The liver is such a delicate organ

There are no bad after effects from

harm either children or grown-ups and
is an excellent preventive of chronic

the board of directors of the Supreme

over 3 CITY BLOCKS
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Loss at Jersey City Estimated
At 100000

Jersey City, August 21.-More than
forty dwellings and factories, covering
a space equal to more than three city
blocks in the Lafayette section of THIS
city were destroyed by fire today in
less than three hours. The flames
were still raging at 2:3O o'clock, bat
were reported under control. AS far as
could be learned there was no loss Of
life. The property loss was estimated
at 100000.
Probably 400 persons were made
homeless and six large manufacturing
plants were wiped out. The pillar of
fame and smoke which arose from the
|confagration could be seen for miles
around.
Forty dogs under observation for hy-
drophobia, in a shelter of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails were shot to death just before
the flames reached that building.
All the ambulances in the city were
sent to the scene to attend firemen ov-
ercome by smoke or burns.

Reb Russell is the fayorite to oppose

Neither team has a hospital list,
and not even bruise has been re-

through the season unhurt. Schultz,
who has been out of the game for
the Cubs, is not in bad shape, and will
be there when the bell rings next
Tuesday.
Setting forth the qualifications of
the battery men in the city and
worlds fights has been left to the
last, and as we had a bunch some
thing would develop to change the
aspect of things somewhat. 1t hasn't.

" Right here at home we'll get view
of pitching and catching talent the
equal, if not the superior, of that to

four crack pitchers and one of the
best catchers in the business. Evers

average ability, and a catcher who
can travel with the best. ..~
Go over the other teams and find a
better quartet of gunner than Cicot-
tie, Russell, Scott and Benz. It can't
be done, even on New York's East

delve while.

about our person.
Day in and day out, CalIahan's
pitching staff is the better, by safe
margin. Of that there is little doubt.
How they will go in short series
lined against team that can readily
hit is the question. In the past they
have battled the best and gotten by.
Connie Mack's Athletics found the
Sox boxmen the hardest crew in the
league to do business with. Just re-
member that when figuring the Cubs
will kill the offerings of the South
Siders.
Russell should go strong against
the Cubs, who do not like left-hand-
ers, especially one of the Rebels
class. He has nice curve, smart
speed and control What more he
could have, we don't know. He could
use some experience, but hash

Cicotte is at last somewhere near
the place he merits in the percentage
of games won and lost, though with
q team which could hit he would be
trailing the leaders. Time after time
this season Eddie has won games
with a margin of only two runs to
work on. But we don't expect him to
be as effective against the Cubs as

FIRST PARADE IN 1882
knights Of Labor Of New York inaug-
urated the March, az Celebration
Of the Day, In tho Eastern
Metropolis That Year.

w UNLIKE other holidays that are
observed by the American peo-
~ pie, Labor day did not have its
beginning in the commemora-
ton Of any great event in the worlds
history and for that reason there is
considerable Goubt as to who was re-
sponsible for It's birth,
There are many who lay claim to
being the originators of Labor's ma
tional holiday, and there have been
many chronological tables produced
in support Of each ones claim. Au-
thorities, however, are almost unani-
mously agreed that the celebration
that has now become one of the ma
tional holidays was given its first
impulse by the knights of Labor in
New York In 1882.
Those who took part in this first
movement did not, they say, at that
