BIG FIRE IN PARIS
Stores of Alcohol and Oil Burned With
 Fatal Results

Paris, February 25.-As the result of fire that broke out this morning at Saint Queen, a suburb of Parts, in a store containing al- cobol and oils, a series of explosions fol- lowed, spreading the flames to six immense warehouses, and all were soon in a huge confiagration. A concourse of spectators had assembled. and had approached too near when suddenly and unexpectedly the ex- plos4on occurred. large number of people including some firemen, with more CT less injured.
 The official computation shows that one hundred and fifty were hurt, and quite a number seriously.
 The fire broke out at o'clock from some cause, as yet unknown, and had obtained firm hold before it was discovered. It pro- gressed without exciting incidents during the morning, and at o'clock had been got ten under control At 4 o'clock however the falling walls permitted the flames to reach a number of alcohol vats, and then the explosions began to take place.
 The block of warehouses were almost sur rounded by unoccupied ground, over which the burning alcohol spread when the builtf- ings collapsed, resembling a sea of flame, and causing constemation throughout the district. People in the dwellings nearby be- gan hastily removing their effects. The suf- locating heat and fumes seriously fampered the work of the fire brigade. A number of engines were sent from Paris to assist. The firemen worked fearlessly, and more than once were percipitated to the ground by falling roofs and walls.
 A detachment of soldiers aided the firemen in emptylng the adjacent houses of furni- ture, and the ambulances were kept busy in carrying victims to the neighboring hos- pital.
 Fortunately, the flames did not reach the immense reservoirs of petroleum. The loss is estimated at 2,OOO, 900 francs

squadron will be scattered again on April after months exercise. Nor Is public confidence strengthened by such state- ments as are made editorially in the naval military record, which ayers that there are eight or nine modern French battleships capable of sinking the reserve fleet, and that though France now has only six of such vessels with .her northern squadron, sine could quickly get the two needed from the Mediterranean without attr 4cting sus- picion, while the amalgamation of her northern squadron with that of Russia's Baltic fleet would altogether outclass Great Brdtain's reserve, which, this service paper declares, is a heterogeneous and by no means a modern conglomeration, lacking in an the essentials of a trained battle fleet. As remedy, it is urged that new ships, not included in the reserve, be 1m- mediately commissioned, and that power full modern fleet be assembled dn home wa ters to await contingencies. The army, or rather its system and the majority of its generals, has so disappointed the bulk of the British people, that 1t has not failed to eritefse and underestimate everything else British, and the navy is getting it's full share

The Spectator adds:
 ''If Amenica asks us to give up the clause forbidding fertilization, we ought to. and most certainly should at once agree to do so"

CHILDREN's DAY EXERCISES.

Children's day was appropriately Ob- served by the M F. church Sunday school last evening. Children'S day has been set apart by the church all over the world for the purpose of help ing poor students to attend school, and q collection is always taken for that purpose. In this way over $190000 was raised by the NJ. F. church Sun day schools last year and several thousand students were assisted in their efforts to secure an education.
 The exercises last night were well attended and listened to very atten- lively. The children did their work splendidly when the fact is taken into consideration that nearly every one of them have just finished up "a course of measles
 The exercises consisted of songs. recitations. etc. appropriate to the occasion, and q collection was also taken for the purpose before mention ed. and nice little sum realized
 The Sunday School orchestra favor ed the audience with a number of selections during the evening. which were highly appreciated. This musi- cal organization has very rapidly grown in favor since it's organization The success experienced by this Sun day school of late is largely due to the energy of it's superintendent, T. L. Harris. who has infused new life and new enthusiasm into it.

INDIAN BOYS EsCAPADE.

An Indian youth. marked on the map as Willie Ewing. is languishing in the county depository awaiting the action of the next grand jury. Willie is charged with entering KaySer's store at Blackberry, during the silent hours of the night and making an il- legal transfer of goods to his wigwam and following it with an excursion to Miss Calfee's room. an accomplished teacher of Indian youth. where he took several due bills aggregating $1S00 and some finery. Willie was not con tent with this worlds goods but he had to hold-up the typewriter, q de falcation that he will rue for the bal ance of his days. Everything taken was recovered but the assault on the typewriter. Justice Collins placed the young man under $2J0 bonds which so far his friends have not produced Willie is a boy and q scholar and he knows no home but the reservation and he probably could be found when wanted if turned loose. The attempt to screen Willie by charging Mapata with being an accomplice will not help the cause of the young man.-Mineral Wealth

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deaf ness. and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an infamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed, you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deaf ness is the result. and unless the in fiammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca tarrh, which is nothing but an 3n- famed condition of tAe mucous sur faces.
