Over so Structures Laid In Ruins-The
Other Alarms of the Day.
PARTA PEO, PERU, Oct. 1O.-A destruc-
tive fire originated here last night, con-
suming quarter of the town. The fire
started at 9 O'Clock and at O'Clock this
morning the flames, famed by a strong
south wind, had consumed everything in
straight line from where they
ignited down to the beach. They
were prevented from spreading on
the west by the open space of a
square. and on the east by the destruc-
tioD of several houses. The city bell
sounded an alarm, which was responded
to by the one engine of the town, but this
proved useless, as an hour or more was
occupied IN getting to work. The princi.
pal buildings destroyed were Pailette's
warehouse, priests house. the Peruvian
Institute, the Spanish drug store, the
Spanish and Portuguese Consulates, and
about 100 other houses. The damage
is estimated at $4,000. There is no in
surance.
COSTLY CHURCH BURNED.
CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-The Third Presby-
terian Church on Ashland avenue. one of
the finest churches in the city, was burned
this morning. 1t was a stone structure
completed about three years ago, and pos
sessed very expensive organ, which was
completely consumed. Only portion of
the walls of the church are left standing.
The loss will reach $125,000. The fire was
caused by the explosion of a timers
lamp, number of workmen having been
engaged in repairing the roof. The in
surance is $91, 1,2C0.

Heavy Storm at st. Paul.

A dispatch dated at st. Paul on the 9th
says: Heavy rain and thunder storms pre-
vailed in this vicinity since 4 O clock this
afternoon, and at this writing, midnight,
rain is falling in binding sheets. Trains
on all the roads centering here are delayed
by washouts. No reports received vet of
damage by wind or lightning, but it is
feared from the character Of the storm
here that damage has been done west of
this city.
A later report says: 1t is reported here
that the storm last night caused the most
disastrous washout ever known on the
Omaha road, near Eau Claire. Trains of
that road are compelled to run into this
city over the Milwaukee road via Camp
Douglass.

proper time the screws would certainly
be turned on: yet the b1g bears did not
scare. They argued that prices were
already far above their level with reference
to other articles. that farmers bins were
overflowing with last years grain and that
the new crop was likely to be enormous.
Hence Nat Jones, Cantner, Bloom. Bod
man and Charlie Schwartz, with their
followings, sold early and late, while such
operators as Baker, Sherwin and Dows
quietly put away all offerings at the same
time taking good care that only very
small amount Of the current receipts-for
which, by the way, there has all along
been splendid shipping demand even at
a premium over the option remained in
Chicago. Now this enormous short inter-
est is beginning to be badly shaken up
by the rapid falling off in the number of
cars coming in. In anticipation of a very
large yield they have not alone discount
ed future not yet revealed but have con-
tracted to deliver property at time when
the next crop, whatever its size, can be of
no possible aid to them: Receivers say,
that attracted by the fine figures which
the cereal has maintained for the past few
weeks, the country has already marketed
all the grain that could possibly be scraped
together.
Farmers have not enough left
to feed the boys on" said J. w.
Bliss this morning. The whole of the
next two crops, however, would not be
sufficient to fill the September and Oct
ober contracts.

October?'

got the boys just as securely as Armour
had the sellers of pork. There is moth

Wheat is quiet, although the general
feeling appears to be improving. The
opinion is gaining ground among traders
that perhaps this years crop is not such a
tremendous one after all. The threshing
machine has so far produced nothing like
the results anticipated, while the inspec-
ton report here shows that scarcely 20
per cent of the receipts are grading No. 2
or better. There are, however, in the
market at the present time, large num-
Der of little fellows who are ''long."
On the slightest upturn they are eager to
realize, thus preventing any important
buglc. and the bears declare that after
the close of navigation they will be able
to mark quotations down in short order.
Provisions are tame. A number of
traders are loading up with lard and ribs,
in the hope that the lack of corn in the
country will cause the hogs to come to
market in such bad condition that boom
will be inaugurated in those articles; but
if poor hogs were all that were needed
this result would have occurred some time
ago, as for weeks a large proportion of
the animals arriving have been sent back
to feeders in the country.

a candidates personal character is OF
no consequence whatever. And the
saddest, as well as the most amazing
fact in this connection is the unblush-
ing advocacy of this position by GER
tain popular leaders and widely known
journals, including even some profess
sedly Christian men and religious pa
pers. Some of the foremost to call
for political reform avow themselves
utterly indifferent to that private char
acter of officials without which no
public reform of any permanence can
be secured. They do not seem to
have been misled into yielding to any
sudden impulse, nor do they assert
themselves shamefacedly, or with
apologies; but they make their mon
strous claim boldly and almost def
antly, and the mischievous influence
of their course God alone can appre-
ciate.
The editor of the New York hide
pendent, who was at first inclined to

the Buffalo scandal and has concluded
that he cannot give his support to

would be San insult to the Ruler Of

THE SHORT HAY CRor.-Reports to
the Nea0 England Homestead from
325 points, covering the Provinces,
New England and New York, indicate
that the hay crop just harvested is
nearly 80 per cent. less than last
year. The average yield of the several
sections is as follows: Maine, Is per
cent. New Hampshire, 65; Vermont,
81; Massachusetts,, IA; Connecticut,
65; Rhode Island, So; New York,
II; the Provinces, 80; the average
for the whole section, 70. Prices are
higher than last year, when the crop
was very heavy in the great shipping
countries. Many farmers will either
have to sell stock. or buy hay. Cattle
will therefore be somewhat lower than
one year ago. The drought in north
ern and central New England is ex-
tending south and west. The make
Of butter and cheese in Vermont and
in the great cheese section of New

No material decline in the price of
these products is therefore probable.
Another week of drought will serious

and New York.

DIGGING POTAToEs.-There is some
apprehension of rot in potatoes, for
signs have already been seen. In
some fields where farmers are digging
to sell they find now occasional APP
pearance of rot, and they have there
fore uneasy apprehension regarding
the safety of the crop. What is best
to do when rot is imminent is a ques-
ton that has never been satisfactorily
answered, if, indeed, farmer can do
anything better than to let the disease
take its course. 1t will not do to take
the potatoes out and store for winter
use before they are fully matured, yet
they may be badly affected by rot be-
fore this stage is reached. When the
proper time comes for digging, the
potatoes fully ripe, it is probably bet
ter to take them out of the ground at
once and dry them in the sun, then
put away in the shade with partial
protection from atmospheric influence.
In this condition rot may continue,
but there is less risk than when the
potatoes are left in the ground, while,
on the other hand, there is certainty
that if loss occurs after digging it is
loss of labor in digging, besides the
potatoes.

COOP ADVICE TO YOUNG Men
Young men, you are the architects of
your own fortunes; rely on your own
strength Of body and soul. Take for
your star self-reliance. Inscribe on
your banner: ''Luck is fool, Pluck
lis hero" Don't take too much adj
vice; keep at the helm and steer your
own ship, and remember that the art
of commanding is to take fair share
of the work. Think well of yourself.
Strike out. Assume your own posi-
ton. Put potatoes in cart, go over a
rough road and the small ones go to The
bottom. Rise above the envious and
jealous. Fire above the mark you in
tend TO hit. Energy, invincible de-
termination, with a right motive, are
the levers that move the world. Don't
swear. Don't deceive. Don't read
novels. Don't marry until you can
support a wife. Be civil. Read the
papers. Advertise your business.
Make money and do good with it.
Love your God and fellow men. Love
truth and virtue. Love your country
and obey its laws.-PreSident Porter,
of Yale
