BIG BARN
With Tobacco is De-
stroyed by Fire.

A large tobacco barn belonging to
j. H. Duvall, who resides seven miles
northeast of the city, on the Green
vile road, was destroyed by fire
about 2 o'clock yesterday morning.
The building contained $4,000 pounds
of tobacco and the loss is probably
a thousadd dollars or more, with no
insurance. Mr.. Duvall had been
firing the tobacco, but the fire had
been pulled from under it early in
the night. The supposition is that
some of the Goals were left, however,
and the building caught in this man.

Captain Frark J. Smith, a well
known steamboat man OF the north
west, and an all-round transportation
expert, was in the city yesterday, ac-
companicd by Mrs, Smith, seeking
recorded data in relation to all the

ing a compilation covering the exact
details OF their careers, including the
re-modclling. changes, different serv-
ices, dimensions, routes, ages, and
their ultimate fates; in fact, all the
real things that happened then. This
will be put out first for the benefit OF
the old-time masters and others in
,erested in such things, and will be
followed in due course by personal
and anecdotal history OF these same
old boats, which will exceed in charm
and interest anything that has ever
appeared in this behalf Captain Smith
was at the custom house all Of yester-
day, overhauling the records and
found much OF deep concern in rela-
ton TO his unique quest Mr.. and

There is one city in the world to-
day which bears an absolutely unique
distinction, and that is Detroit-the
"City of Pills" So writes ], Oliver
Curwood in the Technical World
Magazine for April, This year it is
estimated that Detroit manufacturers
will make three-quarters of the
worlds supply of pills, or over o,oOO,-
100000 pellets, of all sizes, shapes and
colors, and intended for almost every
ailment OF human kind. In this city
are made over 1000 different varities
of pills, and if single seasons crop
was made of some deadly poison there
would be enough to depopulate the
entire globe twice over, To look at
it in another way, If this annual har-
vest was strung, like popcorn, the
rope OF pills would reach three times
around the earth at the equator.
To-day America is the greatest pill
consuming nation on earth, for, while
Detroit pills find their way to every
conceivable corner Of the globe, from
the frozen regions OF the Arctic to the
deepest Businesses of tropical jungles,
not more than one-third of the total
products leaves this country, the
average consumption being some
thing like sixty pills per capita per
