Sunday Morning Fire.

At 4 O'Clock yesterday morning
the fire bell announced that the
Phil Sprague grocery and meat
market, in the Russo block on
West Main street, was ablaze. The
general belief is that some one had
Knocked down box of parlor
matches from the shelving and the
jar caused by falling on the floor
ignited them, causing the almost
total destruction of the stock and
fixtures. About 3 o'clock in the
morning Mr.. Sprague left for
Beaver Greek on a deer hunt and
he knew nothing about the occur
renee until his return last evening.
The store room was gutted and
the plate glass in front was totally
ruined Carpenters yesterday
boarded up the front of it.
The fire department at once ap-
peared upon the scene but by that
time the fire was we'll under way.
1t was but a few minutes before
stream of water was playing on
the burning building, and the
tiremen indeed deserve credit for
saving the second story of the
building. which is occupied by
Mr.. Russo and family. But little
damage was done to the household
effects excepting by water
The meats, groceries and fixtures
were insured for 81 200 in the
American Central and the building
for $4,000 in the Imperial compa-
MES. The adjustors are expected
to arrive Wednesday,

.illustration of the fact that a-brother,s s hand has shed the blood Of the victim whose sufferings were necessary to the reformation of tho oppressor whenever regeneration was demanded. The domi- nant power has trodden under foot the G nstitution of our fathers, and the sac rificiaI offerings of tho South will re- store 1t, and our country will free itself of the evil that called the great armies of the Civil War into the field. when the time is ripe. ~
 Justice will be again enthroned. It is the sacredness of this Anglo-Saxon cause for which he died that eenshrines and en- nobles the grave of the Confederate soi- dier.
 If each solder was a hero, he could not receive greater honors than all men bestow even upon 'the unknown dead" of the Confederate army. It is not to the heroisln of the soldier. so much as to the. love of his cause. that a monu- rent Is to be erected; yet, braver and more devout men never fell in battle. Justicb demands this tribute of our hearts. and it is responded to as our pledge to our kindred that we. also, will work for the final consumnnation of the great decree that shall free the white race from the ban of negro domination inflicted upon 1t by the Civil War. which Is masuuerading under the scarcely less odious pretension of equality and frater- ntty.

A LIE.
Is It Ever Excusablep-What Do

LOu 4u1ukP
 When Is lie not lie?" When you KISS the bruised flesh of baby fingers and tell them 1t will hurt no more. When you tell the dear sick ones, looking with eager. anxious eyes toward the shores of health, how bright they look and how they are improving day by day. When the doctor, with happy smile. assures his patient he Is on the mend" and will soon be out. When the captain on the wide waste of sea with sinking ship calms the rising. frantic fears till he car, launch the boats away. When the boy at the crossroads In New Jersey was asked by pursuing redcoats which way Masnington went. pointed in the opposite direction. When the genius of the world weaves fiction that enriches all mankind and leads them to the highway of eter- nal right Santa Claus and the stories of fairyland will remain with us forever To-, To do a great good ofttimes requires the think it easy to trace the line between right and wrong, between truth and un- truth. but 1t has puzzled mighty minds of ages.
 A child loves the possible. loves reason and the light. For 1900 years the Chris mas legend has been taught and learned in sun and shade regardless of that holy writ, Thou shalt not lie.' The child asks perfect candor. There is no other soil in which to grow ideal men and women.
 The good comes slowly. Superstition moves with hesitating step from out the intellect of man. So many cling to inc old and will not greet with open heart and hand the new.
 No man defends the telling of a lie. tell and act what is not true. Future Photographers will distinguish betwixt an untruth as falsehoOd and lie Til then look out for merry wars"

MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS.
United for the First Time in Ten Years.
 Boston Special tc New York Evening

Boston Special to New York Evening
 Post.
 r The Democratic State Convention to- day witnessed a gathering which has not been equaled since 1892, when William E. Russell was nominated for his third term then the party has not appeared so much like a strong and respectable opposition. Old-time Democrats who have not been to State conventions for years are here again, and some of the reunions of veterans long separated emphasize the hard road travelled by the party since it went over to silver. These men never be- trayed their principles, and now they are back in full party standing.
 The two parties expect to pursue dif- ferent campaign policies. Owing to the death of President Mckinley, the Re- publicans do not expect to have any stump speaking or to distribute any literature. The Democrats, on the other hand. expect that Mir. Quincy will take the stump soon after his nomination. and speak in every one of the thirty-three cities in the State and in some large towns. This work will be directed by the State Committee, while the Demo- cratic Club of Massachusetts will resume the function 1t used to perform in the Russell days. and prepare and distribute literature. This club has been composed largely of gold Democrats. and it has been idle for the last five years. Its membership is nearly 1000. including leading Democrats in all parts of the State. It is said that there will be no lack of funds as soon as 1t is known what the club desires.
 It is not expected that much headway will be made against Governor Crane. for he has strengthened himself greatly by the veto of the Subway bill at the last session of the legislature, and some of the Democrats say that he is a good enough Democrat for them. But it is expected to put the party in strong shape for next year, and the outlook, as Josiah Quincy puts it, is forwarded to the next presi- dential election. It Is evident from the spirit of the leaders that the party is getting together and the party Is in much better shape today than 1t has been since the silver split in 1896 Some of the leaders are already predicting Quincys election next year.

Greatly Exaggerated

Bishop Charles B. Galloway of Missis- sippi. returning home from his journey to South America and Europe, has this to say in correction of reports sent out concerning the negro question raised recently in London hotel and later in the Methodist ecumenical conference: "The despatches sent out by the press of the i'll feeling caused in the conference by the speech of the negro delegate, Walters of Maryland, was greatly exag gerated and the statement printed in number of papers in this country that led the Southern delegates out of the conference was not founded on facts, and the whole affair has been greatly mis- understood and exaggerated"

 The nomination of Edward M. Sheppard of Brooklyn by Tammany as its candi- date for mayor Is a piece of good politics The only chance Seth Low had to win was to carry Brooklyn by 2o,ooo plurality. This he will not be able to do over 50 good a man as Sheppard. In fact it now looks like an even race in Brooklyn be- tween the two men. It will be simply for Low to command the full vote of the regular machine Republicans.
