company, Hook and Ladder COM
pany and Fire Company No. res
ponded to the call, and located the

cupied by Bryant q Sons,

a little work on the part of the fire
men the blaze was soon extin-
guished and the entire loss will
not amount to more than 800.
The most damage was done to
two-story unOccupied house adj

The fire originated in wood pile
and was evidently the work of
fire bug" Mrs. Baldwin. who
lives near by, was the first to dis
cover the fire and turned in the

THREE BILLIONS CIGARETTES
Is the Number Consumed in the
United States Every Year.

1
The annual report Of the com.
missioner Of internal revenue
shows that 3,000,00O,0OO cigarettes
have been made during the fiscal
year just ended, says the CONNER.
! cial Gazette. This is an average OF
about fifty to each individual. The
growth in the production Of cigar.
cites goes on year by year. \ de-
cade ago the number then
manufactured was far below a
billion. Like pretty much every
thing else that is done in this
country, the manufacturing facili-
ties are greatly increased by the
adoption OF machinery. Within
the last few years some wonderful
machines for making cigarettes
have been invented. one pattern
will turn them out an average rate
of 27j a minute. The patents on
these devices are vastly valuable.
One style, which may be well de-
scribed for the sake Of Illustration
passes along. an endless strip
of paper, the width O
which is just the length
of cigarette. The tobacco is fed
from above into little scales. They
drop as soon as they have received
the precise quantity required,
emDtying their contents upon the
Strip of paper, which is rolled,
| chopped off with knives and glued
neatly, all in an instant Of time
OF course, great many stimuli

them and conveying them
into packages, when are like
wise wrapped around them
ly mechanical cOntriVances
unaided by hands. The Russians
and Turks do not use any maChin-
cry for the manufacture of ciga-
rettes, the work all being done by
hand. French cigarettes are par
ticularly mild, because the tobacco
is stepped in water to make it so.
The details of the manufacture
of cigarettes are kept, to greater
or less degree, a secret by the man

Launching the Oregon.

| SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26.-Th6
day is to be made memorable in
naval annals by the launching OF
another great American cruiser
the Oregon. She ranks with the
English cruiser Blake, 5000 tons
the Russian cruiser Pamiate AZo-
va, 5000 tons; and the Argentine
cruiser Nueve de Julio, $500 tons,
all of whom have about the same
dimensions-from $50 to 1888 feet in
length and from A to 50 feet in
breadth, as compared to the Ore
CONS 34S feet Of length and 50 feet
of breadth.
In armament the Oregon will
far Outstrip any of the batteries
Of the above. She will carry four
l3-inch, four S-inch, and four 6-inch
Oreech-loading rifles, sixteen g.
FOUNDER and six l-pOunder rapid
firing guns, and two Gatlings, be-
sides twelve torpedOes, seven above
water. Now almost the heaviest
battery carried by any foreign
cruisers is that of the Russian
fleet, which carries two Pinch,
four 9-inch, eight 6-inCh, ten 3
FOUNDER, four machine guns, and
six torpedo tubes.
The Oregon mas been building at
the Union Iron Works here. Gov.
PcnnOyer and staff are to be hon
ored guests.
But the most important person
in that great throng on this i'm
pOrtant day will be young lady
who will stand at the bow of the
monster of the deep and say as the
last block is knocked away and the
first tremOr of motion manifests
itself:
Il name thee Oregon"
As these words are said, a bottle
of tiZzing, sparkling wine will be
broken against that bOW-a bap
tism of peace for an engine of war
and the young woman who said
the words and broke the wine will
be one object to divide the thrOng's
attention with the gliding battle
ship.
That young lady is Miss Daisy
Ainsworth, of "Roselawn," the
country place of the AinsWOrths,
a few miles out Of Oakland. But at
heart she is an Oregon girl, born in
the WebfOOt state, and having the
lar gest of her family's financial in
tereSts centred there. She is the
daughter of Captain J. G. Aims
worth, known in Oakland and San
Francisco as banker and cap
italist, in Redondo as the maker of
the place, and in Oregon as pro-
mOter of some of the states most
important enterprises.
Miss AinswOrth herself is
charming brunette personality, a
belle in the society of three cities
a I'd demolition in the novels of
hundreds of the poor. She was
born in Oakland % years ago and
came to Oakland with her father
when he transferred many Of his
business interests to California
something like dozen years ago.
Miss Ruth DOlph, daughter of
Senator DOlph, will represent the
navy at the launching, and Miss
Eugenia Shelby the city Of Port
land.

1t has been said till il says itself that
Whittier was the peoples poet. This IL
true; but he was more than that He was
the post Of broad humanity, and he was
the poet Of a living faith. His songs Of
freedom, which perhaps in his hearts
depths he cherished more than any other
phase Of his life's work, were superb out
bursts. He sang them as the prophets of
Israel spoke In their holy frances. The
spirit Of God constrained him. He was a
literary Hebrew. OF course it scarcely need
be said that he Was no HELENE. The Hell
lene does not trouble himself about
causes" In Whittier the sense OF moral
responsibility awoke his genius.
His "artless art" as IL has been well
called, was best developed in his later
years, when the freed slave and the saved
country gave an interval Of rest 10 that I'M

A BALLAD OF WOOlNo.

When pleasures paths no more allure,
And victuals cease 10 fascinate,
Then I'm In love past mortal cure,
In short-rve met another fate;
But long do not hesitate,
Kurdish mp my lovers art
And on this question ruminate-
How shall win the malden's heartr
l know loves path is insecure,
And naught its rigors can abate,
But I, in sooth, could ne'er endure
To travel at an ambling gait;
do my utmost, early, late,
To make her fancy take my part,
And on this question mediate
How shall win the Inalden's hearth
Isend her roses, fragrant, pure,
And loving songs perpetrate;
sit upon her furniture
And tell her OF my woeful state;
In hope that signs may indicate
That In her breast n shaft doth smart,
And give me cause TO jubilate-
How shall win the maiden's hearth
LENvoI.
Prince, thou art rich, pray liquidate
The bills | owe In every mart
For flowers and sweets, gems small and
great,
With them won the maiden's heart.
