Discovering Us.

A VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY. BY HAMI-
TON AIDE. New York: Harper and Broth
Mr.. Aide remarks of the American in
his story, Ferrars, that he was unusually
tall for an American" and that reminds
US of little story.
A British lecturer, at the season when
Americans are thick in London, once re-
ferred to the understood Americans" !"
when a splendid figure dressed in cloth
ing of clerical cut rose to it's feet and
Phillips Brooks, not then a bishop, re-
marked quietly: 81 am an American
and by no means small"
"You. sir, are an exception" replied
the lecturer.
"But so am l." said the late H. II.
Richardson, the architect. uprearing a
good six feet three of solid flesh.
"And l." said the late Lieut.. Gov.
Dorsheimer of New York, standing up, a
veritable giant.
The lecturer was discounted and the
audience burst into a roar of laughter.
Mr. Aides book is, however, thoroughly
respectful and appreciatlve in tone, and
his Yankees are not caricatures, at least
are not meant to be so, and the story OF
Miss Ballinger's trip to this country will
interest Americans none the less, in that
it is a social stndy quite as much as
novel.
Mr.. Aide lets Ferrars make remark
or two which seem to express the au-
thor's own view fairly we'll. "The best
types" he says to Miss Ballinger on the
deck Of the Teutonic, you will probably
ppominentiy ppe sSe; ef for%ard D nG' Rus1 We are
made up at present of odds and ends. You
are sure to get hold of some odds. The
ends require to be unravelled." This is
very sensible and true.
MIR. Aides book is charmingly written
and will interest. That it is not quite
American Is granted, but IL does no harm
TO be seen "as others see us'' occasionally.
But Ferrars isn't as fair when he de-
scends to particulars and repeats all the
stale stock scandals about our public
men and our press. We fear Mr.. Aide,
''ends" aud got hold OF some of the odds. I"

HEAVY LOSS BY, FIRE.
TWO THOUSAND PERSONS RENDERED
- HOMELESS IN MILWAUKEE.

Over Thirteen Blocks of Business Houses
Moved Down--Iive Lives I4ost-Six Mill
lions of Dollars Lost-The Total Insur-
ance Six Millions-Rclief Pouring in.
MILWAUKEE, Oct 29.-The scene In
the burned district this morning was one
Of blackness and desolation. A black
pail of smoke hovered over great area
relieved here and there by great tongues
Of flame Where last night stood the
stately business houses with their wealth
of merchandise, little homes Of the work
ing poor and all that goes to make up the
life Of a great city, was to-day heap OF
hot and smoking ruins. In the II hours
from 6 o'clock last night, was crowded
destruction that will take more than as
many months 10 repair, and much OF the
work wrought BY the flames can never be
restored.
Starting in the store Of the Union Oil
company, in East Water street, the fire,
swept before a fierce gale, consumed
over Is blocks Of business houses and
residences, and more than 300 houses in
all, caused the loss Of five lives and
$4,000, 900 worth of property. The total
insurance is estimated at $3,000,000.
The loss of life is 50 small Is to call
for congratulation. Last night hospitable
citizens threw open their homes to the
sufferers, and means are being taken to
provide for their immediate wants.
An accurate account tonight shows
that there were 4G5 buildings burned aud
3S5 families rendered homeless. Resi-
| dents Of the ward familiar with it's popu-
lation say the families will average seven
| persons each It is 4 conservative esti-
mate that $500 persons are homeless.
| Money for the relief of the sufferers
is pouring in from all parts Of the United
! States, and local business men are con-
tributing literally. Every one Of the
unfortunate Third -warders will be well
cared for. -.#
| The aggregate Of insurance carried on
| the burned property, exclusive Of that
carried by the Northwestern Railway
company, which has blanket policy, is
$3,2500O0 divided among about 17l
