FIRE IN ROCHESTER.
Several Stores In Reynolds Arcade suf.
fer-Panic In Office Buildlnq.


Rochester, March s. - Following
close on the heels of the disastrous fire
OF 10 days ago, came another fire on
Main street yesterday afternoon. which
appeared threatening at the start so
that a general alarm was sent out.
The fire was located in the historic
Reynolds arcade near the corner OF
Main and State streets. The loss is
estimated at $4,000. The alarm was
turned in at 3 o'clock. when smoke
was seen coming out of the basement
Of the Olympian Candy company.
1t had evidently smoldered some
time when discovered. 1t is supposed
to have started in box of refuse 4
narrow passageway runs the length OF
the arcade with store rooms on either
side. Most of the damage was con.
fined to goods in these store rooms, the
only damage above the surface being
from smoke and water.
When the firemen once got at the
source OF the fire 1t was soon put out,
but not before it had spread to the
airshaft of the Elwood building on
State street an office building, causing
a general exit of tenants.
Above the basement the chief dam.
age was done to the candy store, which
was Quilted. The loss is estimated at
$4,000, with an insurance OF $4,000.
Other losses are New York Suit and
Cloak company, stock and fixtures, s9,-
900; insured; United Cigar Stores
company, stock in cellar. $4,000; in
sured; Gould. Lee and Luce, shoe
dealers, stock in cellar, $4,000; partly
insured. There were some other
small losses from smoke and water.

The Physician,

a popular Impression prevails that
the physician by reason of the privi-
Ieges conferred upon him by the state,
is. in the absence of an adequate rea-
son for not so doing. required to re-
81 ond TO all calls TO render professional
services. This is clearly erroneous, ex-
cept where the physician has already
undertaken the treatment Of the case
lr except where he is an officer of the
ioyernment charged with specific du-
lies which he thereby violates.

BEES, BIRDS AND eoARs.
Natural History Contained In a Raro
Old Book.

Old Book.
II Is interesting to know that among
some country folk the curious idea
still prevails that with the master die
the bees. Somebody tells me that in
stances of this have been noticed of
late. At a sale of the humble effects
OF a villager lately dead, two or three
hives of bees in old straw keeps were
to be disposed Of, but when they came
to be examined it was found that all
the bees were dead.
A coincidence Of this kind will prob
ably keep alive superstition in that
village for generations to come, says
the London Express.
Some curious specimens OF folk lore
and natural history are contained in
a rare book, called "The Sportsman's
Dictionary" to which G. NJ. Woolsey
has drawn my attention. This was
published 100 years ago. The author
was evidently Philistine among
Philistines in his attitude toward ma
. ture.
or the master musician, the black
Bird he says:
This bird is known by all persons,
and is better TO be eaten than kept,
being much sweeter to the palate
when dead and we'll roasted than to
the ear while living. Sings about
three months in the year, or four at
most, though his song is worth moth
ing; but If he he taught to whistle he
is of some value, II being very loud,
though course" What an ear and
mind!
And here is story OF the squirrel
with the ring in 1t of the seventeenth
even more than the eighteenth cen
tury. II reminds one of the hareS OF
Izaak Walton, that changed their
sexes once year:
''If what is reported of them be
true, the admirable cunning of the
squirrel appears in her where we com
monty use his when the sex need not
be specified our ancestors often used
herr swimming or passing over a riv-
er for when she is constrained by
hunger so to do she seeks out some
rind or small bark of a tree, which
she sets upon the water, and then
goes into it, and, holding up her tail
like a sail, let's the wind drive her to
the other side, and carries meat in her
mouth to prevent being famished by
the length of the voyage"
or the wild boar We have this: And
what place so ever he bites. whether
man or dog, the heat of his teeth
causes Inflammation in the wound IT,
therefore, he does but touch the hair
Of a dog he burns Off. nay, huntSmen
have tried the heat of his teeth by lay
ing hairs on them as soon as he was
dead, and they have shrivelled up as
If touched with hot iron"

columns in a groundless attack full
of mis-statements on the board of
county commissioner, thus proving
that when we stated he was "a gas

we sized him up correctly. Cooke
pretends to run a non-political paper,
but it is only. pretense as all his
readers know. One of these days he
will get to the end of his rope, then
the jirk will pull the shoppers all out
