TSfsi5aojp Xq pios "emu ni ri ii tit t u lit it m i t Hi iii i in AND THf (fAT f Hi HN the great Chicago fire of 1871 the dally newspaper buildings burned were those occupied by the Tribune, Times, Journal, Republican, Staats Zei tung and Post, Mall and Union and the Yolks Zeitung. In addition to these tnere were nineteen foreign weekly pa pers, fifteen juvenile publications, two agricultural journals, eighteen religious papers, eighteen monthly magazines, twenty-two business periodicals, and twenty-eight miscellaneous publica tions, making in all 128 publications left wituout a home by the fire. By Wednesday morning the daily pa pers were out with Issues that sounded like tocsins to call every man In Chi cago to bis duty. At 3 o'clock Monday afternoon, while 15,000 buildings were burning throughout eight wards of the city, when the business center of Chi cago was 'swept away, while the terror stricken people were shrinking along the margin of the lake, or swarmed far out on the desolate prairies, the Even ing Journal, true to the spirit of Chi cago journalism, came out with a small extra, containing quite a clear but very brief account of the fire. The page is 8x10 inches, three columns wide. Three quarters of a column is devoted to the "scare head," another half to the ad vertisement of the Board of Trade, and the remainder of the space to the fire. It is headed "The Great Calamity of the Age." Some printers on the. Evening Post rallied at a job printing office on the West Side and got out a Post for the emergency. The Tribune resumed on Wednesday, the Mail Thursday, the Republican Sunday, and the Times Oct. 18. The files of the Chicago Evening Journal were rescued by Mr. Frank Gil bert, then associate editor of that pa per. Being the oldest newspaper In the city, its files go back further, and are more valuable than any other. Mr. Gilbert says: '.'Hurrying to the Jour nal office the first thing attempted was to close the iron shutters. The build ing stood on Dearborn street, directly opposite the Tremont House. 'Could those iron shutters In the rear and on the side alley be closed, the building might be saved,' I reasoned. But they haa not been shut for years, and the hinges of some broke off and let the shutters down. Seeing the futility of trying to save the building, I set about saving the office books and files. The first thing was to go to such open-all-night places near by as were likely to have any of the printers that I knew, and I knew every jovial compositor in those days. We soon rallied quite a force, from six to ten, I should say. Across the street was a livery stable. We went over there and helped our selves to buggies and a crowbar. To take out the office books and papera not In the safe and then roll the safe to the sidewalk was a short job. The next thing was to bring down the files. By that time the fire lighted the editorial room, back of which the files were kept, and we' had no trouble In finding our way, but it took a good while to get them all down. My orders were to pile them Into buggies and take them on the North Side. "I was the last to leave the building, so as to be sure that every file was taken, and started north with the last buggy. By the time we reached the Rush street bridge I saw that it was a mistake to go north, or, rather, I met a friend, Frank Boutwell. He was just crossing from the North Side, and with an enthusiasm which carried convic tion, declared that the whole North Side was going to h 1. We wheeled about and went up Michigan avenue. Mr. Charles L. Wilson, editor and pro prietor of the Journal, lived just above 12th street, on Michigan, and that last batch of files was soon In his personal custody. Those who went north cross ed west on Chicago avenue, and then by a long detour got to 18th street bridge, thence to Michigan, and finally to Mr. Wilson's residence. "When the storm struck ' the offices of the newspapers that night, they were busy hives. The city editor and his re porters rose to the emergency. Super numerary reporters were called In and given orders in quick, nervous tones, They sped away and reaped a harvest of horrors much more quickly than they could bind them for the garnering of the editor. That garnering never hap pened in the Times office, for the force was driven away by the flames before the grand report was commenced. At the Tribune It was otherwise. That paper rejoiced in a 'fire-proof building, and Sam Medil, city editor, was deter mined to have a seven-column descrip tion of the grand fire in the morning whether there was any town left to read it or not. So he mapped out