THE FIRE LAST NIGHT.
Cellar in BOardman Building Occupied
 ny HulIs Drug Store, Burned.

A fire, which from all appearances at the start, threatened to be quite ser- ious one, broke out in the cellar of the Boardman building, corner of State and Chapel streets, last night about 9:45. The part of the cellar in which the fire started is used as the store room of Hulrs Corner Drug store, and for eev- eral minutes after the alarm was rung volumes of smoke poured out of the windows of the ground and first floors of the building. The part of the cellar occupied by MT. Hull is literally pack ed with all sorts of bottles, drug cases and goods used in the drug business, and is difficult place in which to move lively. For this reason the fire men found some difficulty in reaching the flames at the start. The fire start ed it is supposed, by the igniting of the ceiling by a gas jet. which was burn ing very bright at the time. The wood which caught fire was very dry, and it was only a few minutes before the whole cellar was In flames. As soon as the fire was discovered a telephone message was sent in to No. 2s house and before the alarm was sounded from box 26 No 2s engine and hose cart were at the scene of the fire. A great crowd soon collected and expected to witness great fire, but in half an hour it was all over, due greatly to the quick work of the department. The fire was an exceedingly smoky one, and all the rooms and halls on the first and second floor of that half of the bulld- ing overlooking State street was com pletely filled with heavy smoke and slight damage was done in nearly all The damage to Hulps stock MT. Hull was not able to estimate last night, but it is not thought to be very heavy. None of the main part of the building was damaged, but in the rear where preparations for enlarging the store are being made the most damage was done. The floor had to be cut through by the firemen in order to reach the flames below, and a few panes of glass were destroyed. Mr. Hulfs premises were insured. Tn the cellar the damage by water was nearly as heavy as that by fire.

THE YICE ENCY.
Law Applicable to the Ofice-Does Not
 Provide for Succession.

Washington, Nov. 21.--The law ap- plicable to the vice presidency was en- acted January 19, 1886, by the Forty ninth congress, first session. The main features are as follows:
 Be it enacted, etc., that in case of removal death, resignation or inability of both the president and vice presi- dent of the United States, the secretary of state,or the secretary of the treasury, or the secretary of war; or the attorney general, or the postmaster general, or the secretary of the navy, or the secre- tary of the interior shall act as presi- dent until the disability of the president or vice president is removed of pres ident shall be elected"
 The law further provides that when one of the above cabinet officers has succeeded to the presidency, he shall call a special session of congress. A proviso limits the succession to those who would be eligible to the presidency under the terms of the constitution and who have been appointed with the ad- vice and consent of the senate.
 The effect of the law is not to pro vide succession to the vice presidency but merely to ensure succession to the presidency. By the death of MT. Hobart Senator Frye of Maine becomes president pro tempore of the senate and will discharge all the duties of the vice president as presiding officer of that body. The senate rules provide that no election is necessary at the beginning of the session. Senator Frye accord ingly will continue as presiding officer till the end of President McKinley's administration unless he choses to re- sign or the senate wishes to elect anoth- CT senator to the office.
 A curious coincident is found in the fact that of the six vice presidents who have died in office four died in the same month of the year on days of the month that are not far apart, the date of MT. Hobart's death being November 21, 1899; that of MT Wilson, November P, 1875; that of Elbridge Gerry, Novem- Der 23, 1874, and that of MT. Hendricks, November 25, 1885. The other two vice presidents who died in office were Clinton and King. The former died April 20, 1912, and the latter April 1T, 1853.

DEWEY'S SON GETS THE HOME
NATIONS GIFT TO THE ADMIR4L
 1GAIN TR4NSFERRED.
Mrs. Dewey Yesterdny-Explnna Statement by Member of the Family Transfers Due to Desire to Provide for Proper Succession to the Property.

Washington, Nov. 21.-George Good win Dewey, Admiral Deweys only son, is now the owner of the residence pre- sented to the admiral by the American people. Papers were prepared and sign ed early to-day by which Mrs. Mildred Mclean Dewey transferred all right and title to the property known as 114- Rhode Island avenue this city. to George Goodwin Dewey This is the property which yesterday Admiral Dew ey transferred to Mrs. Dewey.

 In explanation of the transaction practically completed to-day relative of the Dewey family made this state ment to The Associated Press: "Ad- miral and Mrs. Dewey have transfer red to the formers son, George Good. win Dewey, the title to the home pre- sented to the admiral by the people of this country. It will continue to be the home of the Admiral and Mrs Dewey so long as he may live It may be desirable now to say that it was the wish of both the Admiral and Mrs. Dewey to provide for a proper success sion to the property. The transfer of to-day completes the transaction begun yesterday and is the carrying out only of the original intention of both the Admiral and Mrs. Dewey. By all those interested in the matter the method of transfer adopted was considered the best and safest that could have been o1 ;. fr Ia urally, that the transfer was to be the act of Mrs. Dewey, as we'll as of the admiral It was her desire that she should release any claims she might have to the property through her mar riage to the admiral, and to do this the transfer was made through her to the admiraFs son as soon as practicable Through the method adopted no dis pute ever can arise over the disposition of the property

the colored featherweight champion, got the referees verdict over Eddie Lenny of Philadelphia tonight after fighting twenty-five rounds before the New Broadway Athletic club.

The utility of music in matters per-

infantry drill regulations of r.ary
countries give the music and siGniii-

alarm. Of service and so on--besides Il
dozen or more drum and fife signals,
all of which is n definite language to
soldiers.
But it's use is not merely confined to
signaling, for music is used in other
ways for purposes of war. In the way

nothing is equal 10 the music Of n brass

has remarked that troops that sing as
the" march will not only reach their
destination more quickly and in better

march in silence, but. inspired by the
music and words Of the national song,
will feel that self-confidence which is
the mother Of victory"
Probably savagcs are the most sus-

In time of peace it arouses their lust

warlike nations that early music was
most developed.
The German army includes more than
10000 military musicians. erpower-
ful nations on the continent employ
rather less numbers in military bands.

Two years ago, according to the vi
emma Fremdenblatt, a Viennese mer-
chant brought back from business
years old, named Ibual Lacho.
Ibual soon learned the ways of vi
emma, beginning with the German Ian
guage, astonishing the boulevards with
elegant costumes and finally acquiring
certain fashionable nervous disorders.
These a famous homeopathic specialist
subjected to electrical treatment.
Strange to say, Ibual began to grow
white, gradually passing through the
coftee-and-milk stages until he became
in complexion Caucasian, though the
shape of his face remained UNCHANGED.

pigment in the boys skin was gradual

were, by the electric current. The chief
coloring matter, melanin, or pig
mentum nigrum, found in the eve, hair
and skin Of the negro, contains iron
and strongly reacts upon electrical APP

American physicians will hardly
know how seriously to take this report.
