THE HAnRELL HOME BURNS.
Quitman Has an Early Successor to
Destructive Fire.

Quitman, Ga, Aug. 1S.-This morning at
? O'Clock another destructive fire occurred
in Quitman, the second in the past month.
This time it was the residence of MIR. w

house. Nearly all the household furniture
was saved by prompt work on the part
of the citizens.
By hard work the flames were extin-
guished before the building was burned
down. The fire originated from a defec-
tive stove fiue. When first discovered the
kitchen was in flames. Mr.. Harrel esti-
mates his loss at 81 800, with 81 600 insur-
ance on the building and furniture in
the Southern Mutual Company
This was probably the oldest house in
Quitman, having been built many years
ago.

Arbitration Instead of War.
United States and Great Bri-
tain Advocate Same
Scheme.

Washington, May 9-Thn United
States and Great Britain will stand
together in the advocacy of the adop-
tion Of scheme for the settlement
of international disputes by artitra,
tion which will be presented to the
disarmament conference at its meet
ing in The Hague on the 18th of the
present month.
The American delegates, headed
by Ambassador White, are equipped
with fair and well digested plan for
the execution of this long cherished
project, while the British delegates
are prepared with a plan which is
almost identical with the American
project.
The details cannot be procured for
publication in advance of the pfesen-
tation of the projects to the cou-
ferences. 1t is known, however,
that there are essential differences
between this last plan and that
embodied in the treaty drafted by
Secretary Olney and Sir Julian
Paunceforte, which failed of action
in the senate when submitted for
ratification The differences are
rather in the methods provided for
securing an impartial adjudication than
in the principles Of the former con
vention, and i. is believed that on
these points the British and American
propositions are not precisely similar
Other points upon which the dele
gates have been instructed are cor
rectly referred to in the cable
dispatches this morning, namely the
extension of the red cross rules in
warlike operations at sea.
Blu! another point in the cable
dispatches is that relating to the
amelioration of the horrors of war
and with this, too, the American
delegates are deeply concerned 1t
was because of the presidents inter-
est in this subject, that Capt Mahan
and Capt Croszier were included in
the American delegation, and the
great changes in modern weapons Of
war which have all followed the last
attempt of an international conference
to treat on this subject, have given
the state department encouragement
to hope that something in this direc.
tion can be accomplished at the
approaching conference.

Perfumes, though still extensively

ancient times. The orientais, especially,
made the freest use Of them. Rooms
were fumigated with vapors of burning

aromatic qualities mixed with some
plant. and scents were Worn about the
person in gold and silver boxes. Beds,

were perfumed with myrrh, aloes and
