MUCH LUMBER BURNS.
Bad Fire Breaks Out in Yard
of SaWmill at
ElanO

Eland, Wis, June 30.-TSpecial, /
Fire was discovered in the lumberyard
Of w. X. Rideout & Son late yesterday
afternoon. A high wind was blowing at
the time and swept the flames over the
yard, destroying the entire seasons cut
OF about 150000,000 feet.
While the lumberyard fire was at its
height, the residence of John K. Perry
caught fire from the sparks and burned
to the ground. Mr.. Perry and his fami-
ly saved only the clothes they had on.
\ couple of freight cars standing on the
siding also caught fire, but We're moved
out of range Of the flames and saved
with slight damage.
The large sawmill was on fire several
times. 1t was saved from destruction by
the hard work of the employees, who
fought and subdued the flames.
The fire is supposed to have caught
from spark from the smokestack of
the mill.
Rideouts' loss is estimated at about
$4,000 and is understood to be nearly
covered by insurance. Perry's loss will be
about $4,000 with $3.50 insurance.

ARABIAN EFT IICS.
Eastern Despotisms Leave Ample
Scope for Personal Liberty.

Europeans frequently fail to under
stand that many Of the worst despotisms
in the East leave ample scope for per-
sonal liberty, and that the effects of their
tyranny fall more often upon the rich
than upon the poorer classes of the pop
ulation. Yet such is the case and in no
people is the sentiment of individual lib
erty of private action and equality be-
tween man and man more highly devel-
Oped than among the Arabs. These facts,
and the intense but perhaps not fornulat-
ed dislike to the system of life which we
call civilized, contribute to the mainte-
nance of the Sultan's empire in AIoroc-
co, and render its chances of permanen-
cy more likely than is usually believed
to be the case in Europe
The Arabs readily enough adolt all the
exterior blessings of our progress, as gin,
rum, telephones, arms Of precision and
the rest, but utterly reject the essence
of our lives, and hence the difficulty with
which travellers are confronted in ihdc-
ing of their real attitude toward our
selves. This perhaps is the reason which
leads so many writer's to imagine that
the French or any other nation have but
to enter the territory of Morocco and
to forthwith possess it without difficulty.
Nothing could well be more fallacious.-

HELP WIDOWS AND CHILDREN
Mrs. J. c. WhittIesey, a Foreign Mis-
sionary Visiting at Fond dU Lac.

Fond du Lac, Wis, June 29.-[Special !
AT the home Of Mrs. j. g. Whittlesey,
yesterday afternoon. and in the parlOrs
OF the Congregational church last even
ing Miss Coriuna Shattuck, who for
twenty-scyen years has been q missionary
in Armenia, Asiatic Turkey, gave an ac-
count of the work that is being done
among the 1900 widows and 5000 or
phans left in the Armenian massacre of
1885. At the time of the massacre Miss
Shattuck was the only foreign mission
airy III OOrfa. and for nine months it was
impossible to send anyone to her. OOTfa
is not far from the Garden of Eden and
Mt Ararat. and is the country over
which Abraham. Isaac and Jacob walked.
Here" said Miss Shattucl, near the
birthplace of the human race and of au-
thentic history, after 1000 years, we are
sending missionaries to again teach the
Bible. Sixty years ago when the mis-
sionaries first went to Turkey, they eX-
pected to work among the Mohammedans
OF Turkey, but they found that their first
work must be among the nominal Chris
tians of Armenia. The result of the
massacre has been to develop the highest
and best in the character of these Arlne-
nian Christians, it is yet one Of the most
terrible and sad chapters in the history
Of the world" Miss Shattuck expects to
return to her work in August.
