[" Sherbrooke Daily Record.Established 1897 SHEEBKOOKE, QUE.MjNDAY, FEBRUARY 17,1913 ONE CENT KNOWLTON HOME IN MIS AS RESULT GF EARLY MORNING FIRE Fire Started in Furnace Room and Spread With Great Rapidity.Firemen Were Handicapped Through Fact That One of the Hydrants Was Frozen.Only Frameof Main Building Stands.Only Eight Children in Home, Large Band Expected This Week not Having Yet Sailed.Partially Covered by Insurance.Exact Loss is Not Yet Determined.Knowltoa, Feb.17.\u2014(Special)\u2014One of the most serious fires that has been experienced here broke out this morning in the Home for Boys and Girls.The result was that the building is now in ruins.It was about 9 o\u2019clock this morning when the fire was first observed, issuing from around the furnace room.The flames then had secured a good hold on the interior of the building.The firemen responded quickly, but when they arrived and attempted to turn the water on at one of the two hydrants in the vicinity it was found to be frozen.FLAMES SPREAD RAPIDLY.Realizing this serious handicap the firemen and others exerted themselves in an effort to get the flames under subjection, but without avail.Before the hydrant could he thawed so that a supply of water could be secured it was apparent that nothing could be done to save the building.The fire practically burned itself out in the main part of the building and only the framework stands.At 11.30, when this despatch was fyled, the fire was still burning in the w ngs, but it is believed to be under control there.\t.CONTENTS DESTROYED.An effort was made to save the furniture and other valuables, but tbe most of it was burned or ruined by smoke and water.Nearly all the | trunks were saved, and the members of the staff saved what money they had in their rooms.FEW CHILDREN IN HOME.There were only eight children in the home this morning and they were got out without any trouble.A large band of children was expected the end of this week, but, fortunately, word was received that they had not yet sailed for Canada.PARTIALLY INSURED.The home building is believed to be only partially covered by insurance, although to what amount could not he definitely ascertained this forenoon.THREE TIMES ATTACKED.This is the third time that the home has been attacked by fire, the last time being last summer, hut the loss this time is by far the greater.MUCH DAMAGE BY WATER Knowlton, Feb.17.\u2014(Special)\u2014 The fire was got under control about noon, but a detachment of the brigade has been left in case it should break out again.The furniture is completely ruined as well as a large quantity of clothing.NOTES.It is not known just what steps will be taken towards the rebuilding of the home.The firemen christened their new uniforms at the fire.It is believed that if one of the hydrants had not been frozen the fire could nt have secured such headway.UNEASY FEELING OVER THE SCOTT TRÂGE11Y London, Feb.17.\u2014With the sorrow felt throughout England at the death of Capt.Scott and his companions, there is mingled an uneasy feeling that the tragedy could have been avoided had somebody not blundered.Naturally enough, perhaps, this feeling has thus far found little or no public expression.England was stirred by the news which came at the beginning of the week as by no record of tragic adventure since the Franklin expedition in the middle of the last century.As the Spectator remarks : \u201cThere is a peculiar quality in the experiences of polar discoverers to excite compassion\u2014the fearful loneliness, the helplessness when disaster comes.The death of Scott and his companions brought a shock of personal grief into every home of the United Kingdom.He was the victim of a series of misfortunes which could not possibly have been provided against.Even a pessimist, trying to imagine all.the setbacks that might happen, would hardly have convinced himself that ill-luck would really dog the footsteps of the party with such relentlessness.\u201d It is only the reiteration of statements such as that quoted, and the very stress that is laid on the asser- tion that every possible precaution was taken that one comes to see that at the bottom of it all lurks some fear that this glorious, but tragic, page in the history of British polar explanation might have been made glorious without being tragic.Nobody for a moment doubts the glory of it.Scott, Wilson and Bowers undoubtedly died like heroes, and it is believed they probably could have saved their own lives but for their unwillingness to abandon Petty Officer Evans in the first instance, and later Capt.Oates.PRAISE ATKINSON.London, Feb.17.