sPLENDIDLY FOUGHT.
j. W. Perkins s. Co.'s Drug Warehouse on
Fire Last Night.

Portland was saved from another very
| disastrous fire last evening by the skill
and good judgment of Chief Ball and
his assistants. Such was the statement
of insurance agents, who were on hand
almost as quick as the alarm was pulled
in, and so said Mr.. William p. Millay, OF
the firm of John W. Perkins & Co.
About 7.15 p an alarm was pulled
in from box AZ, for fire in J.W. Perkins
& Co. IS large three storied brick ware
house on the corner of Commercial street
and Custom House wharf Mr.. Millay,
at the time was in the counting room
working on the books, and young man
raped on the window and called out
You're all afire up stairs" Mr.. Millay
rushed out of the counting room to the
stairs leading to the second story and
found the smoke pouring down. The
chemical and Casco 5 were on the ground
before the fire alarm stopped striking
and line of hose was run up from the
chemical as quickly as possible. 1t was
hard work to get up to the fire, which
was situated in the front part of the
third story, the smoke was SO dense, and
the chemical hose was about twenty-five
feet too short. But a stream was put in
from Casco 5, directed with great judg-
ment, and by eight o'clock the fire was
out.
The room in which the fire caught is
filed closely with old packing boxes,
and it was with difficulty the PRESS
reporter, who examined the place where
the fire originated, could get through
the boxes and cases. The fire caught in
big packing case in which were dry
empty bottles, but how is a mystery.
There is no fire used anywhere near the
place. 1t was thought possible a rat
might have got hold of some matches
and lugged them there, but all is pure
speculation. The flames caught around
the post that supports the Toof, and ran
up to the root timbers. The loss by fire
to the building will be probably not
over thousand dollars at the most.
Hon. W. W. Thomas is the owner of the
building, and it is well insured.
The loss to the stock will be caused by
water, and how large it will be is mat
ter purely of conjecture but doubtless
large, for it must be remem bered that
most of the stock is covered only by
paper or pasteboard, and the slightest
wetting is fatal to the drugs. There
were many boxes Of cigars among
the perishable articles in the store, fine
soaps and fancy goods. There is an in
surance on the stock and fixtures of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 placed in
policies of $2500 and less in about all the
agencies in the city. Dow & Pinkham
had $31, 900 on stock and $1,000 on fixtures.
William Allen Jr. had $4250. There was
large insurance with Palmer, Anderson
& Co., and among other insurance was
$4,000 with Morse & Guptill, Warren Spar
row & Co., $500, W. T. Little $500.
Prentiss Loring $500. The other agents
had the rest

Bribing A Child.

1t is never wise TO bride a child to
perform a plain duty, writes Elizabeth
Robinson Scovil in an article on "The
Rewarding OF Children" in the Octo-
Der Dedies Home Journal. There
are many motives to be appealed to
and we should be cautious how we
substitute lower tor a higher one.
When bedtime comes it is often a
struggle for the small people to g. of
pleasantly and promdtly. When we
elders have to do things not at all
more disagreeahle to us, we indulge in
some murmers-audihles otherwise
and good deal of selfpity. 1t is not
to be expected that our juniors will
take up their burdens with more cheer
fulness than we do ourselves. Yet as
soon as they are old enough to under
stand anything they may be greatly
helped, or hindered, in doing it, at
is time for Charlie to 10 TO bed now"
ought TO he enough 10 persuade him
10 do SO without difficulty. But just
rs we ourselves sometimes fail to re
spond to the call of duty so there will
I've moaen.s when Charlie feels that
his desire to sit up longer entirely
overpowers his wish to obey, and he
refuses, What is 70 be done in this
,ase His mother can probably in
duce him to go to bed by means Of a
piece of candy, or promised pleasure
but the next timQ the question arises
he viii BIO less able to do right unaid-
ed than he was at first. His nind
will naturally revert 20 the bride and
40 viii want another. A quiet talk,
gentle argument and persuasion, i'm
pressing upen him that every one has
10 DO do disagreeable things some
times, because they are right, will us
ually prove olisctual (; if not it becomes
a matter of obedience that must be ell
forced even at the COS, Of pain. five
can enlist the will on the side of right
doing, so that the child shall conquer
obedience, we have accomplished
much. Let US teach them by every
effort in our power that virtue is it
own reward.
