wharves and buildings. The night was
favorable so far that there was only
very light breeze, and the Fire Depart
ment managed to prevent it spreading
on either side, there being no closely adj
iacent building.
This brings US TO another point, name
ly, the infammable nature OF property
exposed in that section OF the city.
Lumber Is piled up in vast quantities,
and if ever a fire gets into a lumber
yard it will make a clean sweep Of all
adjoining property. We really think
that lumber yards should be outside the
city limits in some convenient place. 1t
might be a hardship to remove them
now, but public safety will demand it in
the not distant future, and such a
measure Of precaUtion should be faced
soon as late.
We mention lumber yards because
they strike the eye more readily than
anything else, but there are other
equally infammable and dangerous
goods which are stored in close proximity
to dwellings and business premises that
should also be removed to places OF
greater security. This is a matter III
which all are interested, and it is not
urged in antagonism to any special bust
ness or person.

ANOTHER FIRE.
r. w. Iaine and 4. K. Eyan's Prem
Uses on the EspIRnade Burned

Last evening, at ten minutes past
O'Clock, a fire alarm was sounded, which
proved to be for a fire on the Esplanade
at Ryan's bodybuilding shop. Reach
ing the spot three minutes after the
alarm, the whole building was found TO
be on fire, and the flames had penetrated
to the adjoining building on the makai
side, used as a grain and feed warehouse
by Mr. r. w Lame. The Fire Depart
ment was somewhat slow in getting TO
the scene of the conhagratiOn, and 1t was
thirteen minutes after the alarm was
sounded before the first stream OF water
was put on the burning buildings. The
flames made rapid Roadway, and aided
by a light breeze there was then not the
slightest chance of saving the buildings
from total destruction. There Is con-
siderable space between Mr.. LANES
building, and those OF the Interlsland
Steam Navigation Company, and the
firemen kept the fire from the latter
buildings number OF willing work
ers opened the doors OF Mr.. LANES
warehouse and commenced to take out
quantity of grain, but the flames drove
them away before many bags were got
out. The heat from the fire was intense,
and it was almost impossible to APP
| proach it. The roof of the feed ware
house was covered with galvanized iron,
and from this went up blue flames, the
| effect being very striking. About twenty
minutes before 9 o'clock the roof fell in,
and the fire was under control. The
alarm was first given to the central
| office by the Waterman of the Wilder
| Steamship Company. The fire started
at Ryan's boat-house, but the origin is
unknown. There were three new boats
in tie building, which were burned,
along with a large number OF ship car
penters' tools. Several boats in the
ward were saved. Mr.. Ryan estimates
his loss at $500, and is in
sured for 81 900 with Mr.. Jaeger.
| During the past week Mr.. Lame had
replenished his stock. He was insured
! for s., 900, but this does not nearly cover
his loss. During the progress OF the fire
a row took place between two OF the en-
CINE companies. One claimed that the
other was using hose not belonging to
it, and requested that it be given up,
which was refused. The police appear
ing on the spot restored order. One
company made itself ridiculous by play
ing with hose, the stream from which
fell fully fifty yards from the fre-a most
extravagant waste of water.

Fourth OF July.

Z Last evening meeting OF American
citizens was held at the Hawaiian Hotel
to arrange for the observance Of the
Fourth OF July. The meeting, which
was well attended, was called to order
by His Excellency Geo. w. Merrill

WI. Hopper was elected Chairman. At
this point the meeting was broken up on
account of the alarm of fire. On resum-
ing, Mr.. T. G. Porter was elected Sec
rotary, but not being present, Mr.. E. F.
Bishop was appointed Secretary pro
tenn. The following General Committee

Wearing Earnings.

