A fire, the extent and damage of which Is only paralleled by the great fire which destroyed the city of Ohlcago-In 1871, visited tno Iclty of Baltimore Sunday. Up to a late hour last night It waa burn ing with uncontrolled fury. The fire began about 11 o'clock Sun day morning by an explosion In the wholesale dry goods house of JohnJ E Hutst A Co It waa aided by the fierce shifting wlnda and ail the large stores of the wholesale district fell easy prey to the fury of' the flames. . The fire leaped from block to block and acrosa wide streets until the local firemen were totally unable to atem the progress of the Are, From the wholesale dlatrlota the fire attacked the retail stores, hotela theatres, churches, handsome -office buildings and the whole business sec tion of the city waa In the conflagration. A space over a mile long and half a mile wide la aald to have been burned. The losses will reach tZOO.OOO.OOO.The published list of business houses In the burned district gives the names of 83 firms. This however Is Incomplete and there are probably many more lathe dleaetei: The newspaper offices said to be destroyed are The Sun and The Morning Herald. - Other buildings of more than local Importance, which are burned are: Baltimore St Ohio Central Building, Equitable Building, Calvert Building, Maryland Trust uompany Building and ..Continental Truat Com pany Building. The lose of life la great. Thirteen firemen were killed and many citizens were killed and Injured In their efforts to save property. The call for help was answered by Washington, Philadelphia and Wil mington. Four hundred streams of water were playing on the flames but with all this the work waa unavail ing. The train bearing the contingent of firemen from Washington made the distance between the . two ottles of 48 miles U 81 minutes. A speed of about 79 ntlles an hour. A report waa current last night that the fire had broken out afresh after dark and had extended to reslnenee partlon. This report could not be confirmed. At four p m Monday the fire waa still beyond control and the loases surpassed those of the great Chicago fire of 1871 There were many reports still coming, but generally hard to determine the actual facta In them worthy of publica tion. : : ' At 9 p m last night the report waa that the fire was still burning, and Its end could only be through exhausted ma terial apon which It coald feed.

About January 15, 1904, the fixed red light at Northwest Point of Royal Bhoal light station, about 9 miles WNW. iW. from Ocracoke llghtout, was permanent ly discontinued. The old lighthouse structure ha been Indicated on the charts as an old tower.

The focal plane of the light is elevated 88 feet above the water, and the light should be risible lit miles In clear weather. ;.

What Some Coaatles Ualn From School Fnad. R. F. D. Boates. Baslness Outlook tieod. Mo ;Prlvate Bottles For Thirsty Baleigh- Iteg. Raleigh, February 8. Fifty eight .counties asked for aid from the State out of the fund of tlOO.000 for keeping their public schools open four months In the year. The largest sum allowed anyone county la a little over $4,000. The board of education founl that If a calculation were made It proved that those counties which asked for the lar gest amount were getting their public schools actually at less per cspita than those which made no request at all for aid. Take the case ef a Piedmont coun ty one which baa only $15,000 of school fund and yet haa 10.0C0 children. Even with the aid which It geta from the atate it receives only $3 a year per capita far Its children, while In some counties which have made no request for help the per capita cost of four montns schools Is half a dollar to a dollar more than this figure. By taking the total school fund and adding to It what coun ties receive from this hundred thousan d dollars, and then dividing the total amount by the number of children It la discovered that they get four months school at less cost per capita than those cauntles which make no call and also at lens than the average per cspita in the State. The number of rural free delivery mall routes has reached 473, which Is said to be a gain of over 150 during the paat twelve months. The business outlook in this State Is said to be extremely good. The farmers are as a rule in better spirits than In a core of veara or more. The prices of totmcco have advanced considerably, and this carries out the statement which waa made by an official of the American To bacco Company that prices muBt ?e ad vanced in order to induce the farm ers to plant tobacco this year. It la said that about 40 per cent of the tobacco grown in this section Is yet un sold. The Board of Aldermen have by a de cisive vote knocked oat the scheme of some of the ex-bar-keepers to have lock ers in their placea in which oustomers were to keep their bottles.- One of these saloon men hashed these lockers In operation two or three weeks and fall of private bottles, the keys for the lock ers being hung on a board ready tor cus tomers hands.
