Historic Forest Fires.

The terrible work of the flames which have burned over and destroyed hum dreds and thousands of acres of timber and property 10 the value of millions, ln the Lake States. recalls "a memory other great forest tires which have at tained historic importance.
 One of the earliest of these WAS the great sMiramichi tire of lsaa. IL began its greatest destruction at about one o'clock in the afternoon of October sth of that year, al place about sso miles above the.iown of Newcastle, on Mira machi river. in New Brunswick. Be- fore len o'clock al night il was s miles below Newcastle. In nine hours il ha destroyed belt of forest sa miles long and s5 miles wide. Over more than two and one hall million acres almost every living thing WAS killed. Even the fish were afterwards found dead in heaps upon the river banks. About sso buildings were burned, and a number of towns, including Newcas-

Baptist State Convention.

The S5th annual meeting Of the Con. neetieut Baptist Convention in con Junction with the anniversary meetings Of the Conference Of Baptist Ministers of Connecticut and other State Baptist organizations, closed its three days sessions last week Wednesday.
 Addresses and reports were made by the various organizations.
 The officers of the Convention elected were as follows:
 President-Rev. T. Edwin Brown, b. p., New Britain.
 SecTetary-Rev. +. Sanderson, Mont vile.
 Directors-Ashford Association, Rev. C. | Ramsay, Thompson.
 Fairfield Association, Rev. S. D.. Woods, New Milford.
 Hartford Association, Rev. C. l.. Buckingham, Plainville.
 New Haven Association, Rev. C. l.. Pierce, Essex.
 New London Association, Rev. F. D. Luddington, Quaker Hill.
 Stonington Association, Rev. G, B. Marston, Stonington.
 Trustees-ReV. Geo. NJ. Stone, Rev. ] w. Richardson of Stamford, Rev. P. C. Wright of Norwich, Rev. K. A. Ashworth, Meriden.
 The introduction of nine recently or dained ministers was an interesting feature of the afternoon session. A glad welcome was extended to them by the President.
 The Treasurer reported . deficit of s 6,0O0, caused by the campaign to raise money to restore these funds. Report ing for the Restoration Fund, he stated that about S52, ,0o0 had been received on account of that fund, which has been invested in good securities. This, with the Eunice Wood Fund, received last year, will constitute permanent fund of nearly sl00,o0-the income each year to be applied to the current expenses of the convention. The con- vention has never had as large an en- dowment as it has today, and the out look. he said, is, that within few years the endowment will be Sl50, 600 something which Connecticut Bap- lists little dreamed of three years ago.
 On the second day, Tuesday, the ses- sions were similar 10 those on the day previous.
 On Wednesday the Convention ex- pressed it's desire to become affiliated with the Northern Baptist Convention and took steps to be thus united.
 Committees to report next year were appointed. Rev. J. K. Stubbert of Put nam, was appointed on the Historical committee.
 Interesting reports were made on Temperance and on the Sanctity of the Sabbath.

tie, Chatham and Douglastown, were destroyed. One hundred and sixty per sons perished, and nearly thousand head of stock. The loss from the Mi ramichi fire Is estimated at s3e0, ,0oo- not including the value of the timber.
 In the majority of such forest fires as this the destruction of the timber Is a more serious loss, by far, than that of the cattle and buildings, for it carries with IL the impoverishment Of whole region for tens or even hundreds of years afterwards. The loss of the stumpage value of the timber at the time of the fire is but small part of the damage to the neighborhood. The wages that would have been earned in numbering, added to the value of the produce that would have been parchas- ed to supply the lumber camps, and the taxes that would have been devo- ted to roads and other public improve. ments, furnish a much truer measure of how much, sooner or later, il costs a region when it's forests are destroyed by fire.
 The Pehstigo fire of October, 1871 was still more severe than the Miramichi. IL covered an area of more than 2,0o0 square miles in Wisconsin, and involv- ed loss in timber and other property of millions of dollars. Between ,2l0 and I ,5o0 persons perished, including nearly half the population of Pashtigo, at that time a town of 2,0O0 inhabi- tants. Other fires, at about the same time, were most destructive in Nichi- gan. A strip about 40 miles wide and about lso miles long, extending across the central part of the State, from Lake Michigan To Lake Huron, was devas- tated The estimated loss in timber was about four billion feet board meas ure, and in money over Sio,ooo,o 900. Se- yeral hundred persons perished.
 In the early part of September, 1881, great fires covered more than l 800 square miles in various parts of Mich igan. The estimated loss, in property, in addition to many hundred thousand acres of valuable timber, was more than Sa,aoo,uO0. Over 5,O0o persons were made destitute, and the number of lives lost Is variously estimated at from l50 to 50O.
 The most destructive fires of more recent years was that which started near Aidckiey, Minnesota, September I, 1894. While the area burned over was less than in some other great fires, the loss of life and property was very heavy. Hinckley and six other towns were destroyed, 50 lives were Host. more than a,o0o were left destitute, and the estimated loss in property of var- eus kinds was 90, ,00, ,ooo. Except for the heroic conduct of locomotive engi- neers and other railroad men, the loss of life would have been much greater.
 This fire was all the more deplorable because it was wholly unnecessary. For many days before the high wind came and drove 1t into uncontrellsole fury, it was burning slowly close 10 the town of Hinckley and could have could have been put out.

International Congress ca Tuberculosis

Joseph Ii. Townsend, MD, Secreta. " of State Board of Health, in his monthly report for September, gives this condensed report of the Tubercu- iasis Congress recently held in the city of Washington:
 The International Congress on Tu. eereulosis was most remarkabl gath ering and all those in attendance must have felt well repaid for the trip 10 Washington. The exhibition was mar. vicious and showed the work being done all over the world in the crusade against tuberculosis by public and private as- soeiations, in the way of sanatoria and hospitals for the treatment of this dis ease, and its prevention by improving tenement house and factory conditions and pro, iding playgrognds for the ehiI- dren. The Connecticut exhibit, while small compared with some of the other State exhibits, showed In concise form what we are doing here.

IN the Thirty Years In the United
States Senate" by Thomas Hart Ben
ton, Missourl's famous United States
senator, there is scant mention Of Ben.
toms colleague from Missouri. David
Barton. The only place in which his
name occurs is where Senator Benton
gives the roll coll Of the senate. and
Earton's name Of course is therein
contained. Benton undertook to pun
ish Burton by ignoring him and thus
relcgate the first United States sena-
tor from Missouri to oblivion. Barton
had brought about Benton's election to
the senate. Barton was 6rst named by
the legislature. and there was long
contention as to the second senator
ship. Finally Barton's friendship for
Benton brought about Benton's cleo
ton. Later the two 4uarrelcd over the
appointment OF an indian agent in the
far west aud drifted further and fur
Their apart. Finally the relations be-
tween the two senators became such
that they scarcely spoke to one an-
other when they met.-Kansas City
