Ti« great fire which recently devas- tated one of the most flourishing busi- ness districts of the £aglisb capital vividly recalls the famous conflagra- tion of 1666, in which most of the city was destroyed. The fire of 16G0 began as a trifUng blaze in a baker's shop in Pudding Lane, not far from the Tower of London. An east wind, amounting almost to a gale, was blow- ing, and the baker shop became a starting point for the moat destruc- tive oonfla,gration in the hiatroy of the English capital. Pepys mentions in bis diary that on the 2nd of Sept«inber, as people were coming from the theatre their attention was attracted by a large fire near the tower. It seems to have made little impressioa on the minds of the popula.tion during that night, but on the following- day it had â- wept far to the west and interested everybody in London. Daring four days It raged extending from the Tower to the lemple Church, a dis- tance of over a mile, and when the flames were finally subdued, or rather were stopped by blowing up buildings ahead of them, an area of 136 acres was covered with burning debris. What loei of life there was by the great fire will cever be known, but i,t wa« believed at the time to mount up into thousands, for the buildings of London were at that time •f very flimsy coaatruction. mostly wooden; the streets were exceedingly narrow; many hardly wider and some not nearly so wide as the alleys in a modern city, and when the flames spread to a row of slight wooden build- ings, many persona were probably ov- ertaken, and burned to death or suffo- cated in an attempt to escaiie. For many weeks after the fire the odor of burned and DECAYING HUMAN FLESH, filled the air, and a long time elapsed before the ruins were finally cleared. Of buildings for resiJences and of- fices 13 200 were destroyed ; eighty- nine churches were burned, including old St. Paul's Cathedral, and nearly all the churches in "the city" except St. Giles', the one which suffered in last week's fire. Pepys tells of the homelebs nkultitudea on both sides of the river, of the 200,000 people who en- camped in IsUngtoo and alwut High- gate, and of the Inability of the police bf that day to cope with the crowds of rioters and ibievea who took advan- tage of the general distress during the fire to plunder shops, break Into houses and enrich themselves at the exteuse of the suffer^. . When thousands of men were hurrying to and fro with personal property of every description. it was impossible to say whether a man bad h\3 own or anothar's belongings BO the operations of rogues were made tasy. The point a.t which the fire was itayed is now marked by the London monjument, designed by Sir Cluistu- pher W^ren, and erected between 1671 and 1677. It ia ivi feet high. tncLud- Ing a 40-foot pedestal, cost £14.500, and at the top is the figure of an angel with outstretched arm stuyin^j the pro- gress of the flames. The great Chicitgo Clre surpassed both in extent and in liuss. even the (ire of London. The fire U^gan on the night of the 8th of October. Ili71, in a .stable, wherein M.rs. U'Ltary's fam- ous cow was housed. A party of rev- elers, in the adjoining tenement to that of Mrs. O'Leury wanted milk in which to atew oysters, and it not lie- Ing otherwise available. Ihey took a candle and proceeded to rob Mrs. O'Leary's oow. the candle was overset, the stable was burned, and thus Iwgan the GREATEST FIRE OF HISTORY. The Chicago fire is still fresh in thi; public mind, but its exact extent and the terrible character of the loan can scarcely be estimated by an array of statistics.! It raged more than two days, but during tliJit time acom- plished a destruction such as was nev- er Ijetore known in the history of any fire department. It covered over three and one-half s<iuar<> miles, or 2.240 acres and 17,450 buildings were complelely ruined. During the prtigreHH of the fire, 200 persons are known to have lost their lives. eitUiU' in the L'l^iiiies, in accidents from lalling walls or iu the streets; 98.000 wore luafle homeless, and the lo.ss exceeded $20:) U.OIW) Ihe great I(Ond"n fire was not a .souri-e of much grief to thP insurance companies, .for, although there were insurance com- panies then. Uieir business was on a small scale, but tlw insurance com- panies of Iwth the! I'nited States and Oreat Itritain were very seriously af- fected by t*»e Chicago blaze, and many of them Uiet so heavily as to he com- pelled to go out of business. Next in importan<-e to the great Chi- cago fire was the tire of Boston, which o.^ourred November 9 to 11, 1672. Like the other twr). it w:"i at first insigni- ficant, but developed a fury which par- alyzed the efforts of thw fire depart- ment, and resulted in a conflagration which destroyed fMMt business houses %nd residences an<l involved a loss of »v»r f 80.000.000. One peuuiuirity of the Boston firs was the fact that so-called fire-proof buildings suffered almost as much as others; great stone structures went down before the f lamas like cardboard. Fortunately, in the Bos- ton fire, the loss of life was trifling, although the damage tu busine.ss in- terests far exceeded the published sta- tistics of the actual loss. The ruin of the Russian capital, the Holy City of Che Czars, at the time of its occupation by the French army in 1812, was not the only disaster of this kind that Moscow had suffered. In 1570, a fire started, as in the great LouiKlon fire, in tjie s^op