Under the headline "Conried's Re-
tirement," the Berliner Tageblatt, says:
"Conried's fame as a manager reached
its zenith in the winter of 1904. when,
despite the curse OF Bayreuth and in
the face Of the war council, he took
possession Of "Parsifal.' The Presby-
ferian bishops co who wept over the
offense to religion helped to advertise
1t. The rich were seized with a Par
sifaI fever and had to see the per-
formance. The receipts ran up to $780,
900 marks, and the back-stair dramat-
lists wrote that Bayreuth had been out
done. The same business capacity was
shown by Conried when he produced
on the Metropolitan stage the operettas
OF h Strauss and Millocker.'

According to recent experiments by
6tanilas Tetard, a widely known French
agriculturist, wheat and other cereals
can be protected against the ravages of
crows, which are particularly fond of
the grain when its sprouts are just
pushing above the ground. by treating
the seeds before they are sown with
q mixture of Goa tar. petroleum and
picnic acid. This treatment, which de-,
lays the growth of the seed for a day or
two, but causes no damage, imparts an
odor which is insufferable to the crows,
but which disappears after the sprouts
have attained a larger growth, when
they are no longer subject to attack.

Snow that the wheat crop from three
states had suffered from blight and
rust the uull market received it's i'm

over Sunday brought more apprehen-

showing reduced prospects the traders
went wild and refused to listen to OBJ

TWO CHICAGO ELEVATORS BURN.
Cigarette Responsible for $1,000, 900
Blaze at Chicago.


Chicago, Aug. 5. - Fire, which was
SO hot that the firemen could not get
nearer than block of it and which
made 1t necessary to play streams
on buildings three and four squares
away, yesterday afternoon destroyed
the Burlington elevators e and F,
the dock transfer warehouse of that
road and either burned or rendered
useless 100 box cars. The loss on the
grain in the two elevators is placed
by Armour & Co, who owned it, at
100000. The total loss is placed at
$1,000, 900.
The fire started at p. M in the
Burlington warehouse, supposedly
from a cigarette dropped near several
barrels containing chemicals. At the
6rst explosion, which shook every
building in the vicinity, the $50 men
employed in the warehouse and eleva-
tors fed, and it ia believed all es-
capped, although there were unconfirm.
ed rumors that three men hemmed in
by the flames had been unable to get
away.
Eighty fire engine companies and
three fire tugs had all they could do
to confine the confederation to its orig
.iDal limits. The intense heat render
ed any effort to save the elevators
hopeless. The streams OF water by
the time they had traversed the block
from the MOBILES were mere showers
Of spray. which quickly formed into
clouds Of steam. The iremen worked
continuously In shower OF sparks
and flaming embers which travelled Tor
blocks.

MIST RAISE RATES
SAYS HARTMAN
Readiustment Of the Railroad
Freight Tariffs Favored by
Rail Magnate.
OPTIMISTIC As 10 FUTURE
Worst Is Past and Better Times are
Visible on the Horizon-Money
Is Plentiful.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Edward h. Harri'
man. Just before his departure from
Chicago for the West last night, dls-
cussed the possibility OF general IN
crease of freight rates in the United
States.
THE American people ought to De
willing to pay the railroads proper
compensation for proper transporta-
ton service" he said. Such service
we are now performing, but for 1t we
are not receiving an adequate return.
III the railroads are to go on ex-
tending their lines, improving those
which are now operated and providing
new equipment to take care OF the
country's business, they must nave
more revenue.
Rates Should BE Raised.
81 am not in favor of cold, calcu-
lating. cruel and horizontal increase
In the rates. am not traffic man
and | do not know much about such
things, but | know that there is a
proper way to 60 about thing and
that there is a bungling way to do the
same thing"
Mr.. Hartman seemed to favor a
general readjustment of freight tariffs
rather than general increase. He
believed that many rates are too low
and should be raised, but he was op
posed to a straight 10 per cent in
crease in the carrying charges for all
commodities.
Money More Plentiful.
In speaking of the recent financial
distress Hartman declared that the
worst has been passed and money is
becoming more plentiful. He said
however, that the people must cease
viewing the railroads with the con
slant eye of suspicion.
He declared that he entered into
the recent deal affecting the Gould
roads to save the situation, but he de
clined to disclose any details of the
settlement between Mr.. Gould and
himself.
The money scarcity. he said, was
due to IAN abnormal condition Of the
public mind and he plainly limited al
the federal antitrust war as the imme
date cause.
Better Times Coming.
"The worst Is past" he continued
Better times are visible on the hori
zon. Conditions are improving. The
crop outlook is excellent. The bust
ness aspect is encouraging. The oper
and receptive mind with which the
people now view the situation gives
grounds for optimism

Unless there Is change Of wind

There is NO possibility Of estimat-

Flames Sweep Over Fernie.
For the last month forest fires have
been raging In the mountains of the
Elk river valley country, but they
have not been considered seriously.
Saturday morning . heavy wind
sprang up from the west. and early In
the afternoon the flames appeared
over the crest Of the mountains to the
west Of Fernie. They ran down the
mountain side. and before fire
guard could be organized had entered
the town.
Within an hour the town was DOOM
ed and the Inhabitants sought safety
In fight, leaving their all behind them.
All night and yesterday morning the
exodus continued, the destination be-
ing small prairie In the valley, three
miles south Of the town.
Three thousand Refugees.
At present 5000 people are camped
there In the open, their only protec-
don being shelters built OF brush or
blankets. while . constant shower Of
sparks from the burning area keeps
falling through the pall OF smoke by
which they are surrounded.
For time communication with
towns to the east was kept open. but
with the burning OF the bridge across
the Elk river this was closed. Scat
tered through the valley are many
small prasries, and all OF these have
their groups Of refugees. The hills il
all directions are q seething mass d
