one of the most powerful he has yet

illustrations explanatory of what IS
meant by the spirit power.
The influence of the spirit of his

not believe in the domination of

as degrading forces The Spirit of

Blaze Which Started in Box of Rub

About o'clock Tuesday afternoon
an alarm from box 35 called the de-
partment to No. Tyler avenue. or
Sturtevant avenue, for a IRE which
was fast consuming tho dwelling there
owned by Gilbert Bowers and occupied
by Rudolph Krohn and family. The
neighbors had previously te1ephoned
for the department, but on the way the
chief sent in the alarm. The fire was
on the outside Of the building, the
strong wind having famed it. and the
entire front was ablaze. Hose was
laid from some distance, but the fire
was soon out though the blake in the
veranda roof gave some trouble. It
started in a box under the front veran-
de, at a basement door, being seen by
q neighbor. The damage will amount
to several hundred dollars, but the de-
partment was fortunate in saving the
house. which is a new one, the family
having occupied 1t but a week. There
is small insurance on the building,
bat Mr. Krohn had not had his policy
Transferred since he moved. Grass had
been burned across the road, but
whether this started the fire is not
known. Boys had been starting IRE
with papers and this, 1t is thought,
caused the fire.

LOVING CUP PRESENTED
TO suPT. sYMINcToN
Given by Nurses on His Return from
a Trip to New York.

Supt. Frederick Symington of the
Backus hospital was treated to the
most delightful kind of a surprise on
Tuesday morning. when he returned to
his orce at the hospital, after a brief
absence in New York in the interests
OF his health. When he entered his
office it was to find his desk literally
buried In Beautiful roses and other
fragrant flowers, while the entire staff
Of nurses was assembled to welcome
his return. The particular demonstra-
tfon OF their welcome came when Miss
Russell, one of the Junior nurses.
stepped forward with a handsome sill
yer loving cup for Supt. Symington,
filled with Individual gifts from each
one. and in presenting the cup read
an original poem which appropriately
voiced the affection and high esteem
felt for Supt. Symington by the entire
stan of nurses The pretty sentiment
shawn by the roses was nueatly woven
thought that a few flowers scattered
along life's pathway were worth much
elaborate eulogy after death.
Supt. Syminston was much affected,
but made q brief and suitable response
whene he had recovered from 3his COM
plete surprise The cup presented is a
handsome piece OF si1verware, standing
fourteen inches high, double handled
and gold lined. On the front is the
inscription: s1894--1s11. Presented to
Frederick Symington by the Nurses.
The two dates represent Mr.. Sym
ington's service OF seventeen years as
superintendent at the Backus hospital,
making him the oldest acting superin-
tendelt in the state. In this time he
has had four opportunities to locate
elsewhere, once 10 go to one of the
largest hospitals in New Orleans, once
to Philadelphia, once to a Massachu-
sets hospital, but his attachment. to
the local institution has been such
that he never felt Like leaving.
In consequence of his long term OF
close application his health showed
signs of impairment in the aerly part
of the year. and at the directors meet
ing on February 28th they requested
that he take the vacation that seem
ed needed. In following out their sug-
gestion, Mr.. Symington has been away
for short time, and is likely to take
still further rest as he finds it con-
venient and needed
One of the other pleasant reminders
of the day on Tuesday was a letter
from William A. Slater.