of a baker. ALL MOSCOW was then composed, with the exception of the Kremlin of wooden buildings, as the city was in the immediate vicinity of vast forests and pineries, and wood waa far cheaper than stone. There were then no fire departments; hand- bucket brigades proved entirely une- qual to the ecDiergeniy; the whole re- sidence portion of the city was de- stroyed .and after the fire was over 200.0110 per.Hons were encamped in the vicinity of the city. The fire of 1812 was the deUl»rate act of the city au- thorities at the. command of the Czar. On the approach of the French army the city was evat^uated by the entire population. This act was represent- ed as voluntary, but, in truth the in- hal)itant8 left their homes at the com- mand of an absolute monarch^ and ob- edience was enforced with a severity characteristic of a despotic ruler. The pe(H>le were literally driven out at the point of the bayonet, and ere the French occujiation liegan powder mines had been laid and piles of com- buMtihles set in every square in the city. The prisoners of the jails were releas- ed liefore the evacuation on the spe- caLl condition that they should remain in the city and set fire to th« houses. They did their work well, for the first night of the occupation flames burst out everywhere and raged in every quarter of the city until the whol> was destroyed. It is estimated that 15,501) houses were burnccl and the popula- tion of 300,000 was rendered homeless at the beginning of a winter of arc- tic severity. Tte historians of Rus- sia stats, th(.t, according to the best information obtainable, one-fourth of the exiles from Moscow perished of hunger and cold ere the advent of sprinig. THE CITY OF THE SULTAN has l)een the scene of a number of ex- ceedingly disastrous conflagrations. The construction of the Constantin- ople houses closely resembles both that Of Sloscow and London before the great ,fire. The i»ti-eets are very narrow, and in the Turkish. Armenian an<i Greek quarters the houses are of wood of very flimsy construction, the up- per stories projecting sometimes al- moHt touching across the street. In 1831 a great fire broke out which d»i- vastated almost the entire hill on which the city is builded; 18,000 houses were de-stroyed with great loss of life, Constantinople had many destructive fires before and has had many since, but this was the worst. There is no fire department in Turkey worthy the name, the engines t.eing worked by hand and the largest hose not surpas- sing in size the garden hose, used for .sprinkling lawns in this country. A remarkable custom prevails, or rather prevailed up to 1855, in the Yildiz Kiosk. When a fire of any impor- tance broke out in the capital one of the officers of the ISult.in's guards, with a yellow cloak wrapped closely round his form opened without cere- mony the door of the Sultan's lied I'bamber knocked on the fli;or with his saber until the monarch was aroused, and stood there like a yellow statue until the Sultan rose, dressiul. mount- ed his horse and, attended by his guards, went to the fire. Since the Crimean war. this, for some reason, has l)een discontinued, and the Sul- tan no longer attends Constant nople fires in person, being now represent- ed by the Grand Vizier or some other official. Great conflagrations are common in the crowded cities of Jainin, and Yed- do, Pekin and Canton have often suf- fered from the fire fiend. In one tire only a few years ago. at Yeddo, 150,- nOO people were runderBil homeless, but a fire in a Chinese or .lapaneae cily does not repro*'nt so much liestruction as would l)e c.auseil by the burning of even a warehouse in an American or European city, for the Imilding.t are mostly of light wood, cost only a few dollars and are easily replaced. Cairo, the ancient capital of Egypt, was. in 1824, almost blotted out by a confLagration that destroyed the .Arab portion of the lity Several great fires have a-curred in CALCUTTA AND BOMBAY. where the conditions prevai ing are â- lo.sely similar to those of China, Jap- an and Egypt, hut of rewnt years ef- 'icient fire ilei>artm»>nts have Vieen or- ganized in thOMe. cities, and th* light I amboo and malting buildings are so easily removed tli.at by blowing up or tearing down a few. the advance of 1 fire can l)e stopi>ed. In 1842 Ham- burg, the great commercial emporium of Northern (iermany, was almost ruined by 1 fire among its warohou.ses which destroyed pro|}eriy to the amount of S 35 000.0110, .'^even years Iw- ''ore the. great Hamburg fire New York imilarly suffered; over 600 warehouses were blotted out. the loss being var- ously eslimateil at from »20,000,000 to ^SO.OOO.OOO. In 1851 San FrancLsco. then experiencing thie good results of the ;inining boom of 1840. was almost wii>- ed out of ex!.Ht«nc<i by a firo which destroyed i,500 houses and left nearly the entire poi>ulation homeless, a mis- Tortune. however, which was not ta- ken much to heart, for most were transients, and after being burned out a large portion left for the gold fields. In 1876 the flourishing City of St. IJohns, Newfoundland, suffered from a conflagration which d6stroye<l the entire business district of tWe city and cau.sed » loss of 9121.500.000. The im- procvement in fire apparatus and in the efficiency at the fire deiwirtments does not .seem, in many cases, to count for much against a blaze well start- nd. under f,ivorable coadittuiLS, and .'anned by a Mifh wind.

