A FARM RESIDENCE
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Property of Henry Luring But
Occupied by Grover Nor
gan and Family.
ORIGIN is NOT KNOWN.
AND THE BLAZE WAS DISCOv-
Erred BY A MAID IN THE NOR
GAN HOUSE.

The handsome residence, on the
farm owned by Henry Luring of this
city, four and one-half miles south
of Richmond on the old South road
was completely destroyed by fire
Tuesday afternoon about three
o'clock. The house was occupied by
Mr. and Mrs. Grover Morgan. The
loss is estimated at $4,000. 1t was
partially insured.
Mr. and Mrs. Morgan were in Rich
mond Tuesday afternoon and knew
nothing of the fire until they had re-
turned home ia the evening.
The fire originated in the wood
house, Immediately adjoining the rear
of the house. The origin is unknown.
This building was burning briskly
when Rebecca Cook, a maid at the
home, went to the kitchen and dis
covered the leaping flames. She i'm
ran to the telephone and
notified the nearest neighbors who
came running in response to the call.
Practically all of the household eff
fects were saved from the burning
residence although much of the cloth
ing belonging to the Morgan family
was lost. An endeavor was made to
check the progress of the flames but
this was unavailing. After the flames
gained big Roadway it was only the
course of a few moments till the en-
tire residence and a number of close
y adjoining outbuildings were in ruins

PRIMA DONA DENIES
WILL LOSE HER VOICE
Bessie Abbott Affected by
Twins Marriage.
CASE Is VERY UNUSUAL.

New York, July 31.-Bessie Abbott,
the youngest prima donna, denied to-
day that the marriage of her twin
sister, Tessie, would have disastrous
effect on her voice. Miss Abbott is
always influenced by her sister when
she sings but says her presence is
not absolutely necessary, but Tessie
must have her mind on the music.
She tried to break the engagement
for fear of failure of psychic support
but found the influence works at a
distance.

THE DOCTOR AWAY FROM HOME
WHEN MOST NEEDED.

People are often very much disap-
pointed to find that their family physi-
clan is away from home when they
most need his services. Diseases like
cramp collie and cholera morbus re-
quire prompt treatment. and have in
many instances proven fatal before
medicine could be procured or physi-
clan summoned. The right way is to
keep at hand a bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. No physician can prescribe
better medicine for these diseases
BY having it in the house you escape
much pain and suffering and all risk.

ANNEXATION OF CONGO.
SENATOR'S EXPECT 1T.
BelieUe adoption of Lodge Resolas-
ton JViU Precipitate Action
TFrom The TribIne Bursau !

washington, JAN 30--Many Senators beIisve
that the adoption by the Senate of Mr.. Lodges
congo resolution Will precipitate the annexation
OF the Congo Free State By Belgium A major
ity Of the members of the Committee on Foreign
Relations expect this. The preliminary steps to
such annexation have already been taken by the
Belgium Parliament. which has authorized an
inquiry, with a view to determining the advisa-
bility Of the step. Information recently received
through diplomatic channels, presumably from
the British Foreign Office. further tends 10 con-
firm the belief that Belgium will soon determine
TO annex the Congo.
Such a result would be most welcome TO the
United States and II is declared to most Of the
powers signatory to the treaty of Berlin. Such
annexation would not only obviate the necessity
OF any investigation of alleged abuses. but
would terminate the autocracy Of the King of
Belgium and would confer on the Congo the
benefits Of the Belgian constitution in far
they can be conferred on a colony composed OF
semi-civilized Negroes. Incidentally. such an
nexation would also terminate the rubber
nopoly which is now maintained under the direc-
tion OF King Leopold.
The Congo Free State. It will be remembered,
is under the absolute dominion of King Leopold.
not as the ruler Of Belgium, but as the absolute
sovereign OF the Congo. chosen as such pur-
suant to the Treaty of Berlin. AS such SOW
ton OF the rubber monopoly, whereby the ma
tives are compelled 20 pay into the Congo treas
ury an amount of rubber equivalent to forty
hours labor a week. or 260 eight-hour days n
year, while the increasing inaccessibility Of the
rubber trees is in many instances augmenting
the amount of labor necessary 20 acquire the
rubber demanded as tax.
That the United States should be in any man
ner accessory to the perpetuation of such an
autocracy or OF such a seemingly exorbitant and
inequitable system Of taxation, independently OF
alleged atrocities. is repellant to most Ameri-
cans. and the speedy adoption OF the Lodge
resolution seems. therefore, assured.
Before adopting the resolution, however the
senate VIII Insist upon such change in the pre-
amble as viii obViate any appearance OF the
Senates asserting that the alleged cruelties
exist, and reference 10 the widely circulated
charges of abuses will merely erm them allie
cations These changes in the language will be
insisted upon by Senators Spooner and Aldrich
as essential TO the justice of the proposed dec
laTation by the Senate.
1t is noteworthy that the resolution itself does
not provide for any Immediate investigation,
leaving that to the discretion OF the President
although II does enunciate the conviction OF the
Senate that an inquiry should be held. 1t fur
ther assures the President that in any steps he
may deem ii wise TO take with view 20 bring
ing about an international inquiry he will re-
ceive The cordial support OF the Senate.
