MoNrpELIER's $4,000 FIRE.
In Z. N. Rock Stable Threatened to Wipe
Out Montpelier House.

Montpelier had $4,000 fire about q
O'Clock last night, when the livery stable
of +. n. Rock was completely 'gutted
aud the Montpelier house was in great
danger OF destruction. The building was
owned by A. L. Sparrow, proprietor of
the Montpelier house, and was to have
been sold to-day to Perry a Perkins
es the articles of sale had been drawn
up and possession was TO have been CIV
en- this morning, when the papers were
to have been signed.
How the fire started is not known, but
seems TO have originated in the third
story Of the barn, where a large quantity
of hay was stored. A passerby saw
smoke coming ont from under the caves
and turned in an alarm. The entire de-
partment responded and fought desper-
ately for two hours before the fire was
under control.
All the horses were removed from the
stable and all the driving rigs on the
ground floor, with the office furniture,
but in the upper story all the hay was
burned, Is double and single seighs and
several harnesses, while on the second
floor two wagons and harnesses in
storage room were destroyed.
AT times il seemed inevitable that the
Montpelier house itself, to which the sta
bic is attached, must also go, but eff
fective fighting on the part of the fire.
men kept the flames back, although sew
eral rooms in the wing were made use
less by the water and fire. II was s
o'clock when the all out was sounded.
Mr.. Sparrow estimates his loss on the
at $1,000. fully covered by in
surance. and 4. n. Rock. proprietor of
the stable, at $1,000 also, which was

the accident was the wrenching of the |

THE NEW FRENCH PRESIDENT.
From The Times).

PARIS, FEB. Is.
The installation of NJ. Poincare as Presi-
dent of the Republic took place to-day with
more than usual solemnity and with greater
public demonstration than usual. Public
buildings, business establishment, and many
private houses were decked with flags and
bunting, and, in spite of three degrees of
frost and biting wind, great crowds assem-
bled in the streets in order to see the new
President drive in an open carriage
from his house in the Rue du Commandant
Warchand to the Elysee. Accompanied bv
the Prime Minister, M. BRAND, NJ. Poincare,
attired in the Republican simplicity of eve
ming dress without orders, left his house at
20 minute past 2 o'clock and drove to the
Elysee in q State landau drawn by a pair of
horses with gold mounted harness. He was
escorted by a detachment of the First CUR
a%ssiers, with their re9imental colours, a very
fine body of men and admirably mounted.
Throughout the 20 minutes of the drive,
which lay through the Avenue de Malakoff,
the Avenue du Bots de Boulogne, and the
Champs Elysees, the new President was very
cordially greeted with cries of 'eVive Pom
ca,e!" mingled with hurrahs and shouts of
''Vive la France p From the moment when
the Presidential procession started, guns be-

MIR. ROOSEVELT AND JAPAN.
Press Report Denied.
New YORK FEB. Is.

NEW YORK FEB. IS.
A few weeks ago q New York newspaper
printed an article in which it was stated
that IN his "reminiscences, which are shortly
to be published, Mr.. Roosevelt intended o.
make public a letter he had received, VIII g
President, from the Emperor of Japan, ash
ing him, as President, to become the medi
tor for peace between Japan and Russia.
Mr.. Roosevelt authorizes the following
statement to be made:-
A newspaper has made the assertion that
the late Emperor of Japan had written me
a letter asking me to make peace between
Japan and Russia on the ground that Japan
could no longer continue the war. No such
letter was ever written to me by the En-
peror, and no representative of japan ever
said to me, directly or indirectly, that Japan
was III any difficulties about continuing the
war. incidentally | may add that, if [ had
received such a letter, or if any such state
ment had been made TO me, l should, in no
circumstances, have made either the one
or the other public. The entire newspaper
statement in question is a fabricai ioE pure
and simple. In this country it was forgot
ten In a couple Of days; apparently it WAC
printed IN European and japanese neWspa~
pers. This is the reason why [ notice it.
The Oun0OE in its issue this week will
say that this report has led to some very
interesting correspondence from those who
fear that the ex-President in his reminis-
cences "might invade the traditional ~sanctity
of diplomatic negotiations" Such fears,
says the Outlook, are groundless, adding:-
Those who expect sensational revelations
are foredoomed to disappointment he will
reveal nothing and say nothing which cannot
with perfect propriety be brought to public
attention at the time-Ibid.