If there is ona place In the whole world where money has no value it is on thle Klondike, 'writes an American correspoiaJent. You see this exemp- lified in the social lifeâ€" if such it may be called â€" of the mining. camps as you see it nonvhere else. On the Klondike gold is a common commodity. Much has been written of this desolate re- gion^ but the historians have, as a rule, dwelt almost entirely upon the mineral development of the oountry. It is my intention to give you a glimpse of the people, their customs, their amusements, and their utter disregard of the value of momey. The principal diversions of Dawson are the gambling saloons and the dunce halls. The most profitable industry is the sale of liquor, the saloons paying no revenue to the government. Beer and whiskey sell for fifty cents a drink. The gambling saloons are run wide open day and night, and the dance halls never oloeo until daylight. It may b» remarked, incidentally, that there are two churches, ooo a Rom- aa Catholic and the other a Protestant Episcopal. I fancy it would make some of your congregations stare to .see the collection, plates heaped up with nug- gets and dust on Sundays. The winning or lo»ing of from $1,000 to f 3.000 at a gBmbllng table excites no comment hero. I was in the Gol- den Palace tha other night, and the Golden Palace is by no means what its name implies, when Swiftwater Bill, a young man whn haila from Spokane, Waah., came in and announced with a whoop that he was going to "bust the banJc." GAMBLING IN DAWSON. Swiftwater 3ill ownasome of the rich- est claims on. Eldorado Creek, and when he breaks loose the dust is sure to fly. Bill took a seat at the faro table, and in jujst one hour he had lost 97.500 in gold nuggets. "Th'ings don't seem to be coining my way to-night." he re- marked OB he rose from his seat and stretched himself. "Let the house have a drink at my expense." There was a ruah tor the bar.' and waiters carried driiLks to the various tables where gunaes were in progress. That round cost Bill |112. Then he lighted a dollar *ad a hiif cigar and strolled out. The gambling saloons, in extarnni ap- pearance, are very much like all the other buildings in Dawson, except that th»y are larger. They are built of logs hewn on three sides and solidly chiake<I with heavy moss. The roufs ar« made of pules, on which a layer of moss fully ten. inches thiuk is laid, and then a layer ot dirt about twelve inohsa deep serves tu keep out the cold. Heavy embankments of earth piled up against the huts on the outside serve OS a<ldittoaaI protection aguinst the chilling blasts of the Arctic winter gales. A few saloons are built of lum- Ixsr, with double walls between which sawdust and mosa are tightly packed, but old Yukuners tell me that such constructed buildings are inadequate against the severe cold weather. Ln^st year log« sold for fl.40 apiece, and no<w they bring as high as 94. To build the oommou'Bat kind of <i log cab- in, say eighteen by twenty-four feet, uoets in the neig'hborhood uf f4„50ll. Games In/volvinR 95,000 aii<l 910,000 are running nighit. and day. Protes- siooal dealers of "banking games" re- ceive 920 a day. The manner of haz- arding money is unique even in a mining-camp. The player takes his seat at a faro table, passes over his .sack of gold dust to the dealer, who dropo it into a sm<i.ll pit;eon-hole. The cliance of 'overplaying his .â- <aok" de- volvee upon the player's honor. He is give,n full credit and can call for as m any chips from the 'heck rack as be dftsipoH. Am the checks are passed out a tab is dropped on hts .sack. At the con- clusion, of the pl.vy tlw chips on hand are credited to the account of the .sack. The dealer hand-s the player a, slip of paper showing th* condition of the ac- count, and the latter takes it and his s,aok of gol<l to the Iwr If h«? has lost he weighs out his »fol<l dust. or. in the evenit of winning, the Imrkeeper does the paying. "SHORTY'S" FORGETKUl.NESS. About four o'cAock one morning a miner known a» "Shorty" left bis seat at the table where be lioil been playing t,ll ulght, saying that be had Kone broke. The dealer handed him his bag i»f dust and his .slip, the latter cor- responding almo.