SQUARED
Price of a Nose Is Paid in
 Blankets.

During the Christmas holidays the joy- ful period of peace was celebrated by the Indians at SmugRlers' cove by the con- sumption of a quantity of hooch. The nelghborhood had gathered In a shack in- habltsd by man and his wife, for a ranch erls function. Everything was in full s clal swing when a row was precIpIiated, The particulars of this scrap cannot be leaned, but one of the results was the loss of a nose by a guest of the evening. He told the commissioner. yesterday. that all he knows about It Is that he awoke the following morning and saw hls nose Heinz beside him on the floor. lt has been as serted from such Indirect evidence that It but amounts to a mere rumor, that the nose was chewed asunder by the hostess. While a maj ,r portion of Smugglers' eove's population was broug'.t before the eomls- slOnsr, none of those present could be made to admit that they knew anything about the case. As no blame could DC attaeheu to anyone In particular, ;he commissioner was obliged to discharge both the prison CTS and the witnesses.
 AlltHe side testimony that was 'aken' however, went to show that the partlel- pants ln the affair had settled the matter To true Indian fashion and that the host and hostess of this joyful Christ mas fune- tlOn had, with the help of friends, paid their guest the full value he had placed upon hls nose In blankets. He was there fore bound by the Indian code of honor to protect those who had spoiled his face from further ineOnysnlsnee on that account

FIRE
White Pass House Occupied
 by J. P. Rogers Burned.

At about midnight last night an alarm Of fire was ung from the bell tower, the buglss sounded and both the city and military brigade hurried to the blaze that eou'd plainly be dlscsmsd from all parts of the elty. The flames were pouring from the roof Of the residence occupied by J. p. Rogers land :ownsd bv the ". P. & V R, Co.,, at the corner of Main street and Second avenue.
 Major Pitchers fire boys were the first to turn a sttsam upon the building but the cltv boys were not far behind them. The wind was blowing a gale from the rlh and lt at first seemed as though the rall- road cottages adj jieen, on 10 the South, the 6rst. occupied by Eugene Murphy and the second by W. E. King, were doamed. It took but few minutes, however, to coat them with Ice, and none of the sparks and bun Ing pieces of wood ths, afterwards tell upon them clused any harm.
 The water that was played upon the fl mes did not seem to abats them. As soon as they were subdued In one pl es they broke out In another, The fire bri- glde worked like TrOjins, and at about T o'clock this morning the fire was sxtln- eulshed and today only the ehauel walls and standing furs, stand as a remldsT of one of the best appointed dwellings In the elty.
 Half an hour before the fire broke out the iinitor of the depot entered the house and repIsnlshsd the fires. The fire evl- d.ntlv caught from a stove that was bum- Ing In the kitchen as the flames first broke from the relr of The house. No one was at home when the fire started.
 Mark Phelps and Mr, Hockstt were about the filst to see the blaze and broke Into the premises, where, with the help of others who soon gathered moved out few articles of furniture,
 The loss of the house and contents Is virtually total, The railroad company Is however Insured against thelr plrt of the damage. Tne building cost the company about s7, 800. Mr. R5geru had no lnsur- anes on his belongings which he values at about SI,5oo.
 When the alarm was sounded, hr. Rogers was on his way home In eompSny with Steamboat Kelly, who has been lodg- lng 10 the premises as a guest. As the hose cart rushed by they hurrlsdlY jolnsd the frsboys, Mr. Kelly gT bblng the rope and Mr. Rogers doing the shove act. hr. Rogers and his family have lost many val u,bis memsntoes and keepsakes, that money cannot replace and among them a silver service presented 70 them by Che sm' ployss on a division of ihs Great Northern railroad ard all of whose names are en- gravsd cn the pieces.
 Mr. Murphy moved Is wife and baby out of thelr home while the fire was rag log.
 Councilman Kelly Is the loser of a very loud and lossy silk night shirt
 Mr. Rogers thanked the fire bhgades for thelr services ane refreshed the boys ught royalty.
 The mayor and city council were manl- fest and active at the fire.

O3IIvsred Interesting Lecture TO
Big Audience at FaIstaff Hall
Last Night.

Falstaff hall was taxed TO its capacity
last evening by a large gathering. which
assembled TO hear Miss Maritcha II.
Lyons on Negro Franchise Miss Lyons
is somewhat distinguished as being the
first colored graduate OF the Providence
high school, and her lecture of last even

The speaker said: To-day, TO quote
the editor OF the Outlook, a certain class
OF Southern politicians Is stirring up Ill
will over the race problem In order to use
the South as Democratic power for po-
litical ends This Southern propaganda
merits moro serious attention than has
hitherto been given to It. The force and
fairness of open. honest discussion of
the subject OF Southern administration Of
political matters should be recognized
and utilized for the purpose of revealing
the true inwardness OF the situation.

Of equitable justice over the Justice OF

In concluding the lecture Miss Lyons
said: I'VE hold fast the doctrine OF

BOX &C.

Boston, Nov 2S.--"Jig" Stone and Billy
Melody. Charlestown boxers, met at the
Lenox \. c. last evening. this being the
third time they have battled. The decision
was draw. Melody forced the going
most OF the time. but Stone landed the
cleanest and most effective blows.
The boys fought cautiously, neither taxi
ing any chances that might bring an open
ing for a Knockout. While this detracted
from the speed Of the contest somewhat
II was fairly interesting bout. Stone $
punches were hard. hut his style OF block
ing and covering made the going look bad
for him at times. Melody whipped some
hard hooks into "Jig's" body tn way
which doubled the recipient up. Stone de-
voted all his energies to the head and
from the beginning To the end of the con-
test he waited patiently To get his right
to the Jaw, but the opportunity did not
offer.
Melody went to the mat I'm the last
round with series OF rights and lefts
to the Jaw but was soon up. BY hug
ging and stallng and running in close. he
made 1t impossible for Stone to land the
proper punch TO score a decisive win.
All through the contest Melody was hit
ting on breaks. especially in the last
round, but this was due mainly to his
condition
Inc pair started on the contest decided
ly slow. Melody used n straight left TO
the face and hooks TO the body, while
Stone was dependent on swings 10 the
head. In this way they worked through
to almost the last round. when they went
TO work with a'vengeance.
Earlier In the contest Stone blocked
many OF Meliody's leads, but neither
made any pretence of blocking I'm the
last round. After they had been mixing
IL up for while Melody went down,
but was up in a very few seconds. lie
plainly showed the results or the hammer
ing he took.
The last half Of the round was more
OF hugging match than anything else.

Former President Says He Can Never
Again Become the Nominee of His Party.

New York. Nov. 2S-Grover Cleveland
has sent the following letter 20 the editor
Of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle:
Princeton, n. j., Nov. %, 1908.
"Mr. Dear Mr.. Mckelway--I have want
ed for long time to say something which
think should be said to YOU before
others.
You can never know how grateful /
am for the manifestation of kindly feel
ing toward me on the part OF my coun-
trymen which your initiative has brought
out.
Your advocacy in The Eagle OF my
nomination for the presidency came 10
me as a great surprise aud IL has been
seconded in such manner by Democratic
sentiment that conflicting thoughts of
gratitude and duty have caused me TO
hesitate as to the time and manner of
declaration on my part concerning the
subject--if such declaration should
seem necessary and proper.
