BUILDING DESTROYED BY
EXPLOSION OF OIL LAMP
Fire on Redwood Street, Coupled with
Accident to Engine, Threatens
for a Time to Spread
Extensively

One building was destroyed and two
others were damaged in a fire caused
by an exploding oil lamp at 1925 Red
wood street about II o'clock yesterday
morning.
Two alarms from different boxes were
turned in, and when the firemen re-
sponded the house occupied by w.
Jocelyn was almost completely de-
stroyed and the houses on either side
were in great danger. A slight delay
was caused by the breaking of a hose
connection to one of the engines. The
connection blew off during the height
of the fire and the flames spread to the
adjoining frame buildings before 1t was
mended. Engines and IL and truck
company No. responded to the alarm.
The Jocelyn family had gone across
the street to visit friends, leaving an
oil lamp burning in the kitchen. When
they returned the house was in flames.
The damage to the house destroyed
is estimated at $500, and to the con-
tents at $780, The house at 1873 Red
wood street occupied by John Larkin
was damaged to the extent of S4O, and
the one at 1888, occupied by Mrs. J.
Higgins, was injured about $50

CONATY SPEAKS ON
FAMOUS CHURCHMAN
ST. VINCENT De PAUL DAY
PlOUSLY OBSERVED
Bishop Of Diocese EIaborates Career
of Great Human ExempIar of
Kindness and Charity to
Human Race

The feast of st. Vincent de Paul was
observed yesterday by the quarterly
meeting of the st. Vincent de Paul So
ciety at the Cathedral hall, with Bish-
OPP Conaty presiding. The day was also
observed at st. Vincent's church and
at the Cathedral of st. vlbiana.
Bishop Conaty preached at the 1890
o'clock mass at the cathedral on 1.-THE
Charity of st. Vincent de Paul" He
said in part
"St. Vincent de Paul stood before the
world as an apostle of charity. He was
the great human exemplar of that vir-
tue of kindness and helpfulness to
humanity in all its sufferings. In the
annals of the church there Is no name
closer to that of the divine Savior, or
| dearer to men who love charity, than
that of st. Vincent de Paul. He was
born in France in 1876 and died in 1850.
His parents were simple people, full
of faith in God, and they brought up
their children in habits of piety. Vim
cent de Paul was one of six children.
His first care was in the guarding of
his fathers sheep. Even in childhood
he was remarkable for his kindness to
the poor, dividing among them the
flour he used to bring home from the
mill, and even the bread and few PEN
MES that were given him for his own
use. He received his early education
at a. Franciscan monastery near his
home, and afterward at Toulouse he
studied theology, and was ordained a
priest in 1900.
His early life as priest brought him
| into the field of charity in most re-
markable way, for, while making a
trip from Marseilles to MARION, on the
Mediterranean, he was taken by pi-
! rates and brought to Tunis as a slave.
While there he learned the condition Of
the Christians who, taken captive by
the Barbary pirates, were subjected to
the greatest indignities. 1t was esti-
mated that fully 10000 Christians were
slaves to the Turks. His last master
was an apostate Christian, whom St.
Vincent persuaded to return to the re-
ligion he had abandoned. Together they
escaped from the Turks and returned
to France, where his former master
was received into the church.
1.-THE subsequent life of St. Vincent IS
full of devotion to parochial work,
which led him ultimately to the estap-
lishment of the congregation of priests
which bears his name, and to the es-
Establishment of the Sisters of Charity
and other religious orders In the inter-
ests of charitable work among the peo-
ple. Among the many remarkable fea-
lures of ST. Vincent's charitable work
was his interest in persons who were
sentenced to the galleys So much did
| he identify himself with this work that
he was appointed chaplain general OF
| the ealleys, and it is said that on one
| occasion he took the place of galley
| slave. wore his chains and remained
| inprisoned until the return of the slave
from the bedside of his wife.

AT THE HOTELS

What is probably the first reserva-
ton of hotel space for the Elks' con-
vention, which will be held in Los An
peles next July, was made yesterday
by o. c. Parker, a business man OF
Tucson, Ariz. He has engaged rooms
at the Hollenbeck for the Arizona con-
tingent. Mr.. Parker has just returned
from Dallas, where he had the pleasure
of voting for Los Angeles for the next
convention. He said:
1--WE expect the Arizona delegation
will number about 800. Arizona ana
Southern California are closely re-
lated, and the fact that a. great many
Arizonans spend the summer In Los
Angeles anyway will make our oele-
cation unusually large.
"AIl with whom 1 have talked are
greatly pleased that Los Angeles IS 70
be the convention city, for, II Detrolt
had won, many would have oeen uh-
able to attend on account of the dis
lance. While we count on 500, 1t may
run much over that number.
'It is probable that this convention
will be the largest that has ever been
held in this city. l suppose there were
about $4,000 Shriners here last year,
but there will be $4,000 Elks in the city
next year.

