Fire at Char1estown Navy Yard.

BOSTON, Nov. PA threatening
fire broke out in the Charlestown navy
yard this morning. The fire started in
the vending shed, a large building near
the equipment plant and for a time 1t
was feared a heavy damage would re-
suit. Two alarms from a box in the
yard Captains house were sounded, and
engines were sent out from this city
and the fire boat steamed up to one
of the yard docks. The vending shed,
one of the Oldest structures in the yard,
was destroyed, entailing a loss esti-
mated at between $4,000 and $10O 900.
The marines in the yards and the sail
ors on the Machias and Wabash as
sisted in fighting the flames and adj

Recruiting for Boer Army.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 25.-Recruit-
ing for the Boer army, it is alleged, is
being conducted here under the direc-
ton of an organization known as the
Irish National Society. It is asserted
that last Thursday night $50 men left
this city en- route to the Transvaal to
join the Boer forces. Recruits in much
larger numbers are said to have been
shipped at numerous intervals since the
beginning of the war; 1t is also as
serted that recruiting is going on in all

Hard Blow at Divorce Industry.

BISMARCK On. ID, Nov. 25.-The
State Supreme Court in it's decision just
handed down in Graham VS.. Graham,
strikes another hard blow at the di-
vorce industry. 1t holds that residence
in the State must be bona fide and
characterized by the intention to stay
to give the litigant the benefit of the
State law. Those who came to the
State for the express purpose of secur-
ing divorce do not acquire residence.
While the last Legislature increased the
period of residence requisite from nine
ty days to year, this decision will af-
feet the status of many divorces
granted by lower courts prior to the
going into effect of the new law.

tions for the new school buildings. It
was spread upon the table and care
fully examined by the board and fully
discussed.
Mayor Magofln stated that he had q
few words to say. He said the second
ward would hold more people than all
the other wards put together. The
Me1 leans, said he, are An important
part of our population. They perform
nearly all the manual labor of the city
and they are undoubtedly worthy of
recognition by the board. He said he
thought the school should be larger
than q six room house. He said how
ever that the amount expended in the
second ward ought to satisfy the peo-
pie therein. He said he had assured
the Mexican people of the second ward
that he would treat them fairly in the
allotment of funds If they would vote
for the bond issue and that they SO
voted with that understanding.
Superintendent Martin said that in
his opinion the board should proceed
on the proposition to erect six room
Mexican school and an eight room
American school in the second ward.
Judge Harper favored this plan. on
