A Rouen, France. Nov. 10. dispatch
says: The fire which broke out at the
chateau d'Eu, the seat OF the duke of
Orleans. practically destroyed the
building. Only one wing, the chapel,
and some OF the art treasures we're
saved. The destruction of the chateau
was caused by n fire in one of the
chimneys, which vas at first thought
to be not dangerous. Owing to the
great height of the building the pres
sure of water was insufficient to per-
NIT OF reaching the flames. and the
chateau soon became as a vast furnace.
The greatest efforts were made to
save the art treasurers. but they were
not entirely successful. Many objects
of great value were destroyed, includ-
ing two-thirds of the library OF 80, 900
volumes.
Among the art works which were res
cued was a statue of Psyche" pre-
scented to the late duke Of Orleans on
the occasion of his marriage. in 1889,
by the city of Paris. A large bronze
statue of Princess Marie of Orleans
was also saved.

its flag is one of the Oldest among
the powers. The country's standard,
with its thirteen stars and stripes,
which was first unfurled June IA, 1777,
just 125 years ago, has remained prac-

ress and growth of the country of
which it saw the birth. The star

over Uncle Sans possessions on

exception of the number and arrange
