At Duluth, Mimi, fifty frame buildings
on Minnesota point, just above the ship
canal, were burned. There was q puff
of smoke, burst Of flame and then
long row of ramshackle buildings were
in a blaze. An hour later 1000 people
were homeless. The fire took twelve
frame store buildings, fronting on lower
Lake avenue, just below the "Under-the-
HIP district, and swept from there back
to the lake shore. The district was popu-
lated by the poorest people in the city.
There are no very large individual losses.
The total is thought to be over 100000.
Among the sufferers We're fifty families
of Jews, members of a colony, who were
at a mass meeting praying for the suc-
cess of the American army in the war
with Spain. There were many narrow
escapes from death, but it is believed that
everybody was rescued.

There is one thing the Spaniards will
learn if the Wisconsin regiments happen
to meet them, and that is that marks
manship is something to which the badg-
ers have paid attention. How they can
shoot! Take the Third Regiment, for
instance, this in preference, for ever since
rifle practice has been made a feature the
Third has been assiduous in that line. Ey-
cry man IN the regiment is almost as good
a shot as the trained sharpshooters en-
listed in the civil war. While the Third
leads, the Second Is a close second. and
the Fourth and First are crowding the
others. When it comes to field officers,
on the other hand, military experts rath-
er give the pass to the First, though
neither of the regiments has cause to
grumble in this regard, and neither will
admit that any other badger regiment is
any better equipped than they with off,

One thing which helps to strengthen
the Iowa soldiers and make them ready
for service sooner than in some other
States is the fact that they have not been
rampered. In their annual regimental
camps they have been kept on regular
army rations. If they got anything out
side they had to provide it themselves.
They have learned self-reliance.

are observed, and the discipline is prac-
tically as rigid as though an enemy lay
encamped but a few miles away. Each
of the companies has from ten to twenty
new recruits, and there are six new COM
panies in the camp, but distributed
through the four regiments. These are
rapidly being transformed into real Sol
diePs, and some of them are SO earnest
and so deeply interested that, were they
uniformed, it would take an experienced
eye to distinguish them in the drills from
the older members of the National Guard.
The work of examining the troops pre-
paratory to muster progressed rapidly.

HIS WHOLE LIFE
 GIVEN TO CHARITY
ARTHUR G. SMILEY DIES AFTER
 A LINGERING ILLNESS.
For Ten Years He Was Closely Identified With Christian Res
 cue Work in This City.

Arthur G. Smiley, superintendent of the Boys and Girls Aid Society, died yester- day afternoon at his home, 1907 Capp street, after a long and painful illness, which was undoubtedly the result of overwork. MT. Smiley was only about 39 years old, but during his all too short life he has devoted all his energies to helping others Thousands of Christian and char itable people in this city will regret his death, and thousands of young men and women who have been torn from evil as- sociations and started on the pathway of virtue and industry will forever remem- Der his kindly and loving assistance.
 M. Smiley was formerly registrar of the Board of Associated Charities. About five years ago he took charge of the Boys and Girls Aid Society, which was then in a deplorable condition. His first act was to inaugurate new system of govern ment at the institution, and he substi- tuted kind words and Christian love for the harsh measures then in vogue. He abolished the sweat box" which was one of the features of the home, and every Sunday morning he threw the doors open and told the children to go to their homes for the day and return at night. During the five years MT. Smiley was in charge only twenty-five boys took adyan- tage of their liberty and failed to return when their furloughs expired
 An air of sorrow pervaded the home last evening. The matron and teachers who have been associated with the de- ceased for many years, could not restrain their tears when speaking of him and his kindly, generous heart.
 He was a son of the late Rev. G. w. and Sarah N. Cooper Smiley of Lexing- ton, Ky. and came here about ten years ago, since which time he has been closely connected with local charitable and re- form organizations.

