A Large Fire Destroys Many Homes and
Causes Great Los.

Large Fire Destroys Many Homes and
Causes Great Los.
NORFOLK, Va, March pa fire that
burned for six hours occurred at Ports
mouth, making 90 families homeless
and causing 100000 damage. The fire
originated in Whitehursts Hall, on the
corner Of Green and Glasgow streets,
and burned the block to London street.
A high north wind swept the flames
across London street, and half dozen
small residences on the southside of
that thoroughfare were destroyed. Huge
brands were blown across the city to the
southwark and the,steeple of the Catho.
lie church, three blocks away, caught
fire. In less than half an hour the edi-
fee was but ruins. The flames spread
from the church to row of residences
on High street, and while they were
burning the flying sparks caused another
blaze in Newton, about mile away.
Assistance was rendered from Nor
folk, and while the fire was at its height
the militia was called out to protect
and aid the firemen. The occupants of
nearly all the houses destroyed lost
their household effects. The Catholic
church was erected at q cost of $50, 900,
and the total loss ON all property de-
stroyed will reach over 100000.
Several fremen and number of
spectators were more or less injured by
falling timbers and flying embers.

A HEALTHY WOMAN

indeed almost the whole category of
medical terms has bGen applied to
catarrh of some organ Of the femsls
anatomy. OF course these women will
take medicine, employ physicians, take
sll sorts Of byRienic measures, but still
continue to sufftr, suffer, suffer. They
drag wesrily about their daily tasks;
their nerves tingle and thrill with every
emotion. They soold; they are cross.

that their trouble is only chronic oatarrn
OF the stomach or liver, or lungs, or
pelvic organs, and treat themselves ac

catarrh wherever located. How many
times hes this sentence been printed in
scores and hundreds of papers all over
this country Pe-ru-Da will cure catarrh
wherever located. But still there are
people who DO not know this. The spring
