BURNED OUT.
M. A. Jewell & Co. and Stevens &
Smart the Sufferers.


The alarm of fire at ten minutes after Z
last evening was caused by the discovery of
flames in the four story brick building on
the corner of Fore and Union streets, occu-
pied by M. A. Jewell & Co., Wholesale deal
ers in teas, coffees, spices and tobacco, and
Stevens & Smart, brittania manufacturers.
John Cady saw the light of the fire and sent
in an alarm from box 412, Officer Frank
shortly after sending In second alarm. The
firemen found that the fire, which had orig
mated In the premises of Messrs. Stevens &
Smart, on the second and third floors, was
rapidly gaining Roadway. The new Hayes
truck was put in use and the excitement of
the spectators was increased. by what ap-
peared to be the narrow escape of the fireman
on the top of the long ladder. which was
raised in the air. The sudden turning on OF
the water caused the ladder to sway violent
ly, and it looked as if the fireman would be
thrown from his lofty position. He retained
his hold, however, and the new apparatus
proved of great service in fighting the flames.
For a time the fire had an ugly look. but 1t
was gotten under control and subdued.
M. A. Jewell & Co. occupy the basement,
first floor and part of the fourth floor of
the building. Their stock was valued at
about $40 and included a large amount of
tobacco and cigars, some of which were re-
moved. The amount of loss cannot be stated
accurately, but will probably be covered by
the insurance, which is for $4,000. OF this,
w. A. Allen, Jr., has $4,000. placed in the
Merchants, New Hampshire and Buffalo
German companies. The remainder is in the
agency Of Warren Sparrow.
Stevens a. Smart had an insurance of S10,-
900, 5000 of which is placed with Rollins g.
Adams. Their loss will be heavy aad may
reach sum above the insurance.
The building is owned by Rufus Durham.
1t is badly damaged in the interior but the
walls are intact There is insurance placed
with Palmer & Anderson sufficient to cover
the loss, amounting to several thousand dol
lars.
During the progress of the fire, young
man with his pockets lined with supply of
Mr.. JEWELS choice cigars met Officer Nc
Donough and was promptly furnished quar-
tiers at the city building. Through the kind
ness of Mr.. Jewell, the firemen smoked as
they worked The cause of the fire is not
known.
Messrs. NJ. A. Jewell & Co., through the
kindness of business friends in providing
quarters for them, will be able to fill orders
as usual.

The Samaritans.

The Old Folks Choir of this city. led by
DR.. John Buzzell, will give a concert next
Friday evening at the vestry Of Congress
Square church, for the benefit Of the Samari-
tan Association. To those who have had the
good fortune to hear the conc rts given by
this choir, the simple announs4 ment is suf-
ficient, but to those who have u { we will say
if they will go they will listen to very en-
joyable concert, and will also aid one of the
noblest charities Of the city, for the Samari-
tans are entirely non-sectarian and are called
on for help by all denominations. They
need ready money to meet all these calls, and
it is but just for everybody to put forth the
little they ask for. especially when they will
receive such an entertainment in exchange

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
WONDERFUL CHANCES.
The Far Seeing Take Advantage Of
Them In Time.

is THIS country unconsciously undergoing
wonderful change, is the change to take
place before we are aware Of the fact, and
when 1t has taken place will we wonder why
we did not see 1t before it was too late2
Those that see the changes early avail
themselves early, and thereby receive bene-
fit.
The shrewd iron man sees the iron interest
transferred from Pittsburg and Pennsylvania
to Birmingham, Alabama, and in his far
sightedness sees the furnaces in Pennsylvania
torn down and deserted for this new and pro-
life field.
We have seen the grain-growing centers Of
this country shifted to the West We have
seen the pork-packing industry fit from Gin
cnnati to Chicago, and from thence to Kan
sas City and Omaha. Southern cotton mills
undersell New England and American mar
kets and challenge the world.
We have seen and are seeing all this take
place before our eyes, and know that other
changes are taking place equally as promi-
nent, and we wonder as we behold them.
Ten years ago the insurance companies re-
quired an analysis of the fluids only when
they were taking insurance for very large
amounts. To-day no first-class company will
insure any amount unless rigid analysis is
had of the fluids passed, and If any traces OF
certain disorders are apparent. the applica-
ton is rejected. In their reports they show
that the death of sixty of every 100 people
in this country, is due either directly OF indi-
rectly to such disorders. The Brompton
Hospital for Consumptiyes, London, Eng
laud, reports that sixty Of every 100 victims
of consumption also have serious disorders
of the kidneys.
Among scientists for the treatment of this
dread malady the question is being discussed
rs not this disorder the real cause Of con-
sumption?"
Ten years ago the microscope was some
thing seldom found in a physicians office;
now every physician of standing has one and
seldom visits his patients without calling for
sample of fluids for examination.
Why is all this? Is it possible that we of
the present generation are to die of diseases
caused by kidney disorders? or shall we
master the cause by Warmers safe cure, the
only recognized specific, and thus remove the
effects? II is established beyond doubt
that very large percentage of deaths in this
country are traceable to diseased kidneys.
For years the proprietors of Warmers safe
cure have been insisting that there is no
sound health when the kidneys are diseased,
and they enthusiastically press their specific
for this terrible disorder upon public atten-
ton.
This means wonders.
> Cannot the proprietors of this great rem
edy, who have been warning us of the dan
ger, tell us how TO avoid disease that at first
is so unimportant, and is so fatal in its ter
mination? Are we to hope against hope, and
wait without our reward?
1t was formerly thought that the kidneys
were of very small Importance; to-day. we
believe, it is generally admitted that there
can be no such thing as sound health in any
organ if they are in the least degree deranged.

A Correction.

Our printer made sad havoc with the
thoughts expressed by Mrs. Hunt asgiyen by
our report of the missionary meeting. Her
topic was woman and .Universalism," and
Mrs. Hunt claimed that at heart all women
were Universalists no matter in what church
they might worship. She denounced the old
dogmas of everlasting punishment and God
of i1rath. as in contrast to those Of final sal
walton for all, and God as the loving, merci-
full father Of all mankind. She claimed that
womanhood was the very essence of the
CniYersalist faith.
