Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science
is toward preventive measures.
The best thought of the world is
being given to the subject. 1t is
easier and better to prevent tha n
to cure. 1t has been fully demon.
strated that pneumonia, one of
tho most dangerous diseases that
medical men have to contend
with, can be prevented by the use
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from
a cold or from an attack of in
fuenza (grip), and it has been
observed that this remedy coun.
teracts any tendency of these
diseases toward pneumonia. This
has been fully proven in many
thousands Of cases in which this
remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and
grip In recent years, and can be
relied upon with implicit conf
dence. Pneumonia often result lts
from slight cold when. no danger
is apprehended until tits sudden
iy discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and
pains in the chest, then it ia an
nounced that the patient has
pneumonia. Be on the safe side
and take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as soon as the cold is
contracted. 1t always cures. For

contributions amounted to Sd

sequent exposure. The none

100000 being allowed for salv-
age on foundation walls; the sub
sequent in eruption of business,
shrlnkage in real estate values,
and other causes attendant upon
such disasters made the total

fifty fire insurance companies
were made insolvent through their
losses.

Progress Of the Race.

Early last Sunday morning the
Booker L. Washington Social
Club, in the Exchange Building,
Haverhill, Massachusetts, was
raided by a squad of twelve 20
licemen and thirty men we're
captured. The police had to
break in the door to get at the
gamblers, who were arrested but
afterwards released on bail. In
this raid the police seized two
slot machines, cards, dice and a
small amount of money. In the
afternoon City Marshal McLaugh.
lin, of Haverill, with a squad of
four policemen, again visited the
place and seized 100 bottles of
lager beer, 10 quarts of whiskey,
8 quarts of gin, pint of brandy,
l quart of wine, 1 quart of rum,
l tray, rs glasses and 8 empty
beer cases. 1t is not explained
by the Boston Herald, which
conveys this interesting informa-
ton, why the Haverhill Club
should have been named for
Booker Washington, nor is any
thing said about the complexion
of its members. We judge, how
ever, from the fact that part Of
the paraphernalia seized is used
in these parts in the playing OF
the great Afro-American game of
craps that the club is composed
of colored persons, and if so they
appear to be maintaining in
Massachusetts some of the quail
ties of the race which have been
so fully developed in the South
News and Courier.

GETTING OUT OF THE ASHE
Resumption of Business by Banks
Encourages the People.

Baltimore, Nd, Feb. Ito
day marked the most cheerful ad-
vance Baltimore has yet made in
emerging from the dark cloud
cast upon it by the great con-
hagration. An incident that in
splred the whole community with
tremendous confidence was the
resumption of business by the
banks, deposits being received
and checks honored in the usual
way.
The progress which has been
made in the work of clearing the
debris from the streets in the
burned district seems almost
magical. Baltimore street, which
at sunrise was a confused mass of
rubbish, is practically clean, and
likewise South street, one of the
great banking thoroughfares.
All through the financial dis
trict preparations are being made
TO open sales and vaults. In no
instance have the contents Of any
vault been seriously damaged.
The Chamber of Commerce
has been exceedingly active today
in sending broadcast to every
centre of trade in this country
and Europe the assurance that
Baltimore is even now i'm condi
ton - to transact all shipping,
grain and foreign trade and that
all other lines of business will be
restored to their normal chan.
nels within the next two or three
months.
Many merchants and manufac-
turers, whose places of business
were swallowed up in the con.
hagration, have signed contracts
for rebuilding, and there are on
all sides the greatest signs of ac-
tlvity in this respect. All are
simply waiting for the city to
clear the streets of debris and
give permission to the owners of
the ground to take possession.
A composite estimate of the
total loss from the fire by twenty
five expert representatives of
all the leading insurance com
panies, outside of Baltimore,
places the figures at $S5, 100000.
Some of them think that the to.
tai loss will be reduced to So.
100000, as much salvage is be-
ing dug out of the ruins which
was thought to have been de.
stroyed. The loss to insurance
companies is estimated by the
same experts at rs per cent of
the total loss.
The five greatest fires on re-
ord, reckoned by destruction of
property, are:
Chicago fire of Oct. s and 9.
1871, $192,000,O0O.
Paris fires, May ,1S71,$16O, ,OOO,.
900.
Moscow fire, of September IA
10, 1872, $75,O00,OOO.

One Thing Thou Lackest.

The time has arrived in the affairs of the city of Juneau when petty jealous ies and personal animosities must be set aside and individuals and cliques that are not willing to work for greater things than their personal advancement must be relegated to the rear. It must be not what individuals want, but what the people want. There never was a time in our history when opportunities were as bright as at the present time for accomplishing results. It only re. quires cooperation of unity and action to build here at Juneau the great com mercial center of Southeastern Alaska. Daily Record Miner.

Needs Paint.

Two years ago this summer the city of Douglas erected, at cost of about SlOOOO, a fine school building-which has been source of pride to the people of the town, and comfort to the chil- dren and teachers. The funds at the command of the school board when the building was erected proved insuffici- ent, and a debt was incurred. By strict economy and attention to business, on the part of the board last year, this debt was very materially reduced, and, if the same good management contin- ues, by the end of the present year it will be all or nearly all wiped out.
 But then, the feeling of pride which Douglasites have enjoyed in regard to this splendid edifice is beginning to wane, because of it's condition.
