A Fire this Morning

AT 2 o'clock this morning a fire
alarm was turned in from the
second ware: the boys turned out
quickly and were soon upon the
scene. 1t was found to be in the
cottage just across the street and
almost under the reservoir Of the
city water works. where enough
water was slowed to have wash
ed the house away. When the
firemCn arrived the house was
beyond saving, having been al
most consumed, when the boys
got the alarm. The cottage was a
total loss, as were the contents.
1t was owned by a cOlorcd wo-
man by the name Of Williams,
who keeps a little restaurant by
the city market, and whose hus-
band dropped dead suddenly
about year ago. There was no
insurance on the house or goods.

A Transaction i'm Boxes

Tex Martin, the original and
only Tex, who pres;des with dig
nifty over the shelves of the hard
ware department in IL. B. Mas
ters' store, got tired of handling
paste board boxes that were of
divers sizes and colorS, and prone
to break and burst open. So he
bctakes himself unto the Yankee
Novelty Works and contracts for
500 small, oblong boxes Of several
sizes or rather just the wood for
them, as he was to put them to-
gether himself. A sliding cover
was provided that works both
ways, and at his odd moments he
puts the boxes together, and
applies a coat of hard oil which
gives a pretty appearance to the
yellow pine wood. In these boxes
be will keep all Of his small or
shelf goods, easy of access, and
away from rest and dust, each
one being neatly labeled.

James Young as David Garrick

This popular and handsome
young actor will appear at the
opera house next Thursday night
in Thomas William Robertson S
beautiful play, ''David GalIick. "
L. abounds in humorous situa-
tionS, with a view Of sentiment,
SO that laughter and tears follow
each other, yet with the moral
lesson never lost sight Of. This
comedy is a page from Garrick S
life, portray ing the famous actor
as he was Known to Dr.. Samuel
johnson, Goldsmith and the
great minds Of that time.
To tell the story would antici-
pate the pleasure Of all who en-
JOY it in the play. ln the second
act, when GaI1ick meets the queer
people at Iugot'S dinner, the fun
is said to rise almost, to the
height OF a farce, but by the ar
tistic touches and consummate
acting of Mr.. Young, the play is
held within the bounds Of delicate
high comedy.

The man who personated the

told all about soap pure

ing Star very high compliment.
He said, at was a bright, newsy,
clean sheet, a credit to it's pro-
mOterS and the town that gave
it support, and urged his hear
eI'S to take it, read it and pay for
it. We thank the gentleman for
his kindly feelings towards the

Of good will. This reminds us 70
say that during the past month
the Star has received many
words Of encouragement, very
complimentary and highly 1atter-
ing, as well as favorS Of a
more substantial character, de-
monStrdtlnG beyond doubt, that
we are not laboring in vain, and
the Star has become q household

high, and they were eager for the contest
There was no apprehension except when

Olympia. with the admiral, took the lead
through the sunken danger, and when this
to begin the fight. There is no long dawn
in the Philippines, the transition from dark
ness to clear daylight coming in few
minutes. 1t was shortly after O'Clock that
this change came, disclosing the Spanish
ships lying eight miles off. The American
sailors watched the hurry and confusion on
board of the Spanish ships as they prepared
to defend themselves. They were, practically
helpless, as their fires were banked and be-
yond clearing the deck for, action and get
ting the men to quarters they could not be
moved. Meantime the Olympia had led the
way, and the American ships were in line
remained at the ammunition cases, serving
shot and shell as fast as needed. The men
at the guns had stripped to the waist, keep
ing on only their trousers and shoes. There
was not breath of air stirring, and aside
from the intense tropical heat there was the
heat of action and of excitement.
When Evans left the Boston on May the
wrecks of the Spanish ships were plainly.
visible dotting the water of Baker bay and
the outer bay. Only shattered portions of
their upper works were left, for terrible
havoc had been wrought by the American
guns and by the fires which followed on the
Spanish ships. The wooden ships had been
the better class of steel ships had their
sides blown out and their upper works rid
died. Evans says the Spanish fleet was not
such lame and helpless aggregation as the
people believe. The Castillo and Duero
were che worst of the lot. being old boats,
but the former had a fine lot of modern
krupp guns on her. The two Islas, the
Reina Christina, the Donna Antonio and
the Austurias were all good ships, with
rapid-fre batteries and heavy modern guns.
But they were taken completely unaware,
were unable to move and were literally
blown to pieces before they had an oppor-
tunity to get into the action.
The British cruiser Linnet had arrived
at Manila before DR.. Kindleberger and Gun
ner Evans left. AS they came out of the
bay a big French cruiser and another Brit
ish ship. the Immortalite, were entering.
The American officers and men were
naturally elated over their victory and no
fears were entertained that its results would
be overcome by any subsequent develop
ment. The health of the men was good and
the heat not particularly trying. as they
were used to this service. About the worst
difficulty was to secure fresh meat and
vegetables on board the ships, for the Span
iards in and about. Manila and the insurgents
surrounding the place ate up every available
pound of fresh food. Admiral Dewey had
an abundance of regular ships rations and
was hopeful of getting fresh food before
long.

MORE LOSS FOR LETTER.
Decline i'm wheat May Cost Him An
other Million Dollars.