\u2014A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Christchurch, N.Z., says : \u201cAll the surviving members of Capt.Scott's expedition bitterly resent the suggestion that the dog driver, De-metri, and Cherry Garrard, who made the first relief journey toward the south, could have done any more than they did to save Scott and his comrades.\u201cAll express the highest admiration for the work of Dr.Atkinson, who knowingly took enormous risks.Commander Evans asserts that absolutely nothing regarding the expedition has been held back.\u201d FIERCE FIGHTING FOLLOWS SHORT ARMISTICE IN MEXICO CUT Washington, Feb.17.\u2014(Special) \u2014 Two private despatches from President Madero to personal friends in Washington, received to-day, simply said he \"expected definite results very soon.\u201d Senator Cullotn, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, after a short talk with President Taft at the White House, declared he was still opposed to intervention and that there was practically no sentiment for it in the Senate.REBELS CAPTURE TOWN.Brownsville, Texas, Feb.17.\u2014(Special)\u2014Without serious resistance, Ma-tamoras, a Mexican town across the Rio Grande from Brownsville, passed into the hands of the rebels at five o'clock this morning.This is the second Texas border town to ho occupied by the insurrec-tos since the Diaz revolt, the other being Nuevo' Laredo.MADERO WILL NOT RESIGN.Mexico City, Fob.17.\u2014Hostilities wore resumed with fierceness In the Mexican capital yesterday, after a M LOST IB AT ELJUAKE FI In Addition Three Others Were Very Seriously Injured FIRE STARTED IN KITCHEN OF HOTEL AND FIREMEN HAD TO WORK IN A BLIZZARD.Elk Lake, Ont., Feb.17.\u2014Another has been added to the lives lost in Saturday morning\u2019s fire at Elk Lake, when the Matahanick Hotel and several other buildings were destroyed.The complete list of dead is : William Wilkinson, caretaker.Robert Stovey.Ed.Edofee, prospector.J.Ecker.The injured are : Jos.Fletcher, Gowganda, burned on head and feet.Edward âlcClellan, Elk Lake, burned, feet frozen, condition critical.Jack Fraser, Elk Lake, hip fractured.The fire started about 3 o\u2019clock Saturday morning in the kitchen of the Matahanick Hotel and spread over a considerable distance before it was discovered.A blizzard was in progress and the wind fanned the flarros until the hotel was completely destroyed, and the Hudson Bay Company\u2019s store, J.R.Booth\u2019s office, the fire hall, the Gowganda Trading Company\u2019s store, Land & Jordan\u2019s, Wilson\u2019s barber shop and three other small stores are burned.The loss is $100,000.Owing to the high rates there but $40,000 insurance on all of buildings destroyed and $10,000 this was on the hotel.The fire made more severe by the blizzard and bitter cold, which those escaping iron» the hotel in their nightclothes were forced to endure.was the of was I Sherbrooke Residents Have Relatives in Mexico truce which lasted only a few hours.The armistice, signed at 2 o\u2019clock Sunday morning by the representatives of both sides, agreeing to suspend operations for twenty-four hours, was broken before noon.Soon the sound of heavy cannonading and the whirr of machine guns announced the return of the Federal troops to their positions in front of the arsenal.It appeared as if the words of Madero and Diaz might prove prophetic and that this time the battle would be to a finish.President Madero yesterday morn lag reiterated his refusal to comply with the suggestion of the senators that he resign.He declared that he was still able to dominate, and that, given time, he would crush the rebel | forces.General Diaz had not shown himself to he greatly in favor of the armistice, hut consented to it out of respect for the efforts of the Ameri-ean ambassador and the ministers of the powers to bring about a cessation of hostilities until the foreigners and other non-combatants, still within the zone of the fighting, could be (Continued on page 7) TELEGRAM ANNOUNCED THAT MRS.T.BURNS AND MISS JOHNSTON ARE SAFE.Much anxiety has been felt by the relatives in Sherbrooke (mother and sisters) of Miss Gertrude Johnston and Mrs.T.Burns, who are living at present in Mexico, but their fears were somewhat relieved Saturday by the receipt of a telegram from Mr.Burns, saying that he, his wife and child, who are at Orizaba, 100 miles from the capital, are safe, the disturbance not being in their vicinity.Miss Gertrude Johnston, however, who is superintendent of the Mexican Hospital in Mexico City, must have been in great danger during the shelling of the place, but happily escaped.The hospital is doing Red Cross work in caring for the wounded.It is hoped now that hostilities will cease.Mrs.Jack Morkill endeavored to send a reply to the message, asking to be kept advised of the state of affairs, but was told that no telegrams could be got through either by the G.N.W.or C.P.R.lines.LORD METHUEN IS Spoken of as the Next Governor-General of Canada DUKE OF CONNAUGHT MAY RESIGN OWING TO ILLNESS OF

