were gotten off the track where they

When things are ''the best" they be-

Hare, leading druggist, of Belleville,

liver, kidneys, bowels, blood and
nerves. Erectric Bitters tunes up the
stomach, regulate liver, kidneys and

Fire al St. JOseph's HOme.-Fire broke
out in the school building and club
House of st. Joseph's Industrial
School between one and two o'clock
Sunday morning, and despite every
effort to save the building it was
burned clear to the ground. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but is
supposed to have been caught from a
defective flue. The Sisters Convent
and the kitchen building stood near
the burning structure, and for the
time being it looked if they would be
consumed too. Several times they
caught fire, and it was only heroic Ell
fort that saved them. When the alarm
was given, Clayton was reposing In
peaceful slumber. Excursions trains
from the Republican jubilee at Will
mington, were just about that time
pulling into Clayton. Quick response
was soon made to the the call for help,
and the Clayton Hose Company were
on the spot shortly after, using every
means within their power to save
confagration. The wind was blowing
steady gale from the southwest and
when it was found that the school
building was beyond control, direction
was turned to save the other buildings.
1t looked at one time as fall would go.
Water had to be gotten from the large
tank, and the tank at that time of the
night was low. Bucket brigades were
formed, and after several hours fight,
the other buildings were saved from
destruction. The loss on the school
building and clubhouse is estimated
at about $4,000, on which there was in
surance in w. o. Hoffecker's agency OF
$4,000. There are some losses which
cannot be repaid. One was a fine
painting of the late Father DuReyte1
and several volumes of the club room
library, the whole of which was de-
stroyed.

No Panic in Ennlana.

One of the most striking features of
the present situation is the steadiness
and freedom from panic shown, not
only as is natural, in military circles.
but in the British public at large. This
has been equally noticeable upon pre-
vious occasions when partial and pre-
hminary reverses had occurred in the
initial stages of campaign. Military
students, of course, are aware that 10
meet with uncheckered success in o
contest with a brave and well-armed
enemy is piece OF good fortune too
good TO be relied upon. for, in spite of
the skill of commanders and 1he valor
of troops, isolated checks and reyerses
are as probable in military campaign
as In the conduct of complicated busi-
ness transactions. Especially must this
be the case where troops are dependent
upon long line of communication in
the presence of forces numerically their
superior, and where relatively small
bodies of men are operating over iiold
of vast extent and arc necsss3rils &C