New Orleans Times Democrat
Last year we were assured that it was vul-
gar to wear earrings on the street. This
fall the tidings are still more joyful. The
practice of piercing the tender flesh of chill
dren to insert barbaric rings, is quite out of
fashion. Even in full evening dress earrings
are considered "bad style" They have al
ways been bad style. Quite as much so as
the rings with which the aboriginal Peruvian
woman decorates her nose, indicating by the
weight and massiveness of the ornament, the
rank of her husband. In North America
We too, can Judge from the size of the per-
forating jewel, something of the husbands
social status; the bigger the stones, the
newer the fortune; that is a rule with few
exceptions
Diamonds are, from their extreme bril-
Hancy and hardness OF luster, becoming to
none but women of high color. A pale
woman in blazing diamonds is ridiculous;
and people of taste must welcome fashion
which removes from pallid and shallow
cheeks the jewels that dangle at their side.
A really pretty ear, small and pink and sit
ting closely to the head, is as delicate and
lovely in its commissions and colOring as any
half-blown rose or tinted sea-sheu. To pull
such a dainty, half -transparent little or
gan out of shape, to puncture the rosy
lobe, is, and always was, a practice
worthy of-wen of the Honyhnhnms. If
the ear is pale and large and fabbY, like a
Baltimore oyster; if it points into the air as
if it had wings and was longing to try them,
surely it is best to avoid anything that at
tracts attention to such blemiSh. 1t is said
that only lovers and artists appreciate the
rare and intricate lovelineSs of we'll shaped
ear. But every one appreciates the ugliness
of the same organ, when It is dragged out OF
shape, when it is made still more ugly by
great hoops and pendants that irritate even
to fostering and ulcers when first inserted,
that are painful whenever they ars intro

ALegislator,s Influence.

Don Piatt tells an anecdOte to illustrate
his unpopularity as member of the Ohio
Legislature. " One day a shy and rather
good fellow asked me to assist him in get
ting a bill of bis through the House. The
request was so strange that l responded:
Certainly; fetch me your papers, and 1
will make an argument in behalf of your
measure Heavens, no, Colonel he ex-
claimed in horror, that is not the way
What is the way, them Well, Colonel,
don't get mad: but, you see, you go for
these fellows pretty savage, and the Ouly
way the jackasses can get even with you
is to vote ag'in you. Now, when my bill
comes up, if you'll make one of your in
fernal attacks on it and me, all the stooplds
u rush in and vote for it. Seer"

The Herald has received a fine photo
graph of the cyclone which passed through
Miner County, OAK, August %, taken at
Howard, Oak. This cyclone, it viii be re-

O'Clock on a bright afternoon, when, with
the exception of a few heavy banks Of
clouds, the sky was clear and the sun was
shining pleasantly. Suddenly mOnstrous
funnel-shaped arm shot downward from
one of the clouds, and a moment later the
cyclone was formed and was moving slowz

The first concern of lie is the home Upon

rests His first blessing. And the foundations
are laid for all other relations and possibii-
ties Of life, when in training, in ideal, in pur-
pose, the identifying and ordering Of the

If in that home woman shall come, lily pre-
pared for her work, and with wronged ideas
of her mission chaos or ruin are Inevitable.
And the influence of such lack of prepara-

Without preparation for such a life mar

COLLECTING ON LETTERS.
Interesting Gossip From New York Letter
Carrier.

N. Y. SUM-
mail carrier boarded . De Kalb av-
e5,ue, Brooklyn, car, and, as he paid his
fare, remarked that he had to pay for SIX
rides a day in order to do his work on Time
He said that the Postmaster gives him
three tickets which are bought of the car
companies by the Government. He opened
his leather bag and began to sort the letters
in it. Presently he handed one to the con-
ductor saving, There's a Chinese letter."
EeThem Chinese get a powerful sight OF
Ietters.U said he, ''and also send power
full sight. Most of the letters are from
BeIleville, N. j., and from New York city.
All the Chinese seem to be educated and all
can write. The majority of the letters they
send ont from here are to laundries in San
Francisco They are remarkable for the
money orders they use. They both get
them and send them. They seem to help
each other along with money very freely.
Anv man who has to do with Chinese Is
sure to like them better than Eye-talians.
I1The Eye-talians is bad lot. You go
into their houses and see lem all sleeping
together promiscuously, a dozen or twenty

thing a man can do is to try to get money
out of 'em. You see, their letters from
Italy all come collect" The charges on

The carriers have to pay the charges on
all such letters before they take them out
of the post-office. The next thing is to get
The money back. The Eye-talians will talk
and jabber all day if carrier will stand
by and listen. They will run away with
