The conclusion of the devastating work

The fire that started at Mob Hill

Tonight the main remaining fire was
confined to east of Van Ness avenue
and north of Union street, but was
burning it's way to the shore.
Late this afternoon the police broke
open every saloon and corner grocery
in the saved district and poured all
cutters.
Flames Reach Gas Tanks
At Z o'clock the flames had reached
the tanks of the San Francisco Gas
company, which had previously been
pumped out and were burning the ends
of the grain sheds, five in number
which extend further out toward the
point.
Flame and smoke hid from view the
vessels that lay off shore, vainly at
tempting to check the fire. No water
was available except from the water
side and it was not until almost dark
that the department was able to turn
fits attention to this point.
Fire Nearly Checked
At 6 O'clock it was believed that the
fire had been checked at Van Ness ave-
nue. and Filbert street. The buildings
on high slope between Van Ness and
Polk, Union and Filbert streets were
blazing fiercely, famed by high wind,
but the blocks were so sparsely settled
that the fire appeared to have but
slender chance of crossing Van Ness
at this point.

TERRIBLE scALY ECZEMA.
Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and

II had an eruption appear on my
chest and body and extend upwards

face were all broken out; also my
arms and the lower limbs as far as
the knees. l at first thought it was
prickly heat. But soon scales or
crusts formed where the breaking out
was. Instead of going to physician l
purchased complete treatment of the
Cuticura Remedies, in which I had
great faith, and all was satisfactory.
A year or two later the eruption APP
peared again, only little lower; but

cured another supply of the Cuticura
Remedies, and continued their use UNI

The Aqe Of Lead.

We are wont to speak of this era
as the "age of iron" and there is no
gainsaying that, industrially speaking,
iron is precious metal"
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, If not absolutely neces-
sary. to modern civilization, is that
other metal, lead. Soft yielding,
pliable, it is not much like its sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail
ties are what give it such prominent
place in the arts and industries.
Modern plumbing. requiring many
turnings and twistings, but. withal
tight joints would be almost impos-
sible without lead pipe. The great
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type, linotype
"slugs," monotype type all are
made of compositions of which lead
is the chief component-to say moth
ing of the bearings in the presses as
well as all other kinds of machinery
in which ''babbitt" metal is used
Solder is another lead product
what a field of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use of all to which lead is put--paint,
that necessary material which keeps
our houses looking pretty = inside
and out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many Of us thank metallic lead
for the comforts of paint? Yet the
l.,k t.. hut ~
tallic lead corroded by acid to white
powder known as white lead" OF
course, there are many limitations Of
white lead" some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name of ready-pre
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are lust as good" as
white lead. But all good paint is
made of the metal, lead, corroded and
ground to a fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead is also used in the coat
ing OF fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint.
RED Lead is another product o.
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron
steel or tin, and is used largely il
painting metal structures, such al
skyscraper skeletons, mills ant
bridges.
There are many other products o
the metal lead, such as litharge
orange mineral, etc, which are es
sential to many of the arts in which
we never imagine that lead would b.
of the least use.
Verify. we live in an age of LEAF
as well as Of iron.

"Cut out hot cream of tartar bis

PlCNICERS' RETREAT.

The picnic season at Rothchilds has
opened and there is hardly q day in the
week but what a party of pleasure
seekers from the city or elsewhere can
not be found at that resort and on
Sunday there are many who spend the
day there, taking their lunch baskets
with them, and who find much pleasure
in strolling along the banks of the river
or lounging beneath the shade of trees
and feasting their eyes on the beauty of
the place and listening 30 the warbling
of the song birds (The latter part of
the preceding sentence you can ascribe
as a theft from the works of Dora
Thorn or some other writer of cheap
love stories. We cut out that part
about daisies and buttercups and per-
fume ladened air. They are also en-
tertained at base ball, for every Sunday
witnesses a championship game be-
tween the Schofield nine and team
made up of farmers boys living in the
neighborhood. 1t is favorite place to
go to for those who own gasoline
launches, and q river ride on the Wis
conse at this season of the year is a
great pleasure. Rothclilds in early
June is beautiful place and this sea-
son is not an exception. 1t is hoped
that the dam which is to be built across
the river at that point at some time in
the future and the manufactures which
will follow, will not in any way destroy
the beauty of the place.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