DIAMOND RosErrEs AND JEwELED FLOWERS.
The Gaekwar of Baroda has lent to the
Victoria and Albert Museum, South Ken

which together constitute the celebrated
"Pearl Carpet of Baroda."
These panels, with other intended gifts,
including q canopy (the "Pearl Veil') and
a set of gold carpet-weights encrusted with
diamonds, were prepared in the reign of
Khande Rao GaekNar (1856-1870), probably
at the instlgation of his Mahommedan wife,
as an offering to the tomb Of Mahommed at
Medina.
The panel, which is suggestive of the
wonders of the whole carpet, consists of an
arabesque design embroidered in pearls and
coloured glass-beads with applied gold
bosses and studs set with lasque fat dia-
monds and cabochon [convex form rubies,
emeralds, and sapphires.
In the centre a conventional full-blown

AMONG HAPPY OLD PEOPLE.


It was not a youthful crowd in full dress
which filed Wittmack's large hail yesterday
evening it was a gathering Of old men and
women, who had met oa the invitation Of the
Society for the Protection Of Lonely Aged
Persons (EnsOmme Gamles Vern). Not less
than 500 old people from the different quar-
ters Of the town had assembled, They were
in their best clothes; there were among them
faded old French shawls and other pieces
OF dress from a time gone by, but most Of
them were correctly dressed, the men hav-
ing the medal on the breast; all were looking
forward to the entertainment and were
happy, even if at the beginning they were
a little uneasy and stiff in their fine clothes.
Pastor Hermann Koch bid them oil well
come and spoke some heartfelt words
concerning the pleasure it was for the So
ciety to see so many guests. Thereupon
the young concert singer Alfred Koefoed,
in fine style, sang some OF Weys's songs to
the accompaniment of Hr. AXel Skierne,
and Pastor Lundsgaard brought q message
Of greeting from the young who had Joined
III working for the old.
And now came the conspicuous feature
OF the evening. Seventy young ladies, with
Miss Harriet Ancher at their head, carried
coffee and cakes round to the guests. There
was a cliuking OF coffee cups ovei the whole
hall, and the old people enjoyed the brown
nectar and the sweet bread, and were now
strengthened to meet the sec ond half Of the
programme.
Hr. Skjerno played several pieces, and a
concert singer, Miss Betty Haas, sang
feelingly some songs by Lange-MuIler and
Wennerber9. The violinist Miss Ebba
Carlson played a couple of pretty things to
the accompaniment Of Miss Bjarnov. Pastor
Hornbeck gave an address and finally Hr.
Koefoed sang "Ler mig, Nations Stjerue"
and "Kongernes Konge".
The beautiful entertainment was closed
with a prayer by Pastor Koch, after which
the whole assembly sang, "Dejlig er Jorden."

DEATH OFAN NDO-CHINEsE PIRATE.
Paris. Feb. 13.

The Governor General of Indo-China re-
ports that the De Than, the notorious pirate
chief, was killed near Keep, in the Jen dis
trict, on February II. The De Than has
given the French authorities an enormous
amount of trouble. He was as elusive as
was De Wet in the South African War, and
on account of his many appearances after
most definite reports of his death he was
known as the "phantom pirate" This time
there seems to be no doubt that he is dead,
for both the local native authorities and the
French Government official in the district
have identified the body.-Ibid.

butter, vegetables and the like were
reshipped to larger towns, returning
profit to the merchants; this profit
could have gone on the farm had
there been a farmers cooperative so
ciety in the place.
Few Gecrgians realize the import
ance of the horticultural Industries in
the state. Cotton, of course, is our
first crop; corn comes next and then
vegetables and fruit The last cen
sus will show that horticultural pur-
suits turn into our state something
over $l5,000,000 a year. This is quite
sum and as it increases the coop
eratiye movement among the farmers
and horticulturists must necessarily
expand. The products of the gardens
and orchard are such that the MAORI
ty of them, must be put upon an inn
mediate market and such condition
almost necessitates cooperation.
