ALBANY, n. V, Oct. 2O.-It is now
believed that another life was lost in
the fire which destroyed Tower &

who was supposed to have been in the
building when the fire broke out. has
not been seen since, and it is believed
that his body is undeIfth debris.
The loss, it is now thought, will reach
half n million dollars. \ member Of
the firm said that they had just re-
ceiyed large consgnmcnts of holiday
goods which had not yet been un-
packed and which We're totally de-
stroyed. The firm places its loss at
S350,000, which is only partly covered
by insurance The balance of the loss,
about $150,00O, is divided among about
twenty small firms.

Students Unable TO spell Correctly.

A good deal of complaint has been
made through the newspapers, and
with good reason, that the public
schools are not turning out as good
spoilers as they should, and that the
present system is faulty. The Chicago
Recoyd HvaM says that of the I4t
students who took an entrance exami.
nation in spelling for Northwestern
University S. missed 20 or more
words out of list of $50 which was
fairly selected without special search
for the unusual and difficult. The
comment OF Prof Clark on the show
ing is: Gas long as the word method
of spelling is taught in the public
schools, just so long will boys and
girls enter college unable to spell cor
rectly." This is not an unreasonable
deduction from his experience past
and present, but If his theory is wrong
there is still a very unsatisfactory
condition TO be explained.
