sake of the great
denomination, of which the mana gers of
this proposed excursion are members. the
sinful and scandalous scheme will be
abandoned. We hope that every Baptist
along the route, if the train is run, will
avoid it as they would shun the pla CUE.
There will be no lack of passengers, how
ever. The devil is ready to furnish them
If the Baptist people of Fayetteville
have no higher sense Of duty and no more
reverence for a plain and positive COM
mand, given by God. than TO wilfully
patronze this excursion they are unwor-
thy the honored name they bear. But
we do not believe our brethren there ca
pable Of endorsing such an outrage on
common decency. We hope to hear their
indignant protest against it.
Twenty years ago a Sunday excursion
would have shocked the Christian senti-
ment Of North Carolina from mountain
to sea now we look with complacency on
the Sunday train, and even read in the
columns of a religious newspaper the
schedule of a train to great convention
coupled with urgent advice to patronize
it. Thus do the violations Of the divine
law blunt the public conscience and blind
the eye to the turpitude Of fragrant and
wilful sin. The Sabbath day is just as
sacred as it was when our mothers warn
ed us, as we gathered about their knees,
to keep it holy. Running a railroad train
is nothing like pulling an OK out of a
ditch. 1t Is less harmful to run an
excursion OH Sunday to prize fight than
to n Southern Baptist Convention; for in
the former case the livery of heaven
would not be stolen TO serve the devil in. "

THE PICTURE.

The canvas like bare wall in the sun
Stands on the easel, glaring in Hood
or light. In tiny heaps one after one
The paint to initiate the flesh and blood
On palette waits but from the brush to
flow.
Like mortal who in common clay began,
The cloth when touched grows Deautllui
and 10!
There comes a vision of Gods own image
man.
Reholding this we're taught that each
who lives
Paints portrait Of himself; the colors are
The blessed lights the loving Father
gives,
And in their use a man may make or mar
The picture he must needs depict Of his,
Whereby the world shall view him as he

WHEN A LIE SEEMS EXCUSARLE

Said woman to me: David remarks
in one OF his psalms, And l said in my
haste, all men are liars If l had writ
ten that verse | should have added,
And have never had occasion to change
my opinion"
Why" asked writer in Harper's
Bazaar.
And then she told me that men land
women) were not truthful, that the best
of them told falsehoods. For instance
several months before this conversation.
she had asked Il certain young man if
he were engaged to Miss B. He gave
her to understand that he was not.
Nov, his engagement to Miss b was
announced, and it was acknowledged
that it was an affair of six months
standing. Had he not lied?
/, who happened TO know the facts of
the case, was aware that it was the wish
of the fIancee and her family that the
fact of the engagement be kept quiet
until they were ready to announce it.
The man in question was in hocor bound
to keep the secret.
"All the same" declared the indig-
nant woman, IF, according TO the old;
definition Of a falsehood, it is thing
told with intention to deceive he told a
falSehOOd."
The conversation recalled to my mind
he speech made by a friend long ago.
If any one asks me 8a impertinent
question which cannot in honor answer.
l do not hesitate to lie."
All Of us, it is to be Boped, love the
truth, but what are We to do when a
truthful answer is a breach of PROMISE?
If one says Il decline to answer that
question:" he may cause offense, nst to
mention the fact that he virtually admits
that there is a confidence to be Kept.
And this admission is often unintention-
ally the first step to the betrayal of
secret.
Since we cannot always answer truth
fully, and since we would not lie, IL would
be we'll if a society could be founded for
the suppression OF the impertineat cues
toner. But pending the formation of
hat much needed organization, what are
those Of us who would be honorable and
truthful to do?,
