en- labored frantically to prevent
the spread of the flames, but their best
efforts were futile and but feeble as
compared with the merciless wrath OF
the unquenchable fire demon Tor
rents of rain poured down all night,
accompanied by vivid lightning, but all
this was unheeded by excited men as
they rushed hither and thlther despair
ing of their power to cope with the
mighty enemy, yet hoping against hope
that they might hit upon some manner
of combating the fury of the flames.
1t was generally reported that a
number of men were caught by the fire
while trying to throw up an earthern
levee to prevent the spread of the
waste oil that escaped from the tanks
as they burst, great sheet of flame
and oil ran down the side of the tank
in the direction of the men and teams.
The mules were deserted and left to
escape as best they might, while 9TH

1t is asserted that a number of men
have persisted either by fire or from
the effects of the gas, but owing to the
din Of confusion prevailing in the field,
1t is impossible to confirm the reports.
All night long the town of Humble
was thronged with homeless people
seeking shelter. and there was no place
to accommodate them. Many of them
had lived in tents in the field town.
and when the flames began to spread,
deserted tneir temporary homes and
sought safety in flight
At the latest advices gravest fears
for the field were entertained, for the
reason that the waste oil is running in
that direction with little effort being
made to check the flow
OF course, the facilities for fighting
any kind of fire are very crude, and
to successfully combat conflagration
is absolutely Gut of the question. The
best that the most optimistic could
hope for is to prevent the fire reach.

GREAT FIRE IN HUMBLE OIL FIELDS.
lightning Struck Oil Tank and Started Fire Which
Cost Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars

Houston, Texas, July 24.-Lightnins
struck an earthen oil reservoir at
Humble Sunday afternoon about 4:25.
This tank, with ten others, were close
together in one part Of the field, and
all owned by the Texas Company. The
fire communicated itself from this tank
TO the others ALI night the fire
burned with volcanic effect.
The capacity of ten of the eleven
tanks destroyed was 100000 barrels,
and the other contained 2SS,OOO, max
ing total of approximately 2.250,OOO
barrels of oil Estimating that this
oil is worth % cents barrel. the loss
in oil alone is s562,5OO To this must
be added the loss of the tanks, of tents,
fixtures, teams, etc.
The losses are partially covered by
insurance. but just what proportion
cannot be learned
1t is said that at least fifty families
had their tents together with all their
household goods destroyed, not having
had sufficient time to rescue anything.
While 200 men and seventy-fiye
mules were at working trying to throw
up an earthen embankment to keep the
fire within the bounds Of the first
tank, the oil suddenly boiled over, and
the fire was communicated to the 9th
.er tanks There was a scramble for
life on the part of the men and the
mules. Most of them got away. 1t is
certain that at least five Of the men
and large number of mules failed
to escape and persisted miserably. No
names could be obtained nor could the
exact loss Of life be ascertained.

TERRIBLE NAVAL DISASTER.

Boiler Exploded on the cunoat Ben
nlngton at san Diego, Cal.
San Dieg o,Cal., July 22.-Twenty-
eight dead bodies are lying at the
morgues, on piers and on deck of a
ruined vessel of the United States
navy, scores of men are lying griev-
ously or painfully injured in sanitar-
iums and hospital and fifteen sailors
are missing and have probably found
death in the waters Of the harbor as
the result of an explosion of boiler
on board the United States gunboat
Bennington at 1910 O'clock yester-
day morning.
The Bennington at the time Of the
accident was lying in the stream, just
off the Commercial wharf, at the
foot of III" street. The warship had
received orders from the Navy De-
partment at Washinston to sail yes
terday morning for Port Hartford at
which place she was to meet the mon
ior Wyoming and convoy the vessel
to Mare Island Navy Yard.
Steam was up and everything was in
readiness for sailing, when suddenly
and without any warning whatever
the starboard forward boiler exploded
with a deafening roar.
It was Immediately apparent that
an awful disaster of some kind had
happened on board the warship. The
ferryboat Ramona was coming across
the bay at the time Of the accident.
Capt. Bertelsen OF the Ramona i'm
medIately gave orders to change the
course Of the boat and instead Of
continuing his trip to the San Diega
side of the bay hurried to the aid Of
tho stricken warship. The tug Santa
Fe. the launch Mckinley, the govern
ment launch Gen. de Russey and a
great number Of other launches and
water craft which were near the
scene at the time also rushed to the
assistance Of the Bennington and en-

