The National Scourge.

1t Is estimated that the annual dam
age caused by the ravages of insects and
worms exceed $50, OOO, 600 in the United
States alone. Truly an enormous loss
Yet 1t sinks into insignificance when
compared with the ravages of that more
terrible scourge, Consumption, which
annually sweeps hundreds of thousands
OF human souls into eternity. Tne
causes Of consumption are various, de-
pending in every instance for the devel-
opment Of the disease upon the scrOfu-
lous diathesis, or temperament of the
vlctlm. Thus the same cause which
VII! produce In one person an attack of
acute disease or slight nervous pros
tratlon, will engender consumption in
q person of scr0tulous habit. That con-
sumption can be cured by proper treat
ment will be readily perceived when
the exact nature of the disease is under
stood, viz: the accumulation and depo-
sit1on of scr0fulous matter (tubercles) in
the lungs. Obviously, the principal re-
CURED are ~ powerful alternative, or
blood purifier, to arrest the accumula-
tons and also cleanse the blood of the
scrofulous matter, and ~ a mild cathar-
tic to expel the diseased matter from the
system. This course of treatment, in
conjunction with q strict hygienic re-
glme, has proved the most successful
method of curing this disease. DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Purgative Pellets are the best
Alternative and cathartic remedies before
the public, and have been alone used in
thousands of cases of consumption with
the most marked efficacy. DIR. Pierce's
lnyalids' Hotel, at Buffalo, N. Y, af-
fords special and unequaled advantages
to consumptives, not only possessing
the best medical and hygienic means Of
but having the essential adj
vantage of being situated in a climate
where the inhabitants are notably free
from this disease.

The Great Fire ut Cape May.


MORE THAN HALF OF THE FAMOUS SEA-
sIDl RESORT IN ASHES TEN HOTELS
AND TWENTY COTTAGES DESTROYED
SUPPOSED INCENDIARY ORIGIN OF
THE FIRE-LoSs OVER $500 900.
CAPE MAY, N. J., Nov 1O-The most
disastrous fire that has ever visited any
seaside resort yesterday laid more than
one-half of the principal part of Cape
May in ashes. The flames, famed by q
northwest gals, sweEt through the Gen.
trail portion of the city, aud az all of the
buildings, from the statliest to the
humblest, are of wood, and the various
squares divided by marrow streets, they
fell an easy prey. The burned district
embraces nearly forty acres of spacious
buildings, including ten hotels and nine
teen or twenty cottages, representing u
total value Of oyer $500. 900, and this
crisp autumnal morning the black, un
shapely ruins mar sadly enough ali the
associations of last seasons gayeties aud
pleasures. The hotels in the order Of
their destruction are as follows: The
House, Merchants Hotel, Centennial
House, Atlantic House, Knickerbocker
House, Avenue House, Wyoming House
smaller strnctpres Which shared their
fate the insurance. cover about half the
loss.
Fortunately there was no loss of life
during the conflagration, though there
were some marrow escapes, ana several
persons were scorched and otherwise
slightly injured in saving property and
fighting the fire. The fireman worked
under great disadvantages, but they &C
complished much more than the situa-
alton and the circumstances led MANY
to even hope for.
LATEST REPORTS AND FEATURES OF
THE SITUATION.
All Investigations confirm the belief
that tAe fire was incendiary. One eve
witness states that shayings saturated
with coal oil were found in the attic story
of the Ocean House Immediately after
the alarm had been given, and Similar
rumors come from other sources. It il
probable that the city council will he
called together to- morrow and institute
searching inquiry. The council Is
held by public sentiment to be really re-
sponsible for the conflagration. Water
was abundant, but the only engine. an
old hand machine, purchased for $40C
two years ago, which requires eighteen
men, with relays every ten minutes Ia
work it, was worthless, while the hose
was rotten and constantly bursting -
One steam ire engine could have extin
guished the flames any time before they
reached the Center House. But short
time ago the council refused, by vote
of six to three, to buy new apparatus.
