A st. Paul chureh nurnea.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 3O.-Late yesterday afternoon the Peoples church, an in- dependent church with Congregation alist utilization, of which Rev. Dr. s. C.. Smith is pastor, was destroyed by fire. The building was large, containing an auditorium with seating capacity of 2,300, Kindergarten, industrial school and other branches, besides smaller meeting rooms, and was situated on Pleasant avenue, just above which runs Summit avenue, with many hand some residences. The residence of President James J. Hill of the Great Northern on Summit avenue is just back of the church, but was at no time in danger. The church was built IF 1888 and, including its large organ, represented an outlay of $105,000 and had no church debt. The insurance was only $5O,OOo. Dr. Smiths valuable private library was in his study and was consumed

The business men of Washington,

The business men of Washington, 'tis said, are elated over the news that the next encampment of the G. A. k. will be held in ther city. Although this was the place decided on at the last meeting ot the national committee there had been some delay in final ne gotlations owing to lack of local SUD- port, and to the fear that the railroads would not grant sufficient concessions. All these difficulties have been adjust ed, and the reunion will take place on the tenth anniversary of the last meet ing at the nations capital.

Captain Clark of the Oregon held quite levee in the marble room of the senate at Washington recently. He is a very modest man, and when the sen ators crowded around to shake hands with him he was plainly embarrassed and blushed protusely. He replied tc the many compliments paid him as un affectedly as if he had been school boy. When Senators Clark of Mon tana and Clark of Wyoming came uI and were introduced, the Wyoming senator said: We Clarks must stano together" The captain laughed. T hope may always be a credit to the family" was his modest reply

WAR TAX REDUCTION
Bill to Be Framed by Commit
 tee at Once.
PRACTICAL REPEAL IS FAVORED.
A Majority of Ways and Means Men- bcrs Said to Be Prepared to Cut on Almost the Entire
 &GS .OOO. .OOO

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The Re. publican members of the ways and means committee held q private cop ference last night and decided to frame q bill for the reduction of war revenue taxes before proceeding further with the subject of Cuban reciprocity.
 Chairman Payne at once called meeting of the full committee for II o'clock this morning, when work on the war revenue reduction bill was be- gun. No draft of a bill has been pre- pared by the Republican members, but it is pretty fully understood that the majority is prepared to favor meas ure effecting very large reductions, amounting practically to repeal of the entire war taxes and aggregating about $6S, 100000. The restriction of recent hearings to beer and tea led to the belief that reductions might be con- fined to these two articles, but the sentiment of the majority now appears to be favorable to much larger reduc- ton.
 At the conference it was the prevail Ing view that as Cuba had been the cause for mourning the war revenue taxes the burden should be removed from this country before considering the extent of relief to be granted to Cuba.
 The question of what percentage of reduction in tariff rates could be made for Cuba was not considered at the meeting last night, owing to the de- termination to leave this until after the war revenue reductions had been ac- romplished.

KEEPING FRESH EGGS FREsH

On no subject, perhaps, Is there greater conflict of opinion than on the preservation of eggs Some urge that the newly-laid egg should be kept dry and others that it should be kept moist and even immersed in a fluid. Of course, by effectually sealing the pores of shell. as with wax or grease the moment the egg is laid. no difference in weight by the loss of moisture can occur r,Eand it is unlikely that anything can enter the egg from the outside. There is little doubt that the change from fresh to a stale condition is partly q question of the loss of moisture and partly dis turbance of equilibrium by external agencies. The simple method de- scribed by Sir ". T. Gairdner in our columns about year ago would ap- pear to establish this view.
 The method consists merely in greasing the eggs the moment they are laid and before they have cooled This procedure Is so successful that eggs so treated are said to be as fresh to the taste when weeks and even months old as they are when eaten an hour after being laid. It Is also sug- gested to immerse eggs in strong so- lution of silicate of soda or water glass. In this case the preservative effect is probably due to the forma- tion of a hard glassy silicate of lime within the substance of the shell, forming, so to speak, 8 perfectly air tight envelope of glass. The egg is in way dramatically sealed. This, however. is no argument in favor of wet storage, and even by the silicat, ing process We imagine that the abso- lutely newly-laid warm egg must be selected for the purpose. It is well known, further, that Water-glass pos- sesses a powerful anti-septic action. Eggs treated in this way are said to preserve their fresh, milky taste for six months and to be indistinguishable from the egg taken straight from the nest.
 Eggs, of course, merely submerged in water would probably get stale more quickly than when kept under dry conditions. The question of the effectual preservation of eggs Is of the utmost importance and one which British producers have consistently ig- nored, an inexplicable attitude by which much valuable food is wasted and source of profit thrown away From the Lancet

COMMERCIAL BUYERS.

Buying for commercial house is usually considered a quiet and safe occupation, but c. A. Burckhardt of Indianapolis, who is the agent at Cam ton, China, for a large European silk firm, has had an experience which proved the exception to the rule.
 Burckhardt has lived in Canton some years. short while ago he and three companions started up the Canton riy- CT to Shun Tack in a houseboat owned by Burckhardt. It was much like one Of the stern wheel river steamers, la- miliar on the shallow streams of Amer ica, but instead of being turned by steam engine was worked by a crew of IS coolies in charge of a boatman. There were several servants besides. When 30 miles above Canton, Burck- hardt was awakened after midnight by receiving bullet in his left foot as he lay in his bunk. An artery was cut and he bled profusely. He tore strip from blanket and bound 1t up and with his three guests he ran up to the deck, all with their rifles. X "stinkpot'' had been thrown on the roof of the house and threatened to set fire to the craft. Burckhardt climbed up to it and extinguished it. Just then the boatman in charge of the vessel was killed by bullet Burckhartlt got down into the cabin, weak and wait ing, and receinved another bullet in the right leg. Pirates had boarded the boat and were shooting in all direc- tions. One of the pirates threw a bomb along the deck, the fuse burning steadily. Burckhardt picked it up and hurled it through the window. It ex- ploded outside the cabin, which was shattered by the concussion. Burck- hardt fell upon the floor after this ef- fort, and while there was handed re- volyer by one of his companions and had the satisfaction of shooting two of the pirates as he lay fiat on his back. He also. received another bullet in his left shoulder, and had a piece cut out of his scalp by still another bullet. His companions were fighting hard and after half an hour drove off the pirates. The Chinese of the crew had jumped into the watar and hid themselves behind the paddles of the wheel They reappeared after the pi- rates had gone, and the boat was turn ed back toward Canton. About day light Chinese gunboat was met, but refused any protection of the white men or pursuit Of the pirates. A launch was secured from a Chinese of ficial and Canton finally reached after 10 hours. Eight bodies of pirates, with bullets in them, were found in the river. Burckhardt was two months in hospital at Canton and two months more at Yokohama The Chi nese government paid him and another member of the party who was wound ed $1O,000 each. Burckhardt passed through San Francisco a few days ago on his way to Indianapolis to undergo surgical treatment.-New York Com mercia1