CHANGED HUSBAND.
We Made wIse change in FOOd.

Wife Made Wise Change In Food.
Change of diet is the only way to
really cure stomach and bowel trouble.
A woman says:
"My husband had dyspepsia when
we were married and had suffered
from 1t for several years. 1t was al
most impossible to find anything he
could eat without bad results.
IT thought this was largely due to
the use of coffee and persuaded him
to discontinue it. He did so, and be-
gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The
change did him good from the begin
ming, his digestion improved; he suf-
fered much less from his nervousness,
and when he added Grape Nuts food
to his diet he was soon entirely cured.
my friend, Mrs. - -, OF Vicks-
burg (my former home) had become a
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia.
Medicines had no effect, neither did
travel help her. On my last visit home,
some months ago, persuaded her to
use Grape-Nuts food. She was in de-
spair, and consented. She stuck to 1t

JACK IN NEW ORLEANS, La.
Texas Guaranteed Against Sister State Health
Officer Urges Texas Cities to Clean Up.


Galveston. Texsa. July 22.-Texas
has quarantined against New Orleans.
DR.. George r. Tabor State. Health
Officer, yesterday received telegram
from DR.. souchon, president Of the
state Board Of Health of Louisiana,
stating that yellow jack has invaded
the Crescent City. and yesterday af-
ternoon Dr. Tabor promptly put an
embargo against passengers coming
from New Orleans He will leave for
that point this morning and make a
personal inspection, after which fur
Their plans win be evolved for the
establishment OF detention camps at
the railroad entrances to Texas, if
these are deemed necessary. Pend
ing this, however. Dr. Tabor has by
wire instructed the ticket agents at
New Orleans Of the Texas & Pacific
and Southern Railroads not to sell
tickets to Texas points, and he has
also through the same medium ap-
prised Vice President Fay of the
Southern Pacific that he has placed
in effect the quarantine mentioned.
Dr. Tabor says that passengers des-
tined to Texas points may pass
through New orleans, but they will
be required to show the proper ere
dentials.
An inquiry was made of DR.. Tabor
as to the number of yellow fever cases
in New Orleans, and in reply he stat
ed that he did not know, and also
could not say from whence it came.
He said, however, that he had pre-
viously received Information of sus-
pected cases being there, and yester-
day received confirmation from the
Louisiana State Health officer of the
report. He said that for some time
he had been afraid that yellow fever
would invade the port from Central
and South America, as the authori-
ties have been utilizing too much of
their efforts in watching Texas and
Mexico. and possibly neglected their
own port
The State Health OFFICER urges that
all Texas towns Immediately institute
a campaign ofcleaning up, as he says
this is the best precaution toward pre-
venting such disease. He states that
while 50 far as he knows there is no
cause for alarm an ounce Of proven
ton is worth a pound Of cure
Last night DR.. Tabor communicated
to the City Health Physicians of Gal;
weston, Houston, san Antonio. Orange
and Beaumont the information he
has received.

