 University Threatened.

Boulder, Colo, Dec. 24.-Prairie fires are burning in several places in the outskirts of this city and the surround ing country and are spreading rapid ly before high wind. Already twelve buildings in Boulder have been burned.

Many volunteers are fighting the flames but are hampered in their efforts by lack of water.

STRING BEADS PROPERLY.

Many Valuable beads are lost simply because they have been strung on silk or waxed linen threads. If you wish to have them properly strung. then get one of the thinnest catgut guita strings and fasten them on it. They are safe indeed if the ends are se- curely fastened with the necessary gold clasps. This is the way jewell CTS string their valuable beads.

DETECTIVES TO WATCH FORT.
To Keep Spies Out Fort Monroe Dur
ing Exposition.

NEW YORK April 16.-The War De-
partment, following out recommendation
of Gen. Frederick D. Grant, commanding
the division of the Atlantic, has authorized
Col. George F. Harrison of the Artillery
Corps, the commanding officer of Fort Mon
roe, Va, to employ, during the existence of
the jamestown exposition, ten private de-
tectives, whose duties it shall be to see that
no unauthorized persons get within the new
fortifcations guarding the entrance to
Hampton roads. Fort Monroe is not far
from jamestown and the site of the EXPOSE
ton.
These detectives, who will be supplied by
an agency whose name is withheld will be
put on guard because of the great number
of foreigners who will visit Norfolk and
vicinity in the six months the exposition
will be open. AS, perhaps, a large number
of these visitors will be military men, who
would, naturally. have some curiosity to
know the strength of the Notifications
guarding Hampton roads, which is one of
the four most important coast artillery
posts In the country, Gen. Grant regarded
it as n wise precaution to guard against
any of our military secrets becoming known
to any of the visitors. His recommended
ton that the detectives be employed was
at once acted on favorably by the War De-
paTtment.
Gen. Grant was much surprised when he
learned that the intention of the govern
ment to employ private detectives for the
purpose stated had become public He ad-
mitted the truth of the report, however
and said the recommendation had gone
through his office the commanding gen.
eral of the department.
Commanding officers of posts at which are
located Lake or coast defenses are charged
with the responsibility Of preventing. as

What Are Volcanoes Doinep

No word has come from the districts in
which the volcanoes of Colima and Jorullo
rear themselves, and great apprehension is
felt that the volcanoes have burst into
eruption and are adding to the destruction
Many miners and prospectors from the
United States are in Nichoacan state, where
Jorullo stands.
In this city the shock occurred at IL 40
O'Clock Sunday night and, remarkable to saw
III view of its long endurance no one was
seriously hurt. Beyond cracked walls and
asphalt pavements and broken plaster the
property loss is slight This is accounted
for only by the peculiar motion of the
earth. 1t moved as does an ocean swell
regularly from east 10 west. The meteor
illogical observer declared almost imme-
diately that the center of the disturbance
was TO the south.
Many persons who were abroad were
thrown from their feet and more or less
bruised but if hundreds had been killed the
general fear could scarcely have been
greater Suddenly awakened, every one
first thought of the recent calamitous earth
quake on this continent. Thousands in
their nightclothes rushed from their homes,
the women fell on their knees and prayed,
or holding up their children, implored the
saints to protect them. No one in the city
slept afterward, and last night the city was
in semi-panic lest the shock be repeated.
The asphalt pavement on Cinco de Mayoo,
a large business thoroughfare, was cracked
open for thirty feet.
Not a station of the fire department re-
ceived a call.
