FERTILIZER FACTORY BURNED Mr. J. F. Oarrell's Factory Destroyed About 7 O'clock Last Night Caught in Engine Room Was Insured. About 7 o'clock last night Mr. J. F. Garrell's fertilizer factory on Sans Soucs farm, just north of the city limits, was discovered to be on fire and despite every effort on the part of farm hands and others living in the vicinity, the building and contents were entirely destroyed. ; They suc ceeded, however, in preventing the spread of the flames to adjacent build ings. The night watchman says that thefire . started in the engine room but there is .no indication as to 'how 4t Started. The factory was in operation yester day, and the laborers knocked off and went to their homes for the night sometime after 6 o'clock, so that there was no one aboat the premises when the fire started, except the night watchman," by whom the fire was dis covered. No alarm was sent in, as the factory was beyond the reach of the Wilmington Fire Department. The loss will amount, probably to $3,000, largely covered by insurance. However, the amount of insurance conld not be ascertained last night. A part of the insurance was placed with companr represented by Messrs. J. H. Boat wright & Son. j la Police Circles.

' Mr, Will' sras had erected a temporary platform to be used in overhauling the jack-screws ready for use next season and had several screws leaning against it, when the platform gave way and one of the screws, in falling, caught him underneath.

On "The Philippines" -by Mr. Prank R Robeson In the Y. M. C. A. Audi- torium Last Night. Quite a large audience assembled in the YM-i C. A. auditorium last night and were' delightfully . entertained by Mr. Frank R. Robeson, who delivered an entertaining lecture on "The Phil ippines," illustrated with sterioptican views. The entertainment ' was the last of the series of six given this season under the joint auspices of the Wilmington Lyceum and the Y. M. C. A. Star Course and it is safe to say that last night's attraction was one of the most enjoyable and withal instructive of the season. j , Mr. Robeson's lecture was based upon personal observation and ex periences while touring the Philip pines., And the views were especially good, comprising first of all a number of landscape views of this country and then views in the Philippines together with very many of the principal Amer ican, Philippine and Spanish officials, intimately associated with the stirring events recently transpired in eastern' waters. . Mr. Robeson presented the Philippine's cause in an entirely new light, declaring that instead of their being a lot of savages, ; onethird of them are highly educated ; and sur rounded with luxuries of life, another third have received what would be termed in this country a grammar school education. - j He gave interior views of the late residences of leading Philipinos, which iadk . 1 ?A fha highest culture and taste in 1 rso i'J'-- . !

In the assembly room of the Wil mington High School, at 12:30 o'clock to morrow, there will be an interest ing debate between members of the Lambda Delta Literary Society of the High School and debaters from the Cape Fear Academy.

Miss JanieWilliams, presi dent of the Lambda Delta Society, will preside and the exercises will be under the joint auspices of all the High School societies The High School affirmative de baters will be Messrs. James Craft, Willie Corbett and Clayton Grant, and Messrs. Geo.. Catlett, Sam Potts and ; Holmes Davis will argue the negative for the Cape Fear Academy. The speeches will be limited to fifteen minutes, with five-minute rejoinders. Parents and friends of pupils of both the High School and the Cape Fear Academy are invited to attend the ex ercises. A Destitute Family. The city authorities were called upon yesterday to care for J. D- New ton, a paralytic, his wife .and five small children, who came here on a' forenoon train from Albany, Ga., and were unable to proceed further on ac count of lack of money. They are all being cared for at police headquarters, and will be given tickets and sent to Goldsboro on the train this morning, from which place they hope to secure a contribution sufficient to take them to Wilson, N. C, where, it is under stood, they have relatives. They, however, expressed a willingness to stay in Wilmington, but being advised that there was no work for them here, they consented to proceed to Wilson. Sergeant' of Police Orrell, who is nothing unless" charitably inclined, started a subscription and provided them with food while here. Dr. Archer Goes to Havana. Dr J. F. Archer, post surereon at Fort Caswell, will go to Havana in stead of to Manila, his orders to accom pany Battery C, Sixth artillery, to Manila having been countermanded. The order for him to go to Havana was received very recently and re quires that he go just as. soon as his successor as post surgeon to Battery C arrives, which will be within the next we.ek. Dr. Archer did service in the yellew fever camps at Santiago last Summer and it is because of this ex perience that he is now ordered to re turn to Cuba. He spent yesterday in the city making preliminary arrange ments for his departure. Pythianism in North Carolina.

IS IT MALARIA OR ALUM? Popular Science Monthly. Languor, loss of appetite, indiges tion and often feverishness are the common symptoms of a physiological condition termed "malaria." All these symptoms may be and frequently are the effect of the use of alum baking powders in food making. There is no question about the poisonous effect of alum upon the system. It obstructs digestion, prostrates the nerves, coagu lates and devitalizes the blood. All this has been made clear, thanks to physicians, boards of health, and food commissions. So "highly injurious to the health of the community" does the eminent head of the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Barker, "consider the alum baking powders, that he says "their sale should be prohibited bv law." ! Under these circumstances it is worth the while of very house-wife to em ploy the very little care that is neces sary to keep so dangerous an element from the food of her family. A pure cream of tartar baking pow der, which is the only kind that should be used, ought to cost about 45 cents to 5U cents a pound. Therefore, it you are paying much, less, something is wrong ; if you are paying 25 "cents or less per pound, the powder is certainly znaae irom aium. ; , . Always bear these simple facts in mind when purchasing baking pow der. ' i . . ' 1 Their Labors Appreciated. Yesterday Secretary P. Heinsberger, Of . the Merchants' Association, ad dressed letters to Representatives Geo Rountree: , and M. B. Willard and State Senator Davis,; thanking V them for their able and faithful service, rend ered during the recent session of the Legislature, for the enactment of laws Advocated by the Association. The letters were- in "compliance with.;. a resolution , passed .by Uie, .Board . o Directors at their last meeting. 1 WATER AND LIGHTS. Municipal Ownership ' of Plants for Both Discussed in Raleigh.
