Notre Dame Science Hall Burned.

South Bend, September 13. Science hall at Notre Dame university was ruined by fire this afternoon, the damage to the building being estimated at SIO,OOO-. it is impossible to estimate the loss on fixtures, chemicals and glass apparatus because they can not be replaced at this time on account of the European war. I The fire originated on the second floor in a quantity of phosphorous at 12:30 o’clock. The blaze was apparently extinguished and classes were resumed on the first floor during the afternoon. i At 4 o’clock students again discovered that the laboratories on the second floor were in flames. The i South Bend fire department was . called and played ten streams of ! water on the building. j One company remained on duty throughout the night for fear the scattered phosphorous would again cause trouble. Fowler has been expeiiencing a Water famine for the past two weeks. ' Some ascribe -{he trouble I to' the drought, saying the . wells are going dry, while those in charge of j the city’s affairs I claim the water plant’s pumping facilities are inadequate to supply the demand. Editor Kitt of the Tribune laments the necessity of foregoing his regular bath. ;

Mt. Ayr is preparing for a large crowd at their home-coming and stock show on September 22 and 23. An advertising parade will visit nearby towns next Wednesday. Fire destroyed the parsonage belonging to the Church of God at Idaville Wednesday, with a loss of about $2,500. The pastor and family were away from home at the time. The Monon Railroad company has let the contract for a new SIB,OOO freight depot at Lafayette. The structure is to be 261 feet long facing Second street, 30 feet wide on Ferry and 87 feet in the rear. Dr. J. N. Hurty of Indianapolis, secretary of the state board of health, will deliver a lecture at Morocco October 18. His visit is the result of a clean-up campaign inaugurated by the Woman’s club and W. C. T. U. of that city.

Wilbur Nolin, deputy prosecuting attorney, and Raymond Hamilton, deputy sheriff of Benton county, returned Tuesday evening with Boyd Slater, who is charging with burglarizing the Messner & Son’s store at Oxford, taking $2,500 worth of merchandise, consisting chiefly of silks.

Medaryville’s second annual Chautauqua has recently closed. The satisfaction resulting from its brilliant success is being expressed upon every hand. It is a matter of great local pride that the community has been able to conduct, with splendid financial success, two successive Chautauqua’s, while many of the neighboring towns have met with adversity in the conduct of their chautauquas. - Medaryville Journal.

Growing out of the contention among the stockholders for control of the Gadwallader Telephone company, which owns all of the telephone systems in Warren county except that at Pine Village, a suit was filed in the circuit court at Williamsport Saturday charging the president and general manager, Ira Gadwallader, with misappropriation of funds of the corporation and asking that a receiver be appointed to take charge of the business until an accounting can be had.

i A report that the safe of Fred j Wittenberg, the well known Boone J Grove merchant, had been broken open recently and a quantity of po- ■ tatoes stolen found ready acceptj ance, but we understand Mr. Wittenberg declines either to confirm ;or deny the story. What particulars have come to light indicate that the unfortunate man drew his balance from a Valparaiso bank and bought the potatoes, which he placed in the safe. It is thought he incautiously referred tp his hoard in the hearing of some desperate characters. While the loss will not cripple him financially, it is a serious blow.—Hebron News.

ST. PAUL A PRISONER IN THE CASTLE

Acts t2:B29.—Sept. tl. Preaching the Gospel of Christ—The Mob Again Enraged—Colonel Lysias In Perplexity Orders the Roman Soldiers to Beat St. Paul—Thereupon the Apostle Declares His Citizenship. Lessons From His Experiences. “Be is m) Refuge and my Fortress; my God, in whom I trust.’’—Psalm 91:2. *7l T E might have supposed that £ S I the beating which St. Paul received from the mob, together with the rough treatment which he had. undergone In getting to the castle door, would have cowed the Apostle. But on the contrary, he calmly asked the commandant to grant him the privilege of speaking to the people. Doubtless he intimated that they had misunderstood what he was doing, and that a fewwords from him might pacify them. The Roman officer was astonished; for the Apostle spoke Greek fluently.

He had thought that St. Paul was “that Egyptian,” mentioned by Josephus, who bad a short time before gathered a large body of discontented Jews, to whom he had represented himself as Messiah and who, as his followers, had given the Roman

authorities considerable trouble. St. Paul answered that he was a jew of an honorable city, and again asked the privilege of speaking to the people. His request was granted. Then St. Paul stood on the stairs "and motioned silence, in order to address the mob. Doubtless he considered his thrilling experiences well compensated for by the privilege of telling a large concourse of his countrymen about Jesus. Promptly he preached Christ—that Jesus of Nazareth was the promised Messiah, that His sacrificial death constituted the Redemption Sacrifice for Adam’s forfeited life and, incidentally, for all of Adam’s children, who died under his death sentence. Surely also he declared that Messiah was calling a spiritual class to be His associates in His Millennial Kingdom, and that shortly Israel and all the nations would experience the blessings of that Kingdom. Then he proceeded to tell about his missionary tours. He declared that many of the Gentiles were gladly receiving this Message and giving their hearts to the Lord in full consecration. SL Paul’s Defense.

But so strong was the Jewish prejudice that the mere mention of the fact that this great blessing was going upon equal terms to the Gentiles rekindled the flame of hatred and violence; and their shouts and jeers rent the air. Perplexed at the situation, the Roman commandant concluded that where there was so much opposition there must be some cause for it. Thereupon he gave orders that the Apostle be whipped until he confessed what he had done to create such a tumult At once the command began to be carried out by the soldiers, who proceeded to tie St. Paul to the whippingpost. But the Apostle brought the proceedings to a quick termination by inquiring of a centurion who stood by, “Is it Idwful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman and uncondemned?" When the centurion heard the question, he reported it to the colonel, who came and questioned the Apostle. He took St Paul's word for it that he was a Roman citizen; for to have made an untruthful claim to citizenship would have meant death, as soon as the matter had been investigated. The Apostle was held a prisoner for trial. Lessons From St. Paul's Experience. St. Paul was suffering as a Christian —because of loyalty to the Lord and His Word. He was not suffering because of following the admonitions of the brethren in going into the Temple;

“Is it Lawful?”

slon toward the Apostle Paul and his work amongst the Gentiles probably brought the matter of his arrest more quickly to the front than any other course would have done. The Apostle was not ashamed of his sufferings; for he realized that they were endured for Christ’s sake. One should feel deeply pained at a public arrest and imprisonment as a violator of the law. But when these things are experienced because of faithfulness to the Lord, following l in His footsteps, such may well rejoice in the ignominy, rejoice in what otherwise would be shameful and detestable. Let them glorify God on this behalf, rejoicing that they are accounted worthy to suffer for the name of Christ, and remembering that thus also wai it with our Lord Jesus Himself. He was placed under arrest: He was bound; He was scourged: He was publicly insulted: He was even crucified as a blasphemer against God. Let every instance of religious bigotry and fanatical violence speak to our hearts a lesson in the opposite direction.

St. Paul's Defense.

for very evidently the hatred in the hearts of their enemies would sooner or later have manifested itself, and they would have sought the Apstle’s life, as on previous occasions. In this incident we see merely that the attempt to create a favorable impres-

I find it the best croup and cough m&dicine I have ever used and I have used it for eight or ten years, and can recommend it. for croup.
