Fifteen BLOCKS IN ST. JOHN
Fire in Tenement District Leaves
One Thousand People Homeless
and Causes Two Deaths.

ST. JOHN, N. B.. May 25.-Fire that
broke out In building that adjoined the
general warehouse Of p. Nause & Sons, Main
street.. north end, this afternoon, did
enormous damage, q leading underwriter es-
timatng the loss at 100000 and the insur-
ance at 100000
For several hours the fires progress was
unchecked. insufficient water supply, a
Tong term of dry weather and brisk gale
contributed to cause a confagration which
for time threatened annihilaton to the
wooden district where it originated.
Late tonight, however, the fire had died
out and there is no fear of any further loss.
The warehouse was only few feet from
the river, separated only by the wharves of
the Star line, which manages the steamers
plying between Fredericton and st. John on
the St. John river. The course of the fire
was first away from the water and in the
course of half an hour from the first alarm
ten buildings on Main and Bridge streets
were in flames.

buildings on Main street by the use OF
dynamite stayed the progress of the flames
along the lines OF the street railway and
the firemen were able to direct their eff
forts more especially to the district north
of Main street and including blocks Of
dwellings bounded by Victoria, Metcaf,
Bridge, Holly, Cunard and Albert streets.
The spread of the flames was soon stopped
and during the evening the ruins gradually
burned out. ...
The area burned over comprises fifteen
blocks, or portions of blocks, and the build
ings destroyed number $50.

CoNGREG GATIoNAL HOME MISSIONS.
General o. o Howard Reelected
President of the society.

Prcstdent OF the SOctets.
HARTFORD, Conn, May 25.--The business
meeting of the Congregational Home Mis-
sonary society was held this morning. The
report of the treasurer William b. How
land of New York, showed that the debt OF
the society would have been 100000 less
than the s1SS,OOO debt reported but for the
postponement of the payment OF legacies
which will come into the treasury in the
near future. The expenditures of the So
cety for missionary work and operating ex-
penses were less by 5000 than they were
in the preceding year and with an income
from legacies equal to that OF the preceding
year the debt would have shown reduc-
tion OF $50, 900, instead of an increase.
Rev. l.. L. Taylor, d. D., OF Cleveland,
O., reported for the executive committee.
The report recommended the entrance Of
the society upon missionary work in Cuba
and the recommendation was adopted with
out debate.
The amendments to the constitution OF
the society providing for rotation in office
of members of the executive committee
were adopted with but few dissenting votes.
Tue plan goes into immediate action and
the executive committee was newly con-
stituted as follows: To serve until 1904,
Edwin H. Baker of Connecticut; Rev. How

York Joseph w. Rice of Rhode Island,

ards Of Pennsylvania, George w. Hebard Of

p. Perry of Connecticut. William l. Wash
burn of New York To serve until 1900,

A. Spear of New York.

A GRAND FINISH.
In q Stiff Breeze the Columbia Comes in
Over Six Minutes Ahead OF the
Shamrock.

New York, Oct. W.-Through wild
and heavy seas, in a breeze that
approached the dignity of IA gale,
the gallant sloop Columbia today
vanQuished the British challenger
Shamrock by six minutes and eight
zen seconds actual time and six
minutes and thirth-fuur seconds
corrected time, thus completing the
series for the Americas cup with a
magnificent rough weather duel and
a glorious Yankee victory. For the
eleventh time the attempt OF a for
g xner to wrest from America the
yachting supremacy Of the world
has failed. The trophy won by the
old schooner America 4S years ago
il still ours, IA monument to the
superiority Of American seamanshiP
and American architectural ability
and a standing challenge to the
yachtsmen Of all n lions. Unbeaten
America again tastes the glory oil
victory. The intrinsic value Of the
reward which hundreds OF thousands
OF dollars were expended to secur
is small-simply an Anticipated piece
uf s~ilverware. which Queen Victoria
offered to the best sailing ship in the
world in the early days OF her reign,
but around il cluster the precious
memory of unbroken American
triumph and the honor OF mastery
in the noblest Of sports. TO Sir
Thomas Upton, whose name Is now
added to the list dedicated %aspirants
for the honor OF carrying the cup
back across the Atlantic, failure was
a crushing blow. His hope had
been high. But like the true sports
mal that he is, the sting of defeat
has left no bitterness, and, with un-
daunted courage, he intimates that
he may be back with a better boat
TO try again. During his stay here,
Sir Thomas has made himself more
popular than any previous challen-
ger, and yachtsmen of this country
will be glad to welcome him back.
Except for the repeated aukes and
the unfortunate accident TO the chal-
lenger on Tuesday this series OF races
has been unmarried by a single I'M
toward incident. The boats have
had two fair and square races, one
in light airs and the other in a
heavy blow, and Sir Thomas is
perfectly satisfied that he was beaten
by the better boat.

The story of love Is as old as the world.
and as all embracing as the universe. II
furnishes the sentiment for all
all novels-all plays.
The novelist considers il wholly from the
sentimental, intellectual side, but there Is
another aspect even more important-the
physical side. Sentimental love between
men and IN leads to close physical as
sociation-to marriage-to the rearing OF
children. And so health must be consid-
cred. A weak, sickly, head-achey, back.
achey woman cannot be a good, helpful
wife. She cannot bear healthy, happy
children. She cannot give her children
the proper care and training.
A sick woman has no right TO marry. A
sick woman has no right to attempt moth
erhood.
But no woman need be sick unless af-
hicted with cancer. There is a sure way
for her to regain her health. She need not
