quarters, Constantinople, yesterday,
was extinguished at midnight. The
houses in the quarter were mostly built
of wood and proved easy prey for the
flames carried by the high wind. 1t is
estimated that more than 1000 build
ings were destroyed.
A number of firemen and women and
children are reported to have been
burned to death. The homeless prob
ably number 1000.

LYONS MILITANT.

Col. James Lyons has emerged from
the seclusion which he has enjoyed for
some years, and is prancing around the
Hon. Harry st. Geo. Tucker, scraping
his wing feathers against his leg and
doing some growing. We hear he de-
sires to mount the stump and engage
in joint debate with tour Harry"
agreeing to take the place of Mr..
Wyndham R. Meredith who, report
says, Mr.. Tucker challenged to joint
debate recently.
Just why Mr.. Lyons seeks new ave-
nues to oblivion we do not know, but
it is our firm belief that should he
"tackle" Harry he would find himself
relegated to a depth of oratorical moth
ingness and Obscurity from which Ga
briel could not call him with the loud
est blast of his most gigantic trumpet.

We have heard that some old life
life long Democrats in West Virginia
will vote for Taft this time. No man
who has gone through what the Re
publican party has imposed on the
South since the war and for while on
West Virginia, should ever be found in
Taft company, if he ever wants to look
his neighbors in the face again. The
policy of the Republican party in West
Virginia has been sufficient in the asst
few years to turn good men of that
paaty against it.

2 Things You Don't See in Sewing Machine
q Don't judge any sewing machine just by
the way it looks.
g Enamel paint and shiny varnish are good
th;ngs, but they don't make machine
run well or last Icng.
" Experience and judgment and intent com.
bined with manufacturing facilities, are the
things yoss should consider before buying!
" These points, combined with rigid sys.
tern of inspection and tests, give lasting
value to every Singer Sewing Machine.
g You can't see then. but you learn them
in the easy, effective working of every
part-and their value becomes more plain
to you after years of service.
" Every Singer IS perfect when it leaves the
factory-your daughter will say it's still
perfect when you have no more use for it.

Things That Remain

Religious conceptions are changing.
Creeds are crumbling. The faith of
our fathers no longer commands our
loyalty or satisfies our need. The old
doctrines are being given up one by
one by the conpulsion of a protesting
intelligence. Do you grieve for them,
fancytng truth is dead? You need not.
Truth lives. The best remains. Real
ities abide. The great facts of life,
love, justice, character, are untouched
by the changing processes of evolution.
They are only the more clearly re-
vealed. Nothing dies save to give place
to something better. This is the fine
faith given BY liberal religion
