The old bell tower near Commercial
and Eleventh streets has been torn
down by workmen Many years ago
the tower was built by the energetic
citizens Of old Astoria. who enthus-
iasticaliy contributed to the support OF
their fire department. old-tImers had
always regarded the tower with tender
sentiment, and many wIstful glance
was cast In It's direction during the
past day or two as unfeeling workmen
sawed away the timbers and razed the
tower. The march OF progress de-
manded that the tower be torn down
and sentiment was cast TO the winds.
The tower was built for the big fire
bell. which Is temporarily stored awa7.
to be placed in service again at some
future date, when the city has money
enough to build a central fire house
and the necessary tower.

H. Barker. one of the school directors
stated yesterday that the repair work
now In progress at the schools might
not be completed fully by the date sci

the opening Of the schools on that

standing that more work is really
needed. Mr.. Barker is of the opinion
that two other rooms should be fin

improvement can not be made for some
time to come. on account OF the short
age OF funds.

II was persistently reported yester-
day that, at tomorrow nights meeting
OF the council, an ordinance would be
introduced to revise the retail liquor
license system now in vogue in this
city, The present ordinance provides
for an annual license of $400 for each
saloon in the city, but makes no pro-
vision as to the number of bars to
which one license shall apply Thus,
some saloons where there are more
than one bar are taxed but one license.
Saloon men whose places OF business
are provided with but one bar have,
IL is stated. protested against allowing
saloons with two bars to operate for
the same license fee and 1t is reported
that an ordinance requiring license
for every bar viii be presented tomor-
row night. Several members Of the
council were asked yesterday about the
matter, but all declined to commit
themselves. 1t was evident from their
demeanor. however, that they had con-
sidered the proposition, and 1t is be-
lleved the ordinance will be presented.

THE DEVILS NATURE,
PERSONALLY AND POWER
Discussed by Rev. DIR. j. ID. Jordan
Mt First baptist Church.


The services at the First Baptist
Church last night, conducted by the
pastor, Rev. DR.. ]. D. Jordan, were Of
a special nature and proved more than
usually interesting.
In addition the choir, consisting of
Mrs. M. E. Wilson, Miss Eleanor AL
Ian. Mr.. Walter Rogers and Mr.. C. D.
McCardle, assisted by Miss Ellen Nor
gan. Miss Agnes Kenney and Mr.. j.
B. Benton, gave a special programme
of music that was one of the most en-
joyable features of the service.
DR.. Jordan's sermon was based on
subjects suggested by three questions
that had been placed in the question
box. The first of these requested the
pastors views on the man who would
ask preacher to marry him and then
give the minister nothing for the SER
vice; the second wanted an expression
of opinion on the statement that a
certain man hated another as bad as
"the devil hates holy water" and the
third query was: lis there a personal
devil and if so what are his nature and
powers"
1t was on thoughts growing out of
the last named query that the sermon
was based. Dr. Jordan stated his be-
lief that there is a personal devil, that
his nature is that of spiritual being,
he being one of the fallen angels, and
that his power is second only to that
of God himself. Man by himself is
unable to resist the devil. he said. but
can always overcome him by invoking
the help of God. At the conclusion of
the sermon the rite of baptism was
conferred on one candidate.
