out on the northern water front dur
ing the hurricane last night and was
carried by wind to the district to the
eastward, thickly covered with wooden
buildings, and in a short time twenty
acres were ablaze, causing a loss of
$1,000,000 and driving five thousand
people homeless into the streets,
Just as firemen began to despair Of
saving the large and populous area,
east of Second avenue, the wind sud

to fall, materially aiding the fire fight
ers by quenching the Goals blowing to
the roofs of the houses.
So far as known only three persons
were seriously hurt. although many of
the firemen were slightly injured.
Sixty horses were burned in barn.
This district has long been considered
dangerous risk and the insurance
rates so high that most of the light
wooden buildings carried little or no
risks.

with the youth and the dash, 1t
merely gives a boyish look that is
oddly pleasant to her figure. She
stoops her shoulders. Her face is
long and narrow, and looks more
so than 1t actually Is because she
wears her hair parted and drawn
loosely down into braided knot at
the nape of her neck. With curious
perfection do her eyes and hair
match. Both are a rather light but
very live shade of brown, and they
appear almost vivid against the
heavy white of her complexion.

What this power Of influence is, we do
