ESTABLISHED IN 18 SWEPT BY FLAMES nCNIC COST NE W ORLEANS OVER A MILLION DOLLARS. Firemen Were Out in Suburbs En joying Annual Holiday Event and Flames Gained Headway. Fire, which broke out in the cen tre of the commercial district of New Orleans. La., Sunday.. afternoon; swept over portions of three blocks, destroying a large number of wholer *sale houses, manufacturing plants and small stores. Originating at Bienville and Chantres streets, the flames worked their way north as far ?as Conti street and west toward Roy al, bringing about a property loss of J between one and two million d&TTarsI "before they were finally subiued. Several circumstances combined to give the fire a headway which proved hard to overcome. At the time the ^alarm was turned in, shortly before three o'clock, the New Orleans fire men were in the midst of their an nual picnic at a suburban park and the engines responded with a mere handful of men. It was nearly an hour before the ?department was in a position to make anything like a successful fight .against the fire, and even then the handicap against it was added to by ?n inadequate supply of water. The fire was one of the most spec tacular that has occurred in New Or-| leans during recent years. The sec tion devastated was made up largely ot old buildings, some over a half ?entury in use. They proved like so much tinder to the flames, and fanned oy a high wind, the fire made rapid progress.' Twoware houses, filled with wines and liquors, were among the build ings destroyed by the fire. As they bttrned the barrels of whiskey and brandy exploded with thounderous roars which could be heard for blocks and which shook Hie wa'ls of ad joining buildings and endangered the lives of firemen engaged in fighting the flames. i It was not until several hours had ?eiapsed that the fire was gotten un ?der control, and even then it contin ued to burn well into the night.

Few Men Who Know Anything About the Great White Plague will be Absent. A dispatch from Washington, says active preparations for the big tuber culosis congress that is to begin its sessions in that city September 21 are now well under way, and as stat ed in this correspondence there is hardly a man in this or any other country who knows anything about this dread disease who will be ab sent from the meetings. Installation of the exhibits for the congress, which will be placed on dis play for the benefit and study of the delegates, will be commenced early next week by Dr. Henry Beyer, U. S. N., chairman of the committee on exhibits. "Every thirty-six minutes- there is a death from consumption in the Stifte of New York;" is the remark able statement that will appear on one of the charts to be shown in the New York section of the exhi bits. To many the death figures given here will be surprising and even startling. The great majority of people have no conception of the aw ful ravages of this diseaue?the dead ly work of the "Great White Plague." More profound still is the ignorance of the nature of the disease. Be lieving and regarding it as heredi tary and therefore practically incur able,, humanity has for many years suffered tuberculosis to go uncheck ed, but science has lately come to the front and it has been clearly proven time and time again that the disease 1s not near so bad as it seems when ordinary precautions are tak en and when common scense tactics are employed to stamp it out when it is first discovered. To disseminate our present day knowledge of the means and methods for checking and securing control ov er this terrible scourge, an education al campaign of the highest Impor tance to humanity and to science was carried on in many cities of New York State during the last year. But the people in the rural districts? those who ore not permitted because of their isolated situation to take ad vantage of. what is allowed those in the cities?are to be better taken care of in the future. ? To *them should be imparted all the informa tion possible about the disease,-Its origin, and the proper and only thorough method of effectually get ting rid of itj - It is a noteworthy fact that figures compiled by the census bureau show conclusively that ? more people con tract and die from tuberculosis in the small towns than In the larger Qities in proportion to the number of inhabitants per square mile. The exhibits that are to form part of the congress will be made up of maps, diagrams, models of well light ed and well ventilated factories and those ill-kept and badly ventilated for the purpose of comparison. There will be many models of sweat-shop work rooms taken from actual life in New York, Chicago and other cit ies where the tuberculosis germ lnds an excellent breeding place in many instances. Pictures of dispensaries and sanitariums where consumptives are treated until restored to health and vigor will also be shown. It is the opinion of Dr. Beyer and others arranging for the congress that if those really interested in the crusade against the ravages of tuber culosis will take the trouble to i-ome to Washington during the time the convention is being held they may learn facts th?>! will be of inestimable value to them and that will in many cases, save the lives of their loved ones. All may come who wish. There will be no restriction and the sessions of the congress will be open to the public. Not only this, but the ex hibits just mentioned, the finest col lection In all probability that has ever jbeen gotten together at any one time before, will be free and will be ex plained by skilled- scientists 11111 GAMBLERS FLEECE YOUTH. Captain of: Liner Helps a Heidelberg Graduate Keep His Funds. A news dispatch from New York say a wise captain, a letter of cred it and a effincient service saved Au- j gust Walter, recently graduated from the meshes of a quartette of profes sional gamblerB who tried to get his money on board the liner Kronprin zessin Cecllie, which arrived at New York Tuesday from Bremern. The young man met the gamblers in the smoking room of the steamer soon after she cleared the English channel. They induced him to throw dice for $5 a throw and let him win. Then they let him lose, and when he showed a letter of credit and ex plained that he would give them' checks, they told him that it was all right and urged him to continue the game. . When he had handed out I. 0. U.'s to the amount of $1,520, the young man decided to stop. He said he would get some cash before the steamer docked and pay up before he landed. A fatherly . German ap-j proached the Heildel burg, man later, and told him the men were profes-l sional gamblers. Young Walter unburdened his tale to Capt. Hodgemann, and he sent a wireless message for the boy to the latter's banker's in New York, advis ing them to refuse payment of the checks, if presented. When the steamer docked, there was no scene, and the gamblers did not refer to a cash payment of the debt. They were informed of Capt. Hogemann's action, and will be apprehended if they attempt to cash the checks. SUICIDE WAS A TEACHER. No Reason Known for Prof. Krcwer's Self Destruction. More light was thrown upon the identity of J. M. Krewer, who com mitted suicide at a downtown hotel in Chicago on Tuesday, by J. L. Hill, a teacher in French and German, staying at the same hotel, who said that Krewer was a teacher in Ger man and French at the University Schooi at Louisville. Hill said he was acquainted with Krewer for several years and during the past summer. Krewer had been an instructor in a school in New York. From papers found among the sui cide's effects, the police learned that Hill knew Krewer. A telegram was sent to New York, where Hill lives, and an answer was received in which it was told that Hill was at the ho tel in Chicago. Hill was surprised on hearing of Krewer's death.

Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and New York for Bryan and Kern. Chairman Mack, of the Democratic national committee, arrived Tuesday in New York to inaugurate the >cam palgn in the East. He said: "The elements of doubt in the coming election are being swept away by the drift of. the coun try toward the Democracy. I am ab solutely confident of the election of Bryan and Kern. I say this frankly, from the fact that reports received of convasses made are the indexes that the next administration at Wash ington will be Democratic. "Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and New York will undoubtedly go Democratic this year." * Prayer and Big Navy Go Together. Capt. Hohson who has been travel: ing up and down the country de claring for a big navy and warning the people against the danger of war with Japan, stated recently that some people say he is not In sympathy with the Christain spirit. He declares that if it had not been for prayer there would not have been a Merri mac victory and the Spanish fleet would not have been bottled in Santiago harbor. Too Drunk to Sec the Bait. It was a great time for the fish but a sad one for the fishermen, the day the Greenbauer was burned near Midway. Ky. Over 50.000 barrels of whisky was dumped into the creek. The fish became so drunk they didn't care for any bait hue spent their time dying m swim above wat?sr and walk on the bank of the creek. * Fake Whiskey Must Be Branded.

A dispatch from Augusta Friday says the flood water is receding rapidly and as the water leaves the streets it is apparent that the loss has been underestimated. In addi tion to the disasters already report ed it is found that the Riverside Mills, in damage to plant and loss of cotton which floated away, sus tains a losa of $100,000; Reid's cot ton ware house, the best in the South is damaged in a large sum, but it will require a survey to determine the amount; Triangular block, where the wholesale houses are assembled, is badly injured. The Neison, Morris & Co's ware house has collapsed and is being ranged; the Augusta Grocery Company's building is damaged in $6,000; Hill & Merry escaped seri ous loss; C. D. Carr & Co., Pauli, Mustin & Murphy are comparatively s.ightly damaged; the National Bis cuit Company building is wrecked. The Central Grammer School is bad ly hurt, and the Davidson Grammar School is damaged severely. In ad dition to the llres already reported it developes that there were tea smaller houses burned in different sections of the city. As the water goes down further it is feared that damage similar to the Traingular block damage will develop. As to the loss of life twenty-two bodies have been recovered and corpses are found every hour or so. The captain 'of the river steamer Swan, which got in Friday, reports that he saw on the up-trip, at least 25 corpses, all negroes except one, a white man. There are reports of many drownings among negro farm hands in the lower valley. The Chronicle estimates the death list at sixty. The citizens in mass meeting, the city council in special session and the board v.. health in-special session have taken Measures to reneve the1 distress. Citizens are subscribing to a fund to help the poorer people in the submerged districts, for portions of the town are still under water. There is sure to he the greatest suf fering, and relief must be quick to prevent starvation swelling the death list. In some districts people who cannot leave their houses have not tasted food since Wednesday night. Augusta is trying hard to measure up to the demand upon her. At the public meetings it was decided not to make an appeal for outside assist ance, but to accept any contributions offered. It is 'a question if the citi zens' meeting and city council did not err in declining to make a public appeal for assistance, and many be lieve they will yet be compelled to ask aid of the outside world. It is certain that the mayor will gladly ac cept contributions, and he so publicly 3aid in reply to Atlanta's inquiry. * LOST ROLL OF $180.

She advertised the loss and the next day $82 was return ed to her by a messenger boy. It had been found at the hotel by Mr. Cavallon, who insisted that the roll contained only the amount returned to tte ower. Miss Burke then brought suit against Mr,. Cavallon for. the balance. The,latter, said he did not.return the money promptly because Ose amount found did . not tally, with the' adver tisemet, and he feared, he would be suspected of having held out the dif ference, $98.
