Chicago's Large Fire.
CHICAGO, Adg. 3.-—The 60 acres of the
lumber district over which the fire swept
last night were still smoldering today,
but before daylight all danger of a spread
of the flames was over. All over the dis-
trict between Blue Island avenue and the
river and Robey street and Ashland ave—
aue the yards were covered with smoking
piles of lumber and wrecked buildings,
and streams of water were poured over the
ruins all day. The total loss was estimated
today at close to $2, 000,000.

hog Li. :';ers. Over 10,000 head of hogs
were received at the yards today. but
packing houses instructed their buyers
not to buy at any figure. The only trad-
ing done was by shippers. Little effort
was made today toward a settlement of
the strike, and the situation was practi-
cally unchanged.

Other News Notes.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—Senator Gray.
chairman of the sugar investigating coni-
mittoo, presented the report of the corn
mittee to the senate today and asked that
the committee be discharged. The main
report is signed by all the senators of the
committee. but Senators Lodge and Davis
present a supplemental report, and Sona—
tor Allen also presents his own views on
some features of the case. The report
which has the approval of the full com-
mittee recites the causes which lad up to
the investigation and quotes the article
from the Philadelphia Press on which the
charges against senators were based. It
also recites the facts which have been pub-
lished already as to the refusal of the cor-
respondent, Edwards, to answer queries
put by the committee.
Secretary Curiisie is exonerated, and the
parts of the article reflecting on him are
declared to be without foundation. The
conduct of Mr. Edwards, says the report,
in publishing specific charges against
public mun without his personal knowl-
edge calls ion: serious reprobation' of the
senate.
The committee also 53.3.2: “There has
been no testimony presented before your
commit-ice. and your committee has been
unable to discover any, tending to show
that the. sugar schedule was made up, as
it then stood in the proposed amendment
to the tariff bill, in consideration of large
or any sums of money paid for campugn
purposes of the Democratic party. X.)
witness has testified before your commit—
tee that such was the fact, and all the
Democratic members of the finance com—
mittee and all the senators whose names
have been mentioned in the public press
as especially interested in protecting the
sugar refining 'ndustries, or in whose
states sugar refineries existed, have under
oath denied that such was the truth, or
that they but any knowledge or informa-
tion as to any sums of money, large or
otherwise, having been paid for campaign
purposes of the Democratic party by the
Sugar trust. by those oounec with it or
by anybody. as a consideration or favora-
ble treatment of its interests by said par-
ty.” .
The committee also reports the sub-
stance of the testimony of the sugar refin—
ers asserting that its campaign contribu-
tions were made only to the local commit-
tees aud not for the purpose of influenc-
ing national campaigns or for the purpose
of securing or defeating national legisla-
tion. ’ »
As to the third branch of the inquiry,
“Whether any senator has been speculat
ing in sugar stocks during the considera-
tion of the tariff bill, ” the committee
deems it onlynecessary to refer to the tes-
timony.
The committee also unite in saying that
no evidence has been adduced to show
improper conduct on the part of those en-
gaged in the framing of the sugar sched-
ule in the tarifi bill. ‘
The Tmifl' Situation. '
When Senator Jones came out of the
tariff conference-committee room about 12
o'clock today, he said that the conferccs
were still at work, and he hoped that a
basis of agreement might be found. He
said that up to the present time there had
been nothing done with a View to prepar-
ing a report, and he could say that noth-
ing had been agreed upon absolutely.
indicated that there might be some
changes, but maintained that the son ttc
conferees knew they could not depart far
from the senate bill. He boiler-mi the
house conferecs were Logiii-uing to rculizr
this feature of the con test and iii-thinned
that some schedules would be rewritten.
There safems to be a‘gi-ncrul feeling among
members of both houses that. a compromise
between the conferccs will be reached
within a day or tu‘u. :

