certain kinds OF weeds will grow only 90

natures teachings, for they know that

STEAMSHIP BURNED.
An Early Morning Fire Give Hobo
kemss Department. Hard Work.

A fire broke out this morning on the
steamship Morrisania, which is dry
docked at Tietzen and Langes, foot of
Fifteenth street. Hoboken, and caused
over $4,000 damages to the ship and
gave the Hobolzen f1remen all they could
do to fight it for a couple of hours, be-
fore it was under control
The ship was only docked for caulk-
ing and would have been foated in a
few days.
At the time. the fire broke out, eight
men were asleep on board, and they
were compelled to flee for their lives
being able to take with them hardly any
of their goods.
The fire made big blaze for while,
and lighted up the heavens for miles
around At one ime it was thought the
pier and several adjoining piers would
go, but the excellent work of the local
fire department was too much for the
conhagration and it was confined to the
boat alone Only about $100 damage was
done to the wharf.
The boat is owned by Moses J. Wright
and Brother, of Thirtieth street, Harlem,
and was commanded by Captain Eras-
tus Geer. 1t was valued at $4,000. The
loss is fully covered by insurance. The
fire is thought to have originated in
the stern of the hull, although when
discovered the whole deck was ablaze
The cause is unknown.

A D1sINFEoTING PERFUME.

M. villou. of Paris, has devised a
method for dissinfecting the sickroom by
perfumes. He prepares special sachets
capable of diffusing the perfume with
which they are charged in any kind of
a RECEPTACLE All that is needed is to
place two of these sachets in recpta-
Gle containing little water.
The perfume (essence of violet, rose,
Jasmine etc., is mixed with oxalosac-
charic acid and inclosed in sachet that
IS colored white. A second, colored blue,
contains dry bicarbonate of soda. These
substances mix when the sachets are
soaked in water, liberating carbonic
around the room. Saehets with oxygen
as basis can be prepared by placing
one and binoxide of barytum in the
other.
The medical writer says
1.-THE process can be applied either in
therapeutics on hygenfe. The sachet
has merely to be treated with medical
essences or any volatile substance to set
free q constant supply to saturate the
atmosphere in which the patient lives. "

RANSOM REAPPOINTED.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27, 1S95-The
uncertainty concerning the case of Matt
w Ransom, of North Carolina, was
ended today by the announcement of the
ex-Senator's appointment to the posi-
ton of Minister to Mexico, which was
declared vacant by the decision of Act
ing Attorney General Conrad, that Mr.
iRansom's nomination to the mission
during his Senatorial term was uncon-
stitutional. It was known pretty gener-
ally in official circles yesterday that the
commission of Mr. Ransom would be re-
ceived at the White House today, and
some surprise was expressed by those
cognizant of the facts that it had not
been received. because their information
was that the commission had been
signed ON Saturday. That this under
standing was correct is borne out by the
date of the document, which came in
today's White House mail and is dated
August "a