CHICAGO, June 20.-More threatening
clouds gathering for Letter. Since the
announcement of Letters withdrawal from
the deal the price of cash wheat has de-
clined 10 cents. This means an additional
loss of $1,000O00 within a week which the
older Letter apparently will have to pay.
Another source of evil to the Letter pros
poets is the persistent rumor from across
the water that foreigners are refusing the
wheat Letter sold Various reasons are as
signed for the rejection. but in each case
there appears the possibility that Letter
will find his wheat coming back to him in
great quantities
The sale of options this week which were
controlled by Letter is another item of loss
with a declining market. On the other hand.
outside holders of cash wheat in the North
west, including Peavy came to the city to-
day, and the statement has been circulated
that practically all the wheat supply of the
country will be involved in the Armour
Letter deal. Reconciliation is said to have
been effected between Letter and Peavy,
who was enormously regarded by some as
one of the leaders of the movement to break
the market in the Northwest and preciptate
the Letter failure On good authority it is
said that Letters wheat al Minneapolis and
the transfer from Letter to Armour. There
is perhaps 5000 900 bushels in Minneapolis
and 100000 at Duluth. The addition made
by admitting Peavy into the Armour camp
is said to be in the neighborhood of 20O0,-
600 bushels

ANOTHER CABINET POSSIBLE
POLITICAL CHANGES EXPECTED
WHEN THE CORTES is CLOSED.
Don Carlos Ready to Assume the
Reins of Government and Avenge
the Insult to His Country.

LONDON. June 21-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Times says: SPANS
fusal to exchange Lieutenant Hobson and
his companions of the Merrimac is easily
explained and justified. Without any inten-
ton of acting as spies they must have seen
many things in or around Santiago about
which the American naval and military
authorities would gladly have information.
The idea that Germany will interfere to
prevent the storming of Manila is now
abandoned, but speculation is active as to
her political designs. Ell Epoca suggests
that Germany may negotiate with the Phil
ippine republic and lease a portion of the
province of Cagayan, including the port of
Aparri in the Island of Luzon. 1t forgets,
however. that this would require the sane
ton of the United States as the suzerain
In the opinion of tolerably informed people
the idea of creating semi-independent Phil
ippine republic is an absurdity. The archi-
pelago consists of scores of islands. The in
habitants differ widely in race language
religion, customs and every other respect.
There are no fewer than thirty-one lam
guages, representing as many nationaities.
The only bond of union is foreign domina-
ton, and if this were destroyed an artificial
political conglomeration would Immediately
resolve itself into its constituent elements.
Admiral Dewey had probably not the faint
est notion of the terribly complicated prob
lens, political and administrative, which he
was raising by bombardment Of the Span
ish fleet
With the approaching close of the Cortes
there is much speculation as to political
changes. A reconstructed and semi military
Cabinet is talked of. This must not be TAX
en- as indicating an increase in the war-like
spirit. On the contrary, it is explained that
this would mean a determination to con-
clude peace as soon as it can be obtained
consistently with national honor A semi
military Cabinet in touch with the army
and with the courage of its opinions, would
be best qualified for carrying out the reso-
lutte peace policy which the interests of
the country require. In support of the view
that the time has come for entering upon
such course it is pointed out in various
quarters that voices are heard demanding
peace at almost any price. One or two
letters in this sense have appeared in the
press, and the manifesto of the Union Cata-
lanista is to the same effect. TIL ase mani
festations are interesting and may prove
symptomatic, but it would be, in my opin-
ion, a mistake to attribute to them at pres
ent much Importance. They do not repre-
sent the great mass of the political, indus
trial and commercial elements of the pop
ulation. The impression / have received
from recent conversations with official per-
sol ages is that the members of the Cab
met do not consider the present or imme-
date future as an opportune moment for
opening peace negotiations"

OHIO REPUBLICANS.
Hanna Faction Will Probably Sweep
Everything in TO-Day's Convention.

COLUMBUS, O., June 20.-The Republic
an state convention will meet here at p.
M Tuesday The nominations are to be
one candidate for Judge of Supreme Court,
clerk of Supreme Court, dairy and food
commissioner secretary of state and mem
Der of the Board of Public Works. All are
to be denominations except the latter.
Most of the delegates are here tonight,
but there is no such contest as the last Re-
publican state convention. when NJ "A.
Hanna was indorsed for senator and
Charles T. Kurtz was defeated for state
chairman. The main contest is for the con-
troll of the state committee, and what are
known as the Hanna or national admin
istration men are said to have the MEM
bers of the state committee from eighteen
of the twenty-one districts as against what
are termed the kurtz, or state administra-
ton men, When Hanna was elected senator
last January the opposing candidate was
Mayor McKisson, of Cleveland, the home of
the senator
There are two delegations here now from
Cleveland, but it seems certain that the
Hanna delegation will be seated over the
McKisson delegation and thus insure the
selection of Hanna man on the state COM
mittee from Cleveland and also the control
of the local committee of Cuyahoga coun-
ty, which will hold over till next year. Both
factions are now wanting the control of
the party machinery, as next year nomina-
tons will be made for Governor and almost
all the state offices. There are contested
delegations from Allen, TuScarawaS and
Hardin counties that will affect the selec-
ton of members of the Atate committee.
The Hanna men have such a large major
ity among the delegates that they will con-
trol the convention without contest on any
thing after the report on credentials is
adopted and the committee on credentials
will be composed almost unanimously by
the senator's friends. There is much dis
appointment over Senators Foraker and
Hanna being unable to leave Washington. 1t
was intended to have Senator Hanna for
temporary chairman Tomorrow and Senator
Foraker for permanent chairman on
Wednesday, but now General Charles II.
Grosvenor will be both temporary and
permanent chairman and make the keynote
speech of the campaign. AS Congressman
Grosvenor is considered close to the ma
tional administration his speech is awaited
