] tiOns In the City's HistOry-Flremcn II Fought from 8 o'clock Last Night to 1o,cIoc& This Morning Before Gettin g ! ItUnder Control.
 Montreal, Quebec Jan. 24--1 a. m.--
 One of the most disastrous fires from which this city has ever suffered began
 at 8 o'clock last night, and notwith-
 standing the heroic efforts of the fire
 department the progress of the flames
 was not checked until i o'clock this
 morning. The property loss is valued
 at between $2,500000 and $3000,000, and
 was still burning at this hour, though the appearance was that the firemen had at last got it under control.
 Included in the property burned Is the splendid board of trade building, which cost over S500.000 with over hundred tenants The wea ther was cold and the firemen were greatly hampered In this respect. Outside of the board of trade
 building there was not modern struc- ture among those burned. The narrow streets, anticipated buildings and the inhammable nature of the stocks they contained made a combina tion of ma terial against which the department was poWerless.
 The fire practically burned until 1t came to open space, when it gave the firemen an opportunity to work. For a time it looked as if the flames would spread along Commerce street to the Grand Trunk office building, in the course of erection. Crowds of people jammed the streets, impeding the work of the firemen. The police could not control them. Women tainted. their clothes were torn and a few were slight ly injured in rushes for safety.
 The following are estimates of the principal losses: Board of Trade, $600,- 900; insurance, $4o0 900; tenants, $10OO0O M. S. Saxe & O., wholesale clothiers, s75, ,000; H. A. Nelson X Sons Co.,, fancy goods, sl50,000: Beardmore & Co.,, tan ner, sl00000; $. Iverman, Boulter & Co.,, hats, caps, etc., $125, GOO; Coristine & Co.,, furs, $3oO.O0o: c.

Women to the SaloOn-Attacked on Street by SaIoonkeeper's Wife.
 Enterprise, Kansas, Jan. 23.-Mrs.
 Carrie Nation began her crusade here to-day, demolished saloon and deliv-
 cred a street lecture. She arrived on an
 early morning train. Early in the morn ing a temperance meeting was held, at
 tended by many women. Mrs. Nation,
 armed with a hatchet, then started for
 the business part of the town, accom-
 panied by several other leaders in the w. c. T. U. They went to Schilling's place, where Mrs Nation smashed the glass out of the door frames and went in. She then smashed the big mirror, chopped gashes in the bar and broke all the glasses and bottles on the shelves. Then she went to the refrigerator and took out cases of beer, which she drop ped on the floor, breaking each bottle. This she kept up until Marshal w. R. Benham entered and ordered her out. She compiled, and, calling her compan- ions, gave the marshal a tongue flashing in the presence of the crowd. She then went to other saloons, but they were well barricaded and oeffred no plate glass for her attacks. The marshal re- fused to allow her to chop the doors, and she finally went home. She said she had only begun work and expects to clean out many more places. It is reported that she will move on Abilene tomorrow, and the Abilene saloonkeep- CTS are preparing for her coming.
 Topeka, Kansas, Jan. 23.-To might as Mrs. Nation was featuring on the streets of Enterprise Mrs. Schilling, the wife of a saloonkeeper whose place of business was demolished, met Mrs. Nation, and, saying, i've got you now" struck her twice in the face. A slight gash was cut over the eye and 1t bled profusely. Mrs. Nation went to a neighboring house and had her eye bandaged and then continued her lecture on the street The crowd was too noisy and she ad- journed to a church near by, where she made long address.

 Boston, Jan. 23.-The Massachusetts Grand lodge, A. o. U. w., has engaged local counsel in an effort to secure the repeal of the state law which permits the Grand lodge to pay to other juris- dictions the funds of the order in this state This is the result of a united ac- tion by the lodges in the state, which have protested because the funds of this jurisdiction, which is Massachusetts corpora ton, are being diverted from the treas sury of the corporation and paid over to other corporations and jurisdic- tions throughout the United States where the death rate seems to be high CT, when no consideration therefor is received by the Massachusetts corpora tion.

Stolen from Napoleon.

