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

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

that succes had crowned this effort,
for the senorita's eyes were fastened

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

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

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

REV. DR. RICHARD S. STORRS.
HI Death Removes a Leading; Congrc
Rational Divine.
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.

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

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.

Fence post, completely decayed, after

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'

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.

That Is the way many serious troubles
begin. The stomach gets a little out of
order, is neglected, and chronic dyspepsia
follows. The blood becomes a little im
pure, as occasional pimples testify, and in
time a long array of blood diseases attack
the system. It is safest to cure these trou
bles at once by thoroughly purifying the
blood with Hood's Sarsaparilla. It main
tains the health and cures disease.

The planting of waste land to trees
for timber is receiving more attention
than formerly. 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. A
black walnut tree said to attain from
12 to 15 inches in diameter in 15 years
from the seed. Nuts are also a source
of profit with some growers of timber. '

The land for late potatoes should be
: plowed deep and harrowed fine. The
! land should never bo allowed to form
I a crust before the plants are up. Run
; a harrow over the Held, both before
and after the potatoes are up. The
! seed may be planted about five inches
deep and given level culture instead of
i hilling. Clover sod land is excellent
1 for potatoes, and to avoid disease it is
best not to plant potatoes on the same
land twice in succession. Frequent
and shallow cultivation rather than
deep should be given.
Broom corn is scarce and high. The
main crop is grown in Illinois. The
brush is the salable portion, but some
! farmers also value the seed as an im
portant crop. The labor required for
broom com is about the same as for
corn.
