GRAND STANDS BURN.
Ball Grounds at Philadelphia and
Chicago Scenes Of Disastrous
CONGREGATIONS.
IMMENSE CROWD PRESENT
At Chicago and a Panic Ensued in
Which Spectators Were More
or Less Injured.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. THE Phila-
delphia base ball park, one Of the finest
of its kind in the country, is a smoking
wreck of crumbling walls, charred tim
bers and twisted iron. The large sta
bles Of. the Omnibus Company General
adjoining to the west are now burning,
and the car stables Of the Thirteenth
and Fifteenth streets division Of the
Philadelphia Traction company and ad-
joining property are badly damaged.
The conhagration started between the
partitions in the ladies toilet room at
the west end Of the main pavilion Of the
ball park. The Philadelphia and Balti-
more teams had been scheduled
to play two games at the park in the
afternoon, and the players were either
practising in the field or in their dress
ing rooms. One of the bystanders
noticed a narrow tongue of flame shoot
ing up between the boards of the parti-
ton at the west end Of the stand. The
players on the field did not think the
! fire serious and several Of the bystand-
ers started to put it out. In an instant
the entire structure was a roaring fur
mace.
Stables Also Burned.
The stables Of the Omnibus Company
, General, which operates a line of omni.
buses OH Broad street, was opposite the
main pavilion on Fifteenth street at the
corner Of H~untington. The %omnibusses
and horses were allsaved, but the upper
floor contained large quantity of hay
and straw, which at this hour is still
burning fiercely and threatens to wreck
the entire structure.
While the firemen were making q
strenuous effort to save the adjoining
property the long lines of bleaching
boards opposite right and left field in
the ball park had fallen prey to the
flames and the seats and pavilions were
burned. The loss is estimated at
100000.

There Was a Weak opening for
 Stoeks-General Electric Was
 Weak Spot in the Industrials-The
 Market Left or Steady.
 NEW YORK, May follower cables from Lon don the poor exhibits of earnings by St. Paul for the first week of May and the Illinois Gen. tral for April, the demoraliz ation of freight rates at the west and belief that at least s. goo 900 gold will be shipped to Europe on satur- day, all contributed to weak opening for stocks today. The decline, however, was sur prisingly small in view of the unfavorable fac tors mentioned, and was much commented upon in stock circles, Louisville and Nashv ille and Illinois Central, which scored the greatest losses among the railways, declined a point each to 46A and 93, respectively.
 General Electric was the weak spot in the in- dustrials and dropped 13s to 351s The other prominent issues varied only fractonaly either way and the trading was light. The rate bor- rowers had to pay for Lake Shore and other &C., tive issues created little nervousness among the shorts, and whsn it became evident that the comparative heaviness of Louisville and Nash vile and General Electric was without influence on the general list, a movement to cover set in which gathered force as the day advanced.

THE POLICE IN DARkNEss.

Police Headquarters So Dark on

 most Impossible to do Any Work
 One of the Commissioners Secured
 Some Tallow Dips and By Means of
 These The Work of the Department
 Was Carried On-The supply of Gas

 chine.
 A spirit of economy has come over the city auditor and in consequence the central police building Wednesday night, had the appearance of being about fifty years be- hind the times, and was lighsed with the old fashioned tallow tips. For some time past the city has been endeavoring to 1pr- tail expenses in every concaiv able manner, and this economical move has at last struck the police department which, it was thought, was using too much gas. Hence, it was decided to reduce the supply.
 Acting upon this plan the services of a patent gas saving machine was secured and the machine attached to the gas meter in the cellar. The plan worked we'll in one respect. The police headquarters were Wednesday evening 80 dark that it was al- most impossible to distinguish the features of any one six feet away, and absolutely impossible to do any work up the books of the department.
 Shortly before 10 o'clock that evening one of the police commissioners entered | the police building and after succeeding in groping his way to ths desk of the officer ! Tn charge inquired of Sergeant Crocker as to the cause of the dingy appearance of
 the quarters. In reply Sergeant Crocker
 pointed to the gas jets throughout the building, from each of which a dim, eickly 1 flame, about equal To half of the light giv- en the cheapest kind of a tsllow dip was
 issuing. "Well," ejaculated the commis
 sioner, "this certainly Is @ sam
 pie of a penny wise and pound
 foolish principle. am firm 1 not think much of any such plan as re. ducing the lights. Why you can hardly
 see the features of prisoner when | brought up to the desk. Never mind we'll l fix this thing, for tonight and to o'morr ow we will see whether or not such an ar l rangement will bs in operation. I am a member of the finance committee and as | such believe have the power to expsnd at least few pennies so that the work of the department can be dons properly and l well"
 With this trite speech the commissioner left the police building and few minutes | later returned with both hands full of tsl- lo@ candles, which he divided equally be. | tween the sergeant at the desk and the re. porters who were writing by the eense oi | feeling at table in the patrolmen's qusr. tera. By means of this temporary light the work of the department was carried | on.
 The light in the barn was so dim that fl
 was almost impossible, in the language ot Patrol Driver Blake, Ito ses the horses
 big as they sre."
 It is believed that the police commis
 sioners at their next meeting will take thu
 matter in hand, and unless mere light ii furnished in the interim will imm eoiatel,
 order the removal of the alleged gas-sav ing machine.

Lean and Plump Contrasted
Artificial Digestion.

Natural foods are as a rule insoluble. They must be dissolved before they can be absorbed Digestion is the dissolving of food in our mouth, stomach and fntestines. It Is done by special ferments prepared by special organs
 A great deal of energy is used up In digestion. Well people can spare the energy, sick people can't. People who haven't sufficient energy suf- fer from indigestion.
 It's plain that Psskola, which is an artihcially digested food, will save a sick person good deal of energy.
 Artificial digestion is the dissolving of food food made of grains and fruit that has been di- gested in this way. It also aids in the digestion Sick people need all their energy to get well; They should take Paskola. Thin people spend worry. Paskola will make them fat without giving their digestive organs any work.
 Paskols is an ideal natural iattening food Ii is more. It is . natura, tonic food that does not create false, new energy, but helps you to bus band what you have.

 I say it is food fully capable of doing even more good than for which iG is advertised Cdys pepsia).
 consider it simple duty to tell what it is doing for me, that the discoverer may be encouraged and assured of its marvellous value.
