Destroyed by I'lrn.
The dwelling of Daniel Hodslus, of
New Cemetery street, wnrt totally de
stroyed by fire Inst night ut 10 o'clock.
The ceneral alarm sounded Fourth
ward and tho Mitchell Hose company
responded l.romptly. They ran hhort
of hose and found the flro hydrant fro
zen. "While they were nfter more hope
the Ice was thawed. With the second
lot of hose they enabled to not within
ISO feet of the blirnlne; bulldinp, but
owinR to the altitude the water force
was Insufficient to reach the blaze.
About five minutes later the Columblas
camo upon the .sceno with still more
hose nnd a ptreatn was soon playing on
the Jlames, but there was nothing left
to HUVO.
The city fathers should now see tho
necessity of buying a team for the Col
umblas who were obllKO.i to go to a
livery. Mad th'ey reached the flro ns
boon as tha Mitchells the building could
have been saved nnd the damage would
have been very Bllcht.
The fire originated from a defective
stove pipe. The household effeots were
carried out. There is no Insurance.
Mr. lTodglns lin besn purstiM by
hard luck nil his days. Ho has 'hurled
two wives, had a great deal of elck
nesg in his family, siieffred the loss of
several fingers and a badly burned face
in a mine explosion and for the past
three years hns been totally blind.
SCHOOL AFFAIRS.
Director-elect Hushes Is Consorvn-tlvc--l)end
Timbor.
Those who are expecting Director
elect T. F. Hughes to create a great
stir when he becomes seated on the
school board will be disappointed. Mr.
Hughes Is not on tho radical order.
In fact, he is inclined to be conserva
tive and instead of attempting any
general overturning, it is believed by
those who know him best that he will
quietly and thoroughly study the sit
uation and effect such reforms as ho
may have in mind by bringing the
other members Into harmony with him.
Yes, there is need of reform. The
school system is not more perfect than
other systems of government and there
Is plenty of opportunity for each of the
ambitious young directors-elect to dis
tinguish himself ind servo the com
munity well.
It Is a well-known fact that there are
some useless appendages among the
intellectual lights that are paid to illu
mine the minds of our youth. There
arc arc lights, incandescent lights and
candles. Some of the candles, whether
they bo old or young, should be forced
Into other vocations. There would be
some gain in pensioning them.
GOLDEN JUBILEE.
Hormm UrtptUt Church Hill Com
uiciico Celebrating on Feb. T.
The Iferenn Haptlst church of this
city will commence the celebration of
Us golden jubilee on the twenty-sev-cntB
Inst. A programme Is in course
of preparation which will require four
days to carry out. Many interesting
details of history will be 'brought out
In connection with the commemoration
of the church'3 birth which occurred
half a century ago.
Having rounded up Buch a long per
iod, with gratifying accomplishments
the pastor and people feel like making
this a grand celebration und it will
doubtless long be remembered as onu
of the greatest, events in the organiza
tion's history. The programme will be
made public some time next week.
PLEASANTLY ENTERTAINED.

tertained a number of friends at a pro
gressive euchre party Wednesday even

L. Crane, Dr. W. A. Spencer, H. T.
Williams, H. G. Llkeley, G. M. Patter
son, Harry and Edward Carr, and Mr.
Humphrey, of Boston, Mass.
MR. WILLIAMS ELECTED.
The statement appearing In both the
local papers that G. W. Norrls was
elected to tho common council from the
Sixth wnrd was erroneous. It was due
to a mistake in transcribing the re
turns, In which 100 was added to the
vote of Mr. Not is. Tho true standing
of the candidates was given In the de
tailed vote by districts In The Tribune.
The ward will be represented by Harry
Williams and Leonard Campbell, two
Btaunch young Bepubllcans.

