"You cannot overturn the estab-

you can hold the present 70 . higher
standard and try to improve it. To
seize the scheme Of things, shatter il

hearts desire, is beyond the power
Of anyone You must be brave
enough to realize that you are part
of the scheme of things; that you arc
part of that endless chain of
humanity that stretches backward
through centuries untold and reaches
forward into the eternity of time
itself. And while you will always
have your Limitations, you can by
proper effort rise to the full measure
of man and woman; and when YOU
can bring yourselves to realize the
value Of that progress that is part

by those laws that hold the stars in

Of the universe and make humanity

"You will differ much on the quee-

emphasize again to respect the

the Liggett & Myers Company and 9th.
err former concerns in the American

has a separate buyer and is operating
entirely independent and in COMPETE

1t is believed that within the next
month another tobacco deal will be al .
ranged by which the remainder of all
the pool holdings in the Burley Tobacco

more Of these companies. If this is done,

forward. In England some Of the com

little demand for the current for light

way to reduce the cost will he TO COM

Louisville, KY, Jan. A -Four hun
dred thousand dollars is the estimated
loss caused by fire that tonight de-
stroyed three ladies' apparel establish
ments, damaged the Baldwin piano
store and slightly damaged the Courier.
Journal building. All Of the damaged
buildings are situated in Fourth street,
between Green and Walnut streets.
At 1870 o'clock tonight the blaze was
under control.
The fire started in the store Of H. J
Gutman q Co., shortly before 9 o'clock,
AMI soon destroyed the stock there and
that Of Abe Levi & Co., in the same
building. 1t then swept to the four sto.
ny building of the Swartz Co.. and then
to the Baldwin store The damage to
the latter is mostly from water.
The Swartz Co. is the heaviest loser.
The officers of the company place the
loss at 100000 The Courier Journals
job printing plant was damaged and
for a time it was believed the office
proper would be destroyed.
In the theaters in the neighborhood
the changing of bells was heard and the
talks from the stage prevented what is
said was an approaching panic of Sc
rious proportions. Not fireman was
hurt, though they suffered from the in
tense cold