the 'magnum opus' of the year. One after another of the reporters came in with out the usual jocularity, took their' places in the local room In the top story and commenced their desperate ;- . -zlL-t ; g5 lllf " "Jsg M RUINS OF THE TBIBUNE BUILDIXo'.' i hM i t mair ft task. One or two were set to watch from the roof the progress of the de vastation. Walls were toppling around them, flames mounting above them, the ground shaking like an earthquake be neath them, the red fire glaring in at the windows and crackling, hissiug and roaring In their ears, but still they wrote on. The buildings at the north across the street were all mowed down like grass, and still they wrote on. The 'fire-proof post office went, and still they wrote on. The limit was reached at last of time, not of matter and' the brave compositors had placed the record in type by the light of the In candescent atmosphere, for the gas had ceased to flow through the jets. In that lurid light, and in the two-fold heat of the fire, without the building and the fire within their own breasts, these artisans completed their last 'take' and consigned their 'turtles' to the pressmen far below. These fel lows alone proved unequal to the emer gency; and pleading a lack of water for steam to run their engines (which may have been true), they fled, leaving the forms upon the large press, and the candles, suddenly obtained, glim mered uselessly." When John Law Boomed It. A milliner happened to come to Paris about a lawsuit. She was successful and invested the proceeds in specula tion, and she amassed in a few months a sum which, converted Into our cur rency, represents nearly 5,000,000. No class of the community escaped the In fection. Two of the ablest scholars in France are reported to have deplored the madness of the times at one inter view, only to find themselves at their next meeting bidding for shares with the greatest excitement. The scene of operations was a narrow street called Quincampoix, and the demand for ac commodation may be judged from the fact that a house which before yielded about 40 a year now brought in more than 800 a month. A cobbler made about 10 a day by letting out a few" chairs In his stall, and a hunchback, who is celebrated In the prints of the time, acquired in a few days more than 7,000 by letting out his bump to the street brokers as a writing desk. From Prof. Nicholson's Money and Monetary Problems. Soldi, r Boys and Miss Cuba Libre. The chief charm of the Cuban beau ties is their soft, expressionless eyes, and one young officer who had caught only one glimpse of a pair of these eyes at a reception made every effort to have the demurely downcast lids raised, but he could speak no language she understood. In desperation be gave up his faltering efforts, and looking at her roguishly, said, with much emo tion, "Eny meny, miny, mo; cracky, feeny, flney, fo; opper, hoocher, popper, toocha; rick, bick, ban do," and found that succes had crowned this effort, for the senorita's eyes were fastened upon him, and he heard a ripple of laughter from behind her fan, showing that she appreciated that there was something soul-stirring in bis "poetry," and begged him to tell It again to one of her friends who knew a little Eng lish and would translate It for her. He was staggered for a moment, then told the English-speaking friend that he had been talking Greek. "But tell me what It was," she persisted. So he gravely recited "Maid of Athens, ere we part," etc., explaining that the last line, "Zoe ," was Greek. "No mat ter," said the friendly maiden, "she will like all of It so very much." Wom an's Home Companion. Lios Angeles' Sewage. Although Los Angeles has a sea out let for its sewers, its method of dis posing of sewage may be suggestive to inland communities troubled with the sewerage problem. The California city sells its sewage, getting a respec table income thereby. At present it is furnishing fertility to 4,000 acres at an annual profit of about $4,500. The "lay" of the land facilitates this dis posal of sewage, as It can all be dis tributed by gravity, and three times the area now supplied can be Irrigated as the supply of sewage Increases with the city's growth. Results have demon strated that the fertilizing material in the sewage Is an Important item. Ex hausted grounds thus treated product bounteous crops yearly, and the farm ers having Irrigation contracts with the city have no fear of droughts. The soil seems to gain more from the sew age than is taken from It In the crops, and there Is no need of following the rules of rotation in planting. New York Evening Post.

