Not more than one half of the loss is covered by insurance, for the reason that the insurance companies have refused to carry any greater risk, on account of the inflammable material of which all the buildings in Aberdeen are constructed. Every business man in the city is a loser, either by lire, water, removal, breakage or loss by theft. Not anticipating that the flames could get beyond the fire departments control, many waited until the fire was close upon them before starting to move out. Tlie streets were soon strewn and y tiered with all kins Cf n aterial, and the rush arid h&st of teams and people In every direction caused great confusion. The fire started In the old Mack building on Hume street, owned by Oscar L. Crain, which has been regraded as a firetrap and a dangerously constructed building. It was three stories high and was occupied by numerous single men, whocooked their own meals, chiefly on oil stoves. Meade, a young woman Los Angeles three weeks ago to attend college at San Francisco, was shot and killed by Paul Schmidt, as she was approaching her lodging place at 1819 street. Immediately after Laguna shooting the girl Schmidt walked a short distance down the street, and, placing the pistol to his head, blew out his brains. On leaving the house Miss Meade was met by Schmidt, who had been waiting in the neighborhood for some time. Miss Meade and Schmidt adjourned to a nearby doorway, where Ihey stood for a few minutes. Schmidt, talking earnestly and with many gestures. Miss ileade stepped away from him and approached a fireman, to whom she said: I beg your pardon, At that moment but this man Schmidt began shooting. He sent four bullets into the girls body. When she fell dead he calmly looked at hefi a few moments and walked down the street, removing the empty shells from K:k levoiver. Schmidt and Miss Meade have been acquainted for several years and were once engaged to marry. His attentions became distasteful to her, however, and she, becoming alarmed at his threats against her life, gave up her position in Lcs Angeles and went to Boston to escape him, afterward coming to San Francisco, where Schmidt followed.

Ninety-thre- Death and panic by yellow fever after a reign of two months have reduced the population of Linares, Mexico, from 15,000 to 4,000, and the dread scourge Is vanishing because the remainder of the population has been immuned. It has been a siege of horror. Deaths during the most malevolent days numbered from twelve to thirty, and people fled through the mountains afoot and by any means possible. Few Americans remain and previously there were nearly 3,000 living there. The authorities, though no efforts were spared, found it difficult to handle the situation because the outbreak of the disease was general and the spread rapid, and it was necessary to haul the dead to the burying ground without preparing them for burial. More than 400 persons were stricken at the same time, and as fast a$ they died or recovered others fell before the hot breath of Yellow Jack. Mothers remained who could have saved their lives to nurse their stricken sons, and sisters stayed by their brothers until they fell, only to ride on the same dead wagon. The moonlight summer nights which had so beautified the plaza and afforded the throng of promenaders the inspiration so lovely, coupled with the native strains of the government band, were nights of dire misery, and the streets were gloomy and deserted. e Russian War Vessels Ready for Business. The Russian squadron has returned to Port Arthur. Correspondents there report that preparations have been made against an apprehended attack on the ninety-threwar vessels In port. The entrance is protected by a boom of heavy logs. A closer investigation of the number of troops reviewed by Viceroy Alexieff at Port Arthur seems to indicate that the official total, 76,000, would have been correct If all the corps engaged contained their full complement. It appears, however, that most of the regiments had only about of their normal strength, so that the number reviewed was about 45,000. The total of the Russians about Port Arthur Is 75,000 men. London correspondents continue to e send in alarmist reports of the situation. The special correspondent at Cbefoo of the Morning Post has gone to whence he cables: I am informed in trustworthy quarters that Japan has landed troops at Ping Yan, at the outlet of Korea bay. It Is currently reported that the conference of the Russian and Japanese authorities has been futile. The correspondent at Hakodate, Japan, of the London Daily Mail announces unusual military activity there, saying 100.000 men have been concentrated at Hakodate, in readiness for embarkation In event of hostilities. The correspondent adds that torpedoes are being laid in the ports of western Japan. Other of the Daily Mails correspondents report the recall by Japan of her military commission, which has been examining the Swiss hospital system, and the uneasiness of Russian authorities as to the capability of Port Arthur to resist attack from its land approaches. e two-third- s Russo-Japanes- i, Should Have Taken a Vacation.

No Longer a Matter of Skill. about to Invade the Not satisfied with the tremendous strides made In the commercial world, man is invading the realms of polite learning with mechanical appliances, and the lathe, the wheel and power threaten to displace chisel and the skill of the sculptor. A whirl of the wheel and all the romance that has surrounded art for ages is no more. The art of sculpturing mechanically Is said to have been solved, at least so far as the making of busts is concerned, by Sig. Auguste Bontempi of Naples, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, already famous in medi Machinery Is fdomains of art. cine, in fiction and In war, has lent his name to this invention of what is considered a remarkable machine. Conan Doyle and W. G. Jones, also of England, have acquired all the British rights to the invention. The machine consists essentially of needle or a revolving steel drill, which is worked hydraulically. The machine Is designed only for the purely mechanical processes of the sculptor's art. One machine, It is said, can turn out as much work in twelve hours as it takes two months to complete by hand. Of course, ones Imagination can run riot as to the possibilities of this invention. It is. said that when the Yankee improvements are made on it, possibly the laurels of Michael Angelo and Pygmalion will be in danger, and the work 06 the golden age ot Greek and Italian sculpture will be cleverly Imitated. The work the machine does in seven hours, according to critics, is astounding. Living models are employed and likenesses struck off in marble that are reported to be marvelous. THINK WELL OF AIRSHIP.
