ORPHANS COME NEXT.
Bright Scenes of the Last Children's
Day at the Exposition.
THE VETERANS ENJOY AN EVENING
Among the Delights and Beauties of Pitts
bUrgS Great Show.
WONDERS THAT ARE TO.BE SEEN INSIDE

In was pretty thing to see the children
Of Allegheny City on their way to the Ex-
position yesterday afternoon. They were so
full of joyous anticipation, and they had
such perfect confidence that everything
Eould be arranged for their benefit, that
they did not think of anything beyond their
immediate pleasure. Yesterday was the
last ''children's day" of the Exposition, al
though a special invitation has been extend
ed by the management to all orphans homes
and charitable institutions, and the chances
are that the invitation will be eagerly ac-
cepted.
The scene in the main hall of the Exposi-
tiop last night was indeed brilliant 1t was
Veterans Day, and the old soldiers were
out in force. The Grand Army uniforms
swinkled here and there, and the CHEEKY
greetings of the old comrades resounded
through the hall in a continual stream of
good fellowship. There was very inter
esting programme by Colonel Cappa, and
the music was heartily enjoyed. A medley
OF Stephen c. Fosters songs was one OF the
numbers that was much applauded Battery
B in their sword drill called forth tumult-
nous applause. To-day will be Ladies'
Day, and Thursday German Day.

WARNED BY THE PARK PLACE WRECK.
Firemen Do Cautious Work at a Great
Blaze in New York.

Firemen Do Cautious work at Great
Blaze in New York.
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Fire broke out in
the Commercial Advertiser building at 9:15
this morning In 10 minutes the fire had
gained such headway that it was beyond
control. The flames were first seen busting
from the windows on the second floor occu-
pied by Gibbs tailoring establishment.
There were many people in the building
and some of them had to slide down the fire
escape for life. On the second and third
floors of the building was the printing
Office Of Douglass TAYLOR. There were
heavy presses on both floors, and as the
flames shot up the air shaft the oil-soaked
flooring under the presses became lgnlted
and blazed up like so much tinder.
The fact that there were heavy printing
presses on the second and third floors, and
that they were expected to fall through the
floors, greatly hindered the work of the fire.
men, who, mindful of the Park Place disas-
ter, hesitated to get too near the blaze.
There were numerous narrow escapes. At
1920 the fire was under control. AT 1885
the outer walls of the entire Fulton street
front fell with crash, and so great was the
conclusion that windows were shattered in
the Bennett building, but no one was IN
Jured. The total loss on stock and building
is estimated at S400, 900, most of which is in
sured. There are estimates which place the
loss between $500, 200 and $3.50, 900. A lot
of loose diamonds which were on the tables
of diamond workers in the building were
lost They were valued at several thousand
dollars

the custom of the Indians for years past at
this season of the year to catch fish in the

verized buckeye root, which is a deadly

the water, with the result that all cattle
which drink of it sicken and die Within
