DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
Livery Barn And Boarding House
Destroyed BY Fire Last
Night.

For tile third time wishiH week
the fire alarm was sounded last
wight
A cabnan passing the Star Liv-
cry Barn on Second street between
chickasha and Kansas avenues, no
ticed flames at the southeast corner
Of the buildings. He Immediately
gave She alarm. This was about
ten O'Clock. Mr. Holmes, the pro-
prietor Of the business, was AZ home
and his manager had gone up town
leaving the I5-year-old son Of MI.
Holmes alone at the barn.
When first discovered the flames
were at work at the upper part Of
the barn and making rapid head
way. In few minutes the whole
building was ablaze. There was
hardly time to rescue the N horses
that were il the barn One Of the
horses which was in the stall where
the fire started was badly burned.
II was 4 fine animal and the best
single driver in the barn. All Of
the other contents Of the barn were
a total loss.
It was impossible TO check the
flames upon the barn and when the
ere department arrived its energies
were directed upon the adjoining
boarding house, The chickesha
House. This house was operated
BY Mrs. Bigham. A hard fight was
made to save it, but it was impossi-
ble. There was time, however to
remove practically, all Of the con-
tents.
About forty feet south Of the
Chickasha House was the black
smith shop Of Branson and Litten-
The flames from the burning house
reached almost to this building buf
the good work Of .Arfre boys Will
the chsHiical engine saved it The
light frame building made very
hot fire and the wind blowing from
the north carried the flames straight
to the adjoining buildings on ths
south. Had it not been for ths
work Of the fire department il j:
probable that the fire would have
been mMch more disastrous.
The Star Barn building wa.
owned by Kitty Mcintyre. Wc

was any insurance OH Vt. MI
Holmes loss amounted to 81, 600.
He had allowed his insurance poll
cies to expire few weeks ago. In
the barn were three sumeys, four

buggies, besides harness, saddles,
etc.

Port Arthur Ssslsgs

Paris, Feb. Io.-An eminent
authority connected with one Of
the embassies said today that Port
Arthur was practically besieged
and it was a serious question
whether this wonld not compel
either the bombardment or the
surrender cf the fortress, with its
men and material. The grounds
for this belief were stated 10 Be as
follows:
Admiral Togo's ships, on watch
at the entrance Of the port, prevent
ingress or egress, thus establishing
virtual blockade and cutting of
the chances Of relief from seaward,
TIE japanese troops near Newch-
wang and other points ousthe Lao
Tung peninsula are able to inter
rupt the line Of Communication and
supplies between Port Arthur and
Harbin. The result is the gradual
investiture Of Port Arthur within
ths Japanese naval and military
lines. It will require a bold action
ON the part Of the Russian forces 70
prevent the final accomplishment
Of the investiture and slow reduc-
ton Of Port Arthur"

to Genua. 1t remained at the ST. Lorenzo
cathedral until 1906, when 1t was taken,
by the French to Paris. During the
transport the vessel was accidentally
broken, when it was found that instead
of an emerald vessel, it was only a
glass of dark green color. The br6k-
en- pieces were put together, held by a
bronze band. Recently the grail was
sent back to Genua.
The vessel cannot at all be consid-
cred a drinking cup Gas it is represented
by Wagner). 1t has rather the form of a
fruit dish of IS centimeters diameter and
is ten centimeters in height. The sides
are cut and thick glass handles serve to-
lift the vessel from the glass ring
whereupon the vessel is resting. The
interior shows two circles engraved,
filled with little rings and a star with
eight points.
/ The Genua holy grail is being we'll
guarded. The doors of the treasury
have three locks, the keys of which are
in the possession of the pastor of the
church, the cardinal of Gcuua and the
librarian, so that If anyone wants pri-
vately to look at the treasured vessel
the three persons named before have to
opan the doors. For public inspection
the treasury is opened once q week.
When Empress Frederick, on her way
to San Reno a few years ago, passing
through Genua, expressed the wish to
see the "santo cantino" at the station,
the vessel, in solemn procession, escort
I'd by the cardinal, librarian, pastor and
Genuese noblemen, and guarded by a
battalion of carabinieri. was carried to

