Baltimore, Md, Feb. S.-The city
seems doomed to destruction. A fire
which started yesterday ragged all
night, and this morning it already ex-
ceeds in volume and in money loss the
famous Chicago fire, which consumed
$3.50, DOC, 900 worth of property. All
morning buildings have been dynamit.
ed in the hopes of stopping the pro-
gress Of the flames. All the reserve
fire departments of Washington, Phil
adelphia and Jersey City have arrived.
The city is under martial law, the
Fourth and Fifth Maryland regiments
and the regulars from Fort McHenry
taking charge of the town.
Forty-two blocks are In ashes. News
paper Offices are destroyed. the Her
aid, the Sun and the Baltimore News
being issued from newspaper offices in
Washington.
Some Of the most magnificent build
ings in the city are gone. The court
house at Calvary n Fayette streets,
which cost 81, 1000, 900. Is destroyed; so
is the Equitable building. the Balti.
more and Ohio building INT the Cen
tennial Trust building. which cost
: 5000, 900. is gone.
The hospitals were filled this morn
ing with injured. but there were no
fatalities reported.
The Union Trust company's build
ing and the Carrollton hotel fell in
with a great crash this morning. The
calamity Is beyond estimate, and the
scenes during all last night were fear
full, the great city resembling Il vol

The governor has ordered all bust.

every effort is being put forward to
save part of the city. Up to the pres

town. and but for them all of Bal

At oon the fire was apparently I'M
der control. 1t burned over 14O acres
of the business center of the city, and
the loss In buildings alone is estimated
at 1926, 900 900, which, added to the
loss OF their contents, leads the under
writer's Of the fire insurance companies
to believe that the total loss will be
$3.50. OOO, 900. Most of the property was
well insured, but some companies may
lose SO heavily as to fail.
Baltimore Is in every sense of the
word a stricken city. Regular and
state troops patrol the devastated dis
tricts. Business is paralyzed. with
stricken people thronging the streets.
The fire limits are these: Everything
south Of Fayette street to Light,
thence north to Lexington, thence
west to LOBBY thence south to Hop

street. east to the Bowley wharf, then
in \ direct line to a point on West

Red and Green snow

AT various times it is recorded that
there has been s'blood on the face of
the moon Some old chronicles tell of
showers of blood, which, however, are
not well authenticated The bloody
snow on the other hand, is an actual
thing. Snow is sometimes found in
polar and Alpine regions, where it lies
unmelted from year to year. and the
annual fall is small, colored red by
the presence of innumerable small red
plants. In it's native state the plant
consists of brilliant red globules on a
gelatinous mass. Red snow was OBJ
served by the ancients, a passage in
Aristotle referring to it. but it attract
ed little or no attention until 1850.
when Saussure observed it in the Alps
and concluded that it was due to the
pollen Of plant. 1t was also noticed
by the arctic expedition under Captain
Ross on Baffin's bay shore, on a range
OF cliffs, the red color penetrating to
the depth of twelve feet. Less fire..
quent is green growth Of snow.
just imagine these rich colors deco
rating the landscape near our large.

have a new attraction which would ap-
peal to the artistic and aesthetic sense.

POPHAM's LITTLE FEE IS 500.
Report Places Il at $50 Day, for Fourteen
Days.


Fifty dollars a day, fifty great, big,
hard, glittering cartwheels. was the
insignificant little feecharged by Attor-
ney G. NJ. Popham of Chicago for his
professional services in connection
with the Gebhardt murder case, if in
formation from a seemingly reliable
source is correct. This was paid by
the Gebhardt brothers, who had re-
tanned him.
Popham's services for the brothers
of his murdered friend extended from
December End until the Indictment,
December 10th, just two weeks, so that
he carried away with him roll of

Citizens committee before his engage

been learned.

The Hymn Suited.

LIE unfortunate young man had
moved his hat from place to place in
the pew. but always had to move it
again. His pew seemed particularly
popular, and there was no abiding
spot for that piece of headgear, which
happened to be shining silk hat of
the most approved shape. Finally,
when he was tightly wedged into one
corner and there seemed to be nothing
for him to do but to hold the hat ten
derly on his lap for the rest of the
service, he had an inspiration. The
pew in front was still empty. He
leaned over, gently deposited his cher
ished head covering on the cushioned
seat and gave himself up to pious re-
Election. By and by the owners of that
pew made late entrance. The youth
gazed at them with interest A pretty
young blond led the way, and in look
ing at her fair hair and blue eyes he
forgot his hat. She. conscious of his
gaze, blushed properly and cast down
her eyes in maidenly way. Then
she sat down and there was a crush
ing, grinding sound. She shot up
again, and so did the young man. and
together they surveyed the ruins Of
that shining silk hat, while the choir
vociferously sang "Cover my defense

Christmas Trade Good.

Christmas trade this year in New
Ulm has been very good, although
perhaps not as large as in some for
mer years. Some of the merchants
report better business, but others
say there has been a slight falling off.
The general excitement over the MUIR
der and the trial has doubtless been
responsible, in measure, for the
difference. The stores this year have
lines which have been better than
ever before and the public has had a
chance to make selections to suit any
taste. The window displays in many
of the stores this year have also been
in advance of anything seen here be-
fore, showing taste and skill.
