MAN AND WIFE BURNED.


Buffalo, N. Y, May 11.-Herman M.
Blasdell, of North Collins, former
assemblyman, after whom the town
Of Blasdell, N. Y, is named, and his
wife, were so badly burned in fire
which started from an explosion and
which destroyed their home yester-
day that they died few hours later.
An adopted son, who was the only
other occupant of the house at the
time Of the explosion was slightly
burned. Mrs. Bladsell was conscious
for some time before her death and
from her it was learned how the ex-
plosion occurred. Awakened early
in the morning by strong smell Of
gas she began an investigation.
When she reached the hall she struck
match, and instantly there was a
terrific explosion. The walls of the
house were forced outward and one
side of the building dropped. Fire
broke out in half dozen places, and
the whole house was soon in flames.
The adopted son, who slept in re-
mote part Of the house, rushed to
his foster mothers rescue and sue |
ceeded in smothering the flames |
that enveloped her. Mrs. Blasdell
walked out as far as the street, where
she fell unconscious. Mr.. Blasdell,
who had been awakened by the ex-
plosion, endeavored TO reach the
stairway, but found himself cut of
by the flames. With his night cloth
ng ablaze he was forced to jump
rom an upper window. The shock

DEVOURINC FLAMES.
Many Houses and Much Lumber
Burned at Ottawa, Ont.
TWO THOUSAND PERSONS HOMELESS.


| OtJaWay Onty May ia hre, sus'
pected Of being Of incendiary origin,
yesterday afternoon and evening de-
stroyed hundreds Of houses and mil
lions of feet Of lumber In this city.
John White, who has Just been re-
leased from the penitentiary. after
serving term of imprisonment for
arson, was caught near where the
fire was first discovered. He was
taken to the police station and will
be charged with starting yesterdays
confagration.
The fire originated within stones
throw Of where the great Hull fire
Of April 20, 1900, was checked. The
Hull fire started on the opposite side
of the river and spread to the Otta-
wa side, destroying millions of dol
lars worth Of property. 1t burned
out near where the Ottawa and Parry
Sound railway enters the western
part Of the city and 1t was in the
lumber yards near the railroads that
yesterdays fire originated.
An hour before the principal fire
started two smaller blazes were dis
covered and quickly extinguished in
the lumber yards near the Canadian
Pacific railway. 1t was $3.50 when
the third was discovered. When the
brigade arrived at the scene II was
found that the water main had been
damaged and no water could be OBJ
tanned. When the brigade did get
water the fire was utterly beyond
its control. 1t swept along over the
same ground that the former fire
had gone, the only difference being
that it was going in the opposite di-
rection. There is a large cliff which
extends from the Ottawa river into
the corner Of Margaret and Preston
streets. The fire area was on the |
fats below the cliff. At two or
three points IL came very near get
ting over the cliff and had IL done SO
nothing would have saved the city.
At $3.50 last night the fire was under
control.
While the fires were burning fierce
ly among the lumber piles the whole
brigade of the city had been sum
moned and were forced TO remain
idle. For an hour not drop Of wa
ter was thrown into the flames. A
stiff southwest wind was blowing and
by the time the water main had been
repaired the lumber yards were a
mass Of glowing embers. From the
lumber yards the flames spread to
yroup Of frame houses on the out
skirts of the city formerly known
" Rochesterville, but which is now
united to the city. Every house In
he little settlement was destroyed.
ANOTHER lumber yard in thinly set
led section northwest Of Rochester
file was swept by the fire in an In
,redibly short time. This brought

Toying with Death.

