Another Accident From Attempt
ing 10 Light Fire with Coal Oil
Jennie Burris, a Brandywine Village
girl Of twelve years, has for a week past
been living with Mrs. Wadsworth, of No.
307 <. Thirteenth street. About 0.80
O'Clock this morning Jennie attempted
TO start a fire in the kitchen stove, and
In order to facilitate operations she
poured coal oil on the burning wood. As
a natural consequence the oil in the can
exploded, and the blazing fluid scattered
over the girl, setting fire to her clothes
In an instant. Screaming with pain she
rushed out into the yard, and several
persons In the vicinity, attracted by her
screams, at once ran TO ber assistance.
They first threw pail Of water over
her, and then wrapped her In some pie
ces Of carpet, thereby effectually sup
pressing the flames, while one thought
full gentlemen placed his hand over her
mouth, 10 prevent her from inbaling the
fire.
She was carried up stars, and 1t being
asceItained that size wus badly burned
about the body and face, iinsesd oil and
cotton were applied. DR.. q. I'll. Kirch-
hoIS WIN nappeneu 10 Ue uilViug Dy, was
called In, and ordered continuation Of
the same treatment, with the addition OF
lime-water. He said, however, that the
girls chances of recovery were very
slight, especially if she had ilhaled any
of the flame. The girl thinks she inhaled
nothing but the smoke.
The carpet used 10 smothering the hre
having ignited, some eDterprsing geniu;
thought 1t his duty 10 sound fire alarm
from box IS, Thirteenth and KInl
streets. The fire department. promptly
responded, but there was no occasion fol
their services. The girl died at 1.45 p

THE DELAWARE PILOTS
Important Business of the AssOefa.
tion Diseased I'm Meeting at Cape

tiOn Discussed I'm Meeting at Cape
May.
CAPE MAY, August 10.-The Della
ware pilots find The Pennsylvania laws
so oppressive that they have been COM
PEELED to take some action. A meet
ing was held to-day at the City Hall,
with Captain Henry Virden in the
chair, in which fifty Of one hundred
and three pilots were present. A
committee of two from each of the six
boats represented in the Association
reported that since the new law of the
State of Pennsylvania, passed two
months ago yesterday, the net loss of
the six boats had been eleven hundred
dollars. Under The new law the fees
for outward-bound vessels were re-
duced from 20 to 40 per cent, and this
had materially reduced one of the
sources Of income of the boats on sta
ton, and it was thought necessary to
reduce the number of boats in com.
mission. 1t was finally voted to keep
all the six on, in the hope that the rest
of August would bring with it larger
income. If the boals should still show
loss IL would be necessary to lay off
three, leaving only one-half the whole
number in commission. The meeting
voted to accept the report of the Com
mittee and to adopt it. la further ex-
PLANTATION of this deficit it should be
said that the tonnage of Philadelphia
has been much less than last year.

Relief From Cooking,

Philadelphia is developing a system
for relieving the drudgery of house,
keeping which over-worked wives and
mothers will thankfully advocate =
plan, by the way, which was adopted
In London centuries ago. and is an old
established custom there. Family bak-
ing of meats, pies, puddings, cake and
bread is being performed by bakers at a
very moderate charge. Thus, for PIES,
two cents apiece; for bread loaves, four
cents 8 pan; for rice puddings, three
cents pan; for pan of roast meat,
five cents. By this method the food is
better cooked, and hours of tlresome
attendance on little cooking stoves are
saved. A large amount of fuel Is also
saved by this plan. One baker and an
assistant can cook dinners for . hun
bred families, possibly more, at an ex-
pense OF say seven cents per famIfy.
The necessary pail of coal and kind
Hngs for cooking single dinner costs
twelve cents alone. This amount OF
fuel must be provided for each OF the
one hundred families, and In every one
of them the time and labor of one per-
son for at least one hour viii be re-
CURED to get up each dinner. Inc
economical moral to be drawn from
this is obvious and need not be detailed
IN figures.

Women in Journalism.

The influence of women in Journal
ism in the United States is far greater
than appears on the surface. The fact
that there are sixty papers and period
icals openly edited and published by
women gives but q very small frac-
tional idea of the extent of their con-
nection with journalism. The number
of female contributes to all classes of
papers and magazines is not known to
the general public, and not always
even to the publishers, from the fact
that in the hi CHEST class of periodicals
they frequently adopt male mons de
plane. while many others form part of
the editorial staff of influential journ-
ais, where, as impersonal contributors,
sex is not recognized.
