THE NEW Work FIRE.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-A careful estimate
of the big fire here last night places the
total loss at Sj61, 900, more than half OF
which falls upon the insurance COMPANIES.
Never in the history of the fire department
of this city were the members called upon
TO battle with such fierce flames. SO far
there is no plausible explanation given OK
the origin of the blaze. There is a supposi-
ton, however. that cigar thrown care
lessly away while still burning was the
cause. Then, again, il is said that there
was some smoke seen in the Fifth Avenue
theater during the evening which could
not be accounted for; but this Mr.. Miner
positively deuies.
Prof. Hermann says the fire started in
the super room OF the Fifth Avenue
theater When the fire was at it, height

not so badly damaged after all. Prot.

punishment Of starvation or an artificial

PHYSICIANS HAVE FOUND OUT

That a contamination and foreign element
in the blood, developed by indigestion, is
the cause of rheumatism. This settles
upon the sensitive sub-cutaneous covering
of the muscles and ligaments of the joints,
causing constant and shifting pain, and
aggregating as a acalcareous, chalky deposit
which produces stiffness and distortion of
the joints. No fact, which experience has
demonstrated in regard to HOstetters
Stomach Bitters, has stronger evidence to
support than this, namely, that this medi-

formidable and atrocious disease, nor is it
less positively established that it is prefer

you keep a directory here?"
Again the head shake was repeated,
and then | sought for an explanation.
'You see, ," said the druggist, 1--WE are
right in among all these large dry goods
stores, and as their customers are mostly
ladies of more or less leisure, our place
would be fairly overrun with women all
day long If we had directory there in
the window.
''Yes," he went on, 1--WE did keep a di-
rectory once. but il got TO be such an in
tolerable nuisance that we either had TO
stop it or close out our business. be-
heve," said the druggist. ''that some
women like TO go into drug store and
look over the directory. Not. mind you,
because they really wish TO find out any
addresses, but simply from pure cussed-
ness. Maybe they think it looks bust
nesslile. And then, you know. drug
store is great place Of rendezvous for
the ladies who do shopping, and study
ing over a directory helps them to kill
time if the other party IS late.
You have no idea, he went on, 'of
the number of women who stop in here
every day and ask foolish questions.
Why, sometimes when l tell them we
don't keep a directory they ask me
whether | know where so-and-so lives,
and a thousand and one questions be
sides that might be answered in the di-
rectory, but which they never stop TO
consider. And then these women come
in here and want TO leave their bundles
while they DO their shopping elsewhere.
They hold regular conversation bees, and
interfere with customers passing in and
out. and fairly worry my life out with
their petty questions and annoyances.

couLpANp THE ROCK ISLAND.

OMAHA, Jan. 3.-The local agent of the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific road
says that under his company's contract
with the Union Pacific, which goes into
effect Sunday next, he will undertake to
run the Chicago train over the Union Pa
cific bridge into this city, unless the latter
road locks the switches or takes some
some other means of preventing it.
BEATRICE, Neb., Jan. 3.-The Union
Pacific railroad, presumably anticipating
that the Rock Island might attempt to
start train from this city toward Omaha
over the Omaha and Beatrice line, and
thus force passage over the bridge at
that point, has put in a derailing switch
at the intersection of the two roads in this
city, and has placed a constant guard
over it.

The profits of the Troost estate, OF which
Donnelly was trustee, including the ellis

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3-FollOwing is the
weather crop bulletin issued 10y the signal
service for the month ending Dec. 81, 30:
The month Of December was warmer
shan usual i'm all districts. except on the
Atlantic coast and IN tie lower lake re-
Cion. where the mean temperature was
slightly below the normal In the extreme
northern portion of New England. how
ever, the month was unusually cold. and
the mean monthly temperature at East
port WAS seventeen degrees below the nor
NAL. and that at Portland six degrees
below. The month was warmer in the cen
tral valleys, the departure from the nor
mai bclng slight i'm the Mississippi valley,
and more marked in the Missouri valley,
where the mean monthly temperature
ranged from ten TO sixteen degrees higher
than usual
During the mouth OF December there
was less rain than usual generally through
out the southern states. the central valley
and lake region, though the month closed
with an extended storm which caused
heavy rains throughout the central valleys
during the night OF Dec. 81 These rains
will doubtless furnish sufficient moisture
70 break the droughty conditions previous
IL yreported in the wheat region OF the west.
An excessive rainfall occurred during the
month IN New England. the middle At
lautic states and over the greater portions
Of North Carolina ana Tennessee. On the
Pacific coast large deficiency in rainfall
il reported from Oregon. where only about
one-balf the usual December rainfall &C.

Very light SHOWS are also reported from
Minnesota aud toward Montana, aud
heavy SHOWS at the eastern extremity OF
Lake Superior The ground l. bare over
the entire winter wheat regiOn, with an
indication, however, tnst the present cold
wave will be sttenGed by SHOWS in that
region during the night of the nrst.
GENERAL REMARKS-Ihe absence O;
moisture and unusual high temperature
in the Central valley has left the wheat
crop in a less favorable condition than
was reported al the first OF December, The
heavy rains which are DOW prevailing over