Deeply Touched by Misery

"St. Vincent de Paul In his charit-
able work sought not only to provide
for the things of the body, but was
also anxious for the salvation of Souls.
He was deeply touched by the misery
of the unfortunate, and his soul went
out to the poor, and especially the
aged and the orphans He took partic-
Mar interest in abandoned children and
in Young girls who seemed unable to
take care Of themselves, and the estab-
lishment of the Sisters of Charity arose
from his desire to provide protection
and aid for those who were dependent
upon the charity of the world.
'eHe was the first to send the Sisters
~ charity as nurses for the wounded
soldiers on the battle fields, to care for
the sick in hospitals and especially to
provide homes and care for abandoned
infants"
Bishop Conaty spoke of the Society
of the Conferences of st. vincent ue
Paul which had just celebrated It's
seventy-fifth anniversary, having been
organized in Paris in 1888 for the pur-
pose of bringing Catholic laynen INTO
fine work of organized charity among
the people. Like all great works, II
began in the humblest way, organized
nv a group of young men in news
naper office in Paris for the purpose OF
answering unbelievers who had fire.
ouently sneered at the theory of char
ity, but had asked where were ner
works. The conferences of ST. Vincent
de Paul are found throughout the world
and consist of Catholic laymen exciu-
sively, who give of their means TOT
works of spiritual and corporal mercy.
Tbev labor in the instruction as we'll as
in the help of the poor
The bishop commended the work or
the conferences in Los Angeles, and
said it was most consoling to find 100
Catholict laymen in the different par
ishes of the city working unostenta-
tiously but effectively in teaching the
moor to respect and help themselves.

ment, no matter how rank some may
believe the heresy to be. Bring men a
gospel that will enable them to live
good, clean, natural lives, free from
excitement, worry and disappointment;
give men and women sufficient time to
spend with their families, and enough
intelligence to make the best use OF
their time; teach mankind to get right
in their hearts, to think right and be
right, show them the effect of the
spirit and the mind upon the body,
make them familiar with the great
laws of psychology, and inspire them to
make the highest use of all the pow

FINLEY IS SEEN NEAR

Ed Finley, the man who shot Jas.

made his escape, was seen in this vicinity
on Saturday evening; or at least a man
was seen who III every respect answered
the description Of Finley.
He was met on the railroad track about
half a mile west of town about 4 O'Clock
Saturday afternoon by B. s. Rich, who
was returning to town from hunting
trip.
He carried an &atomatle Winchester
rifle, two 3S-caliber revolvers and a hunt
ing knife. He offered to sell the rifle to
Mr.. Rich, and they talked the matter
over for some time, but could not agree
upon a price. At the time Mr.. Rich
knew nothing about the KalispelI mur-
der and did not know the man to whom
he was talking. He states that Finley
appeared weary and nervous. 1t is

COUNCIL ORDERS STREET
LIGHTS

The regular meeting of the town coun-
Gil was held on Monday night, those
present being Mayor E. H. Snyder, Clerk
b. F. Maiden and Aldermen McCabe,
Riach, Geddes, Little and Skyles.
The most important business transacted
was in regard to street lights. When the
electric light company first got their FRAN
chise and came before the council to as
certain how many lights the town would
take, they did not receive much encour-
agement, as at that time the towns f.
nances were very low. Since then, how
ever, the treasury has been picking up
rapidly, and when the matter of lights
again came up it was decided that the
town could afford to spend in the neigh
borhood of 500 per month for street
lighting at present.
Eugene Enloe, president Of the electric
light company, appeared before the
council and addressed the members rela-
tive to the lights, stating that the COM
pany had put in a first class plant in
Whitetsh and would be able to give good
service. He stated that the best rate
that could be made for street lights
would be $40 per month for arc lights
and $3.50 per month for 32 candle power
incandescent lights. The arc lights will
be used Oh some of the main corners and
the incandescent lights in the residence
districts. Aldermen McCabe, Skyles and
Geddes were appointed as a committee
to locate the lights. t
The treasurer reported a balance on
hand of 81 ,52S. The town owes some-
thing like 81, 700, outside of the bonded
indebtedness.
The police magistrate reported fines
for the month amounting to $186, $l20 Of
which represented "speciap fines.
The clerk was instructed to draw up an
ordinance prohibiting the issuance of any
more saloon licenses, and providing that
if any of the present holders Of licenses
dropped out of business, no more licenses
should be issued until the number of
saloons in the town was reduced to eight
There was some discussion OF plan to
put the town in all improvement dis
trict in order to compel property owners
to remove the stumps from streets and
alleys adjoining their property. The
street and alley committee was instructed
to get an estimate on the cost Of the work.
