PICKER HOUSE BURNED.
srisk Afternoon Fire Does Damage a
East BrookfIeId.

East Brookfeld, Nov. 17.-An alarm
was sounded at o'clock this afternoon
for a fire which destroyed the picker
house of the Mann & Stevens mill A
few minutes after the alarm, the entire
wooden part of the building was all
ablaze, but the excellent fire service OF
the mill kept the blaze from the brick
part, which is divided by a space OF
about d foot.
The steamer company was early on
the scene, but, as usual, steam was not
gotten up for some time. The fire was
supposed to have originated from fric-
ton caused by nail going through the
picker. The loss is unknown, but it is
supposed that it is fully covered by
insurance.

end to Spanish misrule on the West
ern Hemisphere is now, before the
governments mentioned have time
to get together, Every day that
passes without anything being
done gives these countries more
time to prepare for war. Any
further complications can be averted
by striking the decisive blow at
once and ending the war. While
the American people sanction the
war from humanitarian standpoint
they most emphatically condemn
the policy that is being followed by
the authorities at Washington in
the interest of the money power.
The bondholders and money sharks
want the war continued; they want
other nations drawn into it, and are
using every means to have it con-
tinued in order that they may in
vest more capital in bonds, drawing
high rate of interest. Every ma
tion that can be drawn into the af-
fair will have to have few dollars
and the longer it continues the bet
ter the opportunity Of the money
power. Things have so shaped
themselves that this is not war of
the people but one most emphatic
ally Of the money power and the
