BAD STATE STREET FIRE.
Loss May Amount to $5O,OOO

. A large stock of matches stored on the fourth floor of the Blm City Man ufacturing company in the Parker building at SS5 State street were dis covered by mice early yesterday morn ing. in consequence of which there was a fire, causing a loss through flame, smoke and water of upwards of $50, 900. The fire department had a sev- eral hours fight on hand when they arrived and one engine remained on the scene until nearly o'clock last evening.
 The principal loss was sustained by the Elm City Manufacturing company. Edward E. Hall &, Son also had large loss, principally due to water. Other sufferers were New Haven Paper company, Norman Printers Supply company, Rohans Five and Ten Cent store, Spier Coal company Mendel & Freedman storehouse and Stafford Printing company. The New Haven Paper company had on hand a large stock of about two and half million blank pastors for the coming election, which were saved.
 A storehouse of Mendel & Freedman, largely stocked with blankets and com fortables, was damaged by smoke and water so that the stock was partially injured.
 The building was completely gutted on the top floor and the roof was bad ly wrecked. The lower floors were damaged by water more than fire, though the third was considerably l burned.

THE FOOD. VALUE OF
THE IRISH POTATO
Water and Starch Constitute NinetyStk Cent or rs
Composition.

With the exception of bread, the
food most commonly found upon the
table is the white or Irish potato.
This vegetable, now so popular, has
not been known to the people of the
civilized countries as long as the
beans and peas, which were discussed
In the last paper. In fact the potato,
as an article of food, is a compare
lively recent discovery.
The name Irish potato is so COM
monty applied to this plant, that many
believe it to be native of Ireland.
It is, however, product of the new
world, and was found under cultiva-
ton by the natives when America was
discovered. It is believed that pota-
toes were carried from South America
to Spain early in the sixteenth GEN.

ginia by the Spanish explorers. His.

into Great Britain, but the majority
Of them agree that Sir Walter Raleigh

THE CURFEW BELL HAD RUNG.
That Explained Why the Small Boy
Wanted an Escort.

A resident of this city had a sur
prising experience few nights ago
while passing along one of the princi-
pal streets of Newport News, Va. He
was on his way to the shipyards, and
the figure of a boy suddenly appeared
before him.
Say, mister" said the almost
breathless boy, @do you care if I walk
down the street with your"
"Certainly not" was the mans re-
Spouse, Il always like to have COM
pany."
II only want to go short distance
with you," the boy said. *You know"
he added, 'the first bell has already
rung."
"The first belle" inquired the man
from Washington what bell are
you talking about?"
''The curfew bell,' he answered.
Don't you know what that is?''
It was admitted by the Washington
ian that he had heard of it, but never
before had he been in city where
such law was in force. When the
boy had made the explanation the
man was more than willing to accom-
pany him. The pair walked along
until they reached the entrance to the
ship yard.
Never mind about going all the
way home with me- said the little fell
low, II can run the rest of the way
and get there before the second bell
rings, and if can't I can keep in the
shadows and watch for the police"

eggs, milk. or cheese to supply the
needed proteid and fat The pioneer
dish of baked potatoes and milk sup
plies all the material necessary to
nourish the body It will be seen from
the composition of the potato that it
is not suitable food for the almost ex-
elusive use of a little child at the
period of most rapid growth. The
little one is building muscular tissue
as we'll as replacing that worn out by
exercise and needs much larger pro-
portion of proteid than the potato sup
plies. If, however, the child takes
plenty OF milk there will be no lack OF
muscle building food in it's diet.
The digestibility of the potato de-
ponds upon the mealiness. AS rule
the potato is easily and completely
digested, but, as is true in regard to
all starchy foods, it must be thorough
ly cooked or it is difficult of diges-
ton.

OF the times of famine, when the PEG.

Wouldn't Accent TIPS.


The honesty of John Chinaman is
attested by a remarkable occurrence
of recent date, the scene of which was
one of the best Chinese restaurants
of this city, says the Washington Star.
The observer of this example of hon
esty had refreshed himself by slipping
some of the finest brand Of tea the
house afforded, and had tasted, with
feelings of uncertainty, some of the
delicacies of shinese concoction. He
finally asked the amount of his bill
and paid it. He was curious to see
just how a Chinaman would accept a
tip, and wanted to make sure just
what he would do with such a perquis-
tie. For that reason he waited until
the man carried the money to the
cashiers desk, and then, waiting his
opportunity, beckoned the celestial tc
his side and placed a dime in his
hand. The celestial countenance was
illumined by broad smile, and the
man, expressing his thanks turned
on his heel and made straightway for
the till, where he deposited the tip
along with the money that belonged
to the house.
Since that time the erstwhile. patron
of celestial food has had a high re-
gard for Chinese honesty, but he has
not yet fully recovered his astonish-
ment over the characteristics of the
bland and patient waiter who was the
subject of his experiment.

PHRASEoL0oY.
Trouble Post ONCE Officials Had witt,
Phrase for. Postal Cards,

It's odd, isn't it," says a post office
official, "how numerous are the ways
In which some thought may be ex-
pressed by different people?
Some years ago the post Office de-
partment people at Washington found
themselves put to deal of trouble to-
prescribe the proper sentence to be
used on the face of a postal card ia
the end that the user thereof might
be admonished that he should place
nothing but the address on that side
Seven attempts were made before the
present phrase was adopted.
One Of the earliest cards was made
to bear the legend, Nothing but the
address can be written on this side,'
which was, of course, untrue, as many
persons could write more if they SO
desired, despite the regulation. Short
ly afterward this was changed to say,
Nothing but the address is to be-
placed on this side,' sensible enough
expression, but clumsy, and in way
amusing. So it was soon discarded.
The next issue of the cards was
inscribed, The address only to be
written On this side,' which it was
speedily observed might be construed
to bar the use of the typewriter. The
same objection was raised to Write
only the address on this side.'
Finally the post Office people be-
came almost hysterical about the mat
ter. The next issue of the cards in
formed the user that he could Write
only the address on this side, the mes
sage on the other which was not
only clumsy, but ambiguous and con-
veying wrong meaning, for, as mat
ter of fact, the post Office officials real
ly had no objection to person writing
the address on both sides.
Later the word only was dropped,
but without much improvement
Finally it was decided that there was
no use trying to be original, so the Of
ticials fashioned the phrase that is
now in use after the one used upon the
postal cards issued by the British.
Our English cousins say: The space
below is for the address only, and
Uncle Sam has This side for the adj
dress only"
