summer. This is not intended as a star

rivals have been duly and appropriately

Some days ago four of the happy

their purchases about the same time.

A Big Difference,

The only difference existing between
ourselves and the Americans is that
they occupy themselves with material
interests and the organization of public
wealth while we write verses on liberty
and sonnets to the moon as a solution
to our very terrestrial problem. We are
supporters and followers of ideals and
the muses., while they are stanch de-
penders upon reality and earthly things.
We are Of heaven, and they are of the
earth. Victory therefore cannot be
doubtful unless we change our tastes
and ambitions and temperament.-Ha

at New Westminster, S2,5OO,OOO.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Sept. 10. The town
of jerome, near here, was completely
wiped out yesterday morning by fire
entailing u loss of over $1,000, 900 in
property Eleven bodies have so far
been recovered, while score or more
are said to be in the ruins or missing.
The fire originated from gasoline
stove in cabin, and spread so rapidly
and fiercely that it was impossible to
save even the clothing. The fire was
confined exclusively to the business
portion of the town, and the open gap
intervening between it and the NAM
moth works of the United Verde com
pany saved the 1atter's plant; other
wise the loss and suffering would have
been terrible.
Where the fire originated was the
scene of q drunken carousal, and while
no demonstrations are being made
against the men who are responsible
for it, when the horrors of the deed
wear away from the victims, attention
will be given to the men who caused
it. They are said to be Italians.

THE FIRECRACKER.
How the Vicious Patriotic Symbol 10
Made by John Chinaman.

How the Vicious Patriotic Symbol 10
Made by John Chinaman.
All the f1recrackers come from China.
In making them only the cheapest kind
of straw paper which can be produced
in the immediate locality where the
crackers are made is used for the body
Of the cracker. A little finer paper is
used for the wrapper. A piece of straw
paper 9x30 inches will make Fl crack
ers one and one-fourth inches long and
one-fourth Of an inch in diameter. The
powder is also of the cheapest grade
and is made in the locality where used.
1t costs $50 to IT'S cash per catty, or
six to seven cents gold per pound. For
the fuse a paper Called leather" in
Shanghai) is used, which is imported
from Japan and is made from the inner
lining Of the bamboo. In other places
a fine rice paper Is used, generally
stiffened slightly with buckwheat flour
paste, which, the Chinese say, adds to
Its inf1ammability. 1t is not easy to
persuade the Chinese to exhibit their
modes of manufacture to a foreigner,
but Mr.. Williams, vice consul at Shang-
hal, thus describes the work as he has
seen it: "The straw paper Is first
rolled by hand around an iron rod,
which varies in size according to the
size OF the cracker to be made. To COM
plete the rolling, a rude machine Is
used. This consists of two uprights
supporting an axis from which is sus-
pended by two arms heavy piece of
wood, slightly convex on the lower
side. There is Just room between this
swinging block and the top of the table
to place the cracker. AS each layer
of paper is put on by hand, the cracker
is placed on the table and the suspend
ed weight is drawn over the roll, thus
tightening 1t until no more can be
passed under the weight. For the
smallest whip cracker, the workman
uses for compression instead of this
machine a heavy piece Of wood, fitted
with handle like that Of carpenters
plane. In filling crackers, 200 or 300
are tied together tightly in bunch.
Red clay is spread over the end Of each
cracker with punch. While the clay
Is being tamped in little water is
sprayed on 1t, which makes 1t pack
closer. The powder is poured in at the
other end Of the cracker. With the aid
of an awl the edge of the paper is
turned in at the upper end Of the
cracker, and the fuse is inserted
through this"

One Of the most earnest members OF the

active work. A year or so ago, when she
was nearing fifty years Of age, the time
when women must be most careful OF their

that she had reched critical period OF her
life, and must be very careful. His pre-

and other treatment proved unavailing.
At last DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People were brought to her notice, with In.
disputable evidence that they were helpful
in cases such as hers, and with renewed
hope she tried the remedy. Last March she
took the first box of the pills, which gave
much relief. She was determined to be
cured, and kept on with the medicine, UNI

to meet the Kansas soldiers and give
them a rousing reception. The Union
depot was handsomely decorated, and
large banner carried the inscription,

The late hour of the regiments ar

fierce wind, almost a gale, the fire,
which started on the water side by
sparks from Il passing steamer, spread
with such awful rapidity that ten
streets were blazing in three hours,
and only smoking ashes mark the
spots where scores of houses formerly
stood. Handsome blocks, banks and
churches went upin smoke. The ca

dreds of people are helpless and relief
is being rushed from this city.