<«L to a grain with tlie value of the gobl. "Shorty"' walked over to the bar aad invited a couple i>f other miiMrs to have a drink. Then he wa.s seized witli a fatal fit of for- getfulness. He e<lged toward the door and was about, to push it ope^u when the bar- tender called to him:â€" "Say. Shorty, haven't you forgot something?" "Forgot hell !" exclaimed Shorty, anul the door swung out. When it rebounded it stoi>ped half way, ol>- strujoted in its inward passage by the iHMiy of 3. dyiu« man. X flash of flame and the report of a pistol from sume.- whene in tiiat low oeilinged. .smoke la- d«a rooiA, explained the draught of cold air that came in through the half open door. "Shorty" was buried the next day. In the effete East there is .^ fine distinction drawn lietween the society man and the olub man. The same distinction is drawn here. The club is the gambling saUwn ; sotdety is the dance hall. 1 attended a "soiree" at the Morning Star. A TYPICAL DANCE HALL. I got in about midnight, although the dancing begins as early as seven o'clock in the evening. The building is a large one. built of logs, hut with a floor of roug'h henvn boards. It ans- wers every purpose, however, for the mazy waltz and tlue two step are not popular with these boisterous revellers. They prefer the old fashioned Virginia reel, or the plain quadrille, with lots of room to thxciw their feet about. You could cut the tobacco laden at- mosphere with a knife. Through the blue haze the figures of a couple of musicians could be faintly distinguish- ed fiddling away for dear life and call- ins out, "Sashay all!" "Swing yerpard- oers I" "Ladies through I" as the occas- ion demanded. They received 920 a night for doing this, and they earned every peniiy of it. To one side, extending tbfi entire length of the room, was the bar, and the three dispenisers of drinks were what lietfer brand brou^it 940. Of course, the men greatly outnum- bered the womea. There were pro- bably a do/en of the latter, some of them young and quite pretty. They have little or no time to rest between the dances, and when the morning sun peeps over the eastern mountains he finds them a jaded and somewhat lied- raggleil lot. But they charge a dollar for every dance, and Cripple Creek Car- rie, the ackno>wledged belle of the "dancing set" has Ixsan known to make aa much as a hun<lred dollars a night tripping tha light fantastic toe. THE SOCIAL LEADEH. A young fellow whom they called "Pinkey" was pointed out to me as the social leader of Daw-son City. He was the only man In tlie room who wore a boiletl shirt. When ha goes to a dance, which is almost every night, he carries a pair ot pumi>s with him. He leaves his boots behind the bar, dons has pataut leathers and sails in on a wiUl career of terpsichorean dis- .siiiation. "Pinkey" liiis Ijeen known to buy $120 worth of dances in three successive nights Most of the men wore their ordinary working clothes, with top boots or heavy, spike bottom shoes. Their heads were covered by broad brimmed hats, which they never removed, and in their mouths were < igar but ts, which aeemed equally stationary. Kist fights form a mild sort ot di- version at theue affairs, usually brought about by a dispute over who shall dance with the women. Occasion- ally the evening's fe.stivitio3 will con- clude with a shooting affray, an.l along toMrard morning, when the corn Juice has commem^ed to get in its fine work, a popular form ot amusement is shoot- ing out the light.s. Hut as a, rule fisti- cuffs find the greatest favor. With all this talk alxmt drinking and gambling .saloons and dunce halls. I dare say you are wondering if the In- habitants of Da»'-son City ever eat. I assure you they do, but it is quite as e.xijenwive a luxury as are the other forms of <li»sipalion. Ealing here is really a dlssipaticm. If you <lon't be- lieve it, I'll tell you what my dinner consisted of to-day. I had sour dough bread, with molii-sses instead of butter, frie<l salt pork, stewed apples, oatmeal mush and tea. For supper I had tea, oatmeal mush, stewed apples and sour dough bread, with molasses. For breakfast I shall have graham pan- cakes, fried oatmeal mush and coffee. DOGS BY rHh: HUNDREDS. I must tell you about the dogs. It is my hone-sit ix>nviction that no com- munity of this .size ever Imd so many dotps. It is estimated that there are nearly 1.500 of the animals in Dawson Oity, and as many more in the mines. Thte most of tliem are fin« appearing fellows, and in tlus cold season net thoir owners ha iidsonio profits by haul- ing sleds heavily laden with supplies to the luljatxMit mining camixs. In town they travel in cxxmimnies ranging from twni to twenty, ami the moment they catch sight of another dog away from his omipany the piu!k will give cha'e. Vag fights are .