WIPED OUT.
A Swiss Town Almost Entirely
Destroyed
BY a CONFEDERATION,
Which Spread FuriOusly Through the
Town
DESPITE EVERY EFFORT.

Building After Building Caught and
Crumbicd Three Thousand People
Homeless.
PARIS, Oct. 26--A most disastrous fire
has destroyed the hourishing town Of
Meiringer, in the canton of Berne,
Switzerland. The fire started in a
house, and owing to prevailing high
wind, gained rapid headway, spreading
furiously through the entire town.
Despite every effort building after
building was caught and crumbled. All
the population except the children, aged
and helpless, joined in fighting the
flames, but the most heroic labor was
in vain and so swiftly did the fire leap
from point to point that it was with the
utmost difficulty that the workers
avoided being caught in the fiery food.
Post office, town hall, railroad station,
hotels, shops and houses went down like
stacks of hay.
The flames curled fercely around the
church, and the devout Switzers made
one more rally to save their venerated
place of worship Almost as If by o
miracle the fire was borne by the gate
in another direction snd the church es'
capped destruction. Besides the church,
the Hotel Savage and three houses are
all that is left standing The poor
weavers of the town saw all their prop
erty disappear. The wind carried the
flames into an adjoining wood, where
the fire gradually lost its fury and died
out More than three thousand people
are homeless

Some idea of the magnitude of the
postal service may be gathered from
the fact that the combined length of the
railway postal routes of the country is
la, 557 miles, while the transportation
of mails on those routes in 1890 reached
the enormous total of 1856, 575, 1884 miles.
Germany, which comes next, only has
"a, 522 miles and total transportation
OF 80, 267, 900 miles per annum.
But while our railway service is one
of great magnitude there are the star
route and steamboat services, which
extend over 251, 792 miles, with total
annual transportation of over $4,000,
600, 600 miles To carry on successfully
this immense service requires the work
of over 80, 900 persons. The postal cor
respondence of this country with for
eign lands falls little below that of
Germany. OF the 10000, 900 pieces
sent abroad during 1890, 70, 900, 900 were
carried by vessels of foreign register. -

A Gypsy Queen.

She says she's English, and she must
be. for her accent is decidedly Cock
ney. She says she's the seventh
daughter of a seventh daughter, with
no SONS between but such a run OF
girl babies is a little less credible. Her
tents are up in the shelter of a clump
of trees on Nostrand avenue, Brook
lyn, just beyond the boulevard. There
are only two of them, for she hasn't a
numerous following.
But there is wagon with bravery OF
fresh paint and varnish that is verita-
BILE house on wheels. One tent is a
parlor, or perhaps one should say q
throne room. It has a gay hammock
slung in it and. gay mats on the board
floor.
Queen Patience has black curly hair
and dark eyes, and she wears a scarlet
gown. She has a scarlet kerchief over
her head, and she looks picturesque,
though her employment is not royal {;
when she's not telling fortunes she's apt
to be washing.
Shephas tub out of doors under a
maple. Really, washing's not such bad
work when the tricky winds rustic the
leaves and the locusts and grasshoppers
are vocal; for, alasl the times change
and faith grows dim, and it's not now
such very profitable work to lift the
veil of the future. New York Re
