Special to Tin: Astoeiax.
Syiucuse, X. Y., July 33. A spe
cial to the Herald from Seneca Falls,
gives the following particulars of the
tiro there. Tho inevitable occurred
in the Pew building, against the erec
tion of which three years ago, such an
earnest protest was made. It ful
filled its mission a3 afire trap this
morning, and it is feared it has aLo
proved u death trap.
A few minutes after five o'clock this
mormug, the building directly oppo
site the Hoag house, on Falls street,
was discovered burning in Sutherland
&. Soutre's restaurant In a few min
utes the entire structure was on fire.
Had naught but the shell suffered,
there would I have boou trifling cause
for regret, but at 7 o'elook tho finest
commercial portion of the town is iu
ashes or in flames. The Pew build
ing is approachable from one side
only, and the atmosphere quickly be
came so hot that the firemen could
not endure it.
The splendid Phoenix block, involv
ing the electric light plant, electric
railway plant, post office, express
office, Reveille printing establishment,
Courier Sundersors furniture ware
rooms and the Western Union
telegraph office succumbed
to the flames, and within
fourliours fifteen stores east of it, to
the Sheldon block, were ruined. The
flames sprang across the street to
Hoag's opera house before an hour
had passed, and that was consumed
with all of Fall street on that side,
cast to Sheldon block, while on the
-north- Bido-the-Oooperativo block was
the limit. On State street tho flames
extended to and included Kellogg's
livery stable, but all of his stock was
saved. Tho sufferers, with some ap
proximate Josses on real property, are
given below, there probably being
fairly an average insurance:

TJip On. wib of Cities.
One of the most conspicuous and uot
able manifestations connected with the
increase of population throughout the
United States is found iu tho growth of
cit its. In 1790, the jear in which the
federal ccusus was taken, there were
only six cities in the country which
had ;. population of 8,000 or over.
There were 11 in 1810, 20 in 1S30. S5
in 1S50, 220 in 1S70, and 2SG in 1880.
The proportion of the inhabitants of
the cities to every 100 of those for the
whole countrv was 3.3 in 1790, 4.9 in
1810, G.7 in 1830, 12.5 in 1850, 20.9 in
1870, nnd 22.5 in 18S0. One out of every
30 of the people ot the United States
lived in cities at the time ot the foun
dation of the government under the
constitution; one out of 20 in 1810,
one out of every eight in 1850, one out
of every fivo fn 1870, and one out of
overy 4K approximately, in 18S0.
The count for 1800 has not yet been
pushed far enough to reveal tho pro.
portionate growth of the town3 in tho
past decade. Sufficient figures are at
hand, however, to show that the gap
between the total of the urban and
rural population of the country has
been narrowed at least as much in the
10 years now ended as it was in the
like years immediately preceding.
Thero'are undoubtedly nearly, if not
quite, 340 cities in the country just
now having 8000 inhabitants or up
ward. Twenty-five per cent of the
people of tho "country, or one out of
every four of the whole number, re
side in cities.

FREE DELIVERY.
Important Change Kladc by the
Committee.
Sp tl.illoTUK AsTOltIAX.1
Washington-, July 30. Senator
Mitchell, from the committee on post
offices and po3t roads, has reported fa
vorably with amendments, the bill to
extend the free delivery system. The
bill as presented proposes to intro
duce tho system into towns and cities
of not less than 3,000 population, or
whero the postoffice receipts are not
less than 5,000 for tho previous fiscal
year.
The committee changed these
figures to 5,000 population and $7,000
in postoffice receipts. A letter from
the postmaster-general shows there
aro 291 cities and towns that would be
entitled to free delivery and the esti
mated expense of putting it in opera
tion is SG79.000. The committee says
an appropriation of 350,000 will be
amply sruTcient for the preseut fiscal
year, provided the bill is enacted into
a law at an early date.

Special to The Astorian.1
New Ygrk, July 30. An attempt
was made yesterday to burn down a
five-story tenement house in which
twenty-two Jewish families live. The
back rooms on the second floor are
occupied by Solomon Warschauer, a
slipper peddler, his wife Hannah and
five children.
About 4 o'clock Mrs. Warschauer
was seen to go out with her 6-year-old
son and an infant of ten months. Ten
minutes later a young girl living in
the house discovered a fire burning in
the rooms of the Warschauers. She
alaimed the other tenants, who burst
open tho door and jrat o,ut the fire.
They found that everything had been
carefully arranged for a big blaze, as
three fires had been started by the in
cendiary. There was a bright blaze
in the kitchen near the door. Sus
pended from a bracket was an ox
bladder filled with benzine, with a pin
hole in the bottom, and the benzine
dropped into tho fire, adding fuel
to it.
Under the table in tho sitting room
was another fire. There was also an
other ox bladder filled with benzine
hanging near at hand. Around each
of the bladders was a quantity of flan
nel rags, which were saturated with
benzine and hung down to the floor.
In the bedroom there was also a fire
bnrning in a pile of rags and paper.
Near the blaze stood a can of benzine,
and benzine was also scattered over
the floor. There was also a big fire in
the kitchen stove, on which stood a
kettle of boiling fat. A detective ar
rested Mrs. Warschauer.

think that blue wa3 essentially a color
for blondes and angels. Nobody can
dispute its being the color for angels,
but it certainly is not the one to be
chosen by a blonde. The fair skin
looks cold enough, and when bluer
especially pale blue, is put near it tb
effect given is very undesirable, be
cause what was clear white before be
comes a pa'.or now. Blondes had
much better wear any of the rose
shades, bright scarlet, warm brown,
or dark green, leaving the very trying
pale blue to the brown-haired lassie
with a bright color, or the warm
brnnette whose skin does not
know the unsightly touch of sallow
ness. Everybody likes a rose-colored
lining and, to bo in vogue tnfa season,
every hody ought to have a rcse-colored
frock in cotton or wool, in silk or
tulle, it is always most charitable in
bringing out one's best features and ton
ing down one's worst. Combined with
white, the pink shades are as
dainty as a bit of old china, and
will suggest the pretty pink and white
ladies whom Watteau painted on fads,
who played at Little Trianon with.
