Explosions In Warehouses.

Mr.. Charles Il. Hill writes for st. Mich
olas an article on "The Perils of Fire
mans Life" After speaking of the "back
draft" that is responsible for many
deaths among flremen, Mr.. Hill says:
Another kind of back draft that is
greatly dreaded takes the form Of an ex-
plosion, and is usually met with in fires
in storage houses and large warehouses
that have been closed up tight for some
time. A fire breaks out in such build
ing, and, as rule has been slnoldering
for some time before it is discovered. The
fremen are summoned, and raising q lad
der they pry open an iron shutter or break
in door to get at the fire. The combus-
ton going on within the building has gen.
Grated u gas, and the moment the air gets
to this, through the breaking open of the
door or window, the mixture ignites. An
explosion follows and portion or the
whole of the front of the building is blown
out. Several accidents of this kind have
occurred in New York. one in storage
warehouse in West Thirty ninth street "a
few years ago, when the whole front was
blown out, hurting the 1remen from the
ladders and severely injuring large num-
Der. Another accident of the same nature
occurred shortly after this, in a large
Wholesale flour warehouse down town. In
this case 1T was supposed that particles of
flour in the air inside the warehouse be-
came ignited and exploded, but it was
practically another case of the back draft.
Several flrenen were manned and injured
in this case

1t is customary to hoist the national flag
daily from sunrise to sunset, but in
large cities there are many flags, or more
properly speaking burgess, that are hoist
ed only when the wind is in certain direc-
tions, SO that the wind will blow them out
over the street in front of the building on
which they are hoisted. These are big
flags, some of them of great size, bearing
the name of the business house from which
they float. Some of them are big enough
to stretch across the street. Such flags
would only be wasted If hoisted when the
wind would blow them back over the
building. They could not be seen there,
and they would soon wear out on roofs
and walls and In whipping around CHM
neys, and SO they are hoisted only when
the wind is right.-New York Sun.

MURDER on THE BARKENTINE
ENSENDA.
II. b. VI. S. Penguin Sails for Tanning
Island-No More Sugar Charters
Amount of Sugar In Sight.

The James Makee sails today at
o'clock for Kappa.
The Bryant has hauled into the
railroad wharf, where she will finish
discharging.
The Andrew Welch is loading sugar
at the Pacific Mail wharf. She will
probably get away for the Coast Oh
Monday.
There are 300 tons of sugar in
store and on board for the Commo-
dore. She will sail for New York on
or about the goth.
CAPTAIN Baxter of the Brenhilda re-
ceved orders by the China to proceed
to the Columbia River for orders, and
will sail tomorrow.
The James Makee arrived from Ka-
paa this morning, with so bags of
rice and the following passengers:
G. Fairchild, Mr.. Hofer, Miss Mars,
and Miss Shimaga.
The schooner Martha johnson will
sail in ballast for the Sound today.
The Fresno will probably get away
on Monday. and the Stanford on We'd
nesday or Thursday next, both in bal
last.
The Martha Davis will be ready to
take sugar by noon tomorrow. She
will probabaly get some from the
Mauna Loa, due this afternoon from
Hawaii ports. Captain Friis hopes for
quick dispatch.
The Penguin sailed early this morn
ing for Tanning Island, to continue
her cable survey work. Her otticll S
and crew alike were loath 10 leave
Honolulu, for they were handsomely
entertained during their stay in this
port.
The long stay of the China in port
is having demoralizing effect upon
the natives on the docks. BY some
mysterious means the natives manage
to secure a bountiful supply of gin,
and they are commencing to make
things lively.
1t is not probable that any more
sugar charters will be granted this
season. The mills still grinding, it is
expected, will turn out about 10000
tons during the next few months, but
that will only be enough to keep the
regular island traders busy.
A special to the Seattle-Post Intel
| ligencer, from Port Gamble, under the
| date OF August 1, says: a. JoInsoh
carpenter of the British bark Ensen'
da, was murdered this morning at
4:3O o'clock by 1. Tonnes, the cook OF
the same vessel. The instrument
used was large butcher knife, which
it is supposed, struck the heart, but
this will be determined when the au
topsy is held. There were no eye.
witnesses to the affair. Tonnes, see
ing the officers after him, tried to Sc
cure pistol from his bunk, but was
frustrated in the attempt and quickly
put under arrest. DR.. Marbourg was
sent for but Johnson died before he
arrived. Both men had been up al
night drinking, and had evidently just
gone aboard the vessel. The cause OF
the stabbing is unknown, but it is
supposed that Tonnes had some griev
ance against johnson. johnson was
known as a peaceable man, while
Tonnes has killed a man before
Johnson was married and leaves 6
family in Norway. Tonnes is German
and also a married man." The Ensen
da was here quite recently, and sailed
hence for Port Gamble.

THE HEALTHY WOMAN.

Aside from form or features, she
has an attractiveness all her own.
The bloom on her cheek, the elasticity
in her step, the ring of her voice,
her enjoyment of life--all these are
magnets which draw others to her
side. Wonderful and valuable as it
is, health is not so difficult thing
to obtain as some discouraged ones
think. Most of the troubles of women
arise from impure blood, impaired
nutrition, low vitality, and general
debility. Modern science furnishes
the most successful of remedies for
this ondition-namely

SHIRTS nADE TO ORDER
YANKEES and BEER.

In the year 1889 the State Legisla-
ture of Massachusetts, passed the fol-
lowing resolution:
In as much as the manufacture of
strong beer, ale and other malt drinks
promotes the purposes of agriculture,
trade and commerce; since they pro-
mote the cultivation of such grains
as are adapted to our soil and climate,
and since they thereby at the same
time produce valuable article of eX-
port, and because malt liquors, on ac-
count of their wholesome qualities,
strongly recommend themselves for
general use; since they form import
ant means for the preservation of the
health of the citizens of this State,
and protect and guard against the
harmful effects of stronger liquors;
therefore, be it
Resolved, that all brewers who
make yearly more than one hundred
barrels of beer shall be free from
taxes and duties for five years."