Royal Highness, it is believed, will not return to Canada, As a soldier and administrator, Lord Methuen is known as one of England\u2019s most able and efficient men.His military career is one of the most varied as well as one of the most distinguished to he found in the Army List, and it is strange to note that while he has served a great lia rt of his life abroad he has seen no Indian

Greeks at Besika Bay, on the coast of Asia Minor, near the entrance to the Dardanelles.This report, however, is regarded as doubtful.It is given denial by the officers of the British warship

points at issue.Hakki Pasha, farmer grand vizier, has arrived in Lonoon.Secrecy is observed us to his mission, but there seems little reason to doubt that Turkey\u2019s military position is utterly hopeless and when the expected decisive battle is fought for the posses-idon of Kuredagh, in the Bulair district, a fresh attempt will be made to negotiate for peace.Meanwhile the publication of the reply of the Russian emperor confirming the strained situation between Austria and Russia, together with the impossibility of arranging the differences between Roumania and Bulgaria, causes renewed anxiety in the European capitals.A despatch to the Daily News from Constantinople declares that the grand vizier takes a despondent view of the situation.According to the correspondent, he is anxious

told of In story, Bulgarian soldiers march Into battle to the tune and tramp of a national hymn which has the power of stirring up a tremendous enthusiasm among them.It Is a simple tune, but one of the sort which has helped to make a great deal of history since the world began.Students of folk-song know little about Bulgarian music; the people in general know nothing.It is not long ago that a Prussian official charged with the duty of keeping all kinds of national music on tap for state functions in Berlin found himself at a loss for the national hymn of Bulgaria and some of its native music with which to show the customary courtesy to King (then Prince) Ferdinand.And when he succeeded in extricating himself from the dilemma at the eleventh hour he made the discovery that the royal representative of the Bulgare was but little Interested in the songs and tunes of his political children.Bulgaria\u2019s' national hymn was first sung in the Russian army in the war with Turkey.It was the tune to which the Shipka Pass was stemmed.It also has the kind of sentiment which fits it for the bayonet charges of which it Is said to have been the inspiration, but save that it came into use in the Russo-Turkish War we know nothing of its origin.It may have been created by a popular poet and musician; but it rings as if it had simply grown\u2014like the best of folksongs.Montenegro has a really stiff national air, \u201cOnward! Onword\u201d (Ohamo, ohamo, za opga oha), and Servia is as devoted to Us national hymn as are the Frenchmen to their \u201cMarseil-llase.\u201d It is a fine bit of poetry and music, and it words are worth reproducing; Servia, peaceful land of flow\u2019rs, Home of vines and leafy bow\u2019rs, Thou, the Danube's gentle daughter, Rise; prepare for slaughter! Foes are near! Will Servia cower?Rise, and strike for freedom\u2019s dower; Tho\u2019 no stately tow\u2019rs have we.Yet our land is fair and free! Servians, quit the plough and tether, One and all we\u2019ll fight together! Foes are near! Will Servia cower?Rise, and strike for freedom\u2019s dower! Free are Slav and Duna\u2019s waves, Shall then we be Turkish slaves?Like Stefan, so famed in story.We will lead to glory! Foes are near! Will Servia cower?Rise, and strike for freedom\u2019s dower! Balkan vales, Moravian land, Free shall be from tyrant\u2019s hand! Servians quit the plough and tether, One and all we'll fight together! Foes are near! Will Servia cower?Rise, and strike for freedom\u2019s dower!

