There is a great improvement in
the intellectual quality of the news
papers of New York city, ami they
are better furnished with talent in
every department and spenda great
deal more money for adequate con
tributions than they used to spend
fifteen years ago. The cost of
white paper formerly made up fully
one half of the whole expense of
the newspaper, now it makes up
about one quarter; then. paper cost
from twelve to fifteen cents per
pound, now it costs from six to
seven cents per pound. Owing to
this great reduction III the cost OF
paper the well established newspa
pefs in New York city are all OF
them making money, and even the
Tribune, which has been way down
by immense investment in real
estate, seems at last to have got
through with the effect of this mis-
fortune and has commenced to do
more than pay its expenses.
A first rate newspaper of New
York will REQUIRE about ten editO-

furnish leading ars|eles and eflito-

writer's will have their special dn- |
ties and there must always be five

scription. as they happen to come

NEVER

Have We been placed in a more
favorable position to the Clothing
buying people than at present. As
our trade has continued to increase
from season To season, it is evident
that some cause has produced the diff
ference, and we know of no other than
that we have always made it our con-
slant aim TO exchange the very best
Clothing for as rhIle money as was pos
sible. This season finds us with a stock
from which Men, Youths, Boys and
Children can be fitted in almost any
style of cut or material; and as we
buy our goods from first hands, always
for CASH, we are enabled to give great
inducements in the way of price.

A SWEEPING FIRE
Destroys a Large Portion of Dal-
las, Texas.
An Elevator Containing Thirty thousand
Bushels of Grain DestroYed-A Vast
Amount of Cotton Consumed.

GALVESTON, TEXAS, October 6-The News
Dallas special says: At enc o'clock this
afternoon probably the largest and most
destructive fire that ever occurred here is
now rsging. At IL o'clock this morning
fire broke out in the engine-room OF W. c.
H ward & CO.. elevator, and soon after the
flames were issuing forth in all directions.
The elevator is situated near the Texas and
Pacific depot, one block north OF Elm street.
The Flames Spread Rapidly,
and soon the cotton yard Of the City Com
press, occupying block of ground imme-
diateIy adjoining the elevator, caught fire,
and was rapidly consumed by the devour-
ing element A strong breeze is blowing
from the south east, and the heat from the
burning district is frightful.
At 40 the elevator fell with crash.
A brick building adjoining 1t, occupied by
Sinker, Davis & Co., containing boilers and
engines is also q total loss, both being
burned to the ground. The flames rapid
ly spread and soon the cotton around the
city compress across from the elevator
caught and is burning rapidly. 1t is hoped
that the compress will be saved with but

in that direction. At l245 the fire is still
raging, going in a northerly direction and
has Just
CRuEht and Wiped Up
the electric light works and a livery stable.
That part Of the town toward which ii is
now spreading is composed Of small frame
structures, and there is no telling where
it will stop. The elevator contained wheat
aud oats to the amount OF 30, 200 bushels,
all Of which was destroyed. There has also
been probably 1000 bales cf cotton con-
sumed thus tar. Prominent insurance
men estimate the loss at 81, 100000, and the
insurance at $750.OOO. OF course this is
mostly gHess work, as nothing definite can
oe obtained. Business Is almost suspended
and the whole town is excited. The fire
department responded promptly, but it
vas nearly half an hour before they got
regularly 10 work and then the
water supply Was Inadequate.
One OF the engines seemed TO be nearly
worthless. Wbere the fire broke out there
we're $50 or 800 box and fat cars lying
around on the track, and as these tried to
pass firemen were delayed until q switch
engine removed them. Fort Worth has
been teleqaphed to for aid and engines
and the department are expected in few
minutes.
Later.-It is said that nearly Is, 900 bales
Of cotton were in the yard and around the
con- press, and fully half that number have
been consumed
