NEGRO HOSPITAL BURNED.
Loss on City Property is $3, 900,
 Covered by Insurance.


 Covered by Insurance.
 The frame building owned and used by tee city as an Emergency Hospital for negroes in the northeast part of the city on the Upper Wetumpka Road was totally destroyed by fire at an early hour yesterday morning,
 The fire department responded to a telephone alarm. but the fire had gained fine start and the building was prac- ticaliy burned to the ground by the time the firemen arrived on the scene The sky was bright with the reflection of the Ire as the Madison Avenue trucks came out of the engine houses.
 A line of hose was run to the fire and was extinguished without much difficult ty. The Five Points companies did not go to the blaze.
 The three buildings at the hospital grounds are fifty or sixty feet apart and the department did some good work in preventing the spread of the fire
 The building, destroyed contained six wards or about ten ordinary rooms. Thirty negro patients were in the build E ing when the fire broke out. All of them escaped uninjured
 No white women being confined in the hospital, the white men were removed to the building used for white female patients and the negroes were housed in the building vacated by the white men. The origin of the fire Is believed to have been sparks falling on the roof from a chimney. It Is not believed that the loss on the property will be large. The loss on the building is estimated at $2,5o0 and the furniture at about $500 which is covered by s2.200 insurance on the building and $400 on the furniture.
 The loss was reported to Mayor T. H. Carr yesterday morning and the insur- ance will be adjusted as early as possi- ble.
 Shortly after o'clock last night the department responded to a telephone alarm from the Montgomery Theatre, 21 North Perry Street. Workmen engaged in putting in an asbestos curtain in the top of the building used some lights which gave out a suspicious looking glow. Some one saw it and became alarmed. The department arrived in a hurry but there was nothing to be done.

 "The town" he continued, fur nishes a half dozen or more Memorial Day orators every recurring year. and the result Is that our neighbors are treated to good speeches. have scan- ned the newspaper columns and discovered that six Montgomeriars made Memorial Day addresses. Gen. John W. A. Sanford spoke at Enter prise, Rabbi A. !. Messing at Union Springs, Judge w H. Thomas at Pratt ville, Major W. w. Screws at Taliadega, and Hon. Thomas M. owen at Opelika. Capt.

The successful exhibit made at the
grange fair this week suggests the
thought that if a few individuals can
make such creditable exhibition
what could the towns collectively do?
Simply this, we could make one or the
largest and most creditable exhlDl-
tions of any section of equal extent
in New England. For fully 40 years
we kept up our fairs and they were
noted all over the state and even out
of the state. The great reason advo-.
Gated for the giving up of the annual
exhibitions was that the number. OF
oxen had decreased and that we had
no trotting course. Very true. but
we have almost everything else to
make a good showing and the day
could be made one of great interest
socially and be a great benefit to us IN
MANY ways. With such an ideal place
to show vegetables, fruits and house
hold articles as Memorial hall 1t is
certainly mistake not to bestir our
selves and revive the fairs
