BLAZE AT FRISCO.
Many Buildings Burned, Causing u
Loss of 81, 100000.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-The most dis
astrous fire in many years broke out here
about o'clock this evening, in box fac
tory at the corner of Fifth and Bryant
streets. A strong south wind was blowing.
and the flames spread rapidly. The entire
fire department was Immediately called out.
and for four hours the firemen had such a
battle with fire as seldom falls to their lot.
They could do nothing to stop the progress
of the confiagration. and only timely
change in the wind, which swept the flames
back over. the burned district, saved the
entire district south of Market street from
destruction. Although many scores of
buildings were burned, the monetary loss
was not large, as the fire was kept away
from the richly stored warehouses in the
district, and only cheap frame structures.
occupied by poor laboring people and small
manufacturers were damaged. The loss will
probably be between 100000 and $1,000 600.
with very little insurance, as the insurance
companies have long avoided taking risks
in that section. 1t was the worst fire
scare that San Francisco has had in
many a day, and the most alarming re-
ports of the progress and magnitude Of the
fire were current throughout the city. AS
1t was the flames wiped out one entire
square and made holes in surrounding
blocks. Probably one hundred poor fam
lilies have been made homeless, besides los
ing all their possessions. Another hun
dred or more of small manufacturing es-
tabiishments, such the furniture fac
tory, machine shops, ETC., have been de-
stroyed. Three big wineries, containing
millions of gallons of wine. wool ware
houses. freight houses. railroad yards.
docks, lumber and coal yards had narrow
escapes.
One fatality has been reported. Miss
Gilroy was covered with burning oil and
perished.
Later estimates place the losses at ST.
100000, with a probability that it will
amount to s,5oo.OOO The greater part of
four blocks was consumed.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi. June 27-The
most disastrous fire which ever visited
Minneapolis accomplished it's work of de-
struction and death tonight. Within an
hour after the alarm rang in, at II o'clock,
six firemen paid the penalty of death for
their faithfulness in trying to save the
property of others. The dead are:
JOSEPH HAY. truck No. ,.
WALTER RICHARDSON, hose No. 6.
FRANK RULAINE. lieutenant of hose
JOHN HORNER. truck No. 3.
BERT THOMAS. hose No. 10; died on way
NEW MEMBER of engine company No.
IA unidentified.
Several others were seriously injured, and
it is thought that there may be still more
dead who have not yet been extricated
from under the ruins of the walls which
fell and crushed them. The seriously in
jured, so far as known. are:
ED THIELEN. lieutenant of hook and
CAPTAIN CALDWELL. engine company
No. G.
The property loss consisted of the entire
demolition of the building occupied by Nc
Donald Brothers, dealers in crockery. china
ware, glassware. silverware and gas fixtures
The building was of four stories, brick
walls and wooden interior framework, and
was we'll stocked. The fire originated in
the boxes and packing stored in the rear
of the building. and was beyond the power
OF the fire department to control AT few
mirtites before midnight the walls fell, one
side wall falling in and the other falling
out into the alley, where the fremen were
at work. The total loss will aggregate over
100000; insurance unknown.
The first evidence of the coming disaster
was the discovery of smoke from the rear
portion of the building at 10:i0 o'clock. For
nearly half an hour the fire burned within
the walls and roof of the building. 1t broke
out first on the alley nearest Third street.
The fremen could clearly see that the
flames were under full headway in the back
part of the building. So the great store
stood for nearly twenty minutes q vortex
of flame, within a dark exterior.

The Wisdom OF il all.

Certainly there is wisdom for
two young people who have sworn
to love each other, 10 matter
whether there IS poverty or wealth,
no matter whether the days are
bright or dark, TO have q home of
their own. clearinghouse life is
bad for women, and l do not be-
lieve that any man has ever really
enioYed it. God created women
to make homes-to make homes
for the men they love and for the
children whom God will send to
them. And a home must be
started at the beginning of this
new life. Do not wait for a big
house and many servants, but
make happiness exist in a little
house with one maid as a help. 1t
can be done. I know it can.
Dorothy is not a dream character.
She is a real live girl, with all OF
girls faults and all of her virtues,
but she is starting out right. And
that is what [ want all of my girls,
who got married in the sunshinny
months to do. Do not shrug your
shoulders and say you do not like
housework. Work is only dlsa-
greeable when it is badly done,
and from washing the silver and
glass to busting the bric-a-brac and
beating up a cake, everything may
be daintily done and we'll done if
you go about it in the right way
and with the right spirit. You will
have to be considerate and you
will have to be patient. You will
certainly make mistakes, but each
mistake is one step toward success.
Burden yourself with patience, con
sideration and tenderness; you will
need to make calls upon them
often and often. Then you will
gain so much. You will be the
happy housewife, the lady of the
house who has the right to dis
pense hospitality and good will; the
mistress, not only Of the house,
but of the heart of your husband,
because for him you have created
a home And that is a womanly
work-a better monument to you,
my dear, than the painting of a
wonderful picture, the writing of a
great book, or the composing of a
fine piece of music. From out a
home all virtues and all great
works may come. No man ever
made home. He does not know
how. The woman's brain, heart
and hands are necessary, and a
home is such a beautiful thing. Il
means rest, it means peace and it
means love. Make one for your
husband and let him find these
three great joys in its four walls

Steamer Bay State.

On a visit to the upholsterine shop of the
Portland Steam Packet company. PRESS
reporter obtained.these interesting facts in
regard 10 the upholstering Of the new
steamer Bay State. Nearly all Of the work
has been done by Mr.. c. Fl. Dickson. the
veteran Steamboat upholsterer, who has
had charge of this department for the past
fifteen years, doing work for all the steam
boat lines in Portland.
1t took IL. 500 pounds of hair to furnish the
entire boat, Mr.. Dickson using nearly IL .0UO
pounds in his part of the work. The hair
comes to Mr.. Dickson in the rope form, and
is UNFINISHED, picked and cleansed IN a
machine of his own invent ION. being the
only one in Portland. The hair which he
used if stretched in one rope would reach
from here to Boston.
The finest workmanship in the entire boat
is in the furniture of the ladies' cabin,
designed and n.ade by Mr.. Dickson. The
work is done at 9 Bradbury court, at the
landing of The Portland Steam Packet CON-
pany.
