The Old Orchard fire is said Ia
nay" been the second largest in tho
state Of Maine. exceeded only by the
Portland fire of 1SGG.-RoSton Herald.
1t is very doubtful if the Old Or
chard fire caused n greater loss than
that involved in the Augusta fire OF
September 1868. In that great fire the
business section of our city was wiped
out. 50 buildings being destroyed. 4g
brick buildings ana 81 wooden ones
10th sides Of Water street were swept
from Winthrop street to Bridge. The
total loss was over 100000 This fig

loss at old Orchard. but the first state
ment Of loss after Il fire is almost al
ways an exaggerated one and it is
rr"hahi" that this will prove to be the
case in this instance.

story of an amazingly audaclous
swindle comes from Madrid, Spain. The
heroine is a handsome, elegantly
dressed woman who the other day Wis
tied a specialist in mental diseases on
behalf Of her husband, who, she said.
was a sufferer from religious mania.
Having explained the case, it was ar
ranged that she should return in about
an hour with the afflicted husband.
The next scene of action was a jew
eler's shop in another part Of the city,
where she selected diamonds to the val
ue Of 5000 on the understanding that
she would buy them If her husband ap-
proved. Would someone accompany her
home In cab and the money would be
paid Immediately?
A trusted clerk was sent and with
him the lady drove back to the Doctors
house. In an ante-room she took the
stones Gust to show them to her hus-
band" then entering with sublime as
surance the doctors study, she In
formed the specialist that her husband
was now In the ante-room and ready
to be examined.
Leaving a visiting card, the lady |
took her departure and the DOCTOR bid |
ding the supposed patient to enter, pro-
ceeded at his leisure to ask profess |
sional questions. The jewelers. man
was puzzled at first, but soon he real
lied that he had been made the victim
Of a clever fraud. The doctor. how
ever, interpreted his agitation as
caused by his complaint and when
after two hours matters were finally
explained the lady impostor had van
shed with her spoils without leaving

Indians with blue Eyes.

One of the mysteries of Mexico is
presented by the Maya Indians, who
inbabit the Sierra Madre mountains in
the lower part Of Sonora. They have
fair skins, blue eyes and light hair, and
students of ethnology have always
been puzzled to account for them.
There is a tradition, however, that
those Indians are the descendants of
the crew and passengers of a Swedish
vessel wrecked on the Mexican COAST
centuries before Columbus discovered
the new world, but this tradition is,
founded on nothing more substantial
than folklore tale current among
them that their ancestors came over