The death in Brooklyn, recently, of Rex. Dr. Richard Salter Storrs, pastor of the Church of the Pilgrims, has re moved one of the leading Congrega tional divines of the country. He was the third clergyman in his family to bear that distinguished name, and the fourth clergyman In his family In direct line. Dr. Storrs was born In Bralntree, Mass., In 1821, and studied law for a time In the office of Rufus Choate. He then took up the study of theology, graduating from Andover Theological Seminary In 1845. For a year he was pastor of the Harvard Congregational Church of Brookline, Mass., and then was called to Brooklyn, where he guid ed the destinies of the Pilgrim Church until November, 1899, when he re signed. When Dr. Storrs went to Brooklyn, ha REV. DR. RICHARD S. STORRS. 1846, the population of the city was pnly 60,000; now It Is over 1,000,000. The church over which he was called to preside became the parent of nine teen other churches of that denomina tion In that city and among them was Plymouth Church, Inseparably asso ciated with the name of Henry Ward Beecher. Dr. Storrs was a great worker and was oeeply interested in Brooklyn. The public library there and the Long Isl and Society are mainly due to him. He was one of the founders of the Inde pendent and one of the editors from 1848 to 1861. During the civil war he was an ardent supporter of the Union and was one of those sent by the gov ernment to raise the flag over Fort Sumter at the close of the war. His lectures and writings made him well known at home and abroad. Of his works the Divine Origin of Christianity Is considered the best. "Red Blood and Blue," by Harrison Robertson, Is a story of the South, deal ing with love and rivalry. "A Soul In Bronze," by Miss Goddard Du Bois, has for Its keynote the nobil ity of the North American Indian. An illustrated story of the time of Maimonides is called "Under the Eagle's Wing," and is by Sara Miller. "The Princess Sophia" Is a new novel by E. F. Benson, of "Dodo" fame. Har per & Brothers' will be the publishers. "The Enchanter," a first book by Miss Una L. Silberrad, Is said to be "a remarkable book by a remarkable woman." Henry W. Stratton, author of a little book of verses called "Sparks and Flames," is also an inventor of much ability. Although blind, he manufac tured and put on the market the build ing blocks constructed on the tongue and groove principle, and which bear his name. He has also invented other unique toys; but there are probably more sets of his building blocks sold at holiday times than of any other make. "I had the privilege of Intimate fel lowship with Robert Barr at one time, i. e., he was the stately edlor and I was the meek and lowly sub. When he was feeling just right he would tell me dozens of plots for stories and prompt ly forget all about them. I always jot ted them down and in a few days told them to him as original. 'If you don't mind I think I could make something out of that,' he would say. 'You're a wonderful chap for plots.' Then, of course, I owned up and gave him his property. There was one story about a man who personated an African ex plorer and got on swimmingly until he met the real Simon Pure's sweetheart. That seemed to us both full of dra matic possibilities, but I fancy that it is still unwritten. Andrew Lang is just as fertile In the subject of plots as Robert Barr. He once wrote a paper for the Idler, presenting young authors with at least a dozen plots for stories. There Is nothing so delightful as the Idea for a new story. Where the drudgery comes in Is the elaboration of detail and careful balancing of sen tences, the knowing what to Insert and what to leave out the cabinet-making and joinery, In short. Inspiration Is ail very well, but sometimes it isn't strict ly grammatical. Twelve Cents for a Coarse Dinner.

