Denver, Col„ Oct. 1.—The weathei man can offer no hope for those on the western slope whose homes and crop* are threatened by the forest fires. There are no indications whatever ot rain, and this seems to be the only element able to stay the flames’ fury. Ilfli Winds Fan the Flames. Throughout Eagle county highwindi hare prerailed, giving a fresh impetus to the forest fires that are devastating the timber domain. In consequence new territory is being devoured. The blaze is rapidly extending along tht grand reserves of Girard mountain, west of Homestake creek, and from present appearances will sweep ths country to Bear mountain, at Min* turn. ' Little Remains to Barn. Back of Minturn to the heads of Willow and Two Elk the country js jie* vastated, little remaining to feed th< flames. From Hoosier mountain the wind has driven the fire to the edge ->f Gypsum creek. The settlers of Upper Gypsum, Gannon, Collins and others are fighting, desperately to save their homes and stop its jmssage across into the magnificent forests of West Brush. If it gets into Brush, the finest body of timber in the state Is gone. No loss of life has been reported. but several people have lost their homes and their crops. ‘ (government Reserve on Pirn. The big White River government reserve, starting in Garfield county and extending through Routt and Rio Blanco, is also on fire. Reliable reports show that the fire* are now nearly 300 miles in circumference, with Glenwood for a center, and practically every mountain rang* with timber is ablaze. FIRES IN WISCONSIN. A Heavy Rain Quenched the Flames, Bat Mot Before a Million Dollars' Worth of Property wan Destroyed. Milwaukee, Oct. 1.—Reports received at the railroad offices in thii city are to the effect that the forest fires in the northern part of the state were quenched by a heavy_fall of rain Thursday night. The heaviest loss was suffered at Cumberland, where 25 families were rendered homeless by the flames, and a large saw mill plant, valued at $225,000, was wiped out. Wires are down in all directions, and particulars of the ruin wrought have not yet been received. Only one death as far as known has resulted, that of Mrs. Jacob Correzon, at Drywood. Two children of Mrs. Correzon were seriously burned while attempting to rescue their mother. The pecuniary loss* is not expected to reach over $1,000,000. General Superintendent Collins of the Wisconsin Central lines says not a penny’s damage has been done to his company’s property. Assistant General Superintendent Bush, of the St. Paul road, had heard of nothing unusual from the fire section.

FIGHTING THE FLAMES. Valuable Forest* Still Burning In the VIrtally of Chippewa Falls, Win Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 1.—A special to the Journal from Chippews Falls, Wis., says: The forest fires art •till creating great haroc through thii section of the state. No rain has yet fallen in the district tributary to this point, and the lumber companies art sending hundreds of men into the woods in an endeavor to save standing pine. It is estimated that already 500,003,000 feet have been destroyed All trains coming into Chippewa Fall! from the north and west are hour! late. The Wisconsin Central is experiencing great difficulty in handling traffic, as its wires are all down. A movement has been started to assist the homeless farmers who have burned out. Thousands are still lighting the flames, but are making little headway u everything is dry as tinder. SMOULDERING RUINS. fh* Mill Fortloa of Camber land, ITIs, Licked Up by Flame*.

DEATH OF THOS. F. BAYARD. T%* AgmA StetMBkD Puhi Quietly ant Peacefully to w« Rent, tarraud* Ml by FrieutU. Dedham, Maas., Sept. 29.—Thomas F. Bayard ‘ died at half-past four o’clock yesterday afternoon at -Karlstein, the summer residence of his daughter, Mrs. Samuel D. Warren, after an illness of six weeks. His death was without pain. His wife, his two daughters—Mrs. Warren and Miss Florence Bayard—and his son, Thomas F., Jr., saw him draw his last breath, and his third daughter, the Countess Lauenhaupt, was on her way to Dedham.

