THE DALTIMoRE cALAMITY.

Baltimore has become famous as the scene of "the biggest fire in the history of the world" according to the headline artists. but this is not fame to be desir- ed. The calamity which. has come upon one of the finest cities in this country is so stupendous that it can hardly be realized. The money loss is set down as at least one hundred and fifty mil- lions, and it may be more. This is &C., tual loss, and it is a vast amount of accumulated wealth to sweep out of existence in a, few hours. Unlike the losses experienced in stocks during the last year or two, this loss is not a transfer of money from one hand to another. It is real destruction, and though fortunately there is money enough to soon make the loss up, it is a big lot of money to burn up. Then there is the ruin to business men, the interruption to business, the general disarrangement the loss of work, the suffering, etc., etc. The story is sad enough, and as it is more fully told it's sadness may increase.
 Baltimore was not city where such fire could have been reasonably ex- pected, but it's occurrence there shows there isn't much safety. The lesson is, let the city that tlainketh it can't burn be careful. New Haven, for instance. We have got into the habit here of thinking that owing to the excellence of our Fire department there is no dan ger of a great fire here. There is, and our buildings almost invite one. We shall be more than lucky if one doesn't come in time.
 There are those who will see in the Baltimore fire and other things that are happening and will happen indications that the pride of the world is going to have a fall. We in this country have certainly been stepping pretty high lately, and it will perhaps do us no harm to be reminded that we can't control everything and live forever.

The Wichita Eagle says: '.M. C.. Campbell, chairman of the State live stock sanitary commission, says a great many cattlemen in the Southwest are going out of business because the packers trust has destroyed their profits. In his opinion the Kansas beef product will be much less than that of last year."
 Comenting on this. the Kansas City Journal has this to say: The dissatis- faction among cattIemen is exceedingly great. They are undoubtedly correct in believing that they are up against some kind of combination among buyers. A market where there are thirty or for ty buyers and only one undertaking price is certainly controlled by some kind of an agreement. This seems like an unqualified misfortune to all con- cerned. It is discouraging to the cat tie raisers, hurtful to Kansas City as a cattle market, and in the long run win injure those who are not disposed to give cattle raisers a fair share of the profit. The moment cattle raising gen. erally is discouraged, at that moment the packers will find themselves more than ever at the mercy of the raisers. In this connection. however, we cannot refrain from calling attention to the fact that the cattle business has very likely been somewhat overdone because of the extraordinary prices which for a long time prevailed. One who makes extraordinary profit becomes accus- toned to it and is dissatisfied if com- pelled to do business at small profit sometimes unduly dissatisfied. But, af- ter making all allowances for consid- erations like this, we cannot doubt that the packers are substantially in error in carrying their cooperation too far.
 This is temperate statement and the Kansas City Journal is in a posi- tion to know something about the facts.

 The time is ripe, and rotten ripe for change; Then let 1t come I have no dread of what Is called for by the instinct of mankind: NOT think that Gods world will fall apart Because we tear parchment more or less. Truth is eternal. but her eff1uence, With endless change, Is fitted to the hour: Her mirror is turned forward to reflect The promise of the future, not the past. He who would win the name of truly great Must understand his own age and the next, And make the present ready to fulfill It's prophecy, and with the future merge. Gently and peacefully, as wave with wave, The future works out great mems purposes: The present is enough for common souls, Who never looking forward are indeed Mere clay, wherein the footprints of their
 age
 Are petrifed forever Better those Who lead the blind old giant by the hand From out the painless desert where he
 gropes, And set him onward in the darksome way. l do not fear to follow out the truth, Albeit along the precipice's edge. Let us speak plain! there is more in names Than most men dream of and lie may

 Its throne whole age longer, if it skulk Behind the shield of some fair-sounding

CHEER FROM CHICAGO.

Chicago's death rate has been long de- clining, and the present indications are that it will in time get down below zero. So whatever comes from Chicago about sanitary matters is well worth atten- ton. Awhile ago, it will be remember ed, St. Louis became afraid that Chica- go. through her drainage canal, was making life ill St. Louis more danger ous than it really ought to be. Chicago denied that there was any basis for this fear. but some smart man in the in. te-est of St. Louis dumped few mill lion harmless microbes into the Chica- go canal, and within a few days St. Louis people were drawing these same microbes or their progeny from their cago microbes were strong enough to travel, and it then became necessary to show that though they might travel they couldn't hurt anybody after their journey. Professor Edwin o. Jordan testified under oath the other day that he had discovered that typhoid germs will not live above two days in sewage polluted water, and not above ten days in ordinary pure water. Scientific theo- ries regarding the life Of the typhoid fever bacillus are overturned and the belief that typhoid fever germs can be carried long distances is destroyed. Professor Jordan conducted his experi- ments in the canal itself under condi- tions as natural as possible. Typhoid germs were placed in parchment sacks in the canal and given every opportuni- tv to thrive and multiply. They pined away and died, killed" in the words of the scientist, 'by the toxic solution thrown off by the saprophytic organ isms."
 Good work. Now if some way can be discovered to keep deadly microbes al- together out of the canal St. Louis can breathe more freely.

The old versions of the Bible" he said,. pre- sent the book in one monotonous ar rangement of numbers, chapters and verses, not distinguishing literary forms and often running counter to them. It effaces all forms of literary structure, and it presents the appearance of not so much of a sacred book of revelation as of a Divine scrap book. The Bible is the worst printed book in the world. It is well printed as regards type, paper and binding, but in it all literary forms have been destroyed. ,"

AN UNWORTHY GERMAN.

It seems that there is a proper preju- dice in Germany against red neckties. At the recent annual school celebration of Sedan day in the town of Plauen the head school teacher, one Herr Weidauer. appeared wearing a blood red cravat." This kind of color for an official person created surprise and pain among those present. It struck them as sign that the reds'-that is. the Social Democrats-llad obtained 9 foothold in the conservative official teaching class. This feeling later found expression through Herr Leisner, the editor of the Piauen Anzeiger. He dis- cussed the color of Herr Weidauers necktie and the taste of that gentle man in wearing it. The outburst so stirred up the school teacher that he sued the editor. The matter came be- fore the court and decision has been rendered. The court decided that there was no case for damages against Herr Leisner, and that the head schoomas- ter Weidauer must pay the costs of the legal proceedings, The ground given fer this decision was that to wear red neclxtie on a national holiday in Germany was unsuitable and improper, that the conduct of the complainant in wearing necktie of that color was, in view of the fact that he is a govern ment official, unworthy
