Fire Limits.

Why cannot the Council establish
fire limits from 9Th to 18th streets
and south from Second to Fourth
avenues, and thus protect the city
from danger of osnfagration by the
further erection and occupancy OF
shanties in the alleys?
Can this Council do anything to-
ward serving the public interests
50 far, it has done nothing whatever,
except to spend the public money in
the most useless and senseless man
ner. The present city administra-
lion Is a dead failure.

A Case that Puzzled the Whole
Faculty.

Mrs. Milo Ingrum gave the names
ofsome of the most reputable physic-
ians in yhe two cities pittsburgh and
Allegheny, to whom she had paid
large sums of money for treatment,
but she rapidly grew worse. She
was then taken to the most reputa-
bic physicians and surgeons in New
York, but with no better success.
They had all pronounced it cancer,
and declared she must die. The flesh
of her breast was eaten away down
to her ribs; the breast bone was laid
bare, and the disease made its way
upwards, causing the breast to be-
come detached from Che walls Of the
chest, hanging loose from above.

magazine writer. who asserts that 3OO, OOO
families In London alone are In the
habit of pawning small articles, and
that moro than 10000 600 unredcemed
pledges are sold every year. As many
as 10000 are taken in pledge yearly
throughout the country. and, although
