The Philadelphia Manufacturer,
organ of the Tariff League, warns
the Ways and M?ans Committee
that -unless its bill shall give "in
creased protection'' the Republican
party will be beaten at the next
election. This is pretty hard on the
committees, but it is harder still on
the party, which is perfectly insatia
ble. The more they get the more
they want. They will have a hard
old row to hoe in '02.
During the past two weeks more
than fifty applications have been
made for admission to membership
in the New York Real Estate Ex
change. This is regarded as an in
dication that the market for real es
tate will continue active during the
remainder of the season. Much of
the money which was formerly in
vested in stocks and bonds has found
its wav into houses and lots. Pjicc-s
for real estate in good localities in
New York and vicinity are pretty
well maintained and it is predicted
by some dealers that the market
will bo even firmer in the near fu
ture.

ISellef Valves.
Chief Newman showed us this
morning plans of relief valves and
shut-off nozzles for hose pipes which
he has asked from the city for the
use of the department. A great sav

secured by the adoption of these
improvements. Their use will en

to the hydrant to which the hose is
attached.

All honest, conscientious' physi

its superiority over ALL other blood
medicines,
Dr. W. J." Adair, Rockmart, Ga.,
writes: "I regard B. B. B. as one of
the best blooiT medicines."
Dr. A. H. Roscoe.Nashville,Tenn.,
writes: "All reports of B. B. B. are
favorable, and its speedy action is
wonderful.5
Dr. J. "W, Rhodes, Crawford ville,
Ga., writes: "I confess B. B. B. i
the best and quickest medicine for
rheumatism I have ever tried."
Dr. S. J. Farmer, Crawfordville,
Ga., writes: "I cheertully recom
mend B. B. B. as a fine tonic altera
tive. Its use cured an excrescence
of the nesV after other remedies ef
fected no perceptible good."
Dr. C H. Montgomery, Jackson

sisted on my getting B.'B. B. for her
rheumatism, as her cas stubbornly

Classical Concert.
The entertainment to be given in
the. Opera House next Tuesday night
is a classical concert. A most excel
lent, delightful and varied pro
gramme has been arranged 'and will
be presented on that occasion. Much
of the very best musical talent in
the city will take part. The box
sheet is now. open at Mr. Yates1 and
a great many seats have already
been secured. Those who have not
yet secured them and, who don't
wan't to "get left." should see to it
at once.
The Minstrels.
As was predicted by us. a very
large audience was present last night
at the Opera House to greet the
Primrose and AVest Minstrels on
their appearance here. Those who
were present expected a good show
and not one was disappointed. It
was one of the best ever seen in Wil
mington. The music was good, the
scenery was very fine and the spec
ialties were remarkably attractive.
Barber's wonderful feats on the
bicycle were alone worth the price
of admission. "The Popinjays" was
a unique and delightful fetiture, and
Barney Fagan, Lew Dockstader,
Daly, Waldron, Martin and in fact
every member of the troupe was a
host in himself. They cannot come
to see us again too soon or too often.
Wsterlay's4 Fire.
Thealarin of fire yesterday after
noon was caused by the ignition of
the r5oiu of the residence of Mr.
Chas. F. Browne, on Mulberry
street, near Front. The wind Was
blowing fiercely at the time and
the dense smoke that issued from
the roof of the building seemed to
presage a terrible calamity. But
the fire department was promptly
on hand and fully equal to the emer
gency. The fire was tackled with a
will. Three streams were soon
playing on the roof of the burning
building and one found its wav to
the fire from the inside. The house,
which was a small building, known
is "a story and a jump," was only
partially burned and it is probable
that .$300 will cover the loss. It was
insured with Messrs. Atkinson &
Manning,for $750, in the Fire Asso
ciation, of Philadelphia. It was
owned by Mrs. Mary Hollingswoith,
of Point Caswell. Mr. Browne's
furniture was all removed but was
damaged considerably by water and
by removal. It was insured in the
St. Paul Fire and Marine, represent
ed here by Messrs. Brown & Cowan.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but is supposed to have caught from
a spark or from a def ective Hue.

The manner in which the fire de
partment tackled that Qre yWtenUv
is worthy of all eommendatioii.
They worked, a 041 ancient hull
vidua! of the colored persuasion re
marked -like flshroes.'V There were
two other frnme houses near it, on
on the East, the other on the West,
with scarcely room enough to roll h
wheelbarrow between and yet neith
er was scarcely scorched. It was a
well managed affair and shows what
a small chance n good stout fire, is
111 the hands of our "department
when they can get plenty of wnter
to work with. '
