Mr.. Bryan said:

official position in the world,
and no one occupying it can af-
ford to have his views upon public
questions subordinated by personal
am bition. Recognizing his RESPONSE
billty to guard, and his obliga ton to

Receivers.

Raleigh News and Observer.
The receivers of the Norfolk and
Southern Railway surprised the sys-
tenn in regard to the time Of their in
spsction tour, az their special train W ~
not expected until next week. They
left Raleigh yesterday after making q
thorough examination of every thing
affecting the road here, resuming their
inspection of their steam lines in North
Carolina.
The receivers yesterday morning
held a brief conference with Judge
Thomas R. Purnell, ancillary receiver.
After the conference Judge Purnell
stated that the receivers would re-
trench. and that it appeared that the
old management had spent a great
deal of money needlessly.
It is rsmemb bered that when Re-
ceivsr Thomas Fitzgerald, who has
been selected as general manager fo1
the receivers, was general manager Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railway he
put in force policy Of retrsnchment,
and the dropping of President F. 8.

many more thousands of dollars saved
to the road The general manager
has a definite policy which he intends
to put in operation, but this will be
medified by his inspection of the road.
There will be no further sensational
changes, and nothing will be done to
disturb the confidence Of the public in
the receivers or to make the receiver
ship unpopular. On tho other hand
the receivers will not hesitate to make
every improvement that is needed and
nothing will Ibe done to interfere in
the least with lthe proper operation Of
the road.

BOSTON SUFFERS
$I,5OO,OOO FIRE
Most Destructive Fire That
Has Occurred in That
City in Recent
Years.
COnflagfatien Does Tremendous
Damage to Property Along the
Water Front, Many Vessels
Narrowly Escaping.
Two Persons
Missing.

Boston, Mass, July "a fire, be
lieved to have been caused by spon-
taneous com bust1on or spark from a
locomotive, and famed by brisk
northwest wind, swept nearly quar-
ter of a mile of the harbor front OF East
Boston late yesterday, causing prop
erty loss estimated at nearly $780,
900. Much Of the loss falls upon the
Boston and Albany railroad.
Two persons were reported missing,
and it is thought thot both perished in
the flames. One OF them was Daniel
Sullivan, a watchman at the Cunard
line pier, and the othsr was Miss Sadie
Arnold, employed by the Cunard
Steamship Company.
Yesterdays fire was the biggest and
most destructive that has broken out
along the harbor front for many years.
The flames spread with remark able
rapidity, and by the time the first fire
fighting apparatus arrived upon the
scene, they were beyond control, and
lea ping from pier to pier.
Within an hour of the time the fire
was discovered, four piers, three ware-
houses, grain elevator, containing
1000 bushels of grain, and many
loaded freight cars had already been
consumed.
Several vessels and lighters narrow
ly escaped destruction. The big Ley
land line steamer Devonian, which ar
rived yesterday from Liverpool. was
moored at one Of the piers which was
destroyed. The discipline on the De-
vonian was SO excellent, however, tina
she was warped out into the stream
without even having a square inch OF
paint blistered.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful Tt Is
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Cost Nothing TO Try.

| CVSo Awning 10 ldy.
Nearly everybody knows that
charcoal is the safest and most efi-
cient disinfectant and purifier in ma
ture, but few realize its value when
taken into the human system for the
same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the
more you take of 1t the better; II IL
not a drug at all, but simply, abb
serbs the gases and impurities al.
ways present In the stomach and In
testines and carries them out of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Inn
proves the complexion, 1t whitens
the teeth and further acts as a nat
ural and eminently safe cathartlc.
IL absorbs the Injurious gases
which collect in the stomach and
bowels; It disinfects the mouth and
throat from the poison OF catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one
form or another, but probably the
best charcoal and the most for the
money Is In Stuart's Charcoal Log
enges; they are composed of the fin-
est powdered Willow charcoal, and
other harmless antiseptics In tablet
form or rather In the form of large
pleasant tasting lozenges. the char

that no possible harm can result from
their continued use, but, on the con-

OF tho benefits OF charcoal, says: "I

complexion and purify the breath.
