A S1,5OO.OO BLAZE!
GERRY LUMBER cos BOARDING
HOUSE BURNED. -

Last Saturday morning about half
past seven O'Clock fire broke out in
the Gerry Lumber Co.'S boarding
house. The alarm was sounded hut
the fire company had been drying
their hose and it was off the carts
which DELAYED them in responding.
When they reachedt h .fireit was found
that the nearest hydrant was f'ozed
up and they had to- go back and at
tach to the one ON Dickinson & Cook S
corner. The building was as dry as
finder and the fire had gained such
Roadway by this time that there was
no hopes of saving it and all that
could be done was to keep the fire
from spreading to large pile of dry
wood near and the adjacent houses.
The building and the greater part of
the contents were total loss. The
building was valued at one thou
sand dollars and the furniture and
bedding at over five hundred dollars
more. Several of the men boarding
there also lost all their clothes. The
building and contents We're insured
in the sum nf five hundred Il )llars.
The fire originated from stove
pipe in the kitchen and if the hydrant
and hose had been in proper condi-
ton it could have been put out with
out doing any damage except togive
the kitchen part Al slight scOrching.
We have q good system of water
works bat we might as we'll have none
at all unless we have an effective fire
department and the MIGRANTS and
| hose kept in proper shape.
Thecompany have already begun
to rebuild and have the foundation
laid and the frame OF the new board
! ing house up.

and many q suffering youth, unmindful

Like every other institution. the Board
Of Trade has a nomenclature peculiar to
itself. Those who believe the market
will advance. and play the game ON that
theory, are called bulls" while .bears"
are men who expect to see prices decline
and accordingly sell that they may profit
by the fall. a strong or rising market is
termed "bullish," and sbearish" when

She had a glimpse, too, of some Of the
amusements of the harem, and the
sweetest singers sang and the finest
musicians played for her qualification.
Like others who have been privileged
with a glimpse Of the inner life Of the
seraglio, she noted the INDECENT luxury
of the women, their love of friends and
their passion for knowledge concerning
the outer world.
She received the impression that {,
majority of the women were compsra-
lively happy and contented with their
surroundings, ambition and the quail
ties that belong to higher intelligence
being found among the Sultanas only.
Some of the latter, she discovered, were
in no wise behind European ladies in
education and feminine accomplish
ments. :
One afternoon, shortly before his
departure for home, the Emperor Wis,
tied the famous mosque of the dancing
dervishes and occupied q box at one Of
their great religious ceremonies. A.
band Of Oriental musicians rendered
sacred music that sounded jarring and
barbarous to his ears; long litanies
were chanted by single dervishes and
the responses made by q choir of young
dervishes. :.

who have bought-without paying the

who have bought-without paying the
price demanded.
The trouble with corners 10 that thew
very often-in fact, in Q clear majority Of
cases-fail to corner, and in that event
the losses are commensurate with what
the gains might have otherwise been.
MOI only are millionaires thus bankrupt
pinned their faith ami invested their last
dollar in the success or failure Of the
scheme, go down with them.
u and .calls' are terms Of very
general use. They are frequently called
privileges. The buyer Of aaput* paws q
certain sum for the privilege Of selling
during q certain time, usually . dsy. q
certain thing at IL certain price.
A call" is the privilege Of buying ON
the same terms. They are sold for small
sums, and the purchaser generally drops"
the amount invested. In cases of I'M
usual fiuctuation, however, large profits
are made on puts" Nnd calls" In the
history Of the Board.N $lO,O 900 has moro
of 800. A "straddle" is a combined put
and call, and is taking chances both
ways.
A large portion of the buying and SELL
ing is done by trokers. Many Of these
act for wealthy operators, who not in.
frequently have several brokers' on the
door at the same time, operating, to all
appearances, at cross-purposes. There
are many tricks among spectators, and
finessing is as useful on the Board of
Trade as in a game of whist.
Many OF Chicago's people speculate
through Q broker ON the Eoard. The real
harvest of the latter comes, however,
from the countrymen, OF more properly,
the residents Of small cities and towns.
These, dazzled by the fortunes of which
they continually read as having been
made in q day, are constantly pouring
money into that insatiate hopper Of
speculation, from whence it passes into
a mill, the tolls of which are exceedingly
heavy.
Granting that the small outside oper-
ator is as likely to win as lose, and has
capt. Ito carry on his speculations, he
is, in the long run, almost certain to quit
q loser; for. by reason of continual
grinding, b entire grist is consumed by
the broker in the form of commissions
tolls.
Board of Trade men are. for tho most
part, a rollicking set. At times they act
like q lot of schoolboys, playing on each
other oil manner Of pranks. II one had
the value of all tho hats that have been
destroyed on the Chicago Board of Trade,
he would be a wealthy man. Sticking
burningpapers in hats, and emptying SAM
pies of flour over each other, are common
amusements.
Many of the large fortunes Of Chicago
were amassed on the board, and many Of
the heaviest operators were once poor
men, and that not many years ago, either.
Many a man. prosperous for q time,
has gone down under a run of ill-luck.
and never again got on his feet. The
city abounds in men whom speculation
has ruined, without leaving them the en-.
ergy to earn o respectable livelihood
