About 3 O'Clock yesterday morning
MI alarm was sent III from box Il,
corner Texas avenue and Lawrence
street. With his usual alacTity
Chief Grubbs was on the scene al
most before the warning had ceased
to sound. The alarm was turned in
by Officer McDufie, who directed the
chief to the locality Of the blaze which
proved to be the storehouse Of VIM.
Holmes, colored on Pickett street
Buffers hill. The fire originated
near the center of the building from
eau. es unknown. The flames quickly
spread 10 the building on both sides
&a- our others also succUMbol to the
elements. Of these three were the
property of Eugene Burgers, one his
residence, the other two tenements.
The two other houses were the dwell
ings Of Wm. Holmes and Geofge Will
liaIns. This was fire strictly among
colored people and the entire loss
will amount to about $1,000. OF this
the only insurance we heard Of was
$3.50 on the dwelling ot Eugene Bur
gers who is an industrious, frugal
and responsible colored man.
On reaching the fire the chief saw
Immediately the services of the en-
gines we're needed and hastened off
to order them out. The mud how
ever was too deep and they could not
reach their destination. The hose
men and hook and ladder companies
who had arrived soon after the chief
were put on the roofs of the adjacent
boases with buckets Of water by him,
aud in this manner kept the fire from
spreading forther.
On his way down after the engines
the chief was startled and somewhat
disconnected by box No. ", corner

MYTHICAL ESTATES.

A London dispatch says that the
United States Consulate is endeavoring
to effect the prosecution and suppress
sion of swindlers preying upon the
credulity of Americans who regard them
selves as heirs to unclaimed estates. 1t
is to be hoped that the rogues will be
brought to justice, but it is not likely
that there will be any lasting depression
in that peculiar and profitable industry.
Unlike most forms Of money seeking,
the mythical estate swindle appeals both
to cupidity and to sentiment There is
something intensely romantic in the
prospect of enjoying the millions which
some far distant and almost forgotten
ancestor accumulated by piracy ON the
high seas, or in the slave trade, or by
footing Indian palaces in the days of
liking Company" And, aside from the
romance of the thing, the prizes held
out and apparently almost within grasp
are bewildering in their glitter and
grandeur. 1t is no wonder, therefore.
that Ebenezer Jones or Tobias Brown.
who has earned living and saved few
hundred dollars, is carried away by the
alluring temptation of a big estate await
ing him over the sea.
There are always few preliminaries
connected with the operation of enrich
ing Mr.. Jones, and these involve the
depletion of Mr.. Jones' bank account.
When his bank account has been depict
ed, without any returns, to an extent
that awkens his reluctant suspicion, he
hears no more from the swindler.
As matter of fact there are very few
estates in England awaiting American
claimants, and not one of the claims
goes back for any great length of time.
All the estates said to be coming to the
descendants OF this or that early settler
of Amer ca are mythical. lit is thought
worth while to answer one of these
swindlers at all, he should be told to 90
ahead on the contingency of sharing the
fortune that he claims to be within
reach. He would probably not be heard
from again. The fortune he is after is
in America, not in England.

PRAYER MEETING HYMNS USED TO
sOoTHE FRIGHTENED CATTLE.