the secretion of the adrena gland causes a rise in the blood prqs sure; the increased activity of th< thyroid gland causes an increased ac tivity of the tissues, and the produc tion of glycogen is a symptom tha the body is preparing fresh supplie: of energy, increased respiration is necessary to co-ordinate the supply o! oxygen with this manufacture; ever the sweat glands and dilated nostril! are playing their part.The digestivi organs cannot help,- they can only bin der; so the body does the best it car by shutting off the nervous current tc them and saving the vital force which they would consume.Thus, because fear first rose from Injury, its phenomena are due to a stimulation of all the organs that add to efficiency in self-preservation, and a stoppage of those which are non combatants.Fear takes many formt in civilized society, but nature has only one means of expressing it physically, and that does not alter.Instant Relief from Eczema You can stop that nwfiil itch from cc-zerao and other skin troubles in twa seconds.Seems too good to be true\u2014but it is true.and WB VOUCH FOR IT.Just n tow drops ot the simple, nool- 7oj eczowa, and too Itch stops insiant- Now,'\u2019 it ymi have- tried a great many tu«s for \u2022 eczema and have b»eu dlsup* pointed, do not make the mistake ot refusing to try this soothing wash.All ether druggists keep this D.D.D.PRESCRIPTION\u2014go to them it you can\u2019t come to us\u2014hut If you eomo to our store, we will give you the first, dollar bottle on our positive n hors\u2019 and Electrical Snpplie*.SHKKiiUOOKK.\u2022ft iltiiülil LU budget et News From Various Sections of Country.INVERNESS.Mr.and Mrs.Duncan Stewart, Lys-ter, with Mrs.Somerville Thursday.Mr.Allan Hill was called to Manchester, N.H., by the death of his brother, Robert, which occurred February 11th.The W.F.M.S.held their monthly meeting in the Sunday School, Friday afternoon with twelve in attendance.It wn* moved by Mrs.McCammon, secona d by Mrs.J.Little that the sewing ctings be resumed as in past years.Mrs.J.M.Miller kindly invited the Society to the Manse for the first sewing meeting on Friday, February 28th.It was decided to have a representation from the W.F.M.S.on the Church Missionary Committee recently formed, and Mrs.J.Little and Mrs.A.B.Somerville were appointed as members of that committee.Papers were read by Mrs.Little on \u201cChinese Women,\u201d and Mrs.Somerville, on the \u201cDeaconess Training Work.\u201d A ver^ pleasant party was given by Mr.and Mrs.E.J.Brouard Friday evening.About thirty of their friends were present.\u201cLost Heir\u201d and other games were en joyed by all, the party dispersing at a late hour.Dainty refreshments were served.Mrs.Alcide Ainsley and children,Sherbrooke, guests of Mr.and Mrs.Frank Ainsley.The Misses Doris and Elfrida Hebert, who have been very ill with la grippe, are now on the way to recovery.The Y.P.S.C.E.met Wednesday evening in the Methodist Church with the average attendance.The leader, Mr.W.H.Lambly, gave an Interesting talk on the subject \"Bulletins from the Temperance War.\" There was - business meeting at the close at which it was decided to have the social March 12th, the social committee to decide what form the social will take.The treasurer's report was very satisfactory.Mrs.Fred Watts spent n part of last week in Leeds with her mother, Mrs.John Bam, who is in very poor health.INVERNESS WEST.Mrs.Edward Mitchell and two children, of Thetford Mines, the past week with her parents.Mr.and Mrs.Onesime Fredette ;

valet has been with his Majesty for the past twelve years.His duties are to superintend the care of the Royal wardrobes, to attend on the.King in the Royal dressing-room and to take all instructions concerning the King\u2019s clothes which may be given him either directly by his Majesty or by one of the private secretaries.His Majesty\u2019s clothes are kept in a large room adjoining the dressing-room.The wails of the room are lined with wardrobes which are divided into two sections\u2014one section contains the King\u2019s uniforms, and the other his Majesty\u2019s ordinary morning, walking and evening suits of clothes.Overnight, the chief valet Is instructed regarding the uniforms, if any, and the suits of clothes which the King will require for wear the following day, and these are placed by the assistant valets in the Royal dressing-room.Before a suit or uniform is sent into the Royal dressing-room it is inspected by the chief valet, to see that it is properly brush-'ed, ironed and ready for wear.Makes Many Changes The King, it may be noted, never wears the same suit two days running.As a rule, his Majesty would not wear the same Suit oftener than once in the week, and when it had been worn about two douen times it would be put out of the Royal wardrobes.King George customarily rises at seven o\u2019clock, when he takes a cup of coffee, which the chief valet brings him directly the King enters his dressing-room.His Majesty then has his bath, which is always a cold one; whilst the King is in his bath-room, the chief valet puts the links and studs into his Majesty\u2019s shirt, puts out an assortment of ties on the dressing-table, and places the boots or shoes the King intends to wear on a mahogany boot-stand, and then retires.The King dresses himself without