The Friend of Many.

A writer in the Criterion says thai
Zola was a prosperous man, whose
surroundings bore all the marks of
wealth. His house suggested rather
the abode of 4 rich banker than of a
literary man. He lived like prince.
Perhaps he was making up for the
struggles of his early manhood. when,
as he used to tell with a sad smile,
he gave up smoking so that his mother
might have two SOUS moro day to
spend on bread for her young family.
Iola's memory of that bitter time
made him worry softhearted toward
others. and especially to young writer's
who were in trouble.
Beggars swarmcd about him. Ev-
cry mail was laden with appeals for
money. which his secretary would
weed out. Tho applicants who were
left after th" process were usually
surprised at the generosity with which
they We're treated. Zola was quick
reader Of character. as shown either
in faces or letters. and ii was not easy
to deceive him. Bnt oncc satisfied
that he ought to give. he gave with
liberality and prompLness.
He spent time and thought. as well
as money, in his charities. Often he
would take great trouble to unearth
some Starving young writer in the
Latin quarter, and place him on
journal. the highroad to success.
Many of the most promising younger
men in France owe their start entire
ly to his helping hand.

story told by London NJ. A. p. of an

With another professor. Finally the
head Of the department said:
I'VE must write to the Kaiser about
it.
"Surely. you would not trouble his
majesty about such a small matter."
Indeed I will. and he will settle it."
The Englishman expected that one
of the Kaiser's secretaries would send
formal and useless reply. But in a
few days the chief professor showed
the Englishman letter, written at
the Kaiser's dictation, saying that his
majesty would. IN six weeks, be visit
ing the ncighborhood of the univer-
sity, and would make a call on the
professors to consult them about the
dispute.
At the time appointed the Emperor
came, discussed the matter patiently
with great tact and judgment, and fl
nally settled it to the satisfaction Of
all parties.

Stories Told of The Famous Physician Who Attended PreS

DR.. Mynter was beside him, giving his

Mann was better abdominal sur.

DR.. Mynter was courteous to most

burn house, where Mr.. Mckinley died,
but one day he paused on his way to
his carriage to pay his respects to the
yellow fellows who were sending out
absolute fakes.
You will grant" he said, with his
Danish accent, that it is impolite to
ignore truth when it meets you face
to face. Surprise your readers for one
day by being truthful, accurate, and,
above all. national"
1t was Dr.. Mynter who recalled.
after the Presidents death, that only
one ruler had ever survived a bullet
wound. That one was William the
Silent, who in 1880 was shot in tho
jugular vein at the instance of Philip
II. A surgeon held finger on the
wound for three weeks. William re.

in the abdomen by Balthazar Gerard

PEPPERELL's RulNoUs FIRE.
A Shoe Shop. Twelve Dwellings and
Eox ShoD Burned

l-S~ S'NP oi'flCo'
PepperelI, Mass A fire broke out in
NJ. c. Grifin's shoe factory and within
an hour the entire plant was not only
lerelled to the ground, but the fire
had extended 30 several of the nearby
dwelling houses
BY , O'Clock something like q dozen
dwellings,, as well as the box shop con-
nected with the shoe factory, had been
destroyed, and the liames were then
apparently beyond the control of the
trcmen. The town has steam fire en-
gne and hook and ladder company,
and this apparatus was augmented by
steamer sent from Nashua by special
train.
Although there was but little wind
blowing when the fire broke out, IA
strong draught was created by the fire
Itself, which carried the flames quickly
from one building to another.
The factory was comparatively a new
one having been built within ~ years.
and consisted of the main building,
about lGON5O feet. six stories in height
with q wing of the same height. 175
feet in length by 30 in width. Over
800 hands We're employed.
The dwellings destroyed were mostly
two-tenCment houses, occupied by en-
loyeS Of the factory and of the Nashua
Paper Company.
A large block owned by Mr.. Kemp,
and occupied by stores and tenements,
was burned; also shoe store, occupied
by Frank Gof'; barber shop, an Ital-
ian fruit store, IA Chinese laundry and
restaurant.
The burned buildings were in East
PeDperell, and the course of the fire
was along Main street leading from
East Pepperell to the centre OF the
town.
At $50 the fire was under control.
The total loss, it is estimated will ex-
ceed $500 900.

and the agents of the cotton mills. The
public is chiefly concerned with the
possibility that some means may be
agreed upon by which a strike may be
averted. a compromise is not expected.
1t is generally understood that had
the agents offered percent in re-
spOnse to the demand for 10 percent adj
vance it would not have been accepted.
or. at least. not without a bitter fight,
one reason being that such an offer
would have been interpreted as a move
on the part of the agents to create dis
