Criticism of a Now Yorker.

The most insignificant atom in all ere
alton has its uses. A foolish little dirty
wisp Of straw may show which way the
wind blows. The bristle Of pig may
be utilized for scrubbing p,,rpopes. And
although it is hard to see at first what
possible cause so infinitesimal molecule
as that tiny bit of dried mp, grayish mat
ter known as tho brain Of Ward Meal
lister may subserve, certain it is that
even that apparently worthless bit Of
sponge may point u moral and disfYure
not udorn-a tale to some purpose. AT
the sight of the great prince OF bottle
washers and menu makers our scorn
will vanish. and we shall b.: lisping
cringingly. as heard q Chicago belle
murmur to New Yorker the other day.
II am afraid you find us very crude aft
er New York" That is the way to in
vite contempt. If we run to Ward Nc
Allister or after him and vie with each
other in filling his jaded nav with the
best our chefs afford. We shall be as bad
as he.-Chicago Post.

Tho Jersey Peach Crop.

A letter from Fle1nington, N. j., says:
Two hundred and ninety replies to 800
inquiries sent out to the largest peach
growers in this part Of the state regard
ing the prospects for this years crop
substantially report that the prospects
for very large crop are good. The cold
spring weather retarded the growth Of
peach buds until the late frosts were
over. The buds are opening now and
are healthy In appearance. In the year
of a full crop Hunterdon county has
yielded 1900, coo baskets. It is expected
that that number will be exceeded this
year. Similar encouraging reports come
from Warren, Somerset and Sussex coun-
ties, where the peach interest has great
ly developed in the last 6ve years.

TWO TOWNS DESTROYED.

Virginia and Merritt Wiped Out and
Other Towns Slightly Damaged.
DULUTH. June 20.-Accurate news of
the fire on the Mesaba range shows the
usual exaggeration in the first reports,
but the money loss will be greater than
first estimated. The first stories re-
garding Mountain Iron and Biwabik
were untrue. AT Biwabik only q few
detached buildings were burned and at
Mountain Iron only six buildings. At
Virginia the situation is as serious as
reported. The entire business portion
of the town is destroyed. About 80
houses are standing and $40 were
burned. Merritt is
Nearly Wiped Out,
only 16 buildings now remaining in the
town. 1t is impossible to reach Merritt
rs the woods are still burning about the
village. 1t was the only town the
newspaper men were not able to visit
and see tho exact situation for them
selves. The condition of the sufferers
at Virginia is particularly unfortunate.
Most of them are without shelter,
clothing is scarce and food, despite the
supplies that have been sent from
Duluth, is still scanty. Everything
possible is being done for them and
railroads reaching the range are carry
ing all supplies and provisions free. On
the whole range about $500 people are
for the time being dependent on
charity. In a large measure the women
and children have been brought to
Duluth.
Work of Relief.
At citizens meeting general relief
committee was appointed and it was
decided not to appeal for outside aid.
Between IS. 700 and Sc, 600 has been sub
scribed for the work of relief and cloth
ing and provisions are coming in on
every hand. Trouble is feared at Vir-
ginia from the character of the popu-
lace. AS in all mining towns the men
are, many of them, hard characters,
and lawlessness is anticipated. Police
Sergeant Slnollett and squad of Off
GERS have been sworn in as deputy sher-
ifs and sent to Virginia. The total
loss. rs estimated by those best quail
fed to know, is put at $1,500,000. The
insurance is about $1,000 Fires are
burning all along the range still and a
