A SMALL FIRE.
Its Early Discovery Avoided a Possibly
Serious Conflagration,

Its Early Discovery Avoided a Possibly
Serious Conflagration,
An incipient blaze at BAT High
street at 8:45 this morning, was the
occasion for calling out the fire de-
partment. The fire was quite fortu-
nately discovered before it, had gained
any head. way and was promptly ex-
tinguished by the streams from neigh.
boring hydrants a small garden hose
having been previously call into re-
QUESTION.
The damage to the building from
the fire will be slight, the greatest
damage being done by the water.
The residence is the property Of
Mrs. E. g. Small, who reside one door
north, and is occupied by Mrs. Mary
A. Davis who. conducts a boarding
house. The fire was discoyered by
Mrs. Snyner about Is minutes before
8 o'clock and an ralarm was immedi-
ately turned in, the department res
ponding with its accustomed prompt
ness.
The fire originated on the second
floor ina room occupied by Miss Meta
A. Davis, a teacher in the city pub
lie schools. No one knows how the
fire started but it is the general sup
position it had It's origin from
matches as the flue was in perfect
condition.
Miss Morris is quite unfortunate by
the fire, from the fact that her entire
wardrobe, (which was placed in a
closet in which the fire started, was
completely consumed.
Mrs. Small carries a small insurance
on the house and Mrs. Days was also
fortunate in having her furniture lin
sured but Miss Morris, the principal
loser by the fire had no insurance
whatever. The slight damage to both
the residence and the furniture will
be covered by the insurance.
rhe residence appears to be fated
from the fact that this is the third
incipient blaze that has occurred in
that house during'the past two months
Fortunately the fires were each dis
covered and eXtingulshed before any
great damage had been done.

Good Sermon.

DR. Elliot, of Portland, lectured at
Unity church in the forenoon yester-
day. Two texts were taken, "The
flight of the birds" and the phrase
"Why is light not given to him whose
way is hid?" From the first text he
drew beautiful lesson by showing
the difference between the man and
the bird. How the bird of migration
always hys in the right direction and
at the right time and has done so for
thousands of years, while man makes
mistakes in his direction and profits
and learns by his mistakes and ad-
vances intellectually and morally.
The essential difference between the
man and the animal is that the man
is progressive, the animal stationary.
Man is always advancing, 1t Is his
nature. He has no sense OF direction
but he has many ether more import
ant senses can only learn by his mis-
takes. The man who neYe, makes a
mistake is not progressive man. To
err is but human and gives the
foundation of knowledge, Light IS
not given tu him whose way is hid be.
cause itls not the plan of nature, of
God.

Quoted musical service to a good