“OUR MARY’S”? DEBUT.
HER FIRST ROMEO TELLS AN IN-
TERESTING STORY.
A Ridiculous Recitation, Followed by
a Four Months’ Canvass for the Sale
of Tickets, Precedcs Her Discouraging
Debut as Juliet. '
W. M. Griffiths, an actor who played
Romeo to Mary Anderson’s first Juliet,
tells the Louisville Courier—Journal the
story of her debut. Perhaps a few grains
of salt should go with the story, but
whether all fact, or part fact and part
romance, it is thoroughly interesting.
“I can well remember,” Mr. Griffiths
said, “the first time Mary Anderson ever
recited to show professional people what
she could do. The scene was too thor—
oughly ridiculous ever to be forgotten. I
was then a member of Barney M cAuley’s
stock company here aud‘uvas the leading
actor. After the performance one night
I was just going out the stage door when
J obnn y Mackey, now dead, called me
back.
" ‘Hold on,’ he said, ‘you don’t want to
miss the fun. \Ve’ve got a stage-struck
girl here and she’s going to recite.”
“I walked back into the theatre, and
there on the stage was a strip of an unde—
vclopcd girl who couldn’t have weighed
one hundred pounds. There \ -'as but one
thing about her to attract attention, and
this was her eyes. I never saw eyes which
seemed so large and furtivc. In the front
row sat Barney McAuley and a. lot of
newspaper men. Soon she. began to re-
cite from ‘Romco and Juliet,’ and when
she came to the part where the lovedorn
lass refers to her ancestor’s bones, she got
down on the stage and rolled all over the
s..—
MARY ANDRES ' .' 3:.
place. She wore a dark dress of the
cheapest material. The stage was never
scrubbed and not swept with any great
regularity. The result was that she
caused quite a cloud of dust, and Barney
and the newspaper men applauded up-
roariously, laughed immoderately, and
shouted_‘Bravo!’ with such intensity that
her words could scarcely be heard.
“\Vhen she had finished the newspaper
men insisted on having more, and she
stood in a frightened way, \ 'ith her large
eyes glancing timidly from one to another,
apparently willing to recite further se-
lections. H er dress, whichhad been dark,
had become perfectly white with stage
dust, and Barney concluded the gang had
enjoyed enough for one evening, and told
the girl that would do. This was Mary
Anderson’s first appearance as an aspirant
for dramatic honors.
“Later she came to Barney McAuley
and said she wanted to make her debut in
‘Romeo and Juliet.’
“ ‘My child.’ said Barney, ‘you can have
my theatre if you will pay me $100 for it
whenever you are ready to appear.’
“ ‘But where am I to gct that much
money?’ she asked in despair.
“Barney then suggested that she go
around and get people pledged to attend
the performance. If they didn’t want to
buy tickets. he would accept the pledges
of busiucss men in good standing. So out
she started, trudging the streets from"
place to place. For four weary months
she kept going daily.
“Finally she raised the amount and
went to Barney, who lléid never dreamed
the girl would succeed. (July Barney and
Mrs. McAulcy were present when the de—
lighted girl told of her success. After
Barney realized the girl had actually
raised the, sum he had fixed, he asked
what pl:._',' slut had chosen for her debut.
“ ‘liomco :illll .lulict.’ " was her answer.
“ ‘But, my dear,’ he rvmonsiratecl, ‘thc
costumes will cost you at least. 5’150.’
“At this the poor girl fainted. She felt
she could not misc another cent. 'thn
she hail rcvivcd, Mrs. McAulcy said the
aspiring girl should wear hm." costumes.

Nearly C overed with Eczema.
TURTUBING AGDNIES PlTIABlE
No Rest or Sleep Day or

diatcRelief and Speedy Cure
by CUTICURA.
My bab boy, 5_months old, broke out with
eczema. e itching and burning was intense-
the eczema spread to his limbs, breast, face, an
head, until he was
nearly covered; his
torturing a onies were
Eitiable to ehold; he
ad no peace and but
little rest night or day.
He was under treat-
ment at diiferent times
at two hospitals and by
seven doctors in this
city without the least
benefit; every pre-
. , scriptionof the doctors
‘ was faithfully tried,
. , . but he grew worse all
f' the time. For months
I expended about $3_ per week for medicines,
and was entirely discouraged. I purchased
CUTICURA, CUTICURA SOAP, and CUTICURA
RESOLVENT, and followed the directions to the
letter. Reliefwas immediate,his suferings were
eased, and rest and sleep permitted. He steadily
ini‘proved and in nine weeks was entirely cured,
an has now as clear a skin and is as fair a boy
as any mother could wish to see. I recommend
every mother to use it for ever Baby Humor.
