FIRE PERIL AT THE FAIR.
x..,~r,;nu of Hoo Hoo Building Ihreat-
ems Other Structures.

Fire which threatened for time TO
destroy many buildings at the OF. i4ouis
worlds fair Friday, consumed inc nouss
Of Hoo Hoo, rendering the bulldlns anu
aIl contents a total loss. 30 qulcAiy
did the flames spread after the nre ssart-
Cd that the occupants of the pulloins'
FIVE in number. all on the second noor'
had difficulty escaping with their IVes'
being compelled to climb down tree 20
tba grounds The loss on the Dullolns
and contents is estimated at Soo,uvno,, ~ oii
which there is an insurance or Szo,UoU'
In addition there is loss OF So'Vvo "
the Union Baking Company, when mao
catering concession in the bulidlng.
Nothing is known positively as 10 lhe
origin Of the fire, which is supposed 10
have started from an electric light wlre'
the insulation Of which had become
worn.
The alarm was answered by the en-
tire fire department and by elght en-
CINE companies and two ladder trucks
of the city department, also by HAZE
fire fighters. Quick runs were MADE oy
all the companies, but the rapid spread
OF the flames rendered their attempts
to extinguish the fire useless, ana al
efforts were directed toward saving the
Texas, German, Oregon and Mines ana
Metallurgy buildings, all Of which were
threatened with destruction on account
Of the flying shingles. All were saved
without loss or damage.
The house Of Hoo-Hoo was one OF the
first buildings finished for the exposition.
It was erected by the lumbermen OF the
United States, but under the control OF
the local board Of the order Of Hoo-Hoo.
It was divided into many rooms, con-
structed Of different kinds Of fine ana
expensive lumber. Aside from this, there
were specimens Of rare woods when
were valued highly. 1t has not been de-
cided yet whether to rebuild or not.
There were thirty black cats i'll the
building at the time of the fire and these
are believed to have persisted.
Only ten minutes before the alarm
from the house Of Hoo Hoo the worlds
fair fire department had answered stu
alarm from the Mysterious Asia conces-
sion on the Pike, where fire had started
in the elephant barn. The loss was
insignificant, only q small amount OF hay
burning, but there was wild stampede
of elephants and camels, the frightened
trumpeting of the former awakening peo-
pie in all parts Of the grounds At
taches Of the company succeeded IN quiet
ing the animals before any escaped from
the building.

THE VILLAGE FOURTH.

Description of a Western Celebration
by One Who Was There.
The roughly arranged stand was
decorated with rcd, white and blue,
and one woman who kindly lent her
dew plant, under a glass globe, to
Decorate the small table at one side.
THE leading men of the village were
30terested in the affair and had seats
On the platform. The village choir sat
at one side, and at the other was the
orator of the day. The latter, ms the
anly man dignified with the habiliment
OF Prince Albert coat, and with his
smooth hair, short upper lip and long
prominent chin, 1t was quite easy to
decide, was the speaker" The brass
Aand, secured from neighboring
Aown, in uniforms of green and gilt,
sas in the pagoda, which is the center
Of every we'll ordered park, and open
ed the exercises with a patriotic air.
There were men with bald heads and
women with wigs. A travelling dentist
had his car drawn up at one side Of
TIE park and was lavish in the use Of
Aandbills announcing his trade. If ev-
Ty one at the park who needed to
ret or leave teeth with him had ap-
piled he would have coined money.
The costumes were as varied as the
people themselves. While the band
played there strolled across the park
20 the seats a party of five-two wom-
aa two men and baby. The men
had shed their coats. The women were
dressed alike in blue plaid calico skirts,
white and gray lawn waists, with
AriSht orange ribbon sashes tied In
snug little bows at the back. Their
bats were white straw, literally trim
ned with red and yellow tarlatan and

increased illness, ETC., which has In
variably followed a noisy Fourth or
July. The more noise the more death
and injury, but the less patriotism, is
a pretty safe rule. Regret must, there
fore, be expressed for the public dec
laraHon Of the Mayor Of an eastern
city that he believes in frecracker
Fourth. Perhaps this Is a better plan
than to publicly condemn the toy can
non, ETC., and privately condone all
offenses against the unexecuted law.
The toy pistol boy is often the crimi-
nal in the making. The Chicago
idea" Is said to be to celebrate noise
lessly by means Of good literature,
speeches, etc, but Minneapolis tries to
abolish the noise-making and replace
it by innocent games and athletic
sports. These methods are surely more
hygienic, and will cheat the doctors
out of their yearly crop Of emergency
cases and accidents, but from the ants
we will scarcely get credit for such
worthy or unworthy motives.-Ameri-

DON'T BIND THE WOUND.


Timely Suggestion Anent Fourth of
July Injuries.
Twenty-four cases of lockjaw from
toy pistol injuries in Chicago on the
Fourth of July, 1900, and similar ex-
periences elsewhere resulted in the use
Of pistols and frecrackers being pro-
hibited in many cities.
Do not bind or close up any Fourth
Of July wound or any wound produced
as such wounds are. Lockjaw or te-
tanus is caused by a bacillus or germ
which exists plentifully In street dirt,
and especially in and around stables.

The newspapers OF San Francisco that
have exploited the agony Of a beautiful
woman and have sold newspapers be-
cause of the business feature connected
with a suicide find a sharp reprimand in
the News Letter this week.
"a Cleaner Chinatown" is the title OF
a very readable article. which gives the
Governor and the State Health Board
credit for the good work they are doing.
The Fourth. the Fool and the Fire
cracker is the alliterative title of an
article which will strike a responsive
chord in the hearts of all who do not be-
Iieve that noise is patriotism.
The iIliteracy OF the Mayor OF San
Francisco is exhibited at length. There
is the usual amount Of political gossip
and exclusive news by JuniuSs while the
departments are breezy