The public craving for the perilous in
acrObatic performances and other exhibi
tions of ike nature is squirting inventors Of
s'daringfeats TO provide spectacles in which
the performers are made TO give death
a wide margin of opportunity. During
the bicycle craze wheelmen dashed down
inclines from giddy heights and plunged
into tanks of water, after the manner Of
the diving horse Then the incline was
curled into loops, the riders made to loop
the loop. Now there is another variation
Of this looping peril, in the form of a large
wheel revolving under power with bicycle
riders speeding around on the inside Of its
rim. What will follow this dizzy menace
to human life can Gully be conjectured.
While these perils for single performers
were in process of evolution, the amuse-
ment-seeking public was led into series Of
similar exciting sports Shooting the
ehutes was exhilarating, but dangerous
and during Its course as a popular craze
many people were badly injured Some
thing similar TO this was the switehback
railway, that attracted paying patronage
for sometime and also claimed its share of
victims. The looping Of the loop was in
time made bit of daring for amateurs by
providing cars in which the public could
INDUCED in dashes down an incline and
into the mechanical maelstrom In the
course of time, of course, the public will
fer price be permitted to indulge in the
risks incident to travel on the inside of the
rim of the huge revolving wheel. Some
way will surely be devised by which they
can be admitted to share the perils of the
undertaking.

Care of the Ice Box.

While the refrigerator seems an ex-
pensiye luxury to one with limited means it
will usually pay for itself in one or two
seasons in the saving of perishable food,
besides food is more healthful if kept in
refrigerator, because it Is better preserved
than when kept in the cellar, to say
nothing of the saving of steps to the house
wife where the distance from the cellar
makes such a convenience most imperative.
and its cost will be more than repaid By its
convenience Cleanliness in the refriger-
ator is of the most Importance as it is said
that 'carelessly kept refrigerator is the
postal hall of the microbe and if stray
bits Of food and vegetables are allowed To
collect under the rack, microbes NAV
reasonably be expected. There should be
no need of deodorizers, but if one is wanted,
a little powdered charcoal in saucer is
often recommended TO be set in the ice box.
though anything with decided Odor about
it should be excluded from the ice box.
The food should never be crowded in the
refrigerator, as one food absorbs the flavor
of another, and butter and milk should be
kept by themselves and as far removed
from the other contents as possible 4
few minutes daily devoted to cleaning the
inside of the box enables one to keep it
clean and in sanitary condition without
much trouble; but if neglected for sew
eral Gays it makes considerable work. The
interior of the box may be kept sweet and
wholesome by wiping out the inside every
morning with damp cloth, then once a
week remove everything and give it
thorough washing with strong hot pear
line suds, and use a small brush for reach
ing in the corners and creviees that are not
easily reached with cloth The hot suds
viii efiectually cleanse the waste pipe and
and this process Of cleansing keeps the box
sweet and clean and no microbes viii have
time TO collect in the corners and out of the
way places if the small bits of food are re
moved daily.

ALASKA


The cession of Alaska by Russia to the
United States in 1867 for 81, 200, 600
has proved to be profitable venture for
the purchasing nation. Russia was con-
tent with the sale and the United States
was willing to pay the sum named to
secure the command of the Northern Pa
cifc, the fisheries and the fur trade.
The country was forbidding, 1t did
not invite rapid American settlement or
exploitation. Its hidden wealth was I'M
suspected. If any one in 1867 had pre-
dicted that within forty years the value of
the salmon exported annually from Alaska
to the United States would exceed the en-
tire purchase money paid for the posses
sion, he would have been set down as a
hopeless visionary. The total value of the
Alaskan shipments to the United States
during ten months of the current fiscal year
was $40, 101 06O, exclusive of gold ex-
ports valued at 81, 369, 1876. During the
interval merchandise valued at Sc, S3l, :
070 has been imported into Alaska from
the United States, and it is estimated that
the value of the American shipments to
Alaska during the fiscal year will be be-
tween $40, 900, 900 and s12, 900, 600
The total trade interchange between the
possession and the United States for the
year will exceed $40, OOO,00 in value.
The Alaskan trade with Canada and other
countries is also becoming important, 1t
is valued at nearly 50, 600, 900 year at
present.
These informing figures and estimates
are disclosed by investigations conducted
by the Federal Bureau of Statistics, under
the act authorizing an inquiry as to the
commercial relations of the United States
with its noncontiguous territory. The dis
covery of gold in the Territory in 1887
worked marvellous transformation, but the
prosperity of the region does not rest wholly
upon the supply of the yellow metal