A party of boys will be taken to Big
Tomahawk lake either June Goth or
July I'd where camp will be es-
tablished and maintained for ten days.
Swimming classes are being taken
out to Rib river three times each week,
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
The classes are confined to Z. M. G. A.
members only.
1t is expected that plans for the new
building will be received in about ten
days, wher the building committee will
confer with architects. 1t is quite like
~ that the position of the building, i. g.,
as to which street it will face, will be
left to vote of the contributors.
The second game of indoor base ball,
of series to be played between the
business men and seniors was played
Wednesday evening on the athletic field
and resulted in victory for the latter,
the score being 1914. This leaves a
victory apiece for each team. Six
games are to be played, one on each
Monday evening hereafter.
The tennis court is in excellent shape
and is in use almost constantly.
The business men are keeping up
their athletic work, despite the fact that
warm weather is coming on.
Mrs. II. G. Baker has presented the
association with two old valuable
pictures, one steel engraving, the
other an oil painting.
The physical director, w. H. Norman,
will depart for his home In Hamilton,

time he will attend a training school
and take course in physical examina-
ton work and gymnastics.

NO SUNDAY FUNERALS.

1t has about been decided not to hold
any more Sunday funerals in Wausau.
Therefore where deaths occur near the
latter part OF the week, the funerals
will be held on the next Mon
day. 1t is said the movement was
started by the liverymen, who have de-
cided to give their horses a rest on Sun
day hereafter. Except in cases of death
from contagious diseases or here
bodies are found I'M an advanced stage
of decomposition, no burials viii be
made on the Sabbath The plan has
been followe in other cities and has it's
bad as Well as commendable features.
The Merrill Advocate, in passing criti-
cism upon the movement says:
We must confess that we fail to see
just the particular hardship it entails
upon any one but the undertakers and
the undertakers are no more at the call
of the public than are the doctors, and
yet the latter call on patients on Sun
day as on other days. With all SYM
pathy for the ministers it must be re-
membered, that while Sunday is their
very busy day, church services occur
twice on that day and that funerals are
made to conform to their time and not
vice versa. And while unauestiOnabIy
it makes it harder for minister to have
a funeral on. that day, his busy day is
succeeded by days that are not so siren
uous. AS for the liverymen's obiec-
tion we see nothing in it at all that ap-
peals to US. Sunday funerals merely
prevent them from accepting more pro-
titable business on that day. This mat
ter of Sunday funerals means much to
the working man, who is often CON-
PEELED to lose week days wages that
he can lily afford to lose, in order to
bury his dead"

THE CEMETERY AS IT Is.

OF the Jack pine trees set out in Pine
Grove cemetery few years ago, nearly
all appear healthy and thrifty. A
number were killed two years ago by a
species of worm which infested the
trees and only prompt action saved
them from all being killed. The ones
thus destroyed were replaced by others
and now all are flourishing. These,
when they have reached certain
height, will make Pine Grove cemetery
one of the most handsome burial
grounds in the state, and it ought to
afford anyone pleasure to know he is
going to be buried there, but you will
find people who claim the subject is not
a pleasant one to talk about, or, to
plagiarize from Shakespeare, con-
summation not devoutly to be desired
If the cemetery association has any
spare land, provision ought to be made
now for the future, by setting out more
trees at once, for the cemetery must be
enlarged some time and jack pines don't
grow in a day. One thing which is
lacking is good driveways. This was
very noticeable on Memorial day
when people had to side step mud
puddles and many persons clothes
were soiled from splashes of mud from
horses feet The main driveway at
least out to be improved with crushed
rock or otherwise