•*<> iu>mmon as not to ex- oite a passing H(lam«. Personal vanity in the matter of dress is an it-era mfiui small exiwnse in DawBom City. I paid 91 75 for hav- ing a white shirt wa»he<l and ironed the other day. and then 1 couldn't wear it. The misguiiled laundress had not only stan-heii and ironed the bo.som but had subJB-ted the entire garment to tliat operation. It might have Ijeen all right for a suit of mail, but as an article irf fin ile siecle wearing apparel it was quite out of tiBe question. FORTH NE« IN THIRSTS. .â- Vsido from Wie two stores, three or four !>arl)er shops, half a dozen laund- ries, five or six roNtaurants, a .second ban<l st^re or two, two .sawmills, three butcher shops, two jewelry stores, a dozen physii-ians and dentists, a couple of real estaj* offices, the principal bus- iaass engaged iu is the sale of inl.oxi- oaata.

A rumor has eiua- oated from offitrial .sourc«« and is go- ing the round Ia) the effect that a Can- adian official will arrive shortly and enforce a law permitting only hotel and inn keepers to engage in selling liquors.

Some months ago Maggie, tha fif- teen-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Sweeney, of John street, ot thlf town, began lo fail both in health and spirits. Her face was almost as white aa chalk, her appetite very fickle, and her limlw began to swell. Notwithstanding her growing weaknoss she persisted in attending school until one day her teacher advised her to go home, and not to return until she felt better. At the same time the teacher, who knew the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in such case^, advised her to take them. The advice was followed, and Mrs. Sweeney told our reporter that almost from the outset there was an improve- ment in her daughter's condition. Her appetite liecame better, the color* re- turned to her face, and the savers headaohes that had made her so misar- able vaaiabad, and she is now feeling l)etter than she has done for many months. It is quitb evident that this younff maiden was suffering from a la<;k of blood, as do so mhny young girls who are Just at a critical iioint in life and it is quite as apparent that there is no other reomody the equal of Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills in such cases. They enrich the blood, SLtimulate the nerves and build up the entire .sy.stem. and mothers will act prudently if they in- sist upon their daughters taking an occasional box.

Avoid imi- tation by insisting that every box you purchase is enclosed in a wrapping bearing the full trade mark "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." THE PERFECT SLVRRIAOE. A perfect and complete marriage ia. perha{is aa rare aa perfeot personal Iieauty, Men and women are married frac- tlonaliy- now a small fraction, than a large one. Very few are married totally, and they prolmhly only after some forty or fifty years of gradual appros-^h and experiment. .Such large and sweet fruit ia a com- plete marriage that m eils a very long summer to ripen in, and then a long winter to mellow and season it. But a real, happy marr age of love and judgment between a noble man and a woman is one of the lhing^• so lovely that if the sun were, as tha Greek poets fabled, a god, ha might atop the world in order to feast hia eyes on so rare a spectacle. MARRIED TO A Fl.OWER-V.VSE. Among the curious marriage (^ustoma prevailing in China is one which ia thus descrilsiil by a writer: Not long ago. a very pretty girl, tha daughter of a prominent Chinese of- ficial, was married with great pomp to a large, red flower-vase, repre.sent- ing a decea.sed briilegroom. who had died a few days Iwlore his wedding was to lie celebrated. His inconsolable bride-elect declared tliat ^he would never marry any one else, but would devnt'i herself as a wid- ow tb the dead man's ffcmiiy. So the ceremony with the flotver-vase was gone through with to enable the girl to enter the family, and the town proposes to build an arc^ to commem,- orate her devotion. POPtn.ATION AND AREA.
