MILLIONS WERE IN DANGER.
Fire Ragged in Vicinity of $31, 0O0,-
 900 in Silver Bullion.

New York. April 16-Thirty-one mill hon dollars in silver bullion in the assay office. at No. 90 Wall Stret, has been in danger of being melted by fire which burned in one of the basements for two hours. None but the employees knew of the fire and they finally overcome it with out assistance.
 Next door to the assay office Is the sub- treasury. where the government usually has from $100, OO00O0 to 800. .O0O 900 stored In some way fire in the silver smeltins room was communicated to barrel of lard mixture used in the smelling pro- cess. There were twenty-three barrels of this infiammable mixture in the room and like flash they were enveloped in a sheet of flame so intense in heat that it was feared the great treasure in a vault of the room would be melted. There was no time to close the steel doors of the vault. and the flames from the bar rels were so close that 1t was impossible for anyone to approach near enough to shut them.
 Fifty employees in the basement, thor ously drilled for such an emergency, were quickly at work, despite the dense smoke. All windows and scuttles were closed to prevent giving the alarm to the public and when. after two hours work, the last vestige of the fire had disappear ed, windows opening at the rear were used to carry out the smoke,

SWEET BREATH When Coffee Is Left or.

A test was made to find if just the leaving of of coffee alone would produce an equal condition of health as when cof- fee is left off and Postum Food Coffee used in its place.
 A man from Clinton, Miss, made the ex- pertinent. He says. About a year ago I left off drinking coffee and tea and began to use Postum.. For several years pre- vious my system had been in wretched condition. l always had a thickly furred. bilious tongue and foul breath often ac- companied with severe headaches. l was troubled all the time with chronic con- stipation so that I was morose in dispo- sition and almost discouraged.
 At the end of the first week after mak- ing the change from coffee to Postum I witnessed marvellous change in myself. My once coated tongue cleared off. my small appetite increased, breath became sweet and the headaches ceased entirely. One thing l wish to state emphaticaIly, you have in Postum a virgin remedy for constipation, for I certainly had about the worst case ever known among mortals and l am completely cured of it. feel, in every way, like a new person.
 During the last summer l concluded that I would experiment to see if the Postum kept me in good shape or whether I had gotten well from just leaving off coffee. So l quit Postum for quite a time and drank cocoa and water, l found out, before two weeks were past. that something was wrong and l began to get costive as of old. It was evident the liver was not working properly, so I be- came convinced it was not the avoidance of coffee alone that cured me but the great value came from the regular use of Postum.I

 "We rejoice as the day approaches. ana in ever diminishing numbers lovingfy deck with flowers the multiplying graves of our comrades. In broken column and with enfeebled step we still carry the flag they loved so well, and march to the same music to which their loyal feet were attuned, our hearts pulsing with joyous pride as we realize that the memory of those who fell in defense of freedom and the right, is immortal.
 Comrades will. therefore, in compli- aimee with well lestablished custom, f1t- tingly observe Friday, May 90, A. D., 1902, aa Memorial Day.
 Post commanders are requested to in- vite clergymen of every denomination to deliver appropriate addresses on the Sab- bath preceding Memorial Day, as so far as practicable posts should attend divine services on that day.
 Post commanders are requested to ask the schools in their respective localities to hold patriotic services immediately preceding Memorial Day, and cooperate With the tedcnefS anu ScHOoi pHicerS III such services. This duty is of special inn portance, for, unless the deeds of the fa- thers live in the hearts of the children, the alta; of liberty will be without in cense.
 This beautiful ceremony of strewing with flowers the waters that run to the sea in memory of our sailor dead who fell in the cause of the republic is heartily commended. May the myriad streams, as they go laughing and sparkling on their joyous journey to the sea, carry some forget-me-nots to those who sleep undis- turbed in its restless bosom.

Dr. Hillkowitz says he found iarga quantities of arsenic in the wine and traces of poison in the internal organs. especially in the stomach. The chemical analyses showed there were three and one-half grains of arsenic to a tumbler< full of wine.
 Such an amount could never be ascribed to any accidental impurity in the wines says the chemists report.

 The delay in awarding the contract is due to the fact that the original specin- cations sent out by the New fork areni- tects called for much costlier building l than the s50.00O given by Mr. Carnegie would purchase. The Board advertised for | bids to be submitted on the 1st of Janu- | ary under the original specifications The | lowest bid sent in under the nrst plans was for s6s.0O0, which was $s,We Tho original plans and specificauons' | therefore, had to be changed.
 l They were returned to the New York | architects for alteration and modincauoh. | The architects were busy and there was
 some delay in the return of the plans to i Montgomery. Bids were agafn advertseo | for under the new plans and speciilca- | tions. The Board has been engaged m | the examlnation ana cOnsiuerdtioh oi ehe | last bids. The awarding of the contract
 involved considerable time and labor; ; l This, however, was completed last night | when the Montgomery firm secured the | contract.
 The principal difference between the | first and the modified plans is the ieay- | ing off of the semicircle in the rear oi I the building proper. This semicircle was | to contain the book stacks Under the
 modified plans the book stacks are taken | from the proposed semicircle and moved | into the building The substantial fea- | lures of the original plans remain, there being some modification as to material. | All the alterations were to bring the cost of the building within the S50.ooO linn | it donated the city of Montgomery by An- drew Carnegie. The building Is to be | erected on the lot on the corner of Ad-
 ans and South Perry Streets. The site
 was purchased by public subscription | from the people of Montgomery and the | City Counci. has made an appropriation | to met the running expenses of the l- brary.
 It is safe to say that the Carnegie Li-

 q Taft Will Stop in Rome to Arrange Purchase of Friar Lands.

Washington. April 16-Archbishop Ire- land of St. Paul had a conference with Secretary Root today following talk he has had with the President respect ing the Philippines friar lands question. It was the idea of Archbishop Ireland and Bishop O'Gorman to have this complex question settled directly at Rome instead of through the Archbishop of Manila, who. they pointed out. would have been obliged to delay proceedings greatly by frequent reference of every important phase of the negotiations to his superiors at the Vatican
 The Government here has come to &C., cept the Ireland and O'Gorman view as the most business-like proposition and that is why Governor Taft will stop at Rome on his way back to Manila and en- deavor to arrange directly the basis for an agreement for the transfer of the lands to the Philippine government in trust for the Philippine people.
