where Nathaniel Hawthorne did much
of his literary work and the House of
Seven Gables made famous by the
novelist.
At late hour tonight, the fire was
burning on Derby street, not far from
the Peabody Museum. but IT was
thought that the building would be
saved. The House of the Seven Ga

the place where the witches were
hanged two and a half centuries ago,

changed its course and crept steadily
in a northerly direction towards Town
House square, the center of the eity's
retail business life.
For time the entire city seemed
doomed, but the firemen concentrated
their energies in a single point of de-
fence near the Boston & Maine rail-
road station. Several buildings in this
vicinity were dynamited, every avail
able line of hose was directed against
the approaching flames. and late to-
night it looked as though the fire had
been checked. Although no fatalities
had been reported up to midnight, it
was feared that some lives probably
had been lost as the fire covered so
great an area.
SO Persons Injured
More than so persons were injured,
but none dangerously.
Thousands of the homeless were
on Salem Common tonight
with such household goods as they
could save piled around them. Long
lines of refugees, crowded the road
leading to Beverly. where hundreds
spent the night in the parks.
Governor Arrives
Governor David I. Walsh arrived

could in behalf of the state.

Systematic Bible Teaching.

According to the news columns OF a relig-
ious Journal, every Sunday school of a certain
Protestant denomination in Iowa is being Wis
tied this autumn by five teams OF two men each
to explain the Iowa plan OF unification OF
church educational work." The plan has been
carefully worked out with the aid and approval
of the higher church boards and is being pre-
sented TO the Sabbath schools in a detailed man
ner to enlist thorough cooperation.

the effect that many otherwise apprehensive
folk have been gratfied at the position taken
by the new superintendent OF public schools in

Postmastership Primaries.

According to Mr.. Brysn's Commoner. the re-
election OF Congressman Dan V. stephens from
the Third Nebraska district by largely in
creased majority lis a distinct endorsement OF
the principle Of electing postmasters at primary
elections" Mr.. stephens has been letting the
patrons Of the postoffice choose between differ
ent democratic candidates for appointment, thus
relieving himself OF the responsibility for
blighted expectations but by no means getting
away from outspoken criticism by advocates OF
the old spoils system. II Mr.. Bryan is correct in
attributing the stephens majority 10 the post
office primary. OF course, shall see all the
other democratic congressman rushing to adopt
a scheme certain to keep them safely con
nected up with their own jobs in congress. Nay
we would even be surprised II the democrats did
not at once enact law making the choice Of
postmasters by primary election compulsory.
and thus insuring democratic control OF congress
in perpetuity. And If good for postmasters
why not equally good for cabinet officers, am
bassadors, consuls general internal nevenue col
lectors and United States marshalsY We fear
however, that the majority of the democratic
Lawmakers will not be 50 quick to accept Mr.
Bryan's reasoning.
