eEEBAcH AND THE AGENT.
A German Story of an American Attezsa5S>>
 to Boom Sewing Machine.


 The following story, which was pub. lished ill German in connection with the death of Malio Seebach, tho noted German aetrU3s, shows very we'll the conception of American affairs which still prevails in Germany to Q certain extent Seebaeh was here more than 90 years ago, and 1t is scarcely possible that sucn an incident as is described would have taken place then, but many such stories are told in Germany today as illustrative of American enterprise.
 According to this reminiscence Marie Seebach ono day received 0 message that a gentleman wished to see her. She told the servant to send him to her drawing room i'll the hotel, and when be arrived he introduced himself as @ certain Colonel Smith. Then ho plunged at the object of his visit and said that he represented a certain well known make of sewing machines.
 TT have already heard" he said, ''that you arc a great artist. l want to find out if you arc a good business wo- man as well. Do you want to make some money?"
 "Oh, Two no objections to make to that, sho said, If it is possible in a perfectly correct and dignifed way"
 "Oh, it's in the most correct way possible that I propose, tho visitor continued, "and offer you $10, 900 for doing it. !"
 'sWhat have I to do in return?" ask ed Soebach.
 Nothing in the world, 7" the colonel replied, and as ho noticed the express sion of astonishment on her face he went on: "I told you that came from a sewing machine company-one of the largest in the world. All that demand Of you in return for the $10, ,000 is that as Marguerite in the cpinning wheel scene from Faust you will use one d our sewing machines instead of tRs wheel, and just keep it in motion for q few seconds. Then we would let hand bills drop from the gallery, saying that the machine used by Marie Seebaoh was made by our firm. v
 The actress is said to have hesitateo for a second, but, in tho end, her re speet for Goethe's tragedy is described as the feeling which saved her artistic reputation.
 This story is of type that disap peared from general uso 40 years ago It is of the kind told about P. T. Bar mum in the earlier days of his career but stories of the kind still pass muster in Europe although press agent wh' attempted anything of the kind in thiI country would soon lose his job.-NeN York Sun.

Four thousand persons have been rendered homeless by earthquake shocks at Balikeer, Asia Minor.
 The jury in the Luetgert case at Chicago returned verdict against the defendant yesterday. He was given a life sentence in the peniten- tiary.
 The jury in the case of John Gaf. ford, for the murder of Francis Lloyd near Greenyille, Ala, returned q yer diet of guilty of murder in the first degree. Gafford will be remembered by some of our Arkansas readers as the man who was prison guard of penitentary convicts at Coal Hill, Ark, in 1888, where he brutally whipped and killed several convicts and was sent to the penitentary for his crime, but subsequently, escaped. His sentence is Q very just and de- served one.

NIGUTGOWNS.

within the reach Of very modest purses, few women who have limited income can afford to buy it because of the omnivorous and never glutted washerwoman and laun- dry, which literally deyour all that they get into their clutches It is the washing and not the wearing which ruins under wear, and woman who would cheerfully pay S3 or S4 for a pretty nightgown or whito petticoat, if she knew it would last, grudges $1 for garment that experience has taught her will be in rags at tho end of q dozen washings. Gnawing chemicals now do the work of conscientious hands, open air and sunlight, and nothing is mora flecting than the joy of dainty outfit of lingerie.
 Silk underwear, except in tho form os ribbed underwear, has lost it's brief vogue and is q good riddance, for it's beauty is utterly destroyed by soap and water. Mus- lin, cambr.o, lawn and fine batiste are now preferred, and q great deal of tucking, lace and embroidery is used as q decoration, al- though plainer styles may be had in an equally ano quality. Petticoats retain the umbrella shape, with deep, full double ana triple aounees, which are necessary in or- der to expand tho foot of tho dress skirt.
 A picture is given of two nightgowns. The first is of white batiste trimmed at the top with alternate lGsi.f1 pi luckinR and bands of embroidered ins0rJion. It has turnover collar bordered by an ern- broidored rufle and closes in front under double friH of embroidery. The elbow sleeves are finished with ru11le of en- broidery, and similar ru1llo edges tho foot of the skirt. Tho second nightgown, of nainsook, has q square yoke of bands of embroidered insertion framed by a ruf1lo of nainsook and embroidery. The square neck is without collar and is finished by a narrow embroidered ruffle The sleoves match tho yoke, terminating in 0 wide sHilie. Tue gown closes at the left side.

Funeral of VIM. White.

