A Small Fire.
Our city was thrown into a state ol
excitement and confusion yesterday
afternoon about three o’clock,over the
alarm of fire. The streets were crowd
ed with vehicles of every description,
and the police began at ones to clear
the way for No 1 hose wagon, which
soon dashed down Hill street as fast
as their spirited horses would run.
Tbo fire originated ic the building
on Broad street formally occupied by
Morris A Kell for their foundry and
machine shop.. The building was
totally destroyed and tbe old wooden
structure sdjoining it was so badly
burned that it will be torn down.
But for the heroic work of the fire
department, the livery stable of Bob
Griggs would have been burned. Tbe
fire was exceedingly hot, but tbe men
worked with blistering hands and
faces until they got it under control.
Tbe building in which the fire orig
inated was occupied by P. T. Archer,
as a mattress factory, but he was going
out of business and only bad on band
some straw. It is thought that some
one passing the building threw a
match or a cigar into tbe straw, which
started the fire.
Both tbe buildings burned belonged
to the city and tbe lose will amount to
between 1700 and 11,000, upon which
there was no insurance.
Bob Griggs* loss amounts to only a
few dollars and was insured by Roewell
H Drake A Co.

A flwestion That th* Tree May lx
Nelson G Trefry baa a plan of en
couraging nature by tbe propagation
of trees that will relievo tbe country
of malaria and fever. The plan, to the
casual observer, may seem somewhat
unusual, an-l may even appear to be
visionary, but an investigation into its
merits, as established by scientific
men, will ebow wbat it may be worth
to our people In tho fever stricken dis
tricts.
Tbe plan, in simple, Is to plant tbe
eucalyptus globulus, or Tasmanian
blue gum tree, in tbe fever districts,
and tbe tree will do the rest. This
tree baa tbe reputation ol possessing
tbe pioperty ol drying up tbe earth
and absorbing malaria.
Mr. Trefry, who has been a gardoer
in Toledo for aix years, has a number
of that he baa picked up
io bis travels about tbe world.
Mr. Trefry has a specimen of tbe
Australian blue gum tree which be '
proposes to plant in Cuba and Porto
Rico.
•‘They grow to be 200 feet in height,”
said Mr. Trefry. "Their growth is rapid,
and this is perhaps one of the rea
sons for their peculiar merit. The
eucalyptus has these slender, leathery
leaves, and you notice tbe quantify of
aromatic oil which they contain. In
some of the eucalyptus each side of
tbe leaves is equally exposed to the
light. Tbe tree, when grown, has a
great commercial value. When
green the wood is soft, but when it
gets dr, it is hard and very tough. It
is better than hickory as a firewood.
It may be used for shipbuilding and
for cabinet work, as well. Tbe tree
also produces kino, a substitute for
quinine, while tbe bark is more valua
ble than other trees in tbe production
of tannin.”
These words of Mr. Trefry are back
ed op by late encyclopedias and medi
autboritiea. It is stated that the use
of the tree in fever districts in Algeria,
Boman Campagna and tbe Cape of
Good Hops has been attended with
tbe beet results. Mr. Trefry himself
knows the worth of these trees in
Fresno valley, California, where their
use made habitable wbat is now one of
the best districts in that great state.
Mr. Trefry speaks of ibis in a letter
to J. H. Brigham of tbe department of
agriculture. He also gives a few facta
in regard to bis experience. For tbe
last twenty five years bo has devoted
bio entire time to floriculture and hor
ticulture. He baa worked for the
Chicago Floriculture Company, the
private place of I. C. Flood, at Mens
Io Park, Cal.; W. F. Kelsey, nursery
man, Oakland, and waa gardner for
tbe Panama Canal Company, with
headquarters io Colebra, for several
years.
His proposition to tbe government
for the propagation of the trees is most
reasonable. The plan is fair, as Mr.
Trefry does not ask tbe government
for a contract for planting the trees,
but merely wants tbe supervision of
the work, the government itself
t) handle the trees. Mr.
Trefry expects tc make Toledo bis
home for tbe rest of his life, and would
merely go to Porto Rico temporarily,
and would not think of giving up bia
business here.—Toledo Blade.

STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE.
As a rale the mountaineer Os Ken
tucky is not a gastronomic connoisseur,
and the visitor at his table is quite as
likely to hear dried apples referred to
aa “fruit” as be is to find any other
kind of fruit on the table. Occasionally,
however, one of them is sufficiently for
tunate to get away from his fastnesses,
and living tern, orarily down in the
blue grass has an opportunity to acquire
some virtues not otherwise obtainable.
It was such a one I caught up with one
morning in June along the ridge of the
Cumberlands. .

after a few preliminaries, “where I can

“Is it a pretty good place?” I in
quired thoughtlessly.
Tbe young man’s face flushed.
“Well, X reckon,” he said with some
emphasis. “She’s goto to be my mqfii
er-in-law come next September.”
“Oh, I beg your pardon,” I hastened
to explain. “I only asked to know if
she had good eating. Some of that we
get in private houses even in the cities,
you know, is not the best in the world. ”
“Cities be darned, ” he said with a
fine feeling. “Yer ain’t never tried the

I did not like to Inquire further into

I made a fair guess and went on to see

BTORY OF A HAT.
Bevealing the Secret of IU Two Tripe
Around a Table.
A number of literary men were at one
time gathered in a well known chop
house in New York. The conversation
was of course brilliant, and the repartee
sparkled with mirth and wit. During a
lull in the talk the door slowly opened,
and an old southern darky, grizzled
with age, poked his head in and then
slowly drew his body in after him. A
waiter started to eject him, when one
of the gentlemen cried:
“Wait a moment Let’s see what the
old boy wants.”
The darky bobbed up to the table
where this gentleman sat and held out
his hat Throwing a wink to his neigh
bors, the gentleman took the hat and,
makings show of placing something
into it, passed it on to the next man,
who did likewise. The hat made a tour
of the room, to the puzzled wonder of
the darky. Tho last to receive it sol
emnly handed it back with a polite
bow, saying:
“There, sir, don’t yon think yon have
something to be thankful for?”
The old darky looked solemnly around
the company and, mechanically taking
the hat, he said:
“Gen’men, I’ze indeed glad dat I got
eben de hat back!”
The reply was so thoroughly enjoyed
by the company that the darky left the
place a much richer man than when he
had entered it.—Kansas Oity World.
