Mr. Van Meter Won.

With bran new speech and one out
of the ordinary, being highly dramatic,
Mr. Ben S. Van Meter, Shelby county
student. won the gold medal for the
best defamation in the contest between
the two Literary Societies at G. U. last
Friday night. Mr.. Van Meter had
read Quo Vadis and liking the story of
the Gladiator, which is scarcely less
thrilling than General Wallace's Ben
Hur, he set quietly to work to memoir
ize the narrative. By culling out and
piecing together he secured a declama-
ton which probably was never before
rendered in public. And since it has
been awarded first prize we shall not be
surprised to hear Quo Vadis' Gladiator
resembling here and hereabOuts for the
next five years by ambitions young ora
tors.

Rare Mementos Of The War. OF Special In
ierest 10 Ladies.
A friend here has a letter from the
Episcopal Rector, Alex. C. Hensley, of
Versailles, wherein he expresses a will
ingness to sell set of pure Mandarin
china. which he lately received from
Canton, China. This fine ware has a
history that gives added value to it.
Rev. Hensley ordered the china
through naval officer who was sta
toned at Canton, China, just at the
outbreak of the Spanish War, and it
was stored in the Olympia, the flag
ship Of Admiral Dewey's squadron just
as the ship were ordered to Manila. A
letter from the officer said the china
was stored in the ship below the water
line, and that if the Olympia survived
battle Mr.. Hensley would receive the
fine plate; if not it would have to go
down. To possess set Of china with
such a history, added to its intrinsic
value, may be the desire of some lady
readers of the CLIMAX, who would like
to possess such a memento of Dewey't
naval victory at Manila. The set or in
pieces can be purchased direct from
Rev. Alex. Hensley. of Versailles, whit
by the way is cousin of Mrs. e. d
Chenault, of this city.

That the recent fair of st. Johns
church congregation was an unquali-
fled success and without precedent
on this side, and perhaps in the city is
certain when it is considered that over
1900 as a net result was realized.
The fair lasted for five weeks, and
came to close Saturday night, FN,
4. The following morning Rev. f. j..
Melley, the untiring pastor of st. Johns
congregation, addressed his parishion-
ers at the three masses on that day,
upon the event just concluded. Father
Melley was greatly pleased, and eX-
tended his congratulations to his flock.
He told them that he could not then
give even a rough estimate of the
amount realized, but promised that
yesterday he would be able TO give the
figures.
The feeling of unbounded pleasure
was mutual with rector and congrega-
tion when Father Nelley informed his
congregation yesterday of the result
of the fair.
The gross amount was S14,976.27, and
the expenditures will amount to about
500. The closely estimated amounts
taken at the several booths is as fol-
lows: Ladies' auxiliary to Division II,
Ancient Order of Hibernians, s., 100:
Blessed Virgin Sodality, $1,000: st.
Irene's Ladies' Total Abstinence and
Benevolent society, Sl,79S: Ladies'
Catholic Benevolent association, branch
22i, $500; ladies, parish table, 81, 200.
The lot donated by Congressman Con-
nell at Connell park. and won by Peter
Moore, brought the sum of $1,i37. The
contest between Attorney P.W.Gallagh-
er and Common Councilman NJ. ]. Gu
sick, for violin, added about 81 300 to
the fund, and Misses Julia Donnelly
and Tillie Magee, competitors for q
diamond ring, turned in over 81 900
From the sources noted over $4,000
were received. Minor contests for dolls
and the hundreds of articles CHANGED
off form the remainder Of the total
amount realized.
rather Melley again assured his par
ishioners that the erection of theft
proposed and much needed new church
edifice will be commenced as soon as
plans for the building are made and the
weather permits of excavation. The
new church Of St Johns will be built
on the spacious piece of ground al
Pittston avenue and Fig street, and
extending along the avenue with {
frontage of two hundred feet. Nothina
definite with reference to the cost and
style of building to be erected can b:
given at present.

AFTER A MISCREA-NT

Ihe alarm of fire sounded at |
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, was
caused by the indiscreet action of
some unknown person. Smoke was
seen issuing from the apartments of
Isaac Gortsman, who occupied a por-
ton of the dwelling at Az South
Washington avenue and the alarm
was sent in. When the companies re-
sponded after a hard pull, no one
knew where the fire was.
GOrtSman came out and stated that
lamp had exploded in his kitchen
but that there was not the slightest
need of calling the firemen to assist in
putting out the blaze. His wife had
placed lighted lamp in the refrigera-
tor for the purpose of thawing some
frozen meat. The lamp fell over, and
exploded, but the flames We're quickly
eXtinguished, causing no damage.
As the companies were about to re-
turn to quarters a second alarm was
sent in, which brought the Hook and
Ladder truck and the central city
companies to the scene. The arrival
of the latter companies evoked more
confusion and comment. Chief Hick-
ey offered AZ good reward for the ap-
prehension of the person who gave the
second alarm. The central city COM
panies had considerable difficulty in
returning up the steep hill near the
d., l.. & w. shops. Permanent man
Knellar of the Century company,
hitched to the Hook and Ladder truck
and and the latter to the Nay Aug
chemical wagon To help them up. The
run to the box on first tap was so
heavy for the team of the Neptune
steamer, that the animals were bleed
ing profusely from their nostrils when
they reached ii.
CASH STORE FIRE.
Fire was discovered Saturday morn
ing at 1890 o'clock in the cellar Of the
cash grocery store Of w. a. Megareel
& Son, 632 Cedar avenue. Henry Fox,
an employe of Ziegelr & Schumacher
plumbers, was sent to the store to
thaW out the pipes running from a large
oil tank in the basement TO the store
ROOM The floor is we'll saturated
by the dropping of oil when
cans are being filled. Fox got his
plumbers stove too near the floor
and the oil was ignited He shouted
for assistance and West Biesecker
manager of the meat department
came to his aid, while Mr.. Megargel
sent in the alarm from box 81
The flames gained much headway
before the firemen came.
A stream from the Phoenix chem
ical apparatus did effective work, and
the flames We're eXtnguished. The
! damage to the building and stock was
comparatively small, and Is covered
by insurance Mr. Fox was badlV
burned about the face and hands. His
wounds were dressed by nearby
physician. Fortunately the assistance
of the hose companies was not needed
or they would have been handicap
ped. Every fire plug in the vicinity
was found to be frozen.
