THE GREATEST TROUBLE about the
prevention of the carrying Of con-
eealed weapons is the fact that the
tough ard .rovdy can't be reached.
The fact that discovery will b e
visited with punishment h II no
terrors for them, for the same thing
would result whether the penalty
was fine or Imprisonment. Very
few people would even own a pistol
rot TO speak of Juggling one around,
if they could be kept out of the

POST FLEET FESTIVAL
American Representative Thanks Pe- ruVans for Courteous Reception of Battleships-Pardo Con-
 graduates Americans.

Lima March 16-The American lega- tion was brilliantly illuminated last night and the gardens never presented a more charming picture, the occasion being a banquet which the American minister, Leslie Combs, gave to President Pardo and other prominent citizens of Peru in return for the many kindnesses extend cd to the American fleet during it's visit here. The American and Peruvian colors intertwined were conspicuous in the drawing room decorations and about the banquet hall. A military band played patriotic airs and the scene outside the legation was enlivened by great crowds massed in the neighboring streets. spe- cial police force kept the way clear. Min ister Combs in toasting the President, said:
 ',rhe American fleet has come and gone but it's visit here has demonstrated the secure foundation upon which rests the good feeling and friendship of the two countries. Fifteen thousand Americans on board the warships from every state will go home and say that the Peruvian people are our friends. Such occasions draw us nearer to the ideals of mutual helpfulness and sympathy and for the realization of those ideals each country must develop order, liberty, just courts, pure administration and good laws. Both governments are fighting a successful bat tie of progress along these lines. I give a toast to the health and happiness and long life of the President of Peru and Mrs. Pardo. May his eXcellency serve his country for many years and in many ways"
 In reply President Pardo said:
 Tn the name of myself and my wife, I return thanks for the kind toast. This splendid festival brilliantly closes a pe- riod of public rejoicing during the stay of the American fleet in the waters of Callao As the worthy representative of the United States declares the sentiments inspired by the reception has been duly appreciated. not only the friendship and deference of the Peruvian government towards the American government, but the cordial sympathy of the entire na- tion towards the citizens of the great re- public.
 Peru rejolces at the opportunity for such a number of Americans to know our country and to transmit to their homes the assurances that Peru and their country are friends and that freedom and justice are the ideals of our institutions. Personally, l shall always consider one of the happlest moments of my admin istration the visit of the American squa- dron with it's influence in tightening the bonds of friendship.

PRATTVILLE HAS
 DISASTROUS FIRE
LOSS REACHES ABOUT $1ooo0, WHICH IS ONLY PARTLY COV- FRED BY INSURANcE-FlRE DIS COVERED AT 3 O'CLOCK.

Prattville, March 15.-(Special )-One of the most destructive fires in the history of this town started at 3:30 this morning in the Thornhill Hard ware companys store Night Marshal James Ross discovered the clouds of smoke emitted from this building and the Parlor market owned by Ray X Conner. The alarm was given by human voice, the only means of alarm when there is no steam mp in the large plants located in this section of the town. Something like 800 citizens and the volunteer fire companies work ed to stop the fire from spreading to the ad- joining buildings.
 Two buildings are in ashes with their contents, and damage to a third amounting to something like $500. The frame building destroyed belonged to M. A. Graham and the brick stores were owned by c. E. Thomas and J. B. Bell. s. R. Hunts building, occu- pied as a general store, was damaged.
 The losses are estimated as follows: Thomas & Bell brick stores, s4000; M. A. Graham, $500; Thornhill Hardware company stock of hardware valued at about $500: Ray & Conner, about $75C; Willie Stewart. pool room, about Sl50; S. R. Hunt. damage from water and smoke, about $500. A negro restau- rant keeper suffered a small loss. Losses only partially covered by in- surance.
 The dry goods and notions store of J. c. Duncan was in danger but suf- fered no loss. A general confiagration was prevented by heroic work of the volunteer firemen and those citizens who aided them The credit of con- fining the fire to the buildings de- stroyed is largely due to the assist ence rendered by the Prattville cotton mills and the Continental Gin company in permitting the use of tn cir water supply. which gave ample pressure to fight the fire The fire was under con trOl at o'clock.
