Seventy-live Blocks Save Been Destroyed in Baltimore. The city of Baltimore has suffered from the most destructive fire ever known. It virtually swept the majority of the large wholesale house?, banks, etc, and from the humblest home and business to the most magnificent building in the city. The fire originated Sunday morning at 11 a. m in the wholesale dry goods house of John E. Hurst & Co. It is estimated that one hundred and fifty acres of magnificent buildings in Baltimore have been burned. The fire underwriters put the loss at $200,000,000 and do not know where the loss will stop. The fire is the greatest in the history of the world and now exceeds in loss the great Chicago fire in which the loss was nearly 8200,000.000. Some fire insurance companies are practically ruined by the insurance loss. The Dumber of people thrown out cf employment cannot be estimated The casualties are fortunately very few. The state milita and regulars were called into service to preserve order. There were more buildiDgs afire at one time than there were streams of water available. In the face of such overwhelming odds the combined efforts of the Baltimore department as a whole, and picked details from Washington, Wilmington, Philadelphia and New York, were miserably inadeq*te. The fire raged for twenty-four hours. Are You Restless at Right And harassed by a bad cough? Use Ballard's Horehound Syrup, it will secure you sound sleep and effect a nrnmnf. and rftdiftni ?nr?

Dear Sir: You are interested in the prosperity of your town. You can contribute to it materially, and give it a far more prosperousjook at the same time. Perhaps the public property needs a good coat of paint. Devoe will Bupply that coat with two-thirds of the number of gallons required of any other. Devoe will last twice as long as any other. Devoe i6 all paint and full-measure. JDevoe is the strongest paint known. Devoe 1 will take care of the property, in the I long run, for half the money required by any other. ' The reason is stated above: Devoe ; is all paint and full-measure; the strongest paint known. ' E D. Jewell, Corry, Pa., painted his house 5 years ago with a mixed paint, took 14 gallons.
