A knob attached TO the knife enables
one to take firm grip and handle It
easily. The principal advantage which
this instrument is said TO possess over
others now In use are. first, that II &C.
cupies little room and therefore may
be placed on any table; second, that II

700 Dwellings, Two Churches and Sew

Tacoma, n. H.. May 28.-Fire which
started in Lakeport, suburb Of this city,
this afternoon about O'Clock, burned over
large territory and did damage esti-
mated at from 100000 to 100000. The
fire began in the H. H. Wood hosiery mill
and spread rapidly. The Wood mill the
mill of William Howe 4 Son, the lumber
plant Of Bonlia, GorrclI & Co. and the
electric light plant were soon consumed
The fire then attacked the Methodist
church. which was destroyed. BY this
time it was seen that the confagration was
beyond the control Of the local fremen
and help was summoned from Concord
and Manchester. The residential part was
next to suffer and 200 dwellings were burned.
The Advent church was in the track OF
the flames and was destroyed. At O'Clock
tonight the fire was under control
The burned territory is about two miles
square Two hundred families are home-
less and had great difficulty in securing
accommodations for the night The ruins
were still burning at late hour. the fire
having ceased to spread simply because
there was nothing left in ts track to burn.
Many of the houses burned were the finest
residences in the city and some OF the best
known citizens Of I.akeport are among the
homeless.

Even in St. Petersburg the Jews feel 80

MANY Hebrews have received threat
