New Orleans, Aug. 31.-Fire that
broke out in the center of the com

swept over portions of three blocks,
destroying a large number of whole
sale houses, manufacturing plants and
stores. Originating at Beinville and
Chartres streets, the flames worked
their way north as far as Cont street
and west to Royal street, with loss
OF between $1,00O,000 and $4,000, 900
before the flames were finally subdued.
At the time the alarm was turned in,
shortly before 3 o'clock, the New Or

their annual picnic at a suburban
park and the engines and patrols re-
sponded with a mere handful of men

The fire was one of the most spec
tacular that has occurred in New Or
leans during recent years.
Two warehouses filed with wines
and liquors were among the buildings
destroyed. Barrels of whisky and
brandy exploded with thunderous
roars which could be heard for blocks
and which shook the walls of adjoin-
ing buildings and endangered the lives
of firemen engaged in fighting the
flames. 1t was not until several hours
had elapsed that the fire was gotten
under control, and even then it con-
tinued to burn well into the night.

Have Postponed Their Exposition to
1917.
The governments financial policy,
decided upon by the cabinet involves
the curtailment of expenditures by
100000, 900, of which 80 per cent will
be taken from the army budget and
10 per cent from that of the navy
The postponement of the exposition,
Premier Kaysura says, is not purely
due to financial reasons, but is owing
to the fact that the work of prepare
ton has been insufficient and it will
be quite impossible to make a credit
able exposition within three years on
an appropriation of five millions.
Therefore, as the necessary appro-
priation would be inconsistent with
the economical plans of the cabinet for
the next five years, it is wiser for the
government to admit that fact than to
fail in making complete success of
the exposition which it has been de-
cided will be held in 1917, the ami
versary of the accession of the en-
peror
In this manner Japan admits her
financial stringency, but insists on the
utmost economy and depends on for
eign countries accepting the situation
as an act of wise economy on the part
of the nation.

SPIRITUAL WELFARE.
Society of Religious Education Dis
cusses Children in the Home

1.-The Childs Associations was the sub
ject of an address by Mrs. ]. c. Fernald.
president of the mothers club of the
w. c. T. U. of the District of Columbia.
yesterday afternoon at meeting held
under the auspices of the American So
ciety of Religious Education in the Sun
day school room of Calvary Baptist
Church. The purpose of the meeting was
to consider the Spiritual Welfare of the
Child in the Home"
1T is good for a boy to learn to get
along with boys said Mrs. Fernald:
ito mingle with them at school and at
play. and especially to have the outdoor
games which give precision and skill.
and the energy which makes good team
work and makes boy sacrifice his own
brilliant play at times to the good of the
team OF bcys and which helps him prac-
tice self-control when it is hard and learn
the self-mastery which will be needed
later on in life.
Boys who are kept away from play
mates and hearty games and outdoor life
seldom grow up to be strong, vigorous
men. There is also the close fellowship
of our teacher who took us as children
upon long trampS after wild flowers. who
told us the choicest stories of Scott and
who came to our birthday parties and
was as dear to us the Sunday scohol
teacher who led us to Christ.
These two teachers nodded and shaped
our lives as no others outside of the home
circle could. And what can i say as to
the ever-present influence of the gentle,
patient mother and the strong noble
father in character building? Rose
Terry Cooke owed to her father her love
of nature. 1t was he who taught her to
study the clouds and the stars. flowers
and weeds and landscapes
In closing Mrs. Fernald said: 1.-The best
con1rade a girl can have is a loving. God
fearing mother She is the first compan-
ion. the ever-ready sympathzer in all
small troubles and the one who does not
tire of her when other people do
At the conclusion of Mrs. Fernald's re-
marks Mrs Mary E. Ireland made a short
address upon "a Chapter of My Expe-
riences as Sunday School Teacher"
Mrs. Ireland detailed her long experience
as a teacher in Sunday schools in city
and country. For many years. she stated.
