The Western settlers Specific.

Carelessly picking up.a newspaper the

above title. 1t turned out to be puff: of
the marvellous virtues of some patent
medicine. But our thought ran on some
thing like this: A "specifc" is a sure
cure. What are some of the ills of the
Westesn settler, for which he needs a
sure cure? Well: homesicknese, dis
content with his situation, dullness from
running in one groove, seeing no new
faces, getting behind the times, and be-
ing hidebound IN his opinions. For all
these there is no specific" so reliable
as travel. Is the wife discouraged and
homesick? Send her on visit to the
old home. Do you think the people
back East are having better times than
you? Go back and take look around
for few weeks. Do you think your
opinions are the only ones that are
about right? Get out into the world and
see how many people there are who
know more than you. In.short, travel,
get out of your shell, mingle with the
world. In whatever direction you 60,

HEAVY FIRE LOSSES.
Large Buildings and Their Contents De-
StrOyed in Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, July S.-A little after 10
o'clock tonight fire broke out in the SUBJ
basement of an immense building at Fourth
ana Elm streets, owned by William Hooper,
banker. and occupied by A. E. Burkhardt
q Co., manufacturers and dealers in furs.
The building had 70 feet frontage on Fourth
street and extended $50 feet back. The front
was seven stories high and at the rear had a
height of eight,and IL half stories. 1t alsoe ex-
tended two stories under ground, was nearly
new, and valued at about S300,O0O. Mr..
BuTkhardt tonight could only give a
rough estimate of the value of the
stock in the building. 1t was, to
the best of his belief, between 100000 and
SIOO.OO0. In addition to his own immense
stock he stores great quantities of valuable
Iurs Tor citizens every summer, and these
were all In the burning building. After the
start of the fire the entire department of the
city was called out Dense volumes of
smoke at first filed the streets, then with a
sudden burst flames came through the roof.
Inc walls soon began TO crumble, and the
Duilding anu contents became an irretriev-
able loss. The Fire Department devoted
It's whole attention to prevent the fire from
spreading to valuable adjacent property
which was greatly endangered.
Inc fourth-street frontage of the building
was occupied by Grlershoffer & Co., dealers

stock was valued at $4,000, of which about
Sl25, 600 was saved. The loss was covered
by insurance. The Elm-street wall fell
at about midnight, and half an hour
later the Fourth-street wall fell on
the roof of the paper manufacturing
conpany's tnree-story brick building east
of it. The fine stock of paintings,
engravings, frames and holdings was COM
pletely ruined. and the walls OF the build
ing were crushed out into the street. The

was kept from communicating to the
crushed buildings. At 80 o'clock it was

true that here in this benighted land. at

men closer one to another, there are found
Americans, and not few, who do not scruple
to lnsinuate, nay. openly avow, that these
two representatives of North America are
utilizing their temporary power for the pur-
poses OF speculation, and that the detention
OF the Itata in San Diego, at the request OF
the American Minister, was nothing more
than an exchange brokers' ruse. hand
somely paid for by the ingenious originator,
and furthermore, that these bearers of the
stars and stripes are aiding and abetting by
every means in their power, the grasping
avarlce OF dictator and despot."

PERKINS HAS ANOTHER INNING.

