Rival Church Factions Have Fierce
Fight In Chicago.
Chicago, Feb. 10.-Rival factions of
the Greek Orthodox church had a
fierce fight during a meeting, and
when the trouble was over one police
man was among the list of injured,
while several Greeks suffered with
bruised heads. Knives were flashed
and fierce threats made during the en-
counter
When the trouble began three po-
licemen attempted to stop it, but the
officers were pushed and nearly 300
men were fighting. One policeman
was struck by a chair and knocked
downstairs. A riot call was turned in,
and on the appearance of a large body
of policemen the rioters were panic
stricken and jumped out of windows
and down stairWays. The police charg
ed into the crowd and after several
minutes of fighting succeeded in re-
storing order,

New Orleans, Feb. 10.-New Or
leans practically suspended business
today and turned out more than half
it's population with a multitude of Wis
itors to receive Rex, the king of the
carnival and his royal suite. His ma
jesty came up the river on the United
States ship Ranger early this after
noon with scores of gaily decorated
river craft in his wake and amid the
thunder of cannon and the screech-
ing of steam whistles landed at the
head of Canal street where an i'm
mense crowd of people greeted him.
The weather, though a trife cold
was ideal. Through the principal bus
mess streets of the city the king was
escorted by an effective military pa
geant, of which the most attractive
feature was the appearance of the old
guard of New York and the burgesses
corps of Albany.
The visiting soldiers were accord
ed an enthusiastic welcome
The city is crowded with visitors
and every hotel and clearinghouse is
having its full capacity tested, while
thousands of private families are en-
tertaining guests. The program for
tonight includes a magnificent pa
geant by the Krewe of Proteus, to be
followed by a ball at the French opera
house.

Diamond Story a MYTH.

Butte, Mont, Feb. 10.-State Sena-
tor HoDson, who is largely interested
in the Sapphire diggings in Fergus
county, says the story in circulation
throughout the east of the many dia-
monds being found in this state is a
myth. The stone that is creating all
the furore is a white sapphire, very
hard, but Of comparatively little worth.
In investigating for miles along the
creek it is found these white stones
can be taken out by the barrel.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name OF the Company

Paterson, N. j., Feb. 10.-The fire
confagratiOn which burned it's way
through the business center of Pat
erson yesterday has completely spent
It's force and Is quickly dying out in the
ashes and broken brick of it's ruin. The
firemen who hurried from other cities
to save the endangered city have gone
back to their homes and several com
panies of the local department have
been ordered to their houses for rest
and refreshments they sorely need.
Loss Amounts to $8,000,000.
Conservative opinions inclined to-
day to cut $2,O00,0OO from the aggre-
gate loss of $1O,OOO,000 agreed upon,
and $8,000,000 will probably be accept
ed finally as the cost of the fire. No
tabling of individual losses than can
be accepted as reliable has yet been
adopted, and it will be several days
before satisfactory figures can be pre-
pared. Equally incomplete is the esti-
mate of insurance. 1t was stated here
today that the insurance amounted to
between $4,000 900 and $5,000000, but
what gave basis to the calculation was
not clear Several of the largest los
ers said that they had not yet had an
opportunity to examine their policies,
and that in the meantime they could
not tell what amount they carried
Probably no fire of equal magnitude
and widespread destruction ever pro-
duced an equally small list of losers.
Many of the fire volunteers and the
firemen were injured by falling bricks
and timber, burned by flying firebrands
or temporarily overcome by smoke,
but only a few of them needed medi-
cal attention.
The small casualty list is explained
by the fact that the people had ample
warning and time to abandon their
homes before the flames came upon
them.

Aid for Stricken City.

A bread and coffee famine was
averted by outside aid A Newark
bread company early this morning
started wagons loaded with 5000
loaves of bread for free distribution in
the stricken city. Wealthy residents
of this city ordered large supplies of
coffee and provisions from Passaic,
Newark and New York. The ladies'
relief committee has established it's
headquarters in ST. Pauls Episcopal
church on Broadway and will provide
food to all who may apply for assist
ance.
The fire made no headway during
the night. Famed by strong wind it
burned fitfully in places during the
early hours of the morning but wher-
ever it showed threatening strength
the firemen turned streams on it and
beat it down. The firemen were com
pletely exhausted after more than 80
hours continuous work, but remained
at their posts. There was compare
lively little suffering upon the part of
those rendered homeless by the fire,
and the armory, churches and public
shelters opened their doors to but few
applications during the night Practi-
cally every home that escaped the
flames was thrown open in a spirit of
broad charity and nearly every refu-
gee found shelter of some kind.
The declaration of Mayor Winchliffe
that the city can care for it's own is
not concurred in by everybody and
there may be an appeal later for out.
