BIG FIRE IN CHICAGO.
Flame. Sweep Over an Extensive Area
MANY Families Homeless.

Chicago. Oct. S1.-One of the most ex-
tenslve and disastrous fires In the his
tory of the northwest side OF the city
occurred yesterday afternoon in the vi
cinity Of Milwaukee avenue and Kinzie
street. The flames burned over a trian-
GUAR area covering the frontage space
of more than three blocks. destroyed the
homes of twenty-five families and men
aced residences and property of many
more.
The fire destroyed more than 100000
worth of property, burning two business
buildings and razing seven dwellings.
Adjacent buildings were vacated speed
lily and the contents were water-soaked
and partly destroyed by fire. leaving the
tenants temporarily homeless.
The fire broke out at 4:45 o'clock on
the fourth floor OF the Peterson block,
126 to IA Union street. occupied by Jes-
sen & Rosberg. The flames spread rap
idly thru the building, infiammable ma
terial furnishing excellent fuel for the
flames. Driving the firemen from the
building, the flames stretched across
Union street to the old two-story frame
dwellings, where they gained foot-hold
the firemen could not overcome. Forcing
its way further east the fire broke out
in Milwaukee avenue. damaging build
ines more than block away from the
starting point.
Burning southwark, several frame
buildings were destroyed along Union
and Kinzie streets The burned are ex-
tended from Kinzie street. between
Union and Desplaines streets, along
OF IA N
avenue. In Milwaukee avenue buildings
were damaged badly on both sides OF
the street, the fire even pressing its way
around the corner into Austin avenue
more than 100 feet east of Milwaukee
AS the fire spread, despite the efforts
of the thirty-five companies CHIEF
NIusham had summoned. the residents
of the neighborhood became panic
stricken. Hundreds of families moved
their household goods into the streets,
prepared to transport them to place of
safety if their dwellings were menaced.
In the Italian quarter, more than three
blocks from the scene, the streets were
crowded with residents, excitedly chat
tering to each other.
Thousands of spectators crowded to
the scene of the fire, which offered
thrilling features that one burning over
smaller area would not have done.
Sparks from the frame structures shot
athwart the sky, lighting 1T for miles,
and there were fears among citizens, oc-
cupying sections remote from the fire,
of n general conhagration. Spectators
crowded the tops of buildings, bridges,
railroad cars and vehicles in the hope of
getting a better view of the scene. The
putting of the Northwestern engines,
crossing Union street at its intersection
with. Kinzie street. frequently fright
ened the horses of the firemen and their
prancing caused several stampedes, in
which many persons were severely jos
tied and shaken up.
The fire burned steadily until o'clock,
when the firemen began to get 1t under
control. The wallis of several burning
structures We're toppled over and the
flames eXtinguished, this being the clos
ing work of the department.

Supposed Cowboy Is 4 Girl.

Baxter Springs. Oct. "a supposed
young man who rode a black pony into
town from Indian Territory was ar
rested by Marshal Black on suspicion
of being horse thief. Notices of the
theft of such pony came up from
the territory the first of the week and
the authorities have been on the lookout
The rider first gave the name of Paul
wellington, but on being taken to the
Jail confessed that she was girl and
that her right name was Pauline Well
lington. She said she is 10 years old
and that she has masqueraded In male
attire for five years. She was left an
orphan at II, without home, relatives
or friends, "and ! found it mighty hard
shedding in skirts she added. so I
just put on pants and became cow
boy. I've been all over the southwest
and have made an honest living, which
/ couldn't have done in dresses. That
pony is mine and never stole it" and
SO it proved. whereupon she was
promptly released.

THINK DECISION UNJUST.
Pullman Company May incorporate
Under the New Jersey Laws.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-The Pullman Pal
ace Car Company of this city is said
to seriously contemplate surrendering
its charter under the laws of the state
of Illinois and incorporating under the
state laws of New Jersey. The object
of the transfer is said to be the evasion
of the high assessment of taxes under
the new ruling of the supreme court
The capital stock of the Pullman
company is s74,00o,o0o. and as the
market value of the shares is $500 at
the present time-the par value being
$1O0-the assessable property of the
company under recent decision would
be $162.SO0,O0O. II the company were
to surrender it's charter here and go to
New Jersey Illinois could collect taxes
on only $7,000.00O of capital stock,
which represents the value of the plant
at Pullman, Ill, the only part of the
stock which would not be affected by,
the change.
1t is said that the management of
the big works considers the decision
just handed down by the supreme,
court gross injustice, to which 1t is
not willing to submit while New Jersey
offers q more liberal tax rate. The

THE INSPECTORS REPORT.
Gen. .. c. Breckenridge Files His Re-
port With the Department..


Washington. Oct. 31.-The annual re-
port of Inspector General j. c. Brock
enridge says that, while there are re-
ports Of harmony and good feeling
among the officers of the army. the ex-
preston 'all officers are thoroughly in
structed and efficient" Is not heard SO
frequently as before the Spanish war,
due no doubt, to an influx OF young
and inexperienced officers. Most reports,
however, are favorable. Some lack of
attention given by officers to their daily
life and duties Is noted. The report
conlmends the sagacity and ability OF
officers who have conducted civil AFFAIRS
instructed to them abroad.
The class Of recruits received is re-
ported generally up to the standard.
The discipline Of the troops is reported
generally good.
or the post exchange, the inspector
general says:
THE reports show that wherever
practicable post exchanges were N OPP

scribed rules and regulations were be-

Of beer was prohibited, while at others

sentiment OF the army on the subject is

GUM PIcKERs AT WORK.

Picking spruce gum and selling it to
chewing gum manufacturers is a
source of income for great many men
in the Adirondacks and other Northern
forests-guides and small farmers
while others made it business the year
through The gum appears on the tree
trunk like drops of wax. The gather
er, armed with a long pole on the end
of which is fastened a can and SHARP
chisel, cut loose the chunks of gum,
which fall into the can and are trans
ferred to a basket or bag. The gather
ers in winter will travel on snowshoes
ten or fifteen miles through the forest,
sleeping at night in some old hunter s
deserted shack. There are three kinds
of spruce in the Adirondacks-red black
and white. The best gum is gathered
from the sapwood of the white spruce.
The rarest of the gum is the blister "
which is translucent. and turns blue
after being chewed. After being
scraped. washed and frightened, it sells
for $50 a pound. There is a coarser
grade. composed of blister scrapings,
mixed with particles of bark. Placed
on trays of cotton cloth in a steam
tank, the gum Is drawn out. and yields
the producer so cents a pound, forming
the ordinary chewing gum of com
merce. Some manufactures adulterate
the gum with paraffin, rosin and chicle.
