WHAT FIRE MARSHAL DREW SAYS OF HIS RE-
CENT INSPECTIONS.
As stated in The STAR, Fire Marshal Drew
represents, the result Of his inspection of lu-
minating oils, that very much Of the cheap oils
sold in the city is dangerous to use This oil, he
says, is prepared at the oil wells In Pennsylva-
mia and shipped to Baltimore, when IL IL sent to
this city In quantities to agents and distrib uted
TO the dealers here. The accidents which have
occurred here recently, whore persons have
their lives, have come about the fire marshal
says, from the use of these oils. The Wholesale
price Is very cheap-nOt more than half the
the price Of good oil, afiording large profit to
the dealers. The manner Of testing Is quite
simple: The oil can be tested by dealers them

explanation q few weeks ago to dealer he
stepped up to one of the casks of oil in the store

and around the corner, showing that he had no

states that these oils are growing worse every
day. While he found last year that the average
OF bad oil was three per cent, this year abont
onethird OF the coal oils offered for sale in this
District are. cheap, dangerous compounds, and
their use should not be ENCOURAGED.

Women and HammOcks.


From the Detroit Journal.
One Of the prettiest studies in still life incl.
dental to the summer months is furnished by
the fashionable woman who wears q hammock.
There are two classes OF women who depend
upon hammocks. To one of these belongs the
woman who swings herself In the face Of the
public for effect, and to the other the woman
who defies criticism tor the sake OF the solid
comfort she is able to get out OF the swing.
Where a woman climbs into q hammock for
effect there Is more motive visible than where
unadored comfort only is desired. Few women
can master the whims OF q ham mock grace
fully. There are SO many opportunities for
doing the wrong thing at the right time that
nine women out of every ten grow bewildered
and lose the thread of the argument They
want TO accomplish too much in too short q
space OF time. The consequence naturally Is
that somebody or something is pretty certain
TO be overwOrked.
The woman who gets into hammock all OF q
heap aud is afraid to move for fear she will
break her neck, seldom becomes a star in the
profession. The world admires composure,
even in its painted hammocks. The young
woman who makes the hammock q careful
study, and does her practising out In the back
yard somewhere, will eventually win the game.

HE SAVES LITTLE CHILD FROM BEING NAN.
GLED BY A TRAIN.
From the New York World, 18th.
The people in the Pennsylvania depot yester-
day afternoon saw a. daring set OF bravery
which brought forth q storm Of cheers. A
flaxen-haired girl about six years old was play
ing with a ball on the asphalt platform between
the tracks. The ball rolled between the rails
and the little one darted after it. At the same
moment the Trenton express, drawn by q pow
erful locomotive, thundered into the depot on
the track on which the girl stood. The specta-
tors seood as IL rooted to the spot, and some
turned their heads away to avoid seeing the
child mangled, for it appeared as though moth.
ing could save 1t.
When the locomotive was within few yards
OF the terror-stricken girl William HI. Penning-
ton, young man who lives In New Brunswick,
jumped to the track, grasped the child with one
hand, while with the other he seized the pilot
OF the engine. With bound he cleared the
cow-catcher bar and vaulted TO the seat under
the headlight.
The train soon came to . standstin and the
passengers gathered about the modest hero and
shook his hands vehemently. The young man
then placed the unframed child in its mothers
arms.
Mr.. Pennington's ankle was sprained, but he
declined to have q doctor sent for and limped
aboard the train for which he was waiting.

on what, in the departments, IL called sparol

1.-The matter OF forming literary society or

Friend society, was . subject OF frequent discus
sion among its members, and Mr.James Lackey,