How He Made Merchant Angry and
Won Wager.
Perkins, practical joker. is again in the
city. This time he rerpetrated a new ver-
sion of an old joke upon his victim. 1t was
evening, and Perkins, with friend, was
walking on the Bowery. Suddenly they
came upon a peanut merchant of the Italian
persuasion. Perkins was instantly the
father of an idea.
"I say, George" he said to his friend,
''1'll bet cigar l can make that fellow SO
angry within three minutes that he won't
know whether he's a-foot or on horseback.
And won't use any profanity or call him
hard names, either"
His mischief-loying friend accepted the
challenge and Perkins approached the
stand.
Gimme pint of peanuts" he said to the
merchant.
he received and paid for them.
"These are stale nuts" he exclaimed
after munching one Here, take 'em back.
l don't mean to be swindled in any such
fashion as this"
"Fresha peanuts" protested the Italian.
''Roasta him halfa the hour"
'See here. sir. you are trying to swindle
me ard you know it, you miserable inter-
feigned wrath.
The Italian looked at his tormentor in
dismay. He had never had such an epithet
applied to him before and he was at loss
to know how to proceed. So he kept silent
and stared hard at Perkins.
"Oh, you brazen old proposition, you ad-
verb, you participle, you c0nglomeration of
etymology. syntax and prosody. No won-
der you can't talk when you are brought
face to face with such a crime as this.
What do you mean anyway.syOu extrapeous
old adiectiye?" and Perkins scowled at the
unhappy merchant so fiercely that his eyes
dr6pped under the glare.
Yes, you know you are guilty, you COM
mon noun, and l have notion to have you
arrested"
Gradually the Italian had become angry
so angry that he evidently did not dare
trust himself TO talk-but at the suggestion
OF arrest and imprisonment he grew fright
ened. He offered TO take back the peanuts
and refund the money, but Perkins refused
to give them up.
mo-" he said, savagely, "I will keep the
peanutta, and use it as evidence, you cow
ering, cringing verb," and he walked
away, chuckling to himself at the success
that had attended his joke. Aud still Per-
kins is at large.-Philadelph Item.

words Fuller spat in his face. Rolme at
tempted to strike the doctor, but the latter
was too quick for him and hit MIN twice in
the face, knocking him back into
his seat. The screams of the
women attracted the deck hands,
who stopped the tight. AS the victim left
the cabin Fuller pointed at him, saying,

PETERS PENCE.
D A New Commission Appointed to Administer
the Finances.

ROME, July 8. Additional important
communications from an unusual but re-
liable source in regard TO the crisis in
Peters pence have just come to hand. 1t
has already been announced that the Pope
has dismissed Mgr. Folchi and the old ad-
ninistratioD, appointing in their place
commission consisting of Mgrs. Appoloni,
Di Ruggiere and Aloise Massella, to whom
was given full power. No one, however,
has yet been able to find out the exact
motive or the real secret of the affair which
brought about this important change. 1t
was known that Mgr. FOlchi's dismissal was
decided upon on account of the losses sus-
tained by Peters pence and because of i'm
prudent investments and loans which had
been made under his administration. But
that was all.
As Eolchi had placed part of the Peters
pence money in Roman speculations, which
at first brought good returns. and only
lately decreased in value. the actual losses
are not great.
Briefly, the situation is about as follows:
When Mgr. FUlchi took the administration
of the Vatican finances he had under his
control about 100000 lire. There is left
after his eight years administration about
31.000.000 lire, of which, however, 6.O00, COO
lire are still in danger, as it consists OF
loans made to Roman princes and of a
large number Of deprecated securities

RECIPROCITY.
Efforts Of Guatemala and Mexico in That
Direction.


CITY OF MEXICO, July S.-Advices re-
ceived here from Guatemala are to the effect
that ample instructions have been sent to
Senior Batres, the Guatemalan Minister at
Washington. to arrange for q treaty Of
reciprocity with the United States. An
effort will be made to bring about closer
trade relations between Guatemala and
Mexico and the United States, and to this
end Guatemalan Commissioners will be sent
to both countries.
NEW YORK, July SIN an interview by a
correspondent of the Recorder, President
Diaz says, concerning reciprocity with the
United States: The position of the Mexi-
can Government is Identical with what was
known as the Grant-Romero treaty. We are
willing to concede to our neighbors some
commercial benefits, but we require what
would compensate our sacrifices in this
regard. There are certain articles of our
production which, by the stimulation of q
reciprocity treaty. would undoubtedly
thrive and develop in time, but quite num-
ber of these articles are to-day quoted
higher here in the City of Mexico than in
most commercial centers of the United
States. Take, for instance, sugar. Its
price here, he it brown or refined, is higher
than in the United States. and, like sugar,
some other products would require time to
thoroughly develop for export in large
Quantities"