Maj, A, Craig Palmer has in his pos
session a cup and saucer for which a
$1,000 reward has been offered and
which was stolen from the house of
Napoleon in 1913.
The cup and saucer have been in the
possession Of Maj Palmer's wife's fam
lily for forty years or more, and were
given to Mrs. Palmer's father by the
men who stole them. They are the
purest china, and the cup is very large
but no taller than the average tea cup
1t is said to be the identical tea cup ont
of which Napoleon drank his tea;
Some time ago the New York Herald
contained an advertisement Offering a
reward of 81 900 for the cup and sau-
Ger.
The reward was offered by relatives
of Napoleon, who live in or near Balti-
more, and who have the remaining
pieces of the set. Maj. Palmer says
that his wife is unwilling to part with
them at any price. Macon News.

State Road Building.

New Jersey has profted notably by
the enactment of permanent road law
which went into effect in 1893 The law
provides for state aid in the building
of limited mileage of permanent roads
each year, the state to pay one-third Of
the cost and the county and municipal
ity in which the road is located the
other two-thirds, The cost of construct
ing such roads per mile has varied from
$4,000 to $5,SS4 The Philadelphia
Times says of the New Jersey road
building:
The total number of miles of stone
and gravel roads constructed since the
law went into effect is 5SS, the increase
for the past year being 14S miles. The
total state outlay for the entire period
was $780, 900. The cost to the localities
has been twice that amount The To-
cal communities are so well pleased
with the operation of the law that the
demand for state aid always out runs
the appropriations made by the legis-
lature. In other words there are more
communities willing to spend two dol
lars for permanent roads in order to
get one dollar from the state than the
state can accommodate. The best OF
the value Of the New Jersey road law is
that it has furnished nearly 600 miles
Of permanent roads.

A METAPHORICAL ILLUSTRATIVE
REPRESENTATION OF NEW BIRTH.
BY Il. II. HYDER.

Marvel not, l say unto thee ye must
be born again" This is one of the
m dst extraordinary momentuous
declarations that was ever promulgated
from the infallible word of God for the
prayarful scrutinizing consideration Of
mortal man. Its paramount unpost-
ponable importance trauscends and
superceds every other consideration
imaginable beneath the heavens; for
on the consumation and fullfillment
hangs the immortal destiny of every
creature, and no creature can possibly
be saved with the fulfillment of this
declaration in the most comprehensive
sense of the term. 1t is unquestiona-
bly, exceedingly incumbent for every
rational creature to experimentally ac-
quaint themselves with tangible real
ization of the inestimable superexalted
benefit of being born in the Spiritual
realm of immortality beyond the incon-
ceivable shadow of doubt. There is
voice crying and irresistably and
incessantly from the depths of man Is
soul for satisfactory solution of this
all important question; while unques-
tionably there is no problem that has
G, er presented itself to mans compre-
hension with more commanding assidu-
Gus anxiety or amazing, augumenting
inquiring solicitude than the all alb
sorbing question of "What must do
to be saved?" And Of my future exis-
tence, what will be my employment in
the great inpenetratable beyond?
which has been the all absorbing ques-
ton of the generations of the super
annuated past. Man oftimes has fear
full forebodings and precautionary pre-
monltory abmonitions about the pro-
tentious future that makes him shudder
and tremble from the crown of his head
to the souls of his feet. Then he in
quiringly asks himself in breathless
bewilderment astonishment: "Where,
oh, where did l come from, and where
am l a-going? 1 have longing unsatis-
fable augumenting desires within. I
eat and hunger and eat again; ] drink
and thirst and drink again; l sleep and
wake and sleep again, never satisfied,
with voice necessarily crying in his
inner conscientiousness and whisper
ing in the ears of his deathless soul the
abomnible niquities of his life. Man,
on the highway of times fleeting years
to another state of existence is arrested
by the Divine Spirit, and at one re-
manded before Jehovah s infexible bar
to give strict account Of the abomna-
ble iniquities of his life that he has
committed from the time he crosses
accountability up to the time he is ar
rested by the Divine Spirit; then il he