On board the Bennington were pre-
scented terrible scenes. The force of
the explosion had torn great hole
in the starboard side Of the ship, and
the vessel was already commencing
to list. A section of the upper deck
was carried away from stem to stern.
Blood and wreckage we're distributed
over the entire ship.
Over it all hung a cloud of white
smoke. Every physician who could
be reached by telephone was called TO
the water front. Within compare
lively short time nearly dozen, ply
sicians were on the scene and attend
ing to the wounded
A dozen or fifteen were blown over
board by the force OF the terrific ex-
ploslon. Capt. wentworth, who was
looking at the Bennington when the
disaster occurred says he saw hui
man bodies hurled over hundred
feet upward.
A boat was lowered from the yes
sells side and most of those thrown
into the water were picked up and
taken on board.
The shock of the explosion pene-
trated every section of the ship. Por-
lions of the upper deck were carried
away and great damage was done in
all sections.

CAUSED BY LIGHTNING.
Big Tank Was Struck Early Sunday
Afternoon.

AILSTUOOUs
Humble, Texas, July 24.-Eleven big
earthen tanks of the Texas Company
are burning and the waste oil is run
ming in the direction of the field with
almost no possible prospect Of stop
ping it.
The property loss has been ire
1nendous- more than half a million
and it is feared that at least five men.
and possibly more have lost their
lives in fruitless attempt to check
the ravages Of the fire god
The conflagration started at 1920
o'clock in the afternoon, when the big
2ss ,OOO-barrel tank of the Texas Com
pauy was struck by lightning AT the
same time negro and two mules were
killed.
Fol time the flames were confined
to the tank, but after several hours the
oil began to boil and dubbed over the
brim of the basin and ran in the di-
rection of the other tanks in the same
inclosure-
Soon every one of the eleven big
tanks of the Texas Company was a
mass OF flames. Lurid tongues OF
fire shot 600 feet into the air, making
a spectacle as magnificent as 1t was
terrible. During the entire night an
electrical storm prevailed in the yicin-
ity, which added to the CHASTITY gran
deur Of the scene.

who Was elusbeardf

"Who was the original Bluebeard,
after whom the Chicago murderer SEN
fenced to death recently has been
nicknamed?" asks a writer in the
London Chronicle He continues:
1--WE owe the familiar Bluebeard of
the pantomime to Charles Perrault.
the Frenchman, who published in
1857 his immortal stories of Blue
beard The Sleeping Beauty Little
Red Riding Hood and Cinderella.
But It is very uncertain who, II any
body, was Perrault's model for Blue
beard.
Some have supposed that It was
our Henry VIII others that the tale
is lampoon upon the castle lords Of
knight errantry days in general Per
haps the favorite candidate has been
Giles de Rails, marshal of France, who
was hanged and burned In 1440 for an
awful series Of crimes.
During fourteen years he was be-
lieved to have kidnapped about $50
children, tortured them, sacrificed
them to the devil, burned their bodies
and buried their bones in his castle
grounds. But the resemblance be-
tween his tale and Bluebeards is too
slight to be convincing"

TRAMps HAD ROYAL FEAST.
They Dlned Off Gold and silver Taken
from a Frelaht Car

They Dined Off Gold and silver Taken
from a Freight Car.
According to the statement of a
railroad man who lives in Chester, Pa,
and was an eyewitness Of the affair,
tramps and yeggmen who frequent the
line of the Philadelphia, Baltimore &
Washington railroad between Philadel-
phia and Baltimore, held royal ban
quet, with silver sets valued at $4,000,
says the Philadelphia Record.
Solid silver was handled by the road
sters and outcasts as If 1t were nothing
more than ordinary tinplate and the
story of the night dinner rivals that
of the Millionaire club.
The scene of the midnight feast was
in grove near Perryville. A freight
car had been broken open and some Of
Tiffany's finest art gems in solid silver,
consigned by the New York house to
parties in Washington, we're stolen
and carried to the grove.
Foraging parties we're sent out by
the nomads and sooa silver chatting
dishes were used for frying chicken
and gold-lined goblets were utilized for
quaflng the foamlng beer.
In the height of the frolic police and
detectives swooped down on the mer-
rymakers and made one or two ar
rests, but the majority of the Weary
Willies" made their escape. The rail-
road authorities have been keeping the
real facts quiet.
