Humor Of Incidents in Connection
With Baltimore ConfIagration.
On Water street, near South, the
big granite-based buildings were mash.
ed to mass of barely recognizable
ruins. In one of them, however, right
over the door way to the side was a
big sign. All about this sign demoli
ton was spread by the wild fury OF
the flames and falling walls, and the
building looked like it had been at the
mercy of a miniature Kansas cyclone.
But just the same, like the celebrated
flag in Francis Scott Keys immortal
song, the sign was still there, and it
read, For Rent-Desirable Offices in
the Basement"
The basement, or what was left OF
it, was all that remained Of the former
f1ve-storied building.
Not block away was another pc
culiar freak of the fire. There was a
cigar store on the corner Of Lombard
and South streets, in front of which
there was evidently sign advertis.

building was in ruins. Every sign OF
life was destroyed. Ruined buildings

tisement, or at least a great portion
of it, was still observable. The lower
part of the sign stood out in strong
relief, reading, ''The Best Smoke in

HE BUILT HIS OWN POORHOUSE
Queer Trick Which Fortune Played
on a California Gold Miner.


The Murphy family was very num-
erous in California in the days of
49," Some members struck it rich
in the mines and held onto their for
tunes, others were not so lucky. One
Murphy in particular is remembered
by all the old time miners. He made
a big fortune in the gold mines and
started to build magnificent country
residence near San Jose, the noted
fruit center of California.
The elegance of the place was the
talk of the whole community. But one
day, to the surprise of his business
associates, Murphy slapped big mort
gage onto the property.
Rates of interest were enormous in
those days, and as poor Murphy had
been unable to meet his payments
one day the beautiful home went
under the auctloneer's hammer, and
was bought at a great bargain by the
county for it's poorhouse.
Things went from bad to worse with
Murphy, and in a few years the proud
old Irishman was obliged to enter his
old home as an inmate, a county pau

District Inspector van Ostrand said this
