The fire was caused by lamp explo-

rented the building to expedite the trans

frame structure. located Just at the end
of the Union depot sheds. The first inti-

and fell to the floor with crash. The

only remaining day on which capital and
greed have not laid their hands. Recently
the b1shop had met a street car conduc-
tor, and had asked him if he were going
to church.
No was his reply, '4f I do 1 shall
lose my job"
Ten years ago there was organized in
Paf1s band Of men whose object was
TO protect Sunday and save it for the
"oIhllS classes. They were not religious

one Episcopal church in ST Pa1l that
could be termed a rich mans church.
When he had come to Christ church. as
rector he had been told by the retiring
clergyman that to succeed he must not
preach against rich mems foibles or So
ciety,s peccadilloes. He had replied:
When L cannot go into the pulpit and
preach the word of God regardless Of
whom 1t affronts, 1 will say l have made
a failure of my calling
The bishop considered It the dutv of q
clergyman to preach the Son Of the
carpenter Of Galilee. He warned his
hearers not to mistake the signs of the
times. There were dangers on every side.
NO legislation could accomplish all for
the workingman. There must be some
thing else.
Bishop Gilbert closed with a beautiful
peroration In which he gracefully alluded
to Christmastide and the benefits of a
closer union in the brotherhood of man.

probably the greatest feat which Stein

of this exquisite instrument IS a scientific

Then there are the large uprights OF
Steinway and knabe with great
round, orgar-like tone, big enough to I'll
a church-eXactly the instrument for use

of floor space and high sorority should
be combined; the piano par excellence
for school, choir and assembly rooms.
Beyond these come the parlor grands Of

of BOth-Menace to Labor In Sab
bath Dissertation.
Yesterday afternoon Bishop Gilbert at
Assembly hail. delivered a most eloquent
and impressive address. 1t was the oc-
casion of the second In the series of meet
tngs arranged between the ministers of
the city and the trades unions. The hall
was fairly well filled, and the bishop was
listened to with the deepest attention
throughout Two numbers were given, as
prelude, by the Citizens Orchestra and
Military band. Bishop Gilbert was intro
duced by Mr.. A. E. Donaldson.
Al the outset Bishop Gilbert disclaimed
being an expert in the many-sided labor
question. He believed, however that the
world stood at the eve Of a solution of
many questions affecting industrial af-
fairs. But he had come to Assembly hall
simply to express some individual ideas
on the great general question concerning
joint interests Of capital and labor He
did not wish to be understood rs drawing
line between workers and non-workers.
The man who did not labor at all, and
| there were few such men, was not with
in the sphere of this discussion. There
was, at present, serious misunderstand-
Ing between workman and employer
| They should each learn to know each 9TH
zer better. There was common ground for
all, but they regarded the, question from
| different points Of view. This the bishop
| illustrated by an Alpine incident He
said that once, while in Switzerland, he
had met a man who had been born and
raised amid the Alps, and the bishop said
| to him:
rs this not magnificent scenery"
$50 far as the scenery is concerned -
replied the man, 81 can see nothing grand
about it, but 1 know it is hard to make
| living here
Another man, an Englishman, had gone
| over to India to hunt tigers. On his re-
! turn to England he said that he had not
seen a missionary while he was there,
| and in other ways appeared to dlsparage
missionary work in India. A returned
missionary overheard him, and said:
Il desire to ask one question. Did you
! see any tigers in India?"
YES" replied the Englishman, "and 1
Filled several of them.
WELL replied the missionary, 81 have
lived In India seven years and have not
yet seen a tiger in that country You
| went over there to hunt tigers and found
| them. Had you hunted missionaries you
! would have found them, too"

on the view point. There were rich men

FISH STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Brown Trout Are Peculiarly Affected
by the Electric Flash.


by the Electric Flash.
Philadelphia Record.
Did you ever hear of fish getting struck
by lightning? They do and the Pennsyl-
vania fish commission mas just completed
an investigation of what at 1rst thought
would seem to be a phenomenon. The
brown trout is peculiarly susceptible to
lightning. During storms, and particular
Ey in the mountainous sections of Penn
sylvania, large quantities of them are
killed. Other kinds of fish with less SEN
sitive organisms are not affected Ex-
perts claim that the secret lies in the
fact that the brown trout rests on the
bottoms of the streams, whereas the
other fish swim a short distance above.
The trout are not literally struck by
lightning, but the electricity is conducted
to the bottom of the stream if there is
any iron in the rocks, and the fish thus
receive a shock. They become paralyzed,
but do not die at once. The paralysis ex-
lists chiefly In the middle of the body at
