something New In Peanut Roasters.

"Peauutta, machina roastedr' said an
Italian peanut vender in the Bowery
yesterday to group of people who stood
around small model Of working
steam engine, to which he pointed with
pride. The steam engine had little
metal manikin turning a glass cylinder,
and the engine pulled and turned out the
roasted peanuts in stream. The ma
chine looked too costly a toy for the
Italian to own. 1t evidently is an ex-
pertinent, and means an eruption Of pea
nut roasting machines in every sheltered
nook down town. The Italian did a fine
trade, the novelty of the contrivance at
tracing nearly every passerby, and
about one out of every five became a
purchaser. York Sun.

To he Seen Along the Great Northern ia
the Pacific Coast.
The six lady musicians who left here
recently after filling successful en-
gagement at the Milwaukee beer hall,
are on the coast. One of the ladies
writing to friend in this city speaks in
glowing terms of the scenery along the
Great Northern from the summit of the
Rockies to the sea shore. She says that
after ten years of almost continual
travel in this country and Europe she
never before saw such succession of
beautiful parsramas as is spread out be-
fore the passenger from the Rocky noun
tains to Everett, Wash. The snow
capped mountains OF the several ranges,
the picturesque valleys teeming with
fruits and grain and the ma jestic rivers
make the journey one never ending
round of sightseeing. From all accounts
the Pacific extension of the Great Nor
thern possesses scenic charms of which
none Of TIE other transcontinental lines
can boast.
This route to the coast is gaining
daily in popularity with the travelling
public and promises ere long to absorb a
ma ajority OF the cOastwise travel.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-South Chicago
was visited by fire yesterday second
only to the great confagration. The
fire started in three-story building al
the corner of Ninety-first and Superior
avenue, occupied as residence by Will
lam Gillis. 1t was caused by his daugh-
ter, who accidentally upset lamp while
heating curling iron. From there it
grew rapidly in volume, famed by a
gale from the west, and the flames ate
their way over block after block of small
frame houses until it reach the lake.
Within two hours after the fire started
1t had consumed at least five blocks of
the great industrial section of the city.
Hardly had these structures gone than
the fire was seen to be blazing in a
dozen places further east, brands being
carried long distances by the furious
wind, The assistant marshal in charge
of that districr, seeing that the utmost
effort of the department was necessary
IL the greater part of the town was to be
saved, notified Chief Marshal Swene of
the condition of affairs and twenty-five
engines were stated down from the
main portion of the city as soon as pos
sible. The largest fire boat, Yosemite,
was also hurriedly started out on thir
teen mile trip to the burning section.
Before it reached the harbor at South
Chicago the fire had eaten away five
blocks between Superior avenue anG the
lake and the Yosemite turned its atten-
tion to the immense lumber yard on the
river front.
Then the panic stricken people began
to return to where their homes had
stood, but in very few instances were
they able to find any signs of them.
Most of the buildings destroyed we're
light frame affairs and were occupied
almost exclusively by workmen of the
Illinois Steel company. Damages in
none of these instances was Of large
amount, but conservative estimates put
the aggregate loss in the residence dis
trict at 100000. The Sunday Creek
Coal company's loss will be S25O00O and
the Peck Lumber company, 100000.
The latter concern recently made an as
signment and had just resumed business
after making arrangements with its
creditors. The number of people home
less is variously estimated from 1000 to
5000, but it is thought that these fig
