DISASTROUS FIRE.


Long Island city Suffers to the Extent OF
500, O,OOO-Two Entire Blocks and Fine
Catholic Church Destroyed.
LoNG ISLAND CITY, n. Y, July ga
Two entire blocks of buildings in this
city were destroyed yesterday morn
ing. The new st. Mary's Roman Cath
olic church, just completed at cost of
$1,000 is totally destroyed. The par
sonage was one of the first buildings
thoroughly gutted by the flames. The
costly new parochial school, which had
never been used, was also destroyed.
The flames started in Gray's refriger-
ator factory and spread rapidly through
the large stock of dry timber. A south
erly wind carried the flames and soon
the whole block, bounded by Jackson
avenue on the west, by Vernon avenue
and Fourth street on the south, and by
Fifth street on the north, was in flames.
Help was asked from Brooklyn, but be-
fore 1t arrived the entire block in which
the fire started was doomed.
After burning nearly an hour the
flames leaped across to the opposite
buildings of Fourth and Fifth streets,
and the firemen were powerless to check
their progress. These burned blocks
made up the business portion of tho
First ward. More than hundred fam
lilies have been rendered homeless.
II was long after daylight when the
fire was fully under control. 1t is inn
possible to get any idea of the individ-
ual losses. Conservative estimates place
the loss at over s7OO,0OO. There were
thirty-one buildings In all destroyed.
Two firemen were slightly injured.

The Fair.

Now that directors of the worlds fair
have evidently seen their grave mistake
made in opening the exhibition on Sunday
and decided to close 1t, we hope that every
individual will use every effort to patron
ize it. The congress of the United States
created the fair and appropriated money
for it, and the people endorsed it, and it
was not supposed the individuals that were
selected to ill the positions as managers
would seek to divert the true intent In
operating it. The directors have brought
a disgrace upon the nation and lasting
shame upon themselves by the weakness
of intellect; but as they have, in measure,
retracted let US all now go to the fair and
try and remove the stain.

They Repent.

From the Chicago Advance we clip the
following. which shows how Mr.. Butler
and Mr.. Dixon feel over the course they
pursued In advocating the opening OF the
worlds fair on Sunday; E. E. Butler, who
had formerly been earnest for Sunday
opening, said: Gentlemen, we have made
mistake. We have gone contrary to the
wishes of seven,yfive per cent. of the ex-
hibitors. We have miscalculated the de-
sire of the Chicago workingmen. We
have misjudged the sentiments of the
American people. Let us, then, reverse
our decision, close the gates of the worlds
fair on Sunday and honor the American
day OF rest" Another influential mem
ber, Mr. Dixon, who had previously favor
ed Sunday opening, said "When body
of men discover that they have gone
wrong, that they have violated the will OF
the people, Il is their duty in so far as they
can to place themselves in the right. we
are now convinced that the American peo-
pie revere their institutions, aud the sab.
bath is one of them.

Large financial failures are taking place

Large financial failures are taking place
in every city in the United States and the
end does not appear to be in sight yet.
Financiers advance many theories as to
the cause, but none are able to stay the
storm. History informs us that financial
disaters took place in 1887, 1857 and 1877.
Very few men are now Lying that trans
acted business under the former date, but
on the two lattes dates we haye no trouble
TO obtain personal interviews and still no
satisfactory explanation can be given. 1t
almost appears to be the natural results,
But whatever may be the causes II will
probably teach the business world the i'm
portant lesson not to take too venturesome
risks; invest in nothing but what the
probabilities are good 10 pay out; and then
il financial disturbances overtake the coun-
try the usual amount of distress will not
have to be gone through with.

NOT A MODERN INVENTION.

The Bicycle Said to Have Been First Used
by Young French Physician In 1866.
"The popular belief is that the BIZ
cycle is a modern invention, when in
fact II really dates back to the seven
teenth century" said DIR. T. c. Minor,
according to the Cincinnati Star 81
learned this one day when was max
ing some translations from the Jour
nal de Medicine de Paris. 0zaram, in
1894, in his Mathematical and Physical
Recreations,' tells OF a carriage, as he
calls IL, in which one can ride without
the use of horses And then he goes
on 10 tell of how laclSey sits at the
back, makes it run by walking alter
nately with his two feet by means of
two small wheels concealed In u case
Just between the wheels behind and
attached to the axle Of the carriage
This was the principle Of the veloci-
pede, so much improved since then.
But the priority of the discovery Of
the bicycle ! believe TO be established
without further argument or dispute.
1t was by a physician, Eli Richard, a
young physician Of Rochelle, France,
who made the first machine after
which our modern bicycle Is pat
termed. He was medical student in
Paris in 1896, and became one Of the
great physicians Of France. He died
at the age of sixty-one at Rochelle in
1905, and there is street in Rochelle
named for him, and there is now a
movement on foot TO erect bronze
statue, not TO Michaud, who II is
claimed was the discoverer OF the bicy-
Gle, but TO the true discoverer, Dr. Eli
Richard"

Communication was opened Monday
from Cleyeland east to New York and
west to Chicago by the long distance tele-
phone. The authorities in Cleveland
turned a deaf ear to the pleadings Of the
representatives of the company two years
ago for admission TO enter the city and the
result was the lines was strung connecting
Boston aud Chicago, leaving them out.
Later in the powers that be discovered
their mistake and sought another inter.
view, which ended amicably. The COM
pany then decided 10 enter the city by a
loop from Cuyahoga Falls.

ASPEN, Col, July 22.-The Aspen
miners have addressed long letter to
Master Workman Powderly asking him
to raise his voice in their behalf. Where
1000 men found employment two
months ago the mines are now closed
down and the idle men have been
brought face to face with tn" problem
Of how to provide their dependent
ones with the common necessaries of
life. This condition OF affairs is attrib-
uted to the dominating influence of Q

CURIOUS GROWTH OF RATTAN
Tough Wood of tho Climbing Palm Tree
Found In the Mnlayan Countries

Tough Wood of tho Climbing Palm Tree
Found in the Mnlayan Countries.
Everyone knows the pretty, light and
graceful chairs and other articles of
furniture made from rattan, but every
one does not know that the extremely
tough and flexible wood called rattan
is that Of the climbing palm tree. This
curious climber, which is more Of
vine than a tree, is said by the Phila-
delphia Times TO be one of the singular
characteristics Of forest growth in the
Celebes and other Malayan countries.
Starting with trunk little thicker
than mans arm, it winds through
the forest, now wrapping tall tree in
its fold, like some gigantic snake, and
then descending again to the earth
and trailing along in snakelke curves
until 1t can find some other stately
tree TO fasten and climb upon In its
pursuit Of light and air. The forest
Is SO Thick and junglelilse that it
seems impossible to follow the course
Of any of these serpent climbers, but
there is little doubt that at the last the
successful aspirant, which stopped and
cringed so long below, will be found
shooting up like a flagstaff dozen
feet or more above the tree which has
helped II to rise. A use of rattan
which Is unknown to those who have
not seen it in its native forest is as a
water carrier The thirsty traveller
has at all times a tumbler of cool, re-
freshing water at his command by cut
ting off six or eight feet of rattan and
putting one of the severed ends to his
mouth or holding it over a dish TO
catch the winter
