today, armed with a stout walking cane,
that helped him to perform the Blondin
act on the elevated sidewalks with
great celebrity. l saw him In front Of
the chamber of m building. He
was half way across a siX-inch plank,
poised in mid-air, when he met a post
man coming the opposite way. They put
their arms round each other in a loving
sort of manner, and cayorted through
the second figure of the quadrille, which
feat had the effect of putting each on
his right side Of the plank. They bowed
to one another and passed on. By the
way, Ben was seated in one of the big
hotels, later in the day, agitating the
question of starting a salmon hatchery
in the ground floor Of the Worcester
block, on Third street.
The water has gone down several
inches since yesterday in the chamber
of commerce building, and a thick black
slime covers most of the magnificent
fittings of the lower offices. Men were
at work all day doing their best to
clean up the mess,
The electric light effect on the silent
sea that covers all the front streets is
very pretty and startling. The glitter
ing sparkle on the water completely
hides the destruction to the lower por-
lions Of the buildings, and throws a
beautiful glare over the shadowy out
lines Of the big stores. Passengers on
the elevated man-traps look like phan-
toms in this peculiar glow, while the
boats shoot out of alleys and down
stretches of tapping water every mo-
ment, disappearing in the gloom beyond
as quickly as they came. The scene
would be charming We're it not for the
knowledge of the sickening havoc the
daylight reveals.
There are plenty of rumors concern
ing the shaky condition of several large
First street structures, but up to the
present time 1 have not been able to
authenticate any of them. 1t is safe to
predict that the majority of the stories
about the collapse of foundations are
untrue.
The leading hotels on the upper parts
of town are all doing a big business,
and have been making money since
Decoration Day. People come from all
parts of the country, look round, and
go home next day to tell the folks
about it.

BORN. 0 MADE.

Weak by imprudence, are many stom-
achs. Puny people have, invariably,
weak digestion. The robust as a rule eat
heartily and assimilate their food. A
naturally weak stomach, or one that has
become, although not SO originally, de-
rives needful aid from this thorough
stcmachic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
The restoration of vigor to the delicate
is the prompt effect of a ecourse to this
professionally sanctioned and universal
ly esteemed promoter of health. Ner-
~vousness-a symptom of chronic indi-
gestion-is overcome by it. So are liver
complaint and constipation. Incipient
rheumatism and kidney trouble it de-
feats thoroughly, and it constitutes an
efficient defense against malaria. But
in order that the full benefit derivable
from its use should be availed of. 1t
should not be used in a haphazard way,
but continually. The same suggestion
holds good of all standard remedies.

OF the fiat house on the cor
ner of Park avenue and Fifty-third
street. awakened the neighbOrhood OF
this usually quiet residential locality
at 800 o'clock this morning.
The fire box being out of order. caus-
ed a delay of at least 10 minutes in the
engines getting to work.
The flames spread with great rapid
tv ana a second alarm was at once
sounded.
On the top floor the only tenan was
Mrs. Donohue. and with her was her
two-year-old baby boy, Hurbert, and
her four-year-old daughter, Julia.
Her husband was absent at the sea-
shore. Mr.. Elmer E. Decamp, who oc-
cupied the floor underneath Mrs. Don
ohue, rushed upstairs and told her to
run for her life. AS quickly as posi-
BILE he took her abies under either arm
and made for the staircase, but it was
too late to escape that way, as the
flames were licking it up. and presented
a wal Of fire through which it would
be impossible to pass.
She returned to her rOOm in dlSmay
and threw open a window on the Fifty
third street side. The floor was be-
ginning to burn her bare feet. The
smoke almost blinded her and her chill
dren. She became frantic. Dropping
little Julia for a moment h pressed
her lips to baby Hurbert and fairly
shrieking: MY God spare my boy"
cast him out of the window. In a sec
Ond She had Julia in her arms, pressed
her twice to her breast and then she,
too. followed her little brother. The
witnesses of this scene We're appalled,.
They stuck on the awning of the first
floor belonging to John \. Buck, a gro
GER, who by the merest chance had left
it down. The weight of the children
falling from SO great a height caused
the awning to give way, but it broke
their fall and they landed on the side
walk safe and sound. At this moment
hook and ladder No. ? came on the
scene. Mrs. Donohue could stand the
heat of the approaching flames nc
longer and was already on the window
Gill preparing to jump to what would
have been almost certain death, when
she too was rescued.

LONDON, September "a letter from

death of the King of Siam is untrue.
AS the story was sent from the palace,
the entire city is puzzled to understand
why the false rumor was spread. Some
say hat it was done with a view of
testing opinion. Even the foreign diplo-
mats in Bangkok are in ignorance of
the kings condition, beyond the fact
that he is alive. For years the king
has been taking choral in excessive
quantities. At times he has been in
sane from the effects Of the drug, and
natives high in government confidence
say that he is now barred in his apart
ments to remain there until he r~ecovers
from a choral spree.