Doctors now agree thai
consumption is curable.
Three things, if taken to
gether, will cure nearly every
case in the first stages; the
majority of cases more ad

far advanced.
The first is, fresh air; the se
cond, proper food'; the third,
Scott's Emulsion of cod-liver

To be cured, you must not

from the Troy Times.
The Poatolllce department has on
numerous occasions Insisted on chang
ing the names of olflces, even when the
natives had no desire for such changes
and protested against them. If the
Washington people are so fond of
choosing appropriate names they
should devote their attention exclus
ively to those towns whose Inhabitants
desire relief. Such places are surely to
be found. There Is one, for example, up

A century ago It was called "Skunk's
Misery." Later the terms "Ptiduch,"
"Hnrdscrabble." "Mink Hole" and
"Suckervllle" were applied In turn and
then dropped becuuse they didn't begin
to convey the prevailing idea. There

was ready for moro when Bailey camo
along and shut off further dobate.
Bailey's Mistake was named for Sam
Bailey, a coasting trader who used to
sail Into Lubec harbor ns often as onco
a month, the "mistake" part being
added at the tlmo of Bailey's last voy
age, so that future navigators and
geographers would know whoso mis
take it was. There arc two waterways
that lead up to Lubec from tho Atlan
tic ocean, one a, wide and navigable
ship channel, and the other a wide nnd
rocky shoal that nffordg excellent pas
turage for flounders and other fish of
small draft. About ten years ago
Bailey was beating his sloop up to Lu
bec anchorage and took the wrong way.
He knew all about the shoal water and
the rocks, and had become so familiar
with the course that he paid no heed,
presuming that his sloop could find her
way without help. Thero is where tho
"mistake" came In, for trusting too
much to the Intelligence of his sloop
tho craft went nground on the rocks
nnd was chewed Into toothpicks before
morning.
As nobody ever saw anything of
Bailey or his crew, it Is Inferred that
tho fishes took what there was left of
them after tho waves had done their
work. From that date the term "Bail
ey's Mistake" was attached to this
reach of water and the land on both
sides of it, and now the coast survey
charts have recognized tho claims, so
that Balle.v's Mistake has become a
geographical fixture.
LETTKItS THAT KILLED.
Notable Instances In Political Ills
tory of M Intakes by Ready Writers.
From tho Globe-Democrat.
"Killed by a Letter" is tho signifi
cant hendlng of a Havana newspaper
over an artlclo telling of ex-Mlnlster
do Lome's fall. This legend would bo
an appropriate cpltnph over the politi
cal graves of many public men. Tho
rivalry between Hamilton, the leader
do facto of the Federalist party, and
Adnms, the leader de jure, Incited
Hamilton's letter during the campaign
of 1800, arraigning Adnms, which was
one of the causes 'of the rupture and
overthrow of that party and the trl-
umph of Jefferson and the Democracy."
Hamilton's letters attacking Burr were
the cause of the duel In which Hamil
ton lost his life. Jefferson's letter to
his old neighbor, Mazzel, In 1796, in
which, by pretty plain implication, he
traduced Washington nnd other men
whom the American people honored,
kept Jefferson denying and explaining
for many years, his historic letter to
Vnn Buren on this subject having been
written shortly before his death and
twenty-eight years after the Mazzel
epistle was penned. The preservation
and publication of Jefferson's "Anns,"
or diary, which Is really a sort of let
ter to posterity, with Its spiteful as
saults on the memory of Hamilton and
other eminent men, showed an amaz
ing lack of discernment on Jefferson's
part, and hns called out from all his
editors and biographers excuses which
accuse.
"Never write a letter," said Talley
rand, "nnd never burn one that you
receive." If .Nicholas Biddle had ob
served the first part of this Injunction
the fate of the United States bank,
over which he presided, would proli
ably have been different, Jackson
would not have been able to perform
that second labor of Hercules In slay
ing the bank "hydra," and the politics
of the 30s would have lost one of Its
most picturesque episodes. An Inter
esting and usually level-headed person,
age, Biddle had what Juvenal called
an "Incurable Itch for writing," nnd
this led him nnd his Institution to their
doom, defeated Clay and the National
Republican party In 1S32, and, ns one
of the consequences of tho bank's over
throw, brought on the panic of 1837.
The "Rhea letter" " precipitated the
contest in 1830 between Jackson and
Calhoun which put Calhoun out of the
line of succession to Jackson In the
presidency, made Van Buren Jackson's
political heir, dwarfed Calhoun from
a national to a local llgure, nnd turned
him to the partisan metaphysics out
of which were evolved nullification nnd
that morbid and wire-drawn political
philosophy In defence of slavery that
brought on the war which destroyed
slavery.
There is a line touch of poetic Irony
In the circumstance that Van Buren,
the man who said he would rather walk
forty miles to tell a person something
than to Intrust his thoughts to n let
ter, met his doom through the medium
of a letter. It was a letter, however,
which he was absolutely forced to
write, and It was called out in the
spring of 1844 by the necessity of de
claring himself on the burning issue of
Texas annexation. The letter, in which

OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN
MED
ICINE.
A Ilomarknbly Succcsful Remedy Tor
Dypopiln, Indication and Stom
ach Tronblet.
Dr. Wurth, in commenting on recent
discoveries In medicine, said: There
is. none which Is certain to bo bo valu
able and far-reaching in benefit ns
Stunrt's Dyspepsia Tablets, the new
stomach remedy; I say .far-reaching,
because people little realize how Im
portant a sound stomach and vigor
ous digestion Is to every man, woman
and child.
Indigestion Is the starting point of
consumption, heart disease, Brlght's
disease, diabetes, nervous prostrntlon,
liver troubles; why is this so? Simply
because every nerve, muscles and tis
sue in our bodies is created and nour
ished from the food we eat. If that
food is, by reason of a weak stomach,
compelled to lie for hours, a sour, fer
menting mass of half digested food, it
poisons tho blood and nervous system,
creates gas which distends the stomach
and bowels, causing pressure on tho
heart, lungs and other organs nnd seri
ously impeding their notion.
He snys further, the point to direct
attention Is not the nerves, nor heart,
nor lungs nor kidneys, but the stomach,
the first cause of all tho mischief.
The remedy to use for indigestion
and weak stomachs is not some ca
thartic, but a remedy which will digest
the food, Increase the flow of gastric
juice, absorb the gnses, and Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will accomplish ex
actly this result in nny case of stomach
trouble, because these tablets are com
posed of the digestive Holds, aseptic
pepsin, Golden Seal and Bismuth, pleas
ant to taste, and not being a patent
medicine, can be used by anyone with
perfect safety. I believe Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets will cure any form of
Indigestion nnd stomnch trouble ex
cept cancer of stomach.
Full size packages of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets are sold by druggists
at 50 cents. A book on stomnch dis
eases, together with thousands of tes
timonials, will be sent by nddresslng

nexationist. Everybody remembers the
wreck which letter writing Inflicted on
Blaine's fortunes by defeat In the con
ventions of 1876 and 1880 and at tho
polls In 188). His fatal readiness with
his pen brriught nn Iliad of woes to
Cluy. "I am the most unfortunate man
In American history," exclaimed Clay
after one of his reverses to Henry A.
Wise. "I get the nomination In the
years when no Whig can be elected,
and In the year when any Whig can
win the candidacy goes to somebody
else." In the yenr, however. In which
his success seemed certain, 1814, he was
defeated by his campaign letters on
the Texas question. "We are beaten,"
exclaimed Joshua R. Glddtngs to Cas
slus M. Clay, ns somebody put Into his
hand a paper containing one of Clay's
letters, just before both of them mount
ed the stand at a Clay mass meeting
at which they were to speak. He wns
right. Tho letter, which made a sur
render on the slavery question, sent
enough antl-slnvery Whigs over to
Blrney, the Liberty party's candidate,
In tho decisive state of New York to
give that state and the presidency to
Polk. "The chief qualification which I
shall require of a Whig presidential
candidate hereafter," said Meredith P.
Gentry n few days after Clay's defeat,
"Is that he shall be able to neither
read nor write."
