The stock is valued at about $50,000 and

the amount destroyed by fire is more than equalled by that destroyed by water which was poured in the top fiat for near- ly two hours, and by smoke which flllcd the entire building. The loss is roughly estimated at two thirds and there is $30,000 insurance.

By the Schooner Thetis, Capt. Cain, of Summerside.

Loursnunu, N. S., Dec. 8.-The small

schooner Matilda, of St. Peters, which drove to sen from :Bras d`Or the Zilth of November, was towed into this port to- day by thc schooner Thetis, Captain Cain. The Thetis took the vessel in tow on Thursday live milcs cast, south cast from St. Esprit. The vessel had no anchors,chain.~I or sIIiis,exCept the foresail. 'l‘lIe rudder, boat, provisions and wat- er were all gone, ami the captain was trying to work the vessel to the laIId` when picked up by thc Thetis. The captain intended bcaching the vessel wherever he could strike the coast* with the great possibility of nil beingl drowned. Captain Mcl)onald and his two sons, ccrnprising the crew of thc; Matilda are vcry grateful for having been

Sr. JOHN, N. B.. Dec. 8.-Dr. E. A. Pres-’

ton is now charged with murder, and his

malpractice case here, began today, and will be continued tomorrow. Nothing has yet been done in the case of Howard D. Camp, who is still held on suspicion of counselling an abortion.

The charge of murder against Dr. Pres-

ton caused something of a sensation, as it surprised the average day man. Dr. Pres- ton has been held on just sufficient cvl- dence to place him under preliminary examination. It is understood that the reasons for the charge of murder are that the verdict 'of Coroner Berryman’s jury is looked upon as directly meaning murder, and only in cases of homicide is a dying decla- ration admlssable, and it is desired to get in evidence si statement made by the girl Edith Clark, whom, it is charged, ;Preston illegally operated upon.

Grip Quickly Knocked Out-

“Some weeks ago during the sever

'winter weather both my wife and myse Icontracted severe colds which speedily developed into the worst kind of la. grippe with all its miserable symptoms," says Mr. J. S. Egleston of Maple Landing, Iowa. “Knees and joints aching, muscles sore, head stopped up, eyes and nose running, with alternate spells of chills and fever. We began using Ghamberlaiirs Cough Remedy, aiding the same with a dose of Chamberlaln’s Stomach and Liver Tablets, and by its liberal use soon com- pletely knocked out thc grip."

They pro- I mote a healthy action of the bowels, liver and kidneys which is always beneficial when the system is congested by a. cold or attack of the grip, For sale by all dru ‘glsts.

NEW Yonx, Dec. 7-“Graft seems to b the watohword ln every line of llfe,” said John Rockefeller, Jr., at the ninth annual dinner of the Young Mea's Bible Class, attended by about 250 members, and their friends, at the Hotel Vendome last night. -

"I suppose," he continued, "that of

every two men who go into politics, one goes, not for what he can do for his fel- low man, but for what he can get out of politics. Yes, I should say that four out of every five, perhaps nine out of every? ten, go into politics for what they can get out of it for themselves.

“In this life of today, so full of struggle

and contest, in the etl`ort to get ahead, to gain wealth, power, influence or position, the watchword seems to be, gain it hon- estlylf you can, but gain it at any cost. No quality should receive such careful consider ation and cultivation among young men as moral courage. For, unless the young men exhibit this courage, this great- republic is doomed to the end of civilization gone before."

Mr. Rockefeller said his class would not be broken up, but he hoped another leader would be chosen.
