TlIE EXTENT UR THE CHICAGO
CALAMITY


The Chicago Evening Journal thus re-
fers 10 the great destruction of the fire.
as compared with great fires IN other
cities In the world which have occurred
in the past. The journal says:
"Some idea OF the fearful ravsges during
the Great Fire ofChicago may be entertained
bv comparing 1t with the tother two greatest
OF hery vlsitatilns In the history Of the werd
those OF London and Moscow. The Great
Fire OF London covered 500 acres OF ground,
rendered homeless 100000 inhabitants and
l3,80O houses. That OF Moscow burned over
space OF 400 acres and destroyed 1900
houses. The Great Fire OF Chicago laid
waste over ] $50 acres, upwards OF 5000
buildings and rendered about 5000 persons
homeless.
As TO the pccuniary loss no FIRE which ever
occurred 10 inc world has bern attended ith
tnat suffered by Chicago, as in no city was
there such an amount OF valuable merchan-
disc orso many expensive hu uldings DESTROY
ed. Most Of our merchants had received
their winter stocks OF goods, none OF which
they were able to save. Inc loss in mer-
cbandise alone at tbls last great cor fiier ra-
ton, will be double that sufi red by London
and Moscow combined.
The great calamity which has fallen upon
our city, ss overwhelming as IL l., has not
broken the Spirit of our citizens.
With heroic courage the people at present,
not thinking of their own losses, are every
where setting to work to relieve the dis
.resscs Of others. Milwaukee, st. Louis,
Detroit, Toledo-in fact every village and
city within reach, have already come to our
relief with generosity and promptitude,
the memory OF which will ever be treasured
in the grateful memories Of us all.
But, we repeat the great heart OF Chicago
is not broken, nor her spirit OF enterprise
crushed. She will arise from her ashee, with
an energy which will eclipse all her former
tnorts, and speedily regain her former posi-
ton,

awaken no movement OF sympathy outside
Of our own borders. We must help our own,

We certainly can not object to the
people of Michigan remembering frat Of
all her own suffering people. That is
the obvious duty Of her citizens. But we
see no reason why,the people of the United

True charity Is thcughtfuI, careful and

our relationship and business intercourse
