HAS LOST HIS HOME H =.
The Residence of Less Sylvester, on Second
Street South, Destroyed by Fire 1T an
e.. Early, Morning Hour. I

About 2:30 O'Clock Friday morning
an alarm OF fire was turned in from
the First ward. The home of Less
Sylvester, on Second street south,
was found to be enveloped In flames
by the members OF hose companies
l and 2 and chemical company No. 1.
They soon had two or three streams
playing on it and by diligent work
managed to keep the fire from
spreading as a brisk wind was blow
ing in a north westerly direction.
Very little of the building remains
standing nearly all being consumed.
A sewing machine, stove and part OF
a bed room suit were all the house
hold goods saved, the rest having
gone up in smoke.
Mr.. Sylvester, who ia employed by
E. G. Anderson, had his building in
sured for $40 in the Fireman's In
surance company, of Baltimore, and
his household goods for $500 in the
Norwich Insurance company, Of
England.
The origin OF the fire is unknown
us there was no one in the house at
the time. Mrs. Sylvester and children
have been visiting friends in Swan
Vile for the past week. Thursday
afternoon Mr.. Sylvester and Geo.
Hamlin were In the building work
ing. The built'a small fire in the
cook stove and then went up stairs
where they remained at work until
about 4.3O o'clock in the afternoon.
They smoked a few cigars while at
work and threw the stumps away.
MIR. Sylvester says when he left the
building Thursday afternoon the fire
in the cook stove had about died out
and that there was no other signs OF
fire In the building. He feels the loss
keenly and says the insurance will
not cover it. He has not decided
whether he will rebuild at once or
not.

Must Stop the Practice.

Mayor Nichols is authority for
the statement that unless the
numerous merchants and business
men OF the city refrain from throw
ing their waste paper in the street
or burning it there or using the bust
ness highways as a receptacle for
deteriorated fruit and the like
the penalty clause OF the city
ordinance relative to such will be
enforced. Since our streets have
been placed in good condition the
mayor sees no reason why each
business man should not lend
his assistance in keeping them neat
and making them q cridit to the
city. There ia an ordinance which
makes it an offence to throw paper,
fruit, etc. in the street and unless
those merchants who have been in
the practice of doing this take the
task unto themselves to quit it some
OF them will be brought to account.
There has been a laxity in enforcing
the ordinance. The attention OF the
mayor was called to the matter by
q committee of the Women's Civic
league. The businessmen along the
streets should be willing, to comply
with the ordinance. -,

permanent settlement of the interna-

He urges: First. that the Empress
and her advisers should not be allowed
TO negotiate the peace.
Second that the Emperor. who is a
friend of the foreigners, should be re-
stored.
Third. that all re-actionary officials
should be arrested and that a careful
watch should be kept over the so-called
friendly viceroys in the south.
Unless Yung I.u. Prince Tuan and
the others are severely dealt with,
Kang Yu Wei contends they will con-
tinue to say that the foreigners arc

The foreigners cannot rely upon the
viceroys." continued the Cantonese re-
former. They send men, money and
armaments to the Empress and are her
obedient servants. Should the EN-
peror be restored the empire would re-
