collector from the jeweler de-
handing payment fer tho en-

chased: the florist who had supplied
the duke with offerings for Miss
Shonts during the courtship; an under
taker who wanted to be paid for bury
ing a lady in whom the Duke had been
previously interested. There were
also shoemakers, shirtmakers. and all
sorts of people, all with bills in their
hands and eager to be paid. 1t was

euished educators who have gone out
from this State. He was born IN

from Bow doin III 1859 and from the
Medical department of the college
three years later. From 1854 to 1873
he was professor of chemistry at Bow

The Chelsea Fire.

The terrific gale Of Saturday and
Sunday which swept over New Eng
land gave the fire fiend an opportunity
which it could not fail to improve
somewhere, and the city Of Chelsea,
Mass, was the unhappy victim. 1t
was the worst fire the county has
known since the terrible San Francisco
disaster of April, 1900, and one of the
half dozen worst in the history of the
United States. The property loss is
placed at fully $l0,00O,0UO which was
Charleston, s. c., in 1861 and at the
burning of Portland in 1866. Greater
fires in this country have been as fol-
lows: New York, 1885, loss 81. 100000;
Boston, 1872, loss $4,000, 600; Baltimore,
1904 loss, s50,OO0,O 900, and San Francisco,
1906, loss, $35O.00O,0O0. The extent of
the San Francisco fire is better appre-
ciated when it is stated that the loss
was greater than the combined fire loss
Of the whole county for 1905 and 1907,
the years before and after the San
Francisco fire.
But the Chelsea fire is bad enough.
with it's 10000 people homeless in the
bleak spring. and with the city's pub
lie buildings, five schoolhouses, hospi-
tails, all it's banks, 13 churches, a score
Of manufacturing establishments and
the heart of it's business section in
ashes. Fortunately with a great city
and many smaller ones at hand there
are prompt and adequate relief meas
ures for those homeless and destitute.
Considering the way in which the
flames were famed by the fierce gale
it seems a wonder that the list of cas-
ualties is so sr,all. Maine has a spe-
cial interest in Chelsea, as it has in
all of Roston's suburbs, from the fact
that it is the home of a great number
of former Maine people. The popula-
ton of the city was $4,000 by the CEN
sus of 1900 and Of course is many
thousands larger now.