SWOR1V STATEMENT ABOUT WOOD PBESBH VATIVE. Fence Pot Impregnated With ven rlns Csrbollneana Hndarea Twaav s r Years and Still sound, i In an ace when wild, exaggerated state ments of the efficiency of all kinds of articles, rrom patent medicines to patent plowshares, nil the columns of the press, ( for advertising- purposes only, It Is pleas Um to write about a household specific I whose usefulness has been proved beyond I the power of detractors to injure or Imi tators to compete with. Such Is Avenarlus Carbollneum. the celebrated German wood preservative of the 19th century, whose fame Is destined to outlast the 20th. It Is not only the greatest preparation known for arresting the decay of any kind of woodwork, above or below ground, from the ravages of climate, fungus or vermin, but it may be truthfully described as the only preserva tive whose utility has been practically tea-ted and not found wanting. Since the discovery of Avenarlus Carbollneum near ly thirty years ago, it has been constantly employed foi the treatment of wood us-..! In ships, bridges, pavements, ties, tele graph poles, fence posts, house supports and hundreds of other constructions, and In not a single case out of thousands haa it failed to render articles Impregnated immune against rot and decay, whether the attacking enemies were climate, soli, fresh or salt water, teredoes, ants, boring worms or other hostllea, singly or In com bination, when properly applied. The value of such a specific on a farm, where almost ail the constructive work, from houses and barns to vine poles and fence posts, Is chiefly or entirely wood, cannot be overestimated. No farmer who appreciates practical economy can afford to do without it. As additional Incentives for the use of Avenarlus Carbollneum it may be stated that the preparation is in expensive, and a few gallons go a long way, while application la as easy and sim ple as that of common house paint. A few strokes of the brush does the work, and the article treated is insured against decay and death. Aa an illustration of the efficiency of Avenarlus Carbollneum we publish the following photographic reproduction of two pieces of wood which stood side by aide partly in and partly out of the ground, together with a sworn statement concerning the same attached, as seen in the picture. Piece of board, perfectly sound, afte twenty years' exposure, on account of be ing impregnated with "Carbollneum avenarlus. Fence post, completely decayed, after five years' exposure, on account of not being treated with Carbollneum Aven arlus. Alx la Chapelle, January 12, 1899. We confirm that this piece of wood is a part of a fence board, which haa been exposed to the weather for nearly twenty years. This fence was impregnated with Carbollneum Avenarlus, and has always stood in very damp, mouldy ground (hu mus), around our warehouse. Not a sin gle piece of wood in this fence has de cayed during the time, as shown by above board, which stood partly In and partly"out of the ground. The fence post shown above was NO' impregnated with Carbollneum Avenari' and we placed It five years ago alongsi of the board, and removed both togethei in their above condition. SIEBENBCK & COTJMONT. The above testimonial was signed be fore the Royal Notary In Alx la Chapelle, and Messrs Slebeneck & Coumont ac knowledge it as their free and true act. The above is only one out of hundreds of Indorsements that Avenarlus Carbo llneum has received from leading engi neers, chemists, contractors, shipbuilders and others aU over the world. It is pub lished as an established truth, coming as it does from a country where affidavits are regarded aa sacred, and a breach of veracity Is regarded as a religious as well as a civil crime. f Japan Anxious. Japan is alarmed over the emigration oi many of her residents to this country who 1 are lured here by misrepresentation. This is 1 like the misrepresentation which delude I people into believing that any other med : ine is equal to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters 1 for stomach disorders. It will cure indi gestion, constipation and dyspepsia. Any article that is giown, whether oi the best or not, costs something, and the grower must receive at least the cost or he will suffer a loss. The larger the. Hifferennn hatwcuui the cost and the price received the greater the profit. It should be the object, therefore, to grow the best, rather than the aim for large yields, as the market may be over stocked with inferior goods, while a demand may exist for the best. An attractive-looking, delicious and simple dessert is made by lining a mould with lady fingers, sticking each one to the side of the dish with a little melted gelatine. The center is then filled with boiled custard flavored with black coffee and stiffened with a little gelatine. A cupful of whipped cream s tii red in just as the custard is poured into the mould is an improvement. An excellent plan to get two crops on the same land and at the same time, is to drop seeds of sweet corn in the same rows with the peas, placing the seeds of corn several inches apart, thinning to a foot apart after the plants are up. The corn will finish its main growth after the peas have ceased growing, though for taller kinds the corn serves as supports. Some notion of the coming deluge of books on the South African war may be had from the fact that an American publisher now in London was within a week of his arrival offered the Ameri can rights in 25 war books.

Farmers who planted trees 20 years ago now find that they then made good investments. It is claimed that cherry and hickory trees require bout 30 years before they are valuable for timber; maple trees 20 years and black walnut 15 years.
