DATE CHANGED.
Donation Day Of the Ladies' Benevo.
lent Society VIII be on Jan. 18th.

For satisfactory reasons the Ladies
Benevolent Society deem it expedient
to change their donation day frJm
May 3rd (the anniversary OF the Open
ing Of the Catherine Kennedy Ho1ne)
to January 18th.
They particularly wish to receive all
dues for the coming year
on this day rather than have them
come I'm at different times during tha
year This will greatly simplify the
work OF the treasurer as will be read
lily seen. Also the special donations
which have hitherto been sent or,
May 3rd will in future be received on
this day.
A committee OF ladies viii be pres
ent to receive the annual dues, gifts,
etc.-also visitors. and they hope 10
have a large number. They particu-
larry wish to see a goodly number Of
the ladies who have come to the city
sured they will be interested in thus
Home for aged women.
For the benefit OF the strangers IN
our midst the statement IS made that
the annual dues are only $10O and
that membership in this society does
not mean work for there is but little
of that but a support for the inmates
Of the Home. The meetings are helc
every month at the Home at which
time a large attendance is desired.
but regular attendance on the part Of
the large membership is not obliga-
tory.
This work is much more important
than many seem to think, and a visit
there on our donation day will COLI
vince the most skeptical. 1t will be q
pleasure to the management to give
on all points
of any kind concerning the work may
be asked, and the whole building can
be inspected They earnestly hope
this day will be borne in mind and OBJ
served by a large proportion Of our
citizens. 9th ladies and gentlemen.

3OO.OOO--Baby Cremated.
Tampa, ,Fla.,, April 5.-As near as
can be ascertained the firewhich swept
West Tampa caused loss which will
exceed 100000. The only death loss
so far as known, is that of one Gu

the cigar factories. The factories Of
Santa Ella & Co., Sam Caro- & Co.,

lest losers.
The Santa Ella company lost $685.
600 worth of tobacco. besides q large
number of fine cigars. Fifteen blocks
of business houses and nearly 200
tenements were destroyed. West Tam
pa has only small water plant, and
as a consequence the water supply
gave out. The Tampa FIRE department

dered all possible assistance. Hundreds

SUPPOSED PLOT OF CHINESE
Attempt to Blow Up Steamer Belong.n :
to a Company That Will Not En-

Portland. Ore. April 6. = A bomb
containing two pounds of powder,
heavily charged with nitro-glycerine
and containing box of 100 detonating
caps, was found on the guard rail of
the steamer Albany, of the Western
Transportation company's line. The
fuse mad burned almost 70 the caps.
but had gone out Had the bomb ex-
ploded the Albany would doubtless
have been completed wrecked.
From the fact that a quantity OF
Chinese tissue paper and white sock
such as is worn by Chinese was
wrapped round the Internal machine
it is thought that plot TO destroy
the steamer was evolved by Chinese.
The transportation company has per-
sistently refused to employ Chinese.