DRILLED FOR CHARITY.
The Iowa Regiment Gave an Entertainment to Aid the
 Needy

The Fifty-first Iowa Regiment gave an- other entertainment last night at the Mechanics Pavilion for the benefit of the sick and needy. and a second time the big building was crowded with the friends of the gallant soldiers from the Middle West.
 The entertainment was under the aus pices of the Lincoln Womans Relief Corps, and the funds derived from 1t will go to alleviate the sufferings and distress of the widows and orphans of the veter- ans of the late Civil War.
 The first and second battalions of the regiment in command of Major Hume. furnished the programme. The splendid band of the regiment gave half hours concert before the exhibition drills com menced. Companies E and c, in com mand of Captains Mount and Stoepy, re- spectively, gave an exhibition of a skir- mish line of attack and retreat, and Com panies L and M. in command of Captains Pryor and Clark. gave excellent exhibi- tions in the manual of arms and physical

with the authority of Brigader General King. that the regiment had been selected to follow the Seventh California to Ma nila. It was further announced that one of the two boats now en route here from British Columbia-the Tartar and the Athena-would be assigned to the trans portation of the regiment
 That General Merritt has gone further than to merely ask for the balance of his quota of troops is evident from the fact that Brigadier General King is said to be already aware of the troops that will be under his s,, command when he arrives at Manila They will be the Thirteenth Min nesota, the First Tennessee and the Twentieth Kansas
 It Is now practically settled fact that Brigadier General King will have com mand of the next, expedition. The gen eral is making all preparations for a leavetaking in the near future His per sonal affairs are being put in shape, as are also the brigade affairs, and although no orders are yet in his hands, it is as sumed by those who will sail on the Ari- zona and Scandia that they will have the popular brigadier for a commander.

Congregation Beth Israel Holds Im- pressive Services in Commem-

The twenty-fifth anniversary of the or dination of the Rev. M. $. Levy and tho seventh year of his pastorate as rabbi of the Congregation Beth Israel were cele- brated in most elaborate and impressive manner at the synagogue on Geary street yesterday morning. The ladies of the congregation had turned the interior of the magnificent edifice into veritable bower of flowers, festooned with smilaX and myrtle, A large arch curved grace fully over the chair of the rabbi, in the rear of which were suspended the figures '.25'' in flowers, while from the center piece of the arch stood out in bold relief the figure '7." There were also many other beautiful floral pieces, remem- brances of individual members of the con- gregation

RESPECT FOR THE DEAD.
ing to the Burial of De- ceased Soldiers

On the field of battle, where thousands of wounded soldiers demand immediate attention, there Is excuse for delay In giving burial to the fallen, but at a gar rison or camp remote from the scenes of conflict there is no excuse for neglecting the dead. The fact that the body of Pri- vate Joseph Wheeler, late of the First California, was moved from one place to another for four days before it was laid at rest in the National Cemetery is not creditable to the administration of mili- tary affairs in this department.
 It is explained at General Miller's head quarters that the fault of the delay in the burial of the body of Private Wheeler lies solely with the Marine Hospital, in that the officials of that institution Tailed to notify General Miller where the body was to be found.
 To preclude a possibility of further mis- takes the general has caused to be issued the following order:

came to San Francisco for the express purpose of participating in the event. Rev. M. s. Levy followed and in a most inn pressive manner delivered his silver jubi- lee sermon. The services were marked by excellent music, and at their conclusion many hearty congratulations.
 Since the Rev. M. s. Levy took charge of the Congregation Beth Israel many changes have occurred. At that time the congregation consisted of but fifty mem bers Since then the membership has been increased to over POO. The floating and bonded indebtedness, which amounted to over S60 GOO, has been decreased by the payment of all the floating indebtedness and S10 GOO of the bonded indebtedness. Several societies connected with church work have been established, the principal of which is the society to aid ex-convicts. Much good has been done by the society out of the depths by its help.
 Since his ordination the Rev. MT. Levy has officiated at over 1000 weddings, and has confirmed over GOO children. He has performed the service of the golden we'd ding ten times and the diamond wedding once.
 Besides the great amount of work re- quired of him by his congregation Rev. MT. Levy finds time to conduct the Jewish Times, the second oldest Jewish paper in the United States. Notwithstanding his busy life among the members of his con- gregation and in the office of the Jewish Times, he takes the greatest pleasure family, which consists of a wife and six children. Mrs. Levy, who is the daugh- ter of most eminent divine of Cornwall, England, assists materially in the work of the church, to which she is well adapted.
