New Worthwhile the worst STORM
of many winters howled around them'
a dozen fire companies under the per-
sonal direction of Chief Croker for
eight hours fought stubborn fire in
Kip's Bay brewery at 1st avenue and
38th street. All the men suffered in
tensely from long exposure, and hVe
Of them were more or less seriously
hurt by being caught beneath wall
Of the high brick building, which
toppled over into the street this after
noon Whirling clouds of snow and
dense smoke in which they were work
ing made it impossible to observe the
danger
The serious nature of the fire was
recognized soon after it started and
within a few minutes Chief Croker
was in command of large force of
fremen called out by three alarms.
The greatest trouble was found In
lighting the flames in the malt house,
where hundreds of thousands Of bush
els of grain were stored. Employees
in many nearby factories were so bad
ly frightened that they refused to con-
tinue at work and about 500 of them
were allowed to go home for the day.
The financial loss is placed at about
S15O,0OO.

blizzard at Halifax.

Halifax, N. S.-A terrific blizzard
has been raging here. The wind was
blowing a gale from the northeast,
with a binding snowstorm in prog
ress. Great drifts of snow we're piled
on the streets and all traffic was i'm
peded.
The tram company had difficulty In
keeping its lines open. All the trains
were behind time and no mails were
expected to reach the city for several
hours
The storm was so bad on the water
front that the schedule of the ferry
steamers plying between Halifax and
Dartmouth was disarranged and the
boats had great difficulty in reaching
their docks.

Salt an Extra In india.

'In India" said the tourist, putting
down the salt cruet, "in India your
restaurateur would charge you six
pence for a serving of salt like this"
Isn't the salt thrown in? Don't
you get it for nethng"'
mot in India. You order your salt
there the same as you would order a
chop or a potato, and you are charged
for 1t on the bill. 1t seems funny to
see this charge, Salt, so much
salt is costly in India on account
of the enormous salt tax that the
English government levies. In con-
sequence the people are careful of the
salt over there. They don't waste O
grain of t."-Baltimore Herald.

shoes which are now quite generally
seen in this city and elsewhere in
the provinces are made principally in
Paris with machinery imported from
the United States.
This does not alter the fact that
some bona-fide American shoes are on
sale here, but they are much dearer
than the French-made articles, and it
is not likely that they will make head
way against the strong combination
which is represented by cheap French
labor and prolific American machln
