 OLD ORCHARD SWEPT BY FIRE Summer Hotel Section
 in Ruins. FIFTY ACRES IN BLAZE Flames Originate in Annex of
 Hstel Olympia. UPsetting of Lamp Causes ConAagra- tion that Results in Great Loss
 to the Popular
FTY ACRES IN BLAZE

Old Orchard, Me. Aug. 15.-Nearly one-half of Old Orchards summer ho- tel section along the shore front was swept by fire tonight, the loss prob ably amounting to fully half a million dollars. So far as known, no lives were lost.
 The Hotel Fiske. one of the finest no the beach. valued at s50,oO0; the Hotel Emerson, valued at S76.000, with It's furnishings; the Hotel Alberta. the AL dine. the Lawrence House. and a half dozen similar hotels, together with about fifty cottages, were destroyed within two hours.
 The Old Orchard fire department was unable to handle the blaze and the hremen from Portland, Biddeford and Saco, who responded to calls for as- sistance, were hampered for some time after their arrival by difficulty with the hose couplings.
 At 10:S0 o'clock the fire was still spreading to the eastward. and seem- ed likely to be stopped only when 1t had exhausted the material on which 1t could feed in that direction.
 The fire was discovered about 8 o'clock in the upper part of the Olym- pia Hotel annex. which was occupied mainly by servants employed in the Hotel Emerson. It is supposed the upsetting of a lamp was the cause of the blaze.
 Adjoining buildings soon caught fire and from these the flames jumped the large tracks and communicated with the Alberta Hotel and several other large buildings near the shore.
 An area of about fifty acres along the beach was soon blazing. In this area were located some of the most popular of the hotels, all filled with
  mer cottages were in this district. and these, too, were swept by fire. Most of the guests managed to save a con- siderable quantity of their personal effects.

VENEZUELA.
Beauty of the Country and the In-
 Pression It Leaves.

Beauty of the Country and the In-
 Pression It Leaves.
 The beauty of the country is the first and the most lasting impression. To catch glimpses at every turn in the valleys of cloudy peaks, or when on the mountain side to see through the limpid air valley after valley between pure air, to know that summer is all most perpetual-he Is only half a man who does not for moment forget the needs of civilization in the intoxIcation of primitive nature. The loveliness of Venezuela is something different from and south. It is more tropical, and the mountains do not rise to the height in which the senses are stilled by gran deur, nor is there found so near the equator that ruggedness or gloom of solemnity which is one feature of the type. which can be enjoyed most when we know that man has his abode there The Andes. the Alps or the Rockies are bold and austere. They need no life. Life is not meant for them. But such contrasts and changes as are con softened landscapes are more exquisite when man Is pottering about on tine surface trying to imagine that he is of some real importance on the earth Reader Magazine.

PRESBYTER|ANS HAVE WARM
 DEBATE
Proposed Change in Form of Government Arouses 0ppo- Sition From Several Leading DivineS.

COLUMBUS, O., May 2O.-After 2 spirited discussion, during which il was charged that an attempt was be ing made to build up a Catholic hier archy, the Presbyterian general as sembly today adopted the report oi the special committee on administra tive agencies, referring to Presbyter les four overtures relating to a change 1 in the form of government of the church, which provide for the estab Hshment of executive commissions by Presbyteries, synods and genera as sembles, of which the moderator oi the respective organizations shall be the head.
 | If majority os the Presbyteries ap prove these overtures, the committee will report to the next genera! assem. bly a plan for the executive cOmmis. sion of the general assembly. The report of the committee was present ed at the morning session. but action was not taken until the closing hours.
 The recommendation for the estab- Hshment Of executive commissions met with vigorous opposition. Rev. Dr. Doremus, of Michigan, declared it was an attempt to set up Catholic ANh- bl- AES1CuuCI Kerr, of Pennsylvania, denounced it as born of a spirit of oligarchy and a blow at tbe basic principles of the church. Rev. Dr. James D. Moffatt president of Washington and Jeffer. son University, declared the proposed change in the form of government in perfect harmony with the principles of the church; that it did not mean concentration of power, but rather an execution of power.
 The committee on reports suggest ed that the general assembly's exec utive committee should consist of if teen members, of which the modera- tor was to be the head, being elected to serve for the entire year, instead of during the session of the general assembly. as at present Under this plan any question except of a judi ciai nature may be referred to the commission for adjustment during the interim between the sessions of the assembly. The assembly made the vote of the committee on temperance a special order for Wednesday, at which time the controversy between the Inter-Church Temperance Fedora tion and Anti-Saloon League will be threshed out on the floor of the as sembly.

MARvELS OF WORKMANSHIP.
The vioIins That Were Made by the
 Famous Old Masters.