A quiet funeral service, over the re-
mains of Mr.. Wm White. was held at
his late residence yesterday afternoon
by the Rev. Father Gay, the minister
in charge of the Church OF the Holy
Faith in this city. Mr.. White, q quiet
unobtrusive gentleman, and an excel
lent citizen, was a grandson of Bishop
White, of Pennsylvania, who was in a
sense. the fatherof the Episcopal church
in the United States, as he with two
others. Provost, of New York, and Madi-
son. of Virginia, was the first to obtain
the necessary Episcopal succession from
England. Bishop White was one OF the
chaplains of congress- He was also the
friend and pastor of General Washing
ton. and in many matters one OF his
counsellors, and was an ardent patriot.
He was probably at the signing OF the
Declaration of Independence, and was
ir the confidence of those heroic men
who put their names to that immortal
document. Mr. Gay is preparing his
toric memorial discourse in which he
will bring out these and many other
facts of wide and national interest, not
only concerning the White family. but
of many of the fathers of our country
Due notice will be given as to the time
for the delivery of this discourse.

SPANlARDS WIPED OUT.
Caroline Islands in the Hands Of the Ma
tives and the Spanish Garrisons
DESTROYED,

San Francisco, Sept l2.-Private ad-
vices have been received in this city to
the effect that the Caroline group OF is
lands, which this country contemplated
selling, had the war with Spain been
prolonged, is probably by this time in
the hands of the natives.
Two native kings of the group who
had long been at war with each other.
some months ago declared a truce. com
bined their forces and began war against
the Spanish authorities. The latter
sent in vain to Guam for aid, after con-
centrating their forces at Bonape, but
they were poorly supplied with ammuni-
ton and in no position to resist pro
longed attack. The supposition is that
the place was captured and the Spanish
garrison wiped out. This would vir-
tually mean the capture of the group of
islands,

A TERRIBLE FIRE
Jerome, A. T., Wiped Out by the
Most Destructive Fire in Arl-
.zona's History.
LOSS ONE MILLION DOLLARS
The Only Building to Escape Was the
Methodist Church Blowing Up Build
ings Did No Good, the Flames
Sucked Them In.

Prescott, A. r., Sept. la.-The town
of Jerome. near mere, was completely
wiped out yesterday by fire. entailing
loss of 81, 900, 900. Eleven bodies have
so far been recovered, while a score or
more people are said to be missing.
The fire originated from gasoline
stove in cabin and spread so rapidly
and fiercely that it was impossible to
save even clothing. However, it was
confined mostly to the business part OF
town. The open ground intervening
between that and the mammoth workso1
the United Verde Mining company,
saved the latter's plant.
Over $50 residences, averaging in val
ne $2,5OO each, rs general merchandise
and other stores, saloons, ETC., were
wiped out; in short not single business
house remains. The only building to
escape was the Methodist church. The
number of homeless people is placed at
/ 500, and they are being cared for by
the Messrs. Giroux and Allen, of the
mining company. Two special trains
have left here, carrying tents and other
material.
Where the fire originated was the
scene of drunken carousal Various
parties are endeavoring to extricate the
remains from the ruins, and until the
ground cools sufficiently to permit
rescuers to approach the debris it viii
be impossible to ascertain definitely the
names of the victims. Several promi-
nent mining men are said to have
been in town and are unaccounted for.
Hundreds of pounds of giant powder
were used in an attempt to arrest the
flames by demolishing buildings, but
eve witnesses state that as soon as a
gap was made, the scattering buildings
were licked up as if by suction and
thrown hundreds of feet in every
direction, only to ignite and increase
the fury of the fire. The reservoir
which supplies the town with water
was undergoing repairs, but eye wit
nesses state that had water been
abundant, the result would have been

a Steamboat Caused It.


Steamboat Caused It.
Vancouver. B. G., Sept. 12.--The busi-
ness part Of New Westminster was to-
tally destroyed by fire yesterday; loss
estimated at $2,5OO,00O. Despair and
suffering are the lot of hundreds OF
homeless people. Food, clothing and
aid of all kinds are being hurriedly dis
patched from Vancouver. 1t is feared
several people were burned to death.
Campbell, fireman, fell off the roof of
a burning building and was killed. A
woman dropped dead from fright. One
woman who had been confined two
weeks ago, died while being moved from
her house; and another suffering from
typhoid fever, did not survive the shock.
Three river steamers were destroyed
Every industry. save the Royal City
planning mills and the Cleveland Can
ming Company, have been wiped out.
The Canadian Pacific railway station
and the bridge across Fraser river were
burned. The fire was caused by spark
from steamer about midnight, and
within three hours, ten streets were
ablaze.
At New Westminster this morning
there are many peculiar scenes after the
fire. On the wide open space just be-
yond where the fearful fire stopped, a
city of tents has arisen. Here the pro-
yisional government and the Vancouver
authorities are housed in tents lent by
the militia department as well as all the
homeless sufferers. Burned out families
seem to be as comfortable as possible
under the circumstances. Already act
