It was the first remark ventured by Mrs Smith since entering the house and Mrs Mooney quickly silenced her.

A NARROW ESCAPE FRCM A BAD FIRE.
 The house occupied by Mrs Ella Bar rie at the Center had a narrow escape from being destroyed by fire, last week
 Friday night. Mrs Barrie's daughter, Helen, awolSe her about II o'clock say ing she smelled smoke and Mrs Barrie got up to investigate. On going down stairs she found her kitchen full of flames and smoke. Miss Helen Barrie quickly awoke the neighbors, who were on hand in a few minutes, and Mrs Marshall Beach, being informed of the fire, broughtthe telephone into good use and notified each one on the
 line of the fire, so that in very short
 time large number had gathered to assist in putting out the flames. The neighbors all worked with willing hands and soon had the fire under con- trol, but not until ali the woodwork in that side of the old fashioned chimney had been burned and both floors hay ing large holes in them. The damage to the house will be quite large, but MT Barrie's loss was confined mostly to her carpets, which of course were nearly ruined. It is thought that the fire musl have been smouldering in the woodwork about the chimney for some time, as there was no fire in the stove when Mrs Barrie and daughter retired

EAST VILLAGE AND VICINITY.

EAST VILLAGE AND VICINITY.
 The entertainment given last Fri day evening, at the church, attracted a large and appreciative audience. Seldom in either 'untry or city has Warmer-hearted and more enthusias- tic response been given to a public per formance than was here manifested. Hearty applause followed every num- Der on the program, demanding en- cores even to the second and third time. Miss Smith acquitted herself very creditably, as she always does, The young men from Yale University, though their first appearance here. in- graduated themselves in the hearts of the people. Three general regrets have been expressed on all sides: first, the program was not long enough; second, the price of admission was too small; and third, they will not come back soon enough. One thing is cer- tain, whenever they do come back the house will be filled to the utmost capacity.
 Messrs Read, Mead, Bryant and Brown, the members of the male quar- tet from Yale University, were the guests of MT and Mrs w. s. Clark, last week Friday. An interesting Endeavor meeting was conducted by Miss Wunderlich, on last Sunday evening. She will be the leader on November P. Subject: "What are you thankful for?" Psalm B.

 Mrs Mooney, prim and eager, sat on the edge of straight backed chair, wondering if it was real gold. And Polly, pretty little Polly, who was the ] cause ot their coming, forgot the dis comfort of her tight Sunday boots as she gazed about the beautiful room So this was his home! She had never read or dreamed of anything so mag niticent. She wondered-but her thoughtswere diverted by the entrance of young girl of her own age, a young girl who looked sweet and cool in a simple pique gown, who had no color about her save the blue, pink and vel low of eyes, skin and hair.
 The two girls looked at each other a moment in silence. The blue eyes noted in flash every detail of Polly's costume-the pink bows, the frills and furbelows, the belaced and beruff1ed hat. Then they rested on the lovely lovable face. She came across and held out both hands. "You are Polly,'' she said. "I thought so from James description and now am sure, I don t ask how or why you have come, but l am so glad. Harvey has told me so much about you. And want you for d friend. And this is your mother, isn't it? And this Mrs Smith, who has been so kind to Harvey?"

Philadelphia, Dec. 1S.-P. Bunau-
Varilla, minister from Panama TO the
United States, delivered an address
last night at a meeting of the Ameri-
can academy of Political and Social
Science on the Conditions under which
the New Republic was Founded. The
speech was a review of the situation
on the isthmus from the beginning of
the negotiations with Colombia for a
canal treaty to its rejection by the
Colombian congress and the secession
of Panama. He upheld the course pur-
sued by President Roosevelt, claiming
the Spooner act gave the president
authority do all he had done. He
claimed Colombias course amounted
to an attempt at blackmail. He justi-
fed the action of Panama as a revolt
against the tyranny of Bogora and de-
clared there never had been in the
history of the'world a revolution more
justified than that one. 1870
