FIERCE FIRE IN BOSTON
Studio Building Quilted. and orpheun
Theater Badly Damaged.

Boston, Dec. 19.-Fire today caused
heavy damage in the block bounded by
fremont, Bromfeld, Washington and
Winter streets and altho the flames
were confined practically to one struc-
ture, the Studio building, for a time
much greater destruction was threat
ened. The fire broke out on the lower
floor Of the Eldredge, & Peabody fur
niture establishment and swept up thru
six floors of the firms section of the
Studio building. The roof fell and
the fire jumped across a. narrow alley
to the roof of the Orpheum theater,
formerly Boston s famous music hall,
and to the top Of the building occu-
pied by the Talbot clothiers in Wash.
ington street. The flames did little
damage to either structure, but the
Talbot building was flooded by burst
ing hose. A rough estimate Of the prop
erty loss places the total at about
$150,000.

Deal with Men as Men.

-sss : ,---
So much for the military side Of the
case. But 1 wish to say something adj
ditional, from the standpoint of the
race question. II. @-.
1t is of the utmost importance to all
our people that we shall deal with each
man on his merits as man; and not
deal with him merely as member of a
given race; that we shall Judge each
man by his conduct and not his color.
This is important for the white man
and it is far more important for the
colored man. More evil and sinister
counsel never was given, to any people
than that given to colored men by those
advisers, whether black or white,~who
by apology and conformation, encourage
conduct such as that of the three COM
panies in question. IF the eolered men
elect to stand by criminals of their
own race because they are of their own
race, they assuredly Law up for them
selves the most dreadful day Of reckon
ing.
Thruout my term Of service in the
presidency have acted on the principle
south I have appointed colored men Of
high character to office, utterly disre-
garding the protests Of those who would
have kept them out Of office because
they were colored men. So far as was
in my power, I have sought to secure
for the colored people all their rights
under the law. In one policy, as in the
other, I do not claim as favor, but I
challenge as a right. the support of
every citizen Of this country, whatever
his color, provided only he has in him
the spirit Of genuine and far-sighted
patriotism

The effect of a so-called State
Board of Equalization is to GEN.
tralize the taxing power in such
board, since the taxing power can
be welded by raising or lowering
the assessment as efficaciously as
by raising or lowering the tax
rates. The creation of such a
board will remove still farther
from the people the facility to ap-
peal from the assessment made by
the assessor. and the revisory
powers of the police juries will be
but nominal since their work will
be alterable by this so-called Stats
Board OF Equalization. The un-
der1 hug idea in the creation of
such board is that the people
cannot be trusted to elect Police
Juries that will do their duties in
diligently and justly toward tn q
State. Yet, the same people are
thought good enough to elect the
high officers Of the State, the judi
ciary aud the legislature. The
question at issue is Democracy
versus Capitalization and the le-
gislature will have it put to them
to vote for one or the other system.

Death of Edw. F. VOORHEES,.

Edward F. VOORHEES,, aged %
years, 9 months and 8 days. died
at the home of his father Edw. G..
VOORHEES, yesterday evening Friday
May Is, 1906 at half past four
O'Clock. Stricken with fatal ma
lady a short time since at st. STAN
islaus College. Macon, Ga, the
young man longed for friends and
family and 30 Mr.. VOORHEES, has
tened to his bedside and last Tues
day evening brought bis son home
again. Despite all medical skill
aud all loving care and affection
ate attention, his strength gradual
ly failed and yesterday evening
his spirit took lis flight to another
and better world
The deceased was young man
of most admirable and exemplary
character, and of profoundly reli-
gious nature. Three years ago he
entered the Benedictine college at
Covington to study for the priest
hood, from thence went to Spring
bill college and finally entered st.
Stanislaus college at Macon. Not
long since he had taken the last
vows of his order, that of the So
ciety of Jesus, before Father Mat
tern of Grand Coteau. His death
will prove not only sad blow to
his family and friends but to
many who had hoped him a long
and useful career in the service of
the Blessed Master. The Gazette
tenders its sincerest sympathy to
the bereaved family and prays
Gods grace may sustain them in
this hour of deep affection.
The funeral will take place to-
day at eleven o'clock at St. Johns
Catholic Church aud the inter-
ment in the Jesuit cemetery at
Grand Coteau this evening.

Forth Worth No Denver Cit,
Ry. Co.

The Fort Worth & Denver City
Railway Company, popularity
known as "The Denver Road" !,
announces that, effective June first
il will establish a new through
sleeping car line between Lafay-
cite. La, and Denver Colorado,
the routing of same to be via the
lines of the Southern Pacific Com.
pany between Lafayette and Hous
ton, the H. & 4. G. Road between
Houston and Forth Worth, and
THE DENVER ROAD between
Fort Worth and Denver. This is
a new feature in favor of the salts
factory accommodation of a con-
stantly increasing tourist business
to Colorado, and will undoubtedly
serve with favor and tend to in
crease such tourist business from
Louisiana and Southern Texas
points; also from points in Central
Texas along the line of the III. &
7. G. Road.
In addition to the foregoing, an-
is that the double
daily through train service will be
again established via the F. w. &
d. G. BY through to Denver about
June Let, and that in all likelihood
a third train will be placed in ser
vice for the accommodation of To- !
cal business between Forth Worth |
and Quanah, Texas.
With the Inauguration of this
third train it is understood the
of the through Colora-
DO trains will be materially quick
ened or shortened, since the local
rain referred to will make it pos
'ible to cut out number of stops
which have been necessa-
y to the through trains. during
'ormer seasons.
