Was a Lucky Calamity.

As time passes it becomes more and
more evident that the big fire of two
years ago was lucky calamity for
Baltimore. In two days it cleared
away acres and acres of ancient, tum-
ble-down buildings that in the ordi-
nary course of events might have OBJ
structed the progress of the city for
years. 1t awakened enterprise; II
opened the way for new ideas and
new men; 1t aroused the city to the
need for general municipal house
cleaning and it provided an opportu-
nifty to widen narrow strees, to i'm.
prove useless docks and to do other
things. True enough, a great many
Baltimoreans were ruined by the fire
and their fate excites sympathy, but
great many more in the two years
that have passed have profited. To
day Baltimore is the better for that
terrible Sunday--more alert, more
modern, more prosperous and more
gressive.-Baltimore Herald.
