A New Postoftice Ruling.

Local postmasters have received an
order from Postmaster General Cortel-
you which places ban on all general
newspapers publishing the results of
raffies and church fair lotteries and pro-
hibiting such publications from the use
of the mails. The order is sweeping in
its provisions and calls upon postmasters
to strictly enforce the laws. This means
that in future when there is a church fair
of any kind with a rattle or lottery attach
ment, or if there is any one with shot
gun or watch, to rattle, the winning
numbers may not be printed in the news
papers. Endless chain enterprises for
the sale of articles by the circulation of
coupons, ect., are also barred. So strict
is the order that it commends itself to
all who have heretofore had an interest
in these matters.-Western Publisher.

Say, now. is l. anE wonder,
 When the days are parched and hot That a fellow gets to dreaming
 Of an old-time orchard lot; Of the path that winds off through it Of the trees wide spreading shade Of the brook beneath the orchard, Where he used to go to wade. Is it any. any wonder
 When the precipitation rolls That he dreams of going fishing In remembered fishing holes? That he'd like to go, and perching On the moss grown orchard wall, Watch the blue sky through the
 branches
 Where the scolding catbirds call. When the city's parched and breath
 less.
 And is swelteTing with heat, Then the paths we knew in bOyhoOd Lure our city-weary feet, Then our mind goes out in fancy From the dust and grime and sun To the old-time orchard meadow
 Where the grassy pillows run. When We look into the mirror, Laggard rising, at the morn, And it gives us back our features
 Wrinkled, full of years and worn, Is it wonder we remember
 Orchard lots and scenes of joy? Is it any, any wonder
 That we wish we were a boy?

Wilmington was visited by one OF
the most disastrous fires yesterday
which has occurred il this city Ter 2
long time past. The total loss is csli-
mated at between $4,000 and $40. 600
fully covered by insurance. Yesterday
morning about Q o'clock smoke was
seen issuing from the building on Mar
ket street occupied by Samuel Bear,
ST., and Sons. This building is three
stories high and has two entrances. No.
IS and 20. When the fire was discoy-
cred an alarm was quickly turned IN
and it was but a few minutes before
the ire department was on the scene.
Chief Schnibben at once made an eff
fort to go to third floor of No. 70,
where the fire was, but the dense
smoke drove him back. 1t was only a
short time before several streams CT
water were turned on the building,
but the fire had gained such Roadway
before it was discovered hat it could
not be easily got under control. The
firemen fought bravely and on one occa-
sion Chief SchniDben and two fireman
came very near being caught under
some falling timbers. Once during The
fire Mir. Mike Bryan, a fireman, was
overcome by the smoke and had to be
carried from the building. After reach
ing The fresh air he quickly revived.
There were several of the old fire.
men men who belonged to the volunteer
fire department., before the paid de-
partment, who were present yesterday
and when they saw that the firemen
were having hard work to Subdue the
flames they volunteered and rendered
valuable assistance.
The fire not confined TO the store
of the Samuel Bear, Sr., and Sons, but
also spread to the Globe Saloon, which
saloon was conducted by Casey and
Schiller. This building was not dam
aged very much out the fixtures in the
saloon and stock were badly damag-
ed. The building is owned by Mr.. NJ.
NJ. Parker.
Samuel Bear, Sr. and Sons are
wholesale grocers and also handle
country produce. On the floor where
the fire originated, and no one
knows how it did originate, was stored
country produce and On the floor just
below a S goods.
The building a. NO. 1S Is owned ny
estate of Samuel Bear, Sr., and No. 20
by the estate of Sol Bear. The build
ing of No. IS was practically %uninjur-
ed but No. 20 had the root burned Off
and the third foor badly damaged. The
damage by water will be far worse than
the damage by the fire. Samuel Bear.
ST.. and Sons carry a stock of betweene
500, 900 and $23, 900 and it is hard to 2s-
innate what the loss will be. Both
stores were flooded with water. On the
stock of Samuel Bear. Sr., and Sons
there was $1S,S 800 of insurance and $500
on the furniture and fixtures. The:
buildings we're fully insured.
On the Parker building there was
$4,000 of insurance and the Globe Sd
loon, stock and fixtures, 1850.
In addition TO the above named
stores being damaged, the store OF Ms,
E. Warren and Son vas damaged by
smoke and water. There is $4,000 ut
