Fire starts During Big Revival, but
People All Get Out without
Injury.

ABERDEEN. S. o., March 10-(Special
Telegram. while big revival services
were In progress in the Auditorium to-
night fire started below the platform where
about 800 of the choir and the preachers
were sitting. The place was packed with
people, fully 1900 being present When
smoke was noticed several walked out and
Rev. r. E. johnson, leader of the revival
at once began singing. The choir took up
the refrain and the ministers went among
the congregation advising them to leave
quietly. Some of the more excitable peo-
pie made their exit through the windows,
but in ten minutes the immense hall was
empty. Before the choir and evangelist
left the platform the rear was In flames.
Firemen fought the fire for an hour. I'm
ally subduing It after most Of the platform
had burned down. Through the presence
of mind of the evangelist, aided by the
work of the ministers, not a single acct
dent occurred. Before the last Of the
congregation was out the firemen were
fighting the flames. Several children be-
came separated from their parents but
were at once restored neighboring stores

also that some of the most valuable in
gradients contained in DIR. Pierce's Fa-

years ago by the Indians for similar

ARGENTINA is DISAPPOINTED
Had Hoped American Congress Would
Pass the Ship Subsidy
Bill.

BUENOS AYREs March 1o.-Estanislao
zeballos minister Of foreign affairs and
formerly minister of Argentina to the
United States, in an interview today con-
corning the failure Of the ship subsidy bill
to pass at the recent session of the United
States congress- expressed his great dis
appointment at the fate Of the bill and
the conviction that the interest OF both
countries demanded measures for the ex-
tension Of commerce.
Senior Zeballos pointed out that legisla-
ton had been enacted long ago granting
a subvention Of 100000 annually for steam
ers performing a regular service between
Argentina and the United States, and the
Argentine government, he said, was pre-
pared to make tariff concessions where
these were possible, for the purpose of
facilitating commercial intercourse. The
minister added that even as far back as
the time when he was accredited to Wash
ington he had a conference with President
Cleveland in which he made similar pro-
posals on reciprocal lines.
In proof of the advantages of the policy
he favored, Senior Zeballos quoted official
figures showing that Argentina's imports
from the United States had increased pro-
gressively from $13,OOO,OOO In, 1900 to nearly
$400O0,O00 in 1906, and its exports to the
United States from 100000 in 1900 TO over
100000 gold in 1906
Senior zeballos said he was confident that
when the trade possibilities between the
two republics were understood in the United
States the American congress would see the
desirability OF mutual commercial relations.
the balance being largely in favor of that
country. The minister thought II would
be a matter for deep regret If the splendid
effects of the memorable visit and declara-
lions of Secretary OF State Root should be
minimized by apparent indifference as to a
commercial policy which, while beneficial
to Argentina, would be doubly so to the
United States.

gradients used in these medicines, as

proprietary rights may not be infringed

importance to the general practitioner

Dangers from Grip.

An attack OF grip seldom results fatally
but 1t is the indirect couse of many deaths
II II does not result in pneumonia, which is
frequently the case, It leaves its victim
with cough which fingers on long after
every other symptoms of the disease has
vanished The system is thus left in a
weakened condition and Is susceptible to
almost every other disease, The grip can
be greatly lessened in its severity If Cham
berlains Cough Remedy is used, and any
tendency toward pneumonia Is promptly
checked. There is no medicine which has
met with greater success in the treatment
of this disease. II cures the cough and
leaves the system in a natural and healthy
condition.
