out considerable information concerning

gard Davis as the greatest Of managers,

at the house of a mutual friend, and on
this occasion the New York woman wore

1t is a part Of a set which my mother

Southern girl with much interest.
1T seems to be-. but have never eX-

Are the canoes in it like this one?"
asked the girl, showing small cameo in
a twisted gold setting. The New York
woman said that not only were the
canoes like the enc shown but the SCI ting
was the same.
II did not suppose" she said, THAT my
set had ever been duplicated. My father
had it made for my mother just after
they were married"
The Southern grI was laboring under
great excitement and the other guests
noticed it.
Your set of canoes is like one that
my family lost she said
Yes, apparently it is, said the New
York woman.

Later in the evening the Southern girl
offered an apology, but she added that
she still hoped to find her canoes in the

new PARTY FOR BRYAN
WASHBURN, OF MASSACHUSETTS,
ISSUES A FORMAL CALL.

BOSTON, Nov. 1S.-An address to 1.-The
reform forces of the country" has been
issued by George F. Washburn, president
of the Bryan Club Of Massachusetts and
the national committeeman of the Peo-
pies party, in which he says:
THE campaign of 1900 was q contest
Of conscience against capital 1t was
the greatest struggle for human rights
since the days of Jackson and Lincoln
The re election of Mckinley was a VIC
tory for imperialism and the trusts But
our grand reform movement will roll on
to ultimate victory.
'It is beyond the range Of human
probability that Bryan will again be-
come the candidate Of the Democratic
party. But he can lead to victory a new
party, conducted on safe and conserva-
tive, yet progressive, lines. Therefore. to
maintain our present momentum, a new
party must be formed We must have
a complete reunion of reform forces.
This can be accomplished by uniting the
Bryan Democrats, Bryan Republicans.
Populists and other smaller bodies, to be
led by the man of the hour, whoever. he
may be. [ believe that if such a partv
mad been formed four years ago Bryan
would have triumphed this time. Ac-
cord1ngly propose that at a future date
we have conference Of the parties an
some place in the central part of the
country, that we may begin the organiza-
ton Of new party"

ter, one of the most finely finished houses
of worship in the United States, when
they were discovered.
Flames burst through the roof of the
sacristy, and this, with the cloud of
smoke that was liberated, attracted the
attention OF some students in the next
hall. The WOrshipers filed out Of the
doors in an orderly manner, and soon
the university fire companies were to-
gether and efforts to quench the fire be-
gan. Little Roadway was made at first,
and an appeal for aid was sent to South
Bend.
Chief Kerner ordered two companies to
the university, and shortly afterward
on second call, two more were hurried
from the town. Just before they reached
the university, however a drenching rain
set in. 1t soaked the woodwork Of the
threatened buildings near by and gave
short life to the fire brands that already
had begun to pour through the roof of
the sacristy, and, borne by a stiff breeze,
to sweep the university grounds. The
workers redoubled their efforts, but in
spite of this combination of forces the
fire Nburned for two hours 1t was, how
ever, confined to the sacristy.
President Andrew Morrisey said he was
thankful the fire did not spread to Corby
hall or the church. The latter cost near
ly S5O0,O00 and was twenty-seven years in
building. Next to ST. Patrick's cathed-
raj, of New York, it is in point of con-
struction and decoration the first in rank
of such structures in the United States.
Much of the work on the interior was
