THE LOSS NOT so HEAVY.

st. Johns N. F. July 9-The fire Is
under control this evening. Fifteen
thousand persons are rendered homeless.
The following streets are wiped out i:
Military road, Duckworth street, Prescott
street, Queens road, Cochrane street.
Cover street. Kings road, Cathedral hill,
Longs hill. A. meeting of the execu-
tive council to day twas resolved to
grappie with the great calamity that has
befallen the city, so far as they Can by
supplying those rendered destitute with
provisions and other necessaries of life.
The drill shed, Browning's bakery and
Houston's factory are being made ready
to accommodate the homeless as rapidly
as the work can be carried out, Sheds
are being erected in the park The fire
stopped at Water street. From Cochrane
street, west OF Brownings, once thickly
studded with dwellings,, there is nothing
but forest OF cbimneys. 1t is estimated
the insurance ON the buildings destroyed,
and on the stocks, will amount to $4,-
0O0, 1000, which sum will cover about
half the loss.

THE WIND BLOWING A GALE.

By this time the wind was blowing q

rlble rapidlty. Buildings situated some
distance from the burning structure

were destroyed without hand being
raised in an attempt to save them. The
fremen and people were completely
paraiyzed, and the fire did its work OF
destruction without stay. 1t was nov

Building after building caught fire aud

Scotch call "forespeaking" is regarded as a
sure sign that that person has an evil eye,
and Is, therefore, to be carefully avoided.
40 forespeak Is to praise any person or
tning extravagantly. In Upper Carniola if
you try to please by praising everything
You would olly succeed in convincing peo-
pie that you were very bad indeed The
same Is true of the Neapolitans and in sew
eral Others OF the Italian provinces This
idea, like the other. dates back to old heather
beliefs, for the ancients taught that extrava-
CANT praise was proof that the person Civ
log it was a despised enemy of the gods
and In league with the powers OF evil Ac-
cordingly in Southern Europe, where the
Roman heather worship has left its most
numerous marks, it has even proved dan
Rerous for travellers TO gaze intently at little
children or t. praise them strongly. On
seeing such an act by a foreigner the anx-
lous mother spits in tue child's face to
counterfeit the spell. Such gaze directed
to the woman herself is Just as much re-
sented, and often the woman will spit in
her own bosom, il she does not show her iu-
dignation by other methods, of which a
good, round cursing is one Of the regular
forms.
No doubt all of this seems to the readers
of the Times "a good deal ridiculous" but
it has left its marks on the civilization of
the world and even upon ours. For instance,
the next time you see red light or a red
flag at a railroad station, please remember
that the adoption of red as a danger signal
is primarily owing to the very odd belief in
the evil eye.

Under the Spell OF a Curse.

From the Fort Worth Gazette.
There is a young woman in Bonner
Springs, Kan. who believes she is under
the influence of a curse. She is a most es-
Unable young woman, but some time ago,
while suffering from a nervous attack, she
was accosted by tramp who came to her
door and begged for something to eat. As
the family had been SO bothered with
tramps, she answered him very shortly and
told him to get away from the place, or she
would set the dogs on him. The man in
sisted that he was almost starving, and she
slammed the door in his face.
About an hour later knock cams to the
door and she went there only to find that
the man had returned. This time he did
not ask for food but, as soon as the door
was opened, he began calling down male
dctions on the head of the girl. At first
she was inclined is get angry, and started
to call for some one to have the man ar
rested, but as his bitter words continued she
became terribly frightened, and, at last,
tainted, in which condition she was found
by her mother, who bad heard the noise.
The man had disappeared. During the
curse the tramp had called down a spirit of
unrest on her. and told her that he always
wished her to feel hungry and like wander
ing, so that she would know what it was to
be poor tramp.
The girl was i'll for several days after the
adventure, but is now in apparent good
health. She says that she feels that she is
under curse She Is restless, and spends
her time walking up and down about the
place, and complains of never getting
enough to eat. She eats very little, for her
stomach will not bear it, but she says she
never feels as if she had eaten anything.
Physicians who have been called in to see
her pronounce it case OF historical mania.
and think that it will wear off in the course
of time, if efforts are made to get the girls
mind from the tramp. The parents are
making arrangements to send her east to
visit relatives, but the girl insists that she
is perfectly we'll. except that she knows the
tramp's curse will follow her to her grave.

At the conclusion of the reading there
was silence for a moment-the report had
fallen like bomb and no one seemed
likely to recover from the shock But
when the meeting got its breath it adopted
the report, on motion of NJ. r. Beard
unanimously and with an "aye" that
meant business"
Chairman bray said he had been in
Sacramento forty-two years, but he had
never before seen profile of the whole
levee system. 1t would strike a good
many as singular that an official report of
that character had not long ago been
made. The committee had worked hard
and long, given over their business and
sacrificed time. 1t had been put to an ex-
pense of 500 or $3.50 and the association
ought TO meet 1t.
Peter Boil suggested that the petition
be at once started the money for the
committees engineers could be had in a
twinkling. The people could be trusted
to pay for that information. j. II. Henry
favored naming a committee 10 collect
the money and more, too, 10 meet future
expense.
Wells Drury favored sending the bin
to the Trustees, it was work OF high value
to the city and all should bear a part of
the cost, nonresident owners as well as
others.
Mr.. McClatchy opposed sending it to
the Trustees. The association ought to
show them that it was able TO do what
the officials ought to have done After
some further debate a motion to ask the
Trustees to pay the bill prevailed.
PUTTING COMMITTEES AT WORK.
P. Newman liked the report but
wanted TO go ahead now and not wait for
votes and bonds; the levees should be
examined and rodents holes searched
out.
MIR. Dray said the Mayor assured
him that he personally superintendent
such examinations and repairs each sea-
son.
Mr.. Drury asked if 800, 600 would do.
DR.. Briggs said that in the absence of
the estimate he could only say that $4,000
to $50, 900 would be needed on Y street,
and on Front to n from Y.
Mr.. Siller was pleased with the report.
He wanted action taken, even if il meant
special tax. He stood ready to pay
ii need be, but he feared bonds could not
be foated soon enough. The street bonds
dragged and did not sell.
Mr.. McClatchy, Mr.. Dray and others
explained that the new bonds would be
issued on basis wholly different and
avoiding an obstacle that had been en-
countered in the other case because the
assessment roll was too low
Peter Bohl said he wanted the bonds
issued. 1t was hard to get consent to a
special tax. But the money must be had
the city must protect itself. zone hour

low lots, would depreciate property