The vioIins That Were Made by the Famous Old Masters.
 The old masters used such care in the selection of the woods for their instruments that having found piece of wood of proper fiber and vibrational powers, they treasured every fragment, no matter how small, and rather than waste even a particle of such a strip they frequently constructed the backs and bellies of patches so delicately put together that ''the seams are only dis coverable by microscope, 50 perfect is the cabinetwork." It was ever the aim of the old masters to marry" the back of hard sycamore. which produces the quick vibrations, and the belly of soft wood, producing the slower sound waves, In such manner as to give the mellow but reedy timbre of the perfect instrument Anatomically a violin made by an old master is a miracle of construction. It can be talk en to pieces. patched, put together, re- paired indefinitely and is almost inde- structible. Repairing has been the means of exposing many clever forger- ies. The inside of a violin made by Stradiyari. Guarnerius or other old masters is as perfectly finished inside as outside, and the clumsy interior work Of forgery betrays an imita- ton at once.-Circle Magazine

The Quality That Appears to Be Lack.
 ing In All Systems.

-fsS &eehy thdt appears 70 6e h4<&s ing In All systems
 The fatality of all systems of short hand Is that what seems easy to the eye of filial piety may be terribly diffi- cult to the cold gaze of a stranger. Of the fnnumerable systems of short hand that were the vogue a century ago how many survive today? asks a London writer. Fame and fortune still await the man or woman who can in vent system that will appeal to the reader as effectively as to the original writer. Perhaps if we were to redis- cover the lost shorthand writing of the ancient Romans we might find our selves on the road toward a solution of the problem.
 For the Romans were on affectionate terms with shorthand. Did not Sue tonius, speaking of Caligula, express surprise that an emperor of so many promising parts should nevertheless be an ignoramus in shorthand. and did not Titus yespasianus pride himself on his facility in the use of stenograpby both for business and amusement? So fond was he of the sport that he de. lighted to gather his amanuenses around him in order that they should tilt against each other in the steno graphic field. It may be that but for the rediscovery of the art in England toward the end of the sixteenth cen tury the curious Pepys would not have been moved to write his diary.

To- day. however, public surprise reached the point of sheer amazement. owing to facts brought out in an inquiry. at the instance of tfe Rate Payers As sociation, into the case of the new Workhouse and Infirmary in the Lon don borough of Hammersmith. It de- veloped that this workhouse in many details is equal, if not supeTssr. to any nobleman's mansion, and that it could vie with the most expensive hp- tel
 The entrance to the building is be- tween handsome screens fitted with pitch pine and plate glass.

KID SOLOMON IS MATCHED WITH
 AbE ATTEL
Is to Have His Long Looked for Chance at the Championship of the World in the Feather weight Division.

LOS ANGELES, May 20.-So Kid Solomons is to have his long-looked for chance at the championship of the world in the feather weight division. He is matched to box Abe Attell, the recognized champion and holder of the McCarey Belt, May 24th.
 Everybody knows Attell's record how he has not only defeated every body in his class, but has battied with men of much greater weight, such as Battling Nelson, Kid Herman and Aurelio Herrera.
 He won the feather weight title de- cisiveiy by defeating Frankie Neill in Los Angeles last year and he has sue cessfully defended the belt ever since.
 There are many local fans who think that Kid Solomon has fair chance to prove the victor in this fight He has a tremendous wallop in his left hand and it has always been goodnight" for any man it landed on. At present he is training vigorously out at Cahuenga Pass at Heidelberg Inn. These are ideal training quarters and the Kid has the advantage of pure mountain air and the comparative solitude that is so ensential for fighter if he is at all nervous in his disposition.
 Abe Attell is a Arcadia the Mascot training place of Southern California. He keeps in fairly good condition all the time and has little to worry about except the weight, 122 pounds half an hour before entering the ring. There is no doubt, however that both men will make this easily and be strong. AtteIl ;s eossihiy too clever for the Kid. hut he admits himself that he will have a mighty hard time proving it.

DECISION WORRIES
 WAR DEPARTMENT
Supreme Court InvaIidates Work of Court MartiaIs in
 Many Cases.

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-There is grave apprehension at the war de- pertinent that the Supreme Court of the United States has invalidated the sstatus of every regular army officer who held at the same time a volun- teer commission, and has also inyali- dated the legality of the proceedings of every court martial of volunteer officer or enlisted men on which sat an officer holding both regular and volunteer commissions The court last Monday handed down an opinion declaring invalid the courtmartial of Lieutenant Lewis Bryan, negro vol. unteer army officer, who was tried and dismissed from the service in Cuba. The courtmartial is invalid because an officer of the regular army who was also volunteer officer, sat under the court. Under the decis- ion Brown is entitled to pay until tho date of mastering out of his regiment and expiration of his commission.