No one could tell what caused STAN
pede, any more than one can tell the
reason of the strange panics that attack
human gatherings at times. flash of
lightning, cracking stick, wolf S
howl, little things in themselves, but in
moment every horned head was lifted,
and the mass of hair and horns, with
fierce, frightened eyes cleaning like
thousands of emeralds, was off. Reck-
lessly, blindly, in whatever direction
fancy led them, they went, over a bluff
or into a morass, it mattered not, and
fleet were the horses that could keep
abreast of the leaders. But some could
do it, and lashing their ponies to their
best gait the cowboys followed at break
neck speed. Getting on one side of the
leaders the effort was to tuln them, a
little at first, then more and more, until
the circumference of great circle was
being described. The cattle behind
blindly followed, and soon the front and
rear joined and ''milling" commenced.
Like a mighty milestone, round and
round, the bewildered creatures raced
until they were wearied out or recovered
from their fright.
To stop the herd from milling, either
after stampede or when in the cattle
yards at the emu OF Cne "Trip, was
a necessary but difficult task. AS in a
stampede, it was death to an animal who
failed to keep up with his comrades, for
in moment his carcass would be flat
tened by thousands of trampling hoofs.
The human voice seemed the most
powerful influence that could be used to
affect the brutes, force being entirely
out of the question. As soon as the
milling" began the cowboys began to
sing. 1t mattered not what, so long as
there was music to it, and it was not I'M
common to hear some profane and heart
less bully doing out camp meeting
hymns to soothe the ruffled spirits of a
herd of Texas steers, a use which might
have astonished the fathers and mothers
of the churches "back in Gods country"
could they have known it.-Jwne Serb

GREEN MORRIS DIDN'T BET.

Green B. Morris was receiving con-
CALCULATIONS all around the day after the
great Brooklyn race, and as he spoke of
Judge Morrow, says the New York
Herald, his eye assumed merrier
twinkle than on ordinary occasions.
'How's the Judge this morning, Mr.
Morris?" was the natural inquiry.
"From the way he acts and eats his
grub l don't believe he thinks he's been
in horse race. He's as fresh as daisy
and fit to run to-day if necessary"
"He must have won considerable
sum for you outside the value of the
stakes"
'If you believe me, / never had cent
on him. The lads and myself backed
Strathmeath in the winner books, but
when he went sick thought it was too
much to expect to have another in the
stable who could do the trick. Pm as
glad the Judge won for Alec's Maj. Gov
ington) sake as anything else, for he's
good lad, takes pleasure IN his work
and is better boy than some of you
fellows give him credit for"
"Didn't he hit Pessara over the head in
the last so yards?"
"Of course he did, and so would you
or anybody else when you saw horse
being driven right on to you. My horse
was on the rails, whereas the other had
the track all to himself, but not content
with that he wanted to crowd the boy so
that he couldn't keep his horse going,
but it didn't come off, and that's the long
and short of it."

WAGES IN FREE TRADE JAPAN.

The British Minister at Toxic, in an
interesting report reviewing the progress
of Japan in establishing home industries,
tsuggests that, at the present rate of prog
ress, ''the Japanese will after time
hold their own with their instructors,
and without any assistance of protective
tariff shut importers out of their
markets." We are told that 'since 1885
the amount of yarn annually produced
in Japan has increased nearly sevenfold.
During this period-from 1886 to 1890
the impOTtations of yarn increased
steadily for time. Home consumption
and demand for export to China en-
couraged the supply up to 1888, when
the imports were nearly double those of
two years before. In 1890 the impor-
tations had fallen off by one-third, while
the home production had steadily in
creased 1t is natural to suppose that
this decline in imports is Immediately
connected with the growth of native
manufactures"
Further on, however, Minister Fraser
lets in flood of light on the secret of
Japanese ability to cope with the foreign
manufacturers I 1t is simply the low rate
of wages that prevails in Japan. Minister
Fraser describes as the advantages en-
joyed by the Japanese mill owner the
fact that she can keep his machinery
going through the whole twenty-four
hours, while he pays in wages the low
rates of eight pence day to men and
from two pence to five pence to women"
The equivalent in American money is
sixteen cents day for men and from
four to ten cents day for women. If
the mill operatives in Japan work six
days in the week the women receive
from twenty-fOuT cents to sixty cents a
week, and the men receive ninety-six
cents week.
1t should be remembered that these
figures are given in an official report
from the official British representative
in Japan to his home government, and
are no doubt the result of careful inquiry
and accurate information. If American
manufacturers should pay their employees
the Japanese free trade wages of from
twenty-four cents to ninety-six cents
week there is no doubt that they could
get along without fear of British COM
petition. But American manufacturers
have no desire to pay and American en-
ployes have no desire to receive the free
trade wages either Of Great Britain or
Japan.
