Chicago thronged scores of churches in
which anniversary memorial services
were held. At the First Methodist
Church were union services. One Of the
most notable features was the address
there by Rev. Mr.. Milburn, brother of
John G. Milburn, at whose house in
Buffalo President Mckinley was a guest
when he was shot and where he passed
away. In the First Methodist Church
every seat was occupied and all the aisles
were filed. Rev j. P. Brushingham,
the pastor of the church, had charge of
the services. Nearer, My God, to Thee"
was the first hymn. DR.. S. y. Upham of
Madison, n. j., led in prayer. AS he
prayed for the sOrroWing widow at Can
ton, awaiting the close of her lonely life,
hundreds of eyes were filled with tears.
Carl Young and Miss Nellie Brushing
ham sang Lead, Kindly Light" one of
President McKinley's favorite hymns. AS
the first words, Lead, kindly light, amid
the encircling DOOM" reached the audi
ence many put handkerchiefs to lashes
that were not dry. For moment year

light night of year before. They We're

Fire in the Beaumont, Texas, oil field
destroyed large number of derricks and
several pumping plants and thousands OF
barrels Of oil. 1t was reported that two
lives were lost. The flames started in
waste oil along the Texas and Sabine
tracks, destroying long trestle before
they were communicated to a number Of
huge settling tanks containing thousands
of barrels Of petroleum, which exploded,
scattering the fire over wide area. The
ground was saturated with oil and little
could be done to stop the progress of the
flames.
At Gladys, which is the station at the
oil field, the whole Of the Keith Ward
tract, embracing several acres and con-
tanning a large number Of wells, was
burned over. The fire then reached the
big Higgins tank No. 2, from which the
Oil ceased to flow, but burned inside the
tank.
Mounting in tall columns of fame, the
oil gushers burned fiercely.> Dense clouds
of smoke enveloped the Keith Ward
tract, but here and there the streaks Of
blaze could be distinguished in the awe
some view. The loss was first estimated
at 100000, but it is believed this figure
will be largely increased
On Spindle Top Heights, which is about
four miles from Beaumont, there are
more than two score oil spouters, many
Of them gushing 100000 barrels of crude
oil a day. These wells and their tanks
etc., are valued at $1,000 900. Some OF
the wells are so close together that the
timbers of their derricks nearly touch.
From Spindle Top the oil is sent to Port
Arthur either through pipe lines or in
tank cars. The production from this dis
trict is said to exceed that of any other
oil field ever discovered, not excepting
Russia's great wells

WANT TO ROUT LOlTERS
Milton Merchants Resort to Schemes
Which Prove InayaiIing

Milton, June 23.-Milton merchants
are trying to solve the problem Of
keeping loafers away from the front
steps of their stores on Sundays and
in the evenings, but have so far fail
cd. They are now ready for sugges-
tions of new plans.
One plan tried was to pour oil over
the steps of the stores The idea was
that the man who sat upon the oily
steps would spoil his clothing. and
would soon leave. not to return again.
Evidently the loafeH heard Of this
plan early, for they dressed themselves
in clothing which was not affected by
oil and proceeded to sit about as usual.
Since then some of the men keeping
stores have talked OF coating the steps
with coal tar. so that the loafers
would stick fast II they sat down, but
this plan was abandoned The store
keepers figured out that it would take
too much time to scrape the coal tar
from the steps on Monday mornings.
It is not known what scheme will be
tried next. but some have suggested
that the town policeman take hand
and arrest some Of the people who In
sist upon loafing in front Of storhouses
and other places where they are not
wanted.

Military Crimes.

Hardship and privations do not I'M
prove the temper, and insubordination
easily supervenes,, while the temptation
of drink, If it is to be had, is too often
Irresistible to weak but well meaning
men long deprived Of such dissipation.
Another fruitful source of transgres-
sion which, If we are to trust vague re-
ports, became at times epidemic was
the almost naturals surrender to phys
ical exhaustion, says Major Arthur
Grihiths in The Fortnightly Review.
To sleep on sentry is'one of the most
serious Of military. crimes. 1t is mex
cusable from the military point of
view, for the safety Of thousands may
hang upon the vigilance of one man,
yet the strain of some wearisome, long
proracted march or fatiguing opera
tions win sometimes explain what can
not be defended.
Nor can we shut our eyes to possible
guilt of a more contemplate, if not
mort fragrant, kind. Misbehavior be
fore the enemy-cowardice in plain
English--is not absolutely unknown in
our or any other army. 1t is wiser
perhaps, TO draw a veil over its exhibi
ton and the punishment that must fol
low, yet we cannot shut our eyes to the
certainty of its occasional occurrence.
