An Immense Fire.

Paris, ga number of fires are
reported in Algeria. All the coun-
try around Phillippoville, to the ex-
tent Of sixty square kilometres, is
one vast cOnfagration. Slora, the
port of Phillippoville, is destroyed.
A forest of cork trees is ablaze, and
the flames, famed by violent
sirocco, are carrying all before them.
1t is hardly possible for the garrison
and population to effect anything in
the way of subduing the fires on &C
count of the heat. 1t is feared the
fire originated with the Arabs.
Liverpool, 29.-The large cotton
warehouse in Dutten street is on
fire.
Beaver Falls, Pa, 29.-Melton &
Sons flour mills. Pittsburg Pine
Works and the Beaver Falls Steel
Works, were entirely consumed by
fire. Loss $4,000; fully insured.
The origin Of the fire is not known.
Kingston, Ont, 2S.-Bush fires are
destroying the forests along the
Kingston and Pembroke Railroad.

are little higher than last night,
the former being about leo and the
latter 10, the fact is accounted for
by the presence of an accumulation
OF pus in the glandular swelling
which was removed at the evening
dressing. The gland looks better
tonight than at any. time since it be-
came a dangerous feature i'll the
case. The wound is also doing well.
The condition is still farther i'm
proved.
DR.. Baxter is reported to have
said to friend this afternoon that il
the Presidents stomach holds out
and If he is properly cared for he
will probably recover.
There were very few callers at the
Executive Mansion to-day, and the
crowd which on Saturday and Sun
day surrounded the main gateway
on pennsylvania Avenue had en-
tlrely disappeared; occasionally
some personal friend of the Presi-
dent would enter the Executive
Mansion with an anxious express
sion on his face in search of infor-
nation, but IN few moments he
would come out smiling, confident
and assured. The members of the
cabinet were all here this morning,
but were so well satisfied with the
outlook that they remained only a
short time.
BLAINE TO LOWELL.
AT 1870 tonight the general con-
ditiOn of the President is favorable.
Late in the afternoon the pulse rose
to 112 and temperature to zoos.
Both were little higher than the
surgeons expected. The pulse now
has fallen to 108. The fever is sub
siding and the parotid swelling
steadily improving or, at least dl-
minishing in size. The apprehen-
siOnS of serious blood poisoning
grow less every hour.

Berne. 29.-The president OF the
Swiss confederation on receiving
Minister Cramer, expressed sorrow

act which brought President Gar
field to the brink of death, and an
earnest hope for his recovery.
New York, 29.-Dr. Frank Ham
iltOn, who has just returned from
Washington, was found this even
ing in his library by an Associated
Press reporter. The doctor said he
had been so misrepresented in inter
views concerning the President,
that he should hereafter exact a
copy of every reporter of what he
said before they left.
The reporter then asked: Are you
reported correctly in an evening
paper, to-day, that you had no doubt
whatever but that the President
would recover? DR.. Hamilton
No, sir. L would not say that of any

OBITUARY.

JACOB McKNsTRY was born May It'll,

New Paris, Preble Co., o., Aug. I'd,
1881, aged 75 years, 2 months and %
days.
When he was six ) ears old his father
removed to Dixon township, Preble
Co, O., where he grew to manhood,
having obtained only q limited educa-
tion.I July 22d, 1880, was married to
Miss Mary Odell, Of the same locality,
with whom he lived 81 years., satisfied
in his affection, raising q family OF i've
children, M son and foul daughters.
He manifested great interest in The ed
ucation of his children, and whilst ed
ucating them he, too, obtained a good
business education. He was a man of
thorough integrity, being firm in prin-
ciples that he thought wero right
guarding his children against evil as
sociations whilst they were young
His house was always a home for the
friendless, and especially orphan chill
dren, having raised ten. He was al
ways resigned to the will Of Providence
and was never known to murmur at
any dispensation of the Master. He
leaves an aged widow, four daughters
and several grandchildren, who,
though. they walk no more Hfe's path
beside him, will cherish fondly the
memory of his ever watchful care
His only son and first-born preceded
him to the spirit land. After several
months Of painful illness, 'the weary
wheels of life stood still at last" and
his happy spirit returned to God.

The Legislature of Ohio has passed a
bill providing for the inspection of butter
and cheese, "and all substances having
the semblance of butter and cheese"
and of diaries and other places where
milk is sold or butter and cheese is man
~ufactured; to be done by inspectors APP
pointed by the State Board of Health
The superintendent Of inspectors of but
ter and cheese, Nh. Robert Orr, has just
issued a circular of instructions to his
s~ubordinates giving information which
may be of value to butter makers and
buyers generally. He says:
When butter is properly churned both
as to time and temperature, it becomes
firm with very little working, and is ten
acious but its most desirable state is that
of waxy, when it can be nodded into any
shape, and may be drawn out a consider
able length without breaking. 1t is then
styled gilt-edged. 1t is only in this state
that butter possesses that rich, nutty fla
yor and smell, and shows up a rich gold
ZEN yellow color, which imparts 80 high a
degree of pleasure in eating it, and which
increases its value manifold.
sit is not always necessary when it
smells fresh and sweet, to taste butter in
judging it. The smooth unctuous feel in
rubbing a little between the finger and
thumb expresses at once its rich quality
the nutty smell and rich aroma indicate
a similar taste; and the bright, glisten-
ing, cream-colored surface shows its high
state of cleanliness. 1t may be necessa-
ry at times to use the trier, or even use
it until you become an expert in testing
by taste, smell, and rubbing"

WHITE PME, Col,

WHITE PINE, COL,
July 22d, 1887
DEAR DEMocRAT-Since / last wrote
you 1 have been having good time, rs
I always have had since my stay here,
and my only regret is that some of my
old Eaton friends are not here to enjoy
everything with me. Yesterday, the
21st OF July, we had a fire all day, and it
was not too warm. I sat around in my
thick dress and sacque and felt very com
Portable. I see by the papers that you
are about melting. We have had some
quite warm days, but always cool morn
ings and evenings.
You must not think that the inhabi-
tants of this country are all rough and
uncivilized, for such is not the case. To
be sure, they live in log cabins and tents,
but there are as fine people here as in
of whose pleasant acquaintance I have
made. One of the incest homes is that
of two families, which is a single log
cabin divided into two departments. AS
a general thing, they bring with them
that only which they can barely get along
with. Their floors are carpeted-some
paper their walls-others use a canvass
to decorate them, and it looks very hand
some. The wall paper, all / have seen,
is s~tone-colored, Powered, thick and
heavy like paste-board. Instead of past
ing it on as we do, it is tackled on the
walls. This, with a few pictures hung
around, looks quite tasty. There is pro-
badly a bird cage hanging at the window,
one bed in the room, a few chairs and a
table. If more company m than
there are chairs to accommodate, a box
or two is brought in and all seem COM
Portable and very cheerful. For myself,
l have quite a home-like tent.
We have rain now almost every day.
Some think the rainy season has set in,
although early for it. 1t does not rain
all day, but it comes in heavy showers,
laying the dust and cooling the air finely.
The inhabitants say it does this during
the day for about six weeks but seldom
rains at night. The 18th of July was an
unusually warm day, which brought a
