JACKSONVILLE'S GREAT FIRE.

Jacksonville, Florida, can boast Of
having had the fire of the year, at
least for the year up to the present
time, which occurred last Friday,
May 3. 1t is estimated by the in
surance companies that not less than
$15,O0O,O0O worth Of property was
burned on that occasion, which
property covered a territory Of 13O
blocks in the very heart of the city.
The fire ragged for ten hours, and
the departments were wholly unable
to cope with it until it had COM
pletely exhausted itself for a lack of
material to further consume. Over
10000 persons are homeless on ac-
count Of it, and many fatal causal-
ties are reported. The fire was a re-
suit of defective wire in factory,
which, owing to the highly infam-
able material with which the build
ing was constructed, soon got be-
yond the control of the fire fighters,
and favorable wind famed the
flames so that the entire business
portion Of the city was soon in a
heap of ruins. Public and private
donations for the relief of the suf-
ferers have begun to pour in, and
soon Jacksonville will have risen.

city.

OREGON'S MONUMENT.

At the little village of Chamopeg,
thirty miles south of Portland a
granite monument on May 2 was
raised by the citizens of Oregon in
honor and memory of the ifty-two
founders Of the provisional govern
ment Of that state in 1843. Those
are historic grounds and bring to
mind great stirring historic facts,
facts in which the government of
this country are deeply concerned,
for perhaps had not these pioneers
rushed out there and early establish

SUNDAY SALOONS CLOSED.

1t is a mistake pure and simple to
say that good wholesome agitation is
not fruitful of most excellent re-
suits. Owing to the peculiar kind of
agitation that was brought into ex-
istence by Mrs. Carrie Nation, even
a city as badly stepped in sin and
vice as was and is Kansas City, an
edict has gone out from the mayor
declaring that all saloons must be
closed on Sundays Immediately
after Mrs. Nations crusade in that
city, for which she was fined $500 bv
the trial justice, the preachers
thereof began to look into the
moral conditions therein, and then
and there begun a fight to have sa-
looms closed on Sundays, and are
now successful in the effort. Mayor
Reed has just issued a positive order
that all saloons must be closed tight
on Sundays. This is a great victory
for Mrs. Nation, the preachers and
the Law and Order League, not only
Of Kansas City, but all over the
country.

A CIVIL GOVERNMENT.

The Associated Press dispatches
from Manila bearing date of May 3,
announce to the world that civil
government had been established in
the island of Luzon snd similar
form Of government would be ex-
tended to other islands as soon as
the Philippine commission could ar
range for it. The population of Ma
nilla, according to the census just
completed, is 244,732 souls. The
capturing of Aguinaldo and the es-
tablishing of civil government in
the Philippines are swift witnesses
that conditions there are rapidly as
suming a normal condition, with
symmetry and shape, and that those
islands will soon be as peaceably gov
erned as the islands Of our own coun-
try which are in close proximity
thereto. There is no doubt in the
mind of the average American but
that splendid form Of civil govern
me Mt will yet come out of the Phil
ippine chaos, and that the day is not
far distant when this country will be
as proud of the Philippine islands
as it is today of Alaska, the purchase
of which was as bitterly opposed as
was the acquisition of the Philip
pines, and the Filipinos will be
equally proud of this country.

The manufacture Of writing pens
is materially falling off. The nine
teenth century saw the steel pen
supplant the quill for writing pur-
poses, and the twentieth century will
see the typewriter supplant writing
pens for the same purpose. This
falling off in the use Of pens is no
ticeable in the manufactures.

BAD FOR THE BOYs.

It is learned from Chicago paper
that detectives are being made out

to spot criminals and to hunt them
down to their places of vice, the
boys not being suspected by the
criminals, as would men in a similar
Invocation. To make a detective out

The most excitement that has been
aroused In Georgiaville for many years
was caused by the outbreak OF smallpox
in the place last week. il broke out In n
French family, named LaDieux, dwelling
In one Of the old stone houses near the
railroad crossing. LaDleux Is about
twenty years of age and resides with his
father, his mother being dead. There IL
large family including several school
children all of whom were Rt home at the
time. LaDieux had been working In the
mill until a week ago last Monday when
he complained of being sick lie left
work and went to a French doctor al
Olneyville, who gave him some medicine
and told him to come and see him again
He failed to become better and blotches
broke out on his face, Monday he de.
cided to go and see the doctor at Olney'
Vile again and 20 boarded the las train
at Georgiavile. TIL brakeman noticed
the blotches upon his face and called Dr.
Lace OF Pascoag, who happened TO be
upon the train. DIR Lace pronounced II
to be smallpox. La Dieux was taken TO
the City Hall and the case was verified
and LaDieux was sent TO the pest house
at Fields Point. The report caused a
Juror al Georgiaville especially since the
young man had been around with others
In both the old village and the new and
many had been exposed TO the dreaded
disease. The children, too, were In
school that day. The house was quaran'
tined. a red flag hoisted and Officer Law
ton guards the house. The school COM
mittee decided TO close the school Tues.
day 1t was opened and DIR. Cook was at
the school house and vacinaed the school
children. Nearly all the villagers are
being vacina,ed also. Where La DleuX
contracted the disease Is not known. II
Is said that FTenchmen had been vibiling
In the village from the vicinity OF Pas
coag. but the report has not been verified.
Another Frenchmen was sent out OF the
mill Tuesday, being suspected, and de-
velopments are being eagerly watched.
There are also one or two other suspects.
As the case OF La Dieux WAS 40 late In
being discovered there is a good chance
Of 1t spesding, especially among the
French. All precautions are being taken
now, however, to check II.
The closing OF school 80 abruptly on
account OF smallpox caused the closing
exercises that were being prepared, TO be
given up. A number of the grammar
school scholars expect to attend school In
Providence In the fall.