THOMAS F. BAYARD The remains will be conveyed to Delaware, and the formal services will be held Saturday in the old Swedish church at Wilmington. Karlstein lies off the Dedham road. Here about the middle of August came Mr. Bayard, to be the guest of his daughter and son-in-law. He was sick, but It was given out that his illness was merely due to declining years. He steadily grew weaker, however, and had spells of semi-conscious-ness and of delirum. A consultation of physicians vyas> held August 26 and they agreed that'Mr. Bayard was suffering from artorie-colorosis and a general breaking down, incident to age. He suffered no pain to any noticeable degree, and the chief tendency was to sleep. During the first few weeks of his illness Mr. Bayard was able to sit up, but as the days passed he became gradually weaker, and three weeks ago he laid himself on his bed and never again rose from it. At times he would rally to some extent, but the relapse carried him always nearer the end. His wonderful constitution resisted the ravages of disease for a surprising period. Much of the time he was in a semi-conscious condition, seldom recognizing any of th* family, and at intervals having sinking spells, accompanied by choking. These left j him always weaker. Tuesday it beS came evident that his death was a j matter of only a few hours. Still he ! lingered, having a slight rally during the night, and during the forenoon j yesterday his condition showed little i change. At four o'clock he began to sink rapidly, and half an hour later he 1 gently passed away. To-day the body I will be sent to Delaware, being due to | arrive at Wilmington late Friday afternoon. COUNTERFEITER ARRESTED. The Secret Service Bureau Report# aa Important Capture-Largo Quantity of Bofui Money Taken. Washington, Sept. 29.—Chief Wilkie of the secret service bureau yesterday received a telegram from Operator Forsythe, at El Paso, Tex., announcing the important capture of an alleged counterfeiter, who is charged with flooding the Mexican border with bogus United States notes. The man arrested is George D. Fontain, and when he was placed in custody at El Paso, $5,000 in flve, ten, 20 and* 50dollar notes, including a counterfeit of the new five-dollar silver certificate, were found upon him. All were produced by the photograph process, with the seals and numbers touched up with colors. The detective also secured a number of Mexican counterfeits. The bogus bills were discovered in Dallas and Fort Worth a month ago, and later at El Paso, where Fontaine, it is charged, made his headquarters, finding that he could pass the notes more easily across the Mexican border, securing Mexican money in exchange, which hs brought baek to the United States. The arrest is regarded as important.

MAKE A NOTE OF IT. Mall Matter far Ha trail Uottratd by I’alvrrtal Union Postal Ratos, Military and Naval Mall Exroptod. Washington, Sept, 29.—The numerous articles of • mail matter reaching the -San Francisco post office, addressed to Hawaii, paid for at only do- ! meatic rates, indicate a general but erroneous impression that our domestic postal system was extended to those islands when they were annexed. The post office department has called attention to the fact that the Universal Postal union rates apply to ! the Hawaiian mails as heretofore, the \ only exception being in matter addressed to our military or naval force there, to whom domestic postage applies. Troops Sot lug to Their Regular Stations. New York, Sept. 29.-—The First cavalry arrived from Mon tank Point yeaterday afternoon, and was taken in ferryboats and lighten from Lopg Island City around the Battery to the railroad yards of the New York Central, on North river. This railroad has the contract to carry the troops to stations in the departments of Colorado and Dakota. The Chesapeake & Ohio railroad and the Pennsylvania on Tuesday received the contract for carrying the Second* Sixth and Tenth cavalry regiments to Huntsville, Ala.

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY. A ToaafWoau, Demented by the Death of Her rather. Kills Her Mother and Herself. Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 3.—Bertha Bielstein killed her mother yesterday and later put four bullets into her own body from the effects of which she cannot recover. The only explanation the girl has given for her terrible deed were, these words: Was Tired of Ufc. “I was tired of life. It held no pleasure for me. I wanted to die and did not want my mother to live and fret over my death. For that reason I killed her.” .What ths Son and Brother Saw. The crime, which was committed some time early in the morning, was not discovered until late in the day, when a son of the murdered woman came to the house to see his mother. He went to her room and found her body cold in death. A bullet wound at the right side of the nose told the ’story. The bed was covered with blood and there was every indication that death had ensued some hours before. In a room adjoining that of the mother the son found the body of his sister. She was lying in a pool of blood and in her right hand was clutched a revolver, the implement of destruction. o