fashioned into hundreds of designs.
For instance, some of the houses are
surrounded by fences made entirely of
the horns, woven together to form sort
of abattis. with the prongs upward,
forming the best kind of safeguard
against intruders, for it is impossible to
climb over the sharp points. Lawn and
porch chairs made entirely of horn are
common, and many of them have
been constructed in very fanciful
designs. Inside the houses one can
see the horn articles ranging all
the way from tiny irkstand tc
table legs. Their peculiar shape es-
pecially adapts them for the latter pur-
pose as we'll as for chair frames. One Of
the most attractive pieces of furniture.
however, if 1t can be called such, is a hat
rack. The accompanying photograph
shows such rack standing in a hallway
Of Livingston home. The upper prongs
are used TO hold the hats and coats. while
the lower part is utilized for canes and
umbrellas. incidentally. it may be
stated that the cane resting against the
rack was also cut out of an unusually
large antler. The surface is very ar
tistically carved in a number Of designs
by the workmen.

toward any star. tits necessary to place
the instrument upon some soft founda-
ton like sofa pillow, and cover it with
dark cloth SO as to exclude all other
kinds Of light except that from the star.
Only the tube and earpiece remain ex-
posed"
When the instrument is played upon
by the sun, the sounds are overpower-
ing. says the inventor. "a million weird
and inexplicable noises, due to reflected
light from the earth and other planets,
spoil the music entirely" he declares.
The different sounds that emanate
from the various stars form the very
basis of the professors great theory of
inter-stellar communication.
These sounds reflect, he believes, DIFF
ferent conditions. and are keynotes to
the state of affairs on the stars from
which the sound comes. In a talk with
q Cincinnati Enquirer correspondent he
said:
'It is when the instrument is directed
toward Sirius or the planets revolving
about the star that the weirdest effects
are obtained. If the sounds speak true,
despair must be the keynote Of that re-
gion. Hideous noises, frightful beyond
description, pour forth. Nothing earth
ly can be compared to these fearful
sounds. They remind one Of spirits in
agony. shrieking over the loss of eter-
nal happiness. The hideous, nerve
racking sounds can only be compared to
the rawlings of the widest inmates of
madhouse.
Beautiful Arcturus gives forth the
most confusing noises. When the in
strument is directed toward this mag
nificent star of the first magnitude
sounds of startling contrast are audible.
Now it reminds one of an ear-deafen-
ing hurricane, then the roars of thou
sand Niagaras beat upon the ear
drums. After this tumult. absolute still
ness will prevail for few seconds,
then something like melodious, yet
soft, and low whispering will play upon
the instrument This star is in direct
opposition to Sirius, and might be the
home of perfect love and contentment.
The melodies which pour forth frcx
this star remind one of the gentle whis-
perings of thousands of pairs of lovers
on the shores of moonlit sea. Then,
cheerful and gentle laughter, exquisite
and soft singing burst forth, and
lingering sounds resembling the sub
duod snacka of feryent kisses relieve
the whispering"

obstacles to lettering the general con-
ditions of the country. It was becom-
ing more and more manifest that cap
ital and labor were interdependent on
each other, he declared.
Asked If he did not believe condi-
tons were improving Bishop Spalding
said that 1t did not seem so to any ex-
tent. He said the riotous conditions
during the anthracite strike were not
as bad as the newspapers had made
them. although there was picketing
and always would be violence in
strikes.
II don't believe there is in America
any class of employers who deliberate
ly do their men wrong" declared Bish-
op Spalding.
The bishop said he believed the
American people to be people Of good
will toward labor and the distressed.
He considered them free from anarchis-
tic ideas. and said the tendency to So
cialism was only in minor way. He
regarded a permanent tribunal Of
greater value than one created for each
case Of dispute. He did not believe.
he said, in sympathetic strikes.
The strike, he replied, when asked
IL he would deny labor organizations
the right to strike, was the one weapon
of labor organizations, and to deny
that right would be to deny the right
to organize, but the great object
sought, he added, is to bring about
peaceful settlements without strikes
Labor organizations, he said, had &C.
complished much good. He had asked
Mr.. Mitchell if labor organizations
would thrive If they lost the approval
of public opinion and Mr.. Mitchell re-
piled that they would not, but would
disintegrate.
Mr.. Gompers reviewed the efforts in
congress for the enactment of an eight
hour law and censured the arguments
by opponents of the bill before con-
gress He resented the insinuation that
lawlessness is part of the purpose of
organized labor. He said that Samuel
Parks had been held up by opponents
of the bill as an example of the labor
leaders advocating the adoption Of the
eight-hour bill or looking after the in
terests of unions. Mr.. Gompers said
there are as many honest and trust
worthy men among labor leaders as in
any other occupation.
