ALLIANCE CONVENTION CLOSES Over ?1,G00 Was Subsciibed for the Foreign Missions. The convention of the Christian Al liance closed last night. The meetings of the last day were largely attended, the laige tent proving too small to ac commodate the euJiences. The sermon of the mornlus was preached by Rev. James Lelshman after the quartette had saner "Plant My Keet on Higher Ground." "Higher Giound" was the kenct" of the sermon 'which was a spiritual ex position of the Hook of Joshua, l'lu tratlng Christian life and ntoerienco. Joshua, he said ieceled bis call to faith upon the death of Moss He walked In the way of faith as tl'f oik piepaied the way on dry ground across the Joulan oer dry ground. He conquered In the light of faith when Jericho's avails clashed at the ie-oundlng of the trumpet and the shouting of the people. The falluto of faith is seen at Al and tho secret of the defeat is found In th. sin of Aehan, which must be thoroughly Judged. The test of faith cam" later when the wily men of Gideon came to make a league with Israi 1. The mighty vlctoiles of filt'i are 'I lustrated by the conquest of the thirty one kings, who might reprsrt slant evils in the life of tho chJ'd of God. At last we see the possesion ! of faith, culumlnating with the occupation (f Tlmnath-senrah, the city of the sun. This is the higher ground of faith, looking at trials and conll'cts from nboe conquering In tho po.ver of tic Holy Sph It. who gives us God J vision and God's faith.

CIsar, ANIMALS AND BIRDS , PERISH IN A FIRE FOX'S STORE ON SPRUCE STREET VISITED DY FLAMES. Pain-Crazed Occupants of tho Burn ing Storeroom Create a Pandomon- ium of Noise With Their Barking, Whining and Screeching Some of tho Dogs and Monkey? nie Reucued Moio Dead Than Alive Hi emim Harry May Injured by Falling Glass Origin a Mystery. A fire, which biokc out In the store of Fox, the bird man, located In tho Jovvell building on Spruce street, near Penn avenue, Saturday night, wits at tended by particularly distressing fea tures, owing lo the Incineration of a number of dogs, monkeys, rabbits and birds, comprising the stock of Mr. Fpx. Not only this, but the flames at on time threatened to spread to the upper floors, where they would havo done serious damage. The blaze was discovered at about 11.45 by a bell boy from Hotel Jermyn, who was returning home from work. He noticed smoke coming up In vol umes from the basement An alarm was turned In fiom llox 22, at the cor ner of Wvomlng avenue and Spruce street. All the central city companies nnd the Columbian, from West Scrnn ton, and Centurjs, from South Scran ton, responded When the firemen arrived the base ment was a seething mass of flames and they were Just beginning to break through the floor of the bird store. A number of the firemen were stand ing near the front entrance, consider ing the advisability of making nn at tempt at reselling some of the animals Inside, when the entire front of the building Hew out. Tho glass fell In showers on the men. but fortunately Injured only one. This was Hariy May. of the Crystals, who received two bad gashes on the bead. He wns taken In the ambulnnce to the Lackawanna hospital A HABEL OF NOISE. By this time the smoke and flames had reached the store and an Inde- scilbable babel of various animal sounds arose Theie was the whining and barking of dogs, the peculiar chat ter or shrill cries of the monkeys and the screeching of tho birds Theie were two streams of water directed on the basement, under the bird store, one moie In the basement underneath the People's Credit store, which occupies the other side of the building, nnd two Into the bird store Itself. For a tlm" even these did not subdue tho flames and the outlook be gan to be serious. Through all this the miscellaneous chorus produced bv the unfortunate birds and animals Inside was kept up, gradually decreasing, however, as they succumbed one by one to the heat. The flames were gotten under control about 12.-10, but not until the stock and fixtures In the Fox store had been al most completely destroyed. As soon as tho flames subsided a little, several of the fire laddies made a dash for the store and brought out a number of the cases In which the animals were con fined. The birds were found to have all been suffocated, but three of the dogs weie discovered to be very much alive The f.imnu pair of monkevs which have caused so much amusement in the neighborhood, weie tiken out thor oughly soaked and ''ist birely ilhe They soon revived, however, as did also a few rabbits whbii were also rescued. It Is very remaikable that any of them should have been n'lve, when the tiemendrnni volum o smoke and flames which ploye.l through tho store room Is taken Into considera tion.