Shot Thmi Times. An examination of Mrs. Bielstein showed that she had been shot three times with a 4S-caliher revolver. Om shot had entered at the right side oi the nose and had taken a downward course through the neck and had cut the seventh cervicle vertebrae. This, the physicians say,' must have caused instant death. Another shot had entered the right breast and the third had passed through the right groin. A Oumu Ion of Only a Short Time. An examination of the daughter'* wounds convinced the physicians that her death was a question of only a 6hort time. A bullet from a 48-calibei hud torn its way through the right temple and had passed out at the to| of the head. From both the entrnnct and exit of the wound the brains wert oozing. A bullet from the same sized revolver had been fired into her left breast near the heart, and she had also shot herself twice in the stomack with a revolver of 22 caliber. Why 8n* Killed Her Mother. To one of her brothers during n period of consciousness the girl told ot the shooting of her mother. She saic she went into the room with the revolver in her hand. She had decided to kill herself and knew that th« shock of her death would break hei mother's heart, and concluded death would be preferable to her suffering* on earth. Her mother,, she said, wai sleeping when she went to the room She placed the revolver close to hei breast and tired. On the report ol the pistol the mother sat up in bed and said to her, “Birdig,, what are you doing.” The answer was anothei shot, which, she says, was tired at hei mother's face. This was evidently th« shot which entered Mrs. Bieistein's face and resulted in he* instani death. One more wound was inflicted afterward. P.eut-Broken Over the Death of Uei Father. Frederick Beilstein, the father ol the family, was one of the best knowt residents ot Allegheny. He died suddenly in December last from apoplexy and since then Birdie, who was 2( years old, is said to have lost all hei youthful £ beauty. From the lighthearted, happy girl," she . became a quiet, depressed, despondent woman Hence the friends of the family think she was temporarily insane when aha committed the awful crime. SICK SOLDIERS.

-/ A Radical Difference of Opinion, with ■ Protest from Surgeon-Major Seaman—Disclaimed Responsibility. Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 3.—Surgeon Major Seaman, of the Transport 0$»dam, declares that there will be a repetition of the awful horrors that have characterized the voyage home of the other transports if more sick soldiers are sent on board the vessel for transportation to New York, lie says that when the Obdam left Porte Rico, many on board were sick, yet the first quartermaster refused to furnish wine for their u.^e, but supplied them with hard tack and canned food, saying that he had no authority to do more. Surgeon Seaman said he would hold him responsible should' any deaths occur, and finally succeeded in obtaining suitable food for those , who were ill. He asserts that the ship has every man that he can carry and that if she reaches New York without any deaths occurring, she will be lucky. Hearing that a number of other sick soldiers were to be sent aboard her, the surgeon-major made a protest and stated that he was informed by Gen. Lawton that his protest showed lank of discipline, and that an officer had been appointed to see how many additional the Obdam could carry. Surgeon Seaman rays he will cable to Surgeon-General Sternberg a protest disclaiming responsibility tot whatever may happen. Dryfu Meeting In the Salt* Wmgraa, Paris, Prevented by Of Pollen.

Coat of Russian Coronations. Alexander 11L was parsimonious. On bis deathbed he advised his son to be strictly economical. His own coronation, he said, had only cost 13,000,000 rubles ($6,500,000), but the coronation expenses ought to be and could be further reduced to 7,000,000 rubles. Nicholas II. has preferred, on the contrary, to squander on that unfortunate display more than 60,000,000 rubles, ($30,000,000) taken from the already overburdened state budget. Strict economy in state expenditure was the rule during the previous reign, and this much must be said of Alexander III., that he succeeded in putting an end to the wholesale plundering of Bussia which was going on during the second half of Alexander II.’s rule; he undoubtedly created a certain atmosphere of honesty in the management of the state’s moneys. Under the present czar the watchword is, on the contrary: “Do just as you like! Steal and plunder, but don’t worry me!”—Outlook.

Unpractical. “Your theories are all rery fine,” said Mrs. Sharpe acridly to her husband, who had been holding forth for half an hour on how to put down the rum evil, “but I’d like to see a little real practifc^ worked in along with your fine theories about putting down things. You know all about how to put down the Cuban w ar, the sugar trusts, the rum evil, the monopolists, anarchy, the socialists, treason, the coal miners’ strikes, and every evil under heaven that threatens our country, but if I want you to put down a little eight by ten bedroom carpet I have to dingdong at you for a week and then put it down myself."— Detroit Free Press.

Just before the rising of the London law courts a case involving the playing of golf was heard, and a queen’s counsel engaged in it thus described for the instruction of the judge the ancient and royal game. “I believe, roy lord,” he said, “that the game of golf is played in Irregular field or waste grounds with a small ball which the player tries to hit with a stick. If he succeeds in hitting the ball he spends the remainder of the day in looking for it. That, as I am informed, my lord, is the game of golf.”—London Telegraph. lie Was Korewarned.