the aid of a valet, except when put-ing on a uniform, when the chief valet is generally in attendance.When the King travels, the chief valet superintends the packing of his Majesty\u2019s luggage, which is done by the assistant valets.A list of everything that is to be packed is made out by the chief valet, and on the arrival of the luggage at the King's destination the list is checked over by the chief valet, whilst the portmanteaus are being unpacked.The King\u2019s chief valet is a well-educated and very well-informed man.He is a first-rate linguist, speaking French, German and Italian in addition to his native tongue, perfectly.He has travelled all over the world with the King, and is known and held in high estem by all the great European monarchs, from whom he has received during their visits to England many tokens of their esteem.Ordinary New Clothes King George rarely or never tries on a suit of clothes, and seldom is seen by his tailors who have the honor of his Majesty\u2019s custom.When the King desires to order any new clothes he informs the chief valet of the fact,' who gets patterns for the King\u2019s inspection.When his Majesty has selected the pattens, the chief valet gives the order to the tailor, and the clothes, when ready for trying on, are fitted on a dummy figure of the King.The chief valet inspects the suit when it is fitted on the model, and gives the tailor all the necessary directions concerning it.A suit is generally fitted on the model three times.¦*\t\u2022 .k Boom on the' Clyde The leading Scotch industries are enjoying

Experience at Farnham LEFT HER BAGGAGE IN CARE OF WOMAN WHO BROKE OPEN THE VALISE AND DECAMPED.Sutton Junction, Feb.17.\u2014(Special) \u2014Mrs.R, Morgan had a very unpleasant experience while travelling to Granby to visit Mrs.N.A.Meyer.¦ When passing through Farnham, where they had a wait of some time, she and Mrs.W.R.Saflord, who was travelling with her, visited with a woman in the station for a Utili while and decided, to go out to call, and said to this woman would she look after their grips, as she was remaining.She readily answered \u201cYes\u201d and they went out.On returning the ladies found their grips all there, but the woman and a parcel of jewellery belonging to Mrs.Morgan had disappeared.On arriving at Granby the loss was discovered, and High Constable Boisvert was communicated with.When the ladies returned Friday the constable met them in Farnham, and much to their surprise there sat the woman ready for another victim.She was searched and some of the rings found on her person.She flung them on the floor and said that was all she had, but further search revealed everything except a valuable locket, which was found later.Mrs.Morgan remained over night in Farnham until Saturday, to identify her property and cause the woman to be put under arrest.The woman is a widow with a young child and resides in Farnham.CANADA MAKES OFFER OF $75,000 STEFANSSON WILL MAKE THE NORTHERN EXPEDITION UNDER BRITISH FLAG.Washington, Feb.17.\u2014The National Geographic Society and the American Museum of New York have jointly subscribed and offered $45,000 to Vilhjalmar Stefansson, the Arctic explorer, to defray the expenses of another expedition to the north polar regions, according to an announcement made by the National Geographic Society here.The Canadian Government also has made a tentative offer of $75,000 to Stefansson if he will make the expedition under the British flag.Gilbert H.Grosvenor of the National Geographic Society, declared that, as that organization was very anxious to have the explorations continued in the icy regions, it was perfectly willing to withdraw in favor of the more generous Canadian offer, provided the Canadian Government starts the explorer out this year.Mr.Grosvenor said that Stafansson is now in Ottawa going over the matter with the Canadian Government officials.Many Turned Out to the Skating Party at Coaticook ONE MAN MET WITH A SERIES OF MISFORTUNES, WHICH WERE BROUGHT ABOUT BY EXCITEMENT.Coaticook, Feb.17.\u2014(Special)\u2014The skating rink here was filled Friday night with a crowd which came for the double purpose of having a good time and helping the Library and Reading Room.Some of the skaters had not had on skates for over twenty years, but the old fellows didn\u2019t do so badly after all.True, it made ^Leir ankles ache and they had to stop often to rest, but they kept right side up most of the time.Most of them had borrowed skates for the occasion and they attribute any misfortunes to the fact that they had shoes which did not fit them (the shoes were always too large) and the skates were hockey skates and would not turn corners as those would they wore in the years gone by.The attendance of the Band made the event more pleasant and put new life into the tired skaters.Hot coffee also appealed to the crowd and found a ready sale.The receipts were nearly $30.OLD TIMER IN TROUBLE.One of the old timers was so excited over the affair that he got into much trouble.In great spirits he started off with his wife for the rink.\u2022The lock on the door of the house was a spring lock.It locked itself, but the owner did not take any key.He had the anticipated joy of skating'\u2019 in mind and that crowded out the thought that he would need a key to get into
