comes from God and must be used to
make the young life a unit for good
in the world and the church. Pur-
pose should be for the study of ser
vice to the kingdom of Christ and
prospect was before all young people
to work in the kingdom. The address
was well developed and contained

one night they spent the night on the
ranch where Rock was stopping. In

were relieved when Rock left them at

Half the City Obliterated, Public Buildings
Destroyed and 10000 People Homeless.
Loss Estimated at 81 500, 900 to s12 .OOO.-
600.
BosroN, April r. A northeast gale fam
ned small insignificant fire into vast con-
fagration today, completely celebrating one
half of the city of Chelsea, destroyed 800
dwelling houses and public buildings, drove
1900 families from their habitations and rem
dered 10000 people homeless. The city So
licitOr estimates the loss at $4,000, 900.
The fire area, which was in the form OF
an ellipse, extended for mile and hall,
and was only ended when the water was
reached at Chelsea creek.
Starting from a backing factory at the
| northwestern end of the city at about 10. 30
a. m. today, it marched relentlessly through
the business section and destroyed tenement
houses on either side by hundreds. Assist
ance from all the nearby cities was called
in, but the great battery of fire apparatus
was unable to stop the flames until nearly
dark.
In the meantime the fleeing inhabitants
were met by such vast crowd of spectators
that it was necessary to cal! for troops. and
the United States government and the State
militia were drawn upon to maintain Order
and keep the fire lines clear for the firemen.
All the banks, more than three quarters
of the churches, fully half of the business
section and nearly all the scho0lhouses were
| wiped out.
In the turmoil many of the sick and infirm
found difficulty in obtaining assistance and
even were forgotten 80 that at II O'Clock the
number of known dead was four. Three Of
these had been burned to death and one
woman committed suicide at her home, as
the building caught fire.
Relief work for the care Of the homeless
| was begun within six hours after the fire
started and at 10 o'clock tonight was in full
swing under the leadership of the State
Board of Charity.
Thirteen churches, three bank buildings,
City Hall, public library, post office, Ma
sonic hall, and the new and old Odd Eel
lows halls were destroyed. -Four churches
were left. The city has been placed under
| martial law and licenses have been sus-
pended in the East Boston district.
George P Field, ex-president of the Bos-
ton board Of fire nderwriters, said he fully
expected the losses in the companies repre-
sented in the office of Field & Cowles alone
would approximate million and Dali
sour companies can stand the gaff, all
right" said he, "but it does make them
pretty tired. guess the national board Of
fire underwriters will feel kind OF sorry 1t
hasn't yet gone over Chelsea with its fine
tooth comb"

A good digestive system, one that acts so

sleepless, nervous and out of sorts-then
the stomach is diseased and prompt action
